Breaking silence.

Dec 07, 2003 15:50

I went and saw the Last Samurai today. Great great movie. At the end I cried like a bitch, and I kept crying until the movie ended. It was emotionally compelling on the macho guy level. Kinda like football coaches who cry after they watch Rudy. That kind of deal. I didn't feel bad because the guy next to me who was around 30ish was crying too. The theater as a whole was an orchestra of sniffling.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Tom Cruise is the dollar signs. Or, to be customary, Tom Cruise = $$$.

I had a talk earlier today about people who abuse the Emergency Medical System. It pisses me off. I see the same kind of people being the repeat offenders. Well I'm going to rant about it.

I like it when a family living in the ghetto, wearing a FDNY shirt, call the EMS and need a free ride to the hospital.

THAT IS ABUSE.

I like it when a family with american flags decorated about their apartment call the EMS to deliver a baby for free.

THAT IS ABUSE.

When a bum calls 911, and the ambulance arrives on scene to a man who is well and capable and wants a ride to the hospital because it is raining, THAT IS ABUSE. It pisses me off that people like this exist. Even if he is perfectly well, he gets a free night in the hospital, and free treatment. We get the same shit pay induced by fuckheads who wear FDNY shirts.

Yeah, wear that FDNY shirt, wear 9/11 paraphernalia, IT'S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO. NO REALLY IT IS.

We may put firefighters and paramedics on a pedestal but they still get shit pay. Unrewarding and rewarding at the same time. A free service to the public taken for granted.

At least we spend our tax dollars on nukes to kill others with. In the grand scheme of things, those nukes will kill some people oversees and we'll get medical volunteers to go overseas to treat them. Bombarded by cash dollars, nuke victims are treated by underpaid EMS volunteers.

IRONY.

Sometimes I hate society. I feel blessed to meet the great people I do meet, but they are so few and fucking far between. I have friends in real life and online that make me smile, but it will never be balanced because there are at least a thousand times that many stupid people in the world.

The beauty of me ranting is that I piss myself off further by doing it.

So Andy intends to have a castle in Lithuania to house around 15 friends. Perhaps, if you are one of the said blessings in my life, then you should enlist. Join us in Lithuania, in a castle.

Where the walls of the mighty castle scotchguard us from corruption and idiocy.

I'm so pissed for Alex right now. Nicole is messing around on him, and his house got robbed.

Nicole and the robbers fall into the aforementioned category of "stupid people".

AND WHAT I DON'T FUCKING GET

We are all born with the same potential to succeed. Unless it is a rare occassion, we all have the ability to LEARN AND SUCCEED. And then we still have promiscuous girls and fuckfaced robbers.

If intent could kill, there would be dead people.

Dead stupid people.

Ranting always makes me feel self-righteous and I hate that but I'd never have to rant if I weren't provoked both directly and indirectly by STUPID PEOPLE.

Anyway, I'm going to stop myself right here. If you're gonna live in that castle with us then just sign under the dotted line.
