The Pussification of America

By spiralout1976

Preface: Well now it’s been just about a month since I’ve made a post. That is far too long to leave you all without some sort of entertainment and for that I apologize. I will try my best to make sure that you all have some good reading material from this day forward. Ya know reading material for you and perhaps even your children. (Ok perhaps your reading my blog to your children wouldn’t be the best decision you ever made in your life, but it might help them learn something.) 

So you’re sitting there reading this and wondering why I entitled this entry, The Pussification of America. Well I guess you will just have to read the entire blog to figure that out now won’t you? Before I get into the “meat and potatoes” of my post let me say this: When I was growing up I played sports. I played t-ball (that was way easy), AYSO (I wasn’t good enough for club soccer), basketball (I’m white and can’t shoot a basketball for shit), cross country/track (I can run like no other but there really isn’t any fun in running long distances), roller hockey/ice hockey (I will kick your ass on roller blades and/or ice skates). Most of these sports were either for leagues or for high school. There was always a first place, second place, third place, and then all the rest of the sucky teams. 

When I was growing up it was ok to lose. I understood that I wasn’t that good at a particular sport, but I still played because I loved it and enjoyed it. It was time spent with friends and with my dad and mom. Sure we wanted to win, but it was really about building relationships with other team members. It was about eating oranges during half-time of the soccer game. It was about having fun and enjoying being a kid. It was about learning how to take a bunch of kids and teach them how to reach a certain goal together as one not as an individual. And when it came to school I also understood that I wasn’t the smartest kid in the class. I struggled with math and chemistry. I’m smart, but I knew I wasn’t the smartest kid in the class and I never worried about it. (My parents did, but I never did. Well they were more concerned with the “Talks excessively in class” hmmmmm me talk excessively??? NOOOOOOOO! Not possible!) 

Now on to the “meat and potatoes” of my post. This picture below was posted on a friends Facebook. I read it and thought to myself, “Ya know this is exactly what every kid in America needs to read and hear! Every kid that is 25 or younger needs to read this. Why? Because it is so true!” So with that I will give you my thoughts on all 11 rules… Yeah I know you are way excited aren’t you? So sit your ass down, strap yourself in, and hold on because it’s going to be a bumpy ride! There might be a few things you don’t like or don’t agree with. If that’s the case then message me back and tell me what you think. I’m always open for discussion….(Just know I’m always right! LOL…ok..ok…not always, but most of the time.)

Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!: Yes life is not fair. No school in the world will teach you this. It’s just the nature of the beast. Life will not always be fair. You may be the smartest and best looking kid out there, but you will get shut out at some point. Someone will put you in your place and you will not like it, but hey that’s life! In real life there is always someone that is working harder and striving to get to the finish line before you. It is your desire and dedication that will trump that and ensure that you finish on top. There will be times that you don’t finish on top. This isn’t a time to sit back and blame others for this because it is not their fault. Stop blaming others for your failures and embrace them as your own and learn from them. You will make mistakes in your life that is just being human. It is when you learn from those mistakes and persevere that makes you a better person. There is not a road map or directions for life! You are the maker of your own destiny. A former manager of mine once told me the following and it is so true: SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION!

Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself!: No one cared about my self-esteem when I was growing up. My parents didn’t care about my self-esteem. It’s not a knock on them as parents. When I was growing up we didn’t worry about self-esteem. It was just part of growing up. Being a kid. Learning how to interact with other kids. Ya know socializing with others. There are some of you out there that I didn’t like in elementary school, junior high, or high school. Just as I probably wasn’t liked by some of you as well. (Mainly because my dad and step-mom were FBI agents..but that is another discussion…LOL) But that was just part of growing up we all had different paths in life. And now that we are all adults we can all look back and laugh at the things we did back then and still be friends. Sure we all like praise from our parents and to be told that they are proud of us. However, the entire self-esteem thing is out of control. Let’s just give a pacifier to every kid out there today and tell them that they kick ass and they can do NO wrong! 

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. (Ok before I tackle this one…ummmm a VP with a car phone? Do they even have car phones these days? Obviously we can assume that this little picture I posted is not really a speech that Bill Gates gave recently to high school kids…however, lets not take away from the message it sends..now onward to my diatribe…) Yes we all know that NO ONE will make $60,000 out of high school or be a VP of a company. These things take hard work and dedication. (Well there are some that are wicked smart and develop Facebook, Google, Instagram, etc and make ridiculous amounts of money while in college….) So with that I really don’t have much more to say about this one….:P

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss: Ya know I did have some tough teachers through the years. Perhaps my favorite one and one that pushed me the most was Mr. Bill Csellak. Even through all of my college courses I always remember his class like it was yesterday. I have a feeling I’m not the only one that feels that way! Now with that being said….wait till you get a boss. This is so true. My last manager at Bank of America inspired me and made me who I am professionally like no one else. Why? Because he allowed me to be me! He pushed me to exceed in everything that I did. That is what good leaders do. He made me into the leader I wanted to be. I, in turn, was able to pass that along to my staff when I was “the boss”. A true “boss” is also a teacher. Because that “boss” should want you to succeed in what you do because it is a direct reflection on them as a leader. 

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity: The work ethic with the younger generation is horrible. They don’t even know what work ethic means these days. They think that having a job is their right not a privilege. Ummm sorry you ungrateful asshole, but a job is a privilege. If you can’t perform the job as it is laid out for without bitching/whining/complaining then I am sure I can find someone that can replace you and do ten times the amount of work you are doing WITHOUT complaining. And on top of that I bet that person is 15 – 20 years OLDER than you! And why will they work harder than you? Because they were instilled with the proper beliefs and ethics to understand that NOTHING is ever given to you in this world! They understand that HARD WORK will pay off in the end! At the age of 12 I already had a job! I was a paper delivery boy for the News Chronicle (Now the Ventura County Star). Every day after school I would fold the papers and put them in my sack and then ride my bike around and deliver the paper to over 200 customers. Then on Saturday and Sundays I would be up at 6am folding papers, putting the ads and comics inside the Sunday paper, and then ride around to deliver them no later than 8am. Then I would have to ride around once a month and knock on the door to collect the payment for the paper. 

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parent’s fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them: Let’s be honest here! I fucked up when I was growing up! So did you! I apologized a few times for my fuck ups! I learned from them! My parents didn’t shield me from them or make excuses! They made me own up to my mistakes. They made me admit when I was wrong. They made me admit defeat. They helped me understand how I made a mistake. They explained to me why I was wrong. They let me grow from those mistakes. They let me learn from my mistakes. However, they were always there to pick me up and made sure everything was alright. My parents didn’t sugar coat anything with me. If I fucked up they let me know. And we talked about it. If I fucked up on something one time that was it I wouldn’t do it again. (Ok maybe sometimes I would, but usually by the second time I learned my lesson) The point is nowadays if a kid fucks up there is no accountability. Someone always gets blamed for it. It’s never just the kids fault for being a dumb ass!!! Come on now you know you were a dumb ass at one point, but you learned from it and your parents helped with that learning process! Now we blame the system, the school, or society….. 

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation. try delousing the closet in your own room:  Ok this one doesn’t really pertain to Gen X (come on now you fuckers that’s OUR generation…ya know those born in the early to mid 70′s! LOL) I realize my parents sacrificed A LOT to provide for me. I could NEVER repay them for all that they have done for me. Now I am not talking about any of my friends or their kids in any of this, but I see it time and time again on the news about how kids are these days. This is a fast paced life they are living….With facebook, twitter, myspace (not so much anymore), and all of the other social media life has been taking away from all of us. Kids don’t “grow up” anymore. I see friends kids that are 12/13 years old and they act as though they are 18-21 already….What ever happened to being a kid and having fun???? 

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT! In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life: This one really bugs me. I have many friends that are teachers! Teachers are, by far, the most under-appreciated profession in this country. I hear about all the work that goes into these standardized tests and I cringe. Life isn’t about standardized tests! We need to have winners and losers in school! Not everyone is cut out for this world. Do I feel bad for the stupid ones? No I don’t! Is there really anything you or any other teacher can do for the stupid ones? No not really! That’s just the nature of the beast! There is always a place for stupid people in our society! This may seem harsh to some, but that is the problem with our country! NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A WINNER! This is not a Utopian Society we live in. There are winners! There are losers! There are smart people! There are stupid people. There is a place in society for each of these people. Let’s stop giving a pacifier to everyone and realize that, “Hey, Well Johnny ya know what you really just aren’t going to amount to anything so here’s an application to the local gas station.” (I know I will get some heat for that, but really that is truly the facts! Not everyone is cut out to be a leader, a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, or a business man/woman.)

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time: Ok first let me say this….The smartest people I know that are my friends are: TEACHERS!!! Now of course I’m sure they will all say that they wanted to help the future of America and enjoy watching the kids learn and grow as individuals…..However, I really know what is going on here! They just wanted to be able to have summers off just like their students do! See I told you TEACHERS are the smartest people I know! FREAKING GENIUS’ I TELL YA!!!! Now with that being said….Attention all Gen Y, Z and whatever else they call those saggy pants people….A real job is tough! Its 40 hours a week if you’re lucky. Most jobs are pushing 50 hours a week. And with that you may get ONE week of vacation. If you work at the company long enough you may get four or five weeks vacation….but that’s after working for the same company for 15 + years. So don’t think you getting a job is going to allow you to take off anytime you like. You must live by the motto: WORK HARD!!!! PLAY HARDER!!!! 

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs: Let me add to this…In real life people are not always partying it up, living with the opposite sex, drinking copious amounts of alcohol (unless you come to my house), and having random sex. (Jersey Shore anyone?) Real life, for the most part, requires 40-60 hours of work per week to earn a pay check. Real life means dedication, loyalty, and responsibility. Nothing will be handed to you. You have to work for everything you get. Real life is NOT fair! get used to it! 

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one: I can’t say that I have ever actually worked for a nerd. However, if anyone ever works for me then well I rest my case!!!!!!!!

In the end I am just tired of the political correctness bullshit! The Pussification of America! We all can’t finish first. We might finish second or third, but the next time we will come back stronger! We will strive to make sure we finish first that next time. We won’t give up! The world is a crazy place and we must have failure before we have success. If we teach our kids that success is the only option then when they do fail (because they will) how do we explain it to them. Sports Leagues don’t give out trophies anymore for first, second, or third place anymore! Why? What kind of lesson is that? If I had kids and they came in second or third I would tell them that they sucked this year, but then I would say we need to work harder for them to finish first next year. It is perfectly ok for a kid to have failure in his or her life. Failure is the building block to success. Do you think Bill Gates ever failed? Do you think Donald Trump ever failed? (Trump filed bankruptcy at one point) Michael Jordan failed! Tiger Woods??? (Epic FAIL!) Humans fail it is in our nature to fail, but it is the drive and the determination in all of us that allows us to learn from our failures and succeed! If at first you don’t succeed…try try try again! What ever happened to that lesson? 

Until Next Time,

Do You Have Any Irish In You? ….Want Some?

By spiralout1976

Its that time of year again. The green beer will be flowing and the Irish Car Bombs will be exploding… And by the end of the night there will be plenty of rookie drinkers praying to the porcelain god. At this time I would like to send a toast out to all of my friends! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May your day be filled with lots of beer and liquor. May you eat some delicious corn beef and cabbage. May your night be filled with good friends and great memories. (Although if you remember all of your night then you weren’t celebrating hard enough.) May you wake up on Friday morning, picking up your phone, scrolling through all of the recent calls and text messages in order to do “damage control”.

Now for some of us we were blessed to be born Irish. Myself I am Irish, German, and a little Dutch thrown in for good measure. So in essence I got the drinking gene. On this glorious day drinking is highly encouraged. However, one must know how to pace themselves. Remember, St. Patricks Day is a marathon and not a sprint. There are plenty of amateurs that show up on this wonderful day. The amateurs will show themselves over time and will either be arrested, passed out, or kicked out of the establishment. These types of people really should just stay home and leave this game to the professionals. Sadly, they never do stay home and show up to the local establishment so pumped and so excited. More than likely some of them will be wearing a shirt that looks something like the picture above. This is why I plan to stay home on this day. I’m not a rookie any more and I really don’t want to see the guys drooling over the girls that they will never get. 

For me I really don’t need a day that encourages me to drink.  But for some they need that extra little push to get out there and enjoy themselves. Some of you will decide to do the “green beer” thing, but I highly suggest to skip this. There’s no reason why one needs to color their beer with green food coloring. Just drink the damn beer already!

A note to all of you singles out there….. Pick your target early in the night and try your best to stick with them. Because by the end of the night they are all going to look like the hottest thing you have ever seen in your life. Then you wake up the next morning, roll over, and say to yourself “WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO LAST NIGHT?” (Now now I don’t speak from experience….no really..I don’t….ok..maybe once…) 


Have a safe St. Patricks Day. 

Until Next Time,

Spiral Out

It’s Almost Here

By spiralout1976

(Well those of you that aren’t wish you were on this day!)

It’s coming!!! My 2nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day post. I have no idea what I will be including this year, but rest assured its on its way. Perhaps this year it will be a guide to all of those “rookies” out there on how to act properly while out at a drinking establishment. For those of you that are wondering…. I will NOT be joining in the festivities this year. I am 35 years old! I have had 14 years of St. Pattys day to celebrate (legally of course). It’s not that I am old. It’s that I am responsible. I will leave the night to the douche bags and the Snooki’s of the world to drink way to much and get arrested.

In order to spice up your St. Patrick’s Day I will have my post up probably by tomorrow night…..So stay tuned…….

Until Next Time,

Spiral Out

Where the F*ck did Cupid go?

By spiralout1976

Well well well…..So another year has passed. It’s time for me to write my 2nd annual Valentine’s Day post. Now of course to some of us it’s also known as S.A.D (Singles Awareness Day). Why?

Well because for those of us that are single we are reminded by our wonderful friends at Hallmark, Kay Jewelers, and Victoria’s Secret that February 14th is Valentines Day. You know that special day when you are supposed to tell that special someone how much they mean to you.

I mean after all you shouldn’t tell that special someone how much they mean to you on February 15th or even April 1st. You are supposed to let that special someone in your life know that on February 14th that they mean the absolute world to you.

So guys, go on and head to the local florist and buy your special someone that dozen of red roses. Spend the $69.95 for said dozen of roses! Now if your dumb ass would of just bought that same dozen of roses about three weeks earlier you would of saved yourself roughly about $50. (And guys if you are trying to win that girl or make her feel special for the first time….please please please don’t be that douche bag that goes and gets a dozen red roses! Red roses mean LOVE…you don’t love her you just want to get in her pants on Valentines Day!)

Now according to Kay Jewelers….”Every kiss begins with Kay”….I beg to differ here. I’ve had plenty of kisses over the last year that did not begin with some silver plated piece of jewelry that will turn green in about three months after wearing it. (Ok ok so not plenty of kisses, but for those that I did have they DID NOT begin with a piece of jewelry from Kay Jewelers.)

And then the Victoria’s Secret (VS)  thing… Come on fella’s when are you going to learn. Stop being so cliche and be original. Don’t buy something from VS. Spice it up a bit and go to the local adult store or order online from Frederick’s of Hollywood.

Yeah yeah yeah. Why take advice from a single guy on Valentine’s Day. What the fuck do I know right? I’m going to be the one alone on V-Day while you are figuring out a way to get into the pants of your significant other….even though you really shouldn’t have to figure that out…you should know how to do that by now! LOL (Well actually I won’t be alone…..but shhh don’t tell anyone…ok ok yes I am going out on Valentine’s Day for the first time in eight years…..yeah yeah yeah…shut it would ya! LOL)

And for all of those single guys out there that have been down on your luck lately. Perhaps you hit a dry spell. It really just hasn’t been your year so far in 2012. Well pick yourself up by the boot straps and head to your local bar. There will be plenty of  ladies for you to choose from on V-day.

Let’s see…. You will have the following to choose from:

  • Single girl that feels lonely and hasn’t had the company of a man in quite some time now. (Don’t pressure her and just go with the flow it’s easier than you think it is)
  • Girl that recently broke up with or got dumped by her boyfriend and feels vulnerable (Let her come to you. Don’t pressure her just give her your shoulder to cry on and let the rest fall where it may.)
  • Milf that is currently separated because she was cheated on my her husband and wants revenge and is looking for a young buck such as yourself
  • Cougar that has been divorced/widowed for sometime now and is just now getting back into the world of “dating”
  • Married woman that wants to surprise her husband with a little extra-curricular activities (mainly because he can’t get it up anymore and needs someone else to satisfy his wife)
  • And last but not least you will have the swinger couple that is bored with their normal sex life and wants to spice things up a bit

Now with all that being said…Just realize that as the night goes on and you’re continuing to drink each of the above mentioned girls/women keep on getting better looking. So pick out your poison early in the night and stick with it. There is a slight chance that you will go home alone. That’s ok though. Sometimes that is better than the alternative…..

Waking up…rolling over…and saying to yourself “What the fuck did I do last night?”

Until Next Time,

Spiral Out

Dear Santa……

By spiralout1976

Happy Holidays to all my friends near and far. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Feliz Navidad, and if I forgot you I apologize in advance…….Regardless of what holiday you celebrate remember that we are all on this thing we call Earth one time and one time only. There is no time for hatred. There is only time for love, respect, kindness, and laughter. I hope that I bring a little bit of each to all of you. 

LIVE IT UP! DRINK IT DOWN! LAUGH IT OFF!

 And without further adieu I give you my “Dear Santa” letter. 

Dear Santa,

I really am not asking a lot of you this Christmas. I realize that you are extremely busy this time of year. I know that you have millions upon millions of children that you need to visit around the world. However, you can’t forget about us adults that still believe in you! Why wouldn’t I, a 35 year old man, believe in you? I mean after all you have not aged a bit since I was a kid, you’re overweight, you play with little elves, you have flying reindeer as your mode of transportation, you only eat milk and cookies, and you have worn the same red suit for as long as I can remember. Oh and somehow you fit your fat ass down chimneys around the world that even the skinniest person in the world couldn’t fit down. 

Speaking of chimneys…. What in the world do you do when there is no chimney? I don’t have a chimney here at my house! Why? Well, you jack ass, I live in Florida what the fuck would I need a chimney for anyways? Alright enough about chimney’s because I really don’t need to know how you do what you do. Let’s get on to why I am writing you. 

First off lets get this out in the open. I would like to tell you that I’ve been nothing but nice this year. However, that’s just not possible. I’ve had my moments of naughtiness. And let me tell you those were some damn good moments too! I guess I’ve probably been more naughty than nice throughout the year. (What kind of fun could I have if I was always nice?)

I will spare you the details and just tell you that, Santa, you would be proud of some of the things I have done. (Now I really can’t say that my mom would be proud, but you….yes you would be very proud.) So with that being said I still have something that I would like you to bring me. Of course I realize that it is short notice seeing as though Christmas is only 10 days away. So you don’t have to deliver it on Christmas day, but just let me know approximately of when I will get my present. Now you probably should sit down for this request……

Santa, I want “The One”. You know that one that all of us are searching for. See you have Mrs. Claus. Well I want my “Mrs. Claus.” (Except I don’t want her to be ummmm big boned like Mrs. Claus. No offense of course!) Here’s my list:

1. She needs to be intelligent: I’m not talking just book smart. She doesn’t need to be a doctor, a lawyer, etc. (Although I wouldn’t be against any of that especially the lawyer thing because with my track record I may need one sooner than later.) I want her to be able to discuss the world. Have thoughts, beliefs, and convictions about this world that we live in. I want her to have an opinion on what is going on around the world and within the United States. Her opinion does not have to agree with mine, but at least someone that can argue, debate, talk about what they believe in. Someone that isn’t afraid to speak her mind even when her opinion may be against the norm. (We all know my opinion is against the norm and it tends to piss most of my family off…or as they say “They just don’t understand where any of these beliefs come from because I wasn’t raised that way.” Correct I wasn’t raised that way and I wouldn’t change the way I was raised…It’s called opening my mind and my eyes and discovering new ways of thinking….) 

2. She is sexy/attractive/hot/beautiful/gorgeous in my eyes: We all have different tastes on what we find sexy. (Santa apparently you like them big and round. Well me? Not so much.) I’m not expecting a Victoria Secret model or a Frederick’s of Hollywood model. (Although that would be really nice if you could swing that for me.) In my eyes, “The One” would be my own model and I would believe that she could be all of those things. I don’t want her to be the “trophy” in my friends eyes, because to me she would be that and so much more. I would think that she is beautiful when we woke up face to face in the morning. When she’s sitting there with no make up on and wearing nothing but my dress shirt. I would think she was sexy when she’s sick in bed with kleenex, vicks vapor rub, and a bottle of nyquil. I would find her gorgeous after she got home from the gym (because she will belong to a gym! LOL) all sweaty from working out. In the end she doesn’t need to be sexy/attractive/hot/beautiful/gorgeous to any one else but me. (Although it would help if others looked at us together and thought to themselves, “How in the hell did he end up with her?”) (Oh and Santa if you find her sexy/attractive/hot/beautiful/gorgeous could you please keep your hands off her you old pervert you!) 

3. Needs to either be a football fan or understand what football season means: Now if you could find “The One” that loved football then I would be willing to give up a lot. (I’ll have to get back to you on what I would actually be willing to give up…) However, if that is not possible then she needs to understand what football season means. This means that from the first weekend in September through the first weekend of January all Sundays are already spoken for. (The football schedule is also up for adjustment after Thanksgiving as there will be games on Thursday nights and Saturday nights until the regular season ends)  This means there will be no road trips, shopping excursions, company/family coming to visit (unless said company was coming to watch football). This also means that we will always have DirecTV with NFL Ticket. This means we will have a large flat screen with multiple smaller flat screens so that I (we) can watch multiple games at one time. Also on Thanksgiving Day regardless of what teams are playing, there WILL BE football on television. Once the playoffs start there will be some weekends that Saturday and Sunday are spoken for. She is free to either join me during football season or she can have Sunday girls day. If she chooses to participate in Football Sundays she must understand the game of football. If at all possible she CANNOT be a fan of the following teams: SAN DIEGO CHARGERS, DENVER BRONCOS, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS, or NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS.  If by chance she is a fan of the above teams there will be limited amount of space allowed for things associated with said teams. And last but not least the OAKLAND RAIDER games will always supersede any game and any team that is on television. 

4. She must enjoy time with her girls and allow me time with my boys: Now Santa we are both grown men. You understand the importance of hanging out with your boys. Well in your case, you understand the importance of hanging out with midgets….little people…vertically challenged….elves whatever you call them…. I want “The One” to be able to have time with her girls so that it allows me time with my boys. We can both go do our own thing and not feel guilty about doing this. I don’t want it to be where she is texting me or calling me throughout the night wondering what I am doing. (Now of course I reserve the right to call or text her to see what she is doing. Yes I know its a double standard. Although I trust her I just do not trust the douche bags that she will probably be around at the bar. Because before I met her I was one of those douche bags drooling over her without her knowing it.)  I think it is important that the two of us have time away from one another. Now of course on some occasions we can bring girls night and boys night together, but only if all parties involved agree to this. 

5. She needs to be able to express herself (in bed): Now Santa for as long as you have been with Mrs. Claus you have to understand the importance of this one. At times things may get a little “vanilla” and you would like things to be spiced up. I want “The One” to be comfortable enough to tell me things that she likes. Things that she may be embarrassed about, but she is willing to tell me so that I can please her. Sure there may be times that I will say, “No, thats just not going to happen.” However, it won’t ever hurt to ask. In turn I would hope that I could tell her things that I like or would like to try if it hasn’t been done yet. It’s really not to much to ask for. She needs to understand that I find her sexy/attractive/hot/beautiful/gorgeous no matter what happens or what she asks or what we do. (And Santa get your mind of of the gutter you sick man!) 

In closing, Santa, I do realize this is a lot to ask for. If you cannot provide this for me I truly understand. I promise that I won’t stop believing in your fat ass. I will continue to write you a letter each year in hopes of getting the things that I want. I just want someone that will always be faithful to me, honest with me (good or bad), caring, and love me for who I am faults and all. If you can’t deliver this to me then all I want is a case of Newcastle. 

Until Next Year,

Spiral Out

It’s Coming…..

By spiralout1976

(Hmmmm. Have I been Naughty or Nice this year?)

In my last post I told all of you that I was working on a few things. Although I have been working on some of them I really haven’t put to much thought into them as of late. However, I was inspired by something I read today. I’m going to be putting together my Dear Santa letter here shortly. I’ve got a few things that I would like that old fat man to bring me. Now it doesn’t need to be on Christmas Day although I wouldn’t mind finding “The One” with a little red bow on her head underneath the Christmas tree.

Now of course I know that is not going to happen, but I figured I’d let Santa know what I want and need in “The One”. So stay tuned for Chad’s “DEAR SANTA” letter. (I can promise you it won’t be for the faint of heart…….then again you all should probably know that by now!)

Until Next Time,

Spiral Out

It’s Been Awhile….

By spiralout1976

Well now folks it has been quite some time since I’ve posted anything in regards to the dating world. Rest assured I am working on a few things that will leave you all entertained. The reason for my absence is because of a few things:

1) Drama between a few of my close friends that I am knee deep in the middle off. (Just another reason as to why I really don’t want to get married!)
2) The lack of a dating life (I decided to take a looooooooooooooong break from dating) It’s not you, its me! Well actually it is YOU!
3) The holidays are approaching. (I really don’t want to have to buy a present for you, but if you want to buy a present for me then go right ahead)
4) I’ve got to work on my update for the past year which has normally been through facebook. This year I’m doing it through my blog. You know a questionnaire about what I’ve been up to the last year. I’m searching long and hard for the perfect “survey”.
5) It’s football season! The Raiders are currently in FIRST PLACE. I’m living and breathing everything that has to do with all that is Silver & Black. (Ohhhh and the Chargers suck again!!! Imagine that…..All is right in the world of football at this point….lmfao)
6) And lastly…..I just haven’t felt inspired to write about much as of late (no it’s not because I’m depressed or anything like that. It’s just because life takes over and I haven’t had the time to sit down and let my fingers do the talking.)

I’m sure many of you have been waiting on pins and needles for my next post. I do have a few things in the works that I need to write about. Although they are dating related topics they don’t include me. They will be about things I hear from my friends. Stay tuned for what is next. I will probably be renaming my page since its not really about my dating life anymore. (I’m currently accepting new titles for my blog.)

At this point I think I’m going to take myself out of the dating game all together. Delete all of my profiles from the different dating sites I am on. The only one I haven’t tried as of yet is “Eharmony”. I may have to give that one a try at some point. Perhaps all of the psychological bullshit it has will weed out the crazy ones. Then again I like a little crazy. I like to play with fire and apparently fire likes to play with me.

Just wait patiently my friends. I will get to it eventually. I hate letting all of you down.

 

Until Next Time,

Spiral Out

Mountain of Lies…………

By spiralout1976

This post will be short and to the point. I leave you with one quote. This quote is the preface to William Cooper’s book, “Behold A Pale Horse”. A majority of you probably have either never heard of this book or have past it off as being written by a complete nut job. Now a good portion of the book I question myself. However, there are parts of the book that I can see to be true. This post is not about the book itself, but about one quote that comes in the beginning of the book. I could sit here and dissect the quote and explain its meaning in my eyes, but I will let you figure it out for yourselves.

Take a moment out of your lives to read the following quote. Sit back and analyze everything that it says. When you do that you will understand its power and see how true it actually is. All you need to understand is that WE, as the people of this great country, have been lied to over and over again. Our elected officials would like us to think that they are telling us the TRUTH! Now sit back and read the quote:

“One basic

truth can be used as

a foundation for a mountain

of lies, and if we dig down deep enough in

the mountain of lies, and bring out that truth, to set it

on top of the mountain of lies; the entire mountain of lies will

crumble under the weight of that one truth. And there is nothing

more devastating to a structure of lies than the revelation of the

truth upon which the structure of lies was built, because the

shock waves  of the revelation of the truth

reverberate, and continue to reverberate 

throughout the Earth for generations

to follow, awakening even those 

people who had no desire

to be awakened

to the truth.”

by Delamar Duvaris as written in the preface of “Behold the Pale Horse” by William Cooper

(So that mountain of lies: the election of George W. Bush, 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, the financial meltdown of 2008, the bailouts of 2008, the election of Obama, etc.)

Until Next Time,

Letting Off Steam

By spiralout1976

 

Disclaimer: Before you read this…. Understand that this comes from my heart and my mind. This is what I believe to be true. You may not agree with the things I say, but you should respect them. I may be all over the place when it comes to what I am saying…..just read it and run with it…. I welcome anyone that can stand with me and confront me on what I say in this post. Debate me on the things I believe in and the things I say. However, please respect the things I believe in and say at the same time. Some of you will read this and think I have gone absolutely crazy. Some of you will read this and think, “I don’t give a sh*t about any of this.” To those that think they don’t give a shit, I tell you that I don’t want you complaining a year down the road that you don’t like what’s going on in this country. And to those same people, have a fucking back bone and stand up for something. Believe that you CAN make a difference. Believe that you CAN change the world that you live in. When you continue on and think that your thoughts or opinions DO NOT matter then CHANGE will never happen. Before you read my post I leave you with this: 

 ”People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. “

Well now there comes a time when you take in so much information. You take in so much knowledge. To many this information may be misguided. To many this information may be false. To many this information may be “propaganda”. In the end they all could be right. However, we all have our beliefs. We all have our convictions. We all have what we believe to be true. Now what I believe to be true may in fact not be true at all. And what you may believe to be true may not be true at all. However, somewhere between the two of us there in lies a truth.

If we were able to find the truth then life would probably be boring and we wouldn’t have discussions nor would we have debates between any of us. First and foremost I respect and appreciate someone that sticks to their convictions, beliefs, and the things they believe to be true. Now of course that doesn’t mean that you are going to convince me otherwise or make me believe that you are right. We can always agree to disagree. Now with that being said do not think for one minute that you are better than me. As I do not think that I am better than you for the difference of opinion.

That is something that makes this country great. We are allowed to question. We are allowed to have discussions between friends, families, and foes. If all of my friends believed in the same things I do then life would be boring. I respect and understand where these friends are coming from. I just ask that those same people respect and understand where I am coming from. We have reached a crossroads in our country. I love this country with my entire heart. I would not be able to sit here and type what I type if it wasn’t for my founding forefathers.

In past, there would be countries I would be chastised, arrested, and possibly killed for the things that I believe and write. I write this because I am worried about where we are headed as a country. Many people in America do not worry about these things. Many people have their lives filled with obligations; jobs, kids, spouses, etc. They cannot take the time out to worry about what is going on in our country. “They” think that everything will work itself out and we will all be just fine. Unfortunately that is not the case. Politicians DO NOT have our interest at heart. “They” are only worried about themselves and being able to get re-elected so that they have a paycheck. Public office is not about serving the people anymore. Public office is about doing what is best for that person that is serving in public office. This is why their needs to be term limits on all Congressman/women.

Corporations have taken over politics. People question the entire “Occupy Wall Street” protest. This protest isn’t about corporate greed. This protest is about all of the major banks and investment companies, (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch (BofA company), etc.) that have asked for and been given government bailouts. How is that legal? How is that possible? It’s the Ken Lewis of Bank of America resigning from his CEO post and receiving $53 Million as he walks out the door. And yet BofA had lost money in every quarter since 2009. How is that possible? You run a company and lose money, but you are rewarded with a huge payout.

If you own a small business and make decisions that hurt your company and you lose money why should you be able to ask for assistance? Sorry you suck as an owner of a company and your company failed…>BYE BYE!!! And yet the government decides to bail you out. Can I call the government and ask them for money to help my small business? NO I cannot!!!

My point is that when it comes time to vote next year, please take the time to understand WHO you are voting for. DO NOT just pick a guy or woman for the color of their skin. DO NOT pick a guy or woman for their religious beliefs. Vote for someone that actually has the entire country in mind. Vote for someone that you could stand up for and debate with anyone as to why you voted for them. Vote for someone that you truly believe will represent the United States of America and the United States CONSTITUTION! Vote for someone that will show the rest of the world that we as American citizens will put someone into power that will not only benefit the USA, but will also work hard to become ALLIES with the rest of the world. A President that will NOT send troops to a foreign country just to occupy them because they don’t follow our protocol.

The United States needs to stop being the world police. How about focusing on our problems and issues? How about spending the millions, billions, or trillions on our own people. Spend that money on our education system. Spend that money on our infrastructure (roads, bridges, hospitals, etc). Stop trying to throw money at countries around the world when we can’t even solve our own issues at home. Every great empire eventually crashes. Every great empire extends themselves to much and eventually crumbles.

We were founded upon great principles. We were founded upon principles that still stand true today. This is why the CONSTITUTION is considered a “Living” document. Because it stands the test of time. It can be applied to 300 years ago and it can be applied to our way of life today!

My friends, I can tell you who I support in this next election. I can tell you exactly why I support this man. I can lead you to “water,”  but I cannot make you drink that “water.” I am by no means all knowing. What I do know is that I am worried about this country. I am worried about where we are going as a nation. I am worried about my niece and the things she will have to endure or go through because of the decisions our current leaders make. I am worried about my friends that have children that will have to endure the same thing my niece will have to endure.

What are those things? Those things are the mistakes that have come from the elected leaders that my generation elected. The leaders that I thought were going to bring CHANGE to Washington. Leaders that I thought were going to finally make a difference in the decisions that were made in Washington. Those “Leaders” that came to Washington haven’t lead. They’ve done the same thing the rest of the so called “Leaders” have done.

I stand before you as a citizen of our great country. I ask that you take the time to learn about Ron Paul. (http://www.ronpaulresource.com/) Think about this election coming up. Look at all candidates and understand what they are about. Learn about everybody that wants to be President. Don’t vote for the status quo. Vote with your conscience. Vote with what you believe in to be true. And lastly DO NOT VOTE if you have no opinion. DO NOT VOTE if you are just doing it to say that you voted! Vote for a reason! Vote for your convictions! Vote for what you believe in!

Until Next Time,

Spiral Out
