"We Have Power!"

"Out of Here"
Still no power here in the shoreline…The last time I lived here it was the same. It took a while….Its been close to 24 hours without power and counting…Surprisingly it doesn’t bother me that much…I feel bad for the people that don’t know how to handle this kind of stuff and actually get angry. Being an Electrician I remember in the past when people were upset with me for being late. I just used to turn and grin that grin I’m famous for…. Its very stressful for some…This morning I am out of here. The sky is a crisp blue and I’m heading to breakfast with friends. After, I’ve got to stop at the store, if there is a store for a few things. I packed a lunch just in case all the stores blew away. I hope there is enough warm water in the hot water heater for a shower. OMG, how inconvenient is that?

“My Advice to Normal People”
I am sitting here thinking as I am waiting for the hurricane wind to start blowing here on the Connecticut shore line…I’m sad because I can’t go the birthday party I was I invited to. That’s a bummer…A few years ago I would have thrown caution to the wind and took my chances with the Mustang. Today, no thank you.. Better safe than sorry, there are too many people out there that are, to put it bluntly “Nuts”. I have never seen anything like it. This Hurricane has almost everyone around here buying everything off the store shelves and running around in circles like rats in a cage… My advice to normal people is, stay out of the way….Its scary to watch these crazed people. You can see the fear and trepidation they feel as they go about pushing and shoving their fellow humans out of the way…In some cases literarily but you know what I mean. I think it’s the TV news that scares them…Prepare, yes but don’t hurt your neighbors while doing it…Slow down, you can’t control what is going to happen or for that matter, what isn’t going to happen

“ The Typical News Day on your Local News Channel ”
I mentioned the other day, that lately I have been going through past journals. Well I discovered this and I thought that it was worth another read. Today while competing for ratings the news channels will say almost anything.. This is your typical local evening horror show sometimes called “The 11 o’clock news”.
Written on August 13th, 2008 by me…..
What is the news? Its Interesting to see the way local news has evolved into, "Who can beat the other TV stations in describing the blood and gore on the streets?" Its true, the more gore the better.They describe that the man was shot in the chest 4 times and was killed instantly. Then the camera pans to the street to show the blood and police tape...Do we really care what happens in the city to the drug dealers? I don't know about you but I don't. Then there is the "Caught on video by a security camera." They will run this "over and over" with the warning "may not be suitable for children." Then they show a 65 year old man being hit by a car and thrown over the hood with his limp, rag doll body hitting the street. The driver then speeds away never to seen again. My personal favorite is the man or woman hit by a train then showing the blood and brain matter on the tracks. Then there are rapes and child molesters. The corrupt officials who hide there faces in a perp walk or are caught in a men's room looking for sex. The future leaders or leaders who cheat on their wives. The male coach who is accused of inappropriately touching a teen girl in school or of setting up a video camera in a girls locker room. I really enjoy the hot blond, 25 year old female teacher who had sex with her 15 year student. Oh, how I envy him. You can be sure mom told on that one......Oops, lets not forget the commercial encouraging the audience to take anti-depressants or pills to loose weight. I especially love the commercials with the loud obnoxious moron yelling at you to buy a car and lets not forget the bastard singing a stupid song about his package store. Now back to the news...A crack head breaks into senior housing to steal money and kills the 88 year old woman after he has rapes her. We must not forget the gang in Vegas who light a homeless man on fire while he was sleeping then rob a convenience store only to kill the clerk who I might add was working 3 jobs so his son could go to medical school. Now for the weather update. Rain and floods in the Midwest causing 28 children to drown in a school bus. Driver tried to drive across a flooded street only to be swept by the currant into a river. The driver survived trying to save children. I think that driver might as well have died along with the kids by the time they are done with him....Now the Local weather. Lighting strikes pregnant woman and kills her. Then, with that "idiot smile" on his face the weather man says "Back to the news. A man drills a hole in the head of his dog because the dog wouldn't listen. Woman arrested for having too many stray cats, Neighbor complained. You know the neighbor, the one with gold teeth and all the gold chains with his Yankee hat on sideways who speaks that ghetto street talk. "ITS THE DRUG DEALER THAT SHOT THE MAN 4 TIMES" I scream at the TV but they can't hear me... They show the poor lady crying as the animal control officer puts the cats she saved in the little kennels. Now the human interest story....Man has a prayer memorial for his wife and 2 daughters who were raped and murdered in their home during a home invasion. The two suspects were released from prison 2 weeks before they did this because of over crowding. They show where the home was and it was leveled. Now there is a Memorial lawn there with a plaque with the names of his wife and daughters............. The worst part is all this is true.......Time for Letterman........

"Life Has an Expiration Date"
Last night I was reading my past Journals because of my silence now. The truth is I just don’t know what to say. Each day seems the same. I have a routine just like everyone else. I read my friends Journals and a lot of them don’t post anymore and even the ones that still post seemed bored. I lost a good friend because of my attitude. I call it a difference of opinion. I miss her and think about her. She was a Bear fan. Good luck this season Kathleen. I have written about where this country is going because it bothers me. Believe me, if things don’t change it will get worse. I have written about the weather but have accepted it because it can’t be changed. All TV is boring because its geared to certain types of people, all except pro football and even that is trending towards new rules that will change the game forever. ( I can’t believe I said trending, I hope I’m not turning into one of them.) The exhibition games have started thank God. I hope I’m not disappointed. Even the movies are boring. Don’t they make real movies with real actors anymore? My past journals in 2008 were for the most part, me answering those sometimes silly questions on the front page. I’m back to that now. I think it’s a cycle. I moved to the beach last year thinking that maybe I could find a little more something but the trouble is in the summer everyone comes here looking for the same thing. Now I end up looking for quiet places where there are no people. My Mom used to say, “ Lawrence you cant win”. I’m starting to believe her. The good news is I am up to level 69 in my DS Jewel Master Egypt game.
I don’t know what’s going on but in the past week I’ve heard someone say “life has an expiration date” three different times. Now, that’s weird. Is that a warning sign? What is going on with me?

“Most Hated Person in America?”
The most hated person in America. I wonder who decided that...It must have been a poll from our most intelligent citizens in this country and around the world. The ones with the highest IQ’s. Can you imagine the brain power behind the creator of that poll? I know what you are thinking? WTF is this guy talking about…No, I am not defending her. I’m saying let it go. She is taking up too much space in your mind. She is not worth all the publicity… Its got to stop. You know, what goes around will come around. Anyone who lives with those lies and that past, sooner or later can’t live with themselves. Her mind will be a constant reminder of the death of her daughter…Above everything else, like it or not she is still a mother. You can’t take that away from her. This is something time will not heal. It will never change. As she gets older and till the day she dies the death of her daughter will hunt her. It wasn’t too long ago OJ was at the top of that hate list. I guess he moved to second or third place now…He got his. He ended up in prison…When that happened I thought see, he is right where he supposed to be…I even wrote a goodbye to OJ. Will I be able to write a Goodbye to Casey?..Time will tell. Won’t it?
The OJ piece was Written on December 6, 2008

Writer's Block: Into the wild
Today, with the way our environment is changing, the Zoo or Nature Preserves as I prefer to call them should be a safe haven for creatures because its clearly not safe out here for them. Those brave hunters or money grubbing animal killers can’t hunt in a nature preserve or a Zoo. The Aquarium is clearly a safer place for sea creatures because of oil spills…Comment… Reminder, no matter what they say, no matter what excuses they give, no matter how much they lie, no matter how much they show people cleaning birds, no matter how much they say its OK now to visit the Gulf of Mexico and I’m talking about the whole Gulf of Mexico! Its polluted and ruined for the next 1000 years. Sea creatures are dieing every day. Those birds or any of animals they cleaned have ingested enough oil to kill them. Cleaning them was a temporary fix to show the public.

“Or If you are famous, things people will remember you by in the future if you screw up”
Or “What people will think about when they hear your name.”
Or things a publicist will say they can repair but really can’t.

Rod Blagovitch….Him? Wasn’t he was just another corrupt Illinois Governor…I think he tried to sell a Senate seat to the highest bidder. He’s in prison isn’t he?

“One Bullet @.75 Cents”
A few days ago there was another potential terrorist threat at Fort Hood Texas. That’s two guys from there now. One “Alleged” murderer that killed his fellow soldiers in a waiting room and Psychiatrist no less and one AWOL potential murderer. He tried to buy 6 pounds of gunpowder. Some slick defense lawyer will have an explanation for that. God only knows what is going on in other Military installations around the world? It’s the one’s we don’t hear about that bother me. Bother me? Well, not really. I just feel bad for the innocent victims of these monsters. I wonder why some sharpshooter just didn’t take out this guy from Norway. I would have. If caught alive, it seems that they try to get away with murder by proclaiming insanity. Its like people agree or at least I do. In a sense they are insane but its not the same. Now, because a Sniper didn’t take them out they are locked up talking to Lawyers and we all know what that means. They have go to court, listen to all their nonsense, spend millions to support them, house them, feed them when all it would have cost was $ .75 cents for a bullet. Isn’t it weird that when they get caught alive they seem ready with their speeches, and insane excuses. It looks like that murderer from Norway was not only ready with a speech but he had publicity stills for TV and detailed explanations on why he would blow up people and kill those innocent kids. Someone said its religion. Now HBO’s Bill Maher is saying it’s Christian Terrorists. This statement has to be a ratings gag but you never really know. I said this in the past before. “Religion to me is a peaceful God who allows me a moment and the time to think and realize I am not in control of my destiny“. Its for me to realize that hate and anger have no place in my life. Somehow I can’t imagine any God condoning killing children. Hey, it makes you wonder, you never know? Normal people don’t do these things. What kind of upbringing did these psychopaths have? What kind of parents? The parents of these guys must be so proud now to see how their wonderful sons are behaving. Joining the military these days is NOT a good idea but I can understand being in the military. I was, but to actually kill an innocent human being. Shooting at a bunch of screaming kids. Wow, that’s heavy…Why? Killing kids, Its pointless misdirected anger. Is it anger or jealousy and rage at the greedy rich? I can see that people would be angry. Hell, I am… but to actually kill someone…That’s really over the top…Who would or could intentionally kill or hurt or even take the chance of maiming an innocent person. How would you live with yourself? To wake up in the morning knowing that you could have did something to someone that caused physical injury would be more than I could handle. I can’t imagine being so consumed with hate or revenge that I would actually hurt someone… I mean they plan and know exactly what they are doing…Its, with out a doubt, unabashed premeditated murder.
