Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf? Not America. Not today.

Osama bin-Laden: terrorist, deviant religious warrior, coward, dead guy. It’s unbelievable that he hid practically in plain sight for so long. It’s unbelievable that our “ally”, Pakistan, didn’t know about it. It is, however, completely believable that the good old USA finally tracked that dirty terrorist down and gave him what was coming to him.

We shouldn’t feel ashamed of the way it was done. Consider it fair play. A fatwa. A mission. A promise. A bullet in the brain, frankly, was too easy a way out for Osama, though. He deserved something far more … exciting. He should have at least been hung and had his head popped of like Saddam Hussein. That would’ve been a little more deserving. But, I suppose, a double-tap will have to do.

Al-Qaeda can suck it. They’ve fucked with the wrong country. Oh sure – they definitely got our attention. And how do you think they like the attention they’re getting in return? They’re being hunted down and terminated for their crimes against the world. It’s not just about the USA. They’ve been fucking with everybody. USA just happens to be the country that has the most firepower and determination to go after them – relentlessly.

Sleep while you can, “freedom fighters.” You’ll be on the run until we get you. And you will be gotten.

I usually try to be a little bit P.C. and balanced in my opinion. I’m giving you fair notice, right now, that today is not like that.

In the past few years, it’s become increasingly annoying to see “China” tagged as the manufacturing place of origin on pretty much every item that I pick up… even at giant AMERICAN retailers like Wal-Mart. Seriously – we, as a country, have become totally dependent on China.

Folks – China doesn’t even like us! China likes our money and they would like to annex us as part of its Communist empire.  But China doesn’t like us! We are everything the Chinese government doesn’t want its people to be. And we, America, are sucking Chinese cock all day long every day. (more…)

I think it is probably not uncommon, when a person whom you know dies, to feel the impulse to subject one’s self to inebriation. In fact, to subject one’s self to extreme inebriation.

Is it some sort of primal drive to push one’s self outside the envelope of the realm of perceived reality in a sub-conscious effort to be closer to the realm of those who have transcended our world?

I  don’t know but it happens to me pretty much each time someone I know dies. It’s not a sensations of grief … it’s not quite a celebration of the passing to another level of existence, either. It’s nearly that though.

To leave one’s self as much as possible without dying and actually crossing over that line is somehow compelling. In that context, addictions are more understandable. But this is more of a binge. Not a habit. More of a … fuck, I don’t know.

Another person I know has gone … died. And I’m, once again, drunk … in some sort of effort. Some sort of effort to separate from my reality and try to perceive that which cannot be perceived.

I am numb. Maybe that’s the goal? Numbness … the absence of normal self?

It is. I am. Tomorrow I will feel magnified aftershocks.

Stupidity.

If you take the word “merry” and trace its roots, you might find it implies not only joy and happiness but it also alludes to being a bit tipsy or drunk. I, for one, have no problem with that at all — and so I wish you all the Merriest of Christmases!

May the New Year bring us all better fortunes and more love than the year we are leaving behind. Let’s all make an honest attempt to be even just slightly better than the person we have been and contribute to the betterment of our world one by one.

Commit an act of random kindness. Offer a smile and a helping hand to somebody you don’t even know. Make a point to be nice whenever you’re feeling grumpy. Remember that we’re all in this together.

Cheers and peace to you all.

ag•nos•tic -noun

Definition from Dictionary.com:

1.	a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.

2.	a person who denies or doubts the possibility of ultimate knowledge in some area of study

Word History: An agnostic does not deny the existence of God and heaven but holds that one cannot know for certain whether or not they exist. The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?sis, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—”ists,” as he called them—who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.
