Me-me-me-me.............

I promised Miss Silk that I'd work on a meme a while back, then I got distracted (hard to believe I know) and almost forgot about it. Then Sir Dash tagged me with another meme, that I've been meaning to get around to doing, and well I kept getting distracted from completing it also.

Five Things I miss from Childhood (From Miss Silk)
1. Antagonizing my brothers on a daily basis. I'm sure most of you will find this hard to believe, but I was a tad bit of trouble maker in my younger days and got great joy out of tormenting my older and younger brothers.

2. Pellet Gun fights. For all of you screaming "You'll shoot your eye out kid", that's what Goggles are for. But alas when I went enrolled in college my safety goggles morphed into beer goggles and got be into quite a bit of trouble.

3. Saturday morning cartoons. I've tried watching the crap they have on network T.V. and I feel sorry for kids today. With all the touchy feely everybody wins crap that they're being fed it's no wonder they can't cope with a bad grade or loosing in sports.

4. Free Room and Board. When I was younger I couldn't wait to get out of my parents house. Now that I'm out and having to pay the bills I want back in. Oh how I long for the days of sitting on my arse and playing Nofriendo for hours on end. My parents always did a damn good job of keeping the Fridge and Pantry stocked with what I was looking to snack on, I don't do nearly as well as they did.

5. Most of all I miss innocence. I used to think that humans were inherently good, now not so much. I'd love to go back to the days when I wasn't wondering if the plane I was on was going to go down. I don't want to be concerned with how much life insurance I need to ensure the Wife would be taken care of if something happened to me on a business trip. I want to go back to the days when metal detectors weren't requirements in schools. When a fight was over when you shook hands and you didn't have to worry about somebody pulling out a pistol or knife. Man how I feel sorry for today's youth.


"Five things society at large enjoys, but that I just don't get..." (From Sir Dash)
1. Ill mannered children. Judging by the number of children roaming everywhere I've traveled as of late people in general must thoroughly enjoy watching their kids misbehave.

2. Putting up with bitter shrews. With the number of middle aged women bitching at anyone and everyone that will listen a majority of society must enjoy these people. Eventually some woman's husband will more than likely whip my ass because I'm not willing to tolerate somebody being a hateful bitch. A prime example: Several months back I was at Lowes and there was a battle ax standing in line berating the young girl working the register. I'm not 100% sure what the woman's problem was, all I know is her incessant yapping was getting louder and the checkout girl was about to erupt in tears. As I stood there in line I'd heard all I could handle and interrupted the woman to ask her "Who'd lit the fuse on her tampon?". She was none too appreciative and started to set in on me, that's when I explained to her that'd I would never hit a lady; but I don't have any problems punching a bitch. For some reason she left.

3. Feminine hygiene product commercials. Is it really necessary to advertise these products on Tee Vee. Maybe I'm being callous, but if the stench from your nether regions empties the room you just entered I'm pretty sure you'll find the appropriate products to take care of the problem. As you can imagine I have a fairly vivid imagination and don't want to the mental images of a yeast infection while I'm eating my grilled cheese sandwich.

4. People's fascination with the crime of the day. I've never understood why people become so truly engrossed with the aspects of an Individual's trial. Prime examples, OJ, Michael Jackson, The Run Away Skank Bride (whatever her name is), Lacy Peterson and now it's Natalie Holloway. I'm not trying to be an Ass here. I truly hope they find Natalie Holloway and bring her home safely. I just don't see why the media feels compelled to focus on only her. Couldn't the time be better spent airing photos and details of the thousands of other missing children? Couldn't the time and effort wasted covering Michael Jackson's case have been spent tracking down the thousands of other pedophiles actively raping children? I don't get why the media and people choose to focus on one aspect that has nothing to do with them when they could be thinking big picture and solving problems that could potentially affect their family.

5. Postitots. What the hell are parents thinking allowing their pre-teen daughters to leave the house wearing clothes that would make a stripper feel naked? Parents you don't have to buy your children clothes that leave nothing to the imagination. Yes your darling little angel is adorable, but I don't want to be able to count the dimples on her ass cheeks. Yes I blame the parents since your average 9 - 12 year old doesn't have their own money to buy stripper wear. Take some responsibility for your child's action now or you can truly expect to be raising their child also.

I'm supposed to pass these on to several people; however a majority of the blogidohexiweb has already responded so I won't directly name anyone. If you haven't tag you're it. You may also feel free to leave your rants in the comments.

There I'm done, now more distractions.

Toodles.

"Five things society at large enjoys, but that I just don't get..."

Perscription medication commercials...Pharmeceutical (sp? too lazy to look up right now) must get some weird psycho joy out of advertising a product, hardly describing what it does, then telling people to "go ask their doctor" about it. I wonder how many people actually do that...especially after they list the gazillion side effects?

What a wonderful post--both of them in one!! I miss many of the same things you do (especially tormenting basil). And let me add an AMEN on the clothing for young teens. Yes, I am a mean sister and an even meaner mom. I refuse to buy my 13-year-old daughter any of the stripper wear! She is my responsibility, and I accept that responsibility with honor...and I promise to protect her honor as well!
