What I Hate The Most

   Okay, now that I have completely alienated my audience by posting sparingly, to nothing at all, I am going to force myself to start writing again. For me.
   I was having a lot of fun coming up with ideas to write about and I miss it.   I started becoming the old angry man after the release of my last book because I kept hearing from friends and family that,"I don't read anymore."   So I became,"What I Hate The Most!"   Grumpy about how things have change and I was wishing that they would stay the same.   Wow, it hurts just writing those words down because now, I have to face up to them.   When I started a family and the future was so much more important to me, every morning I would say:Change is inevitable.Change is exciting.Change is good.Look forward to Changeand embrace it.Then you will never be left behind in life.   I did well for myself and my family after I got in the right mindset after saying my mantra every day.   So now it's;    I will be posting again and if I get half the audience I once had I will be extremely happy.BUT,(And isn't there always a butt involved?)I will be posting around twice a week unless the urge forces me to do more!

Enough Already

Enough is Enough!    Every few years or so I receive a "Breakup Mixtape" from some anonymous person.    I've been taking a deep dive on the internet ever since I got the first one maybe twenty-eight years ago!     Yes I looked up "Twirlit" which is a Facebook site that talks about entertainment, today's hot gossip, fashion, beauty, and dating/relationships!    I tried to look up some of the followers to see if there was someone I knew from my past but going through 1.4K Followers sends me down through the rabbit hole of madness.    The problem is, I cannot remember ever breaking up with someone. I was the one always being dumped because of my cavalier attitude towards having a serious relationship.Okay!You won!Remember, you dumped me! This is,I Guess Your Plan Worked Because I'm Going To SayI'm SorryTwoBuckHowie And “After being dumped, I've had more women slap my face when they asked me, "How do you feel now?""It only hurts until the next one.” - James Hauenstein -That is my story and I am sticking to it!Sign up as a Follower or Leave a Comment I would love to hear from you

It Is Never Too Early

No, it is never too early to start thinking, listening, and reading about your Local, State, and Federal Elections. The evil in men and women who would destroy Democracy for their own gains never sleep. They work year-round to reach their goals and not just in an election year. So I feel it is my duty, as it is every citizen, and as it is for every person in their own country to try to stop tyranny and corruption the best way they can. Keeping people ignorant and afraid of the world is how they divide us and control us. Hopefully, instead of just complaining about the state of affairs, people will rise up to Register to Vote and Vote Blue!*****
FieldTeam6
 If you want to do something about it, this organization can use volunteers like you.They will teach you how to go about it and supply you with the resources you need to be successful.Or,if you haven't registered to vote yet, you can do so right onFieldTeam6'swebsite!It's that easy. ***** Everyone knows what's on the Federal Ballots because that is the big news story in an election year. Yet, sometimes, it is impossible to go through all the political mailings you get right before an election, go to regional rallies, or go see your district debates to know who your local and state Democrats are.The easiest way to be informed is to go toBlue Voter Guide."Blue Voter Guide helps you make quick, informed, pro-democracy choices of candidates and propositions by showing what's on your ballot, with endorsements from trusted, forward-looking organizations."

I Am Not Addicted

One of myGrandchildrenstayed over this weekendand if you have read my blog over the years you would know that I always say,"Family comes first."So instead of spending time on the computer,I'm spending my time with him.We had a really good time until he wanted to playMonotony,or I meanMonopoly.We still had a good time playing but I just don't like the game.
Ever since I was a wee little child.It is the only board game that has been in every house that I have ever lived inand I have never bought one of them!
I know Baby Yoda is popular but even he can't use hisJedi Powerson me so I like the game.But,I will play any board game with any of myChildren & Grandchildrenbecause it keeps them away from staring at theirCell Phones,Computer Screens,or playing endlessly on theirGame Consoles!If Silicon Valley Execs Are Raising Their Kids Tech-Freeand they are making millions by getting the average person to look at their tech,there must be something wrong with it.Yeah,It's calledADDICTION! This is,I Would Be Scrolling On My Phone Right NowWhile Typing On My ComputerBut My Phone Needs To Be ChargedTwoBuckHowie
 And I Am Not Addicted!

"Silicon Valley is no longer the valley of innovators who solve problems, it has turned into the valley of resourceful stupidity. They are a bunch of people wasting resources on creating products that do nothing more than fuel the predominant neurosis of consumerism."

If You Believe That, I Have A Bridge That I Can Sell You

   The other day, because I was in a hurry, I was getting gas for my car at one of the more expensive gas stations in the area when I saw a billboard next to the pump I was using that read,We are sick of the high price of gas too!Scan the QR code below to see how we can lower our pricesby lower our taxes!   If you believe that bull$#!t, I own the Golden Gate Bridge and you can buy it right now for only $100,000 dollars as a down payment.   Out of the top five producers in the United States I went to the second record breaking profitable firm which only made 36.5 Billion Dollars last year! Doubling their profits from the year before.   What this means is the CEO of this company had a compensation package worth almost $36 Million Dollars.   Don't get me wrong. I believe everyone should make as much money as they can if someone is willing to pay them. But only if it isn't hurting the average consumer because they can't afford a expensive electric car and have to pay high prices at the pump to make up for the consumers who can. They also shouldn't get paid millions of dollars for affecting our climate, our health, and our children's future.
If you live in theUnited Statesand you think the supposed billionaire
Orange Pumpkin Facerunning forPresidentis going to make everything better for you,stop sending him money because I can offer you theSydney Harbour Bridgefor only $50,000 as down payment.

We Still Need Hackers Like Anonymous

 I have a beef this morning.What ever happened toAnonymous?I know they have a very looseand decentralized command structure,but come on,what have you done for me lately? It would be very foolish to believe that everyone claiming to beAnonymousis trulyAnonymous.Yet,someone has to be. I am all for theirIdealism.I loved it when they took on theKKKandISIS.I even wrote about it.My post
"Anonymous"is about theKKKand I commented onISISin myPostsThe Smuggling Prince, Be Prejudice Against Terrorists - Not A Race, Religion, Or Culture, #OpParis - #OpISIS, #PrayforBelgum - #PrayForPeace,and This Anonymous Comments On My Blog.I believe in what they do,but only when they stand up againstTerrorist,Prejudice,Illegal Business Practices,
Criminal Activity That Hurt The General Public,Political Corruptness,andAll-Around-Douchebags Like Donald Trump!
  They need to beHacked.Still,I haven't heard about them for years.But then again I'm no longer willing to check out theDarknetanymore. 
I am hoping they didn't become like
Wikileaks.Just playing the game for the headlines and are still taking on evil people like Benjamin Netanyahu,Vladimir Putin,Kim Jong Un, 
and that
Douchebag
trying to get back in the
White House!

Still Believing Donald Is A Joke

 Over the years,I have told my children that it is a good idea to read the opposition's referendum.
To take a look at the different
Religious Teachings
the world has to offer,like theBible,the
Torah,
or the
Quran.
That way you will have a better idea why people think the way they do. I have read the
Quran,Mein Kampf,The Communist Manifesto,
and other political
and religious books to see what stirs the hearts ofMen & Women.So,to be fair to ourx-President,I went outand bought a copy ofDonald Trump'sbook;The Art of the Deal.He must have foreseen his future,because the book hasFour Chapter Elevens!

What?????????????
"Tonight we honor a self-made millionaire. He started with nothing, worked hard, and made a fortune ... That man is Fred Trump, Donald's dad. That's right, for all his self-starter bullshit, he's basically Jaden Smith with a comb-over."Seth MacFarlane
"You put up more useless hotels than an autistic kid playing Monopoly."Lisa Lampanelli
"Donald Trump, without a doubt, you're a New York landmark. Which means it's only a matter of time before you bulldoze yourself to build some gaudy, tacky monstrosity and put your name on it."Larry King
"And Donald, I’m not even sure if you’re aware of this, but the only difference between you and Michael Douglas from the movie Wall Street is that no one’s going to be sad when you get cancer."Anthony Jeselnik
"Melania, you look so beautiful tonight. Give her a round of applause. You’ve been such a good sport. So gorgeous. These two are so compatible, because they both yell out Donald’s name when they climax."Jeff Ross
OK,one last joke about our former
President.Asked what his new Foreign Policy is going to be if re-elected,
The x-President said,
"If you mess with the United States, there will be hell toupee!" Jokes are fromComedy Central's RoastofDonald Trumpin 2011.

Use Of Deadly Force

 Wow,has it really been that long since my last post?That's what happens when you are enjoying life.Time flies!

Here is a little flash fiction I wrote for your reading pleasure called;

Use Of Deadly Force!
*****
   "Come on." Umbriel pleads. The self appointed leader of this band of young explorers and the only male out of the three.   "I have zipped down there at least five times before and nothing has ever happened to me."   Cordelia looks to Cressida wide eyed. As if asking the other girl, "What do you think?"   Since Cressida has been Cordelia's best friend since their inception, she can pretty much figure out what Cordelia is trying say with her expressions even though her natural look is to always look wide eyed.   "Well, you know what my parental always says." She replies with a growing smile. "You can only die once, twice, or thrice if you have the financial backing. But you can only live in the moment."   "Your as crazy as he is!" shouts a distraught Cordelia. "I'm not even sure why I hang with you two?"   "Great." Umbriel says, before Cordelia ties to change Cressida's mind. "We'll just go down there for about 50 clicks, buzz the terrain for awhile, and see if we can scare up some of the creatures roaming around the place. We'll be gone before anyone the wiser."   "What about the security circling the place?" exclaims the still distraught, wide eyed Cordelia. "If they catch us we'll all be punished in ways I don't even want to think about."
   "Relax, it's a big world out there and security can't be in all places at once." Umbriel reassures her. He pauses for a click and then, with a smile says, "You can trust me."   Cordelia just stands there wide eyed. Looking back and forth between Cressida and Umbriel.   It's Cressida who breaks the silence by jumping in the air and proclaiming, "Woohoo! Let's go find out what the military is hiding from us!"   They sit back down in their seats, strap in, and slowly head towards the quarantine area.   After a transverse of about half an astronomical unit, flashing red lights automatically start a stroboscopic effect on their dashboard, warning them of impending danger. On their viewing screen pops up a sign that reads:     Cordelia exhibits her surprise and fright by making a little chirping sound. Cressida beamingly laughs. And Umbriel authorizes the spacecraft to pick up speed. Then says, "Planet Earth. Here comes another, what you creatures like to call, a UFO!"    This time Cordelia laughs apprehensively while wide eyed.

For Your Enjoyment

I overheard a conversation between aFatherand hisTeenage Daughtertoday. The Father asked, "Did you study for your English exam?" She answered, "Dah!" The Father then asked, "OK. What are the vowels in the alphabet?" The Daughter replied, "ahh...eh...I...oh...you...money....sometimes....why are you asking?" The Father, "Close enough." I believe,
that in this World,
every person has a soul mate!And if I ever find mine,
my wife will kill her! When I would ask my Mom if I could have the car when I was a teenager still living at home,the last thing she always said to me before handing me the key was,"Children in the backseat can cause an accident.Accidents in the back seat can cause children." If I eatPasta and Antipastiwill I still be hungry? Ever since Father Hoff at Saint Mary's Grade School fed us chocolate covered ants as a joke one day,telling us they were full of protein,
I am no longer willing to eat insects in this lifetime no matter what the cows are doing to the atmosphere!I'll become a veterinarian first!   While living in Wisconsin one of my best friends was Scott.The funny part was that we were going bald roughly at the same time.It was a good thing too,because when we put our heads together,we could really make an ass out of ourselves!

One Of My Favorite Quotes From One Of My Favorite Books

   I remember thinking at the time when I bought this book that it wasn't going to be very entertaining. It was during my High School days and I just finished reading the Hobbit. I thought nothing could compare to that book. Plus, who hasn't heard the story about King Arthur over and over again growing up in North America?   Take my word for it. I was wrong and this book stills holds up well today.This is,I Haven't Done A Book Review For A Long TimeIt Shows
 Because I Never Explained That It Was A Story About The Life Of King ArthurJim Hauenstein And  “I wonder," he said at last, "whether they will remember about our Table?” - T.H. White - That is my story and I am sticking to it!
