Another Thursday
I have a lot of studying to do to finish up my degree. The first part of this year, until at least the start of school next year will all be self study. It’s going to take a lot of my time, but I’m feeling the crunch to get it done. That and since I’m in the National Guard here, they cover 100% of my tuition. That’ll actually help me get back on my feet and get my bills paid, with my GI Bill. It is nice to know that I’ve paid enough of my bills down that now only half of my debt is student loans, instead of where it was a year and a half ago, where it was only 20% of my total debt.
A note to anybody out there that ever thinks about getting married. Know that it is a commitment to another person, or person’s if you have children, but also know that it is a business decision, and like all business decisions, it has to be completely monitored. I fell into the trap by letting my ex handle all of the finances and was pressured into not even paying attention to them, and I’m paying for it badly. My credit is destroyed, I can’t open a bank account until FY2010….and dealing with creditors and credit reporting agencies isn’t fun. You can guarantee that if you have one negative thing they’ll report it, but the 100 positive things that you do to fix it won’t be reported for at least a year, if not longer. Don’t worry about me though. Even though I’m pissed about the situation I’m in, and the mountain I see that I have to climb to get back on top is big, I’m going to do it. It’s just a nice long walk where I have to watch every step of the way and not get carried away.The other big thing that’s driving me up the wall is dealing with the ex, and specifically about seeing my daughter. I’d really enjoy seeing her for half the summer, since I won’t be able to see her for the rest of the year. I didn’t get to see her at all last year because I was gone…I just plainly miss my little girl. I’m trying to get half the summer, and her mom is saying, well, maybe you can have her a month. I don’t know if I could be away from her even for a day, but I’ll try a month. What the fuck….When I was married to her she spent 6 days of the week out with whoever, and never saw her daughter, spent the 7th day sleeping off the hangover and didn’t’ want to be bothered. When I finally left, I had my daughter no less than 75% of the time, and a lot of days she was at her moms she stayed at a sitters. Then the accident where I had my little girl for damn near a month and her mom wouldn’t even talk to her….Here’s the difference though…when I had my little girl, I was still paying her full child support. I have my daughter now, I won’t have to pay her. I don’t think I should have to anyways, since I’m the one that has to pay for getting her out here and back home. I wonder if I had the money to pay off the ex, would she be able to part with her little girl for those extra couple weeks? I could almost guarantee it.
Then I have her tell me, “I want you to be a part of your daughter’s life” (like it’s only her decision), then have her take her out of my life as much as possible. I guess I could have appeased her by staying close, not having a job, and living in a buddy’s basement. Oh, but wait, I wouldn’t be able to pay child support, so then I wouldn’t be able to see my little girl…
Don’t worry about me, I’m just stewing because there isn’t anything I can do.Just goes to show you that no matter how good you try to live your life, you’ll never get ahead. No matter if you go out of your way to do the right thing, someone is out there to screw you just because it’s their nature to screw people.
Ok, so now that I’ve vented, what are the good things happening. There are plenty. Jessica and I are getting settled, we’re getting the typical home things like a new washer/dryer, a new bed, pretty much finished getting the kitchen and dining stuff. The job, although it’s hectic, is fun. I am studying, my brother is coming up in two weeks to visit, and Jessica and I are expecting a child ;) Grace, Jess’s daughter, is being a very smart 3, and being rebellious as 3 year old girls are apt to do. I think she’s getting a little more comfortable with me too, and that’s nice. Well, I have work to get done. I’ve wasted my allocated half hour typing this up.“Long live Islam. Destroy Denmark. Destroy Israel. Destroy George Bush. Destroy America!”
I wonder how the other Islamic people in the world that don’t seem to be taken up in the cartoon mayhem view their counterparts that are. There are no riots about cartoons in the Balkans, where there is a significant Islamic presence. There aren’t any in the U.S., where again a significant Muslim community exists. I’m curious as to what they really want?
I’m curious as to how destroying all these countries is going to make them feel after it’s all done. I’m thinking it’s silly to go and destroy the most liberal country in the world, Denmark. Hell, even I don’t want to go and kill a country of hippies.
It’s a little silly. First, even though they don’t like us, we are a major importer of the only good they sell. You destroy your market share, well, you’re destroying any livelihood you have. It’s not as if you can market Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Syria, et cetera, as a prime tourist spot.
Darwinism?
5 months ago, a cartoon artist did what cartoon artist’s do…drew something that makes fun of someone else…he/she brings up issues via perception using stereotyping…and it’s funny. Someone might take offence to it, and get a little miffed, but then, the next cartoon comes out, and it makes fun of someone else, and you’re all ok.
There are millions of people that are pissed about a cartoon. A cartoon, a drawing. Millions of people rioting, killing each other, and governments supporting the hub-bub, over a cartoon. I see this on the news everyday, and all I see are thousands of morons. Dumbasses.
All these idiots that have such a trivial amount of self worth that they have to revolt because someone makes fun of you. Boo-fucking-hoo seems to come to mind real easily. But wait, how can I say this? I’m a White Male for one. I’m stereotyped as being the living incarnation of what’s wrong with the whole universe. I’m half Irish, and part Cherokee. Talk about “My people were slaves”…My People were run off of their lands and abandoned. The White Male is getting the biggest short end of the stick of all time, and we take it. It’s no bother, because a lot of us realize that we’re just putting up with dumb posturing by the feminists, the blacks, the Hispanics, the Asians, and the Islamic world.
How many cartoons out there are active in making fun of the white guy in various forms? Ton’s. Even more put down the white man, insult the white man…..everyday of the week. One day, someone draws Muhammad with an explosive turban….and half the world goes nuts.
After being around the world, in many countries with highly underdeveloped senses of self, under-educated fools, I honestly don’t care about how the rest of them kill themselves. Darwin would be proud. Seeing you idiots destroy your own countries, over trivial things like cartoons, well, I think y’all deserve it. You’re an embarrassment to the human population, to your families…
I say the quicker you can get to burnin’ down your own countries, killing yourselves with your C-4 Turbans, the better the rest of the world will be. I’d say ‘Get Started’, but obviously, you have…
