Freedom, One Day

Fuck! Humboldt California still isn't even FREE, which (I think) means nowhere in America is!!

Have you had your home broken into by PIGS (Eureka PD mixed with Humboldt County Drug Task Force), while you are sleeping, several hand guns and multiple assault rifles of some sort (I'm no gun man, but I'm fairly sure they were AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLES) pointed in your face, hand-cuffed (half-naked), in front of your toddler, because you are trying to enjoy your little bit of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness while harming no one? I have, (in Eureka, CA just over a year ago) because a (wealthy, right-wing, prick) neighbor called the police and made a false report of Marijuana dealing when they didn't like the look of a couple of our hippie-type friends who had come to visit for a few days as they traveled through.

Have you had your home broken into, robbed, and ransacked by burglars only to come home to find out that 1/3 of the mess was made by the investigating officers, who could really care less about you, or recovering your stuff, because they know you use marijuana? Unfortunately, I have when we moved to Arcata to get away from Eureka. (Although, I do still like many things about living in Arcata, despite that fucked up situation.)

This is supposed to be the Land of the Free, One Nation (under God), Indivisible, and With Liberty and Justice for All...? So God is just an Oil-Loving, Nature-Hating Sadist who enjoys the harassment/incarceration of (and division of) his own people for trying to enjoy some of that Freedom, Liberty, and Justice they are supposed to get?

Also: Have any of you Drug-War Mongers (or any of you that they have Duped) ever stopped to think that the paranoid and schizophrenic behaviors supposedly associated with pot are actually just us smokers wondering when some asshole division of our government (that the Duped-Ones support) is going to kick down our doors, take us to jail, and/or attempt to sabotage our lives in some bogus witch-hunt!?

Man, it sure would be nice to experience TRUE freedom! (And by the way: YES, I AM very grateful for all the freedom I DO have!)

Travel Updates

Well, there is good news and probably bad news for us here.

First the good news:
It's been almost a year now since we ventured out to visit all you wonderful people we miss back in Utah. Luckily we got to see many of you at the wedding at least. Either way, it's been too long since we've seen our friends and family (if not Utah!).

Anyway, it won't be long now until we're calling you up to let you know we're coming to town. (Since we don't know the exact days we'll be there yet ourselves, and I like surprises.)

We're hoping to get to see as many of you as we can in the time we'll be there. We can't wait to show Aviendha to you all! Hopefully the weather will be good for driving and folfing (fuck it, we'll play anyway)!

Unfortunately, there is the bad news that is extremely disappointing to us! :(
Despite all my efforts, I haven't been able to pull off any of my plans (so far...but time is getting short now) to visit our great friends Jory and Joey in Phoenix!!

We were really hoping to try and get in a visit to you two (even for just a day/day and a half) before the heat sets in! We can't wait to see you two again! I've been waiting to call you lately with an update until I had solid info. Unfortunately nothing ever solidified... I'll give you a call in the next few days and let you know what's happening and see how you all are (besides the obvious from our blogs...) p.s. Have you checked out my more positive blog yet? I decided I needed somewhere to write that wasn't just the rants.


That's all for now. We'll be in touch with everyone soon.
We hope everything is going well for you all!

Late, As Usual

Yes, I know. I just made my drunken posts and comments recently, but Athena and I cut a little loose tonight and now I'm good and intoxicated! ;)
So here comes the next Great White enhanced rant!
LOL, this will be almost as fun for me to read tomorrow as for you (as long as I haven't offended anyone I care about too much!).

Ah FUCK! I hate the claustrophobic sensation I get when I think of trying to do the RIGHT thing in a fucking society that is SO hell-bent on KAMIKAZE CONSUMERISM and GREEDY CAPITALISM!

How much is your TIME really worth to you!?

Does anyone really need to work as many hours as they do, just to make someone else rich?

How long will it take us to figure out that we are really only wasting ourselves (let alone our fellow man) by thinking we all need to BUY into a system that could care less about INDIVIDUALS?

Where did we lose track of the FUCKING OBVIOUS? How the fuck did we really end up so far from any COMMON SENSE, let alone the FREEDOM this country was supposed to be founded on? (Unfortunately I think I now know/speculate much of that nightmarish debacle.)

Why are we just rushing faster and faster to see what the planet will be like with all of it's resources depleted or completely FUBU (fucked up beyond usability)!?

Does anyone even occasionally consider where the FUCK all our garbage REALLY goes? All our waste products? All that OLD SHIT/NEW SHIT that we all thought/think we needed/need to make us happy or distract us?


Haha, I just noticed I never posted this and had saved it instead. Well, it is what it is, and I'll post it now...unedited. ;)

New Fiction

I've got a few more items of my old fiction up at the Imagination Station if you'd like to check them out. The link is on the right.

Evil Fucks Who Need To Die

The hateful, crazy fucks that perpetrate this shit anger me to speechlessness.
What the FUCK is wrong with people, man!? Nice that there's a positive side to the story. I'll bold the negative crap, though, to show you what I'm talking about.
Read On if you'd like...

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (Feb. 21) - Wearing vests covered in military patches, a band of motorcyclists rolls around the country from one soldier's funeral to another, cheering respectfully to overshadow jeers from church protesters.

They call themselves the Patriot Guard Riders, and they are more than 5,000 strong, forming to counter anti-gay protests held by the Rev. Fred Phelps at military funerals.

Phelps believes American deaths in Iraq are divine punishment for a country that he says harbors homosexuals. His protesters carry signs thanking God for so-called IEDs -- explosives that are a major killer of soldiers in Iraq.

The bikers shield the families of dead soldiers from the protesters, and overshadow the jeers with patriotic chants and a sea of red, white and blue flags.

"The most important thing we can do is let families know that the nation cares," said Don Woodrick, the group's Kentucky captain. "When a total stranger gets on a motorcycle in the middle of winter and drives 300 miles to hold a flag, that makes a powerful statement."

At least 14 states are considering laws aimed at the funeral protesters, who at a recent memorial service at Fort Campbell wrapped themselves in upside-down American flags. They danced and sang impromptu songs peppered with vulgarities that condemned homosexuals and soldiers.

The Patriot Guard was also there, waving up a ruckus of support for the families across the street. Community members came in the freezing rain to chant "U-S-A, U-S-A" alongside them."

Shirley Phelps-Roper, a daughter of Fred Phelps and an attorney for the Topeka, Kan.-based church, said neither state laws nor the Patriot Guard can silence their message that God killed the soldiers because they fought for a country that embraces homosexuals.

"The scriptures are crystal clear that when God sets out to punish a nation, it is with the sword. An IED is just a broken-up sword," Phelps-Roper said. "Since that is his weapon of choice, our forum of choice has got to be a dead soldier's funeral."

During the 1990s, church members were known mostly for picketing the funerals of AIDS victims, and they have long been tracked as a hate group by the Montgomery, Ala.-based Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project.

The project's deputy director, Heidi Beirich, said other groups have tried to counter Phelps' message, but none has been as organized as the Patriot Guard.

"I'm not sure anybody has gone to this length to stand in solidarity," she said. "It's nice that these veterans and their supporters are trying to do something. I can't imagine anything worse, your loved one is killed in Iraq and you've got to deal with Fred Phelps."

Ports, AIDS, Classified, & Adults

After hearing about Bush and his cronies trying to sell out our eastern ports, the first thing I told Athena was something like: "I wonder how the Mafia is going to feel about Bush and the UAE using their extensive resources to show them how to really run illegal port operations!"

This administration is like AIDS to our country! They've disabled our immune system (never that strong to begin) with their across the board deregulation blitzkrieg. All that is left to stop or even slow them (now that the Supreme Court is a joke) is our nearly spineless, sold-out, "right-wing" Congress! Our last defense (save cash, attorneys, etc.) is Congress, and even individual, rough anal-penetration by this administration causes only minor reaction that I can see.

Also, it's great now how any time anyone in this fucking administration gets asked a real question that they can't find any other sleazy way out of; their response is invariably: "It's classified."

What a fucking mess it's going to be for the "adults" (who will have to show up some day) to clean up after these childish, fucking pigs that have run our country and their lazy, bastard constituents! What a nightmarish time to become an adult!

Oh yeah

Don't forget to check the new links: Imagination Station for my works of fiction and Spiral Out for my non-rant (usually) writings. There are a few things up on those blogs thus far.

Back to the Ranting

Ok, I'm back from the blogging dead zone. It's hard to rant when you have such a beautiful little girl smiling at you all the time!! Here are some of the rants that you've missed and some of my thoughts that are comments on other blogs (mostly Jory's) since I've been on hiatus.

I should point out that from here on out this blog will probably be more flagrant (as I'm more fed up with stupid shit than ever, and if Jory hasn't been shipped off to Git-less yet, I should be ok...hopefully!). Check out my Spiral Out link if you're looking for stuff that might be less flagrant...maybe.

This administration has proven that they are nothing but lying, conniving fucks who are hell-bent on subverting personal liberty, re-structuring checks and balances, ruining our relations with the world, and destroying our environment for PROFITS for themselves and anyone who will sell out with them!!

Also, screw the Supreme Court in their decrepit old asses with rusty rail spikes. I officially gave up on those pussies after they flaked out on their chance at making any positive changes in the Marijuana issue. And now it's only going to get worse.

Our government and our "democracy" have failed and most people don't know or care as long as capitalism remains intact.

I expected the usual bull-shit rhetoric from the bushman this state of the union, but trying to sabotage my Mannimals!?! He can't get away with sand-bagging a family of the revolution that way! ;)
Oh, I guess he might have meant manimals... LOL

Well, I'm still hearing new jokes, bits, routines, etc. involving my comedic reference to the Hitler Mustache. I fucking missed the boat on that one! There's many times I imagine that maybe if Tom, Jory, and I had made some sort of effort to get our views, rants, and comedic stylings out to the people; we'd probably be wealthy and famous since much of the material was great and at least a little ahead of it's time. : )

I have a new book suggestion (don't forget Crimes Against Nature, Robert Kennedy Jr.!). I just read, "High In America: The True Story behind NORML and the Politics of Marijuana" by Patrick Anderson. I really like the feel of the portrayal he's giving. It's hard to say how true it is, but it seems to me to be highly probable. I'd recommend that anyone who knows, cares, or wants to get a good history lesson on Marijuana in America, American legal and justice systems and practices (especially about Marijuana), and Marijuana politics should read this book!
It's just too bad so many people thought that cocaine was safe like Marijuana. : (

Marijuana will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no marijuana." quote from unknown source

Fuck these marijuana commercials irritate me! Every time I have to see some moronic commercial tell me I'll be letting my kids drown or I'm funding terrorism because I enjoy smoking (let alone smoke medicinally) it makes me furious! It makes a person want to wage war back when an unfounded and evil war is waged upon them! ("RAMMING SPEED! Perhaps today is a good day to die!" right Jory!?) *There go the red flags for my blog now that I've mentioned terrorism and marijuana both in the same sentence!*

What a fucking sham drug companies, doctors, hospitals, insurance, and health care are on so many levels! If you need any facts defining my point just ask! As has been said before, "I got a million of em!"

So a bit for a sketch show occurred to me the other day: Religious figures (from God on down) in all sort of different scenarios. It could also be done as a short story job, I suppose. Things like (and this is the part I haven't thought out as well): God at the moment his beings (created in his image) started killing each other, Jesus at Woodstock, Mohammed at a Rave, Buddha at Fat-Camp, etc. Knock that around your brains and see what you think/come up with! :)

How far of a stretch is this?: Your "good friend" Poop-Dick Cheney (Jory has rekindled my enjoyment for good names, lol) shoots you for some conspiracy-laden reason. Now he tells you he's left you alive out of friendship but you better not make a fucking peep! Ouch! I mean, Jory has tagged me with a folf disc, but that was NOT A GUN, clearly my fault, and I'm not 78!

The majority of our Media in this country seems to be a bunch of spoon-fed, blow-hard, time-wasting, un-investigative, too-little if not just too-late buffoons. I really can't believe anyone even bothers showing up for white house press conferences any more! Maybe those pussies should take a tip from the paparazzi on how to do some fucking investigative journalism and really dig for a real answer for once!

After a year or more of REALLY starting to pay attention to the environmental issues I now am beginning to picture people who don't care about the environment to be the same people who might enjoy just taking a fucking dump in their own kitchens, showers, and/or beds! [Myself in the past included (even though I was never overtly disrespectful to nature)]. Let's all try to start to educate ourselves a little more about our actions and their consequences in nature; for ourselves and future generations, please!

If we're ever able to finally leave the U.S. on a vacation, our family is going to have to master some foreign accent so the locals don't take us for American Asshole Fools!

LOL, did you got your Rant fix!? I hope this one was potent for you since I've been M.I.A. for so long!

Peace
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

New Links

Yes, I'm still alive. ;) Unfortunately I'm still working on my comeback post here, but I do have two new links. "Spiral Out..." and "The Imagination Station". Check them out if you'd like. And don't worry, my new post here really is coming soon.

SSDD

The current news is just so much more of the same old depressing shit. Sorry I haven't posted as quickly as I'd like, but I've been enjoying Aviendha and my family and the positive stuff at our house. I have been keeping notes, though and I will be making a post here soon.
There are new pictures up on the family site to show some of January to keep you entertained until I get my new post up.
