A few things I have seen/experienced/curioius about lately, but have had no time or motivation to expand upon. When life gets busy and chaotic, the blogging is pretty much the first thing to go...

1. Earlier today I observed a scene that makes me both laugh, shake my head, and question the nature of the human population in the south. As I drove home from McDonalds (don't give me that look, I bought an unsweet tea and watched my kid play in the AC'd playplace) I was graced with a sight from my neighbors that literally urged me to such a rubbernecking double-take that I almost ran off the road: in the most torn up lawn chairs you could imagine -- ass sinking through the bottom from massive rump size coupled with torn plastic support fibers... a family (at least 8, from infant to geriatric) parked in the middle of their driveway, smoking cigarettes, sipping a beverage from a paper bag, and watchign the young ones run around without shoes on.

No joke.

This wouldn't be so damn bizarre and insane if it wasn't nearly 100 degrees here today with UNGODLY humidity. What is it with the south and these kinds of ass backward sights? I wish I could say I don't see this all the time, but I do. What would possess you to take your small baby and 80 year old Grandpa BillyJack out into the Georgia heat on such a humid, hot, and generally horrid day?



I'll never quite fit in here,...thankfully.

2.This country is GAY.

Can't you feel it? I can... after all, it IS the offical moth to celebrate gayness.


Thank you, Obama, for giving sexuality preference an entire months celebration. Gay indeed. Ridiculous beyond measure, honestly.

I'm not "proud" to be straight. It's not a decision I make, nor do those who like goodies the same as their own. Like nationalistic 'pride', it makes not a damn bit of sense. It's like being 'proud your second toe is longer than your first; you don't get a flippin say in the matter, so accept it, find contentment, and spare us the parade of 'uniqueness'. You're special, just like everyone else.

I officially nominate August as mutant long second toe month, in honor of the nonsensical holiday designation this country has gotten crazed with.. and my toe. George Carling says it best...



3. I've been trying to watch my diet lately. It has really brought to my attention how deceptive marketing is.

For lunch today, I warmed up a low fat microwave lasagna meal. On the cover, a delicious cheesy culinary prize. The result after peeling back the cover was quite the opposite.... a small pile of vomit sprinkled with cheese.  Definitely not worth the 250 calories and fighting of the gag reflex I had to be troubled with.


It's a consistant thing in life... what you buy is never quite what you get.

4. Did you know there are creatures that produce spermies bigger than they are? Craziness. "Fruit flies are a just a few millimeters long, but their sperm are 6 cm long. To top that, a human male would have to shoot out sperm that are up to 60 meters long."




5. TOmorrow is fathers day... and I'll definitely be showing appreciation to the person who helped me to produce and raise the best thing I'll ever have in my life: my boy. To deadbeat dads: you are scum and can sit and spin until you decide to pull your head out and live up to your responsibilities.


MANY MANY kudos who didn't bail on thier kids.

Anyway, on that note.... I could use a bit of tips from mommies and daddies who have had to deal with potty training. I am more frustrated than an legless ethiopian watching a doghnut rolling down a hill. Honestly.
