Things that make me go Hmmmm …

There are things in life, and about folks that just Boggle my mind, things I simply can not understand and make absolutely no sense to me at all, I am forever confounded by the way some people think and act towards others, as well as events that happen around the world.

What makes me go Hmmm is Racism… I don’t understand it at all, I mean to dislike or hate someone based on skin colour? … that actually makes me go WTF!!?? … I just don’t understand that concept, and I can see no reason or justification to dislike/ hate anyone simply because they have a different skin colour than me… it’s just makes no sense and Boggles my mind, it’s a foreign concept to me.

Same with Sexuality… disliking or hating someone because of their sexuality?… it’s absolutely ridiculous! … I don’t care if your God says _________ is a sin, who the HELL are you to Judge?… Judgement is reserved for YOUR God…. NOT YOU, and chances are the person will never meet your God anyway, they probably have a nicer less judgemental God than you, so why even concern yourself with the gender of another person’s partner?… just makes no sense and it Boggles my mind , here is something to ponder… if you are against gay marriage, and want absolutely nothing to do with it…. simply don’t marry a gay person! marry someone who is the same sexuality as you… problem solved!

Money .. this too makes me go Hmmm…. yes money is a necessary evil, we all need some to live… give money get food gas clothes etc. but people do not need as much money as they think they do , and it baffles me how most everyone forsakes family, life and the pursuit of happiness to chase the almighty dollar, yes money is pretty important, but no it is NOT the MOST important thing in life, yet people covet it, hoard it, kill for it…. imagine killing someone for a piece of paper and some round metal disks! ( coins) …. pretty stupid really!!

Material Objects… another thing that completely stupifies me… people and small families who build/buy HUGE houses and go hundreds of thousands if not millions in debt…. WHY? Why do you and your family of 3 or 4 NEED that 9,000 square foot mcmansion with 6 or more bedrooms, 3 bathrooms 3 car garage pool etc. …. why? just why? are you trying to boast to everyone how successful you are?… hey look at ME, I HAVE the Biggest house on the block (even though I use less than half of the living space) I have the biggest shiniest fanciest most expensive car , I have the nicest furniture genuine sacred cow leather, and the latest electronics… look at ME… I’m better than YOU!… is that what you’re thinking? …. really? if so, then you’re also the biggest and most stupid Jackwagon on the Block! …. what ever happened to living within your means? is it worth going into deep debt just to try and impress everyone around you? ….. makes absolutely no sense to me.

Religion…. this one completely baffles me… I believe in God, I have my Faith , and occasionally I attend the local church, not because going to church makes me a good Christian… oh hell no, I simply go now and then to socialize , I am quite sure that some in that church do not believe what I do nor do they keep their faith as I do… and that’s okay… who am I to judge or say what’s right or wrong… It baffles me how people use Religion to justify HATE, (Hate towards anyone who doesn’t believe as they do) it stupifies me how people try to use the Bible to oppress others and impose their will on others…. to me these are not people of God… they are self righteous hypocritical windbags who give the rest of the Christians a bad reputation (guilty by association) , same goes for Muslims… the average Muslim is quite peaceful and does not try to impose their faith on others… then you get the right wing Loons… ( same with Christians) who wage Holy wars and try to impose their beliefs on everyone else ( Christians are just as guilty of genocide… just look at the Crusades, Spanish Inquisitions, what they have done to the Aboriginal peoples in North America, how they corrupted and defiled almost every country and nation on the planet etc) we act all shocked and horrified when break away groups like ISIS start killing people and waging a Holy war against everyone who doesn’t believe in the same brand of Religion as them…. yet under the guise of our Christian God… we have done the same damn thing… repeatedly , throughout history …. Religion gets more people killed than anything else and that just baffles me… regardless of Faith… isn’t Religion supposed to be about peace love and harmony… loving everyone regardless of their beliefs sexuality skin colour language …. just pure unconditional love towards everyone and each other… but that is not what they preach in churches …. it baffles me on how people die in the name of God / Allah or any other dang name you wish to call him/her/it/them… it is just downright stupid all the way around and it baffles me.

It absolutely baffles me how we send Billions of dollars in AID to other countries… Africa,Bangladesh,Somalia etc. …. yet we can’t even feed and house our own poor… it baffles me why we send our resources that are needed here to other countries then spit on our own poor…. just makes absolutely no sense, shouldn’t it be look after our own first and help all others second?I am not heartless but I also don’t understand why we funnel Billions of dollars to these have not countries for decades , and they themselves have not improved their situation…. where are the water wells? where are the schools? where are the farms? where are the fisheries? where are the medical centers doctors nurses etc ?why are they not using the money to better themselves? all those countries should be able to stand on their own feet after 30 + years of AID from the rest of the world , if they haven’t learned to use the funds to better themselves by now , they never will and have become reliant on Global Handouts …. perhaps it’s time to stop sending money and start using that money to help our own people ….. it makes no sense to put other countries on a Global welfare system ( really that is what foreign aid truly is) and use the money here in our own countries to help the poor…. there is absolutely no reason why a person/family should be without housing, food,education, medical etc. here in our own countries , the Government and nonprofit agencies all say , we lack funding, we don’t have enough money to feed and house and give the basic necessities of life to the poor…. OF COURSE you don’t have enough money or funding or food or resources to help the poor…. your sending all the resources overseas to other countries…. you are all taking the food and housing and education and medicare away from our own poor and giving it to someone who probably has no idea where North America even is! …. baffles the hell right outta me.

It astounds me that we have an unlimited supply of wind power, solar power, Hydro power , Bio fuels, etc and the technology to utilize these forms of power… yet we constantly rely on dead dinosaurs (oil) for all things…. Oil is obsolete yet we kill each other for it and we all bitch and whine at the gas pumps…. why are we even still using gas powered cars? and why do you the suburban warrior require that big gas guzzling ozone frying air polluting all wheel drive SUV?? a compact car is not big enough for you , hubby, and your 3 kids? … why do you need all wheel drive or four wheel drive in a city? really… are the potholes truly that bad that you need an off road vehicle? listen… running over a concrete curbs does not qualify as four wheeling!! why? just why? buy a 4 cylinder mini van if you need room , funny I can seat 5 people in my little Aveo and still put $300 worth of groceries in the trunk! how big of a vehicle to do you really need??…. seriously?

I don’t understand why we don’t just leave the oil alone and stop using it… Boats can use wind power, solar power, bio fuels, planes can run on biofuels , if that’s too freaky for the rider… use the petroleum they use now , let the military use petroleum and civilians can use alternative sources, you don’t even need natural gas to heat a house any more , you can use natural geothermal … we have the technology to go completely off oil and petroleum use, yet we are just too damn lazy to use it , it is easier to pay thousands of dollars per year on new petroleum cars , easier to pull up to a gas pump , easier to connect a wire than a solar panel to a house, … it’s just stupidity and laziness that’s all… people are just too comfortable with the status quo, they cry but jobs will be lost if we stop using oil… yes some will, but people can be retrained to work on wind turbines and solar panels etc.. refer to sending the money to other countries… people can be retrained and new jobs created… really there is no excuse and that just baffles me.

it baffles me on why we are still cutting down forests to build houses… you would think a brick would be less expensive than a tree… a brick is made of clay, clay is a free resource in the ground, sandstone and granite also free from the ground… hell we have Mountains made entirely of the crap … rocks and clay don’t burn… wood does… so why are we raping the forests to build combustible houses? …. makes no sense to me at all.

These are just some of the things that make me go Hmmmm and some even make me go WTF?? I don’t claim to be right or wrong, these are just some things that make me scratch my head and wonder why? that’s all .

Anyway, that’s all for now folks, so Remember:express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.

Some strange things are happening since I quit smoking

Okay so I am a new ex smoker , I’m only 15 days into this and I did not go “cold turkey”( I’d have killed someone had I tried that route), I’m using Champix to quit and it is working really good, how ever there are some side effects that I have been experiencing.

Vivid strange dreams, such as being in a city somewhere in the USA chasing someone and jumping from train to train only to lose them in an old building. – I don’t know why I was chasing them but I was hell bent on catching them! and why a city in the USA?? I’m a country bumpkin from Canada!

The Screaming Shit Weasels (the runs) a not to fun side effect of Champix, those I think are gone since yesterday (Thank God!!) my poor arse couldn’t take much more of that abuse! everything I ate within the first 13 days turned instantly into Super High Octane Anal Rocket Fuel! ( mental note to self, lay off the chili peppers when dealing with shit weasels and get familiar with the song Ring of Fire)!!

I also walked around freezing and roasting to death for the first 12 days, very much like being in the throes of menopause, it wasn’t very pleasant and I now have a healthy respect for the ladies who suffer hot flashes and bouts of freezing on a regular basis, I barely survived 12 days, I can’t fathom experiencing that for years at a time.

Now after 15 days I am actually starting to feel a bit different, for starters I have more energy, in fact for the first time in forever I have had energy to spare, it feels good to not be so easily tired , I can do more with my time , how ever I do still have my mid afternoon snooze , though they are starting to be more of power naps than actual snoozes.

My sense of smell is a tad weird now, I can smell a lot better, but I also smell things that just can not be, such as tonight I came home from a walk around the village and to me my house smelled like a Brewery, I could smell beer ! there is no beer in my house.
I get phantom smells , but my sense of smell is getting sharper, I can smell smoke on other people, and quite frankly, it’s not very pleasant to me.

My sense of Taste is really messed up too, Now I must state for the record I am a Meatasaurus (Carnivore) , I love MEAT and have meat with every meal, not always store bought either, I also hunt and fish, there is deer, elk, moose and various fresh water fish and fowl in my deep freeze, I make NO apologies for my love of meat nor for the fact that I hunt either, to each their own.
The point of this is, tonight I BBQ’ed up beef steaks for myself and my family, I cooked them to perfection, they were seasoned just right and were ohhh so tender and juicy, I swear I have never grilled so good in my life as I did tonight, it would have made Bobby Flay proud for sure…. just one teensy tiny problem…..

I took two bites and damn near upchucked! to me it was the foulest tasting hunk of meat I have ever eaten! I asked my wife and our son if it tasted “off” to them? NOPE they were eating it up like there was no tomorrow, so I tried again, nada I actually gagged.. WTF!!!?? I couldn’t eat my beloved steak!! I ate the fried Polenta and sweet potatoes , the green beans (my fav) and the purple carrots just fine, but no matter how hard I tried I just could not eat my steak!! our dog Memphis ate good tonight, he got a $15 steak supper!!

Eggs are another thing I can’t eat right now, to me they taste god aweful, and just 4 days ago I was enjoying a 6 egg omelette, Orange juice is out too (and I love orange juice) it’s too acidy and leaves a bad after taste.

I hope my taste buds settle down and smarten up because I’d rather die than give up eating meat and eggs !!

Anyway that’s it for tonight, remember folks, express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others
