“I won’t be wronged. I won’t be insulted. I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”
John Wayne, from “The Shootist”

I went to Cracker Barrel with my wife the other day and this is how the asshole parked. It was lunchtime and they were pretty busy. So why? Is it they were to stupid to park like normal people, or just an asshole who didn’t care?

I don’t care if your driving a BMW that gives you no right to take up two spaces. I would only hope some smart ass kids would key the shit out of the dumbasses truck, and leave him a note explaining why. But if he parked like this to begin with they probably wouldn’t understand anyway.

If it were a newer truck I’d 1/2 way understand. This was an old beat up shit truck. The tag was from New York , maybe that is how they park there. I was never there long enough to see one way or another. They’d probably be the first ones to cry if they couldn’t find a parking spot and someone was double parked. Where are the cops? … oh never-mind, Dunkin Donuts is a few miles down the road.  I’m sorry but if I go 3 miles over the speed limit they are all over me, but when stuff like this happens you never see them. This is in Hernando county and I’ve been reading extremely bad stuff about them in the News!

Thank goodness for the 22nd amendment…

On February 27th, 1951, the 22nd amendment was ratified which made permanent a tradition that has profound influence on the philosophy of government in the United States of America. This amendment may not be the most well known amendment but its place in the fabric of American history cannot be overstated. That is because the 22nd Amendment mandated that…

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Thank God that back in 1951 this was foreseen or Obama would be re-elected.

What does everyone thing about “concealed weapons”, yea or nay? Do you think people should have a right to bear arms. When people carry a weapon is it increasing the likelihood of someone pulling a gun and shooting someone else.

So if we got into an argument and you thought I might punch you does that give you a right to defend yourself with a gun? Or if I hit you with a rolled up magazine or a cane can you shoot me dead? Even if I don’t shout, punch, or hit you with anything and you still feel threatened are going to use deadly force against me? Well every scenario I mentioned has happened and the party doing the shooting got off and wasn’t charged with murder. Was this justice or was this a pussy being afraid and thinking they’re a bad ass because they carry a gun.  Why do I have to carry a Glock .45, or a Smith and Wesson 44 mag to protect myself. Why not a .22 small handgun. They kill or stop and assault just as well as a large caliber gun. But a .22 doesn’t scream, look how much of a bad ass I am with this 9mm automatic.

The second amendment says, “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” But for some reason I think when our founding fathers wrote this and carry single shot firearms the thought of a semi-automatic handgun with 17 round clip was a little beyond their thought process. It only take 1 shot to kill a person so what are the other 16 for?

I don’t know the answers to any of this and I do have a “Concealed Weapons” permit. I just worry me or my sons will be out one day and call someone an asshole and they shoot us and say they felt their life was in imminent danger and shoot us.

What are your thoughts on this?

Taco Bell is introducing breakfast now… waffle tacos, breakfast crunch rap, and sausage, egg, and cheese burrito. Now why there doing this I’ll never know. I know they’ve been serving us unhealthy dinners for years but now they have to ruin my one healthy meal…breakfast?

So they say by the end of march you can stop by and pick up your waffle taco. It’s a waffle with sausage and eggs on it, with syrup as the sauce poured all over it.

The “Breakfast Crunch Wrap” is a potato cake, sausage, egg and cheese, in a crunch wrap. Oh boy the arteries are hardening now.

The burrito is the standard with sausage, egg and cheese, or bacon, egg, and cheese. Either way it’s not really the best thing you can have for breakfast. LOL

…but we all know most of us will be there to test the new breakfast out!

While typing this I keep getting the feeling that I’ve written about this before. I DID ON FEB 24, 2014 but it didn’t update…wtf? There is no sign of the article. Fuck… I was doing one everyday. I’ll have to do a replacement article.

There are just a few great documents that represent the foundation stones upon which the American system of government was built. One is the Declaration of Independence, another is The Bill of Rights. But when it comes down to the basics we always go back the Constitution of the United States of America that is our backbone of law.

The Founding Fathers and writers of that Constitution would have to be considered without question the most intelligent and well educated men certainly of their time and maybe of any time in the world.  That document was so well crafted that it has lasted as a legal standard for over 225 years with no signs that its power will diminish for the next few hundred years or more. 

The Constitution is divided into a total of seven “Articles” each of which discusses one of the divisions of government.  Articles one through three discuss the three branches of government including the legislative, the executive and the judicial.  Article four goes into depth about the rights and powers reserved to the states.  It is clear to see that the framers knew the importance of leaving much of the power of governing at the local and state level. They also understood that those rights needed to be preserved at the foundation document of the society, The Constitution.

When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.
– President Richard Milhous Nixon (Tricky Dick) – he was proven wrong.

Do you ever get the feeling that other people feel as if their time is more important than your time. Then you start to feel that you’re being taking advantage of? Sometimes that’s exactly how I feel. I truly understand that we all have busy lives. We all are going in 50 directions at the same time. But to make others feel as if they’re not as important as you or your other colleagues. If you have lunch plans with someone at noon and realize you’re not going to make it on time you should call and let them know, or to reschedule.

Being late means 5 minutes… maybe 10 to the extreme, anymore than that may need to be a reschedule. The golden rule holds true here, treat others as you wish to be treated!

Growing up we called this courtesy. What happens is when you do this to everyone else they start doing it to you. When someone else is an hour late you’d be pissed. How can you complain about it when you’ve done it yourself?

OK… I’ll get my ass off the soapbox for now.

Yes today I qualify for AARP! Yay… I now get all the discounts from AARP! I still don’t qualify for a lot of senior discounts but I’ll take the few that I can get.

I woke up and Shannon had me some coffee going and she made me some Eggs Benedict for breakfast. That is my favorite breakfast of all time. I sat and ate a relaxed breakfast and then we all got dressed to go to PECKS, in Ozello, Florida. Pecks is a seafood restaurant in the middle of nowhere. It had the best almond crusted grouper that I’ve ever eaten. I never have anything else because every time I go there that is all I get. lol

We’ll Thank You Bob and Rhonda for picking up the tab, that was awesome! Thanks Shannon for the cake, and Thank You Richie, Eric, Faith, and Isabella for the Great Birthday cards you gave me. I love all of you so much.

Today a New Chapter of My Life begins… The Decade Era of My 50’s!
