Myanmar, Huh? Tragic? Yes. Our Problem? No.

At the risk of sounding like a completely insensitive, bastard, I'm going to say it. Not our fight.
Myanmar's little mudslides and the spattering of rain they got. Ah....whatever.

I just heard from Bob Villa and he said that in his professional opinion, your primary domicile should not be made of mud and sticks or situated at the bottom of a huge muddy mountain on the edge of a river.

The millions of dollars of aid, we felt it necessary to send to these people, got caught in limbo or in the hands of people who didn't really need the help is hilarious to me. The freaks in our country who 'take-up-the-cause' for the nasty little sneezes of countries, without even thinking about the problems in our country, confuse me. Gee, how much could a couple millions of dollars fix in some of the inner cities in the deep south or in developing ways to get our oil out of Alaska without disrupting the Elks. Bad investment, America, very, very bad. My financial forecast from this little adventure is: the return on this Myanmar investment is SQUAT. Thanks for playing.

Noted. It's awesome to me to think these people are surprised their country is in shambles after a big rain. Yeah it might be a REALLY big rain, but for crying out loud. If you'd send your people to school and maybe mix a batch of concrete, the sky's the limit.

My advice. Buck-up and three cheers for the Commies.

Here's a Doozy, Straight From the We Report, You Deciders...

A prostitution ring in Texas started by three gang-affiliated youths, ages 17 and 16 was discovered in August when a woman, allegedly working with/for the two youths was arrested for offering a 14-year-old girl for sex for $50.

Evidently the three boys would befriend young girls who were either runaways or lived in volatile households and they would peddle them through apartment complexes. Like, any upstanding, respectable citizens the boys would beat the girls and sexually assault them for refusing to provide their customers whatever twisted perversion the ordered.

This is a tragic situation but what's even more disturbing is the reaction of one of the mother's of the girls involved in this now defunct society of pedophilia for hire -"These girls have to live with what happened for the rest of their lives," said the mother, who was not named to conceal the identity of her daughter. "These boys aren't going to serve much time. I don't think that after a year and half, they'll be ready to get back into society."

Okay Barbara, where were you when your daughter was going-down on the guy who owns the local quickie-mart? I think it's unfair to assume that mother has her daughter's best interest at heart. Mothering isn't a part-time job or a hobby as some mothers treat it. Where does she come off thinking, now that there 's something going on in her daughter's life, she is the reigning authority for what's best for her?

I'm sorry those young girls got caught up in such a despicable situation, but with some guidance and supervision it never would have happened.

In my opinion the best course of action, isn't to crucify the twisted, young men who are clearly guilty. They'll serve their time and hopefully they'll return to society with the understanding that we here in America, don't sell our young girls' bodies to quickie-mart owners. For the girls who got roped into this debacle, man-up and find another young girl you can mentor and teach from your mistakes.

Our society is so quick to sweep mistakes under the mat and pretend they never happened. Instead, why don't we realize that mistakes are teaching tools, real-time, honest-to-goodness, teaching aids. Instead of hanging their heads and letting their mothers go ballistic in the media, they should allow the circumstances mold them into strong women who can become the defenders of the younger girls in their communities.

This Completely Defeats the Purpose of Having a Blog

You loyal three. After writing this thing since 2005, I have three bloggites. I love you guys. I love my blog. I hate having it password protected. But, that's the brakes. More to come.


Piece Out.

The Liberal Left-Coast is at it Again...and the P-Word Countdown Begins...

So after 60-plus-years of fighting for the right to butt burgle and carpet buffet...the society of misfits, known as the homosexual community is now able to legally marry...each other. Granted it's only the state of California who follows the lead of Massachusetts. Sox fans eat your hearts out...I would have to renounce everything I love and cherish about the great state of North Carolina, if it were to pass legislation allowing the Q's to be legally wed. I really don't know where this country is going. Back in the day we were all about preserving the moral fiber of our country. Nowadays countries seem to be in a race to see whose moral fiber can unravel the fastest. For the full story head over to the NYTimes...

To perpetuate the gloom....This friday we are going to the password protected version of BlockThat!. Maybe one day when the drama in my life winds down I'll tear down the walls of password fortress I'm forced to create and the floodgates will open and nonsensical nonsense will spill forth into the hungry minds of the populace. Till then...read up and make sure I've got your email.

I'm Already Getting The Emails...

Shortly after I threw up the post about password protecting my little slice of internet, I received this email from a one "2cool4school" who wrote the following and wanted me to revisit a post from Winter 2005, enjoy:


Take part in the Warren Piece Method of Thinking!

I know there are a few other readers of this "horrible", "cold-hearted", "non-funny", "swing and a miss" attempt of a blog, that are up in arms over the idea of BlockThat! becoming password protected. We live in a world of uppity, over sensitive #^@&$ that think they must ruin something for everyone, simply because they lack the ability to enjoy it themselves. This is the internet! If you don’t like a web page, go to another! If you don’t like the t.v. channel, change it! If you don’t like the book you’re reading, close it! I have been reading some past posts and stumbled upon this gem, from 2005, that couldn’t be more appropriate. To those who can’t handle humor, sarcasm and negativity...cheers! More for me!

Let's Get Together and Hurt Each Others Feelings....Or We Could Just Grow a Pair and Let It Go...

We are living in perhaps the most hyper-sensitive era, ever. We are sensitive to everything and everyone regardless of anything. We need to reevaluate how we think about things. We get offended about things that have nothing to do with us. Often times we've got people jumping to our aid who seem more offended then we are and we were the ones trespassed against. People need to realize that if they choose not to take something seriously they don't have to. We as a culture are so quick to get our feathers ruffled over nothing.
Here is the Warren Piece Method of Thinking in three easy steps.
First, if someone for example calls you a 'son-of-a-crack' you should ask yourself if you care about this person's opinion. Often times if you think before you react you'll find that you don't really care.
Second, once you figure out that you don't care, don't waste your time reacting. Imagine how much energy you would have if you didn't react to stupidity.
Three, Taking offense to something is a choice. You can choose, by sheer virtue of your freedom of thought, to not be offended. Just choose to dismiss the "offense".

Do we need affirmation from outside sources so badly that we care about others opinions about us or how we conduct various aspects of our lives? I'm constantly amazed at how many people get bent out of shape over a simple comment. Get over it.

This thought process can be applied to anything; anger, sadness, offense, and any other emotion that plagues you. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be emotional, but use your head. It's so much better and you'll find that people will want to be around you more if you stay on an even keel.

As Clouds Roll in, I Gently Weep...But Alas! The SUN!

For those who don't know, I'm going through some things right now that are forcing me to take unpopular and unconstitutional steps to ward off hyper-sensitive, killjoys.

I will be password protecting; BlockThat!, starting in 1 week. I figured that would give all of my hard-core readers and my casual perusers enough time to shoot me an email with their email address so I can make sure they have unbridled access to my meanderings.

I love you guys and myself. Myself a tiny bit more, but that is only because I see myself more than you guys and I know me better than you....
