Thirty Days of Dougie III – Day 6: Racism
November 26, 2013

We’re just two days away from Thanksgiving, but to be honest, I’m not feeling very thankful right now. I just lost my job a few days ago, the man that I love is several hours away and we won’t be able to be together or most likely even talk this week, my health is falling apart pretty quickly and I need a freakin’ haircut. I do have a decent place to live, a pretty cool family, some awesome friends and plenty of food so those are all positives, but I’m still just not feeling it. I want to just go away and leave forever, never turning and looking back. I’m too old and too tired of this shit and the recent turns that life has taken. I’ll survive and bounce back. I always do. But it’s getting harder and harder each and every time and I’m having to reach more and more to find the energy, the strength and the will keep doing it. Is it really even worth it anymore? I just don’t freakin’ know.

Okay, enough whining and crying and all of that crap. Let me just jump on a few things that are on my mind this morning and then I’ll get to the meat of this piece and the whole “bloggy” thing.

They killed off Brian on Family Guy? Man, that sucks! It doesn’t make any sense and I don’t like it. Brian is the straight man for Stewie and the ying to his yang. So what will Stewie do now? Just hang out with Rupert? Not good at all.

I wish I had a way to get to Rockingham for a few hours. There’s this really hot and sexy guy up there who I want to chill with and get totally funky like a money, if you will. Been wanting to for a long, long time and just waiting for the opportunity. As Lawanda, from “In Living Color” used to say quite often, “I’ll rock his world!”.

Tried to register for Obama Care this morning (again). Still couldn’t get through and get ‘er done (again). I’ll bet if I tried to register my cat for the “Affordable Care Act” (hah!), it would go through though. She does need affordable health care. I wonder if she could still keep her same vet?

I need to get a big old box and one day, just totally clean off my desk / work area. I’ll bet there are all sorts of lost goodies hidden among this stack of papers, envelopes and magazines.

I really don’t want to go do the things I need to do today, but they have to be done. I don’t have a choice. It sucks being a person who honors commitments and obligations.

My ride is here. Gotta go do Food Lion for the Food Bank. Be back in a little while…

I’m back. Got a lot of things accomplished including turning in my uniforms and saying good-bye at Taterville. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked through those doors, but everyone was pretty much normal and no one acted too weirdly. Glad it’s over with though. Let’s get back to this.

Happy Birthday to former WWE Diva and all around beloved, Lisa “Ivory” Moretti, who turns 52 years old today. She was the only WWE Diva I can honestly say that I would consider going straight for. She’s a hot and sexy mama, then and now. I’ve always told the man I love that I’d never cheat on him so long as he’s here, but if Ivory or Juventud Guerrera ever became available, all bets are off.

And of course, as soon as I sat down and started writing, the other resident of this house had to walk into the room, turn on the TV and pick up to the phone to call her son (my brother) and make as much noise as possible. I think (know) that they’re trying to drive me crazy.

Let’s reach into the “Magic Box” and find a topic and get this over with. And we have “racism”.

Racism? It’s stupid to hate a person or discriminate against a person just because of their race or the color of their skin, especially when there are so many other reasons to dislike and hate someone. I don’t like people because of the way they act in public, the respect they show (or don’t show) for others, the language they use, the music they listen to, the way they raise their children, their nasty habits, the way they smell (stale alcohol or cigarettes), the laziness and expectations for everyone to keep them up and pay their way, etc. So many reasons to dislike people and not a single one has anything to do with race.

So it’s pretty simple. The color of our skin is something we have no control over and thus it shouldn’t be a factor as to liking or not liking someone. The person themselves and who they are and how they are… that’s more than enough reason right there.

I don’t care about race. I care if you’re decent, honest and I like you. Anything else, it’s just ignorance showing it’s ugly head. Yep, I said it. Racists are idiots… and ass-clowns… and need to be hit in the face with a shovel… repeatedly.

And there you go. ‘Nuff said!

I’m out of here.

Ubuntu!
