Interesting?
If I don't write something I am going to fall asleep. I need to get the oldbrain juices flowing so I think I will write about something interesting. Something fabulous that will make people jump up after they have read mywords and go, "my Gawd! I have never read anything so awesome in all my miserable life!" What could that topic be you ask? I have no idea.
I am completely blank. The only thing that I can think of that was on the news was the coverage of hurricane Rita. They were showing the people evacuating the area. Well, they were showing the people trying to evacuate the area, because whenever hundreds of thousands of people all try to dothe same thing it is bound to end up with not much of anything getting done.
We Americans lack that basic ingredient that even the common cow has that allows us to move in a herd. It happens here at work a lot. You get morons who walk on the wrong side of the hall against the natural flow. Or you get the ones who have to stop and jabble right in the middle of the flow oftraffic so everyone has to go around. the ones who make me want to hit them though, are the ones who cut in line. Oh my fucking God! I so want punch these fuckers in the head. I learned how to stand in a damn line in kindergarten, did these ADD rejects miss that lesson. "Hey it's no cuts asshole, back of the line!"
And so you get people stuck on the highway. I bet if you went two miles to the east onto a seldom used side road the going is all clear. People tend to go for the most obvious ways instead of thinking a little bit.
But then again if they were thinking you wouldn't build a house in hurricane country out of plywood, or whatever cheap shit they build them out of. Why don't these people think ahead when building their houses? Have they never read the three pigs? You build a fucking house out of straw and sticks, a big bad wind(or wolf) comes along--pig snacks. If you build a house out of bricks, concrete, or how about some fucking steel, and your house will not fall down! Is it really that hard? Is this like brain surgery? And if you build your house near water why not build it on stilts? No, not for these geniuses. Instead the house is built, storm knocks itdown, and they cry,"my house is gone all, my memories, my stuff, yadda yadda yadda..." Bunch of whiny bitches.
It's not that I don't feel bad for people who lose their homes, because I do. It is just that I feel bad because this is going to go on for years and nothing is going to change. This storm is going to come, cause damage and then go. People will rebuild in the same ways in the same places and then when the next storm comes it will all start again. I get tired because the definition of insanity is, "doing the same action over and over expecting a different result." The thing is I don't think that we Americans are so much insane as just immature. We think we know everything when we don't, and then look for someone to blame. It really isn't that hard to think ahead and not make the same mistakes twice. Be creative, make different mistakes.
Speaking of houses, if I ever had the cash for a house I would like one of those cool underground ones. Kind of like a hobbit's house. They are easy to keep cool and to heat. You do have to waterproof it but other than that it would be mostly maintenance free. It would be awesome to have one with asort of roof deck for hanging out outside in the warm months. I have seen a show on the Home and Garden channel a while ago about houses like that, and other subterranean homes. I thing the coolest of these would have to be those people who buy the abandoned missile silos in Iowa and other Midwestern states. They are huge inside, and made of concrete and steal and once they get them all decorated and brought up to living standards its like having an underground mansion. Yes, they remove the missiles. I mean after all who actually needs a tactical nuke in your house? If the neighbors are playing their music that loud, a nice .50mm Gatling gun is sufficient. I mean, no need for overkill.
Reading a book on Australia by Bill Bryson. It's called "In a Sunburned Country". He was the one who wrote "A Walk in the Woods". So far it is pretty good. I have always thought that if I was going to visit another country it would be Australia. It just seems like a cool place. Well, it actually seems like a hot place but very interesting. I do also want to go to Canada but that is not really like a "real" foreign country. It's like Diet Pepsi to America's regular Pepsi. Nothing wrong with Diet Pepsi at all. I like the hell out of Diet Pepsi and I am sure I'd like Canada. It's just that Canada is like America except their slogan could be, "Canada, all the Health care and only 1% of the violence of the U.S." I wouldn't mind going to the U.K. either but from all that I have read Australia seems a bit more fun. I don't think I will ever go either place so it really doesn't matter. You need cash to travel, or you have to like to walk a lot. I have no cash and walking should be saved for trips to the bathroom.Laterzzzz....
