DRANK is the new KoolAid

Trayvon Martin was high on “drank”. That’s why George Zimmerman had to kill him. It makes perfect sense. Trayvon had just purchased an AriZona brand “drank”, formerly known as “Iced Tea” and now known as ghetto thug drug. He had purchase hard candy, rainbow colored Skittles. Original recipe “drank” is 2/3 Sprite and Jolly Ranchers. Of course, “drank” ain’t “shit” without the only ingredient of any significance: cough syrup. Don't tell that to the rightwing crazies, though, they have a story to believe.

 

Its like me getting shot by a creepy ass cracker that followed me and I had coca cola and ice on me. But I was going home to make rum and cokes so I deserved to get shot and killed. I digress...

 

There is no bad reason that Trayvon Martin was killed for no good reason. He had gold teeth. He had his picture taken at 12, even when he was actually 16. He just turned 17 when he was killed. He loved his family and they loved him. But he’s a thug. Black until proven innocent.

 

He punched an aggressor in the nose. Maybe. Or maybe his elbow hit the aggressor in the nose as Zimmerman self-righteously invaded the “suspect’s” space. No other injuries to Zimmerman’s head indicate threat to his life. By his own account, the blow to the nose was the first injury he suffered but it was only after a protracted scuffle that he decided his life was now endangered enough to kill someone that he himself had stalked and threatened. His head was never once smashed against a sidewalk and when he killed Trayvon it was in the grass and after George had invented a self-falsified story about Trayvon going for his gun.

 

But Trayvon was going home to mix his AriZona Watermelon drank and Skittles hard, rainbow colored candy with some cough syrup and get high like PCP. Crazy ass shit that would make someone SO paranoid (that’s irrational fear) he might think a creepy ass cracker stalking him with serious anger and prejudices against him might have ill will in his heart and he might possibly end up dead by this creepy ass cracker. Unless, maybe you stand your ground and defend yourself with all you have without a gun holstered to your angry, prejudiced side.

 

So, if you buy into the notion that Trayvon Martin was in any way whatsoever responible for his own killing, you are not just wrong, you’re kinda racist. And you are dranking the KoolAid. That’s a reference to a creepy ass cracker who got a bunch of people to kill themselves by just believing what he said and drinking the Kool Aid. Drank it.

99% Rapists Men

FBI statistics say that 99% of rapists are men, regardless of the sex of the victim. 99% of rapists are men. Is that a reasonable thing to consider if I feel fearful of a man I don’t know? Is that a defensible cause to shoot any man that I honestly fear that my life is threatened by?

 

99% of rapists are men. If I stalk a man that I decide is an asshole and a fucking punk, up to no good, will I be set free by police because the burden of proof that I am lying in my beliefs is on THEM? If I just shot a man that was acting suspicious and was where I thought he shouldn't be, would I get the benefit of the doubt as the killer that my story was correct, while the story of the dead victim goes untold and unconsidered?

 

99% of rapists are men. What % of men are rapists? If I don’t know the answer to that question, does that give me a right to assume a man is likely a rapist because 99% of rapists are men? If I was honestly and TRULY afraid (by my own account because who can speak for me?), then my claim of fear alone releases me from liability for my killing of an innocent person.

I HATE DONALD TRUMP

I HATE DONALD TRUMP

 

I do. I really, REALLY hate him. It means what it means. I wouldn’t kill him (unless he was attacking me and I was acting in self defense). I just despise him. He sucks. He is the best example of the worst thing human society and evolution can produce. He is the most self-serving, egomaniacal, entitled, patriarchal, spoiled, lazy,  ... asshole that the forces of nature has ever created. He was squeezed from his mother’s loins at 2 seconds old, wealthier than 99.99% of other 2 second-olds could ever hope to aspire through hard work and personal integrity. Fuck him. Fuck his “I got mine, so to hell with everyone else” mentality. You like Donald Trump? He is a brand. You like that brand? You say something about yourself and your values. He has nothing, NOTHING but money. Love money, love The Donald. and why not? He loves himself.

My Mom

My Mom

 

My Mom was a devout Catholic and one of the most loving and caring people I will ever know. She is perhaps THE most loving and caring person I will ever know, but I am necessarily biased. I have never heard anyone who knew her describe her as anything other than a saint. I agree.

 

My Mom was not “for gay rights”. It is hard to assess and express someone’s perspective after they have died and can no longer represent themselves. I have no desire to misrepresent my mother’s perspective. I will not. I miss the opportunity to engage her wisdom. I missed other chances I had to do that before she died.

 

I am only going to say this much, based on my personal communication with my mother. She did not recognize any “marriage” if it was a ceremony outside of the Catholic Church. In her perspective, God was Catholic and any sacrament outside the recognition of that authority was simply not “true” in the eyes of God. She was true to her beliefs but never remotely vindictive or hateful in them.

 

But, she never, EVER suggested that marriages in other churches/religions should not be legally recognized by our pluralistic government. EVER. Period. Love and miss you, Mom. Hope and believe I am living up to all you taught me about communication and understanding toward making the world a better place.

Wingless Free Market

Chicken wing prices have apparently soared and I didn’t know it. My local delivery pizza/wing place changed menu and prices New Year’s and I wasn’t privy when I ordered 50 wings (REAL wings, more later). I asked the total and my jaw dropped. The call ended and I gathered my wits and looked at the menu prices and thought, “how could the price go from $70 to $90 even with inflation? And no, rightwingnuts, its not taxes or burdensome, job-killing regulations. I called the restaurant back to ask about the price and she said chicken wings were through the roof expensive. They LOST money on chicken wings.

 

So, like any curious person, I googled the issue. Lo and behold, wings had been ugraded in value by the free, and let me add STUPID, market! Everybody needs to have wings now. So much so that this previous waste product best added to chicken soup or cat food mixes, now out-values chicken breast. SO MUCH so that chicken breast cut into chicken wing sized chunks is now billed (pardon the pun) as “boneless chicken wings”.

 

I had always wondered in my 2yrs earlier mind (not to be confused with a 2 yr old mind) WHY “boneless chicken wings” could possibly be less expensive than traditional chicken wings. “Traditional” meaning the thing you expect by the word you are using. (wink wink to Chik-fil-A and marriage, chicken and politics entwined)

 

ALL of the chain restaurants must now have chicken wings on their menu. This low-grade, trailer-trash gourmand making of a toss-away piece of an individual’s bodily flesh (let’s not forget what we are eating) started to turn top dollar... maybe akin to shark fins, for what those ordering it perceived they were getting. But then, the “american stupidity” of getting slabs of “boneless” chicken breast as “wings” turned freaking CHICKEN BREAST (excuse my shouting but) CHICKEN BREAST into a lower commodity value than freaking ACTUAL CHICKEN WINGS (again, please do pardon my shouting. I get very excited these days).

 

Am I out of my goddamned mind here or is there SOMETHING seriously, and I mean SERIOUSLY, WRONG with the “free market” economy when chicken wings are valued so much higher than the rest of the chicken... to the point that ignorant, dumbass consumers can actually make “boneless chicken wings” an option as a cheaper value beacuse they ARE NOT FREAKING WINGS?

 

I must be going out of my New York state of mind because I am crazy with this thought. SOMETHING is SERIOUSLY freaking WRONG. Complexity Theory tells us MANY things are WRONG with a species trying to improve itself. I continue to observe and participate, agape.
