Long Time, No Post

Something has been keeping me from posting, and hasn’t been resolved yet, but I’ve been staying away and holding it to myself for too long. So, here’s a partial post to offer an excuse.

I’m sick of dishonorable behavior in the people around me. Even I have succumbed to it; shame is partially to blame for my blog absence.

I don’t want forgiveness. I don’t want anyone to help prop myself or others up with excuses. I don’t want forgiveness.

Things are hard, and people are taking shortcuts. The easy way. The way that operates on hope, not logic and facts and details.

But the easy way always hurts someone, sometimes only the person taking the easy way, but usually all the people directly involved.

Unfortunately, the easy way usually involves not communicating needs and wants to others involved. Just leaving things unspoken, as understood, when they aren’t just understood.

So, people are just deciding to do things, not talk to people, and not obeying directly visible cause and effect.

I’ve been hurt thrice in the past year and a half by careless, unthoughtful, illogical actions taken by those around me. Each broke my heart. Each landed me deeper in a depression that has seriously taken it’s toll, and not just on me.

I want people around me, and concurrently myself, to start giving a damn about honor, integrity, and doing what’s best WITHOUT screwing ANYONE over, by thinking about their possible actions and their repercussions outside of a moment’s worth of pleasure.

I’d also like it if people would stop thinking with their gut, and just allow their gut to cause doubt, thus encouraging thoughtful review with others.

But that’s asking alot.

Please try. I am, every minute of every day.

Skåll!!!

All Days Off Must End…

As does anything good.

*Dah-dah-DAH!*

Okay, enough melodramatics.  I think I’ve had enough of that recently.

Honestly, it was a really good five days, I got out of a funk and got some things accomplished.

Playing With This Site…

I’m currently changing up some plugins, cleaning up add-ons, and editing stuff under the hood, so I can start mobile blogging via iPhone, and fix/update stuff that has gotten weird over the past few months.

So, if this site starts acting funny, that’s why.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, WOW, lotsa stuff has been happening.  Where to start…?

Oh, I know.  With my priority list: workaholicism, social-life, and long-term.  (All three of which have not led themselves to regular blogging, not without biting hands that feed.)

Ye Gawds, Sometimes Us Hairless Monkeys Are Annoying.

It chafes me a bit, as I dislike politics and the lies and misleading attitudes contained within, but lately I can’t avoid it.

The reaction to the Health Care bill is childish, and completely unworthy of attempts to justify it.

This is not to say I agree with all aspects the Health Care bill, this is not to say that I support it as-is, this is to say just this: to those that disagree with it, stop acting like the ever-feared terrorists you claim to hate so much.  Some of you have fought against terroristic tactics, and now you employ them?

Assholes, the lot of you — calling supporters of this Health Care bill “baby-killers”, calling the black members of the government who participated “niggers”, calling homosexual members “faggots”, mailing powders to offices, calling in threats…  You make me sick, and display all the worst aspects of humanity.

We have a public forum and discussion about these things, and when you have lost the battle you shut the hell up and wait for another chance.

And on that topic, just because you have your beliefs doesn’t mean someone who holds other beliefs is inferior.

You claim to hold our democratic-flavored process in high regard, until you don’t get your way.

And on the other side, those who worked so hard to get this Health Care bill through: quit gloating already.  Gawddammit, things are difficult enough because they don’t want to give up the fight, and you start pissing gasoline on the fire?

This economy has a long fucking way to go to recover, all of us have to just buckle down and keep working to make it better.  The collective infighting and bickering and childishness isn’t helping one little bit.  All y’all: shut the hell up and move on to the next topic.

And news media outlets?  Please start covering other news.  Our fucking Health Care stuff is not the only thing going on in the world, when six billion people all over the place doing things all the damn time.  Quit covering the same six stories over and over, and quit trying to win the argument about Health Care.  Let’s find out what’s going on elsewhere on this spinning ball of mud.

I’ll get back to regular posts when life gets a little more even-keeled for me.  I just got tired of remaining silent on this.

The straw that broke the camel’s back?  Someone told me Bush Jr. was the best president we ever had.

And now, I’m going back to lurking on the Internets.

Skåll!!!

First Full Day

I’ve spent all day with this new phone, and I’m still mildly cussing and swearing under my breath.

Maybe it’s time for an audiobook.  Hrm, Dark Tower Vol. III seems a good choice.

Ah, better.

Why am I swearing?  Even if it is the Jesus phone, it’s a new, blank, pristine, unused and untracked Jesus phone.  After using my stupid Razor for, what, four years now, I have 96 contacts and 135 phone numbers to move over.
