Well, I’m still alive!!

Yay, right?  Seriously though, I've been ill for almost two weeks now with some creeping crud that was carried in by a snot nosed plague carrier whose parents obviously did NOT know any better than to drag their obviously ill child out not only into the public, but to the home of elderly people as well.  Yeah, not too bright.

I don’t blame the child for being ill, I actually felt bad for her.  It was obvious to everyone that she didn't feel well, the red cheeks, the runny nose, the hacking cough….hell one would have had to be deaf, dumb and blind to not realize that this poor kid felt like shit.  Every parent knows that when a child doesn't feel well, that child becomes even less well behaved than they usual…..in other words, if your kid is a good kid that rarely refuses to listen, rarely talks back and has really good manners, being ill will make that “good kid” turn into a whiny, defiant brat that doesn't care what you tell them, they simply want you to be as miserable as they are.  Anyway, off topic, but you get the idea.

Let me tell you, this kid is NOT the hypothetical child I spoke of above…..oh no, this child is normally a brat that is allowed to have her way because the parents are too “tired” to deal with her bullshit….in other words the parents are too weak to stand up to a seven  year old and give in to her terroristic tactics because smacking that ass is “abuse” and raising a spoiled, screaming, I WANT IT brat that has NO concept of personal space or belongings is obviously a BIG “favor” to society!!  (Yeah, the kid needs her ass smacked from time to time, like when she gets pissed off at someone because they tell her not to touch the crystal swan because it was given to them by their now dead sister and it cannot be replaced so the child stands there with her lips compressed, her hands on her hips and then reaches out and sweeps the swan off onto the floor (luckily the carpet cushioned it enough to prevent breakage) and says (and I shit you not) “There, now it’s dead like your sister!”)

Anyway, the parents of the terroristic plague carrier need their asses kicked for 1.) raising a terrorist 2.) not having sense enough to keep a sick kid at home instead of spreading Captain Trips throughout the entire county and 3.) NOT busting that brat’s ass when she so desperately needs it.  But, such is our society these days…..sad, dangerous but true.

Speaking of society, as I said, I have been ill.  I haven’t been out and about (because I have more sense than to spread Captain Trips and because I have felt like shit) nor have I been on Fakebook much and I haven’t been watching ANY news because, well, I already feel like shit and I didn't want to feel any worse.  Now, why have I told you all of that?  It’s simple, I've basically missed all the bullshit of the Oscars (YAY ME!!) and I just now found out that President Trump is NOT going to go to the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner and that he also prevented certain news medias from attending a White House press “gaggle” (yeah, if you’re thinking a bunch of geese squawking and screeching at one another and getting absolutely not a damn thing done, you’re spot on!)

The Oscars, in my opinion, is simply a chance for over paid people to spend outrageous amounts of money on clothing that could NOT possibly cost that much in order to be awarded for something they are already paid outrageously to do.  As if that “honor” isn't already enough, they get to stand on stage in front of hundreds of their “contemporaries” and spout hatred toward any and every one that dares to disagree with their opinions.  Basically it’s a very well dressed (in their opinions), expensive and boring circle-jerk by people who are supposed to be entertaining us instead of attempting to pound their opinions down our throats like we are starving baby birds and they have the only regurgitated worms on the planet!

Now, for those of you that do NOT know, the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner (or WHCA Dinner) is basically another very public circle-jerk only it is  journalist, politicians and celebrities that dress up in stupidly expensive (and usually extremely ugly) clothing in order to make fun of each other, sing their own accolades, talk trash about ANYONE that doesn't agree with their extreme liberal ideology and basically attempt to shove their very narrow minded, bull shit opinions down each other’s throats…..you know, like the Oscars except for journalist!  (Except this one DOES manage to raise money for scholarships and such to help future journalist)

Notice that there is an ongoing theme with this?  Public circle-jerks where millions of dollars are being spent in order to “sing the praises” to the “talents” of today’s entertainment and journalistic world.  (Excuse me while I gargle….I just threw up a little bit by simply typing that sentence)

The “Press Gaggle” is a different type of thing.  The Press Gaggle is, according to Wikipedia, “an informal briefing by the White House Press Secretary which is on the record, but disallows videography.”  In other words, the Press Room is opened up and a bunch of “reporters” (let’s face it folks, if today’s climate of bullshit media I could legitimately call myself a reporter and I’m a hack!) rush in and wait to hear which politician took a healthy dump in the West Wing of the White House.  Yeah, the Press Gaggle is about as interesting and impressive as a two-year old’s daily potty report.  Most of what is “reported” on is basically uninteresting and unimportant, although there are times when we get some really good information from these “gaggles” but usually it’s been twisted and perverted into something that isn't even recognizable.  (Yeah, I sometimes watch the daily press things on cnn/fox/cspan whoever is running it.)  So basically, to be “banned” from an “informal briefing” is like being told that you can’t come to my garage sale.  If you cannot act like you “got some sense” I WILL put your dumb ass out of my garage so why would you expect anything less from the White House?

I guess it just pisses me off that we pay attention to this type of BULLSHIT, that we DARE to say that the Constitution guarantees that the press be allowed to cover every little fart that takes place in the governing body, that we are more focused on the opinions of millionaires who made their money by pretending to be something they are NOT than we on things that are actually taking place in the lives of everyday, NON-celebrity, NON-media covered humans.

No, I’m not talking about all the horrible things taking place in today’s society, I’m talking about things like this:

An elderly lady got caught in the wind and was clinging to a lamp post terrified when a young man in a local office spotted her, ran out and helped to her home because she was frightened that the wind would knock her down. (http://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/2070/Young-Man-Spots-Terrified-Elderly-Woman-Clinging-To-A-Lamp-Post-And-Walks-Her-Home)

Or this story:

A young couple struggling to keep things together with only one income, who dread to grocery shop because of the amount of their income it takes.  The cashier rings up the groceries and then promptly pays for half of it!!  Yup, a Walmart cashier paid for half of a customer’s groceries….ON A WALMART PAYCHECK!!!  Check it out!  http://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/2066/Mom-s-A-Mess-Trying-To-Calm-Her-Baby-Then-The-Walmart-Cashier-Inserts-Her-Personal-Credit-Card

And last but definitely NOT least, this story:

After a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis, MO was vandalized, the media, of course came out with all types of “theories”.  The President and the Vice President BOTH have voiced their opinions and The VP even went to the extent of “assisting” in the cleanup (might just be a media op, but I’ll give him a pass on this one). The biggest and most ignored story tied with this vandalized cemetery is this one, detailing how some Muslim-American activists are raising money for the repair of the almost 200 damage headstones: http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/02/22/muslims-raise-money-jewish-cemetery-headstones-vandalized 

See, despite the media wanting us to think that the entire country is going to come to an end because of who was elected President, despite the media honestly believing that the Constitution protects their “right” to poke around the White House (yeah, it doesn't, btw) and despite the celebrities believing that we ALL care what they wear (or WHO as the case may be), if they win or lose an award or what their opinions are, the average every day people that are constantly being ignored, are continuing to show the world that there are MANY, gracious, kind, loving people who care about our fellow citizens on this little blue planet.

Have a great day, y’all.  I’m off to drink my cough syrup, take my meds and rest my weary head.
