No matter your race, creed, sexual orientation, gender, political party, economic level, or social standing there are some constants that we all must come to terms with. Your Government will not protect you. Only the sacrifice and service of brave citizens can help to protect you. You must take personal responsibility for your well being. Your Government will not raise your children. For whatever reason, and I have no intention of debating this here, you are a parent. It is your child not the Government. The child is either a decent human being because you are a decent human being or a dickhead because you are a dickhead. Pardon the language but I feel the disparity required it. Plus this is my blog and if you don't like it you are welcome to surf to some other soft hitting fluff about the Oscars or some other hand holding bullshit. Your Government will not make you rich. They take your hard earned money and misuse it to support their bloated carcasses. It is up to you to ensure that you are financially covered. You owe it to your children and to their future to be fiscally responsible. So please be responsible enough to stop paying $5.00 a day for $0.25 worth of coffee. Nobody should be allowed to be that stupid. Yes it is good, but not $4.75 worth of good. Hold the Government accountable by whatever means is necessary. Yes I said that. If you have to stand your ground and rebel for your beliefs and convictions make damn sure of them and know what and why you are fighting for them. Don't just piss in my ear over the fact your parents didn't give you enough attention as a child. Make the effort to not take the easy path every chance you get. Lazy, fat, and stupid doesn't look good on anyone. And black clothing doesn't make you look any better.
Reach out and make a difference in people's lives. Help out a stranger or friend. Smile often to those who do not know you. Render your anger into a fine point and become passionate about this gift of life you have been given. If you go around with your hand out it is going to get slapped. Make the happiest part of your day looking into the mirror and into the sincere admiration of those you love.
