I've Had Enough



Yes, CNN I've had enough...The same goes for HLN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, all of you...I've had enough...I brought this up Monday, feel free to scroll down and read that...But the bullshit coverage won't stop....America's Issue with Race? I'll tell you what a big factor is...YOU ASSHOLES....Constantly trying to force race down everyones throat...Over the last few months I have gotten a feeling like CNN is pushing for a race war...And since the Zimmerman trial ended, and they didn't get the verdict they wanted, they are still pushing race...He got off because he was white-ish, and the kid was black...

Bullshit, he got off because the prosecution was a fucking joke...

From the second Trayvon Martin died, it's always been about race...Did Zimmerman profile...Ummmm, yeah...Why? Because black youths had been breaking into homes...So he saw a black youth...He thought he was acting sketchy...Shit went down, and we may never know all of the truth...But he shot the kid...He never denied that...He was found not guilty...But these so called news people can't let go...They won't stop harping on this...Constantly pushing race...

Well, I'm sick of all this white guilt bullshit...I don't feel guilty for being born white...I don't hold it against the world that my Irish ancestors got shit on...They pushed forward and made their way...I didn't have shit to do with slavery, and none of my family did...And if you're black, and my age or younger, slavery had no ill effects on your life, so nut up...

But the media is just full of white guilt...They we always throw the story of a non-black killing a black in our faces...Trayvon has been pushed down our throats for over a year...Hey, I feel bad the kid is dead...It shouldn't of happened...But while that is pushed down our  throats for a year, there are countless crimes ignored...There are countless black on black crimes getting no attention...Go to Chicago, and look at the bodies piling up...Why not give some coverage to the gangs of black youths intentionally targeting and attacking whites at the Wisconsin State Fair...Why is it that THIS blog of mine, was the most coverage this story got...You know, nothing big, just a couple of black teens shooting a 13 month old baby in the head...No reason for Nancy Grace to go looney toons over that!

I haven't put on CNN today...I've been too busy, but the last two nights of Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan, feeling guilty that George Zimmerman got off, and pushing that it's all because Martin was black has lead me to never put that shit-bag station on again...Stop apologizing for being white...None of us had a choice of who made us...If you want to cover how awful it is that a kid was  killed, then start talking about them all...And start talking about why...Was it a gang shooting in Chicago again? was it a couple of punks trying to rip some one off?  Was it psycho mom tossing a child off a bridge?

Kids are dying in this country every day...They're dying all over this planet, and they are dying in awful ways, and far too soon...If you really want to do the news, then start covering them all...Otherwise, shut the fuck up!

Monday Moaning



Last week I talked about the Summertime Blues...This week...I don't know...I really don't have much...By much, I mean I've got nothing when it comes to sports...Honestly, I just haven't paid attention...I've slacked at paying attention to blogs or sports sites, and most everything...

But then came Saturday night...The so-called news media has been firmly planted in the George Zimmerman trial, and have refused pay any attention to 99% of the news that is happening...Some of them have been banging the drum for Justice for  Trayvon Martin but have ignored the countless other crimes, shootings, and deaths...Like last weekend when there were 72 shootings in Chicago, with 16 deaths... Mostly black and young....Why don't they get the same coverage as Trayvon Martin...

So back to Saturday, when the verdict came down just after 10:00 PM, that George Zimmerman was found, not guilty...The Internet went crazy...Twitter went wild...more wild then when Sharknado aired....But people, we have to remember something here...We live in a country where everyone is "Innocent until proven Guilty"....Not the other way around...Would you want to live somewhere like that...I recall a place like that...It was Russia, under Stalin...You know the good ole days when he killed over 20 million of his own people...

The fact of the matter is, the state must prove the defendant is guilty...If you paid any attention to the trial, you know they didn't...Zimmerman never denied shooting Trayvon Martin...That was never in question...It was all about whether it was done in self-defense...And the state couldn't prove he was guilty of cold blooded murder....You may disagree...But that is our system...And we weren't able  to have the full knowledge that the jury did...6 women, found Zimmerman not guilty of murder...The system is the system, and it worked, for better or worse...

That should be it...Game over...But people went nuts on Twitter and facebook...Different groups want action taken against Zimmerman, damn what the justice system says...People want the Department of Justice and the President to step in and find a way to go after Zimmerman...Rallies are being planned...Then I saw Roddy White's tweet...

Roddy White‏@roddywhiteTV13 Jul
All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid
 
Hey Roddy, wishing the jurors to kill themselves makes you no better then Zimmerman...I'm getting sick of a lot of the dopes on twitter, but without a doubt, athletes have taken the lead in the assholes on twitter race.
 
People need pull back...Hey, if you disagree with what the jury says, that's fine...But fucking grow up about it...And no offense, but why the fuck aren't you crying about all the other dead kids? Kids are dying every day...Why aren't you screaming about justice for Elaina Steinfurth...She's 18 months old...She's been missing since June 2nd...After her mother's boyfriend threw her against the wall...And the piecse of shit mother did nothing to help her...Instead covered it up for him...Now Elaina is missing...Reports suggesting that she was tossed off a bridge into the Maumee...
 
Where's her fucking justice? 
 
But wait, she's white...And this fucking Zimmerman case spiralled into a near race war right from the rip...From day one the fact that a white-ish guy shot a black teenager has been shoved in our face...Would it have been shoved in our face if it was a black-ish guy that shot a white teenager...No...We wouldn't have had months and months of non-stop coverage of the story...That doesn't happen...That isn't sexy and that doesn't cause controversy...
 
And fuck the #HoodieUp shit....My white ass has been wearing hoodies for the last 37 years...My wife doesn't take her pasty white ass anywhere without a hoodie...Hoodies aren't symbol, they're something to keep you warm...Stop ruining my hoodies you mother fuckers!
 
When I woke up Sunday morning and saw comments on Twitter and facebook, I knew it was going to be a long day...Then I popped on the TV...The trial is over, and still, all Zimmerman, all the time...Well, I've had enough...So Avoided TV all day, and took Molls to Memphis Kiddie Park...
 

So what else have I been doing, besides my normal Dad/Coach duties, since I haven't been paying attention to sports and blogging? I've found myself digging into music...looking for good music...New, old, interesting, whatever...So, I'll start sharing something new with you each week, and yes, I'll get my head back in the sports blogging game as well....This week I'm sharing Gary Clark Jr.
He's an awesome guitar player, who at first look would just seem to be in the Psychedelic/blues area...But if you dig into his collection, he travels all over while being rooted in Blues...I'm picking this clip where he covers Hendrix and Albert Collins...And if you remember our old friend 3rdStone, you'll get why....

 



And speaking of 3rd...In case you missed IT...

Have a week...

Monday Moaning



In case you missed it Saturday, there is one topic, and one topic only, above all other topics, that has to be discussed....Must read NOW ...

I told ya...Serious stuff people...Serious stuff going on in our country that has to be addressed!  Unlike what CNN is showing us...Yes, CNN has dug their heels all in with the George Zimmerman trial...Normal Friday night CNN programming got bumped so they could give another 3 more hours of talking about this trial...Hey, there is serious news happening daily in this country and in this world...And I'm not even talking about the asshole in Virginia anymore....(You better have clicked that link above!)  It's sad because not only are they constantly harping on this trial, that just started, but they are also giving off the vibe that they are trying to single handedly start a race war....

Race over and over again keeps coming up when this trial is talked about...And pretty much every time a black person is attacked or killed by some one who isn't black...Yet, when a black person attacks or kills a person who isn't black, race is not brought up...Why the double standard...What there aren't black people who are racist, who target white people or Asian people....Oh yes there are...The media is just afraid to talk about it...It happened at The Wisconsin State Fair a couple years ago, that a group of teenage blacks targeted and attacked whites...But the media danced around it...

Is it uncomfortable in here yet?  Sorry, but it needs to be said...The news media needs to report the news...The facts, as they really are, and not be afraid to tell the truth...But not every crime is racially motivated, and that shouldn't be the first thing we jump to when a crime happens...But dopes like CNN always seem to go there...I wrote THIS early last week...If you read it you can see I had a few problems with it, and racial tension popped up right or wrong...Do I think that animal did what he did because he was black and the woman was white...NO...he did it because he's a piece of shit...

So let me break down this whole Zimmerman case for ya, so you can avoid CNN for the next few months....Dude was following the Trayvon Martin, even though the police told him to pull back, they were on the way...But he wanted to be a hard ass....Martin realized was following him...Most likely, he said something...They exchanged words and then blows...Martin had him down and was beating his ass...Zimmerman was pissing himself, realizing he wasn't as hard as he thought, and that he had a gun, and shot Martin, thinking he was dead if he didn't...I don't know why it's so hard for people to figure out...

If I was in Martin's shoes, and noticed this douche following me, I may not have acting the same...When I was his age, I would have started to run, and ducked around a corner...If dude would have kept coming, then I probably would have jumped him...If I was Zimmerman, well you wouldn't see me doing what he did...I do my neighborhood watch from my front porch, and I don't have the time to waste, trolling around looking for the assholes...But If I found myself getting a beating, and I had a gun on me, yeah, I'd use it....Not everything is about race...Zimmerman may have said racist shit, doesn't mean he's looking to kill every black kid he sees...

Fuck!  Sorry if this all got heavy and uncomfortable...But the fucking news media makes me want to puke in the soup!

Okay...Sports...The NHL Draft was Sunday....Ummm, yeah, I don't really follow the prospects intensely, so I got nothing...Plus I didn't watch...I took the kids to see Monsters University...It was good...Kids like it...Had some good laughs for the parents...There were a couple good previews too that got big laughs from Mrs. Beeze...Yeah, some times it's like having 4 kids!

Back to the NHL...There were a bunch of trades on draft day...I'm really not willing to run them all down for ya...But Chicago, you just won the Stanley Cup, and your team just traded away a couple of guys who played a role in that...Many teams are trying to unload some contracts because of the salary cap for this coming year...And the Coyotes, who no one knows if they will be playing in Phoenix this coming year (I'm rooting for Seattle), and have no owner, some how signed goalie Mike Smith to a six year, $34 million deal...WTF!

The Boston Bruins look like they will be losing some familiar faces too...Nathan Horton will explore free-agency, and the team will let Andrew Ference walk...They have plenty of youth and depth on the blue line, so losing Ference won't hurt...GM Peter Chiarelli also admitted to losing to offers for Tyler Seguin....But after not moving the 21 year old winger, Chiarelli made it clear that Seguin needs to grow up, saying "He's got to commit his mind and focus on the one task at hand." Telling the Boston Globe, "He's got to become more of a professional."

Alright, kid...The boss just listened to offers, and then called you out...Better spend less time in the bars and all that Beantown snatch, and more time working on your game!

The Devils used the 208 pick on goalie, Anthony Brodeur...Yep, son of Martin Brodeur...But the kid won't see the NHL for awhile considering Dad is still there, and that the Devils just traded the #9 pick to Vancouver for 27 year old goalie Cory Schnieder...Schneider has been talked about in many trade rumors over the last couple years...Honestly, I think Vancouver always wanted to keep him and trade overrated, and overpaid Roberto Luongo, but no one wants that contract and that guy!

Okay...That's enough...If you really care about all the hockey moves, you already know where to go...Last week, all my games got washed out, and I'm expecting the same this week, as the forecast is calling for more fucking rain...So far we've had one game and  a bunch of rain outs...Thursday we should have played but the rec was too lazy to fix up the fields...The team we were suppose to play and us got together for a scrimmage...So at least all the kids got some work in...Been frustrating so far....Mother Nature needs to stop being such a twat and show youth baseball some love!

In closing...Wrapping this all up...Save the Blow Job! (and anal) ...Fuck CNN...Not every crime is racially motivated...And we should be able to discuss shit without everyone being afraid race...The NHL Salary cap has teams scrambling to make cap room...And Mother Nature needs to stop fucking with baseball season!

Have a week...

The Beeze.

I Am Not Trayvon Martin

No, I'm not...And I'm not going to get on a silly bandwagon saying I am...It would be moronic of me to say "I am Trayvon"...I have no idea what life was like in his shoes...He was a black teenager, and I'm a 36 year old white guy with 3 kids, a wife and a mortgage...I grew up in the suburbs and went to private school...I'm not Trayvon, and I don't want to be...Poor kid is dead...

And I don't need to wear a hoodie...Oh wait, I do...I live in Cleveland, I wear a hoodie almost every day for 7 months out of the year...Of all the crap that has gone on with this story, the hoodie thing was the first thing to really piss me off...People saying he was shot because he was wearing a hoodie and was profiled...People like Geraldo Riveria saying the hoodie had as much to do with his death, as George Zimmerman...Holy fuck that is one of the six most retarded things I have ever heard...

I see people of all races in hoodies every day, and I don't profile them, nor do I think they need to be shot...Hell at the Fish House, in one shift, I'll see 2 black guys, a Hispanic chick, a Palestinian, and two whit guys all show up wearing hoodies...No one has been shot yet, not even my hoodie wearing big mouth...

Now the facts of this case are just sketchy as hell...And then when the media decided to cover it, the majority of them jumped automatically to the side of Trayvon...The problem is, when I grew up, TV news was suppose to report the news...But now we have 3 major, 24 hour news channels, that compete with each other drive-time radio talk shows...So they editorialize, take their sides and fill people's heads with opinions instead of facts...

And the facts in this case have been limited...Zimmerman seems like a douche...From what I heard when he called 911, this guy was too gung-ho to get this kid...Then it was said that Trayvon beat his ass, and that's what got him shot...Although the video released last week made it look like Zimmerman didn't have a scratch on him...But be honest, it wasn't the best footage...That said, if this creep started following me, I probably would have had words with him...Depending on how the words went, I'd probably swing on him...

Now there are "experts" analyzing the 911 calls trying to say who's voice is who's...

The thing is, none of us were there...So why the fuck are we all putting in our two cents? And why this case? In this world, kids die everyday...Shit narrow it down to the U.S. ...Everyday kids are dying violent deaths, and little to nothing is said...It's blocked out...But if shit gets slow, the media picks a story, and stirs the pot...

So why didn't they pick THIS story? Two kids lighting another kid on fire wasn't good enough...And why in the Trayvon Martin shooting is so much made about the fact that he was black...Yet, in the story I just linked above, they try to keep it quiet that it was 2 black kids lighting a white kid on fire...Al Sharpton was out there in front of cameras and microphones for Trayvon...Why won't he do the same a white kid named Allen Goin? Because he's one of the biggest, fucking, racists alive...Shit, I use to watch some shit on MSNBC, but once they gave that evil fuck a show, they lost a lot of credibility...Sorry Rachael Maddow, I like you, but your network fucked up...

The media barely let anyone know about this story because they refuse to show racism going both ways...They don't even want to come close to accusing a black person of a racially motivated attack...The PC world we live in has cut the balls off the news media...

Why is there almost no coverage about THESE two teens that were shot Saturday?

There is awful, fucking violence going on everyday in this country...Far too much of it involves the youth of this country...But the news media picks and chooses what they want to share with the public...They stir the pot, they feed the fears...It's frighting to think about just how much power and influence these media corporations have over the viewing public...

Why do we even call it news...Remember when Wrestling came out and finally started calling what they did, "Sports Entertainment"...It's time for the news to come out of the closet and start saying they're "News Entertainment."

I'm sorry Trayvon Martin is dead...But I'm not him...I'm sorry Allen Goin got set on fire...But I'm not him...I'm me, and too busy telling my kids the truth, and teaching them right from wrong, to be anyone else...Because I know the "News Entertainment" won't teach them that!

Later, The Beeze.

Monday Moaning


Well here we are again...Monday just gets here too quick...So let's start with this "Hunger Games" fad...I've been hearing about this movie long enough...So the Mrs. and I went to see it Sunday...No, I haven't read the books, since that's the first fucking question everyone asks when this damn movie is mentioned...And guess what, I'm not going to...I saw the movie, so if I read the book, I'll hate the movie even more, at least that's what happens often...

Okay, I didn't totally hate the movie...It kept my attention...But this bullshit, fantasy-land, run by Donald Sutherland, and his TV producers, pisses me off...As much as the politicians, corporations, and rich douches, control in this country, I have more faith in humanity, then to think we would stand by and be ruled like the people in this movie...

Then there is the violence...I've never had a problem with violence in movies...And I don't have a problem with it in this movie...It's part of the story...Personally, the idea of kids killing kids didn't appeal to me, and I didn't really like watching it...Hey, I know kids are dying violent deaths everyday, and it's awful...Shit the Trayvon Martin shooting has been pounded in our heads non-stop...Odd how no one is talking about THIS story of two black teens lighting a white teen on fire...Yeah, this white boy just played the race card! But that's for tomorrow blog...

Maybe it's because I'm a parent, I don't know, I just didn't like the idea of this movie...Then there was the fact, that it was too long...Some parts were just slow...My wife liked it more, and plans on reading the books...She also is on board too see the sequel...I already told her, "I've invested too much time in this shit!"

Then Sunday night, we watched another movie that has been hyped up for awhile...We watched "Bridesmaids"...Mother fuckers kept saying how it's like "The Hangover"...Not even close! Yeah, it had some funny bits, and some good lines...But then it was filled with all this nonsensical, pity-party, chick bullshit...And talk about too long...Way too much wasted time...I found myself saying, "When are they going to wrap this up already." If you compared this movie to "The Hangover" please punch yourself...

I sat down to write this blog, wanting nearly 5 hours of my day back...Honest to God, I feel like Sunday was a total waste for having watched these fucking, over-hyped, fucking movies...Some one needs to eat my ass!

-How about sports!?!

For the first time in my life, it looks like I may win money in a Bracket Pool...I have Kansas and Kentucky in the final, and I'm pretty sure no one in The Fish House Bracket can catch me...I hope not, because even though I have Kentucky winning it all, I won't be rooting for them...Not after seeing how the Kentucky students and fans reacted after beating Louisville Saturday


Seriously! Why the fuck are people still rioting after their teams win...And fuck Kentucky, you didn't even win anything yet! Shit, at least Vancouver waits until they lose before they go and throw a fucking riot...Not only do I hope Kentucky loses, but I hope everyone of their players rolls their ankles...Fuck them!

-I heard Jeremy Lin is hurt, and may be done for the season...GOOD! no people can stop talking about how great he is...And then about how great he isn't...Then is...Then isn't...Fuck him! Now can somebody put a bullet in Tim Tebow...Never before has a backup QB gotten so much coverage...Fucking private jets and press conferences for a backup...And fucking ESPN Radio can't stop talking about this shit...Even with the Final Four going on, they still slip in some Tebow talk every twenty minutes...Fuck him, and fuck them...

You shits-heads want to talk New York sports, talk about the actual good team you have...The league leading New York Rangers! My boys lost Sunday night to the Bruins, but I have no worries...This team is build to win, and their record proves that...And they'll finish the job in the playoffs...







So to recap...Fuck "The Hunger Games." Fuck "Bridesmaids." Fuck anyone who said it was as good as "The Hangover." Fuck Kentucky, and their fucking fans...Fuck Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow, and the ESPN hype-machine...Show some respect to the New York Rangers...Watch Hockey...Look for my blog tomorrow about the Trayvon Martin shooting, and the media's fucked up coverage...Oh, and Fuck Mega Millions, since I didn't win!

Have a week...

The Beeze.
