"F+*k all Causes", almost

I don't give a fuck about any cause other than something that is humanitarian.  I am so sick and tired of every fucking person on this planet having a cause and thinking it's the most important thing in the world. They will spend all their energy trying to promote whatever it is. They believe in it 100 %, yet the reality is.......Enough already.
   

Everybody has a Cause. Everybody has something they believe in. Everybody has an opinion. Let's face it........Opinions and Causes are like "Assholes".....Everybody has one.  But let me tell you what prompted this latest rant of mine....A good friends daughter has started and is very active in a new cause called "Fattitude" , and the bullying that goes along with it.  But if you check the urban dictionary of Fatitude (with one T), the meaning is somewhat different. 

fatitude

noun., an overweight person who has a bad attitude because of it. Tends to be very angry at the world for no reason.

That fat bitch Fallory needs to lose her fatitude.  The bottom line is, it's another cause..If it were just Bullying, I would stand right behind it.

    

When does it stop ?  When do we realize that for every Cause that comes into being, there will be an anti-cause for the complete opposite ?  I heard of a new cause the other day that was pretty interesting. It was "Jew's owning only one home"....Why not ?

     

I think it's high time we only spoke of humanitarian causes and leave the other causes to Facebook.   Let's be realistic......Prostitution, Drugs, Gambling, are also causes.  Which side of the aisle do you fall in ?

     

Now you have something to think about ?????

What are "Super Boobs" ????

Super Boob

Super Boob

I am so fucken sure you never expected this ?  Lets face it. Boobs come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and are everywhere.

They come in boxes, they come in medical offices, they come from synthetics, and every once in a while, they come naturally.  I am so not a boob person.  I probably can't stand 90% of our elected politicians, and maybe will tolerate the other 10%.  I also am convinced that if we gave some guy from the Bronx a wonderful title, paid him $20 per hour without benefits, and got him a wonderful throne to sit on with a quarter in his hand.............well, he will do a better job than our government.  Oh, now you wonder what the quarter is for ? Simple my friend.  For him to toss up every time a decision has to be made...Heads is yes or positive and tails it's no or negative. Problem solved. Go home congress and senate and get some jobs house painting or something that you are qualified doing.
      

Chuck and Harry ?????????????  Maybe you jerks can become the next Harry and David, or Ben and Jerry, or Martin and Lewis.....  You guys are clowns.
       

Oh wait.....My dear Lady G or Justin B.....Your no fucking better.  What the hell is wrong with this world ?  I can go onto sports or any other legitimate business or personality there is. The results will all be the same.
       Maybe it's time for a world of legalized drugs, legalized prostitution, legalized gambling, and let law enforcement worry about only one thing.....Crime....Think about it. If prostitution were legal, all the politicians would be busy with them and would not have the time to make all these stupid decisions. If gambling were legal, all this corporate theft would come to a halt as these execs would be too busy gambling. And of course, if drugs were legal, most of the bad guys would be too high to even consider doing some bad crime...
      

Of course I know this really will never work, but isn't it fun thinking or fantasizing about it ? Or maybe it will work ?????

Complete and Utter Bullshit

READ CRaPUSA.com

Lets talk about Bullshit.  You bullshit, I bullshit, everyone we know bullshits. The only difference is the degree of bullshit.  I have googled Bullshit and cannot believe the number of pages devoted to bullshit.  It is amazing how much bullshit one can learn from reading about bullshit.

Right

      

     
Its amazing the number of facts that are available about bullshit. It is said that married women lie to their spouses about one out of every ten times.   I guess that makes up for the lies men tell their wives.  Who can you trust today ? Who is capable of telling the truth ? In fact, why is there reason to believe that anyone is capable of telling things the way they are ? Just look at most blogs, newspapers, television news, advertising, store ads, politicians, sales people etc. etc. etc.   Just go into your local car dealership to buy a car and listen to the bullshit you will get there.

Crapusa.com

           There are times when I just want to scream. It seems no matter who you talk to today there is a certain amount of bullshit that comes with it.  Your kids are certainly going to bullshit you. When it comes to money you will always get bullshit.  Ask your boss for a raise and see what kind of bullshit will go along with it.

More Bullshit by CRaPUSA.com  

Every now and then, however, you will meet someone who does not bullshit.  The problem is that can be very dangerous. Here is an example of something that is not bullshit.  I recently re-hooked up with someone who I hadn't seen for almost 4 years.  The last time I saw her she was pretty fucked up on drugs and everything that goes with that.  We have spent the last month seeing each other and spending time together.  She is great...She is smart. She is pretty. She has a personality that completely matches mine. She is also much younger than me.  She has plenty going for her , but somehow can't get that right break to really move forward.  She does not Bullshit. At least to me she doesn't.   Normally that would be a wonderful thing.  Problem is she will be so honest with me and tell me certain things about how she would love to go back to her old ways, although she is doing everything possible not to let that happen.  Hopefully she won't read this as that would probably piss her off.  I really hope she does make it and really hope she keeps that no bullshit attitude up.  It works.

WTF   crapusa.com

Didn't mean to get into that, but WTF, that is reality and that is what I write about. I hate bullshit. I hate liars. I hate braggart's. I hate showoffs....Naturally, a little exaggeration is OK, but what the fuck, we are all human.
     I also feel that lots of people feel the way I do.  Been writing this Crappy blog for about 2 years now and still enjoy doing it.  Obviously there are many people all over the world that feel the same way as I do.  I am shocked that about 3 to 4 thousand people read CRaPUSA on a daily basis. We are now read in 192 countries.  How the fuck is that possible.  It make me realize that I am just one little pawn in this vast universe who gets pissed off and upset about things that bother lots of others as well.

So I guess I will continue my rants and raves and continue to be Cynical, Ridiculous and Pathetic in my writings.  Thank you so much for reading this...Please feel free to add comments or email me at Larry@crapusa.com           
     
       
      

Don't Get Me Wrong , But

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Chris Christie has strongly defended his decision to have flags flown at half-staff Saturday for Whitney Houston despite receiving emails and other messages disparaging the singer and criticizing him.
The Republican governor said Wednesday that he rejects complaints that Houston "forfeited the good things that she did" because of her struggles with substance abuse.
"What I would say to everybody is there but for the grace of God go I," he said.
Christie ordered flags flown at half-staff at state government buildings Saturday, the day funeral services are held for Houston at the Newark church she sang at as a child.
Twitter was abuzz Wednesday with reaction to the decision by Christie, whose home is in Mendham, a wealthy town where Houston also had lived.
In online postings, there were two main arguments against the honor for the Grammy Award winner who died over the weekend in California at age 48: One was that it should be reserved for members of the military, first responders and elected officials. The other was that it's wrong to honor a drug addict.
          The above is just one of many articles written today about the funeral and life of singing legend Whitney Houston...Please don't get me wrong. I am and have been a big fan of Whitney Houston, BUT....... She is a singer who has won lots of awards and has sold a shitload of records.....Is it me or is this country just so caught up with celebrities ??? Gov Christie should be shot....I am a big fan and supporter of him, but this was just bullshit....Maybe I am old school, but flying a government flag at half mast is usually reserved for Military  and elected officials...I think this sucks.

        Then comes or came a five hour nationally televised Hollywood circus event .  Again, what the fuck is wrong with us ?  President Kennedy didn't get as much attention at his funeral.  Well almost anyway.... Hollywood A Lister's, invitation only guests, tons of police protection, loads of local tax money being spent.  Maybe it is just me, but as I get older I get more fed up with Bullshit.
        But Wait.....WTF is Jesse Jackson doing there ?  Enough is enough. I am surprised that Rev. Al Sharpton didn't attend and pick on some white dude who might have said something he didn't like...But maybe once again it is just me ? Maybe somehow the American people really did want to see this. Maybe they just thought it was another reality show.  Oh, wait a while....it was.

        The one person that was there and I was especially happy to see was Kevin Kostner.  He was probably more influential is the success of Whitney Houston than anyone other person.  He waited one year to film the Bodyguard because of a timing schedule with Whitney.  He also insisted on her singing one of her breakout songs his way...Good Job Kevin.  I guess that is why you are one of my favorite  actors.

        There is no doubt that Whitney Houston was a wonderful, talented singer and deserved the attention she received in the music world.  She has a great voice and will certainly be missed. But she is not the only one, nor will she be the last to take her own life, although maybe not intentionally.

    
I am more concerned about the drugs and the amount of time she had been doing them. I am concerned about the young people of America and around the world that are also using drugs and ruining their lives. I am concerned how out of control the use of drugs has become and the harm it is doing to so many people.  Maybe if this aspect of her death were brought up instead of hiding it as much as it has been we will be able to help some other people and maybe.....just maybe.....save some other lives.
      So don't get pissed off at me for me being pissed off at this over the top funeral and over the top media coverage... I would have rather seen five hours of Television on the perils of doing drugs. And for the record.....I did not watch the funeral, but merely saw some of it on the news.
       Only in America kids.....only in America

Normal ??????

This week has been so much fun listening to the media carry on about Charlie Sheen. All I know is that I only want to be him in my next life.  He works, he plays, and he does what he wants.  Shit, isn't that called the American Dream ??  Charlie is only one of the many Hollywood stars that have gotten DUI's, been arrested, or done some other half assed thing.  It is nothing new, and I can guarantee it will continue way after he is no longer news worthy.

        You gotta admit (if your a guy) that it is not that bad.  I would take those two any day of the week.  Dream, and the world dreams with you.  OK, so getting a million twitter followers in a 24 hour period is now in the Guinness Book of Records. That in itself makes you a winner.
     Let's take a trip down memory lane and just think about some of the other famous celebs that have been screwed up, in trouble with the law ............and on and on...... Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin way back when..........Michael Jackson liked little boys.........Marlon Brando had his causes and was a real rebel...........Kiefer Sutherland was and still is out of control...........Daniel Baldwin was and still is an asshole............Robert Downey Jr hit rock bottom before rising to the top, as did Mickey Rouke...........Paris Hilton and others have to thank sex videos for their success.......

     Heather Locklear liked to drink as did good old Nick Nolte pictured above...........Christina Aguiliera was recently arrested on charges of Public Intoxication.  I think she should have been arrested for not knowing the words of the National Anthem............  There is always Lindsay Lohan the queen of drugs........lets not forget Michael Vick for his great dog days that probably made him a better football player..........Of course there is always Tiger Woods...........The list is long and I can go on forever, but why bore you........Oh yes, I will leave you with one word................Snooki....................

     So , is all this nonsense just focused on Celebrity Stardom ??????    NO NO NO............This goes on everywhere.  It is is sports (which is also celebrity status), Politics, Finance, Religion, Business, Education, and everywhere else we might look.  I just bring up all this sensationalism because I love to watch the press make issues of everything.
     Bottom line is simple there is not a guy out there not jealous of Charlie Sheen........And guess what........There is not a girl out there not fantasizing about the same thing in reverse.  Like sharing her bed with Brad Pitt and another of the top sexy male stars of 2011. 
     I just can't wait to see who the next fuck-up will be and what the dear old press will say about him or her........Sorry, that with all the major world problems going on right now,  The press has seen fit to talk about Charlie and move Libya and Iraq to page 12.......only in the USA.

Not Seeing It

I have done something recently that was very difficult.  I took my son to court with the intention to Marchman Act him. For those who do not know what this is, it's a court ordered evaluation (Involuntary) for drugs etc. and then if needed, mandatory rehab.  This is serious because it is enforced by the law and there is no getting out of it once approved. It is probably the last ditch effort to get a family member clean when they are not capable of doing it themselves.
    Well, after the court date almost 2 weeks ago, the judge ordered my son to appear in this place (I will keep it unknown) for this mandatory evaluation. What a treat that is taking your own child to court.  Anyway, the case was scheduled for last Tuesday at one something in the afternoon.  I took him there because his car was impounded a while ago, and sold out from under him. But that is another story for another time.  We got there on time and was then told by the clerk that he was unable to be seen....What the Fuck??????  I showed this receptionist the court order that I had about 2 inches from her face and said....WHY NOT ........ She simply and quietly replied that she had not received the legal papers from the court and even of equal importance , the appointment was not confirmed by my son.  She pointed out in fine print, in about a # 2 font that was impossible to read, "All appointments must be confirmed 24 hours in advance". Naturally, I went ballistic and demanded to speak to her supervisor and anyone else who would listen to my ranting.  As it turned out , a very nice supervisor came out and explained to me this sort of thing happens all  the time and he would reschedule the appointment. The appointment was made for tomorrow, which was a week later then the original one.
     Being a good dad, (and knowing my son would never confirm it because of his laziness and drug use) I did just that early this morning.  What a surprise to find out they had still not received the court papers.  After much research and speaking to 385 different people on the phone, I managed to find one normal person who promised he would check it out and get to the bottom of the situation.........Yippee Ki Ay Motherfu**er..........About an hour later , the court clerk called me back and advised me that he had just faxed the information to the evaluation place........After a quick Whew.....I called back the evaluation girl to confirm the appointment.  She located the fax and confirmed the appointment, but then told me that my son needed to bring certain financial information that needed to be gotten from the local social security office. (This is due to a sliding scale system).
One would think this sort of information would have been available to my son the day we were in court.  Why is everything so fucked up in this country???? It just seems our entire system is messed up.  In fact, it is probably more messed up then my son is on drugs.
     Well, I can only hope there is no problem getting this information tomorrow, that the evaluation gets done on time,  that he is sent to rehab, and that he really gets better from this horrible disease of drug addiction.  I also realize the odds of that happening are not very good as shown by our system.  Oh well, as much as it hurts me, all I can do is try..........Come to think of it,  that is exactly what my son should be doing........Good Luck to me tomorrow fighting the system once again.

      

Seriously Serious

The other day I received a long TM from my son Z who I have not really been very in touch with this past year.  I had thrown him out of my house on several occasions and the last time was for real. What a terrible thing for a parent to have to do.  Talk about tough love ????  Someone should really talk about the constant pain a parent has whenever a child of his or hers has a problem. Well, this is something that has been going on for some time and gotten progressively worse.  Yes Drugs......You say to yourself  and ask yourself all the normal questions.  How could something like this ever happen?  There probably are no answers and it hits families of every type.  Z was very fortunate growing up.  This always bothered me because I was really never able to give my  girls (from another marriage)  what I gave him at those early years.  So the drug thing is what has been going on for probably longer than I ever knew.  He has gotten into trouble with the law (mostly somewhat minor), but it kept getting worse. 
     My crazy ex-wife has felt guilty about this for some time and that is probably the reason she has let him stay with her. Unfortunately, that too comes with consequences.  She would go nuts from time to time and imagine the worse.  They have problems constantly, but I still cannot let him live with me.  I had set up rules about housekeeping, working, sleeping, etc. that he was never able to abide by.  Might be cruel, and break my heart, but that is tough love....I gave and gave and gave and finally one day had nothing left to give.
     The ex-wife, S, always had 2 different personalities.  When we were married I thought it was somewhat fun for a while being married to , two different women.  I soon realized that I had made a double mistake.  I stayed married because of my son Z, as I know what my girls went through when I divorced their mother. ( especially my oldest daughter M). I didn't want to do the same to Z, although looking back I now realize it was a complete mistake.  But you can't change history.
     Anyway, these past few years have been horrible for me.  I would cringe at night if the phone rang late knowing it was probably something to do with Z.  On several occasions I was right but I don't want to get into that now.  He has slept in his car, with friends and bounced around like a gypsy instead of finishing school and working and hanging with the right people.  Thus the drugs.  I knew the addiction was getting worse and he refused any treatment , like most junkies do.
     Well, the other night I received a TM  where he actually admitted to the drugs and all the other crap that goes along with it.  He said he wanted to get clean and try to salvage what was left of our relationship and all that other stuff that goes along with that.  He also said he wanted this to happen by June 10th, which is his birthday.  The message was written beautifully and really made me cry.  I have read it over and over and truly want to believe everything in it. He said he is going to detox for 3 days after he is cleared from the hospital, and then will go to meetings and do whatever he has to for a complete recovery....Is it ever a complete recovery ?  I want to believe him, but can I ?  I want to hug and kiss him, but am so afraid because of so many disappointments in the past.  I feel like I am completely useless and hopeless at this point, but smart enough to know that he has to be the one to carry the burden.  He has to be the one to sacrifice and make it work. He has to be the one to prove to me that he can and will do this.
      It is such a horrible situation to go through for me.  Thank God for my daughter in California who I think is a rock and completely together.  I would like to think I was somewhat responsible for her being this way, but I know that is not the case.  I have another daughter living here in Florida that I am not very close with.  She is in the fairly tale business and very good at it.  Actually her life is based on fairy tales from some other planet.
     So here I am batting 1 for 3 and hoping the average will get better..  I have even told my son that I would go to Al-Anon meetings with him and he was happy about that.  I guess it is one of those things that you expect to happen to some other family, but never your own....

     I am lucky.  I did my share of drugs when I was younger, but was able to stop with no problem at all.  I only hope my son has some of that in him.

Drug Chains / Drug Stores / Drug Coupons / Drug Dealers

I hate big drug chains. They all have false advertisements . They all send out bullshit coupons. They all make you carry those stupid plastic cards for rebates that don't mean a thing.  They have super duper big specials to lure you in.  They sell food, candy, greeting cards, have photo departments, have automotive departments, school supplies, household items, outdoor furniture.  They have emergency health services at the bigger stores.  They sell everything.........Why?????????? Of course to get you in and have you walk to the back through jammed aisles and displays in the hopes of reaching......................................The RX department................Yes, the only and most profitable part of the store.  They will do anything to get you to their drug dealers.  They will give you $25.00 to move a prescription from another drug store.  They will pay shipping costs on anything they send to you.  They will gladly refill your RX automatically and have it ready for pick up , or send it to you.  Short of kissing your ass for your business, they will stop at nothing to fill that little Rx. your doctor wanted you to take.  They will smile, they will have a BP machine handy to take your pressure while you wait. Again.........it is profitable and the reason there is a major drug chain on every corner in your city.
       Goodbye to the small mom and pop drug stores that you grew up with where they knew your family and your name.  They are gone.  Forget about going into the new drug chains and have them remember your name....Ha, ha.......Just look at those bins filled with prescriptions waiting to be picked up.....
      I forgot why I am so pissed at drug chains ?  Now I know.  See those ads in the local paper, the handout when you enter the store, the e mail you recently received, the coupon you got on the receipt the last time you were there, the gigantic sale sign in the window????? Why do those prices seem so cheap compared to the same items in the super market or other local store????? Thought you would never ask.....The reason is simple....Say you saw a tube of Colgate tooth paste somewhere for $3.69 and now you see a super, dooooooper, managers special, or weekend special, or holiday special, or anniversary special, or whatever for $3.19 for the same item......Sounds pretty good to me.    BUT  WAIT.........look at the size. Look at the quantity in ounces, weight, size, or whatever. I guarantee you the tooth paste was 12 oz. tube, as opposed to a 14 or 16 oz. tube you saw in the other store. Guess it really is not the same item. Most of the time this will go unnoticed.  What a bunch of thieves.   For that big chains like CVS, Walgreens, etc. my special FU of the day.
     BTW. I own some CVS stock and its never been better........So to you drug dealers on the street....I hope this little bit  of merchandising advice helps you out.  (not really)
