So I guess it is about time for my annual rant. For those unfamiliar with it I will explain. About once a year I get so f-ing mad about something that I have to either vent by writing a rant, or go kick some old lady in the street. Since I personally feel that kicking old ladies is impolite not to mention illegal in every single state in the country...although Alaska has been known to look the other way during the winter months and New Jersey is busy with other issues more pressing than old lady kicking, I resort to writing my rants. I will warn you that my rants are fairly controversial and on more than one occasion have resulted in me being unfriended like um oh whats her name did last year. I have had a rough few weeks lately compounded by several factors beginning with a very young friends totally unexpected suicide and lastly with the loss of my buddy Pilgrim. The last 10 days have added to the stress level with a very high work load plagued by idiots and incompetents who have made work 3 times harder than it needed to be and a puppy making 3 hours of sleep per night with bi-hourly interruptions to go out and pee the norm....if you can catch him that is. OK- Here comes the rant...I know I know get on with it already. About 9 or 9:30 this morning I was at work in a fairly big house with a fairly tight schedule. I had already had it out with the painter, the tile guys, the stucco guys etc about who was going to work in the house today. By that time I had won all of the battles and was finally actually working. My phone was blasting music at high volumes into my headphones and all was well. I suddenly noticed a woman standing in the front entryway. I pulled the earphones and asked if I could help her assuming that she was the new homeowner. She took a deep breath and proceeded to witness the gospel of the lord to me. She continued witnessing the gospel to me at a fairly high volume nonstop for about 3 minutes telling me how god loves me and how I can repent for my sins and go to heaven and blah blah bah bullshit bullshit bullshit until I got totally fed up and began screaming obscenities at her until she shut up so I could get a word in to tell her that she was trespassing on private property and was in violation of several state local and OSHA laws involving morons coming onto a jobsite that is clearly marked as being closed to the public and anyone not specifically authorized to be there. Now get out. I have endured thousands of posts by people I really care for touting the oh reverend shiny guy in the sky and have held my tongue but tonight there were not one, not two but six religious postings. I have really had enough. By all means feel free to believe in whatever shiny guy in the sky trips your trigger and floats your boat. Feel free to give all of your hard earned money to a bunch of (for the most part) free loaders who sit back in fancy robes and hold out their hand for you to fill with cash that you worked damn hard to get and you and your family really need to keep the lights on and food on the table so that he and the cardinal (bird?) and the bishop (chess piece?) can run down and buy a new Cadillac or Lincoln or if you live in Phoenix a new Jaguar. Feel free to fill your kids heads with boogeyman stories about the bad man in the red suit with horns who will trick them into being bad so the shiny man will cast them out and the will burn forever and ever and ever in a lake of fire.....yep...nice guy that shiny man. To conclude my rant...feel free to worship your chosen shiny man or super hero or cluster of different colored balloons for all I care but leave me out of your foolishness. Religion has a place I suppose...kinda like smoking pot, doing meth or tieing up your wife or husband to the staircase while one of you wears a Goldilocks costume and the other wears leather suits and plays with whips. These things all fall under the keep it to yourself because I really really dont want to know category. I am not now or in the future interested. I work hard for my money. You and your shiny man cant have it. I get damn few days off. I will not waste one second of the few I get listening to someone talk about their favorite shiny man and then hold out their hand...for my hard earned money. Religion is a bunch of crap created by a few smart guys who figured out that fear of punishment and hope for future rewards were the two best ways to get the stupid people to give them money to teach the stupid people how to avoid the punishment and reap the rewards. Before long they had written a handbook so other smart guys could use it to fool other stupid people. You can go take a Philosophy class and learn the history...or watch this clip and George Carlin can sum it all up for you in about 10 minutes. Rant concluded. Thank you for your participation and please feel free to donate all that money you have been wasting to a worthwhile cause like Wikipedia, your local Humane Society, Make a Wish etc. I wont start a new rant about Goodwill or the march of Dimes or any organization that sends a single penny out of this country as long as there is even one kid here who actually needs it. https://youtube/watch?v=8r-e2NDSTuE
