Astronauts + Lots of Booze = NASA Space Program

Funny thing happened this morning, I was getting up...all groggy and what not from my solid 8 hours of sleep when I turned on the T.V. The first thing I hear is, "NASA is investigating allegations by medical examiners that Astronauts were too drunk to board shuttle prior to take off but proceeded anyway." I lost it, I was actually laughing out loud hysterically. What do you think the tell tale sign that they were drunk was?? Could it have been when the astronauts were pissin on the side of the shuttle trying to write their names or perhaps the ever incessant question while on their way to space, "Where's those directions to Uranus?? (hehehe in the background)"

I just want to know where NASA is finding these people. I mean first, you've got that crazy lady who drives halfway across the country wearing diapers to kill someone...let me repeat that, wearing DIAPERS for 900 miles, she must have been really angry. Now we've got these frat boys lining up to fly a piece of machinery worth millions of dollars and sitting on hundreds of thousands of pounds of the most combustible substance on earth. I know things can be more fun after a few cocktails but I think they might have taken this a little too far. My only other burning question is, what type of drink would you have if you were going to fly a space shuttle??? Me, I think I'd start with a Flaming Dr. Pepper and then beer it up with some Old Style, lots and lots of Old Style.

Putting Fingers Where They Shouldn't Be

Here's something I just don't get...
When having the option to moisturize ones lips why in the heck would you want to do so with a dirty finger compared to apply through means of a stick.

I noticed this in action last weekend as my sister pulled out her "tub" of lip balm in the car and used her finger after just being a restaurant, handling doorknobs, money and the like. The funny thing was though, later, as we were at a concert she proceeded to use the same lip balm but put the canister to her lips this time instead of using her finger. If thats the case, why not just stick with Suzy Chapstick it seems to me its the same crap just in various degrees of sanitation applicators.
Oh yea a side note to this chapstick debacle is, why is it that females always share their lip balm too. If I had a lip balm cannister which I don't, there's no way in hell I'm letting somebody elses grimy finger dip into mine, but apparently that doesn't bother most females, why?? Something to ponder I guess.

What's wrong with this picture??!!!

Sorry for the lack of postings, between re-re-finishing our basement to being immersed in Harry Potter I've put this by the wayside. However, this morning something popped up again that's really chapped my ass.

If you haven't already heard the already the infamous Lindsay Lohan has been arrested yet again for D. D. and being in possession of a possible controlled substance, which this morning tested positive for cocaine. This is what really pisses me off. The rest of us in the civilized world when we get a few to many cocktails in us, think that the logical thing to do is have someone DRIVE US HOME...yes we often argue over the expensiveness of taking a cab or having to call someone but more often than not logic prevails. Unfortunately from what I've witnessed from these high rolling idiots is that contrary to public opinion, you can't use your money to make you smarter.

These idiots who keep running into the same problems have enough money to higher the President to drive them around in a new expensive car every month yet they keep wanting to do it themselves. The words escape me to describe this stupidity. I guess it must be nice not to have to worry about your actions when you go out.

Another sad but funny thing about this whole deal is that she just got out of rehab within the last couple of weeks. Everyone's entitled to make mistakes, I know I've been lucky when I shouldn't have but here's the difference I've learned from mine from my mess ups. The problem I see with these people in "high society" that we are continually hearing about is that they seem to refuse to take responsibility for themselves. Whether it's Lohan or that moron Paris, it seems if your in that strata, ignorance is bliss and responsibility is for the next guy.

I know this just scratches the surface of when stupid people get more stupid but keep tuned in, there's more to come. Laters

First of Many (unless I get lazy)

I've always been a sucker for peer pressure so here it is, I've finally started something on the internet. Much like my good friend Todd refused to jump on board the cell phone freight train that has ravaged the world, I felt the same way about jumping aboard something that dealt with posting stuff on a blog or myspace or various other methods out there.

But here I am thanks in part to my lovely wife whom I saw become addicted to her facebook account when she first started it a little short of a year ago. It was really funny to me to watch her get so addicted to something I would have never thought she would find fun. SO, I thought if she could do it so could I! It's great to have a place where you're not limited to what you want to say or how you want to say it, it's like WIkipedia!! Without further or do lets begin the first of what I hope to be many rants..

If you haven't had the opportunity watch "To Catch a Predator" on Dateline NBC do it. Miranda and I have had the opportunity to watch a few episodes and it is striking how many really jacked up creeps there are lurking in every corner of society. What I like about this show is that it opens up a world that is so rarely talked about about and worse, a world that in my opinion doesn't have the correct means of punishment for the sick individuals it contains.

If you haven't seen it, the skinny of it is that NBC sets up an internet sting operation to catch creeps who come to a house in order to prey sexually on a child. One of the things that this show really gets the point across is that these sexual deviants are lurking everywhere and they could be someone we care about or trust, not that you shouldn't be trusting of people close to you rather to realize this sickness takes on all forms. It's crazy to see the types of people who show up after talking to the decoy, some it's sad to say you could easily peg as a sexual deviant but others I couldn't have guessed for a million bucks. Some are doctors, lawyers, Rabbis, Pastors, counselors, brothers, fathers and husbands.

FOr one it really makes me sick to think about what their motives are. Many of these guys have wives and children who are the same age sitting at home while they willingly went out to fulfill a selfish, disgusting, despicable, and intolerable desire that they chose to have. Another thing that really bothers me about this who debacle is that more often than not these people will get a slap on the wrist for their actions, minimal jail time and fines.

The majority of these sickos you have to know, it wasn't their first time doing this. There obviously is a trend with these types of individuals, which is why i feel that just sticking them in a jail just to be let out to do it again will never solve the problem. Hey, I've got a solution; chop their balls off!! I'm not joking when I say this either, it really pissess me off that no matter how many honest, trustworthy, compassionate people there are out there, there will always be those who choose to steal away others innocence. I know what some of you might be saying, those people will do it anyways no matter the consequences. However for "Larry" who's someone who gets caught for committing in my mind a horrific act that a child will have to deal with for his or her whole life, having his balls cut off will matter to him and hopefully affect his and others decisions in the future. We're not talking about the death penalty here (although for many that could be a viable argument) were talking about taking away something that aids in the desire to commit these crimes.

I feel that one of the only ways to deal with creeps not only at home but abroad is to be pro-active. As Americans often times we can be so ignorant to the terrible things that happen all throughout the world specifically when the issue is underprivileged or hurt children. Whether it's the sex trade or internet predators what we're doing now to prevent this from happening isn't working as well as it should and it is up to us to make a stink so that someone will smell it!!!

Wow... I don't think I wrote this much in college...I could probably keep going but I know the most of you aren't on summer break, in the future I'll try and keep em to a minimum...laters
