Here I am recovering from 4th of July. My shoulders are burnt from the sun, my son's chin got burned slightly due to a stray hot cherry from a sparkler, my street looks like a war zone.
In lovely Buena Park, CA they outlawed any and all fireworks and that really pissed people off. I thought it was great. This way I didn't have to worry about my house burning down because of some punk kids misusing the fireworks.
then people signed a pettition and the fireworks were allowed again. Friggen lovely. So Now we are back to worrying. I am over a friends house when I see smoke billowing up from a house on the next block. I know this is not a firework. It was pure thick black smoke and it was huge.
I drive over to the next street and thank god there were people already there putting the fire our. A firework landed in the back yard and fire started in a pile of plastic and wood.
So now we put the fire out and we are driving home. I must have seen 400 illegal fireworks shooting up into the air from all streets in all direction. Not just bottle rockets. I mean exploding in many different colors.
Then I get home and there are tons of people I don't know on our street because their town doesn't allow them to set off fireworks. Now people are lighting fireworks and tying them to ballons and letting these burning flames fly over homes.
There must have been 1000 illegal fireworks by our house. Any way you look you saw the sky exploding. It sounded like Iraq.
the noise didn't stop until about midnight. While everyone was asleep a fire was burning in the city of valencia. Right next to Six Flaggs Magic Mountain. I hope all is all right this morning.
To top off the whole miserable night I come to find out Barry White passed away yesterday. May he rest in peace.
See you soon, Barry.

It's illegal. No. It's legal, but it's still illegal!

GRAY DAVID MUST GO!
Yahoo! News - GOP Files Challenge to Tripling of Car Tax
you have to love good old Gray Davis. One reason why I hate California is because of him. The other reason is because the people here were stupid enough to re-elect him after our outragous electricity fiasco.
He is now trying to triple our car tax. Thank god my wife and I paid ours. Ha Ha. You big rat.
Let's hope our recall efforts work and we knock that useless politician out of office. Of course, what politician is usefull?
I kind of hope Arnold Shwartzenegger (sp?) gets the position. I would love to see him blow up a few things around here.

WHOOPS. SORRY. WE GAVE YOUR MONEY AWAY
boy it just gets better. Today I closed my merchant account for my website. My merchant acct. company tells me that there is a penalty for closing the acct. Lovely. A mystery charge.
Well they have already withdrawn the $300 out of my Wells Fargo acct.
Now I call Wells Fargo and I tell them that I never gave the merchant company permission to take $300 from my acct. Wells Fargo said there is nothing they can do and I have to go get the money myself. Friggen Beautiful.
Here is another company that doesn't do their job correctly. Now I have to do their job.
Have you ever noticed that when it comes to the medical industry you have to do all their jobs for them just to get something accomplished? It's like my responsibility to get the doctor paid. I don't care if the dr. get's paid, but if I don't push the insurance to pay then they will hound me in collections and destroy my credit. So I will have to spend the next 100 hours getting the dr. paid by the insurance company because Blue Cross or Blue Shield or whomever isn't doing their job.
Why is it that I am the only person who can lose my job if I don't do it correctly. I go to Mcdonald's and never get what I want.
I see another basketball player just beat his wife and tested positive for 20 different drugs. Then he renegotiates for another $100 million.
Why is it that the carwash people can never remember to squirt the new car smell into my car. Especially since I paid for it.
Why is it that only half the people who say they will call you back ever call you back and only 5% of the people who said they would come to your party really show up.
Why do people pull out of a gas station at 50 mph just to get out before traffic blocks them in and then they cruise at a whopping 20 mph once they are out in front of you.
How come handicapped people drive better cars than I do and walk twice as fast as I do.
Why do I pay a fee on my phone bill that helps pay other people's phone bills. When does everyone pay my bill.
How come there are more hispanics in california then whites and yet they are still called minorities. When do the whites get minority benefits. When will there be the white college fund or the white grammy awards, or even white entertainment television. Oh that's right, everyone can do that, but white people. silly me.
I am having a hell of a time with my small business. I need a low rate minority loan. In fact, imagine I am indian and give me money for no particular reason other than I am pretending to be indian. I also want to take that money you gave me for pretending to be indian and I will build a pretend casino that will take more of your money. :-)
whew! I am tired. let's continue this rant later.

THANKS FOR FLOPPING AT SEARS
I now remember why I started this blog. it's to rant about stupid things like SEARS!
I go to SEARS to return something that I bought online and they tell me I have to mail it to them. They said I can't walk into the store and return the item.
thanks. I love to waste more money mailing clothing back. I told the lady that I hate SEARS. They are overpriced, uncooperative, good for nothing other than craftsman, piece of SH*T store.
Now I only go to SEARS for screwdrivers. DAMN I hate when people don't care about customer service. FRY SEARS, FRY!
By the way, what ever happened to ROEBUCK? He probably was pissed off that he couldn't return his own merch to his own store and just quite the company.

MEN ARE PIGS. LEAVE HIS SORRY ASS.
spoke to a friend from Bible study. This person was in need of advice regarding her family. I gave advise that wasn't really according to the Bible, but it seems like the right thing to do.
It's very difficult when you give life changing advice. I better go slow with her and not push her in any direction. I will give her pros and cons on each way she can go.
boy, I better pray on this one!!!

I sent out a link to my new blogging site and my good friend Billy writes me.
Billy and I were DJs at 94.3 the BEE in Redding, CA. He is an amazing person. I could talk with him for hours.
Anyway, he has said that he wants help marketing his own line of products. Boy, that was a compliment. Him asking me.
I hope he serious. I can't stand talkers. Nothing is worse then talking about doing something and not doing it. What a waste of time. You have no idea how many people do this.
Billy has never been a talker, so I have nothing to worry about with him. Great guy.
