The 4Th, YAY For Our Independence!

Yes, the time of celebrating our independence is once again upon us. But how much should we really celebrate? I mean, yes we are independent. We did get away from that awful and imposing government of Brittan. But think if we would have stayed. Would it really be so bad? I mean, we have our independence, but that’s kind of like saying, well yes that 16 year old girl has her independence after the emancipation, it’s independence, but is it for the best. She’s more than likely not responsible enough to use that independence. Well that’s probably a bad example, because at fist, when our country was just a baby, we did things pretty well. I agree with most of what the United States of America was about. But that was ever so long ago. The “New America” is nothing to celebrate in my opinion. It’s nothing like the U.S.A. I read about in text books. There is very little freedom, actually in many ways that big (well small) country we became independent from is more free than we are.

Also, 233 years ago, if they were taxed and controlled like we are, what do you think they would have done? If they had their freedom limited as we do, what do you think they would have done. I have an idea of what they would have done. It goes to words they say, and how they talk about it being our right to change the government if it becomes corrupt. I am sure that if our founding fathers were to see this government I live in, they would agree that it is corrupt. They would stage a California Gas Party (the new age Boston Tea Party). They would wonder why this government gets all of this money and still remains broke. They would also wonder why they refuse to cut many funds that would help them get out of this vast debt that it has allowed its self to be in. They would also wonder why other funds were being cut, funs that are beneficial to the majority…I mean after all, if this were just 60 years ago I’m willing to bet the red hunters would suspect every member of the California Government. Oh, I would love to see those trials!

So, back to the point. When you are celebrating our independence, just stop to think, is this something to celebrate right now? Shouldn’t we be morning the death of what America was?

So Very Disappointed

On Friday I got the new iPhone 3G S. That’s not what I’m disappointed about though. On my $299.00 phone I payed $64.66 in tax. Yes CA tax at 9.25% on $299.00 is $64.66. Okay, so if you’re any good at math, you’ll know right away that $64.66 isn’t 9.25% tax for $299.00. Well because I live is one of the worst states to live in (in a being governed way) I had to pay tax on the bit I didn’t pay for. Yeah doesn’t work out in my mind either.

It seems more and more that CA robs, hustles, steels, or takes by some sneaky method as much money from me as they can get. What do I get for this extra coinage I’m putting into CA very tattered pocket, you might ask? Well for starters I get my federal rights violated. But it’s okay in their mind because they also break federal laws in your benefit too…like the card that lets you legally have weed in CA, but if the FBI stops you, you can still get arrested. Also, I have the “Law Enforcement Officers” (I use the quotes because the only laws they enforce are the ones CA can get money for) following me, stopping me, hassling me, and ticketing me (yes even when I didn’t break the law) as much as possible. I get less and less freedom every day. There are many other things, but I think you get my point.

Basically CA is like the homeless person that follows you begging for money, and once he/she gets money, he/she goes and buys drugs then wonders why he/she doesn’t have money any more. I personally think it’s time for an intervention on CA. But I think it’ll have to be in the form of a revolution. I know some will say just move, but I’m an American damn it! It’s my right as a citizen to make this government right! I want to turn this back to a free place to live, not this socialist police state I currently live in. CA has some beautiful land, there’s mountains right next to the beach, nice roads, and it’s big enough that you don’t have to leave it to take a vacation. I would rather make this place right, than to just move.

The Car That Should Have Never Been Made

In the “Car World” there are often cars that we think should have never existed. Up until now almost all of these were built under Communist rule, or from those Brits (who we have to prove we’re better than just b/c we’re that rebelous teenager that moved out). For example, the ones from the U.S.S.R. who thought it would be good to have a car made out of leather, or cars that just didn’t work…they also had cars that worked…once. Or any British Leyland car. Although it’s not the U.K.’s fault, even when they were a bunch of commies they didn’t spend any time working to build the cars.

More recently, however, most of these cars that should have never been made have come from parts of Asia and the Pacific Rim. Mainly because they build a car, for way too cheep, and the parts cost too much when they break, and they will, and on top of that the car was designed by the same guy who designed your microwave. Well, there is another car to add to this, frankly a very large list, of new cars that should have never been made. This one, unfortunately, is from the U.S.

That’s right folks, we have the newest in this long line crappy new cars that should have never been made. I think I’ve finally found a new hippy car I dislike more than the Prius (how can I not hate that car, it’s a poser car for people who want to look like they care about the environment, when they’ve actually just done it more harm in a year than I’ve probably done in 4). This car is called the SPIRA (http://spira4u.com/index.html ). Even it’s slogan pisses me off, “SOFT – SAFE – SEXY.” It’s only one of those things…soft. I know this because it’s made out of foam. Yeah, I said foam….it’s made out of foam. And don’t think it doesn’t look like it is. Honestly it looks like a 4 year-old designed this thing, and it should, because it’s made from what the 4 year-old would use to design a car, FOAM!!! It has a 100cc scooter engine in it and says it goes 70mph. I don’t know if I would trust doing 70mph in a foam car that you can pick up with your hands.

I’m the type of guy who wants a car to get around in. Weather this is to get around as fast as I can, or as comfortably as I can, it’s to get around in. I should enjoy getting around in what ever car I’m in. This car wasn’t designed to enjoy. This car was designed to hit someone and the person you hit not to be harmed. Sorry, but I’m actually a good driver, and don’t run around hitting people…well if I do it’s intended. Basically, if you’re going to try to improve on something, get off the car thing. I’m willing to bet we’ve hit the best we’re going to do on that due to laws and all the other crap preventing us from improving this. If you want to improve on something…go for the jet packs. This guy (http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/crazy-man-in-peroxide-jetpack-makes-guinness-world-record-attemp/#continued ) just set a new record over the weekend of 68mph. That’s a fine speed to cruze around at. Maybe if it had a longer range we could all have them. That way we can keep the foam where it belongs…a child’s play area!

Confused If Pregnancy “Ruins” Your Life

Since when did having a kid become a bad thing? I keep seeing these commercials showing someone’s life and at the end he/she says this is my life, I’m not going to ruin it with a pregnancy. I understand that children having children before they’re half grown having habits like rabbits and young of their own (Oscar Brown Jr. said something like that) is not the best thing, and it’s so frowned upon in this society. The same society that encouraged it in its beginning. I just don’t understand why we would look at having a kid so negatively. I know we are at the top of the food chain and because of that…and a few other things, we are needing population control. But I don’t see how a kid will ruin your life. It will change it. But is ruin the best word?

Honestly, I don’t know where I’m going with this…I just wanted to put it out there. I’m kind of confused about it.

Put That In Your Electric Pipe and Smoke It

In lieu of someone commenting that he/she actually reads my blog, I figure I should do another entry.

I recently got an electric pipe. I have had a tobacco pipe for sometime now and I feel I don’t get to smoke it enough. I live in Cali, which is hell bent on everyone having no freedom and that includes smoking any tobacco, but weed is okay. I do like smoking a pipe though, and I haven’t really cared what Cali thinks, but I do want to “smoke” it more. When my parents got the e-cigarette for a good price, I decided to look them up. Not because I’m addicted to smoking, but because when I hang out with smokers it’s easier to have something in my hand, and I don’t like smoking cigarettes. The e-cigs have cartridges that don’t have nicotine and have flavors. I really like smoking flavors (probably why I like hookah so much). Basically it’s not smoking, there’s some electronic process that takes this cartridge and turns it into water vapor that has the flavor and nicotine in it. It almost feels like smoking, actually sometimes it feels just like smoking, but with out the bad stuff. Yay, I’m finally doing something healthy 

In the search for a cheep e-cig I came across an e-pipe. I figure I’d like that more so I started trying to find one that I liked. I wound up getting it from a place in the UK. Shipping took a little while…and I got the currency backwards, and forgot that the UK has a different power outlet than we do. Anyway, I got it and it’s really nice. It uses these cartridges that have flavors (I need to find a flavor that I really like though) and a little bit of nicotine. There is even a light for when you smoke.

The first night I took it out somewhere I went to a party. Didn’t really intend to go to a party that night, but it was cool. I was dressed for going out, even had a vest on so it worked with the pipe. Before I walk into the party I get this group complementing me on my pipe. I’m like, sweet! Then I get into the party, the place is just like a club…but in a small apartment, and people start saying how they love the pipe. I’m all smoking it and dancing and having a good time. The next day I realized that I can have too much of that pipe, but was still fun.

I’m going to Florida tomorrow, and plan to have it on the airplane with me. I mean why not, it’s not actually smoking. It looks like I’m smoking because water vapor comes out. It’s legal, as far as I know, to have it on the airplane…and inside, and where ever the hell I want it.

It’s Hard

I had to go to work today. That is what is hard. After the weekend I had, to go to a boring desk job and push papers, that shouldn’t be felt by anyone. I can imagine how superman feels when he has to go back to work as Clark.

I had a really good weekend. It was a three day weekend…eh well three and a half because I left work early on Friday to go to Ontario (the one in Cali…you don’t think I’d actually go to Canada did you>). You might think, what kind of fun can I have in Ontario. Well fun like a rock star. I felt like a rock star this weekend…felt, acted, looked like, was treated like a rock star. I partied the whole weekend, maybe got eight hours of sleep the whole time from when I woke up on Friday until I went to bed on Monday, but I doubt it was that much. I loved it! So much so that going to bed a little after midnight felt wrong and weird. Like I should be out parting, getting kicked out of another hotel room after getting shutting down every place that is open to party. I looked in my room and wondered why I didn’t have 75 people in it all sining and drinking. I was looking for the girl. But none of that happened last night. The party was, sadly, over.

I woke up this morning, got ready for work, then went to work… early even because I wasn’t use to getting the almost 7 hours of sleep I got. When I got to work, it was just boring business as usual. I don’t know how I got through the day. I was still thinking I need to be parting…something…something other than this.

Every once in a while I feel like I party like a rockstar. This past weekend it was more than feeling like I did. I did party like a rock star. The only way I could have partied more like a rock star would have been if I threw a TV out the window into the pool, or drove a Rolls into a pond. I did try the tv thing though, but it was bolted down, and I couldn’t find a lead long enough to keep it working until it would hit the water.

As far as girls went, yeah, I love girls, and it showed. I was able to spend some time with some of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever seen. Even met one I didn’t think would exist.

In my conversation with friends today…friends who were there over this weekend anyway, we talked about how we’re still in that party mood. We still have that rush going on. I feel weird sitting in my room right now actually. For the first time in a while, I just did what I want, when I wanted to do it. I didn’t have to drive home so I could drink. I didn’t have anywhere to be but where I already was the next day. So I stayed late…eh early…what ever you call getting back at 6 a.m. to wind down with some hookah and more drinks with just a few friends. Then go to bed around 7:30-8:00 a.m. only to be woken up at 9 a.m. to do it all over again.

I haven’t blogged in a while, so I figure I’d put something up. BTW if you’re reading this and I got your number between February 2008 and January 2009 I probably lost your number because the stupid iPhone sucks and iTunes screws it up.

Here’s hoping this weekend will be some parting…I know marti gras is coming up…maybe it’s time for another party .

The Revolution Has Been Televised

Yes, that’s right. Today, 01/20/09, the revolution has been televised. You were able to stay home and turn on. There were no commercials for you to skip out and grab a beer (although it was brought to you by Audi), because this was too important of a revolution.

By this, I mean, the Presidential inauguration. Obama is now officially the president of the U.S.A. …the leader of the free world. He delivered a very good speech (which he often does), and I hope he can follow through with what he says.

Even if he is not a great president, it is still a revelatory time for the U.S. He’s the first president, from what I can gather, that comes from a broken home, not to mention he’s got some black in him.

After our last president really made a mess out of things, I hope this president can truly right most of the wrongs. Watching this inauguration on TV, and seeing how many people came out to see it in person, I was truly amazed. There has been a renewed since of pride in America, and it is very evident today. This coupled with our new president’s revelatory words, shows that America is in need of a change and we are ready for it.

I’m Dreaming Of A White Christmas

Although, my dream of a white Christmas is probably different than most.  When most people think of a white Christmas, they think of the snow and sledding through the woods.  Maybe, cuddling up next to the warm fire with a loved one.  That’s not even close to my dream.  My dream of a white Christmas is the white sandy beaches.   Lying out on a hammock…with a loved one would be nice, but I seem to always lack that this time of year.  A nice drink in my hand and getting a tan under the warm sun.  Going skim boarding or surfing, then to a tiki hut for drinks before dinner.  After dinner going to a club…a real club, not the crap we have in LA, until the sun comes up.

It would also be nice seeing some old friends from Florida.  I’ve been really home sick for the past, well, over a year now.  I haven’t gone back in a while and I’m starting to feel that I only have good memories from there and lost the bad.  Also, I know because it’s been so long since I’ve been back, every thing has changed.  Nothing is going to be how I remember it.  Moving is like breaking up with a girl that you love.  You still love her years later, but when you see her again, she’s lived her life and you’ve lived yours and now you two don’t have the things in common as you once had.

Tis The Season

Yes that’s right, another “holiday season” is upon us.  Wait, why was I just politically correct, I’m not a “PC” person.  One more time.

 

Yes that’s right another Christmas season is upon us.  It’s easy to spot this season.  Just look in the news paper and you can see how people were shot and killed at a store…oh, let’s not forget the guy who was trampled in a Walmart.  Yes, the Christmas season is here!

Now we just wait for the giant battle between Jesus and Santa to see who really is the true king of Christmas.  Jesus has the name advantage, I mean you can’t spell Christmas with out Christ.  But with people dying over $5.00 off some pointless thing, I’m guessing Santa will win.

If you can’t tell Christmas isn’t my favorite holiday.  This the season for suicides (last I checked there are more suicides during Christmas time than any other time).  People pretend to be happy, but it’s like being drunk, once you sober up you just wind up withe more problems.  Also, more people ask for money or other things from me.  Well I don’t really have a heart, so I don’t even want to give them some around Christmas.  I mean, why should a holiday change what I do.  I am who I am…like Popeye.

Also, I’m tired of people trying to tell my how Christian this holiday is.  When the only reason it is Christian is so they could get Pagans to convert.  It’s kinda like if you adopt a kid, changing his/her birthday to the month that no one else’s birthday is, just to have something to do.  Actually it’s not really like that, but it’s my blog and I’ll use what I want to use to try to convey my feelings about something.

I Got A New Tattoo!

Yes kids, I finally got the tattoo I’ve been talking about getting for the past few months.  It’s of an Ouroboros, the serpent eating its tail.  I had it done using UV ink, also known as black light ink.  It’s the white color, so hopefully after it heals it won’t be seen in normal light, only in UV or black light.  It was done by Nero at a tattoo shop in the Valley, on Ventura by Reseda. So far I love it, it still needs to heal though, because my parents don’t know about it, and I plan to keep it that way .
