To my lawmakers in Washington

Are you slashing the budget because you can, or are you actually thinking about what you're slashing. As it is, it comes across as your efforts are blind and arbitrary, without concern to consequence or results.

I'm totally for fiscal responsibility, however, you are not even cutting the budget wisely. Medicare unavailable to those born after 1957? Are you on crack? Cutting Planned Parenthood funding, even though abortion isn't paid for by federal funding? Are you stupid? Cutting NPR funding because their independent reporting exposes the Republican and their misguided Tea Party followers for the dumbasses that they really are. Are you dumbasses too? Going after the Health Care Act, when you're still getting government health insurance? Hypocritical, isn't that?

I strongly resent the GOP and the Tea Partiers for their antics in destroying the country. Again, totally for fiscal responsibility, but even that has to be managed with care.

Grrr.... Too bad we in Florida can't recall our federal representatives in Congress.

I hate tourists

I resent risking my life driving to work, where I have to 'create magic' for ungrateful, pissy and angry tourists with unrealistic expectataions. Learn how to drive, goddammit, as I'm over unsafe driving.

Oh yeah, if you want coffee that tastes like the crap you drink back home, or Starbucks products, you can just get the fuck home, or go use your GPS and get your sorry ass to a Starbucks. It will taste better, for a lot less than we're charging you for.

I love my job, as my co-workers and the tourists that are grateful that we are here for them make it all worth while. It's just the ones that are a pain, can ruin a day.

To certain people....

So, our friends that feel that we are no longer worthy of your presence....

Would be nice if you told us why before we find ourselves cut off, or out of favor with you.

Totally understand that people move on to greatness. But don't forget those who were friends before you found it.

Not bitter, not angry. However friends share their victories and defeats with each other.

I dedicate this song, Chester....

I dedicate this song to all those who are fighting for their freedom, in the Mideast, the Sudan, Burma and elsewhere.... Courage!

Let tyrants shake their iron rod,

And Slav'ry clank her galling chains,

We fear them not, we trust in God,

New England's God forever reigns.

When God inspir'd us for the fight,

Their ranks were broke, their lines were forc'd,

Their ships were Shatter'd in our sight,

Or swiftly driven from our Coast.

The Foe comes on with haughty Stride;

Our troops advance with martial noise,

Their Vet'rans flee before our Youth,

And Gen'rals yield to beardless Boys.

What grateful Off'ring shall we bring?

What shall we render to the Lord?

Loud Halleluiahs let us Sing,

And praise his name on ev'ry Chord.

--Chester, William Billings

So, it's been a while since I've written something

Yeah, I need to write more often.

So, I went to Seattle, moved the shop, getting ready to declare bankruptcy, broker than hell. And so f-ing down about a lot of stuff. Had a couple of auditions, got cast in a piece of shit play, but got totally screwed over by a really bad script, and a director that doesn't have a clue how to do her job, for which I professionally and quickly dropped out. Just commemorated my mom's 10th anniversary of her death. Stuck at a low paying job with no prospects in the immediate future. Ocean Park is about to fuck me over again, I think. Dumbass chinks. Trying not to be a victim, but circumstances make it hard not to fall into that hole. It is so hard to climb out of a hole when you've been kicked repeatedly. I mean, why bother to get up?

Then there's politics. The federal budget debate hung up by a bunch of mis-informed idiots, that think that Planned Parenthood funds abortion, even though that aspect of PP's operations is not funded by the federal government. The Tea Partiers -- or should I say Tea Baggers, named after sucking one's ejaculation out of a condom -- think they have free run over determining public policy. Sarah Palin should win "Righteous Cunt of the Year" for running her mouth. Then our dumbass governor decides its a good thing not to build light rail, and blindly cutting the budget, then has the audacity to claim credit for helping out in the federal budget impasse. And Obama needs to grow a pair.

Nonetheless, this is what you've missed thus far. It's safe to assume that I don't feel all that great about things right now.
