This May Be My Last Orginal Post

Have you ever been so depressed or discouraged about something that you lost all desire for the things you once enjoyed? That is where I am at right now. Even on the off chance that things somehow work out in the end I just don’t think I will have the where with all to continue blogging. I’ve lost something dear to me and it’s all due to a verbal misunderstanding.

Sometimes guys, it’s not what you say but how you say it. Be careful. What does this mean? I’m not sure. There are close to 30 scheduled posts composed and ready to go, including (Poetic License, Dinner Party and the two meme posts in the making), there are guest bloggers that I would still love to have guesting for me. Also, I am supposed to be doing a collaborative effort with Cherlyn in the near future. I still will do that but it will only be posted on her blog. I have not decided yet, but I might continue leaving comments on your blogs. I’m just not really sure what direction I will take.

If I do decide to  stop blogging or at least take a seriously long hiatus, I will need someone to take over First Class Blogger Award, Flavor Internationale and perhaps if someone doesn’t mind, take over this blog as well. There is also the matter of my new sister, Anne. We keep in contact by email so there should not be a problem with that respect, however, I would love for you guys to continue to encourage her and show her love after she gets out of the institution.

I have not come to a definitive conclusion but I wanted you guys, both my new friends and old, to be aware of what is going on with my life. I’ve shared so many other personal things, I might as well share this too. As always I wanted to be open and honest in my posts. I am a very unhappy guy and yes of course it involves April. I put my foot in my mouth and there is nothing I have been able to do to remove it. Even if she forgives me for the things I said, I fear things will never be the same again. I hope to be proven wrong but only God knows. As of right now it looks like I lost my best friend.

Sorry so somber.

Hilarious Videos

So I was bored yesterday and I started watching YouTube videos. I just happened upon these funny videos in between the music I was looking for. I usually don’t create posts with profanity in them but these were just so funny (to me) that I needed to share with you. The first three videos are NSFW due to language.

Let The People Do What The Government Won’t!

When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
~ 1 Corinthians 13:11

We punish our children for acting like children but we reward the actions of our Congressmen’s with repeat votes and reelections. Time for a good old fashioned whippin’. Petty disagreements that serve no purpose other than to perpetuate your argument are childish. I don’t care how old you are. It’s just a sign of how immature you are and I see so much of this in the U.S. Congress that it makes my blood boil. To me, if something has a chance of working but your party is not the one who came up with it, so what. Do the right thing. If passing a bill that will help the country but it might not impact your state in a beneficial way, and you don’t get reelected because of it – so be it. Do the right thing.

The bickering between parties is an embarrassment. No matter how good President Obama’s intentions are/were, the Republicans were going to make sure nothing he had on his agenda, made it to fruition. When the Republican party fought back against Obama it seemed to this blogger that the Democrats didn’t have the stock, hutzpa or how should I say… the balls to fight back.

I’ve heard it said that there are those in Congress (both parties) who just don’t want a Black man to succeed where White men have failed. It’s a very cynical thought, not to mention a prejudiced accusation, but I myself am starting to see the validity in the statement. Your job, Congressmen and women is to serve the country. Not your best interest. Not your wallet or pocketbook. Your concern should always be for the weakest among us, not major corporations. Take care of the people and the people will take care of the businesses!

I don’t usually rant on my blog. I can only recall one other time but I wanted to get this off my chest ever since I heard how poorly the U.S.P.S. was doing. I have come up with one way to help the economy and one way to help alleviate the strain that technology has placed on the Post Office.

1) Construction is down because of the real estate situation. Construction workers, electricians, and all the other industries impacted can be put back to work helping the economy as well as the environment. I propose we convert every government owned building to solar power. I propose every building the government uses and rents, find a different building if the owner does not want to convert the building to solar power. I further propose that the owner of the building must use out of work contractors to do the job.

2) As far as the Post Office is concerned, I like Saturday delivery. It’s when I send my Netflix movies back to guarantee I get the new releases delivered on Tuesday (selfish much)? Seriously, I think it would be great if in exchange for all the tax breaks the Lukoil’s, BP’s, Gulf’s, Shell’s and so on get that the Congress make some sort of deal where the USPS gets gas at a flat fee of $2.00 per gallon. If gas prices dip below $2.00 then they would pay the lower price. I know that would save the Post Office a substantial amount of money and perhaps aid it to get back on it’s feet. Ben Franklin can stop rolling in his grave.

I know nothing in reality is as simple as this post makes it out to be, but there is really nothing difficult about just doing the right thing. I believe we the people have ideas that will never be tapped that will help our economy prosper again. If you’ve come up with ideas yourself, please let me know. Perchance someone of ‘importance’ wanders across this blog, they will take some of our suggestions into consideration. And you certainly don’t have to be an American. Hard times and hurting economies are a worldwide problem. Any ideas?
