Monday Moaning

All I want for Christmas....Well I have my two front teeth, but I don't have these two Brit models!

Over the last month or two I haven't written about sports...And I won't be again...I haven't seen any...Seriously, Saturday night I watched the third period, OT and shootout of the Bluejackets game...That was all I've seen...In my business, the Holidays is know as "the Season" and the season has been a busy bitch...

My days off have been non-stop chaos over the last couple weeks...Running around with the kids and all their crap going on...Both the girls birthdays...trying to get stuff done for Christmas...We just hammered out the shopping this past week...The wife and I knocked it out in 2 hours...Throwing elbow, tripping old ladies, whatever it took!

We took the kids to see Santa, and stopped at a pet store in the mall...Suddenly, this whole family wanted me to crap money and by another dog...We already have one that they all wanted, yet getting them to walk him is like pulling teeth...So, the foot came down hard, I wasn't getting another dog that would end up mine, I'm fine with Finnegan...And I don't have an extra $1000 dollars or more for a damn pet store dog...I'd rather rescue one or adopt from the APL...Shit, I was already wondering how I was going to pay for all the other shit, then they want to try and sneak in a dog...Bite me!

I was thinking about what to write...It's days before Christmas, do I really want to get into all these asshole protesters again....Protesters who feel it's okay for them to use force, but not the police...Yeah, they can blow me!

Did I want to talk about Police officers being murdered...No...It's fucking horrible...All these ass-hat, race-baiters like Al Sharpton, and these idiot protesters get complete fucking idiots wound up, and they decide they'll make some noise, and rally the cause by shooting cops...No, you just ruined your cause, or what you thought was your cause...Fucktards!

It's just days before Christmas, and I'm not feeling Christmasy...It's rather depressing when major motion pictures are being cancelled because some angry little bitch had some hackers sift through rich people's emails...And police are being killed because people are mad that a scum-bag who had been arrested 30 times, resisted arrest, and got himself dead...And people are saying "Black lives matter!"  But apparently they don't care about police lives...Well, lets be honest, they don't give a shit about any lives...They just want to bitch and have an excuse to act like assholes...

I love Christmas time...But there's no snow on the ground, and the news is full of hate, and mistrust, instead of caring, love, and peace...I'm going to remove the news apps from my phone...I'm not turning on a news station either...In my limited time off of work, I'm going to hunker down with my kids and watch Christmas movies...I've got to get my Christmas vibe on before I choke the shit out of some one!

I'll have to listen to some of those tunes I posted last week...And this one too....





I guess that the best thing to do...Put on some Christmas tunes and movies, and hang with the ones you love the most...and try to block out all the bullshit!  I'm going to get on with that...Sorry for the short, rambling, post...

I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas...

A Beezer's Dozen...My Top 12 Christmas Songs

It's the Holiday Season...And I haven't felt very festive...I've been too busy at work, and too broke to really get going into Christmas too much...We also just knocked out Molly's 4th birthday Sunday...4 years already...Holy shit...Now that both the girls birthdays are out of the way, it's time to get our Christmas on...So, I thought I'd revisit the old Christmas songs to see if that would help get me in the spirit...

So lets get right to it...

1. The Kinks- Father Christmas....The poor kids anthem, and a classic Kinks riff...




2. Billy Squier- Christmas is a Time to Say I Love You...Showing my age...The days when MTV played music...Totally underrated Christmas song...





3. Dead Sara- Snow in Los Angeles...This is a new one...Released a couple years just after I had done a list of Christmas songs...This one shot up right away on my list...




4. Pearl Jam- Let Me Sleep (It's Christmas Time) Back in the early '90s none of us expected  these guys to do a Christmas song, but they did, and it's excellent...





5.  "Blue Christmas"  This one is an old standard...It always makes me think of those I wish were still with us...I'm sure there are plenty of people feeling this year...I don't like Elvis...And since my favorite band did it a couple years ago, I'll go with them...Our Lady Peace...





6. The Pretenders- 2000 Miles...I just flat-out love this song...My favorite song from the Pretenders...




7. Daniel Mustard- Since Santa Ain't Coming...I shared this a couple weeks ago...An anti-Christmas song, from a guy who just months before recoding it was homeless...





8. Let it Snow...Another old standard...You gotta love how Dean could lay it down...And I have to say, the Rat Pack Christmas album is awesome...





9. Silent Night....I'm going with the Sarah McLachlan version...But there are so many great versions, it's hard to screw up...If you really want to get depressed check out the Lisa Hannigan version...Uhgg





10. Chris Cornell- Ave Maria...Everyone knew the Soundgarden front man could sing, but when he did this for 1997's  "A Very Special Christmas Volume 3" everyone was blown away to hear just how amazing of a singer he is...




11. "Memory"  -Savatage...Long before you heard of TSO, some of those guys were in a group called Savatage that loved to write Metal Operas...This is from one called "Dead Winter Dead"...It's also where that famous TSO "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24) came from...



12. "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis"  -Tom Waits...It's a beautiful song about, just what the title says...There is also a great remake by Neko Case...




That's it...What do you think?  What are your favorite Christmas songs?

If you're interested, here's my LIST of the 15 top Christmas Movies...

Monday Moaning

Are you ready for the Holiday season!?!

I spent Saturday getting the Christmas tree up, decorated, then the outside lights...Yep, I'm already over it...Oh wait...We haven't bought a single gift for anyone...Where the hell is Santa when you need his fat ass!?!

Santa....What the hell...The Santa question was finally asked in our house...Our oldest turned 13 last week, and Friday asked my wife about the fat man...My wife, be a softy, and not wanting to admit to our children growing up, continued to try to push the myth...Our oldest is smart, and kinda knew the truth, but she's a very sweet, innocent  soul, and wanted to believe...So when I got home from work, I had to have the talk with her...Including, the part where she isn't allowed to blow our cover to the other two....I put a positive spin on it, and how the idea of Santa brings so much happieness, and can bring the best out in people, and so on...She took it well...I could tell she was upset, but she's okay...It was tougher on my wife, who was making smart ass comments in front of her the next day about what a jerk I was for not believing...

So, college football set the 4 team playoff...Not shocking that Alabama is in...FSU ran the table, can't screw them, even if they a bunch of criminal fucking assholes...Oregon got in...They're bad-ass and never afraid to play anyone...and then Ohio State, with a 3rd string QB destroyed Wisconsin in the Big-10 Championship game, saving this whole system from what was going to be a major controversy...TCU and Baylor...The polls kept ranking TCU ahead of Baylor, even though Baylor had beaten them straight up...Suddenly it was easy to just jump Ohio State ahead...It also helps that Luckeye fans have proven that they travel well, 'cause we all know money is always going to be a factor...Since I hate Alabama, and FSU, and Ohio State, I'll bee pulling for the Ducks...But the 'Bama OSU matchup should be a good game...We'll see...

Now, I touched on this shit last week, or the week before, or both...All you protesters, while many are being peaceful, and I respect your right to assemble, and all that happy horse shit, IT'S ILLEGAL TO BLOCK TRAFFIC...Yes, it's against the law for you fuck-tards to shut down highways, and bridges and tunnels...Nothing will make me more happy when a mayor finally gets tired of this shit, and gives the order to turn the fire hoses on you fuckheads...Just wait until and ambulance can't get through and some one dies...Manslaughter charges for all you dickheads...

And another tip...If you don't want to get physically taken down by the police, listen to them...Don't resist arrest...You'll actually stand a better chance in court if you don't resist...If you listen, and don't act like an ass, they're more likely to listen to your side as well...want to act like ass, resist, well maybe you get choked out...

Sadly, the hands up shit hasn't stopped yet, but then again, neither did it's martyr, Mike Brown!  But now we have people laying down and saying they can't breathe...You know what would make things better...If you dolts went to work and contributed to the economy...

I find it humorous how we are getting bombarded with stories of white police shooting, hurting or killing black people...But nothing is being said about the constant black on black crime that goes on everyday in this country...Go to Chicago for a week...It's fucking constant black on black carnage...Checkout Detroit...And I haven't mentioned the hate crimes that take place everywhere that are black on white...Those get hushed up, but they happen everyday...

I'm not trying to make this about race...I'm just pointing out the fact that awful shit happens everyday to everyone, not just you...I don't think we should be looking at just police, or black people, or white people...We should be looking at all of ourselves, because we have become a very violent, uncaring society, and I fear for my children's future...

That's enough of my sermon...

Cyber Monday Moaning

Yep, I'm trying to capitalize on this "Cyber Monday" crap...Get a few extra page-views ain't that right Rosie!?!  Hell, I'm sure Rosie and I grabbed a few extra views by titling Friday's post BLACK_FRIDAY!

If you didn't catch it, I suggest you take a look at it before I go off on some St. Louis Rams...

These St. Louis Rams...I couldn't tell you who they are based on their numbers...I don't care who they are, because I know what they are...FUCKING IDIOTS!  But so we have it on record...These fucking idiots are named Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens, and Kenny Britt...Could you five fucking idiots, and the countless celebritards, and insane number of dolts out there, please read the transcripts from the 70 hours of grand jury testimony and eveidence...Mike Brown did NOT have his hands up...His buddy admitted it...Admitted he originally lied...So please put this "hands up, don't shoot" bullshit to bed already...

I had said at the start of the season I was done with the NFL, and I am...This is the most I've written on the NFL all year...Hell its' the most I've thought about the NFL...But I have to wonder will they respond...It has already been made clear by some police officials throughout the St. Luis area, that they are not pleased by this stunt...Some view it as a sign of support to those asshole rioters...I agree, and I view it a sign of stupidity and douche-baggery!  Will the league or the Rams apologize? Will they fine these dolts?  I think they'll make the Rams make a lame apology, but won't do shit to the players because the twats in the media will scream racism!  Really getting sick of that!

I read an article Sunday night on The Washington Post, that said "In America, Black Children Don't Get to be Children"...
That's a bold statement...A bold, blanket statement...I don't statements like that...I could respond with a blanket statement about how so many black kids don't even know their father, and that could be causing their childhood to suck ass...But that's a bullshit way to go, playing on the stereotypes...There are single parent homes in every damn race...

The article continued, "America does not extend the fundamental elements of childhood to black boys and girls. Black childhood is considered innately inferior, dangerous and indistinguishable from black adulthood. Black children are not afforded the same presumption of innocence as white children, especially in life-or-death situations."

I think that's bullshit as well...I responded to the article with this..."You're right, before you even say it, you're right, I don't know what it's like to be black...But screw you, you don't know what it's like to be white...You just assume you do...You assume its a damn cake walk...Everyone has crap in their lives...Everyone deals with different crap...I'm tired of all the pissing and moaning...I presume all kids are innocent until they prove me wrong...By pulling a gun...By blowing the football team behind the bleachers...Whatever it may be...No matter what color they are...But a black kid who had recently robbed a store, then got physical with a cop, then he got dead...So the world is out to get all black kids...No, it's not...And please will people read the transcripts from the Grand jury...The idiot didn't have his hands up!"

I know these are hot-button issues, and people aren't going to agree with everything I have to say, but all my life, I've heard people always saying we have to be able to talk openly and honestly about problems, including race...But when you do, mother fuckers run and hide...Fuck that...I'm not...I'm right here...Lets talk....Let's make this shithole world a better fucking shithole!

I'm gonna get a summit together...And I'm asking Richard Sherman to come...That guy can talk honestly....Although I'm not sure the NFL is very happy how he just put them in their place...






What, I mentioned the NFL twice today....Well that's should hold me over for awhile!

With that all said...I want to say one last thing in closing...

FUCK The Walking Dead!

I don't watch this show, because I'm a grown up and would rather play a video game or watch Family Guy...But my wife is obsessed and then got our oldest hooked...And Sunday night my daughter was a wreck because they    (SPOILER ALERT)       killed off some bitch named Beth...Fuck off, Walking Dead...I don't need that added bullshit in my life...And holy shit, by the way my oldest turn 13 this week...Where the fuck did the time go!?!

Have a week...
