The Government can lick my foot....

Just a brief rant.
I think.
For reasons I have yet to determine, the Indiana state Government has denied my unemployment benefits.
No warning. No explanation. Just gone.
Do they know or even CARE about the problems they have caused me?
Never mind, don't answer that, I know.....
I just wish I knew WHY.
Was it because I was dumb enough to be honest and tell them about my passing a course to become an Ordained Pets and Animals Minister?
I would LIKE to think my religion would NOT get in the way, but...this IS the government we are talking about!
It is a FREE course! Fine, it will not immediately (or maybe NEVER) translate to $$$$.
Does EVERYTHING I do have to mean $$$$? No personal enrichment? No ministry?
I took it because my church, Unidiversal Charismatic Christian Faith and Diversity Evangelism ( http://www.unidiversal.com/ ), hopes to get to full-on Pets and Animals Ministry going.
We want to help elderly/disabled/low income people get nutrious food for their pets. Take the pets to the vet for vaccinations (NOT cheap..trust me), assist in their daily care if needed, and hopefully set-up a FREE Spay/Neuter Clinic.
I know this is a dream of the future...but I do hope I am not being punished for preparing for the future.
We also had to take an assessment test for unemployment.
Lets just say that beyond the basic Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide....my math skills are....lacking.
I failed the Math portion.
Look, I do not WANT a job with Math involved, okay?
I also declined an offer to work in a Commission only Insurance Sales job.
Seriously...me? Selling Insurance? For Commission?
I could make better money as a stripper!!! (Where they would pay me to "Put it ON, for the love of GOD! Get DRESSED already....My eyes, my eyes...!"..)
I am just so frustraited with the "system" right now!
Of course, I can't get any answers, yet.
If you hear about some weird woman with red and purple hair setting fire to an Indiana unemployment office.....could you stop by and help my husband with our animals?
He's gonna need it.

Hold on to your hats, kids!!! Mama is in a BAD mood

And yes, I DO have my meds..it's just been a rough few days..take it or leave it...

I have these neighbors that are very kind to me. Which is difficult since I AM a freak...it's true.
They are a sweet young family with three adorable, wonderful children, the best behaved darlings you have EVER seen. I think the WORLD of them.
But....they are conservative. ME...not so much.
They are SO freaked out over a "Black-Baby Killer" in Office...Oh. My.Head.
What IS IT with these STUPID "One Issue Voter" people??? So, that is a GOOD thing?? That you did NOT vote for CHANGE because of ONE...FREAKING...ISSUE????
So, lets talk ABORTION...you don't like it, fine..neither do I. BUT...if these women HAVE these babies that they cannot/will not care for...who will care for them???
Angelina Jolie, Madonna and Mia Farrow have done their part with adoption...WHAT exactly do the REST of you plan on doing? Anything???
Will you Foster a child? Adopt one? Be a Big Brother/Big Sister? What about the "difficult" kids? Will YOU be there for them?....for 18 years..??? Really???
This is what I am saying. People LOVE to speak out agaist ABORTION... but what will YOU do about it....besides carry a sign....?
Think about it....
A 19 year old white girl in my town was annoyed at the BIG DEAL people were making about Barak Obama being the First BLACK President..
Oh..a big deal? Too much? Really?? Biznitch, did your skinny little ass ever actually GO to your history classes?? Shut your STUPID skinny-white mouth...you have no CLUE what the generations before your ungrateful-ass went thru to make Obama a possability. Shut. Up!
Some people that I know are now worried that black people will think they are "important" because we have a Black President....
Ummmm...okay...because for the last several hundred YEARS we have had only ONE type of person in charge...in this supposed "melting pot" of a community, a COUNTRY...???
Whatever.
Yeah, HATE to think the Black folk might think they are..PEOPLE or something....

Oh yeah, and that "Gay Agenda"..wow, did I miss that? Because I LOVE sequins! Sparkles! Rainbows! O h YEAH BABY!!
The GAYS will take over an make the ugly buildings FABULOUS! The lame music AMAZING! They will...oh..wait...what?
They only want Equal Rights? To visit their life-partner in the Hospital? To Marry their HighSchool sweetheart? To be..people??
Well, CRAP. That's just so...NORMAL..so...HUMAN...
Where is the controversy in THAT?
Hmmmm...am I missing something?

And have I told you I really don't trust humans? As much as I do want Gays/Blacks/Jews/Muslims/Asians/Transgenders/Latinos/Hindus/Bi-sexuals/Buddists/Aethists..ect...to have their fair and EQUAL RIGHTS....
I really do not like/trust people.
People lie. People want you to feel guilty. People have..."motives".
Animals are transparent. They are who they are..for better or for worse.

MY goal for 2009 is this...to be more ANIMAL that HUMAN.
Humans HATE because someone is DIFFERENT...
Animals HATE because someone HURTS them...
and even then they do not hold a grudge..they only PROTECT themselves and their family from futher pain.

So there it is. People suck. Animals rock. Gay people are freaking cool. Black people are in charge.
And I like it that way.
Screw everyone else.

Randomness.....

FINALLY!!!!!! 2008 is almost over!!!!! What a horrible year for so-oooo many people. Here are some random thoughts from my crazy mind....:
My husband is a political "junkie", he just loves to watch that stuff. So tonight we were watching some "2008 Year-in-Review" stuff. They had snippets of several of Obama's speeches.
Oh!!! I wanted to vote for him all over again!! he is one of the BEST speakers of all time!!!
Yeah, I know, there's the "Rick Warren" stuff......backwards, GLBT-Hating pastor chosen to give the prayer at the inauguration.
I don't LOVE that choice either. And I thought Warren's whole "Purpose Driven Life" deal was a bit saccrine.
But, Obama is the President-Elect of a VERY large and diverse nation. He is a politician. He must pander/appease at least a little bit to get things done.
He's still myPRESIDENT....and he is still FABULOUS in my book.
I cannot WAIT for him to be if office!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear God....WHY did Indiana leagalize fireworks for New Years????? My 3 dogs are SCARED TO DEATH of them!!! They are totally freakin' out right now!!!!!!!! I HATE MITCH DANIELS.

I still hate being forced to be on "Eastern Daylight Time" as opposed to CENTRAL Daylight Time like we should be on. I HATE MITCH DANIELS. (He's Indiana's Govener by the way...)

The sick, worthless guy in California that dressed-up like Santa and killed his ex-wife and her family and maybe other people and set fire to the house and then killed himself....
That is seriously sick beyond belief. Supposedly the first person her shot was an 8 year old girl!!!!
I hope he rots in hell.
But the weird thing that bothers ME (the animal lover), is WHAT happened to his beloved DOG??????
Supposedly he and his wife (that he KILLED) had a GORGEOUS brown Akita (I have an Akita-Chow mix) named Saki that this sick dude LOVED.
The (now dead) ex-wife got him in the divorce. The sick dude was crushed.
So now the ex, the sick dude, and her whole family is dead..........WHAT THE FU%K HAPPENED TO THE DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is he okay? Did his daddy kill him too? If not WHO is taking care of him?!?!???!?!?!?
These are the things I worry about.

Dear Lord I am so-ooo worried about that dog.

So a guy in my town I don't know sent me a friend request on myspace. (He is a friend-of-a friend). He billed himself as the "Sickest Freak" I'd meet on myspace.
I accepted. I can deal with "sick freaks"..as long as no animals are involved.
He DELETED me a week later because of the "GAY stuff" on my site......

I AM TOO SICK FOR THE SICK FREAKS!!!!!!!!!!

I am cool with that.

Did I tell you a bunch ofmy former classmates (LAkeland Christian Academy) deleted me on facecbook because I am "possessed by Satan" and "decieved by the Devil" because I have... GAY FRIENDS!?!?!?!?
I Hate People....

I don't fit in anywhere.

I hope 2009 is better for EVERYONE out there. And I hope I can be a blessing to as many people and animals as possible in 2009.
I Love you ALL!

RADIO DAZE..............

Grown-ups LOVE to ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. For awhile I think I answered "dancer".
But, oooops! I am NOT graceful. Hmmmmm...what next?
Then I started answering "artist". I loved to color!
Oooooops again! Turns out there isn't a big market for crayola art. And I never progressed much beyond the stick figures in the drawing department.
Lets see, what else? Animals! I loved animals!
Even though that has always been part of my life (mom rescued animals ALL the time!), the pay for an animal activist is strangely lacking.
NEXT!!!!
Finally, I came upon an idea that just might work.....MUSIC!!!! Of course! I listen to music all the time! Even had my very own orange plastic record-player. Played mom's old 45's everyday.
(Yes, I did just say record player and 45's.....and I'm not talkin' SPF here).
However, I can't sing. Trust me, it's frightful! I liked the IDEA of playing an instrament. But actually PRACTICING.........not so much.
Then, I discovered RADIO!! You mean I could talk (LOVE to do that!), and listen to music all day.....and get PAID for it??? YAHOO!!!!!!
That described my entire career as a teenage! Talking and playing music! YES! This radio thing was the answer!

I actually started when I was about 14 (1984...the year...not the George Orwell book). How I got my headphones on over all that 80's teased-out-aquanet-schelacked hair I will never know!

Mom drove me to work (not old enough to do it myself). I started "interning" which was great because back then radio interns actually LEARNED stuff as opposed to getting coffee and doing stupid stunts for the Morning Guys like they do now.

PLUS, you had to be liscensed by the FCC back then to run the equiptment. I was so proud when I finally got that thing! Better than a diploma!!
As soon as I graduated High School, I got a full-time (paying) radio gig. LOVED EVERY MINUTE!
Lots of crazy stuff, met many amazing people, worked a wide variety of formats. Too much stuff to tell you about right now! But it was great (overall), never regreted those years!

I left radio in May of 1999 (another VERY long story...will blog on that later). You have know idea how bummed I was that I wasn't going to be able to play Prince's "1999" on the air that New Years Eve! (It's a radio thing....trust me).

Radio is so different now. In a way I think I got out just in time. Satellite and internet radio was on the rise. The FCC was deregulating left and right, so a few huge companies owned ALL of the stations. More "recorded" programming. Less freedom to experiment, have fun, actually DISCOVER new music.
And trust me, even though "payola" is illegal.....it happened ALL THE TIME!!!! Thus, consultants controled EVERYTHING we said and ALL the music we played.
By the way....consultants were stupid AND very corrupt....not a good combo.

But it was an incredible experience! And lots of fun! Tell you all more about that world some other time..........

Okay...I'm new here....

So, I am currently rocketing towards 40, and I have (FINALLY) entered the computer age!
My dear friend Seth, out of the kindness of his heart, just gave my my FIRST computer. Okay, it's really a hand-me-down, but beggars can't be choosers!

And, yes, it is nearing the end of 2008, and this IS the first time IN MY LIFE I have owned a computer. Sad, I know!

I'm not yet sure what this will turn into, but I am hoping it will be another "positive" outlet for all the bizarre ideas, thoughts, fears that enter my crazy mind.

I suffer from clinical drepression (yeah, I know, who DOESN'T these days?), so hard telling what you might read here, depends on the day.

I can tell you this much, I love animals (ALL of them, even the "ugly-cute" ones). People that abuse, neglect, torture, or mistreat animals are the lowest form of "life" there is. And if you are in any way involved with/watch/support-by-lack-of-action the worthless "sport" of dogfighting.....I hope you die a long, slow, violently painful death..........that way you can know a FRACTION of the torment you but these animals through!!!!

I don't USUALLY get into politics, ( I am eqaul opportunity when it comes to politicians....I don't trust ANY of them!), but this past year was a bit different.
I am so happy and proud that Barak Obama is set to be our next president!! It is about time we had something other than "white", male" and often "old" in the White House!!
That being said, I know he is human. He WILL make mistakes, he WILL fail in some things, and he WON'T be perfect.
But......it was time for a MAJOR change. We needed to switch it up. This is the first time I have ever REALLY followed an election, or even CARED what the outcome would be!
YES WE CAN, baby! Seriously, even if you don't like Pres-Elect Obama, you gotta admit that he is an INCREDIBLE speaker!! The man could read the ingredient list on a cake mix out loud and tears would well in my eyes as I said "Amen, brother, preach it!"

And if I hear ANYONE else say something about himbeing a Muslim, I swear I will punch them!
And so what if he WAS a Muslim....SO FREAKING WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What on earth is wrong with that? Does it say somewhere in the constitution that our President HAS TO BE a CHRISTIAN???? Don't think so!
I hope someday we DO have a Muslim President! And a Jewish one! Maybe Hindu, Buddist whatever-other-religion-I- can't- remember President!
While we are at it, maybe a female or Latino President!
And dare I say it..... I hope someday (in my lifetime would be AWESOME) we have an (openly) Gay President!! All of those groups (and more) are members of our United States, shouldn't THEY be represented too??
Isn't this country suppose to be a melting pot??? Then lets start melting baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew.....blogging is fun!

I am also a lover of many kinds of music, NOT into country much. I worked in radio as an on-air personality for 15 years. THAT is a whole 'nother blog...................!!!

Okay, I guess this is good for an "intro" to my life as a blogger.

In case you haven't noticed, I firmly believe in Diversity. I have friends from many religions, ethnic/racial backgrounds, sexual orientations/gender identities and so on.
I will admit I have some VERY srtong opinions, and I am EXTREMELY Stubborn. (Just ask my poor husband....God bless him!). But I truly think we need to have eqaulity for the races, for GLBT peoples, for all religions, for people with disabilities ( again, friends with MANY people in that catagory), and for animals. (How I would LOVE a medi-care type thing for the furry babies!).
I have always been an odd mix of personality traits. Shy but talkative, open-minded and yet "closed-minded" to STUPID PEOPLE, friendly but afraid to trust.
Over-all I am too normal for the strange people and too strange for the noraml people.
I fit in everywhere and no where at the same time!! (Good at a party....not so fun the rest of the time)......Is it possible to be BOTH conservative AND Liberal???? Does that make me...a...Librative.......? WHO KNOWS!

Peace people, and if you don't love animals, just go away now. You're NOT gonna like me!
