Housing Crisis - Explained.....here's why.....





thought of the day

Socialist Revolution.....unarmed?

I keep thinking of the douchebag in the former post, and I realized one thing: Their goals can only be accomplished through force and coercion.  The man that communism and socialism was designed for....doesn't exist.  Humans have individual needs and wants.  And amidst the talk of equality - who is she or anyone else to say what we can or can't have?   Not only that - unless we are unarmed and have the means to protect ourselves....she can never achieve her goals.  Ever.  Because we have means to fight back....

Just a thought....or a few thoughts....so - here's some quotes on guns:

1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

3. Colt: The original point and click interface.

4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?

6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.

7. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

8. If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.

9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

10. The United States Constitution (c)1791. All Rights Reserved.

11. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you not understand?

12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.

13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians.

15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

17. 911: Government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.
18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

19. Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer.

20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.

22. You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.

23. Enforce the gun control laws we ALREADY have; don't make more.

24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

One World Government - coming to a neighborhood near.....everywhere!

Just another idiot who needs to be duct taped, gagged and thrown in a ditch and covered - the sewage that comes out of her mouth would be very pleasing to the nationalist socialists or any marxist who started a revolution by killing millions in the name of peace....

What she doesn't realize - because she's too stupid obviously - clearly mentally unstable - is our system CAN provide anything - it's the corrupt unions and government agencies that keep us from being able to provide it all to everyone because they take it from people while claiming they need more and then blaming the capitalists for the problems they cause. Actually - duct taping her mouth would be a waste of tape....just bury her.

Bury her before her ideas grab hold and we can't manufacture the duct tape to tape her up with or the shovels to bury her with.....

WHITE MALE SCHOLARSHIPS! In Texas!

Yes - white men are under represented in society.  I don't know of a single scholarship I can get based on my race.

Any other race?  Go for it!   But, yes, there is a white-male-scholarship now!  And in Texas of all places: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1361139/Texas-group-launches-scholarship-white-men-ONLY--need-equal-shot.html

This is where I think the "minorities" got sold a boat load of crap.    Told they are "equal" and therefore need special treatment because they simply don't have what it takes to succeed and won't ever be successful without a crutch or special treatment.

I don't think all "minorities" buy into the race crap though.  In fact, most of my friends who are not white in this country realize just how much a load of crap the race movement is.  I don't know a single one of them who feels "inferior" to white people because of simply their color.  My friends who aren't white are very capable individuals and it's not because of or despite their skin color.  Actually - in one form or another I think they are all more successful than I am.

Family Secrets.....

Yet another late-night, gratuitous, unoriginal but funny-to-me autocorrect fail - nothing like discussing the large matters in life over text.

More Thoughts On Home Schooling & Socialization.....

In regards to the post from yesterday on when to rely on experts and when to trust our gut - I thought I'd comment on home-schooling this morning in regards to a thought I had while watching a family movie on TV that my daughter loves as I got ready for church. 

Our children are home-schooled by my wife.   I went to a public school.  My wife did half and half of public and home.  I think that rounds us out as a family in order to have a good discussion about it.

The number one concern people express to us is "what about socialization?" in terms of children being home schooled.

What about socialization?

I know I've commented on it before but I thought I'd ask....what socialization do we see in school that is so superior to children being raised in a healthy and loving family?

Where is it?

When I look at teens and children, where are the role models today?   Peers who look to media on sex and morals and who's parents aren't in their lives either?

What kind of a recipe for character development is that?

I drove by Tualatin High School yesterday - or the day before - scoping out the swimming pool for work activities.  I saw a sign hanging up in the main entrance above everything that said "EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!"

break room
I laughed.  Who takes those seriously?  Why should I? If I'm in school - why should I exceed someone else's expectations? Why?  How about "lower expectations" so it's easier to achieve them?

I just - I hate the slogans that are supposed to motivate you - but really just is a means to keep me from troubling someone else but really aren't about my life in any depth - the kind you see about teamwork in crappy breakrooms at crappy jobs everywhere.

At any rate, the family really is the best means of support - for contrast I've compared a break room with a family room in terms of support and wholesomeness - realizing that both of these are someone's idea of what we need for support and sustainence to help us become and do what we care capable of - I see the difference....and that's why I think home-schooling is better because the support and recognition are better.

family room

Thanks to my wife for pushing this with me and being able to show me this is better and she can do a better job!  Our kids deserve it.

How a Taser Feels....

This was an entertaining story found at random on the net on what it's like being tasered....

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.

I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.??

AWESOME!!!?

Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.??

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right?! !??

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong???

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another.

The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.? ? All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!"??

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...? ? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one- second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button,?and??

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!??

I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner , then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again.

I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs?

The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again, stupid, do it again!"??

Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself!

You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.

A three-second burst would be considered conservative??

SON-OF-A-... That hurt like **% !!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they get up there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles! I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!! Still in shock!!

P. S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!?

"If you think Education is difficult, try being stupid."

Text Message From Teacher....

Dear Students,
I know when you're texting.
Sincerely, no one just looks down at their crotch and smiles. 

HEAR NOW: The News! (Or - SEE NOW: Some Gifs!)

I really don't have a whole hell of a lot to say on our government, it's corrupt, local issues are so common sense as to be stupid....so I am still doing humor or just amusement a lot lately.  UNLESS....you count the wisdom and knowledge gained from watching the following as fitting some aspect of the mantra of Simplybecauseitis.  I dunno...I'll leave it up to you to decide....

I've felt this way before....

Texting with parents...

Some of this is racey - but then - you know being a parent - you get to that point where you're finally like "whatever" and just say "here ya go..."






Mile Long....UFO? Or a dirty lens?

Impeach Obama.......no really!

Obama campaigned for the Defense of Marriage act, swore an oath on the bible to uphold the laws of America and now is saying that he's not going to protect the defense of marriage act or try to defend against those who break the law because he doesn't like it - impeachable offense?  I certainly believe so!

A Rabbit is bounding through the woods.....Joke of the Day....


A little rabbit is happily running through the forest when he stumbles upon a giraffe rolling a joint. The rabbit looks at her and says,”Giraffe my friend, why do you do this? Come with me running through the forest, you’ll see, you’ll feel so much better!”
The giraffe looks at him, looks at the joint, tosses it and goes off running with the rabbit.

Then they come across an elephant doing coke, so the rabbit again says, “Elephant my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health! Come running with us through the pretty forest, you’ll see, you’ll feel so good!”
The elephant looks at them, looks at his razor, mirror and all, then tosses them and starts running with the rabbit and giraffe.

The three animals then come across a lion about to shoot up heroin…”Lion my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health! Come running with us through the sunny forest, you will feel so good!”
The lion looks at him, puts down his needle, and starts to beat the crap out of the little rabbit.

The giraffe and elephant watch in horror, and ask him “Lion, why did you do this? He was merely trying to help us all!”

The lion answers, “Every time he’s on Ecstasy that little sucker makes me run around the forest like an idiot for hours!”

Tune of the Day: The Ghost Inside - Broken Bells


 Another tune I heard today but this time on the radio in my office late at night. Catchy funky tune. Something I might toke to....if I did drugs....maybe I'll start....because of this song. And then sue them for ruining my life. I live in Oregon - we got like the world's largest marijuana trade here!  In fact the largest marijuana bust in world history (at one point anyways) came from behind my girlfriend's house.....behind....my girlfriend's.....house......wait a minute.    

Anyways....I hear we have the best weed in the world.....hmmmm......brb gonna run to 7/11 to....buy some stuff....yeah....."stuff".....

Okay - I'm back....and got the munchies.....


She sold her love to a modern man
Cause solid currency's the hardest to love
All other modern hels you cover your eye
Don't let the lady finger blow in your hat
Di-da

Feel like a daughter
She's like a star tonight
Without wanting
She gave up
The ghost inside

Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor
She got no future, just a love to endure
This gives some matter to shaking her hide
'Too late to leave him' are the songs in her car
Di-di-da

Feel like a daughter
She's like a star tonight
Without wanting
She gave up
The ghost inside
They call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder what it had to move on
This phony article
That put you on the floor
A double standard
Here we look when we walk

Feel like a daughter
She's like a star tonight
Without wanting
She gave up
The ghost inside

Was it all for show?
To turn into all of them
Turning a page
Trust me darlin'
I'm carving 'em up through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble just to sound me out
Tend to wonder why?


WU WUUUUUUUU! Rep Wu to step down?

Not that I want the guy to have a mental breakdown - but - if we lose a democrat - that works for me - lousy way to go - but - something's up with this guy: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20110224/D9LIRASG0.html

Course - I knew something was up before he started to crack up....allegations of rape don't "just happen" and aren't a "misunderstanding."

Unhappy? Here's someone who wasn't to be where they were....

Whenever I’m disappointed with my spot in my life, I stop and think about little James Scott.
James was trying out for a part in a school play. His mother told me that he’d set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. James rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.
 “Guess what Mom,” he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me: “I’ve been chosen to clap and cheer!”

PERIOD!

It's late (early) - snowing outside - unusual for the Willamette Valley - and I'm tired - not sure if this is funny or not.  Maybe I'll delete it in the morning.  Either way - I chortled and guffawed at a young boy being so proud as to put this on a chalkboard.




A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day.

When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy called upon walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down.

Puzzled, the teacher asked him just what it was.

"It's a period," said the little boy.

"Well, I can see that," she said, "but what is so exciting about a period?"

"Darned if I know," said the little boy, "but this morning my sister was missing one, Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted, and the man next door shot himself."

The Aviator.....

I'm up for a massive promotion at work - if I get it - I'm going to go get my sport pilot license.   I always loved aviation - there's something about living on the edge....I don't know if I posted this but it is an amazing movie for a pilot or a psychologist......and I like the HQ trailer:

Today on Jerry Springer...I mean...at Denny's.....

 I specifically don't go to seedy places like Denny's for this very reason - too many brawls....good place to pick up ho's though!

Would you have left a tip after this?   Who can sit next to this....my wife and kids would have been out of there!   One smack and we'd be done!  I pack a .45 just to ride the MAX in portland now and specifically sit where I can see everything for this reason.   Who puts up with this? I wouldn't ever sit through this.....I wouldn't want to get caught up in it nor have to kill someone for coming close to my kids.

AZ DENIES CITIZENSHIP TO ILLEGALS' CHILDREN! 14th Amendment!

Well - HOW DE DO!  Ain't this a sight to behold?   WOW!  I guess my side of the fence - the conservative side - is even more fed up than I thought it was!  OOOOOOWEEE!  Wow! 

I couldn't fit it all in the title up there though.  Actually a portion of Arizona's senate (The we-hate-illegals-and-are-inherently-racist-white-supremacist-republican-bastards-committee) passed a bill denying citizenship to the children of illegals which goes to the full Arizona senate - and the dems in Arizona's house don't have the numbers in either chamber to stop the bill.


Now, as my friend, Arlin,  who is an analyst - very analytical analyst - pointed out - the wording of the 14th amendment (which is only spelled with 1 "M" - check it! Don't put an extra "M" in there! Spell check will get you every time! It does me!  It SOUNDS like it needs two - but your lexical lyrical host has found it in fact only needs ONE "M".) actually appears to deny citizenship to illegals with its wording. 

I just so happen to have a copy of the 14th amendment text RIGHT HERE! Let me put it on my blog so you can see it: Ahem! Please stand back! (Unfold - crinkle - crumple)  This is the original so please be careful!  Please be careful!

protesters arguing over my blog...or the bill I wrote about in my blog...
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

I won't call Arlin's observations a technicality because I believe there is something to what he's saying.  His observation was as follows (Ahem).

Those born here illegally - have not subjected themselves to the jurisdiction of the U.S. They are living outside U.S. law.  Because they are here illegally and have chosen to skirt U.S. law for illegal gain, they have chosen to remain subject to their former domicile or country of citizenship.  Therefore, the children born to illegals are not here legally and their parents have forfeited their rights to citizenship being bestowed up on them.

In other words - if they don't obey the law - why should they benefit from the law?  But more than that - if you aren't following the law - how can you expect to benefit from the law?

Now this set up a fight in the supreme court as a ruling on the issue.  Arizona's thrown off the politically correct gloves with all this!   Which is fine - needs to be done!  We can't and won't survive as a country if we can't be honest with ourselves about ourselves about what we got going on and need to solve!  So - lets let the issue go to the supreme court and get some national attention and polarize the fray and bring out the contenders on both sides!  I only wish what's her butt - the chola racist wise ass latina fraud who got put on the supreme court last years and "cry me a river Kegan" who cant even remember to pull her keys out of her car when she gets out of it and leaves it running all night (CONTRIBUTING TO GLOBAL WARMING!) because "she's so busy doing other important things" - who also made it to the supreme court - weren't on it.

Idiocy like that gives me hope y'all though.  If those frauds can make it - I can definitely make it in this world. 

Late night captions (PG13)

NOW I understand classic art!  Sheesh!  Just needed a caption!  WOW! Who knew!


I just think a glue stick with your batteries?  To glue what???
He had it coming....he only had himself to blaaaaaame! 


And since that guy only had himself to blame, to drive home the point is Catherine Zeta Jones in a skimpy little outfit, on standby in my computer to do my bidding and my every whim whenever I want her to, ready to sing a song with some other scantily clad femme fatales about how some other guys met their demise worse than the guy above and could only blame themselves.....

Some Words to Live By.....

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.


Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.


Never test the depth of the water with both feet.


It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.


If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.

Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.


Experience is the sinking feeling you have made this mistake before.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Oh GOOD! The Carter Administration Over Again!

I'm so glad that when world war three breaks out right in the middle of our oil supply over in the middle east we'll be paying $100/gallon here in the U.S. !!! http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/02/22/crisis-libya-raises-fears-skyrocketing-oil-prices-causing-pain-pump/ So worth it so the polar bears don't have to hop over a pipe in Alaska.......WHEW!!!!  Maybe more stimulus spending will solve that issue over there as well.....


Evolved Flying Urban Polar Bear
Actually - I think the polar bears can handle it.  They evolve - don't you know?  Darwinism - evolution? There's no God....all that jazz?  All this is a giant accidental fart in the solar system?   So I included photographic proof that Polar Bears can learn to fly......See?  It's okay! DRILL BABY DRILL!



late night.....barf brigade....sick myself from no sleep....(PG13)




And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII......................will alwayyyyyyys.....

Barf Brigade Report...

My son is up barfing late at night.  The other night it was my daughter.  If you remember a while back I was so desperate when I was puking that I was willing to down fish-filter charcoal....well....now that's standard fare in our house.  Upset stomach?  Activated carbon charcoal. 

My son's the picky one.  That kid won't eat ANYTHING that's not done exactly right.  Charcoal?  You mean like tasting sand or eating wet dirt?   Mmmmm...good luck with that one.  Until.....tonight.  He's desperate!

As usual - once you down it your stomach still gurgles but the charcoal goes to work sucking up the germs and viruses that upset your stomach.  Within a moment his stomach had calmed down.  Good work Dad!    Though I'm exhausted from being sick myself and on barf brigade for however long now however many nights in a row.  I'm just wasted.   Actually, wasted was like a few days ago.

I don't quite know what this is that I'm feeling.  Some new dimension and level of sick on the final frontier of sickness before I cave to something completely debilitating and needing to be in the hospital - but c'est la vie je crois - du moins....pour moi c'est ca.

Life in the clouds.....

When I was a child, I often imagined skipping among the clouds, rolling around in them, laying on them and even throwing cloud balls.  When I used to fly, for some reason - the fact that the clouds weren't like that always seemed to disappoint me - every time.

Since life's felt exceptionally crappy lately - here's a nice photo montage with life in the clouds - just something outside the box to cheer up the day - something that made me smile.

I hope my readers and visitors have a nice day.  Cuz I could sure as heck use one.
