Not

really sure how many 52 year old men who ride Harleys are out there listening to The Cure and The Verve.

My guess would be not many :-).

Like

I was sayin' :-).

You and your history won't rule me

You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed

I'm not affected by your blackmail

You won't blackmail me"

George S. Patton Jr.

“For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”

You were talking about the end of the world."

Oh yeah

I didn't explain that Bro Joe said the reason we need the cross as a portal so that heaven can come down to earth was because the evil one resides in the air.

Think a second about everyone walking around and looking at the images or text on their lil screens held in their hands which are really streams of dots and dashes transmitted through what?

Yeah, the air.

Let that sink in for a second.

Ephesians 2:2

I had

an interesting conversation with someone yesterday.

Keep in mind I've only ever talked to this person for less than a minute, even that was nothing more than exchanging pleasantries.

"Hello, how are you?"

"I'm great, you?"

"I'm doing good, it's been a crazy day, first I was at the blah blah blah, then I went to help with blah, blah blah and now I'm here."

"It beats the alternative."

(Meaning, it's always good to have something to do, however small or insignificant it may seem. Trust me. For someone who doesn't do all that much sometimes, okay lots of times, shut up already! I know the importance of having something to do each day no matter how small will give that day a plan, some meaning, as well as an objective to be accomplished. Doesn't matter whether it's laundry, walking the dog, grocery shopping, doing the dishes, whatever, having an activity planed for the day is a good thing.)

The response startled me.

"I don't worry about that, I know I'm going to heaven."

A few minutes passed when I explained that wasn't what I meant.
That I thought having activities planned for the day beat the alternative of not having any planned.

"Oh".

Inside I was like, WTF?

Where did that come from?

Why on earth feel compelled to tell that to someone you don't know from Adam?

No, "I can help you get there as well do you want to know how?"

No other explanation, nothing, just a curt, "I know I'm going to heaven."
What was really said, was what was implied, not spoken.
The real message being delivered was,
"I'm going and I don't think you are.
I'm better than you,
I know it and I'm going to tell you."
It reminded me of the "A rich man doesn't need to prove he's rich" story.
He knows he's rich.
Why should he feel compelled to prove it to anyone?

I mean if you know you're going?
Why do you feel so compelled to convince me of it?
Happy for ya.
And then to go on and not even share how you know or to try and explain or help a stranger get there as well?
WTF was your point other than being smug and self-righteous?

And we wonder why church attendance and membership is falling.

The ironic thing is?
I was reading about how it's possible to have heaven here on earth when this conversation started :-).

Fun Facts:

In the 1890's Richard Monarch purchased the E.W. Murphy distillery. The distillery was small as it had a 60 bushel a day mashing capacity and could store around 1500 barrels. He supposedly purchased it so he and his friends would never run out of good whiskey :-).

When John Medley came to America from  England in 1634? Wanna take a guess what he brought with him? Yeah, the family still :-). How bad ass is that? 1634? Crossing on a boat? "Yeah were leaving and going to a new land but you know whats coming with us sweetheart? Damn straight the family stills comin with us."

James Crow is credited scientifically perfecting the "sour mash" method of distilling.

Sorry

but I gotta go on a rant.
If I don't get it out of me?
I'll blow a gasket at the most inopportune time and that's not what I or anyone else would want.

I see the snide looks from people around here.
They might as well scream: "I can't believe he's making her pay back child support with all his money."
First of all, what money?
I'm just sick of hearing about it or sensing it from people.
So for once and for all I'm gonna put it out here and what ever happens happens.
People don't wanna be my friend or quit talking to me over it?
So be it.
Good fucking riddance.

The fact is I never wanted child support.
It was only after the other party started making as much as I was that I asked for it.
I'll be damned if you're gonna make almost what I do and not help support your child.
Fuck that.

Then there was an overage.
I mean what do these people think?
That I was the one crunching the numbers?
That I came up with the determined amount of monthly support?
That's what the lawyers and the judge decided was applicable.
Not me.

All I ever wanted was to be left alone from someone who stated they would "make it their purpose in life to make him miserable as hell."
So how's that working for ya these days?
Seems to me like shit like that always comes back to bite you in the ass.

So I had an idea.
Lets just go back to no child support.
Forget about the overage now and I'll save you thousands more over the course of years and we won't have any reason to keep dragging shit in front of attorneys and judges, using the court system etc.
The response?
I'll never forget it.
"Nooooooo, I want to paaaay."

11 motions made in fifteen years.
One approximately every sixteen moths.
All part of the "make it their purpose in life to make me miserable as hell." plan I suppose.

"But you could go back and ask for more child support at any time." they say.
True
But by this time?
I was so done with all this shit all I wanted was for the whole issue to go away.

But noooooo.
Somebody had a better plan.
Poor mans disease.
Short Sightedness.
Forget about what you're gonna pay later.
Get what you can today.

The whole thing was to keep all the drama and bull shit ongoing.
That's it.
Without child support to haggle about?
There's no issue left that needs to be discussed.
Just anything and everything to keep the drama and victim status ongoing.
The only thing some people are a victim of is their own bad decisions.
That's all these people ever want.
Keep the drama going on as many fronts as possible.
And when it ends with you?
It just starts up again with someone else about something else.

"But you bought a Harley." they say.
So the fuck what. is my response.
I got a raise from work to pay for it.
Seriously, if I didn't think I could swing the payments without the child support?
I wouldn't have bought the damn thing.
I knew the support couldn't be counted on.
Five years worth of payments.
Only one year did I ever receive child support while making payments on it.

"But that money was for him."
I love this one.
This one burns me up more than any other one and here's why, because more often than not the people who say it have never been in a similar situation.
What was I supposed to do?
Open up a separate account and only use it for his needs?
Figure up his portion of gas, electric, water, food, mortgage, fuel, DSL, Insurance, clothes, toiletries on and on and on and pay it out of his own separate account?
Have you even heard of anyone doing such a thing?
There may be some, but there isn't many who do, that I can assure you.
So it all went in the pot, and then the bills (including his) were paid from it.
Case closed.

The thing that kills me is everybody acts like there was no other option.
Why not just pay what the court said you should?
(Which was the minimum amount btw)
Why was that never an option?

If we had done things my way?
Nobody would have owed anybody anything and everyone would be much happier.
Oh hell no, happiness?
Even the other parties own?
Can't possibly have that.
Wouldn't know how to fucking act.

I honestly could not believe they turned down the offer to not have to pay any more if they forgave the overage. It would have saved three dollars for every one they had to pay out.
Makes sense right?
You're gonna give me three dollars for every one I give you?
Who passes up a deal like that?
I just looked at my attorney like WTF?
Someone said something to the effect of "Some people are just stupid."
I said thats fine, however we can work it out is fine with me, I just want it to go away and be over.
One thing though, she pays, every last penny, they're gonna pay, BECAUSE IT"S WHAT SHE SAID SHE WANTED.

I gave multiple chances to not have to pay.
Multiple.
This is only the one incident I'm talking about.

I knew that day some eight years ago or whatever that we would end up here.

Now here we are.
Everybody thinking I'm being all hardcore and shit.
To me?
I'm just giving her what she said she wanted.
Out of the 11 motions she filed in fifteen years? This will be the only one she made she ever had to adhere to.
Let that sink in for a second.

I'm sure if it was a man in a similar situation he would have been treated the same.
Yeah right.
Just deserts if you ask me.
Careful what you wish for they say.

Isaiah 54:16-17.

It is what it is.

I'm done ever talking about it again, to anyone.

It's not worth the aggravation.

This Russia Shit

I'm tellin ya they got 'em.

A bunch of them.

Seems to me like today's story about Mr. Sessions is part of the slow trickle of information that they've had for a while.

This is what they do.

You never give away your whole hand all at once.

You put a lil bit out there and watch them try and cover for themselves, let them squirm for a while, see what happens, and usually somewhere along the way? They hang themselves.

It's all part of the "rising action" as if it were if it was a novel or movie.

Then the day comes when there will be a climactic event.

Then the inevitable falling action and trying to put humpty dumpty back together again.

A while back a read where an official with the secret service agency was saying that all the trips to mar-lago were taking it's toll on the agents involved in security. He said agents were suffering from "burn-out". Remember that if a secret service agent ends up turning on his president. To me it was like they were planting the seeds for whats about to happen. Seems like anyway.

Ever wonder why everybody involved in this administration looks like they are about to blow a blood vessel in their forehead? 

Well? 

If I had the Dems, the establishment Republicans, The CIA, The NSA, The FBI, The Treasury Department and in all likelihood The Russian Intelligence services coming after me about stuff I knew I had done and lied about?
