Are Southerners really “Rebels” ...

Are Southerners really “Rebels”, not even close. Perhaps once upon a time the Southern populace had that “rebel” attitude and the mentality to tell the Federal Government, “You don’t own us!”

Now, in an era where truth is finally becoming more important than allowing a corrupt governing body to do whatever it wants, it is becoming clear that the concept of Liberty and Freedom are lost in these Southern United States. The South was willing to secede from the Union to prove that they would stand up for their beliefs. A great many people may say that slavery was a part of that belief structure. Sadly, it was, thankfully, it is no longer… or so the Federal Government would have us think. Slavery is wrong period. According to the Constitution of the United States, it is also wrong to infringe upon the rights of the citizens of the United States only a few of which are described in the Preamble and the first ten amendments of the US Constitution.

All “Men” [read “Mankind”/Humans] are created equal and entitled to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

The concept of “Freedom” outlined in the Us Constitution is very simplistic. You get to choose what is right for you. That’s right, “YOU,” not the church of  X or parents against whatever or any other group of small minded individuals banding together to try and control your thoughts, desires and actions. It is not "Carte Blanche" though, Freedom comes with very specific responsibilities (even if those responsibilities are not specified) and it certainly isn’t free.

Your rights, Freedoms and Liberties begin to be curtailed (justly so) when your actions affect others. If your actions adversely affect other citizens with out their consent then you are in the wrong. You can not involve others in your machinations with out giving them an opportunity to “Opt-out” (to use modern “Politically Correct” terminology). No one can force anyone to be a part of something that you do not believe in or support.

The prohibitions that the Federal Government has instituted are not allowed under the precepts of the US Constitution. The States are the “Final Authority” in matters that affect each individual state. The Federal Government is supposed to “Represent the US in matters involving “Foreign relations” and “mutual defense” for these “United States.” For each state is in fact as a Sovereign Nation unto itself. The Federal Government was never meant to be a defacto Empire controlled wholly from Washington D.C.. The president is not a Monarch or an Emperor; he is more of a tour guide.

So…

What happened in the Southern United States? When did the “rebels” all turn into “Sheeple”? Because somewhere along the lines some power hungry, politicians decided that all children needed to be indoctrinated into the benevolence and rightness of the Federal Government…. A concept that is entirely opposite of what our constitution tells us…

Don’t take my word for it, use your favorite search engine and educate yourself, Don’t scoff at my words with out learning whether they are true or not. Many people will do just that because they fear that they will learn that they have been misled, badly misled and they have believed things that weren’t really true about many people, places and things that have been reported on by the Governments (Federal and State) and lies from the Media and Journalists.

Very few people know what the Bill of Rights actually says. If they did, our Federal and State Governments would be inundated with demands from angry Citizens. Most people think they know what is entailed in the more popular amendments in the Bill of Rights, the 1^st, 2^nd and 4^th amendments involving speech, guns and privacy. The entire Bill of Rights is equally important. Many people overlook the 10^th amendment. That amendment is to remind the Federal Government that "We the People" are the final authority in this nation.

We as citizens of the United States have a duty to eliminate corruption with in our governing bodies. This is stated very clearly in the Declaration of Independence mostly in this excerpt:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

It is, in fact, our responsibility as Citizens to attempt to correct the wrongs that the Federal Government is inflicting upon We the People.  If the Government officials will not accede to the will of the people to abolish their power, remove them from office and rebuild the Government so that these forms of corruption can no longer be used to infringe upon the rights of the citizens again.

Project Anarchy Revealed

For those that don't know, I'm the psycho stalker fanatic that started the Project Anarchy award to show Kurt Sutter (@sutterink) how much the fans really feel about this show. It's been said that many fans knew nothing about the award. Do you know me? There ya go. @sutterink has over 150k followers on twitter. The SOAFX FB page has over 4 million likes.  I went with the hardcore fans that I knew from Twitter because that's where I pimp #SAMCRO from. The award wasn't about me. It was/is for every fan that loves the show! Every fan is the reason this award became a reality!

I almost tried to make it happen last season but I felt it would come off as mega stalkerish. Then I was kicking myself in the ass because I was one of the winners of the sons of anarchy challenge! Myra & I could have hand delivered the award personally. That trip to L.A., made up my mind for me. I just had to figure out a way to make it happen. That’s specifically why Myra Lowe was one of the first people I contacted about this. With all the internet scams going one. I figured there was a better chance of success if the SOA challenge winners were backing this.

I wanted to make it a “fan Based” project. That was really the only way to make it a genuine fan based effort. I’m pretty anti-social so the only reason I have followers on twitter or Face Book is because of Sons of Anarchy. This meant that anyone I approached with this idea had to be a hardcore fans themselves and hopefully with more connections to other hardcore fans. ROFLMAO, the “Project Anarchy” name came about so that we could discuss the award somewhat openly without giving anything away. We were after all trying to keep this a secret!

We all know this award cost a bit of money. I’m not rich by any means. That meant asking for donations to help fund the project. The more fans that were involved in the project the more small donations would work toward achieving our financial goals. There was no requirement by anyone to donate any money. I told everyone if you can donate a dollar fantastic! If you want to donate more that’s great too. While this award wasn’t cheap, so to speak, it wasn’t overly costly. We got 100% crystal, no plastic bs. That plaque has some heft to it!!

I was surprised when Kurt read off the names on the letter. I was ecstatic to hear every name from the group because everyone worked so hard to make this happen. I may have gotten things started but it was the group that made it all happen!  Ideas went back and forth. Many were shelved because while good ideas, they just didn’t quite achieve the level we were looking for. I know I wasn’t exactly happy with the way everything went. If I wasn’t happy about everything then most likely there were parts that everyone else wasn’t totally happy about either. So I figured that put us into some sort of balance.

When doing something like this, it can be easy to make mistakes. I’ve never done anything like this before. I am pleased that is worked out as well as it did. For every fan that did not have the opportunity to participate in the creation of Kurt’s award, my apologies. I didn’t leave anyone out on purpose. We had fans that opted not to join us. Perhaps they felt we were scamming people. For whatever reasons the choice was theirs. I did not deny any fan an opportunity to participate and money was never a factor.

For anyone that wants more information about what and how we did what we did to make this happen, drop me an email:

twistedshadow@hotmail.com

I’m sure a lot of the fans want to learn more about how it all worked. Sometimes it seems like these types of things can take on a life of their own, ;D

Beside I want to hear from everyone. What did you think of the award? So drop me a line and let me tell you about all this.

I hope all the fans are proud of the award Kurt received because without every single SAMCRO fan, this award probably never would have happened. Just because you weren’t personally in on the decisions that were made, they were made because you and all the rest of the fans wanted to see Kurt receive recognition for all his work and we all know the mainstream award committees are just going to keep ignoring Sons of Anarchy. But we fans won’t; will we? Email, it makes things happen!!

Thank you to all the fans

The United States will never be ruled by a Theocracy

The United States of America will never be a "Religious Nation" devoted to any single religious sect/faction or group. How ever you want to put it, The United States will never be ruled by a Theocracy. If one religious faction can come to power then any religious faction can. We have the First Amendment for a reason. That reason is to protect your right to worship your God as you choose with out being able to FORCE your beliefs onto others. That also means Atheists, Anti-theists, Agnogistics and any Non-Christian Religion is(should be) safe from persecution. Though a majority of so called "good Christians" seem to forget the days where their religious choice was so unpopular, that they were imprisoned and slaughtered for their belief. Christianity has its own version of zero tolerance for those of other beliefs even with in the Christian religion. Some factions aren't "Christian" enough and you hear people put them down often enough just like any other religion. A contradiction can not withstand the test of time. The truth is out there people just have to choose to believe the honest truth. The Old Testament (as taught to me in my childhood) had the one law, the first law. This was the only law that God needed (not mankind) to maintain control of the people. You do not eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why would god even put a tree like that on the planet and yet put plants and animals that can kill you? The very first Law did not work. The first prohibition didn't work! Then comes: the 10 Commandments!

Apparently there are three different versions (I just found this out myself) It seems that even the so called "Experts) can not agree on which is the real version

There are 10, 17 or 21 depending upon which version you are reading from. I don't mean different Versions of the Bible! That is another mess all on its own. No, these three versions are all from...

Wait for it...

The highly acclaimed King James Version! Three different versions of the 10 Commandments from the same "holy text"! They are in separate books of the Bible as shown in the link following.

Yeah, Ten Commandments weren't enough for Mankind. Even among the so called "faithful".  Regulating morality is just not possible. We have free will and are entitled to enjoy it. You don't have to like it. You do however have to accept it and allow your fellow humans to live in peace. When you infringe upon one person’s right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, you can expect people to begin infringing upon your right to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments

After the Ten Commandment failure, the next biggest change I see in the history leading up to the establishment of Christianity is the "Virgin Birth" which in reality was not a "never before heard of event". Yet this occurred, approximately 2000 years before the birth of Jesus.

The Egyptian God Horus was allegedly born of divinity. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christ_in_comparative_mythology

This would most likely have been taught to the children of Abraham as Gospel in place of their religion during their captivity in Egypt. Given the passage of time and lack of reliable ability to check facts; Humanity's innate desire to create corruption and Poof, the Son of God is born to a Virgin. However by the time Jesus is crucified he claims to be God in his own right.

Back up, the Ten Commandments says that you can not have any God before The God of Abraham (*simply for identification). Christianity puts Jesus ahead of the God of Abraham. No one can get to God except by putting Jesus Christ “before” the God of Abraham! That is a direct and blatant violation of the Ten Commandments. How can any who claim to truly worship The God of Abraham accept this blasphemy?

Confused yet? A contradiction can not exist. There are only so many options; either one is true, both are true or none prove to be true. I wonder why; why if Jesus was truly God, then why the elaborate lie? Why forsake the children of Abraham (his supposedly chosen people? That's another question all on its own) in favor of the Gentiles?  Where the hell did the Gentiles come from? If everyone on the planet was descended from the children of Noah, then everyone should be from the families of the children of Abraham and therefore Jewish by default.

Why be born as a human child? Why wait until he is nearly 30 to attempt to convince the masses that he is the son of God and then, nearly three years later, change his story and claim to be God? A true God has no need of such deceptions, flimsy fabrications or elaborate scenarios. That is the province of the Tyrants attempting to control the weak minded among Mankind. The ever evolving need for more and more objectivity to satisfy their ever growing lack of security and need to support their ever increasingly fragile ego.

Another question that has always nagged at me is the “No other God before me!” line. This implies that there are indeed “Other Gods” and that the God of Abraham is attempting to merely control the children of Abraham. Or perhaps it is in reality the so called “Spiritual Leaders” attempting to exert their control over the people for their own benefit? You start off with burnt offerings, and then you are giving your offering to the spiritual leaders to sacrifice for you. They are simply using “your’ offering” to sustain themselves without having to actually do any of the herding or planting and all the work that goes along with surviving in ancient civilization. For thousands of years spiritual and tribal leaders have used their position and influence to annihilate any that opposed them. The more Charismatic and strategic the leader, the more prosperous the followers of that leader become.

I’ve studied many different religions to some extent. One thing they all have in common is belief in a higher power (I originally typed “poser”… kind of fitting in a way, roflmao). Christianity is currently the most popular flavor of religious preference. For several reason I think that pertain to the fact that this religion was created during an information rise among Tribal and Spiritual leaders, “Information Networking,” for lack of a better term. Christianity was created like any other Religion. Someone said, "This is the son of God!” And others believed for whatever reasons real or contrived, Christianity was born some 2,000 years ago.

Now the rules changed, other religions we assimilated into Christianity by The religious leaders adopting some of the primary tenets that fell within the parameters the Christian founders established. Then convincing others that they were worshiping wrong and showing them the “true way” to everlasting life. A belief most religions aspire to achieve, Eternal Life!

You are free to worship the religious belief of your choice in the U.S. but not because the First Amendment says so, but because we respect the Bill of Rights and the Constitution that the governing of our Nation is based upon. Without proper respect and adherence to the constitution, Our Nation is nothing. It matter not whether we are discussing freedom of religion, the right to keep and bare arms or the right to protection from unlawful search and seizure.

The Bill of Rights in our Constitution is the core belief system that allow all Mankind the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Without following these core beliefs and respecting the rights of all people as defined by the Bill of Rights then no ne will have any rights.

This is already occurring in our Nation! People don’t want to stand up for themselves because then they may draw attention to themselves and some right they enjoy mey become targeted next. That is the exact opposite of the truth! It is by not standing up and demanding that your rights be acknowledged and respected that we begin to lose those rights. If you want to trade your freedom for security, that is your business. I’ll take my freedom, my liberty and my right to the pursuit of happiness and my chances in defending my rights against those that would try to infringe upon my rights. Prisons are pretty secure, but that is where we send people that violate our rights. Prisons are secure but no more safe than a row boat on the ocean in a storm. If you aren’t smart enough to get to shore…  I think you get the picture.

I want my Freedom! I want my Rights as defined by the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution! Without the right to choose for yourself in matters that affect only you and/or other [consenting] adults, you have no rights. You are not free. To think that you are is to lie to yourself and those around you.

TRUE FREEDOM IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT! 

Accepting anything less is an unacceptable compromise to OPPRESSION!

People that Abuse/Torture Animals SUCK!!

People that Abuse/Torture Animals

I love my dogs. They are each and everyone a part of my family. Last week one of the dogs, Ivory, appeared to have gotten stung or bitten on her snout. She had been hiding (not unusual or Pomeranians) and had been refusing to come out and didn’t want anyone to mess with her. Well, I thought, dogs are fairly good at taking care of most anything that happens to them. When I finally was able to coax her out; her snout was very swollen. It looked like a small balloon stuck where her snout & nose should have been. While she would allow me to hold her, any attempt to look at her snout closely was evaded and at times she would even get a bit aggressive if pushed. So, I left her alone. Now that the swelling has come down, I can see what really happened.

At the back of her mouth, it would appear that some wire or fine string was wrapped around her snout through her mouth. Both sides of her mouth have been sliced completely. It makes it look as though her snout and nose are just hanging there.

I’ve checked my yard very carefully and I can find no areas in the chain link fence that would account for this specific type of would. I believe it was wire or some really, strong string because across the top of her snout is a slight crease where the swelling abruptly stops. This lines up exactly with the cuts on both sides of her mouth.

I am so pissed! If I ever find out who did this I may just go off on their evil worthless carcass. People that do things like that to animal deserve whatever foul fate Karma hands them. I’d just like to be around to see it happen. I have to make a decision. I have to decide if I should put Ivory down or just see I fit will heal on it’s own. I already know I fit does heal she will still have the gashes on either side of her snout. With out surgery at least. I just had surgery myself. I’m not in a position to put up the money it would cost to have a Vet fix this. I am thinking that under the circumstances putting her to sleep may be best for her. It is killing me to have to make this decision. She has suffered with this for a week already because we thought it was just a bee sting or maybe a minor snakebite. If I had realized how bad this was when it first happened, I can’t say that I would be doing anything different as my financial situation wasn’t much better obviously.

I catch anyone messing around my dogs again and I am automatically going to assume they intend to harm them. I sill have a decision to make and it isn’t one that I ever thought I would have to make. Let me learn the identity of the idiot that did this to my dog and I think I may be able to make a decision more quickly concerning them. Yeah, I’m pissed! I’ve had Ivory for about 8yrs now. I certainly hope I don't hae to have her put down because I’m going to miss her.

Freedom isn't Free Americans seem to have forgotten that

"Our nation had been founded in what we may call our American religion, baptized and reared in the faith that a man requires no master to take care of him, and that common people can work out their salvation well enough together if left free to try." "The deadliest enemies of nations are not their foreign foes; they always dwell within their borders." William James 1987
Those two quotes from that speech meant to remind people that we are Nation of free people (supposedly) We are capable of deciding personal choices for ourselves and that we should be left to work things out for ourselves. Our Federal Government was designed to have limited control over the day to day functions of the states and the people. Some how over time, the Federal Government has Usurped authority from the states and the people in order to empower themselves. As our current President, Obama has shown that without proper oversight and control over the checks and balances that allow our Democratic/Republic Society to function, You wind up with a dictatorship supported by a mockery of Representatives and Senators, pretending to serve the People. The greatest threat to any Empire through out history has been from within. Corruption allowed to fester until the very structure of the Nation began to crumble. Those elected to lead us in Governing our States and our Nation our rapidly and repeatedly bankrupting our treasuries and discrediting our Nation's reputation, what hasn't already been discredited by manipulation, deception, espionage and assassination.
A Government by the people, for the people is no longer how our Nation is administered. Americans are hated and despised the world over. Yet it is the actions of our Government and not the people that are causing harm the our Reputations. Our Governing bodies are out of control and yet Senators and Representatives speak often and repeatedly about bringing our elected officials back into compliance with the Constitution, they do so only until they themselves and their Political party are in position to abuse the powers of what ever office they hold at the time.
It is very likely that Obama will be reelected. The GOP having proffered no truly viable candidate (from the alleged front runners, Ron Paul being the only candidate attempting to restore integrity and constitutionalism to the Nation). Romney appears to be the GOP's candidate and a representative of the GOP aspirations to put women back into at best a second class citizen status and at worst a return to women as chattel. Women can't decide for themselves on Birth control, the Republican Senators and Representatives claim to be a better judge of what women in the U.S. need. How can any woman in the Nation Identify with that philosophy? How can any Woman claim to support GOP policies when those same policies will put women out of political office? Create hostile environments in the Doctors examination room? Women and anyone men in the U.S. supporting those GOP policies that eliminate our freedom and right to liberty are in fact traitors to the very concept of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The Democratic party is no better for a very similar reasons though they may approach the situation from a different point of view, the end result comes out the same; more laws limiting the citizens rights and freedoms. the sad part about the whole mess is that voting in a third party candidate would work but you have to vote in third party in every seat in congress to create the necessary environment to put the Federal Government back in their place.
I have a new found respect for Patrick Henry and his historically famous speech learned in grade school history during lessons about the American Revolution. "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" How do we regain our freedom and our rights when the entity rescinding, eliminating and obstructing our liberty is the very Government elected to protect that very thing...

Think about it for a few minutes

Eileen Hart’s response to my comment and my reply, roflmao

 

You can read her response to my comment here:

http://eileenhart.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/the-mental-derangement-of-kurt-sutter/#comment-169 

You can read my reply there also but it’s a bit buried under the 70 some odd comments that her post resulted in. Only one or two positive responses were amongst the entire slough of comments that readers left.

Now, in Eileen’s defense, she only has 2 other blog posts that I could find (I didn’t look real hard). If you’re going to start blogging, no reason not to jump in with both feet. Which she did. Bashing everyone isn’t a great way to start off but then again well, If you read it you know; if not then read it because it is to complicated to explain easily.

My Response to her comment:

1. Mr. Sutter did not send me or anyone else that I know of, to attack, belittle or otherwise harass you.
2. Kurt is an educated individual with a honest to God(that’s how you spell it) degree. Perhaps he is under educated in the areas you have chosen to focus your blog on.
3.Despite my education there are a great many fields in which my knowledge is lacking. That can be corrected, should I choose to take the time to do so.
4. I never said Jefferson was an atheist. I stated that not all of our founding fathers were Christians.
5 Their are many Abrahamic Religions. All worship God, no matter what name they give him (Allah, Yahweh, whatever) It’s still God.
6.The Constitution was a collaborative effort of many men. They all had differing beliefs and desires for what they wanted this Nation to become. the current police state we have developed into is revolting and against the very freedoms our founding father’s fought for.

7. Liberal Marxist Professors? really? I was raised “Better Dead than Red” and served as a U.S. Marine with the same ideals. Though I am more enlightened now as to the narrow minded agenda of those that would restrict our rights in the name of security. I assure you I am in favor of individual rights. Less Government BS and smaller Government.
8.We as Americans have the same rights as everyone else, unless your GLBT, then you still get discriminated against. Not because of anyone’s “lifestyle” choice; as I presume all humans prefer to maintain a human lifestyle. A persons sexual orientation is their own business and not a “lifestyle choice”, it is a portion of who they are, we need to accept it and move on with reality.
9.We all have the right to “Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” To infringe upon that right is to deny everyone the same right. What consenting adults do is their business so long as no one is being hurt. Being offended by someone’s existence is not an infringement on your rights, you just have to learn to deal with people that are different from yourself. That is just life.
10. Wake up call, I don’t hate you, I don’t even know you, with the exception of the thread emanating form your original blog post. for you to claim that I “hate you” is a bit presumptuous don’t you think?

The Jewish people are not responsible for all the problems (if any at all) in the world.
The current situation of our economy isn’t Obama;s fault. He inherited the fall out from Reaganomics. Giving tax breaks to the rich for job creation. the single flaw, no company is going to hire people just because of a tax break there has to be a need that creates the position for someone to be hired to do the work fulfilling that need.
What is Obama’s fault is that all his attempts to counter the financial collapse involve adding more debt with out correcting the problem of reaganomics. I used to admire Reagan, not so much anymore. I don’t care if a person considers themselves to be Liberal or conservative. their personal views don’t count in public office. what counts in public office is the will of the people and our nations elected officials have forgotten or ignored that fact for decades and it is time for that to change.
you are correct in that we need patriots willing to force the federal government to operate within the constraints set up by our constitution and let the states get back to governing their respective states.

So in review, I don’t hate you. I’m not a Marxist. I consider myself to be more of a libertarian. Kurt didn’t tell me to come here and harass you.

I’d also like to know what the “false claims” I made were? Since I am a supporter for the repeal of Cannabis prohibition I keep it separate from my promoting of the Sons of Anarchy TV show out of respect for Kurt’s past challenges with drug abuse/use (I don’t consider Cannabis to be dangerous though).

Perhaps you should blog more, it seems to me that you have a lot of pent up aggression.

The Lame attack of Kurt Sutter by some lady I never heard of

 

You can read it here:

http://eileenhart.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/the-mental-derangement-of-kurt-sutter/#comment-76

And my response that I posted on her blog which will probably get deleted, lol. so you can read that here:

Eileen,
you sound a bit bitter and scorned. What happened? the networks didn't feel you had what it takes to be a show runner, so you're relegated to expressing your frustration via a blog. Which by the way you should know, that I would never have heard of much less read if not for Kurt Sutter.  I  have actually had the pleasure to meet and talk with Kurt and his wife.
His mind never seems to stop thinking of what to put into his show that the fans will appreciate and enjoy, hate and despise. That is his job! How much did you get paid for this blog bashing him? Your inflammatory and derogatory remarks are merely exposing your rant for what it is. some one pissed in your cheerios and you are taking it out on Kurt. He has admitted to the flaws & faults of his past.  No he isn't GOD, He's not our lord and master. He is however a master storyteller and he proves that every week on Tuesday night from August to December. The only disappointment I have incurred with watching his show is it's over way to soon. It's like an addictive substance and there is no escape until the series ends. I don't think any of the fans want to escape from this story.

We are of course all entitled to our opinions. I find your opinion to be full of half truths and speculation. That's my opinion.

‘Tis the Season to Be Jolly!

The Holiday Season is in full swing, I say that because many religions have holy days that are observed at this time of the year. Hanukah, Kwanza, Yule, Christmas and probably a slough of others that I don't know anything about, so in order to include everyone, I feel Happy Holidays is totally an acceptable salutation; since it denies no one's Religious Holy Days and expresses good will to everyone. Be honest isn't that what the spirit of the season is truly about? We all have our traditions and some have nothing to do with Religion. To say Happy Holidays to someone isn’t offensive if you don’t’ know what their beliefs are. For the people you know that follow a certain belief you should feel free to speak whichever salutation you think/know is appropriate.

Has anyone ever wondered why, it seems that only the Christians appear to be offended by allowing everyone a salutation that does not specifically deny their religious beliefs and customs? Many such customs and beliefs predate Christianity and yet all the holiday seasons fall in/around the same time of the year. So how is it that the celebrated birth of Jesus Christ happens to have arbitrarily been established in the middle of every other known religion’s holiday celebrations?

Spoken words are meaningless prattle as often as sincere sentiment. What you truly believe in your heart can never be put down by expressing your true sentiment. If Christmas is what you celebrate and you are among those that demand everyone accede to your religious beliefs and customs then everyone else has the same right to demand that you acknowledge their beliefs and customs accordingly. Common courtesy demands equality among people. Most Religions do not accept any form of equality except within the belief structure of their followers. Encouraging their followers to demand that everyone accept their belief structure and customary salutations is in actuality encouraging the spread of hate toward those who believe differently than any single religious faction. If promoting hate in a back-handed way such and being offend by a simple holiday greeting is acceptable in your religion then perhaps you should examine your religions foundation and what their actual belief structure is.

Really, it all comes down to control. Control of peoples personal actions, indoctrination of children (the same thing the occults do) to deny the beliefs of others while promoting their belief as the only one and true religion. Claiming to teach not to hate but that only applies to fellow believers of the same faith structure. If they can control your thoughts, they can control how you behave, how you live, how you teach your children and how you treat those that are different from yourself and your fellow believers.

What the U.S. Federal Government thinks of “We the People”

 

A total of Eight petitions knocked out in one fell swoop. It doesn’t matter that while not identical they all attempted to put a harness on the Federal Government’s special cash cow. That would be the war on drugs. More Specifically the war on Marijuana. The DEA Allocates nearly 75% of their general budget to Marijuana busts. The DEA can’t allow we the people to force them to legalize it or repeal prohibition to be more specific.

I think It’s time for everyone to look at what is happening in the U.S. today. The Government is maintaining their ideology and agenda by means of force until election time and then who  ever gets voted in then will try to undo what Obama has done and We the people will continue to foot the bill for the draconian policies of both the Democrats and the Republicans.

The fact that Obama blew of eight separate petitions with out regard for their exact content and reason for being. The position of Drug Czar is a contradiction to the very sentiment that our Constitution is founded on. Freedom, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Our federal Government, Many state, County and Municipal governing bodies no longer stand for what this Nations is supposed to stand for.

Our Nation is supposed to stand for

“Liberty and Justice for all”

Not liberty and justice for those who can buy it behind closed doors. The impeachment of The sitting President is long over do. His policies and lack of judgment have driven the nation into financial collapse. cessation is being spoken quietly in some states and more openly in others. If the Union is to fall, Let the removal from office of Obama precede the disintegration of the United States of America.

Legalize and Regulate Marijuana in a Manner Similar to Alcohol. and 7 other petitions

What We Have to Say About Legalizing Marijuana

By: Gil Kerlikowske

When the President took office, he directed all of his policymakers to develop policies based on science and research, not ideology or politics. So our concern about marijuana is based on what the science tells us about the drug's effects.

According to scientists at the National Institutes of Health- the world's largest source of drug abuse research - marijuana use is associated with addiction, respiratory disease, and cognitive impairment. We know from an array of treatment admission information and Federal data that marijuana use is a significant source for voluntary drug treatment admissions and visits to emergency rooms. Studies also reveal that marijuana potency has almost tripled over the past 20 years, raising serious concerns about what this means for public health – especially among young people who use the drug because research shows their brains continue to develop well into their 20's. Simply put, it is not a benign drug.

Like many, we are interested in the potential marijuana may have in providing relief to individuals diagnosed with certain serious illnesses. That is why we ardently support ongoing research into determining what components of the marijuana plant can be used as medicine. To date, however, neither the FDA nor the Institute of Medicine have found smoked marijuana to meet the modern standard for safe or effective medicine for any condition.

As a former police chief, I recognize we are not going to arrest our way out of the problem. We also recognize that legalizing marijuana would not provide the answer to any of the health, social, youth education, criminal justice, and community quality of life challenges associated with drug use.

That is why the President's National Drug Control Strategy is balanced and comprehensive, emphasizing prevention and treatment while at the same time supporting innovative law enforcement efforts that protect public safety and disrupt the supply of drugs entering our communities. Preventing drug use is the most cost-effective way to reduce drug use and its consequences in America. And, as we've seen in our work through community coalitions across the country, this approach works in making communities healthier and safer. We're also focused on expanding access to drug treatment for addicts. Treatment works. In fact, millions of Americans are in successful recovery for drug and alcoholism today. And through our work with innovative drug courts across the Nation, we are improving our criminal justice system to divert non-violent offenders into treatment.

Our commitment to a balanced approach to drug control is real. This last fiscal year alone, the Federal Government spent over $10 billion on drug education and treatment programs compared to just over $9 billion on drug related law enforcement in the U.S.

Thank you for making your voice heard. I encourage you to take a moment to read about the President's approach to drug control to learn more.

I’d Like to Move on to The Next Train Wreck Please…

Remember that video I was going to try to do? Well, I had 3 of them  on my ipod. IT took me a couple of hours to finally stop & read the instructions before I finally got them moved to my pc. at first everything worked great then, I went to show my wife and all the video was corrupted…   I tried to recover the original files from the ipod, I deleted them like an idiot. I knew I should have waited until I the vids were posted and working. That’s the breaks folks. as much as it sucks. I know everyone was looking forward to lots of pics and such.

The true story of my life, one train wreck after another. Now there are some good times in between collisions but the collision is imminent. I have come to accept that. Though I have experienced a series of blessings that have been phenomenal, my luck usually runs towards things not turning out as badly as they could have. In other words a positive outcome is doubtful under the best of conditions. Or perhaps my perspective is skewed.

I’m certainly far from glamorous and I’m more than ok with that. I have managed over the years to turn or perhaps twist should be the appropriate word here, to twist events in my favor rather than letting them twist me. Some times in life you just have to roll the dice and see how they land.

I’m surprised at the number of people telling me that they would not have shared the trip I won to L.A. to meet Sons of Anarchy Creator Kurt Sutter and members of the cast. I always thought of the #SAMCRO fans as looking out for one another, so to speak. But just like in the show, people sometimes have their own agenda and do what they do for their own reasons.

Anyway, no video, it sucks but that’s where we are at. I need to watch last nights show again because there is a clue in there that I think I missed. I ‘m almost sure there is. I’m already jonesing for next weeks episode. and I’m still tired from the weekend. time to rest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To L.A. And Back Again; A Twisted Holiday

I won a trip to Los Angles to join a special screening of the TV show The Sons of Anarchy. A reward for being a devoted fan of the show and the Creator Kurt Sutter. The rip was for myself + 1. Well, my wife couldn’t come with me for some personal reasons. the most important being our 2 youngest children have special needs.

the week leading up the to trip was unbelievably twisted, noting really wanted to go right. things came up missing, forgotten or out right passed over. by Thursday night I had finally gotten everything rounded up. I over packed a bit so despite killing my back I refused to give in to the extortion of checking bags. I should have packed less or been more specific as to what I really needed to have.

The flight from Little Rock was short to say the least. less than an hour. I semi-napped. All totaled for the week leading up to Friday's departure I accumulated about 20 hours of sleep. Between my 2 boys having a bad stomach virus, my back pain, abdominal pain (ulcers & possible gall bladder) I was exhausted. I wasn’t about to miss this trip if I could help it.

My father had minor Heart surgery Thursday before the day to leave on the trip. I had also been playing it by ear as to whether I was going to be able to go on the trip at all. surgery went great my dad while not in great shape should still have a speedy recovery. I didn’t dare go to the hospital because even though I didn’t catch the stomach  virus I didn’t want to risk giving it to my dad or my mom or anyone else really.

Despite several mishaps which I was able to overcome, thankfully I had a pretty good time.

Everyone was so nice that despite the pain I had to endure I couldn’t help but smile back and actually be polite, well I hope I was polite at least a little.

The Hotel we stayed at was the intercontinental on avenue of the stars in Century City. Amazing, If I every win the lottery, I’m going to be living in a place like that. Everything is literally at your fingertips. the food was incredible.

My wife couldn’t come with me on the trip as I stated previously. I could very well have gone alone and enjoyed myself to no end. I also thought that was selfish, in a way. Of all the crazy devoted fans of The Sons of Anarchy, there had to be one that I felt comfortable enough asking to go with me. It wasn’t too difficult to decide to ask another fan if they wanted to go, so long as the folks at Fox were amenable to possibly flying someone from another state to join the group.

I was quite impressed that it worked out so well. I chose @meadowgirl on twitter. We’ve been tweeting Sons of Anarchy since the beginning. It wasn’t easy convincing my wife to let me take not only someone neither of us had met but another woman to boot. While there were some minor difficulties to correct everything worked out fairly well. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to ask @meadowgirl to attend another event. I don’t know if she would be willing to say the same, lol my wife was really ticked because the room arrangements got screwed up. @meadowgirl was pretty much of the same mind as me, we can work with it until the front desk can get things straightened out.

Thank god The hotel had a seriously high-powered hot tub. My back needed after the flight and all the walking I did. I don’t remember falling  asleep but I sure didn’t want to get up Saturday morning. MY sister and Bro-in-law came up and we hung out for a couple of hours. Unfortunately I missed meeting @AprilMac. I lost the vid cam that Fox had us carry around to video our stay in L.A.. I got it back but lost over 4 hours of vid time.

I think I’ll hit this again tomorrow, It got kind of long

Ashamed To Be An American

It's impossible to be proud of being an American when Our Country stands on the verge of collapse. We as a nation have teetered on the edge of ruin for some time now because corrupt Politicians and the corrupt Corporations that have bought them have usurped our rights and freedom for their own greed.
Watching videos posted from citizens in cities across the nation; the abuses being levied against peaceful citizens attempting to exercise their First Amendment Rights and the powers that be (corrupt corporations and politicians) are using the people's money to assault and terrorize our fellow citizens. There is no honor in what is happening to the #Occupy Protesters.
When the foreign governments assaulted the protesters in their countries, our elected officials pointed to them stating that the people demand freedom from oppression, it's an Inalienable Human Right! When the Citizens of the U.S. finally begin to rise up against the injustice of oppression and corruption, our governing bodies do the same things that Mubarek did in Egypt. The same things Quadafi did in Libya. Not quite the same things as China did @Tienamen square… yet. The Chinese Government is the only one of those three examples still in power. The peaceful movement is on the verge of becoming a movement for survival.
Several Governing bodies across the nation have opted to ignore our constitutional rights. They no longer serve “We the People.” These governing bodies and the corrupt police departments protecting them and their corporate owners must be brought to justice. We do not need another violent and bloody revolution. Though bloodied the #Occupy Protesters have remained peaceful. They do have every right to defend themselves and yet they are choosing to show everyone that Honor and Integrity do still mean something in the 21st Century.
As a U.S. Marine, I took an oath upon enlisting to defend our country from all enemies foreign and domestic. Every man and woman professes the same oath when enlisting in any branch of the U.S. Armed forces. I’ve been back in civilian life for 20+ years but seeing these abuses of power and position; seeing people injured simply because they are trying to find a way for the governing bodies to take our claims seriously. It pisses me off. The next “Shot heard ‘round the world” is potentially, only one more abusive act away.
Over the last two years, things have really gotten out of control with politicians passing legislation overturning voter-approved laws. New restrictions have been place on our right to vote in some states. Law-abiding citizens are being subjected to unlawful searches and seizures. Private property is being destroyed with out due process. If you agree that as citizens of the United States that we do not deserve to have the rights our founding fathers bequeathed us then you are possibly in the right place.
However, if you feel that any if not nearly all of our constitutional rights have been/ are being continuously violated by our governing bodies and the Corporations that have bought their loyalty. Then stand up and speak out. If you can’t march with the protesters, then at least write and call your elected officials and tell them how this country will be run from now on! Exactly as our founding fathers meant for the U.S. to be, a nation governed by the people, for the people! The corruption plaguing our governing bodies (Federal, State, County/Parish and Municipal) has carried on for decades much like a criminal enterprise under the “Rico Act.” It sounds like it too me.
I applaud the #Occupy Protesters that are braving more than just the wrath of mother nature in order to help force the Governing bodies to listen and respond in accordance with the will of the people. It is my hope that though bloodied by abuse, the protestors can remain peaceful. I just wonder how many will risk their lives over the coming weeks and political turmoil forces the powers that be to instruct the police departments to step up the level of abuse against the people protesting? Of those valiant citizens, how many will die in this attempt to restore our rights and freedoms, to put an end to the injustices foisted upon the citizens by corrupt corporations and the politicians they have bought.
I was willing to die for my country if I had to during my time in the Marines and even beyond that up until the last few years or so. Now, I don’t think so. Not now that I have come to see the reality of the situation. If we are to change the situation, put an end to the corrupt practices our governing bodies have adopted and get the corrupt corporations out of our governing bodies, then that is something I can believe in and to help fight for. We can all do something to help. If we do nothing, we may as well line up for our mandatory 10yr prison sentence so the government can keep up with the mandatory minimum inmate population they agreed to in the Prison Corporation of America’s contracts. Which can only go up as the PCoA attempts to provide an ever-increasing profit for their investors.

I honestly never considered that one day, I would come to feel ashamed of being an American…

Going to LA!!!

Hey Sons of Anarchy Fans,

I didn’t realize Kurt was announcing the contest winners Sunday. We were at my sister’s celebrating my son’s birthday (he’s 5 now) and I was telling everyone about the challenge for Sons of Anarchy.

Seriously, though, I wanted to say something here on my blog for all the fans that aren't on #twitter.

Pimping #SonsofAnarchy and @sutterink has been, and will continue to be a blast. I know there are a lot of fans jumping on the M.C. Pony Express since 101 The Sons of Anarchy Series Premier! All with good reason, The Sons of Anarchy is the greatest dramatic production in the history of television. I made a statement to that effect several times, well before @sutterink (Kurt Sutter) ever replied to me on #twitter.

I was always conscious of the fact that he could at any time say, “HEY, stop your shit! You fucking cunt!” When I decided to hit #twitter, I decided I would go as hard as I could and as far as @sutterink would let me, lol. I don’t really have much of a filter and I trip myself up quite often. So, I’m a bit self-conscious about what I say usually. Not getting hammered for “spam” was a secondary concern. I thought about starting up a disposable acct just for promoting @sutterink and #SonsofAnarchy, just in case. I opted to continue using my original #twitter acct @Twisted_Shadow. I never really tweeted much before SAMCRO anyway so what the heck.

Pissing off @sutterink was the one thing that would have crushed me. I’ve never met the man in person, any of the cast or crew (to the best of my knowledge). I had only ever heard of Katey Sagal (I enjoyed Married with children a great deal) and Ron Perleman (my mom was/is a huge beauty and the beast fan). Why would he getting mad at me be a potential emotionally crushing incident? Well, Sons is his show. I try to treat my online interaction as I would real life. It may be just words on the monitor to some people but there is still a person on the other end of every post, tweet, what have you.

At first I was like a madman, perhaps even a bit psychotic in my approach. I typed every single tweet I posted. I downloaded #tweetdeck and set up the columns so I could see anything I thought that might help. I ended up with four columns, as my basic #tweetdeck feed and I would add additional columns as needed to keep up with other things that might help. I rarely ever checked direct messages because that only works when someone I follow is following me back. I do try to remember to check my DM’s every couple of days now.

I think I had less than 100 tweets when I started pimping #SAMCRO and @sutterink. Season three brought me some challenges because apparently while I didn’t get slapped with a skateboard for spam I did experience quite a few error messages. Which meant I had to switch my system up to get around the (what I called) blocks preventing me from tweeting the way I had been before. I didn’t use any sneaky tech programs or use one of those things where you pay them and they get followers for you (I’m a cheap bastard in most things). I had to get a bit more creative.

My entire philosophy for pimping #SAMCRO and @sutterink depended completely on reaching as many potential fans/followers in a single tweet. Once I had done that it was up to the new followers to add a few friends/co-workers to the bunch and they begin adding more friends. Simply tweeting “@sutterink, #sonsofanarchy, #SAMCRO and #SOA would only reach tweeps watching for those #hashtags. So unfortunately, for many people trying to help get the message out, it didn’t go very far. Once I realized this, I fought with myself over how to reach as many tweeps as possible. I had to stop thinking about it in order to come up with a solution. This is not something I normally do. Look at the number of followers for @Twisted_Shadow. Last Saturday or so I had a little over 200 (I think). I just checked I have like 375, that is a huge jump, for me lol. I’ve had this twitter acct for a several years now. I just never really tweeted much before Sons of Anarchy. I’m still under 9,000 tweets and Kurt has over 56.5K followers on @sutterink!

Believe me, #SAMCRO fans come from all walks of life. I found fans in some very unlikely places. Well, unlikely for me. I can’t say for sure how effective my efforts really were because quite frankly I never tried to track at what I did. I looked at how many followers @sutterink had gained and began tweeting that also. Sure enough every time I posted a tweet with how many followers Kurt had, I could go back and check a few minutes later and see another hundred, 200 or so more followers. I think one night during season 2 we (all the tweeps pimpin’) got a little over 1.2K followers for @sutterink.

Here we fans are settling in to watch 402 and I still wonder what is it about the show that drives us fans to practically drag people in front of a TV and say “watch, just watch for a minute.” Boom, they’re hooked. I can break down what I did in a simple easy to follow formula (for lack of a better word). I tell 3 people and get them to tell 3 people and those nine to each tell 3 people. ROFLMAO. To some of you that will sound very familiar, if you’ve ever been approached by an Amway salesman (or anyone selling a system like it). That is how they break down the system. I guess it really does work if you are pimping something people really want. Only instead of reaching 3 people, I needed to reach thousands. I do know of one celebrity for sure that started following @sutterink because of my tweeting to her. When she tweeted that she was now following @sutterink, I was ecstatic.

Once I figured out how to do what I wanted to do in a more effective manner I was rolling. Later I figured how I could pimp more effectively and not have to sit at the computer for long periods of time. LOL this isn’t actually funny but I came up with the concept after I injured my back and it freaking hurt to sit, stand and especially lay down. I could barely lift a nearly empty plastic cup much less having anything in it. That was agony. I think I did miss a few days tweeting for a short time. I’ve gotten used to it for the most part. Anyone that has ever messed up their back can tell you, it effing sucks. Sometimes it felt like a knife and other times it would feel like it was on fire.

Ahhh, started drifting, LOL. I do that now and then.

Being chosen for this opportunity is as much thanks to all the fans that jumped on the M.C. Pony Express and followed @sutterink on twitter and the Blog. I wouldn’t be having this opportunity if no one had begun following Kurt. I wish everyone could go on the trip.

I have a friend in Australia (thanks to #SOA) She’s a Huge #SAMCRO fan. and has been helping spread the word down under. It would crack me up because she always wrote: S.A.M.C.R.O but now the #hashtags have caught on almost everyone uses #sonsofanarchy rather than #SAMCRO. Personally, I like #SAMCRO. The Aussies’ are a season behind us in the states for some reason. FX, I expect that to be fixed, with worldwide satellite capabilities Sons of Anarchy should be able to be viewed worldwide on Tuesday’s; Wednesday night’s beyond the international date line (and I’m only partially saying that because she’s hot! I hope she doesn’t read this, lol. I would not want to embarrass her.) Then all the fans can discuss/chat about the episodes the next day essentially. Especially for our troops overseas, it is a very small contribution to ask in return for what the men and women in the Armed Forces do all too often without regard for their own safety during a time of war.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped watching the previews for the next episode of #SAMCRO. I have found that I enjoy the anticipation of what will come more than teasing myself with the previews. I guess for that reason I tend not to participate in the fan sites much. I dislike spoilers only slightly less than Musicals! *cough* Glee *cough*...

That’s another sticky point with me! In what fucking Universe does cancelling Terrier’s and Chicago Code, while Glee is renewed, make a bit of sense? It’s almost enough to make me freaking puke! I guess that’s why I’m not a Network Exec. LOL Drifting again but, gotta finish it now. WTF do NBC Exec’s think they are doing? Their lineup sucks year after year and any good shows they could have had they passed on or canned and put more crap on. Can NBC survive much longer?

This started as a simple thank you to all the fans of #SonsofAnarchy and @sutterink for making this trip possible. Sometimes it’s difficult to express how you really feel just saying thanks everyone doesn’t seem enough. Yeah I know, a three page (on Microsoft word) blog post might be a bit much. When it comes to #SonsofAnarchy is anything really too much?

Drug Czar Tells NORML why they can’t legalize Cannabis!

I e-mailed the following query to the President using the "Contact the Whitehouse" page.

Is this what our tax Dollars are being squandered on:

Drug Czar's Office To NORML: 'We Can't Legalize Marijuana Because Some People Abuse Prescription Drugs!' Wait, Huh?

People are going to abuse RX drugs no matter what. I for one have had enough of the wishy-washy, fence sitting, smoke & mirrors act from you! Your vids from your time in the Senate are a big reason why the "Online Community" voted for you. your supposed stance on decriminalizing Cannabis and regulating cannabis for medicinal use or out right legalization.

So when the Citizens of the US vote to repeal the unconstitutional and racist prohibition; what are you going to do? declare martial law? Open concentration camps oh, I mean FEMA Camps with the gas chambers like the NAZI prison camps!

YOU either SERVE "We The People" or resign. We will have an end to the lies every administration has perpetrated and the fraud committed to bilk over a trillion dollars from the US treasury!

And YES I would like a response to these questions. A real response, not some song and dance routine.

 

I am still finding it hard to believe that our elected officials are forcing the taxpayers to pay for a department whose sole purpose is to lie to the public. Between the Democrats on one side and the Republicans on the other side and both parties using as much smoke & mirrors and misdirection as they can to continue feeding off the taxpayers for pet projects, somewhere along the way the Government decided that "We the People" weren't capable of taking care of ourselves. We are not competent enough to make more decisions beyond what food to eat and what clothes to wear. Even those choices are being infringed upon. Every single department under the domain of the federal government has abused their authority so by the federal Government's logic they should be locked up for life for the crimes they have committed against the US Citizens. Fraud, embezzlement, accepting bribes, enacting legislation that is not only in the best interest of the United States as a whole but legislation that is harmful to the citizens and puts them in harms way on a daily basis. The association of Corporations with the government has long been documented and everyone knows that a corporation can't vote but they can buy a politician's vote on specific legislative matters. Look at the recent declaration that several Pharmaceutical Companies faked research data and test results in order to get medications approved by the FDA. The FDA, rather than forcing Big Pharma to correct their underhanded ways, says it's no big deal. A clear case of another department of the federal government acting against the best interests of the citizens. What is truly mind boggling is any attempt to reign in the Feds and put them back under control is blocked by the Supreme Court. Our country has gotten so backward that it isn't funny. We no longer have a Federal Government that functions under the boundaries established by the Constitution. Our Government has become no better than the Governments of other Nations that we have been taught are oppressive and violating the basic civil rights of humanity. Every Administration beginning with the Nixon Administration has attempted to steer our government towards an anti-freedom regime or a police state if you will. Nixon was a CRIMINAL!! Now, how can anything he started be good for the nation? Just look at the war on drugs; EPIC FAILURE! Ever since then the credibility of our country has been tarnished and continues to fade away more and more rapidly. One example, the most recent Budget problems.

To put it into perspective; It's like being shot over 70 times and being offered a band-aid. Really? Are you freaking kidding me? Our elected officials can't get past their pet projects and corporate sponsors to do what they were elected to do? To all the officials in Washington DC, You work for WE the People! The last time I checked corporations are not living breathing beings with the right to vote. DO YOUR JOB AND SERVE THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES! Not the money grubbing corporations! Fix the Budget right, cut all funding to everyone's special little pet projects. Give our Senior Citizens the cost of living raise that they so desperately needed for the past 4 years. And lest but not least Take care of our VETERANS!! Bring them home Osama and Saddam are dead mission accomplished get our people the hell out of those countries.

IF you just can't bring yourselves to disappoint your corporate sponsors or let your pet projects go until you fix the budget properly then just do us citizens a favor and RESIGN FROM OFFICE!!!
That's right I said "Get Out" there are plenty of eager young would be politicians that are just waiting for the chance to get into office and help put the country back together. I can see that if things don't improve greatly, there are going to be worse problems. The type of problems not seen in the US since the Civil War.

Yes, I am eluding to the potential for another civil war or possibly an outright revolution. Look at the former USSR, the more recent uprisings in the middle east. The Citizens of the US are pissed and tired of the two party system where every time the people want change they end up getting the same old worn out, tired policies and agenda's of the party being voted in. I for one want real change! Not Obama's quadruple the nation's debt type of change. Real positive change where we have a balanced budget that works toward paying off the national debt, not just making payments on the interest.

Kurt Sutter Dumps Twitter after flushing Facebook

http://sutterink.blogspot.com/

Talk about pissed! I had read about Kurt's Facebook page getting hacked, but I didn't know he took it down. I had been busy with other things and hadn't been pimping the FB page or @sutterink on twitter as I usually do. I have been gearing up for it though as Season 4 is just around the corner and Kurt had teased the fans & followers with the chance to win Sons of Anarchy merchandise and memorabilia.

So the ever crucial goals Kurt set for the fans to reach, just for the opportunity to be one of the lucky winners, is done I suppose. The pages are gone and that’s that. I am slowly realizing that this could be the reason why I never got into the a show beyond what we see on the TV. I never cared about who was playing whom or any of the writers. I had never heard the term “Show Runner” before getting into pimping @sutterink on twitter and the Facebook page the following season.

I’ve gotten to know the online persona of many people while tweeting about Sons of Anarchy. I was ecstatic when Kurt Sutter took notice of how much effort I put into finding new followers for his twitter feed. I even received a promotional booklet and DVD’s of the first 5 episodes of Season 2. I don’t remember if I ever actually told anyone about it. I didn’t mention it for a while because I didn’t want to upset anyone because I wasn’t even one of the winners. Kurt messaged me and said “email me your address I’m gonna send me some shit.” That was a great day for me.

 

99.9% of the fellow SAMCRO fans that I have tweeted with are great people (in my book) and Kurt Sutter really is a nice guy(Despite his colorful expressions wrapped in profanity and deep fried in vulgarity.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the time that I was going to be promoting @sutterink on twitter. I guess, I can still pimp the blog and and the YouTube videos.

Well, gonna call it a night, 2:33 am and the kids go back to school today! I have to be back up in 3 and 1/2 hours. some days everything just sucks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Mazar Casting Update

http://www.boomtron.com/2011/08/sons-of-anarchy-season-4-mazar-casting-update/

#SonsofAnarchy (the twitter hashtag)

I hate spoilers, especially in production of my favorite TV show. When I accidentally found out that Debi Mazar, whom I follow on twitter, was going to be on #SonsofAnarchy in Season 4 I was so psyched!! and now her spot has been cut due to time constraints....
WTF, "Time Constraints"... I'm sure Kurt Sutter (@sutterink on twitter) did everything he could to get a couple of hours added to the season 4's air time so he could include the beautiful and talented Actress Ms. Debi Mazar. I'm sure he used all of the colorful expletives in his *"vocabularic arsenal" and I'm hoping Katey, Winter, Kristen and Maggie picked up some skateboards and showed the upper level, high muckitymucks a thing or two in the subtle nuances of face-boarding. I would also like to think that Kim Coates and Mark Boone Jr. strapped a network Exec or two to a skateboard and launched them down Cajon pass in an attempt to get the needed air time for Ms. Mazar to appear on the show.  All to no avail.

The good news is that Mr. Sutter has plans to bring Ms. Mazar in just not for this upcoming season. So all is not lost; just set to whet your appetite with further anticipation of what may come

 

*Vocabularic is a word that I just invented! So remember, It’s mine!! MINE!!! All Mine!!!! If you want to use it you must pay me tribute!!

Lindy: "No Knock Raid" - A song about the drug war's deadliest tactic.‬‏ - YouTube

Law Enforcement Officers in the United States use the slogan "to Protect and Serve". Now, to me that used mean they are on the streets to protect Citizens from dangerous criminals and serve to keep the peace. Pretty much ensure no one is infringing upon anyone's rights. Ever Since Richard Nixon Declared a "war on Drugs" that slogan has quickly turned to "protecting themselves and serving the Politicians. Our Judicial System has turned from innocent until proven guilty to pre-trial/pre-arrest court sanctioned Assassination/execution. Even if you are only under investigation; you could be the victim of a "Court Sanctioned Assassination" as the final scene of this youtube video shows. A fellow Marine shot down in what can only be a cold-blooded, Court Sanctioned Assassination. The Cops weren't trying to arrest anyone, the Marine supposedly "may have had" evidence which pertained to an on-going investigation. I have yet to receive any replies from any elected of our "Elected Officials concerning the assassinated Marine, up to and including the President of the United States.

Contact the White House!

 

Tell Obama what you think and how you feel about the Federal Budget game our elected officials are playing! I did and the following is what I said:

 

If you cut all the pet projects, All expense accounts & gov jets. Bring the troops home, We should be done in the middle east by now. End the war on drugs. You said to treat it as a health problem and then up the budget for law enforcement to crack down on sick and disabled patients and eliminate their only access. So eliminate NIDA, they add nothig to the nation. They don't need a huge budget to lie about Cannabis, get real! The DEA can be put into border patrol and investigate smuggling rather than raiding dispensaries. REPEAL OBAMACARE! Force the GOP to end their tax breaks and other give aways to corporations! A 25% pay cut for all elected federal officials. Cancel the pension plan and let them draw SSI like the rest of us and see how they like trying to make ends meet on $900.00 a month! Get a more realistic understanding of what "We the People" are experiencing and you would get more support from the people that are about to vote you out of office!

Long Time, No Blog…

It seems forever since I last added to my blog. Days fly by as if I am a bystander watching everyone else; other days seem the opposite. Patience, it would seem that I have none and yet most of the things I am doing on a daily basis require it. There are days where I have felt that I would be swept away, as if in the rapids of a river and unable to drown; only watch as I am thrust along with the water streaming past rocks and limbs caught up in the current. It's not as though I do not have days where things go well or I feel a reasonable sense of accomplishment. I seldom have days where I feel a greater sense of accomplishment.

Back in grade school, in fourth or fifth grade, we had an assignment, answer the following question: "If I ruled the world…". What does a nine or 10-year-old child answer to that? I always said I did not know what to say in response to the question. As near, as I can remember those types of questions I could have written pages upon pages in response to it. The problem is that my mind would race so fast I couldn't always focus long enough to stick to the topic and somewhere along the way, I would get sidetracked; my mind would wander into what I suppose most would call "their happy place." The difficulty in that is the assignment was forgotten and my page usually still blank when time was up.

To this day, I still have that problem. I really do love to write. Getting my mind to slow down long enough to stay on topic is the hard part. I think that's part of what I like about this blogging experience. I can bounce around and let my mind take me to the limits of my imagination and back again. I suppose it's a good thing no one really reads my blog/s I actually have several if you count notes in facebook, which occasionally are posted to my blog, not always but occasionally I come across something that I just want to post in both places.

I think my writing ability is driven by my emotions. What I mean by that is this; I need to be on an emotional extreme in order to write effectively. I need to let an emotional state consume me whether anger, ecstasy, sadness or bewilderment for some examples. It doesn't make sense to me but then again many things do not. I just accept them as a part of life eventually. Those seem to be when I can focus the most.

Depression is not conducive to writing at all. That seems to be a huge obstacle for me, unless I want to write about depression. That is just depressing in its self. I see the damned advertisements for anti-depressants on TV and god they are mother freaking depressing! I mean who wants to sit and watch a bunch of people showing how depression looks. I could look in the mirror if I wanted that. It doesn't really impress upon me the effectiveness of the medication they are hawking.

BORING!!! Just like this blog post. I usually delete these but this one I am going to post just for the heck of it. This is truly an odd moment as I feel the need to write something, anything. Just tapping random keys on the keyboard would suffice.

I can remember feeling each day when I was a kid not for something good to happen but just for nothing to go wrong. I do not remember many specific days where I felt that way just that left over feeling that seems to overshadow my memories. I do remember too many days where things did go wrong. How could I have ever held on to the thought that things would work out or what ever. I was so naive and gullible. I used to trust people and I learned that was one of my biggest mistakes. Who gets their kicks out of conning people into doing something that is designed to make them look like an idiot or a fool? I honestly hop that there is a special hell for people that get their kicks out of bullying people.

The well of inspiration is drying up. I just caught myself daydreaming rather than writing. So, this is the end of this blog post. Maybe I can find a way to shift my moods away from the Dark side, though they do have cookies.
