The Moral Compass

I am posting today about our Moral compass. I had a phone conversation with a good friend a few minutes ago and this became a topic of our discussion. I mist say it was an interesting one at that. I do not think it matters in this discussion whether you are Republican or Democrat, Christian or not. I think we can all agree that we are not headed in the right direction morally. I will use an example and in no way am I necessarily demeaning this act I just use it to show the difference in where we are today compared to not too many years ago. Does anyone remember the MTV awards show many years ago when Madonna kissed Brittney Spears? If you do remember that do you also remember how big of a deal that was that 2 girls kissing was aired? Funny isn't it? Now that is on the air probably once or more an hour. Look I'm not saying that to start some debate about gay rights etc. I just bring it up to show the difference in how much more accepting we are today of everything as apposed to how we once were. I'd like to go on record here saying that while I don't agree with where we are headed I don't want 1950's era morality either. I am typically as open minded as the next guy. I think maybe when I was about 10 the world was in a pretty good place morally, at least compared to now. So let's all jump in a time machine and go back there, who's with me?

If this Penny could talk...

I am in one of those odd moods tonight I have found myself restless and bored with not much to do. Well there is plenty to do but I have not felt like doing it. I supose I will get a few things done so the day is not a total waste of time. You all know me though when my brain is free I begin to allow it to wonder and today it has gone into nastalga land. I found myself thinking about my coin collection and some coin money that I have from the 1860's and even some stuff older than that back in the 1700's when our country was so young. This really got me to thinking my how a penny can travel, or anything for that matter. Its the kind of "If these walls could talk" mentality tonight. A single penny from 1863 that went from pocket to pocket during the civil war! Is that not amazing to think about? How many times was it involved in the buying and selling of slaves if at all? Things like that kind of give you chills! If you could only know the things that these items have witnessed. Now it sits lonely with a bunch of other stories locked up in a safety deposit box never to be able to speak of the events it has witnessed and really unable to witness anymore. Just food for thought about the items we own is all.

Deafness or Blindness?

The above picture is of me and 2 of my best friend's taken a couple of years ago. I thought it fit somewhat well with the below post.

     Today I was at the foot Dr. sitting in the waiting room for an hour while my wife got an MRI. She has a cyst on her foot and refuses to let me smash it with a Bible. I have no clue why she won't let me do it. Anyway there was a deaf guy in the lobby and he and probably his grandson were hand talking with one another. Well you all know me with so much time on my hands and nothing to do but let my mind go crazy in thought, we wind up with another random crazy blog post right?
     So anyway I got to thinking what if you were in a room full of deaf people what would it sound like? I bet it would sound like applause with all the hand flapping going on. Imagine being in the cafeteria of a deaf school. WOW I bet you think you were at a concert or something in between songs! That also got me to thinking if you had to choose deafness or blindness which would you be? I think I would choose Deafness because I think they can fix it easier. They have those bone conducting things now so they can actually hear a little when needed. BTW this blog was not meant to offend anyone so please take no offense. It was just my random thoughts and trying to add a bit of humor to an otherwise horrible situation.
    

Spay and Neuter!

OK, so lets be honest I am really writing this blog post mainly to show this funny picture of Bob Barker! Remember folks always spay and neuter your pets. Seriously though we should all do it especially if you don't own a pure breed animal or if you even if you do you should do it if you never intend to breed. There are so many animals that have to be killed in shelters all of the time because the population is out of control. I like the fact that to get an animal at the shelter it must be fixed before you can adopt it. When you are ready for your next pet get a shelter animal you can find some awesome pets there and if you just watch it for a few weeks odds are even a pure breed you like will come along.

Mass Reproduction?!?!?

I read an article today on CNN that got me to thinking honestly there should probably be a limit to the amount of children a family can have! Lets not get into the religion thing here as I understand some peoples beliefs are different. I must say though every time that Duggar family comes on tv I feel a bit ill. The people in this article had 10 kids! They threw a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese for their 5 year old and forgot and left her there!!!! They didn't realize until the next morning!!!! Really?!?!? Come on, to top this they have the 5 year old in child protective services until they decide what to do, but only the 5 year old, the other 9 children are OK apparently 10 is the limit here lol.  What are your thoughts should people like this even be able to breed?

Customer Service?

Where or where are you customer service? Is it really that hard to provide good customer service to your clients these days? Apparently so! It seems everywhere I go these days I am disapointed in the service I receive, that certainly isn't because I am more grumpy than usual. In today's economy I would think it be ever more important to take care of the customer than usual. People don't have a lot of money to spend but the one thing they do have is a choice of where to spend it. I wont go into a lot of details about any of my recent poor customer service experiences, mainly because non of them are funny and I like to keep things light here. I will however shine the light on a company that you must do business with! ww.Zappos.com check them out and order from them the best customer service you will ever have hands down!

Mind Control and Donkey Crap!

"The human mind is the most deceitful of all things. It is incurable. No one can understand how deceitful it is.-Jeremiah 17:9

The above bible verse was sent to me by a friend a few weeks ago and I thought it interesting and true enough to post here as a tidbit for everyone to think about. Ever had a moment that something odd or crude popped into your head that you cant believe it popped in there? I know I do sometimes.
For instance I was at my Father-in laws church for a Christmas play and the church walked a live Donkey down the center Isle and onto the stage and they stopped at the end for a minute before the stage. All I could think about was "Man how awesome would it be if that thing took a huge crap right now and stunk the place up so bad people started upchucking!" I got so excited at the thought that I couldn't help myself and I was clearly showing that I was laughing at it by my body language. This was right before the scene of the birth of Jesus and I was almost cackling out loud! People had to think I was crazy.


P.S. I promise not all or even most of my blogs will include poop but tonight I guess I need a little mind control because its been the apparent subject of choice.

Vampire Poop!

I am writing my first true blog so to speak, I will be posting my random brain droppings here from now on, or at least the ones requiring more than a random thought on a Facebook status. Speaking of Facebook, I truly hate it, Google + is much better; but alas I will have to wait on the rest of the world to figure that out. Today I have decided that I am officially hooked on the show Tru-Blood I am 7 episodes in and I cannot imagine how I have went so long without watching this series! Oh wait its because I don't have HBO.  I never thought about Vampires having sex before watching this show... This has made me begin to think about a lot of other things. Most of you that know me well already understand that my brain works differently than most, or maybe not so differently I just seem to let out sometimes what others hold in. For instance this got me thinking "What would Vampire poop look like?" Would it be red? Do Vampires poop at all or is it merely pee? If so, is that red? Usually I hold Vampires very near and dear to my heart probably because it was the first real horror character I got into as a child. I can't stand the thought of sparkling idiots etc. This show pushes the boundaries of what I think of in a Vampire but it seems OK to me because they back things up and it makes total sense. Why wouldn't vampires if they existed make things up like the reflection thing in the mirror so they could hide in the open? I get it and I am hooked. On a side note my Dog has gas tonight and I am about to banish her from the house she wants to lay at my feet and fart and it is horridly stinky.
