WOW. Apparently I’ve really put some bad vibes out over the last few years. It’s biting me in my ass right now, from all over and every person I know. Ouch. It’s OK, I deserve every bit of it. I’ve been a nasty negative person lately, also selfish and self-centered and now I’m paying the price. It’s OK.
So now I’ve been just trying to keep my mouth shut, smile and nod when I’m around people. I can’t even be myself anymore. Anything I say or do gets taken too seriously or the wrong way all together. Or maybe I’m just saying it the wrong way to begin with, when it comes out of MY mouth. Just smile and nod Carol. It’s hard to do. I hate not being able to have an opinion. That’s OK, that is what this blog is for now.
My feelings have become super sensitive lately because I’ve been blasted by everyone in their own way, even my husband. Now it’s like damned if I do and damned if I don’t.
So I will withdraw back into myself. I know how to do this well I just haven’t done it in a while because I thought it was safe to come out and be myself. Apparently not. Apparently I am a nasty person that no one wants to be around.
Smile and nod. Smile and nod.

This blog isn’t exactly new. I created it a long time ago. I was going to remain anonymous but as you can see that didn’t work out. I don’t know what ever possessed me to put my name on this blog but there it is. I created it so I could write how I REALLY wanted to write on topics I REALLY wanted to write about without grief from anyone else, especially from the folks that know me and that I know and whom I may even write about from time to time. Hence the anonymity, but that cover is blown now.
Oh well. And that is why the Tumblr post has been up since October. I’m sick of it though.
If those people happen to stumble upon my blog and read a post that they may find questionable then so be it.
Buckle up or get out.

Why is it that no one is outraged over the senseless and brutal beating death of a 16 year old kid?
The honor roll student known for his love of computers became the third Chicago teenager killed this month. At least seven more have been shot.
Chicago Breaking News Center – read the full story.
Come on people.
I am overwhelmed with guilt for I know I am just as guilty as the next person about the “ME ME ME” syndrome that Facebook and Twitter fuels and allows me a heavy dose of narcissistic escapism. I can easily ignore this story, it is becoming the norm and I just can’t handle so let me stick my head in the proverbial sand of Twitter and Facebook.
And then I read other headlines in regular news outlets and I read about the President trying to do a hard sell for Olympic logistics, about the arrest of a has-been Hollywood director, and then who really gives a flyin’ flip about who dropped the F-Bomb on Saturday Night Live.
I see a future job for the current first lady, Michelle Obama – get on this right now and straighten up your state! Do not tolerate anymore gang violence anywhere. What is her “campaign” anyway? She needs to use that national celebrity status of hers and start something right now about stopping this sadness.

I think I am starting to turn liberal. Say what? Yeah. I know. Weird.
My number one suspicion of such a wild turn of events? This morning on my way into work I was behind a huge ass SUV and I found myself exasperated, for several reasons.
1. I could not see around the damned thing
2. I was somewhat annoyed by the audacity of someone driving a total waste of whatever it is called.
3. which led me to think about the environment
4. and it was just offensive to look at, made me want to barf.
Am I embarking on the road to liberalism? Can it be?
Here are a few more warning signs, in my opinion that is:
5. I don’t like Glenn Beck, I think he is a total ass clown and an embarrassment to the country.
6. I don’t own a gun and never will.
7. I am against the death penalty, you know, since I am pro life and all.
8. I’m not in any sort of tea party and find them to be faux pas
9. I’m not ramming my religion down anyone elses’ throat
10. I’ve unsubscribed and unfollowed some folks
11. I’m embarrassed for Fox News sometimes.
12. I’ve started reading The New York Times.
Yeah, see there? That’s a lot. Damn.
On second thought, I’m not becoming a liberal. I like to call it a free-thinker. An independent. I do not follow Oprah and I do not follow Glenn Beck. That must make me some sort of weirdo. Whatever.

Have you ever outgrown a friendship?
I think I have, several times over, but I am only just now realizing it. The time for me has come to move on. It is difficult to say good-bye to what used to be long time intimate confidantes, bosom buddies, and/or familiar friends.
But, yes, it is time to get on with it, and get on with it, without them.
It’s not that I won’t ever see them, or talk to them, ever again. I will. I just don’t feel the need to be with them on a regular basis anymore. My views and attitudes have changed and opened up maybe? While theirs seem to have stayed the same, and stayed the same on purpose – unwilling to grow.
I’m quite sure they feel the same way about me too. And it’s all OK.

… that this whole other blog of mine is over here tucked away. Heh.
I have a new pet peeve. I know, right? Hard to believe. Whatever.
So my new pet peeve is this – people who feel the need to express their outbursts for their favorite football team and type it out on their Facebook status updates or Twitter, DURING the game.
Facebook status: Touchdown! Go team!!
Facebook status: WOOT! TOUCHDOWN (in this case, in all caps, very aggravating)
Facebook status: TOUCHDOWN, 13-0, WE ROCK, GO COCKS! (so this one uses ALL CAPS, gives me the score, and uses their war chant)
I have a television set of my own and I’m probably watching the same game while browsing and goofing off on my laptop, just as you are doing the same at your house. I don’t need to read your Facebook status updates to tell me someone made a touchdown.
Yes, I know I could unfollow you on Twitter and hide you on Facebook so I won’t have to roll my eyes at reading the borish attempts at FB and Twitter cleverness. While I think it is a good reason to razz you about it, maybe I don’t yet find it all that serious, just yet, to take it to that extreme – to unfollow or hide the culprits. Perhaps I need to just stay away from Facebook and Twitter while college football is on.
Listen, the occasional Facebook/Twitter update with your college football support is all fine and well, I am mainly pointing out the habitual abusers – the ones who feel the need to update every 30 seconds. The drunk status update abusers.
Now the rest of yuns get on out of here and go back to the game and updating your status.

… and my child WILL go to school tomorrow after all.
Why?
Because I stand confident in my beliefs and values and my parenting skills.
My Girl will be fine.
And I’m with The Little Green Footballs who seem to be the only ones left around here with any sense whatsoever!
I will not be led down that road of paranoia that Beck wants us all to fall in line with. The American people are smart. They did after all get Jones off the job, right? Yes, they did.

I’ve been staying quiet for a long time since Barry become the president of the United States. I’ve been staying low, sitting back and watching. However, I have to come out against his next little stunt.
On September 8th, 2009 I pledge to keep my child out of school.
Apparently on this date the President has been invited into our kids’ schools across America to speak about education and ask for a pledge? A pledge to help his agenda. If it was just a pledge to “work hard, set educational goals, and to take responsibility for their learning” then I wouldn’t have THAT much of a problem with it; although I have already been preaching it myself, as a parent, to my children. I really don’t need any help from the Prez in that area. Thanks, but no thanks.
I’m not risking my child being brainwashed by Barry O and his clan. I’m already having to battle the liberal anti-American teachers on my own, thank you very much.
If they, the godless liberals, want to keep PRAYER out of schools then they need to keep politics out of school. With the president coming into the schools across the U.S. it makes me sick to my stomach and it gives me the feeling that he is trying to replace God.
It’s just a bad idea Barry. Just stay away.

I haven't yet figured out some clever remark to put here. I'm still thinking on it.
