To Be An American

Sometimes we Americans take ourselves way too seriously. I personally think we revert to our primitive tribal ways and it works against us. We also fall back to our symbol worship. You know what that is right? When one believes in a symbol to the point where common sense and decency goes right out the window, right? Right. Here’s an example:



Look, I’m a proud American. I respect the veterans of this country. I don’t bad mouth the country. But first, I am a logical human being and recently it has been very hard to be a logical human being and a proud American. Honestly.

The above video is a prime example. This veteran, and I thank him for his service, should really reflect on his actions. To destroy private property in the name of his country is not only illegal, it is also disrespectful and contradictory to the very values he served to protect. Freedom of Speech.

The Mexican flag shouldn’t be flying over the U.S. flag. Fine. Is it illegal? That’s questionable per Texas v. Johnson, but let’s say it is illegal. Just for sake of discussion, let us assume flying a flag above the U.S. flag is absolutely against the law. Who is responsible for the application of the law?

The U.S. Justice System.

Not Jim Brossard.

Vigilantism is illegal.

Why not walk into the store, perhaps with some baked goods for the owner, and explain the symbolic (remember, these are flags of cloth, not babies hanging from the pole) insult to him? That would be far too diplomatic and intelligent of an approach. Instead, let’s be bullheaded and ignorant, as most of the world must perceive us as, and destroy private property?

Brossard is being touted as a “real American hero.” If you step back and look at his acts objectively, he didn’t really protect America’s ideals dealing with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (personal property). Not very American.

Here’s the spin on Fox News – notice how the issue about Brossard’s breaking our law is mentioned for a matter of seconds before the real agenda is brought up.



And if any Right Winger is reading this – I don’t support illegal immigration. I’m not a "liberal." I was born in the country and I quite certain I’m smarter and better looking than you, so get off my blog.

How I'm Living

There's a lot to be said, however the timing isn't exactly right. You can't simply scream the truth on a public information avenue. It could end badly. But if I could summarize what is going on with me, I'd do it using a clip from YouTube.



By the 12th of November, I should be able to speak freely about this particular situation. In the meanwhile, I will take my baseball glove and baseball, and bounce it off the walls of my cubicle... er... cell.

The Single Most Important YouTube Clip of the Week

This clip helped me with a tough week.... "All's quiet on the fish front!"

Columbus Day is Today

How can one discover a land that already had people living on it? I'm thinking it is a discovery because the culture that Columbus was sailing for, is considered to be "superior." Meaning, they wore pants and lived in large buildings. And there is a perception that they were "smarter" than the people they ran into in the New World (which wasn't really new if you consider people had been living there for several centuries).

So, let me get to the point - given the stated, I live in a large building. I wear pants. And my girlfriend and many others whom I didn't pay any money, perceive me to be "smarter" than many people. Now I look on my handy dandy Google maps on my equally dandy handy smartphone, looking for a region where people don't live in large buildings, don't wear pants, and do not have people who my friends would consider smarter than me.

I will be claiming "Alabama" in the name of the United States and Queen George Bush in a fortnight. If you live there, I have beads and bottle caps to trade for your land. If you don't trade me, I will give you small pox infected socks and thongs. Then I will force you to march to South Dakota.

In 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue.

In 2007, Adrian sailed to Southern Heaven.

Let's remember the following facts about Christopher Columbus -

1. He didn't discover America or even North America. He didn't even set foot on North America.
2. He intended to sail to Asia. Oops.
3. He didn't promote the fact the world was round. Most of his peers already understood that to be fact.
4. He rewarded his crew with 12 and 13-year-old native girls to rape.
5. He was responsible for the killing of hundreds of native people in various ways, such as mauling by dogs.

We shouldn't have a national holiday commemorating this guy. It's sad that we have a holiday that celebrates Columbus, but not one that celebrates the Native American. Thanksgiving doesn't count.

Alabama, I haven't forgotten you.

The Single Most Important YouTube Clip of the Week

...it's a couple of days late because of stupid people in Maryland.

Hate Served on the Early in Maryland

So to whoever decided to spray paint "Fuck You Nigger" in large letters across the front of my parents' house, you're not scaring anyone. To whoever wrote "I love tacos" and some shit about "chipotle," Colombians don't eat tacos or chipotle. You don't scare me. You don't scare my dad. You don't scare my brother. If anything, you only slightly concern my mother, but for that you should be ashamed.

Everything you thought you did, you didn't do. Everything you did was cowardly. If you have a problem with who my family is, take it up with one of us, face-to-face. Don't lurk in the shadows, in the early morning hours, to send your message. Real men don't do that.

Don't think we've never heard that kind of speech before. Don't think I've never been called "beaner" or "spic" or "wetback." Don't think I haven't been told I was a "nigger lover." Don't think I don't know the type of person you are. I have people like you ground up and served in my "chipotle tacos." You're fodder.

A guy can't get his hair cornrowed and listen to hip-hop music anymore. I guess you can't relate to the black community. You just can't be who you are anymore. Perhaps never could...

For those of you just tuning in, someone spray painted some racist terms on the front of my parents' and vehicles home a morning ago. They also attempted to destroy my brother's car. It was such an event, the press showed up. Neighbors came to the door, crying, offering white paint to cover up the crime. The local police and detectives are now searching for the subhumans who did this.

I suggest looking under the nearest rock in the local swamp.
