Have you ever slept so hard that when you woke up you found a dried spot of drool on your arm? Maybe the spot was still wet? Maybe you were disturbed by someone’s snoring but when you woke you were the only person in the room. Maybe? Nope, me neither but there are many out there who have and we must not judge or criticize them. Let those drooling snoring losers I mean people live in peace. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go to bed. I’m up at 5AM because people found it necessary to call me all through the night to celebrate some sort of historic moment. Evidently there was some sort of landslide win where one guy got his butt royally kicked and out voted. It had something to do with a tall skinny guy and a short old guy with short arms who likes to give the thumbs up. I don’t remember all the details though. I do remember the fireworks outside and people literally dancing in the streets. I suppose after I’ve had a good night of drool-less silent sleep I’ll remember. All I know is some little old guy who likes to wage war got his butt kicked. I believe in slang terms one could say he was ” electorally bitch slapped.” Anyway, it’s under the covers for me. I’ll figure it all out later.
A Silent Dry Night - Wednesday, November 05, 2008-5:05AM EST
I think the bad weather cleared up enough so that this weekends festivities could go on. So much is going on in Indy this week end it’s not even funny. There’s the Jazz Fest, the Pride Fest and the Juneteenth celebration which all took place yesterday. I wanted badly to go to the Juneteenth celebration but there were just too many people. I wanted to go for the history of it cause well, I’m a history buff. All the festivities took place downtown where there was no major flooding that would take weeks or days to drain and dry. The area I’m in is getting better. I really hope we get at least today without rain. That would be very nice.
In reference to the Pride Fest my roommate asked me why it is that the majority don’t have a festival. I told him if there was a heterosexual pride festival it would be boring and uneventful so much so that you’d stop the “festivities” and come to the other side of the street (pun intended.) He kept calling himself “the majority.” I smiled and said, “Barney, as a heterosexual white male you’re a minority.” A mischievous grin spread on my face. He kept quiet and drove us home.
I think by now everyone has heard that Tim Russert died. I was sitting at McDonald’s when the report came in. They interviewed several people about his life and things along that line. As the report went on I noticed something, I have a hard time telling the reporters a part. They all look so much alike that it’s hard to tell them apart. Brian Williams was reporting Tim’s death but he looks so much like Peter Jennings it’s not even funny. Tom Brokaw will eventually have the Walter Cronkite look to him. Look, everybody but Tim Russert (the first picture) all have the same haircut. Is this a standard in the industry? They all have the same forehead. Three of them smile straight, three have a crooked smile and Mike Wallace has a smile that says, “I may be psychotic.”

A major concern in the city right now is an increase in child abductions and attempted abductions. Right now we have a man on the loose who has attempted to snatch 2 girls off their bus stop. The man was described by both girls with really close descriptions. Both girls fought hard to get away and both got away without being harmed. They were brave in that they went to their mothers who in turn called the police to report the crime. Everyone is on edge about our schools now, not just because of abductions but because of recent health issues such as meningitis and TB break outs in our schools. It seems going to school isn’t safe on any level. Now we’re worrying about sending our little girls on the bus stop basically in front of the house. I don’t know if there’s a person in this city so fed up with crime and so fed up with hearing how unsafe our children are on many levels.

The perpetrator in this crime held a toddler by box cutter during a police standoff. After the police went in and safely removed the child they found the remains of another child who they believed to be a child missing for some two years. The child missing is the perpetrator’s child. The very next night’s news came on and said the identity of the remains is the child missing. I stopped to listen as the reporter went on to tell us that our criminal served time for child molestation as well as battery and a whole host of other crimes. Of course viewers were ready for justice. I mean come on, we’re about to take a child molester off the street again and we’re going to get him on murder charges. We’ll never see the likes of this guy again. The cornier then came on and said that the way the remains were stored mummified the body making cause of death easier to detect. He said it was heart wrenching to know the remains he examined belong to a child. Next they cut to the reporter who rattles off all the charges on the perp. He then said something that floored me. He said 100% accuracy for the identity of the child could take up to 2 weeks. The news report ended.

Your article on the death of poor black child turned football player is only partially correct. While statistics do point to the fact that a black man pulled the trigger and statistics do show that violence between blacks is high you seem to have overlooked a strong point concerning this “black on black violence” or as you said the “Black KKK.” I find the term “black on black” violence to be rather strange. I find it odd that the study of black on black violence even exists and that people try to prove their own little points with those statistics. Let me ask you this? How many times in the US news do you hear the phrase “white on white violence” “Hispanic on Hispanic violence” “Arab on Arab violence”? You don’t, those phrases don’t exist. You might be saying, it’s because they don’t kill each other at the rate we do. My point is this, when you use phrases like “black on black” you single us out as a group saying that our biggest enemy is us, that stats say we can’t turn our backs on one another, that our biggest concern in life isn’t morally based but colour based. Our own people are the ones we should worry about. Such phrases as “black on black violence” are set up as morale killers and are also part of the whole propaganda scheme our people continue to stay in an uproar about.
You, sir, are as guilty as others when it comes to propaganda but yours is quite subtle. It appears to be for racial unity and advancement but when you toss in your stats and your quotes like “Does Soulja Boy want an education?” and “Black KKK” you find yourself guilty of pressing forward the idea that we as a racial group have ourselves to fear and have ourselves to blame for falling behind as an ethic group.
My other concern with your article is this, you said that students back in the 60’s risked their lives to go to school but we can’t get our kids to go now. Shame on you for saying such a thing. What has been handed to them on a silver platter has not been handed to them without conflicting ideas of trust and equality. Changes in the books doesn’t mean trusting that any real changes will come in their life or that they’ll have an equal chance on a leveled playing field. Might I remind you that we as a people have only recently begun to have open freedoms that we don’t lose our life for? For instance, as an ethnic group we were not legally able to vote until 1965. For 42 years we have LEGALLY been able to vote, voting SAFELY didn’t come for years upon years later. My point is that things change on the books but public life and private life changes take much longer. A person can legally be given an opportunity but privately see that opportunity as a threat or a waste of time because its real benefit might be undermined by others. I can vote legally but can I vote safely and equally and have it count, be worth something? Private influences and change on a private level prevents people from accepting silver platter opportunities. This phenomenon of change and acceptance without influence crosses all ethnic boundaries.

“Where two or more usernames are gathered, that’s where my spirit will be.” Evidently the scripture has been re-written so that people can justify going online to punch in their confessions. I’ve heard of all sorts of religious gatherings but this one takes the cake, for now. Tomorrow there will be some other faster track or to quote Ann Coulter, some other “Fed Ex” Christian way of doing things. It seems the upset isn’t that people are confessing online but that the online confession sites aren’t secure so people’s secrets and sins are getting out. You mean to tell me people that go online to confess actually believe the site is hack free? If government sites can be cracked why wouldn’t a confessional have the same and more security risks? There is nothing sacred, nothing completely safe from hackers on the net. So now people’s secrets and sins are out and they’re mad. Resisting the temptation to hack into an online confessional proved too much for some, but no worries, they’ll go to a different site and confess their hacking sins.
The problem, you guys, isn’t the security of such sites but how people want things easy for them. My thought is this, if you can spend 2 hours at Starbucks you can drop by to confess. If you can spend a few hours at a basketball game or a football game you might be able to find a bit of time to drop by for a quick confession.

Well, Super Cop is doing security for the Governor and some big shot judge tonight. I think they might be watching the State of The Union or something. I don’t know. I don’t like the new Governor cause the jackass seems to have a problem with weight and smokers. I happen to be a fat smoker. He doesn’t just seem concerned about weight, he seems obsessed with it. The commercials he’s put out aren’t anything but fuel for those who laugh at us. He proposed the other day to increase tax on cig’s by 25 cents per pack. It didn’t pass, thank goodness! It seems that this state is becoming like the Republic of Massachusetts. It’s just about as bad here when it comes to smoking and other things that say, Californian’s take for granted. LOL.
A friend of mine says that if we Midwesterners knew half of the stuff Bush does we’d flip. Evidently he choked on a pretzel and had to go to the emergency room. Okay then! And he fell off his bicycle too. Poor oaf. I hear he talks to God and God talks back. Maybe God calls him from Mars and tells George that George should explore the possibility of moving to Mars. In my opinion, this recovering alcoholic psychotic moron is already on Mars! There are few times in my life that I’ve looked at a man, a human being and thought to myself, this man is a fool. When I see George Bush I see a fool. When I look at our Governor I see a man with some serious issues. I don’t see a fool, just a man I wouldn’t even consider guarding. God bless ya Mic. With the proper training I could do what you are doing but, well, I wouldn’t.
I was quite impressed with the T today. She has a social conscience. It’s not that I didn’t think she did, we just never touched on anything like that before. I was quite impressed.
