So I read this piece on MSNBC and I just had to post it.  It was just a little blurb in the gossip pages but struck me as stupid, and quite possibly insane…which is why it fits in here perfectly.

Apparently P-Diddy in a effort to show support to the common man and his/her economic plight is going to tone down his use of “bling” and in his words not dress so “flashy” because as he says “why rub it in”

Well hell…thanks Diddy…we little people appreciate your support soo much…and we’re sorry you feel the need to wear less-flashy apparel.  Here are a couple of other ideas…like how about setting up a fund to help people who have lost or are about to lose their homes…or donate all that extra “bling” money to shelters, or food banks…even though I know you’ve already done so much with the whole “de-blinging”

Today…right now as a matter of fact, the people in my office are decorating for Christmas…oh wait, was that not PC…sorry…for “The Holidays” and were told that they could not put up any depictions of Santa Claus as someone might get offended.  WTF?!  It’s Santa, goddammit.  It’s not like they were putting up pictures of the Blessed Virgin, or Jesus.  Shit like this makes me want to rebel…I have a HUGE Santa cutout at home…guess where it’s going now…you got it…right on the wall in my office…screw you upper management.

People, let me just say that I have nothing against technology, I’m a computer geek in my own right, and advances in medicine and energy are alright with me.  However, personal technology is just out of control…Blackberries, IPhones, and them goddamned blue tooth ear things really fry my cheese.  Hello?  How about trying a little human contact…go outside get some fresh air.  There are people out there that live and breath by these little gadgets…if they lose it or god forbid it gets broken…they’re lost…I can’t email…I can’t surf the web…I can’t text…here’s an idea…use a phone…a real phone you know with wires…

Some time ago BL and I were in a local eatery having a nice dinner when a couple of youngins came in obviously on a date…they sat down across from one another and proceeded to each whip out cell phones and begin texting…they didn’t even look at each other….WTF?! 

The one thing though that makes me absolutely insane…those damn blue tooth earpieces…are you sooo important that you have to be available at a moment’s notice…are you like what Jack Bauer, waiting for a call from the president.  Take that fucking thing off you look like an idiot.

Okay…rant over…thanks for stopping by…y’all come back now…
