i wish we could make being a douche bag illegal.

happy hump day everyone!  hope you're all having a pleasant day so far...i know i am or was until these storms popped up.  oh well...hope everyone stays safe!

• anyway i just want to start off by saying if you're one of those dudes with a tough guy attitude...please check it at the door when it comes to talking to me.  this includes face to face or facebook whatever...and stop telling me you'll "whip my ass"...no you won't, you'll just talk about it incessantly every time you see me.  it doesn't impress me in the least little bit.  you being smaller than i am (because guys my size don't need to talk trash to boost our confidence) and trying to look hard really just makes you look like a dick.  why even try?  people like you should really have their asses beaten on a weekly basis until you stop acting like a redneck. your big bad truck or your tricked out honda civic doesn't give you superman powers either...you're just a little boy trying to prove himself...give it up, it doesn't work.

• i wanna tackle another touch subject...and a very sensitive one as well...racism.  now being from the south racism is prominent everywhere and everyone knows someone or IS someone who is a complete asshole racist.  i am an equal opportunity hater.  if you're white and you're a douche bag i won't like you...if you're black and you're a douche bag...again, i won't like you.  hispanic, asian...whatever...don't be a tool and you're okay by me.  that being said there is some definite ignorance in white and black communities especially.  families grow up being taught one way or another and instead of making progress in our relationships with one another we seem to be going in reverse.  take that obama guy for instance...i don't dislike him because he's black.  that has absolutely nothing to do with it.  in fact i'm glad we've gotten to the point in our country where we can have a black president.  i dislike him because i think he sucks at his job and i think with the approval rating he has most americans agree with me.  anyway, i'll never forget talking to a former coworker about the upcoming 2008 election and after telling her i had no intentions on voting for obama, she looked me square the eye and said "you're just not voting for him because he's black!  i know it!".  i've never wanted to strike someone so bad in my life.  i thought "how ignorant can you possibly be?".  here's the thing...we all have our fun with one another but when it comes down to it we're all equal folks...no one is better than someone else because of skin color.  if you're gonna look down on someone look down on idiots that make the negative stereotypes of any race true.  the hood rat thugs, the white trash, and whatever other stereotypes suck at life.  don't hate someone for being a different color than you are.  thats just being a simpleminded fool.

• i guess thats about enough for one day.  even though the above paragraph was a fairly positive spin on trying to change one of our biggest shortcomings as a society, i'd also like to include another life lesson.  if someone is being hateful, do your best to walk away from the situation.  i know i sound like a hypocrite saying that since i tend to get in a lot of arguments myself, but don't be like me.  do your best to walk away and diffuse a nasty situation before it gets started...this includes fighting, arguments, talking trash on facebook or text, or whatever else the situation may be!  you never want to find yourself in any danger due to someone's lack of decorum.  so instead of typing up a nasty status message or bashing someones face on the bar...take a step back and think...what is this going to solve?

hope you all enjoy this!  thanks for reading and please vote on my poll and subscribe! :)
