Happy New Year

This New Year has got to be better than last year. Just the fact that God didn't drop a space rock, the size of Texas on us as December 21st 2012closed is proof enough that the Mayan Doom believers were idiots to think was going to end.

In the shadow of yesterday's heinous act of what can only be described as an iniquitous minded act directed to the innocents that are now in Heaven with God; my and I'm sure everyone else's heart is broken to what must be the ultimate sadness a human soul can fathom, especially now in the light of the celebration of the Holy Holidays. Human history is a seemingly endless succession of bloody conflicts, hatred, oppression, sorrow  and devastating turmoil. Yet, inexplicably, in the light of astonishing intellectual and technological advancement, Man's progress has been halted once again in all of these behaviors by still indulging the primitive beast within to kill innocents by the scores by what ever means is available be-it bombs, guns, automobiles, hi-jacketed air planes, etc. for the simple reason that he can. 

Make note however and do not forget my friends, that hundreds of innocent children and their families are killed every week in our country by domestic quarrels, terrorism &  drivers under the influence. These drivers with a history of DUI's are allowed to continue driving by the very laws set down to protect us. Where is all the lucidity & common sense we as twenty-first century denizens are supposed to have? My most profound condolences to all those grieving their losses.

Someone at Adidas thought it would be cute to have shackles on their sneakers. Then some dumb-asses thought these "Adidas Slave-Chain Sneakers" were hurtful and insensitive towards their feelings! Poor babies!

I think its about time someone put real shackles on sneakers to hobble some of these irresponsible consumer morons' screaming kids that are running around super markets destroying food products in the refrigerated meat bins and driving everyone in the store crazy (except for their tuned-out parents). 

In the time wasted by these idiots to post their hurt feelings on the net - 3 - 5 American Military Service personnel have either been killed of severely injured, another family in this country went without a meal, an innocent child was hurt or killed in a house fire; - and these imbeciles are raging and moaning over some ridiculous toy fad shoes ? ...Really?

Sometime next week I'll be taking this yacht out on its first ever sea trials since being built here in San Antonio. Moored at a Kemah marina, it is for sale at the present time.

WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT

ADT/Brinks home security and DeLonghi makers of coffee makers have now taken first place in my Hall of Shame for the worst customer support on the planet.

You have to wonder sometimes how people still have their respective jobs when clearly they are way-under qualified for the position. Regardless the lowest of low quality of consumer interaction (in the kindest of words) with the headphone donned, out-sourced, "Cracker-Jack", live tele-support technicians named Bob, who could give a flying-@^*# about your issue with their miserable corporation; or the woefully under qualified Wal-Mart head cashier with their "scrunchie" wrist band of keys get on a "Hitler" trip over a simple exchange of $25.00 worth of goods - really? - while innocent lives are being taken at schools all over the world and a current administration who's already surpassed the prior administration's deficit spending by billions-plus/ oh don't get me started...

Planet earth is careening out of control because in-part to the extensive unbalance of defective chromosomes in out gene pool.  I guess I got up grumpy this morning! Bah, hum-bug!
