Respect Your Elders? Fuck You.
I live in a suburban hell community, with its tower of flames also including several retirement communities. I have adjusted my shopping schedules, to accommodate the influx of retirement buses bombarding the grocery store, making a smooth check out nearly impossible. I have curtailed my activities driving in my car between the hours of 9 am to 2 pm in this area as not to have an early heart attack at the stress of trying to navigate my way around all the Buick’s, Oldsmobile’s, and occasional “WTF are you doing in that sports car” driving 15 miles below the speed limit, making turns without indicators, and generally driving around town like lost Asian tourists.
As long as I obey those simple rules, I should save myself some grief. For the most part, I will say that the older folks in my hood are nice people. I can not say the same for the aging generation in Washington County. I spend a lot of time there because that is where our pottery studio is located as well as most of my family.
For some reason, the older folks, esp the older men, in this area are a different breed. They are nasty, self-righteous, and rude. For the SECOND time now, I have had to put these old fucks back in there place, especially when their rude behavior is done in front of my child. Whether I am trying to just get a fucking gallon of milk at the grocery store, selling pottery at a festival, or watching a show at a local theater, these assholes feel entitled to spread their misery over anyone whom seems to be in a good mood, express kindness, or not kiss their asses as if they are walking gods because they have lived longer then 75% of their high school classes.
I don’t think saying excuse me so I could get the kids breakfast milk to an old fucker who is standing in front of the milk gallons for 5 minutes not moving deserves the “I guess its all about you today” snide comment. My response back “Yes, I guess it IS all about me now, since YOUR generation has destroyed anything that was remotely good about this country” and walked away. While walking away down the frozen food isle, I took it upon myself to notify other normal shoppers of the potential danger in the milk isle by announcing loudly to my daughter’s embarrassment: “WARNING: GRUMPY OLD MAN IN THE MILK AISLE, GRUMPY OLD MAN IN THE MILK AISLE”.
So nasty, grumpy, old men in Hagerstown watch out. I am not going to take your shit anymore. And if you are thinking “those old people didn’t ruin America”…think again.
MY NIGHTMARES REVEALED!!!
Oh no! It’s the sign of the Armageddon in my nightmares…
My mother seems to be dressing my dad up like the stupid Geico lizard….
It’s over folks… Sanity… Life … everything!
Space Weather Alert
Tonight’s full moon is known as a Super Harvest Moon. As the sun sets and moon rises, it should give off a beautiful colored twilight…and signifies the end of summer and the beginning of fall.
Atlantic City, NJ in Review
Went and actually stayed in Atlantic City, NJ a few nights for the first time in my life. This was all courtesy of Rob Montgomery.
Let me tell you… INTERESTING place. Had a great time, but WOW talk about strange places..
First of all, we stayed in a building called the Flagship.
We were on the 11th floor facing north (toward Brigantine, NJ). I took pictures with my cell phone and made a collage of which I am quite proud.
If you click on the picture above you can see the full blown image. It’s pretty neat! Take notice of the boardwalk that is crumbling. Atlantic City is literally crumbling in some areas and being rebuilt in others. What made the boardwalk so interesting is that people used it freely everyday all the time walking around barricades and ignoring warnings of the whole thing being unsafe. There were parts where you could fall through human sized holes into the crashing surf below. Obviously this boardwalk had taken hits from various storms in the past. The question I have is, why would you build a boardwalk on the water right where the waves break, then put a sea wall behind the boardwalk? Either way I found this whole thing very interesting. This boardwalk sits on the north side of AC so maybe the “Noreasters” take their toll. This boardwalk initially wrapped around to the eastern/ocean side of the island but now it’s so broken up it doesn’t go through. Here are some pictures of the shoddy boardwalk.
The casinos were fun. We spent most of our time at Ballys, Ballys Wild West, and Harrahs. They are all pretty much the same thing that have the same games. It’s like choosing between McDonalds or Burger King. Same shit! I found myself to be lucky/competent at video poker (of course) and a video slot machine called “bonus party” or “bonus block party”. I did pretty well. I’m no high roller but let’s say I had a wonderful time with little expense thanks to my winnings.
What makes AC interesting is the people that gamble. They come from all walks of life and they are completely obsessed with gambling. They walk around the casino floor like dazed zombies. Some of the outfits and hairdo’s were noteworthy. This next picture was taken by Rob. This “lady” had an award winning mullet. Even fringe for lesbian standards.
Well, for what it’s worth, I had a great time. I’d go back! I want to end this now before it starts to REALLY become a “what I did last summer” blog (as if it hasn’t already). Thanks again to Rob Montgomery for the get-away and for introducing me to Mary and Kevin! Good people! Good times!
Space Weather Alert
The giant gas giant (no not Rush Limbaugh) Jupiter will be approaching Earth for the closet encounter in decades. So, if its clear out after midnight, take a moment from your fabulous time and look up to the sky to see this massive planet. The next time it will be this close is 2022…and who knows what in the hell we will be doing then…shit…we could even be dead.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY To An Awesome Man!
Such a wonderful selfless man… I know he’s gonna hate this! I can hear it now, “my God Chad! I hate that picture of me!” HAHA!
MUAH!
Chronicles of the Absurd asks “Then Why Am I In The Picture?”
Well the voter’s of the great state of Delaware spoke last night and there to answer the call was their champion Christine O’Donnell. Typically, I could give a shit less what happens in Delaware unless it involves tax free shopping or some time spent with dear friends at the beach, but in this case, I can’t let it slide.
The old “Nuts on the Forehead” or “Tea Bagging” party scored a victory over their Republican counterparts by electing Chrissy to run for the Republican ticket for Joe Biden’s (of all people) seat in the Senate. I watched this morning on some news station thanking Sarah Palin for her victory. Really? Wow. If the Chronicles of the Absurd was having a beauty pageant, she would definitely be first runner up. The reason why for first runner up? She scored low points with the closeted gay judges during the final Q & A round on the masturbation question.
Even Sarah Palin is not stupid enough to answer or even bring up that question, I mean the bitch can see Russia from her house! I just feel sorry for the people of Delaware when their S.A.L.T. leader goes to the Senate and enacts laws that forbid them from touching themselves when with themselves. And as for an answer to Chrissy’s question at the end of the video, “If it was not for putting a masturbation piece in front of masses, hiding the Talibanistic Christian Right Wing Bullshit, honey you would not have been elected…that is why you are in the picture bitch!”
Space Weather Alert
I’ve been getting burned out on space weather as of late. Don’t know why cause its happening all the time whether I like it or not. However, there are somethings in this universe that re-charge our desires, creativity, thoughts, etc. This picture of an aurora taken in Norway during a crack appearing in our magnetic field has ignited my love of this planet, its sun, its neighbors, and beyond.
So, the charged particles have slipped through my crack and I am powerless to resist (that sounds so filthy….I love it). Hope the blow back has you feeling the same 🙂
Ok, ok, I guess I’m a Twit now….
Somehow I’ve been bitten by the Twitter bug…. you can check me out at @BobCarmody
Lucky I got my name… there’s 20 Bob Carmodys in the University of Pennsylvania computer system! And they’re not me!
