Oh Holy Shit

For christmas this year the state of Utah got gay marriage which is fine with me. Of course it isnt sitting well with the mormons. I suppose this is a bit of an understatement.  Get over it and read your bibles. Then when you are done examine the words and the roots of them also taking into consideration the context at the time. After all sixty or seventy years ago being gay was an emotional state with no sexual context. As if that wasn't bad enough for those in control check this one out. This one I am particularly fond of as a similar scenario happened with me. There is a class action lawsuit being filed against the Utah Highway Patrol and some broad (perhaps the chief cant recall her name)  in regards to false DUI arrest. As many people know it is a costly experience up front, and for those who make a living driving a kick in the ass. I hope all the pigs who wanted to harass people who follow the bibles admonition fond in Psalms to "drink wine and let the heart of mortal man rejoice", get their asses canned.  Paul even told Timothy to drink wine for his stomach.

Another thing mentioned in the bible is Jesus' words to his apostles "though you are in the world be no part of it". That along with his avoidance of political issues should be heard loud and clear that trying to force people to live by your religious principles through a political position. So Mitt give thanks that you lost, although you've been lost for years       

Oddly enough it just seems to be the UT mormons that are so pigheaded. The ones I've known in AZ, ID, and WA have been upstanding people. Maybe they think the other guys will pull their weight.

America's THINK FOR YOURSELF movement

Being one with a disdain for, well, almost everything, the recent twitter ipo was the final straw. People flocked to the stock like sheep, not realizing that this too will pass. Already there is tout to be the next big thing. Either way the proliferation of social media (media in general for that matter) and technological gadgets
has been the last straw. But is it possible to have a Think For Yourself movement?  Think about it.

Here are a few thoughts/bumper sticker ideas that hit me on Thursday.

Its called TWITter for a reason

You dont look too SMART with
that PHONE glued to your head   

And for my fellow Bob Dylan fans

Dont follow tweeters watch your parking meters


I've also come up with an idea for a new website called "Buy my idea"
People with no capital or skills who have what they believe to be good ideas list them for potential investors or straight out buyers of just a concept.

I have proof

Since I arrived here in Saint George I have been mentioning that St G has the worst drivers I've ever seen, frequently commenting that driving 5-10 miles under the speed limit wont get you to heaven. Unless of course you take into account that driving in such a manner is dangerous or road rage will get a person shot. Just a reminder, heaven doesn't admit idolators. Oh, so my proof. After two years I decided to get a UT license. The next step of course is up dating the insurance info. Bam, my insurance jumps eighty dollars. Need I say more?  

"Where have you been my blue eyed son?"

I've been out fighting dragons with my friend Ted Kazinski
Shoveling dirt into the grave of deception
Jousting at windmills disguised as cell towers
Working like a dog thats humpimg a log
Getting paid splinters in uncomfortable places

Here is a thought that came to me last night. Noah got drunk and passed out naked and it was the one who looked down upon him who fell out of Gods graces.

I suppose it had to do with the "people" I am surrounded by. I had a conversation with a lady at work who told me she is a Mormon. I was shocked. I had been through this before when I found out some of my supervisors and co employees were, but this paired with a list of others through me for a loop. It seems that 75-80% are of the faith yet I would only have thought it of maybe 20. I suppose it is just a numbers game. I imagine the LDS church resembles Joseph Smith's concept of Mormonism as much as Catholicism reflects first century Christianity.

Sorry Madge,(and others who fight the good fight) but these people even give my tongue a run for the money. I do have a theory about this. The Mormons I have known in WA, AZ, and ID, were/are decent people, here not so much. Could it be that when on their own they know they are the representatives of their faith, where as here they feel that they can let their bishops take the lead and they just go along for the ride? No, my supervisor is a bishop and though he wont see a movie rated R what comes out of his mouth is NC17 at best. Any insight out there? 

Oh well, its getting noisy here so I believe I will go to a wifi free space.

I'll just sit here on this bank of sand and watch the river flow

Good Friday came early this year. March 15th and 81 degrees so I spent a couple hours in my back yard. Well about a half mile down the trail. Despite living in a "city" I get a nightly bull frog serenade, see lizards, king snakes, bull snakes, deer, jack rabbits, horses and cows as well as all sorts of birds including road runners and obviously hawks.

If obama wants to reward illegal immigrants with citizenship shouldn't we reward obama's assassin with the white house?

looking out again

When I look out my window, what do you think I see...

Yeah, Donovan. Of course the best version is by Stephen Stills and Al Kooper, but aside from that here is what I see.  (you may want to put these on full screen to better see the subject matter)

This morning
