Don't want to hear about Imus anymore, you nappy-headed hos!
Man, I feel like Imus lately. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I apparently can't open my mouth without devastating people, even though I didn't mean to say ANYTHING hurtful. So, now I guess I'm just punished and can't fuckin' do anything about it.
Its not like this is the first time this kind of thing has happened. I can't even imagine the immense number of times I've uttered regretable things, usually on purpose. But this time was NOT on purpose. I was just at work and tired and... I dunno. What the fuck ever. I don't know what to do about my stupid fuck mouth.

Mentiong Imus, really goes against anything I'd like to actually talk about. It's been a goddamn media black-out since he made those completely stupid and silly remarks. I really can't say anything against it. He has the right to spew whatever retarded shit he wants. I'd fight for White Power idiots and Neo-Nazis right to march and rally and have speeches. It's their right. I don't agree, but living in a free society is all about tolerance even for intolerance. I can't defend violence though. I can't defend people trying to harm or defame others. And I can't defend lies posing as the truth. But "nappy-head hos," as ugly as it is, is Imus' opinion. It lets those who hear him know, "well, he's kind of a bigot." Or at the very least he finds bigotry funny. The interesting thing I find about it is, Imus, though I've never listened to him (though I have always known of him or about him), has always, ALWAYS, made racist, sexist jokes. His brand of humor has always been offensive.
So why now? Why Imus? So far I've heard nothing that makes complete sense. It seems like a bit of a over-reaction. I mean, it's no secret that racism is still rampant in this counrty. Just don't say niggers, I guess is the lesson. But let's all keep hating on the "sand-niggers." Um, ok, whatever. Nothing in this country has made sense to me in quite awhile.

During lunch today at work we stopped in to Hometown Buffet. Don't ask, it's just something we do every once and a while. In the conference room there appeared to be some sort of law enforcement gathering and came to find out it was a bunch of Homeland Security tools. I can't even tell you how we laughed it up imagining the Iraqi Insurgency crossing the Atlantic in catamarans made out of scrap iron from blown-up US humvees. Because, surely, they will follow us home. That's the kind of dialogue that passes for Gospel these days. The terrorist are going to follow us home.
If they did follow us back to the US, where do you think they make their first tourist stop? My money's on the Whitehouse or Graceland. It's a toss-up.

I made it home today, in a timely order, despite the way NM drivers can't fucking handle wet roads. Seriously, it gets damp and people can't seem to understand what it means to operate a motor vehicle. It's insane. Anyway, with that in mind, I usually avoid Coors, because, 1. there's too many stupid pigs who need find something better to do with their time and 2. it's almost always congested with traffic. Nonetheless, I was on it today and a fire engine came flying through in the far left lane. And me, being the most lawful driver, saw my ticket to the freeway. I pulled over to the right with everyone else and as soon as the fire engine was in range I jumped in behind it and began my speedy escape. It was almost cut short though, by some ass-head immediately flying back into the lane after letting the engine pass by. Fortunately, by luck or by fast maneuvering I was able to avoid my insurance going up. That makes yet another in a long line of traffic accidents that never happened. And if you know me, you know I drive like a freakin' crazy person.
All in a days work, I guess.
