Not so fast, buster!!

So, I finally get down to the Credit Union to deposit my unemployment check, and guess what? Yup, overdrawn in my checking account! I was too late! {See previous two posts}

And the kicker is, the two relatively small checks that bounced giving me DSF fees were payable to my daughter's counselor; we receive zero support - of any kind - from my daughter's biological mother. Must make the brain-dead nincompoop very proud! To the cow in Pahrump: You truly are the nastiest of Deadbeat Moms!

Yippee!!

Don't mean to cop to a cliche' but what a difference a day makes; geezzuuss, how pathetic! I'm going to deposit my unemployment check this morning, and all I can think about is my oncologist saying: "you've got to keep your stress to an absolute minimum!" Wonder if I should tell the U.S. Post Master about that one(?)! {See previous post}

Between two adolescents in the household, and my woman, on the cusp of the proverbial "change of life" and my own private mishigas, well, I'm going to go deposit this rascal with great glee!

More later......Peace!

Geeezzzzuuusss!

Well, since 29 July, 2010 I've been enjoying the bliss of being among the ranks of the unemployed and am - for the time being - reliant (grateful its there) on unemployment until I can find something good to do; I've been on unemployment only once before in my working life (for about three months in 2004) and I've been working full time since 1977. I can certainly use a vacation but so far, this has been anything but! However, as Go Daddy says: "we're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time" and that articulation has long been an unspoken mantra of mine; now its time to make it happen for me and my family and make an enjoyable income a reality! As if it weren't bad enough to have to rely on State government to help me pay the bills, I must also rely on our beloved U.S. Mail to get the much-needed check to me, and in my part of the world, that hasn't been the reality. I've just come from our apartment mailbox for about the sixth time today (I am getting in shape going up and down three flights of stairs) and our "Mail lady" has finally shown up with my check that was supposed to arrive this past Saturday; its 5:22 in the evening! Our mail chick didn't get through putting the crap in all those boxes for another fifteen minutes! Are you kidding me? Does the stress show on my ugly face? (Stupid question) The closest affiliated branch of the Credit Union I bank with is twenty-five minutes away and closes at 6:00 PM; its now 5:37 PM. I really wouldn't complain except for two reasons: I worked in a service position most of my career and would certainly do a better job than this tired old girl. Second, we never see our mail before 4:00 PM! Am I being a whiner to gripe about such "service"? Sheeeesh! Anyway, I haven't been on here for far too long and I continue to do my best to raise the consciousness of journalists to the bias, persecutions, and outright "wrong" being done to fathers and their kids in this and other countries; the fight for Dads' Rights will be with me as long as I live. Today, among other things, I read about five more "delinquent" parents (Surprise! All fathers) who were jailed in Ohio for being in arrears in child support. Ever wonder why there aren't more women on these types of lists? Well, if you're interested, drop me a line and I can tell you why. These five men are scheduled to be arraigned September 13, 2010, and if they fail to appear, arrest warrants will be issued. But wait; I thought they'd already been arrested(?) Atrocious!

Tired.....

Well, I'm trying to get it back together so that I can post as frequently as I should.....Stay tuned!

Nowak-o

OK, so no surprise here, but outrage all around: On Tuesday 10 November, 2009, after pleading guilty to lesser charges former NASA Astronut, Lisa Nowak, walks out of court a free woman. Now let us not forget, this is the married chick with three kids of her own, who confronted her illicit lover’s “other woman” in an airport parking garage after driving a 1,000 miles from Houston to Orlando with diapers - both in supply and on her body - so she could make that drive non-stop. She also had in her possession latex gloves, a brand new Buck locking blade knife, rope, a small sledge hammer, and plastic trash bags. The bitch was sentenced to a mere year on probation. Probation! What if this sleep-around whore had been a man? Or even worse, an African American man?!
I dare say, whether white, black, Latino or any other race, a male would be in the slammer, period! And likewise, no man would have been given a cushy job at a space joint, that’s for damn sure! I understand NASA took "her wings" so she can no longer fly the Space Agency aircraft, but so what? She hasn't lost any pay, except to appear in court. This case smacks of what is known in our society as “The Lace Curtain” where women are treated differently than men are, particularly when it comes to crime and punishment. Women are only held to accountability standards that the media, academia, society at large, clergy and others see as “fitting” – The media reports Nowak as a "forty-six year old mother of three". Does that mean she still has custody of her kids, jointly or otherwise? Can someone answer that question for me, please?!
Because we all know, a father under the same circumstances certainly would have "Court Approved Monitored Visitation" at the minimum in a case like this. And lastly, why hasn’t anyone in the media asked how the little Nowak children are doing? Probably not, because they are safely in the hands of their Dad who is clearly the more stable of the two parents!
Such bullshit! And those of the ignorant, wonder why the country is sliding down the shitter.....
Peace……….
PS: She only pleaded guilty after an appeals court ruled all the hardware in her vehicle would be admissible. Slime bag!

The Holiday "Open" Season is here!

Well, with the passing of Halloween "Open Wallet Season" has begun; too bad there aren't any "decoys" I can set out to fool my soon-to-be-sixteen year old daughter into thinking she has already procured all she needs in life, at least all she wants or needs from Dear Old Wonderful Dad! Not bloody likely, I say! Hoping those who give a shit, keep up with Glenn Sacks and his web site. This week past, he pointed out how Maria Shriver (Mrs. Governator) slammed fathers in a recent published piece "A Woman's Nation Changes Everything" but the kicker is this stupid Michael Kimmel person; zero in on him people, I intend to, with a vengance!

Anyway, haven't been on in a while and I am now a grandpa to boot, a lovely little boy he is too, have a look....Intending to write more often. Go Dads!

Peace.....

A shame! Artist lost...

Personally, I feel a great sense of loss with the untimely passing of Michael Jackson.

He brought me, and those I love, both present and loves lost, great enjoyment and fun when we dance to his music; I'll miss you Mike. For me, Michael's death is not unlike losing John Lennon: Two guys who could truly change the world....Often, too much pressure, expectation, and misplaced hope is put upon our artists, those we count on for pleasure whether it be visual, auditory, or by feeling within our senses; Michael Jackson did not, nor did he want, to be looked to for political or moral guidance, he was an artist. Again, I'll miss his art....Rest easy Mike, and the best to your inner circle, may they find peace in knowing how much joy you brought to those of us who appreciated your art and who never had the opportunity to spend time with you......
