Casually Cruising The 'Net This Morning After Watching A Sunrise In Splendid (yet Regrettable) Solitude

Jayme Deerwester, USA TODAY, usatoday.com

The situation in the beleaguered Here Comes Honey Boo Boo camp keeps getting stranger — and sadder.

Less than a day after TLC pulled the reality show over allegations that newly single family matriarch Ma …

As if this a shock to anyone... I can't believe this trailer trash family ever received any notoriety whatsoever. They epitomize what is wrong with our nation, our population, and families today. They are almost as disgusting, as the garbage that is the Kardashian clan. They all just sicken me.

I found this today on a silent, solitary hike around my town, Leesburg, VA. I think it's safe to say, given this person's accommodations under a bridge, that, per the graffiti, that this human's not 'kk'. Far fucking from it. I ventured closer, but saw no one "home," so I said a small prayer and left a $20 bill inside the meager "front door." I hope this person has a better night than the last one. Please pray or, if you're not a spiritual person, but still consider yourself connected to humanity and The Universe, send good thoughts to the Cosmos that this person rises out of her or his current station. And if you happen to come upon something like this in your environs, I hope you have the wherewithal to lend a hand of compassion and charity.

Because we're all in this together...

Something just crept out of my hazy head. It may be poetry, but idk:

She is the one person that fucks me up, muddles my mind, twists my soul, and, on any given day, pushes me to a point where I could easily find myself fucking wringing that delicately deceptive neck of hers until she is several shades of blue. But then, if I succumbed to that easy passage, I would surely lose her stare, her hot breath, her sharp fucking eyebrows, the thrill of her lyrical laughter, her lunacy, her drill-bit stare of disdain, her slow digestion of my spirit, and the redemption I've come to crave each and every fucking dawn I rise to my knees, without her, yet always with her...

I revel in that intoxication...

[Author's Note: Yeah, I'm THAT fucking train wreck...]

This is so cool to learn, especially at my age. I am a white, Anglo-Saxon (predominantly Scots-Irish by decent...), Protestant male, and always considered POC to be the same as me, in all ways. But I've not taken the time to get to know the deeper history (and its key founders) of the fight for abolition. This was eye-opening for me, especially since two of the most prominent of those Founders, Ms. Tubman & Mr. Douglas, wagered great risks to themselves in pursuit of righteous things.

This is why I am concerned: history is being changed, rubbed out, redacted, muddled and muddied, and sometimes disappeared. That's scary as some of us older, more open and receptive people don't know these things, so I can only imagine how few a number of people who even know to ask the questions, let alone ask the right questions... As I said, scary...

Let history stand as continual lesson about how far we've come, and the strides made, and, yes, to the work ahead. But don't let factions play that old divide-and-conquer ploy. Push back and look at history for the clues strewn all about, on the topics of peace, equality, and love of every kind.

Peace, kids...

"We have definitely, without a doubt invented the slowest way of film making ever devised in 120 years," the director said.

A labor of love is an understatement...

Happy birthday, Mr. Van Gogh.

Taking on Scam Artists & Low-life Criminals with a Vengeance

This is an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TOPIC! Please read on:

Okay, so here’s something that ties in with the demise of my girl’s father (who is degenerating badly with late-stage dementia, and is hospitalized with a very dim . For years now— although it was not discovered until the last year or so— he had fallen victim to a series of scam artists and out-and-out criminals who preyed upon his weakening mental state. Every conceivable scam has been perpetrated against him, and consequently the family. I have done what I could to stop these animals, including launching a criminal investigation against: a disgusting low-life attorney in Warrenton, VA; a mortgage scammer in Palm Bay, FL; a Jamaican lottery scammer; a UK lottery con-artist; and two others. I and my girl have spent exhaustive hours speaking with investigators, and I personally have confronted, via telephone, these crooks. They have bilked my girl’s dad out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and have financially imperiled the entire family. His mounting paranoia that his family was “trying to take his money” (a common theme with dementia patients) led him to combat the family at every turn. Instead of embracing those that loved and cared for him, he turned for solace to the crooks because they assured him that they were in his corner, and that his “investments” with them would surely pay dividends in the millions. This once highly intelligent man then proceeded to: sell his car; cash out his insurance policies; clean out bank accounts, including college funds; try to sell at fire sale prices antiques and guns. All for these criminals.

I have managed to track some of these crooks down to a geophysical location, and I have alerted law enforcement (where applicable; most of the scum-bags are operating out of the country!), but to little avail. The lawyer is being handled as is the mortgage con-man, but these others are still roaming free, unfettered to do what they will to the unsuspecting, innocent, and, most sickeningly, the old and infirm. I want this to stop, not just for my family’s sake, but for the sake of other elderly folks who may have fallen victim to this bullshit. Which leads me to this idea:

I have the numbers for 3 of the con artists who keep contacting the family through the patriarch’s mobile phone, a phone which until recently, when he was admitted to the hospital, was never out of his grasp. I have that phone and I have harvested the numbers from the phone, and I have begun to call and barrage them as they have done my family. What I really want to do is post the numbers for these monsters up on FB so that everyone knows the numbers and can join in my campaign to turn the tables on the bad guys. Give them an earful and make them miserable to the point that they have to drop out of sight to avoid further detection and possible apprehension. I know that it is only a band-aid fr a bullet wound, but at this point, any reprieve would be a godsend.

So, that said, here are the numbers. And don’t worry, these are not law abiding folks, and I guarantee you that they will not be calling the police. Those are the last people in the world these animals would call. Do with this info what you will…

1. 716.240.5566: NY number that is either a cloned phone or is a cell acquired in the US and then transported to outside territories. This is the woman who has alternated between investment schemes, and based on family research, has also perpetrated a lottery scam, using different names. I have spoken with this low-life and she is a nasty one. If words were toxic, I’d be dead a hundred times over. Of course, she got what she gave…

2. 334.578.8036. This is another bullshit scammer, claiming to be the American Gaming Board (can you say lottery scam!?!); there is no such entity, and several websites show this bogus name in conjunction with attempted and (sadly!) successful scams. When you call it, a woman speaking ALMOST perfect English answers, but there is no mistaking that she is Indian, if you know what nuances to look for in vocal patterns. Anyway, when you call her, she starts asking why you are calling instead of following a phone protocol, which any legitimate business or agency would follow. There’s the give-away. Then, when you try to keep her talking she becomes angrier and angrier until she makes demands of your name, address, and telephone number (I almost always use *67 to block my name/number when I call). When you refuse to provide that information, she gets really nasty, on the scale of a cobra crossbred with a wolverine. So, so much fun stuff here…

And #3. 702.570.3339. These are the pinnacle pieces of crap! They have been parasitically wending their way through the family savings for 2 years+, according to the research that has been conducted. (And yes, research has been conducted, by the family, Loudoun County (Virginia) Sheriff’s detectives, and a special field agent from the FBI liasing with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s detective corps. This lovely bunch has promised and promised this poor man that he has won $2M and a BMW and that all he needed was to pay an “import fee” and pay for courier service. Given his mental declivity, he did so. Repeatedly, to the tune of over $85K!!! I have spoken to one of the schmucks in this little operation, and he has threatened to kill me, kill my children, and to destroy what is left of the family finances. He is a real peach, and I can guarantee you he is not a US citizen. My military background and my extensive interaction with people from the Indian subcontinent of Asia lets me know that he is either a Northwestern Indian or a Southeastern Pakistani. Of course, he claims to be from the UK, which is rich since his phone number is actually a Las Vegas cloned number. The service provider is YMAX Communications, and the number which I reported to the FCC was originally assigned to a fax number which was originally associated with a business. (kind of makes me wonder about the security and integrity of that particular business… was it Target or Home Depot? Hmmm…).

And for further edification, the criminals who perpetrate this swindles and theft (and it IS theft, theft by deception!!) not only enrich themselves with their ill-gotten gains, but it also believed by some law enforcement agents with whom the family has spoken that these criminals earmark portions of their stolen proceeds to go to fund terrorist groups here and abroad. So this is not just a simple crime. No, no, it has much broader-reaching implications. Despicable and beyond criminal; it’s an atrocity!

So, there you go. Do with this what you will. As for me, I will continue to wage my campaign and drive these people insane until they either come to ground or I can have them apprehended. My logic here is the more I pester them and drive them into a furious lather, the less time they have to spend defrauding and ripping off the elderly. Disgusting bastards…

Labels. Labels. Labels.

Seems like this crowd is more interested in anger, shite talking, and lathering themselves and others into a nasty, frothy frenzy over "oppression," than they are in just being nice humans.

Folks, drop the labels and begin being genuine, caring, and loving humans. Any other than that and you're just showing you have pride (pun intended) in hateful things.

reminder that pride month includes bisexual and asexual people.

Nah, just bisexuals.
