The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Ok....

First The GOOD, and this is sadly not a frustration at all, but if you are seriously into up and coming musicians that can actually SING then you need to check out http://www.crystaljeffers.com/ . This girl will blow you away, I got to see her in concert at a unknown wine shop, and man not only is she gorgeous but amazingly talented. Her site is new so she is always looking for support by linking her site out or just saying hello. I just saw that she now has some music on her page to listen too. It's these little things that keep me from punching babies due to pure frustration.

Speaking of punching babies let's talk about THE BAD. Simple frustration is the, "Why are there no real fixes to our Nations problems?" I mean in a election year one would think that we are going to have someone people stand up and start giving some answers to the F-up'd issues we have nationwide. I know that some candidates are giving lip service to our issues, but no real facts have been given to the American people as too how we are going to fix the War, Poverty, Job Loss, Recession, Home Lone's, Environment, etc. I am looking toward Obama right now since he maybe offering vague answers to these problems, but he is the only one that is addressing the fact that the damn is broken and before we can build a new damn we need to stop the leaking from the old one before everything is washed away. Plainly put he is the only one that is standing up and saying we need to fix what we have before we can move forward.


On that same note, THE UGLY, "How dumb can people really be?" I know we all want to participate within the current dialogue dealing with the candidates for president. I know we all have some of our own views on the the election, but why are we listening to email forwards from people we don't even know, and even worse from people who believe what they read in a EMAIL FORWARD. I have received emails telling me that Obama is Muslim, that Hillary is a racist, that McCain is funded by evil special interest groups the list goes on. I receive emails from anonymous people that I delete immediately...WHY? BECAUSE ITS A FORWARD FROM SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW. I really never read forwards, since they flood my email, and since most people are to lazy to write me themselves.

Another reason is well, most forwards or anonymous emails are false and are fishing for information about you. Do you really believe in a forward that Hilliary is racist or Obama is Muslim when in the same "inbox" you receive notices that you won a million dollars, that if you send a particular email to 10 or 20 of your friends Bill Gates will send you $100, or that your log in and password was lost at a bank you never heard of and you need to resubmit your information...really....I mean really really?

Don't be an idiot, don't forward crap to your co-workers, friends, or family saying, "Check this out OMG" when in fact if they read it and realize that you can be that much of a chode for sending /believing such nonsenses that they question wanting to know you...do you really want that? I hope not, let me tell you my frustration comes from people like this, that read political information in a forwarded email and then go vote!

Thanks for believing the crap in your inbox, by the way if you want to send me your personal information I will make sure all your dreams come true. Just include your bank account, full name, and social security number and I will double the money you send me in only 1 hour, that's right 1 hour. How can you lose...schmuck!

Okay, although I completely agree with the blog regarding email forwards....I need to expand upon this...I actually read the majority of email forwards I recieve, particularly when they are referencing an important topic such as...who our next President will be...because my favorite thing to do is to read the email, laugh out loud to myself, and then research the crap out of the supposed information regarding a person, place, or thing. And much to my appeasment, 99.9% of the time, they are false! Why would someone want to forward all 112 of thier friends information that is totally untrue! I don't want to hear your lies...or let them fill up my inbox...DO YOUR RESEARCH! If you have time to read the email and forward it, you have time to type it into Google and check it out for yourself. You need to know the facts, as intelligent beings of this earth, why do people not learn the facts? In this day and age, it is not difficult to gather an abundent amount of information regarding a particular topic in less than two minutes. Don't be lazy...

Do people still do that with e-mails? I wouldn't know. Currently I do not read most of my e-mails. I stopped in 2003 when I couldn't find the "real" e-mails from within the thousands of jokes, scams, political rants and ads for penile enlargment (they all work by the way).

With the lack of television to watch these days, I already feel bombarded with politicus maximus to the point of nausea. The last thing I want is it to follow me to my inbox.

Btw...I forwarded this post with the subject, "OMG, you have to read this"
