With this whole mosque debate going on and about how close it could be built to Ground Zero, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the subject. We practice freedom of religion in this country. We have the right to practice whatever religion we choose. So from a legal standpoint, the mosque should be allowed to be built. But that being said, it is an absolute slap in the face of Americans everywhere to build this. It is the ultimate in disrespect. And in my opinion, it is clearly being built for one purpose: to provoke us. I think my Dad said it best when he said “They can build that Ground Zero mosque the day that Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of those hard line Muslim countries allow a Christian church or Synagogue to be built without obstruction on their turf.”
While freedom of religion is “practiced” in the US, it is done within our laws. But in a global view of things, I can’t say I’m for freedom of religion. If freedom of religion means I have to be cool with a group who mistreats women by cutting their noses off or stoning them to death as forms of punishment, then I guess I’m against freedom of religion. So sue me. There is something really jacked up when a religion is cool with something as heinous as honor killings. Screw that. I know I’m pointing the finger at Islam, but I feel this way towards any religion that violates human rights. That goes for the Catholic church and their child abuse scandals, as well as any cults or wackos like David Koresh.

Anyway, I hope I’ve gotten my point across. But one more knock against Islam. If Islam is keeping girls like this girl in the video under wraps, then I’m even more against freedom of religion. Not cool.

So this morning I checked my inbox and found a couple of emails from friends asking what was up with the last email I sent them. That was a great question, since I sent no email. But after taking a closer look at things, apparently I did send them an email. Or at least it was generated from my Gmail account. One that had a link for a website in it. A website that specialized in a little blue pill.
So let me apologize to any friends that may have received the piece of spam that proclaimed super cheap deals on viagra. Or at least that’s what my Dad told me the email was for. Can you imagine your Dad thinking he has just received an email from one of his kids suggesting a cheap deal on viagra? Not cool. I also apologize for anyone else that got that spam from my email address, since apparently whatever douchebag hacked my account went in and sent this spam to anyone and everyone I have ever emailed from that Gmail account. That includes family, friends, friends of friends, acquaintances, people I no longer associate with anymore, companies I’ve written complaints to, etc.
So needless to say, I’ve changed my Gmail password in the hopes that it resolves the spamming crap. However, if you did receive one of those spam emails from me and you did get a good deal on viagra, how about some props?… No?… Anyone?…. (crickets)

It’s no secret. I have no love for PETA. Anyone that knows me even just a little bit knows this much about me. Personally, I’m an animal lover. But I don’t hold the life of an animal above human life, and that is one of the biggest things that would never allow me to support PETA. That, and a whole batch of other reasons. Such as they are a bunch of hypocrites. Also, the label “domestic terrorists” comes to mind. The list can go on. But instead of me ranting, I can share with you the illustration below. This is right on target! I hope people out there who are animal lovers realize they don’t need to support this piece of crap organization.
So, to sum it up, I despise PETA. However, they aren’t without some redeeming qualities. Those qualities are this, this, and this. And that’s about it.
But then they make a nasty ad like this. And I wish them to go to hell. Sorry about sharing that last one, but I had to make a point.

So I went to a happy hour last night. Which then turned into happy hours. Having a good time, shooting pool, downing a few drinks, enjoying the company of friends, etc. Everything you need to result in a good time! Of course as you have a drink or two… or several more, the urge to relieve yourself hit you. So after losing what was probably my 4th straight game of pool, to a girl, I decide it’s time to pay a visit to the men’s room. As soon as I walk in there, I look over and think to myself, “dammit”.
I’m not a fan of bathroom attendants. When I go to the restroom, I just want to take care of what I need to take care of and that’s that. I don’t need anyone there to turn on the faucet for me and squirt soap in my hands. And of course they do this and expect a tip for it. Jeez. Half the time I’m not even carrying cash. When it comes to tipping a waitress or bar tender, I put it on my credit card. I don’t want to have to ever plan for bathroom attendant tips. I think I will boycott any bars that have bathroom attendants from here on out. Am I the only one that is annoyed by these guys? Do they have a female version in the ladies room??
This got me thinking about other annoying professions. So I ranked my top 5:
- Bathroom Attendants (still pretty freshly annoyed from last night)
- TSA Employees (seems like they all have a chip on their shoulder)
- Car Salesman (just back off and let me look at the car, will ya?)
- Telemarketers (no need to explain)
- Tech support that can’t speak English (these guys make me want to punch something)
I intentionally left out politicians since that is an obvious one and by default nobody likes those imbeciles. Did I miss any?

So yesterday as I was watching The Masters, I had to chuckle as I witnessed Tiger’s meltdown. Usually, I don’t really care that much about golf. Especially not enough to waste precious television time on it. But I tuned in for the sole purpose of rooting against Tiger. Did I root against him because of all the cheating he did on his wife? No. Anybody with that much fame and money would do the same. So if that’s not the reason why I was rooting against Tiger, then what was? This video answers that question:
The voice you hear is that of Earl Woods, Tiger’s father. He died in 2006. In the video, he is pretty much scolding Tiger. Asking him if he learned anything. Seriously? You had to bring in your dead father to try to make yourself look good?? And Tiger with his pouty face. Are we supposed to feel sorry for this guy? Whatever, Tiger. You officially suck. And Nike can go to hell to for this crap. Using a deceased man to try and save the golden boy. Nice try. I hope it doesn’t work.
Does anyone think there really is such a thing as sex addiction? If so, I’m a sex addict. I love sex, so I must be addicted to it, right? I’m waiting for the day that one of these celebrity schmucks stands up and takes his lumps like a man instead of always blaming something else and going to rehab. I’ll be waiting for a long time…

My mind is saying “yes”, but my body is saying “no”.
Let me start by saying I had an awesome time skiing! I should have done it a loooong time ago. I did a lot better than I thought, even with all the countless falls and humiliation from 8 year-olds skiing up to me and asking if I was ok. Damn kids. I will definitely go again the next time the opportunity presents itself. It was fun and and made even better by the group of people on the trip. Good times, good times…
That being said, my hip is effin’ killing me! I don’t know what exactly I did to it, but it definitely happened on the slopes. I was sore from a lot of places during the trip, but as aches and pains have subsided from muscles used that probably never had been, one pain lingers: my right hip. It feels like something wants to pop every time I stand up from sitting down. It’s not excruciating, but it’s a steady pain that Advil isn’t having much of an effect on. So what would be the smart thing to do? Probably rest it, right? Nah. What did smart guy do tonight? I played volleyball like a dumb-ass. WTF was I thinking???
All that jumping from volleyball made the pain much worse. How stupid was that? Not the stupidest thing I’ve ever done, but it’s up there. Easily in my top 20. Anyway, I will be popping some more pain killers before bed and rubbing some Icy Hot in that area. Why Icy Hot you ask? Because at this point, I’ll try anything. I’m thinking that if I don’t show some improvement by Thursday, then maybe I’ll need to pay a visit to the doc. And I avoid going to the doc as much as possible, so you know I’m not messing around.
Obviously, I’m not growing old gracefully. Sadly, my ego is writing checks my body can’t cash. I wonder how I would be feeling if this happened 10 years ago. How fast would I bounce back? Would I even miss a beat? I’ll never know. What I do know is that it hurts to put pants on. Which makes me think that I should go pants-less this week. Pants are overrated anyway…

If you are anything like me, you probably have a junk email account. An account that you use for those situations that demand an email address but that you don’t really have much interest in what they send you. Well, I was going through my junk email account when I came across this.
I participated in a garage sale a couple of weekends ago. And to help generate some traffic, I posted the garage sale on Craigslist. So a couple of days ago I came across this gem in the old junk mailbox. Was I sure I had to sell my “garage sale”? Yes. I was. God I hate spammers. But I hate spammers even more when they don’t even try. I’m sure the article you wanted me to read was very compelling, Larissa (if that is your real name), but instead of me clicking on that link, how about you go to hell instead? Sound good?
So if any spammers would like to email someone dumb enough to ask me if I really want to sell my “garage sale”, please email “Larissa” at larissabchrd@gmail.com. She would love to have some email sent her way.

Ever notice how infomercials are so negative? I haven’t. Because I won’t watch any. And if a commercial comes on, I just tune it out. Or maybe it’s more like I black out. Either way, the message isn’t received. Why do hate them? Let’s see…
- The over-acting.
- The exaggerations.
- The crappy products.
- The poor video quality.
- The negativity.
- The scare tactics.
The video below pretty much sums it up.
So yeah, infomercials can go straight to hell. But I’ll cut a little slack for the Shamwow guy. Not because I will ever get a Shamwow (never say never, right?), but since I’ve been cooking a lot lately, I can really use a Slapchop.
