Our Government at Work...


Let us begin....

On CNN News this afternoon there was a report of the government giving Muslim's in Iraq citizenship for joining OUR military. That's right folks, I said OUR military. The AMERICAN military.. Tell me if I have this correct... They hijack our planes in 2001, kill thousands of our fellow americans and now we are inviting them to join our military and learn our war tactics? WTF. This genius plan coming right after the Nov. 5th shootings in Fort Hood, Texas. The so called "friendly" fire (soldier on soldier) in Fort Hood came from none other than, you guessed it.. A Muslim by the name of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. He killed 12 of our men and women and wounded 31!!

In an artical that I found interesting it says that , " In 2007, Hasan urged that Muslims in the U.S. Army be allowed to claim conscientious objector status when it comes to fighting other Muslims in war. "It's getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims." he stated.

He also went on to add "Muslim soldiers should not serve in any capacity that renders them at risk to hurting/killing other believers unjustly."

To this I say... FUCK YOU! If you're a Muslim that is a citizen of this country and you don't want to defend us against other Muslims that are NOT citizens, then don't fucking join our military or you can just get the fuck out of our country!!!!


Obama is more worried about offending the sensibilities of a country that declared war on us than he is about the safety of this nations people or our government. When did being politically correct become more important than our children's future? I know, why don't we let men from a country that hates us become a part of our military so that they can learn everything that we do to protect and defend ourselves in times of crisis. That is a GRAND IDEA. Why doesn't the government just blow us up now and save other countries the hassle of doing it later? Bc that what is going to happen if things continue the way they are.

Or here is a better idea. WHY DON'T THE AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTE INTO OFFICE SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY GIVES A GOOD GODDAMN ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE?

Brought to you by..




Tonight's insomnia is brought to you by several cups of coffee after 9 pm. Smart I know, yet I find myself unable to supress the need or want for it. I was feeling rather tired today and had a passing thought around 8:30 of trying to fall asleep. But I figured I wasn't going to actually fall asleep anytime soon anyway so what the hell, it couldn't hurt. As of late I haven't been able to fall asleep before at least 3am or so. The lack of sleep hasn't had very much of an effect on me besides getting up in the morning and looking run-down. I am currently unemployed through not fault of my own (this economy sucks severely) and while I know I should be on my "game" and "putting myself out there" I find myself lacking the energy and gumption to get out there and actually be a productive human being. Managing a doctors office was was educational and boring and I find sitting on my ass all day is much more enticing. While I'm usually not a lazy person having the couch hold me in an upright position most of the day serves as a reminder that I suck at life. You would think that would put a fire under my ass, but alas, no fire of any kind, not even a spark.


Instead of getting up and looking for a job I spend my time between babysitting a friends children, browsing the internet, worrying about men and my favorite of them all... trying to get through the fucking holidays without having some sort of mental breakdown! The last three years of my life have been a challenge to live at best, arduous at worst. The holidays for me have become nothing more than bittersweet memories of the past coupled with an intense depression that jumps on board for the ride. Where there were once squeals of delight on Christmas morning, I awaken to a deafening silence. That silence taunts me; laughs at me, pokes fun at my emptiness. Where I once had smiles and joy I now have tears and heartache. It's the cruelest of all jokes. I wonder if God looks upon me and laughs at his grand joke, or if He feels the anguish, bitterness, grief and suffering that I live with.

I blame this time of year for my lack of employment. I need someone or something to blame instead of myself. If I shoulder the blame for one more thing I just may lose it. I'm talking the kind of "losing it" that you hear about on the 6 o'clock news while you're minding your own business, making the perfect little dinner for the perfect little children and the perfect cheating husband that you lovingly resent.










*I will not "lose it". I am made of stronger stuff than that. I will not give M the satisfaction of seeing the pain he has knowingly caused.

**while actually written early this morning I did not get around to publishing it until now.

The First...

You inspire me to seek the words that have been so long forgotten. They come now with such an urgency that my mind and my pen cannot contain them a moment longer.

These words speak of friendship, of love lost to youthful naivety, of a trust so profound and deep that it has never again graced my life. These words heal as a truth inside of me that has long lain dormant begins to blossom and grow. They take root and give hope where there was doubt.

The fires that once burned brightly but were suffocated by life are now re-ignited. It is beauty and love. It is kindness and hope. It pulls forth a faith that is as simple and honest as it is pure. It is strength and mercy, courage and grace.

In your smile there is a truth that cannot be denied. In your eyes, a light that puts the moon and stars to shame. Your whisper of love can be heard through the softly swaying trees on an autumn day.

It is what was. What brings joy and an undeniable hope - a hope that is now unstoppable back into my life. The words that were once forgotten, that have come back with such clarity and love, simply put, is You.
