Coffee!


It's Monday. I suppose for most people who read (all 1 of you) this, Monday is the first day of your work week. Not for me! I'm on a rotating schedule, so today is my Friday!

Sometimes I take a picture for the purposes of writing about it. This is one of those posts. There are not enough blog posts like this. Usually a story is accompanied by a loosely related stock photo or clip art. That shit needs to stop.

This is my favorite coffee mug. It is the sturdiest coffee mug I've ever owned and I stole it from my ex when I moved out because hey, she left every single coffee mug I purchased at her work where they were then stolen. It's no longer a pretty mug. I didn't even wash it for this picture. I had to kludge together a pull tab after the plastic one this mug was manufactured with just broke off one day. I fretted for a bit over it until I realized that a paper clip fit through the hole.

Currently it's filled with luke-warm coffee, but that's okay. This thing keeps coffee really fucking hot for about 30 minutes by which time I get busy. If I didn't drink cooled coffee, I'd be wasting 95% of what I pour. Now I'll guzzle this gas station swill while I read about the protests going on at the state capitol and encourage myself to join them (and blog about it) tomorrow. Maybe I'll finally meet my favorite blogger, Emily Mills (of The Lost Albatross and Emily's Post), face-to-face for once. Anyway, I'd kind of like to be there to witness it myself and add my voice and person to the fight, and document it so that I can correct those who see the MSM's distortions of it on the news.

So patriots and lovers of democracy, go forward, whether democrat, republican or other and enjoy your week. I'll be sleeping in late.

I do not care what you believe. If you are not civil in the comments, your comments will be removed. If you want to be an asshole, go do it somewhere else. If you want to comment and tell me you're offended by something I wrote, that's not my problem.

I'm writing about my lived experiences and finding humor in the absurdity that surrounds us. If you are offended, your inferences of my writing likely bear little resemblance to the reality of what I'm trying to convey. Go bother someone else with your straw men. Trust me, there are much bigger fish to fry than a sometimes blogger like myself. If you can't find humor in what I've written, then this isn't for you. I'm sure your complaints will be welcome at any number of radical friendly left or right websites.

Blessed are the peacemakers.

Permanent Debt as an Economic Strategy

Message from both Obama & Trump administration's DoE. Sub-prime loans.  Let me tell you about sub-prime loans… I got one.  I got 8 actually because I went to that worthless piece of garbage for-profit not-center-of-higher-education, ITT Tech.  To hell with ITT Tech.  I went there because I squandered my opportunity at a real college and couldn't get tuition assistance.  ITT Tech got me a student loan at 22% interest.  That’s right.  A student loan at 22% interest.  And because they have quarters instead of semesters, I got that 4 times a year.  After the first quarter of straight A-s for this 2.86 high school GPA student, I was rewarded with federal financial aid as well.  I never saw a penny of it because ITT, Corinthian, AIA and others make sure those payments go straight to the bursar and into their fat bank accounts. From J.K. Cody, a former financial aid officer at ITT Tech: “Another interesting fact about ITT employees is that EVERY position at campus levels and o

Fear and Paranoia - Brought To You by Mockingbird Media

(Updated - Originally published 4/23/15)  Where is the beauty in the news?  Local news isn’t even local anymore.  All of the stations have the exact same stories; stories designed to create fear and paranoia.  It may seem hilarious when late night shows do a montage of allegedly independent local news stations using the exact same verbiage all across the nation, but it’s really creepy. “Tune in tonight as we remind you of a young woman that was skinned alive and raped 20 years ago.  We’ll discuss the gruesome details with the son of the perpetrator who confessed on his deathbed.  And later, is vanilla or chocolate ice cream healthier for your heart? ” "Fact not fear!  Tonight we tell you how many people have died from Covid without providing any context whatsoever and leave you to wonder if everyone you love will be dead in two weeks time!" It bleeds, it leads.  It  doesn't  matter where the bleeding occurs as long as white America becomes fearful from it. That’s

This Puddle

My ex-girlfriend could be very… expressive when she was upset.  She also  didn't   get things the way other people would. I told her we were breaking up, I  couldn't  see her anymore and she needed to get her things and leave.  She was upset, naturally.  She said, “I  can't  believe  you're  breaking up with me over this puddle on the kitchen floor.” I shook my head and said, “You can’t?  Really?  First of all, dear, even though I had much more important issues to attend to you refused to clean it up.  Second, it was a lot of blood. Third, you fucking stabbed me over using the last of the ranch dressing!"
