What The Fuck?

Every day there is another story in the news about a horrible act of violence...Every day some one is being shot...Some one is being killed...Some awful shit is happening...As a parent, there are times I'm left scratching my head, asking myself, 'Why did we bring children into this fucked up world?'  That happened again yesterday when we heard the story of 13 month old, Antonio Santiago being shot in the head while in his stroller...

His mother, Sherry West was taking him for a walk, when she claims two black teens approached her....She was told to give them her money...She tried to tell them multiple times that she didn't have any...They threatened her...She tried to explain she did have any...The trigger man asked, "Do you want me to kill your baby?" she said, "No, don't kill my baby!"

That didn't stop them...Officials say that one of the teens fired four times, grazing West's ear and hitting her in the leg, then he went around to the stroller and shot Antonio in the face...How the hell does anyone do that!?!

Now I wasn't there, and maybe down the line something more, and even worse will come out about this, but I'm not going to speculate, or throw out a conspiracy theory...I'm taking the police, witnesses  and the mother at their word....So it sickened me when I saw this....

This is from the facebook page of a friend of these little thug assholes...The name mentioned, Demarquise Elkins is the 17 year old shooter, who along with his 14 year old counterpart were arrested yesterday for this horrific crime...Now, I'm not saying these two are guilty or innocent...That's up to the system to let us know...But when your boys are talking like this about you, you sound guilty as fuck...I also looked at Demarquise's facebook page last night...Comments on there from friends and family, don't make him look innocent...

But this shit above, from "Moneyville Shawtii Mizzle" makes me want to drive to Georgia, find him, and beat his skinny little ass...Then, beat the idiots that supposedly raised him...Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a pretty liberal guy, but I may not sound like it here...

This mother fucker needs to go the fuck back to school...The word is THAT not dat...And stop saying Nigga!  I don't play that bullshit that Nigga and Nigger are two different words, and mean two different things...It's just you fucking being lazy, just how you say dat instead of that, and da instead of the...It's fucking lazy...and your boy, who shot a baby in the face, if you want to keep it real...Call him what he is...A piece of shit...Anyone who would support some one who shot a baby in the face, and talk about them like they are some kind thug hero, should be executed the same day as the shooter....

Everyday there is a another reason to question the importance of the human race...Why do feel we are such a greater species, when there are so many humans trying to disprove that everyday...

A 13 month old is dead, because of money...Clearly, we aren't that great of a species.

Finishing St. Patrick's Day with a Bang!

This gives a whole new meaning to cum dumpster!   That's how you finish off or start off your St. Paddy's Day!

I wonder if he hit her up with the old, "Do you have any Irish in ya?" line!

Monday Moaning

                                     Well I hope your St. Patrick's Day was as good as hers...

Mine was the least St. Patrick's Day I've ever had...Yes, this is suppose to be a sports blog, but there's a problem with that...I have been disconnected from sports, and well, most stuff....Until Sunday evening, I hadn't seen any TV since Thursday...Well, except a few moments of "Caught on Camera" while we stopped at an Applebees Saturday evening...So this week, you're going to get a recap of my hellish week/weekend...You've been warned...

Wednesday we found out my father-in-law had another stroke or two...He couldn't stand or walk...He was confused...His speech was slurred...He was wetting himself...After an ambulance took him to the hospital, he wasn't admitted because he briefly walked...But by the time he got back home, he couldn't stand, or do anything for himself...The sister-in-laws were on their way in to Erie from Boston...Friday we were suppose to move my in-laws into their assisted living suite....

After calling an ambulance again Thursday, and my father-in-law being in another hospital, it was clear he wasn't going to assisted living...He needs to be in a secure, nursing home...My wife and I took Friday off work...The kids went to school just for a hour and change...Little Beeze was excited to shave his head...They were raising money for kids with cancer by shaving their heads...He was pumped, and I didn't want him to miss it...I'm very proud of him....

After that we all headed to Erie...The kids got settled in, surrounded by chaos...My Brother-in-law and nephew and I started the heavy lifting...We moved all the heavy shit Friday to my mother-in-law's assisted living place...We also took a shit load of boxes...My wife and her siblings took turns visiting their father...That night we had Pizza and beer at grandma's new place...

Side note...1 reason PA sucks...You have to go to a specific store for beer, and another for wine and liquor...And you can only buy beer by the case, which was just forcing me to drink more...Fucked up state...Here in Ohio, I can buy beer, wine, and liquor almost anywhere...I bet I can find beer in a toy store!

Saturday I woke up to snow...In Erie it snows almost every day from November to  May...We all met for an awful breakfast at Perkins...Although Molly enjoyed hers...

Shockingly, after that, there was more shit to move...My brother an law made a bunch of trips over with crap...Our bitch sister-in-law tried to make it out like no else was doing shit but her...I didn't see her stepping up to move that big fucking headboard...I didn't see her humping that dresser down the stairs...I'm not joking, she was driving everyone nuts...I sometimes worry about my anger, but realizing I wasn't the only one who wanted to choke her out made me feel better...

Between one of the trips we stopped at this awesome Candy/Ice Cream/Coffee shop...While we were there, my nephew and Little Beeze strolled in like they owned the place...

To him, his cousin, and uncle are two of the coolest guys on the planet...He loves when he gets to roll with them...While he was having ice cream, and us big guys were having Mocha shakes, we were checking out the rest of the shop...I asked my nephew if he was going to get his girlfriend something...Little Beeze piped up and said, "Yeah, get your wench something!"  My nephew cracked up, as did we, and I gave him a look, and he said, "What, that's what they use to call women."

Kid is hilarious!

Then my brother from another mother and I started going through the basement...My father-in-law loved buying tools, and appliances that he never used...He hadn't even been in the basement for a few years...The house has to be cleaned out, so we were taking what we could use and what could be sold for the family...I brought home a new, never used tools, including everything I need to put in anew kitchen floor, and a nice set of knives...My wife took some old memories, and some old school cameras he had...It all felt strange...

Later, my wife and I snuck the kids in to see grandpa...They aren't allowed to visit if they're under 12...I wasn't going to let that fly...And I'm glad, because they were glad to see him, and he was happy to see them, even if he forgets their names...

The cool sister-in-law/brother-in-law and kids left, headed back to Boston...That was a bummer for all of us...My wife and I brought up dinner to the bitch...She was unresponsive, so we ditched her and we took the kids  to Applebees...It was nice and peaceful being away from the madness...When we got back, there was more work she had for us...Her attitude was starting to get real old....Finally I got loud when I was making it clear that I was putting Molly to bed, and shit needed to stop...The bitch was staying at a hotel...She must have said she was leaving for 2 hours, before she finally left...

Once she did, the wife gave me a gift for the work I had done, and for not killing her sister...Yep, may have been the last sex that busted old house may see!

Sunday I woke up to the sound of her voice...The only weird thing is, she wasn't there...I dreamed it, it woke me up, and pissed me off...That's how she grates on you...I later found out that this has happened to other people...After I did get up...I had two more trips to the assisted living place...I then talked with the manager about getting my mother-in-law's cable set up, as well as her storage space...

When we were saying goodbye to her, there was a St. Paddy's Day party going on...She loves this place...She has fit right in, and it's exactly where she wants to be...After seeing the place as much as I did, I'm looking forward to hitting 55 years old and getting into something like this...It's a relief that she's settled in and taken care of...But my father-in-law's situation still is up in the air...We feel like we've made headway, but then you think about that, and just say, fuck...

With everything going on with my in-laws...His Dementia and strokes...Them now living in two different places...Their kids cleaning out their house...the whole mess...Yeah, it's added stress and frustration, and extra stuff to my plate...But imagine what my wife and her siblings are feeling...And what are her folks feeling...It's pretty depressing...Let's hope next week, I can get things a bit more upbeat, and with some sports...

Have a week...

Why is CNN Feeling Bad for Rapists?

Yes, the title is correct...I want to know why big fat, stupid Candy Crowley, Poppy Harlow, and Paul Callan spent 6 minutes feeling bad, and wanting us to feel bad for to high school football stars, who raped a 16  year old girl...They kept talking about these assholes lives being ruined...But the idea that these two pieces of shit ruined a girls life, doesn't even cross their minds over there at CNN...Watch for yourself...




WHY!?!  WHY!?! Why are they making these bastards out to be the victims and just blowing off the actual victim...These two crybaby rapists got off easy....And no one should feel bad for them...Fucking Paul Callan talking about them being haunted by being registered sex offenders, like it's a bad thing...They should be haunted...Their lives should be ruined...They are sex offenders...

Candy Crowley, Poppy Harlow...Fucking Poppy...Die!  Paul Callan....All three should be fired, along with the fucking suits that let them on the air...This is one of the biggest disgraces in the history of the news media...Fucking burn CNN to the ground!

WOW! The weather got so nice in Cleveland on Sunday,  it had everyone thinking about Summer...Which got me thinking about images like this one!

While my Brother-in-law in Boston is looking at another mountain of 20+ inches of snow, we're here with sun and 68 degrees....In the last year or two, there has been some crazy weather in the U.S.  I mean we're hearing about Tornadoes year round now...Serious weather seems to be hitting everywhere...Well, except one place...The Cleve...Yes, we got some rain and serious wind from "Super Storm Sandy" but our homes didn't blow into the lake...Maybe Mother Nature has realized Cleveland has been shit on enough...

Besides that, we do enough damage ourselves...Just look what this dump truck driver did Saturday morning...

A large portion of I-90 has been closed all weekend while crews take that pedestrian bridge down...Dude knocked it off the pillars...Only in the fucking Cleve!

So, I have to admit that my writing has slipped lately...I've been distracted and tired...So Friday night I forced myself to write...I gave myself a time limit, and knocked out A_15_MINUTE_BLOG just to get my juices going and get shit off my chest...

Now I feel slightly recharged...

A couple months back I was talking about fan loyalty, and how owners and players don't show that same loyalty much these days...That piled on with years of watching Cleveland teams lose, I decided to go free agent...I said that I would choose my baseball team to root for in April...I'll still pay attention to the Indians, but they aren't making the cut...I think Terry Francona will get them going the right direction, but it's not happening this year just because they added 3 guys who hit below .265 and strike out a fucking ton...

I'll also pay attention to the Red Sox because of the family connection...I like that they added Joel Hanrahan...But as some one who kinda got hooked on the Pirates last year, that sucks for Pittsburgh...Also NESN always have hot chicks covering the Sox....

There's the former NESN chick Heidi Watney getting put in her place by the latest NESN hottie, Jenny Dell and her huge creamers!  Which would you take?

This year, I'm focused on two teams...Both from the same area...The Baltimore Orioles, and the Washington Nationals...I really want to see if the Orioles can build on what they did last year...But I'm not waiting for April...The Nationals are my team this year...That Harper kid is good, and he's a cocky prick...I like that!  Strasburg is a beast, and I'd love to see what he'll do with a full season...They've got a solid staff, and balanced lineup...Screw it...I'm signing a 2 year deal with the Nats!

And I'm not waiting for after the draft or free agency with Football...I have no faith in the Browns, and even if they land some big free agents, which is tough to do here, It will still take time, especially with the hellish QB situation this team has constantly been in...I'm all in with the Seattle Seahawks...Pete Carroll is a douche, but that's a hell of a team they've got going there...Plus, as much as a dick as Richard Sherman seems to be, I love that told off Skip Bayless last week...You can see that HERE...

- Saturday I posted some WISDOM from Bill Burr...The guy kills me...Just hilarious...There was another clip I was watching, and planning on posting...Then it was suggested to me to check it out by a facebook friend...Great minds right!  So here's Bill on Gold Diggin' Whores...




Classic Bill Burr!

- I rarely talk Basketball, mainly because I don't watch it...There is nothing I like about the NBA...But I'm going to talk a bit of Basketball this week...Why?  Because at one time I use to think Jason Whitlock was a good columnist...Now, after some of the shit he has written and tweeted over the last couple years, I realize he's almost as big of an ass-hat as Rick Reilly...This week Whitlock wrote a column stating that the entire NBA is afraid of LeBron James...REALLY?  Why the hell would other elite NBA players be afraid of LeBron...This guy isn't the living legend that Whitlock and dolts at ESPN try to make him out to be...He's only has one NBA title...1...

Whitlock goes on to say that James and Dwayne Wade are the best duo the NBA has seen..."We’ve never seen anything like the pairing of James and Dwyane Wade. Two superstars playing at this level of efficiency, shooting over 50 percent from the field. They invented and perfected the three-quarter-court, alley-oop outlet pass. They popularized the chase-down, hear-my-footsteps blocked shot at the rim. They’re lethal at both ends of the court. James and Wade are 94 feet of hell. It might take a fluke or an injury to stop the Heat’s winning streak."

I'm not an expert on basketball, but this guy is nuts...Why doesn't he just give them credit for inventing the game...This shit is retarded...They've got one title together...They haven't proven shit yet...With age, Whitlock gets more and more full of shit!

Plus if you believe any bit of what Cleveland sports talk radio says, LeBron wants to come back to Cleveland to end his career...The rumors say he isn't happy in Miami...How much of that is true, I don't know...I know he crew isn't getting their asses kissed and put on the team payroll like they did here....Even worse is how many people would welcome him back with open arms...After all that hate...After feeling so screwed, they'd welcome him back...These are the same people who will never forgive Art Modell for moving HIS team...Gotta love the fucking Cleve!

In closing...Fuck LeBron James...Fuck Jason Whitlock....Cleveland is a bitch, but the Weather has been better then most places...Jenny Dell has great cans...Bill Burr rules...Go Nationals!

Have a Week...

A 15 Minute Blog

I have been in a serious writing slump...So I'm making my self take 15 minutes, and just letting shit fly....

The slump has mainly been because I'm tired...For too much of the time, in the last month, I've been a single parent, while my wife has been back and forth trying to get her parents in an assisted living place...Her father has Dementia/Alzheimer's...He has also recently had a series of small strokes...These factors have contributed to him putting his household in a horrible financial situation....So in her back and forth she has also been talking with lawyers about the best strategy to handle those issues...

Then there is her mother who is having some serious short term memory loss issues...And her brother who had a serious car accident, while not having a license or insurance...She handled all the car accident issues, as well as got a car for her mom...

She has  had a lot on her plate...Her sisters have helped, but they're in Boston...We live the closest to her folks, so she has been doing most the leg work...Believe me when I tell ya, I've had a enough of this shit...But she's my wife...Her problems are mine too, and I have to do whatever I can to help her...But mostly, I've just had to increase my Mr. Mom workload...

I haven't gotten to enjoy my pain meds, or muscle relaxers I got after wrenching my back, and cracking up my ribs...They knock me out pretty hard, and I have to be on high alert for the 3 kids...Little Beeze tends to fall out of bed a lot...Kid is a flopper at night...

So, after getting the kids off, going to work...Cooking way too much Grouper for working at a Steak House, picking the kids up, helping with homework, making dinner, doing dishes, getting kids ready for bed, and getting the days update about what's going on with the in-laws, my drive to write has been shit....My sports viewing has been limited...Sleep just sounds, and feels better...

She is at her folks again tonight...The kids are asleep...And I'm seeing that The Chicago Blackhawks are looking like they may finally lose a regulation game...Well, streaks are made to end...

A couple nights ago we had a rare bit of time for just us...After getting the kids from school, I took them to the Dentist for a check-up...Then I took them home, got them dinner, and my Mom came over to stay with them...I had a doctors appointment...My wife did as well...I was shocked to find out that my Cholesterol wasn't bad...So, I thought we should celebrate...

We stopped by a new place called Drink Bar and Grill...They're in a soft opening phase...The space was once a pile of shit, but this guy has busted his ass, and made it look great...The place had great Jazzy vibe to it...The Jazz playing in the background helped, but I felt that vibe when I walked in...We sat at the bar...I had a Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale...Love that stuff...We order the Bruschetta...Very fresh, and very good...Then I had a steak sandwich with onion rings...The wife had a burger and fries...She quickly regretted not getting onion rings...These were without a doubt, the best onion rings I ever had...Everything about them was perfect...The Steak sand was good...Kind of small, but the steak was real steak tips, and had nice, fresh, crisp onions and peppers on it, with fontina cheese...

If we didn't have kids to get home to, I could have drank Conway's and eaten Onion Rings all night long...It was nice, just to sit and talk, and leave all the stress and bullshit outside...I can't wait to get some more of that quality time....

My 15 minutes are up...Sorry for this rambling, but it felt good, just to write...It's actually stirred a couple ideas of things to write about soon...I gotta get myself back at it..

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Well here we are again...Another Monday...And another post I'm not really in the mood to do...But you know me...I'll keep plugging away and try and give you something good to read...Or at least a nice opening pic...

In the Hockey world, the Chicago Blackhawks have extended their amazing run of not losing a game in regulation time...The Blackhawks beat rival Detroit in a shootout to take their record to 19-0-3...This is an impressive run...The 'Hawks have plenty of fire-power and have seen some great goaltending from Corey Crawford...Even Ray Emery in spot duty has been very good...Without a doubt, Chicago is the front runner to win the Cup...How long can they keep this streak alive?

Friday I posted Quick little Hockey story...If you missed it, you can find it HERE....

The weekend was full of us taking care of shit in Erie, PA for my inlaws...We did take a few hours to hang with some friends...It was a nice little breather...Then Sunday we had to get back home, so I could go to a wake...I had to say goodbye to an old co-worker/friend...

He was 30 years older than me, but he one of the guys...He was a salt of the Earth kind of guy...He served in Vietnam as a medic...One time he was working on a marine during a fire fight...His helmet had fallen off, and he was grazed in the head by a bullet...He did stop doing his job until some one grabbed him...He was a real man...He'll be missed.

Rest in peace "Old Hickory"

AS for the rest of this post...Sorry gang, this week is short and sweet...I've fallen asleep 3 times trying to write this.

Have a week...

A Quick Sports Story

 

A couple nights ago, my high school Alma Mater and perennial power, St. Edward played a thrilling 5 overtime playoff game...The Eagles lost 3-2 to The Green Wave of Holy Name, coached by a couple of former Eagles...

Holy Name goalie Sam Pikus was outstanding, making 74 saves...74! That itself was impressive as hell....

But today I was talking with the father of St. Edward captain, Gabe Lampron...The kid is really good...It's looking like he may pass on a college scholarship, and take a shot at juniors...Well after the game...After 5 overtimes, and a crushing loss for a program that expects to be in the state final four every year, Lampron's father noticed a number of players crying...This is something we see often in youth sports...He asked his son "Why weren't you crying?"  Gabe responded, "I left everything out there, I have no reason to cry. It's just hockey."

Those words. "it's just hockey" may bother some people...But to me, this kid seems like he may have his shit together...He's been scouted...He's had scholarship offers...But in the end, compared to other things in the world, "it's just hockey."   He was confident enough, and proud enough to know he "left everything out there"...So why cry?  He's right...Sometimes you lose...But if you leave it all out there, you've got no reason to cry.

Great season by the Eagles!

Holy Name takes on the Rocky River Pirates Saturday in the District finals...

Go Green Wave!

I don't know about you, but I could use a vacation right now...I'm betting I wouldn't be able to come back after a vacation with her...

So things here in Beezeland went from bad, to worse...After all those family issues I addressed in the past couple weeks I thought we were getting back on track...But late last Sunday night we got a call...Late night phone calls are never good...My father-in-law had a stroke at some restaurant...He snuck out...Took the car we just helped my mother-in-law get...Wouldn't leave the place when they were trying to close...Wasn't making sense...Wouldn't show ID...The police were called...he had a stroke....FUCK!

My wife spent the week there in Erie, PA...Her sisters came in from Boston...They spent the week dealing with the family's screwed up financial situation...My father-in-law's Alzheimer's screwed stuff up bad...They were back and forth to the banks, hospital, checking out assisted living places, talking to lawyers...Non-stop headaches, while also trying to keep their mother calm, and worrying about their father's health...

My wife came home Friday wiped out, and knowing she'll have to be heading back within the next couple weeks to finish dealing with this stuff, and cleaning out the house...They have my in laws getting setup to go into an assisted living home...The rest of what is going on I won't get into...So much crap, and so many details...

The kids were thrilled to have her home, and so was I...Molly welcomed her with an overloaded, shit filled diaper...As soon as my wife was done cleaning her up, and before she could get a new diaper on...Molly stood up, and pissed on the carpet, right at her feet...'Welcome home Mom! Think about that next time you leave!'  I had to laugh....She's been very clingy to mom all weekend...

You would think that this is where I would get into the sports talk...I'll try...

The only bit of sports I saw this past week was the Notre Dame/Western Michigan hockey game Friday night...The Irish lost the 3-3 battle in the 6th round of a shootout...But the game goes in the national standing as a tie...The Irish play in the CCHA right now...The only conference that goes to a shootout...But the CCHA will be gone after this year...The Big Ten will have their own Hockey conference ripping Ohio State, Michigan, Mich State, from the CCHA, and Minnesota and Wisconsin from the WCHA...They will all be joined but Penn State's young program...

6 WCHA teams, Colorado College, Denver, Minnesota-Duluth, Nebraska-Omaha, North Dakota, and St. Cloud State, along with Miami (Ohio) and Western Michigan will form the NCHC (National Collegiate Hockey Conference)...

The WCHA will stay alive with Alaska-Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech, and Minnesota State...They'll add CCHA teams, Alaska, (that never made sense anyways) Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Northern Michigan, and Bowling Green...

Notre Dame will be heading to the college hockey power house conference, Hockey East...

Are you asleep yet!?!

I have to say, what I've paid a lot of attention to, besides my kids has been this whole Pope stepping down thing...I had watched the HBO documentary MEA_MAXIMA_CULPA...It's all about the Catholic Church's sex scandal, and how a group of deaf guys really blew the story up and got it out there...It also shows how the Pope and the guy before him need to be held accountable...

This pic should have been a warning sign that this guy was no good!

I've been going to religion classes with my two oldest kids for 6 months while they go through the Rite of Catholic Initiation...When we had our oldest, many churches wouldn't baptize her because we didn't get married in the church...So we blew it off until this year when they started at Catholic school...The Pastor there is cool, and has been helpful...During the Easter Vigil Mass they'll be Baptized, make their first confession, and first Communion...

I'm not a real pro-church guy, but the Catholic education I got was good...And theirs has been great so far...And I like the idea of having some help giving them their moral compass...They don't have to buy into it all if they don't want...I didn't...we just want to give them a start...

But from all that I have seen, and been reading, the Church is a lot like our government...It's broken at the top...and upper management...and middle management...While it's little parishes, and small church groups that are doing the right things, and the heavy lifting...If any of this interests you, seriously, watch that documentary...It's great, and horrifying, eye-opening, and excellent.

If you aren't interested in any of this...Sorry...It's what I got this week...Told ya I need a vacation!   Maybe check THIS out...It just won the Oscar for best Documentary!

Have a week...

Well, I hope everyone had a good Valentine's weekend...I'm sure it wasn't as much fun as it would have been with these two!  But hey, we can dream...

Sunday was billed as Hockey Day in America...They've been trying to hype this for a few years now, and I'm glad...Hockey, not just the NHL does not get the coverage and respect it deserves in the media...And while NBC aired 3 games and talked about the true spirit of Hockey, and the love of pond hockey, it was college hockey that got the closest to pond hockey...

Sunday #12 Notre Dame and #3 Miami (Ohio) squared off at Soldier field for some nice cold, outdoor hockey in the "Hockey City Classic"...

Now we've gotten use to the NHL's Winter Classic, which was lost this year...In these out door games, ice is always an issue...But of all the games, this one seemed to have some real pond hockey ice...The ice rough, slow, and snowy...All that favored Notre Dame, as Miami is a team that relies on their excellent team speed and stretch passing...Notre Dame pulled out a 2-1 victory...

But the Hockey wasn't done there...After the Irish victory, rivals Wisconsin and Minnesota laced them up, as the "Hockey City Classic" was a double-header...

The 18th ranked Badgers topped the 2nd ranked Gophers 3-2...I know I'm in a minority here, but if you're not following college hockey, you're missing out on some great hockey, and a great atmosphere...We often talk and hear about the atmosphere around college football and basketball...That same great atmosphere surrounds hockey as well.

And since I'm talking about hockey...If you aren't paying attention to the NHL, you're missing out on something impressive...So far, in this shortened season, where every game is going to matter so much more then ever before, the Chicago Blackhawks have a 12-0-3 record...They haven't lost a game in regulation...They've earned at least a point in the standings, every game...They've done it in both ends...Lots of offensive skill, but also rock solid defense, and excellent goaltending...This is the team to beat...if you can...

In the News of Useless People, Shitty Country singer Mindy McCready killed herself Sunday...McCready had one successful album...But became more well known for having an affair with Roger Clemens, that started when she was 15...Struggling with drug abuse, and depression, she attempted suicide multiple times, including while pregnant with both of her kids...She finally got it right this time...Hard up for money/attention she released a video of her banging some dude and talking about banging Clemens...She also did a stint on Dr. Drew's celebrity rehab....Boy does that guy suck...At least half the people on that show relapse, or die...

I'm talking about this because it's the last thing I saw before I started writing...Saw it on a facebook link from Buzzfeed...I felt the need to drop my two cents in...

"People are saying "so sad" and "how could she do that to her kids"....I say GOOD! She was useless to this world and her kids. She was on drugs when pregnant....she tried to kill herself when she was pregnant...she never truly cared about them...they're better off without her."

Of course, people didn't like this, and how judgemental I am, and decided to inform me that I was the awful person, not this shitty junkie...One women wrote this to me...

"that's a lot of judgement from a person who gets all there info about a person from the news. Do you know anything about celebrity or the public eye? Harsh words and full of judgment. Not nice. People like you are who probably fed her drug abuse and led her to such pain. I would only say this, not nice. Truly a gross statement. Look in the mirror ..................perfect?"
So I came back with this...

"No, I'm not perfect...But I'm not a junkie either...Nor have tried to kill myself multiple times...Mindy however did....Don't try and blame me because this gash couldn't handle celebrity...She put herself in the spotlight, not me...I didn't feed her drugs...Don't put this on me...I call it like I see it...She didn't care about her life or her kids...The world will be better without her being a drain on society...Yeah, I judge...FREEDOM...It's awesome!"

Then a women named Carrie Parker called me an "asshole" and a "pile of shit"...

So I said,

"So Carrie Parker, you are free to judge me, but I'm not allowed to judge this dead junkie...Typical"

Then I was called "ignorant, insensitive, unenlightened, dense...fool!"  who sickens people, while Mindy McCready was called a "poor tortured soul."

So I said, "She tortured herself...All the help is out there to be had...It's a matter of wanting the help, or just wanting a check from reality TV to get your next fix...You dolts can hate me all you want...It sickens me how you people prop up a dead junkie who didn't give a damn about her kids and try to tell me I'm a bad person."

There were a couple people on  my side...One woman saying, "If you can't handle life, don't create life twice."  Damn right!

The thing is, we spend way too much time giving a shit about celebrities...It's stupid...But even worse is giving a shit about the ones who weren't good people...Weren't much of a celebrity...And didn't even want to live...I feel  like an asshole giving this much time to this twat who didn't give a damn about her kids or herself...But maybe it will help us see that we just waste too much time on these ass-hats!

That's it for now...Have a week...

Monday Moaning

                              I'm not a fan of Sports Illustrated, but I don't mind their cover girl!

Let me start this week by saying, I try not t o hold back when I write...My personal feelings and life are always front and center in my blogs...But I'll be honest...I've been holding some things back for awhile...Since around Thanksgiving my wife has been dealing with a bacterial infection called C._diff...It was brought on by of all things, an antibiotic...She had been on this medicine for about 20 days to get rid of an infection in a tooth that needed work...When she got a serious rash, and then the horrible stomach issues, she remembered reading the info from the pharmacy, and how it could cause such things, including death...Wow,  just the drug I want to take...

There were too many tests, and too much waiting....And too much reading about C.diff...Like THIS...The idea of a fecal transplant grossed out my wife, but being the good guy that I am, I offered to shit down her throat!

Finally late in January, it was confirmed and she was prescribed medicine that often fixes the problem...If not totally, it can manage it...She just finished the meds, and things seem to be okay...Within two days of being on the medicine, the shit-fest had stopped...So that is looking better now...Just in time for family troubles...As if the stress of work, and kids, and dealing with that wasn't enough, her father who has been dealing with dementia, and Alzheimer's, has gotten really bad...Last time we were there, he was asking where Molly came from...Has no recollection of  her...My wife's mother is slowly losing some things upstairs too...The stress of dealing with my father in law has been wearing on her too...And then her brother had a car wreck, which lead to us finding out that he had a bit of a legal issue...

We spent too much time this week figuring out what was going on, and cleaning up his mess...She spent Saturday in PA. dealing with things, while I stayed home with the kids...Next she has to get with her sisters and figure out the next move for what to do about their folks...It's been a real pain in the ass...

Plus my cracked up ribs are still killing me...And I clearly wrenched something in my back during my spill, because I've been having muscle spasms that hurt like a bitch...So things have sucked lately...I'm only writing about it now, because I needed to get it off my chest, and I feel like I've been distant and distracted when it comes to writing...I can't bitch to my wife...This is all 10 times harder on her...

Okay...So, there was a positive in the sports world...Notre Dame swept Michigan in hockey this weekend...Sweeping Michigan in anything, is always good! 

In other sports news...The media was all buzzing about "The Paterno Report" that was released Sunday morning...I called bullshit right away...This report was paid for by the Paterno family...Done by people who were supporters of Paterno...2 were donors to PSU...This for the Paterno lovers, by the Paterno lovers...There is no way you can expect honesty in it...Nor should it have gotten any air time at all...Mrs. Paterno, maybe Joe never told you shit, but he knew Sandusky was a piece of shit, and he kept a lid on it, and let the child molesting and raping continue...Please lady, shut the fuck up...Your husband was an asshole....And all those still holding onto their blind loyalty to him are looking like assholes too...

There's a link to the stupid Paterno family site on the Q-o-t-D....

I watched the Grammy's Sunday night...There were some good performances, but I found it sad that most of the awards were given earlier...So many people not getting their time, while CBS couldn't stop showing us Taylor Swift singing and dancing to everyone who performed...And I'd love it if they actually put some performers on stage that we haven't seen countless times before...Sure the hipster, folksy guys get their time this year, but that will be that for awhile...But enough with Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Elton John...That old Queen at the piano reading the lyrics...Christ!

And acting like Justin Timberlake is the greatest musician ever, and we all have missed him so desperately while he's been acting...Yuck! 

Jack White, please stop trying so hard to be the Johnny Depp of rock & roll...You're so fucking unique and cooler then everyone else...You're not! and Johnny Depp owned the Viper Room, hard to get cooler then that...And I can play average, loud distorted guitar, and chuck it at the end too...Not impressed!

This week, I leave you with this...

Have a week...
