I'm sorry but can't Al Sharpton get a fucking job like everyone else and just shut the fuck up? He is trying to fill some big shoes....he thinks he is another Martin Luther King. He never will be. King was a very intelligent person who saw a need for all humans to be treated with respect. He wanted blacks and whites to realize we are all human and we are all on this planet together. Sharprton is actually undoing all that by spewing either obvious or overblown information. Sharpton is ludicrous...he has nothing revolutionary to say and all he does is rile up racism. He is useless...he needs to sit down and enjoy a nice hot cup of Shut the Fuck Up.

::Mock Rant::
you heard of it here first.
Mock Rant....if you know me then you have probably seen me mock rant. Its when I rant to someone else out loud about something that is bothering me within earshot of the bother-er or someone in control of said bother. For instance...today I got up at the ass crack of dawn to take my car in for an inspection, alignment, break pad change and tire rotation. I was the second person there when the place opened. Despite my dragging my fat ass out of bed and sucking up the fact this was going to cost me money I absolutely do not have....I wound up sitting there for about six hours. My blood sugar hit rock bottom and I had seen all the upper class assholes with their shiny Lexie and BMW's come in and leave. But me and some Asian kid were sitting there for hours. Finally after he and I complained to each other about how badly this is fucking up our plans for the day I got on the phone with my mother.
"yeah, I'm still here....waiting"
"What's being done to your car"
"Apparently its being taken apart and put back together again because I have been here six hours" A manager was walking by and gave a quick side shot. So I kept it up. "I could change these stupid breaks in two hours but the guys here apparently are having an issue" Another manager over hears this.
"Go ask how long it's going to take.."
"You know what....everyone with the shiny Lexus and Beamers are in and out of here in no time but the poor girl with the blue collar redneck pick up has to wait 6 hours" Some upper class guy who was arguing with his spoiled daughter for messing up the front end of her handed to her car turned to me abruptly (two for one...metal....voiced aggravation and insulted a bourgeois!!) with a look of shock.
"Stop...you better keep quiet..." One of the managers scurried to the garage. I watched him through the window of the waiting room as he grabbed my work ticket from the mechanic.
"No, if you have money you get taken care of...if you are ghetto poor you have to wait while they get the royal treatment"
"Skadi, keep quiet...you are going to get into a fight..."
"So what....I don't care...my hypoglycemia is raging because I have not eaten all day because I have to sit here and wait while the upper class go ahead of me?? Must be nice to be wealthy"
Mr. Rich turned back around and just stared straight ahead.
The manager came back up from the garage area with a forced smile. "Okay, you are just about done"
He worked up the bill (1200$!!!) and handed it to me. "Thank you for your patience" I just gave him a look like "who are you kidding?" We both new someone fucked up or fucked off...either way..it took way too long for the truck to get done....I'm not an air head when it comes to cars like the rich daddy's girl in the waiting room. I have seen inspections done-I know hoe long they take, I have seen brake changes-in fact an ex's brother showed me how to change them years ago, I know how long an alignment takes...her camber was screwed but not that screwed. All of that put together should not have taken six and half hours...four hours yes...five maybe...not six and a half.
So there you have it...the mock rant...when you don't have the balls to start shit directly. A personal trademark of mine...I am not sure if I am proud of it or not....I think its another example of my passive aggressive tendencies.
I'm bored. I was supposed to go out tonight and I was really looking forward to it but in light of the fact that I was up at dawn for my car I am exhausted and the last thing I need is to fall asleep behind the wheel or something on the way home from a club....especially after 1200 bucks in repairs. So, I'm just sitting here bored stupid waiting to get tired enough to head to bed.

I hate my neighborhood. First off no one can get out of a parking lot to save their lives...or me time for that matter. I'm on line for coffee and I see two women ahead of me in mink coats....I had to bite my tongue so hard I tasted blood. All I could picture was that PETA footage where they skinned a raccoon alive at a fur farm and threw the skinless body, suffereing and exposed onto a pile of more skinless dying racoons...the worst was when the skinless face lifted up to look at the camera and you saw the excruciating pain in it's eyes. So this scene was running through my mind while I wondered how many times that scenario played out so these rich whores can keep warm.
I was behind one of them as we left the parking lot. She had a nice new Infiniti with a plate the read luv2spnd. I was very tempted to rail right into the back of her shiny new car with my piece o crap blue collar chevy pick up. Unfortunately you can't fit "Luvs2slaminsbkrchsltscr".
Stop the fur trade industry...we have tons of toasty warm fabrics taken humanely from sheep farms.

Not only is there some really terrific information on here regarding puppy mills and buying dogs from pet stores...there are also some pictures taken during an undercover investigation of some mills. Take a look at them and remember them the next time you walk into a pat store that sells puppies. Buying one of these pet store dogs under the pretense of "rescue" is only making an empty space for a new victim....we need to hit them in their wallets to make them stop this disgusting market.

All human activity is behaviour. Through the centuries we have developed codes of conduct, these become laid down by the society, by the culture, in which we live, and by the so-called saints and religious teachers; this code or pattern, this norm of behaviour, becomes traditional and automatic, that is, mechanical. - J. Krishnamurti

Yup, here is another one of my infamous letters fighting cruelty to canines. I can't help it. This one is to someone on About.com who write for the AboutDogs section. She provides so much info to inform people about what is best for their dogs and meanwhile there will be an ad for puppies online or whatever beneath the article. Today I was reading an article on the site about the Lancaster puppy mills (yeah...the religious Amish are responsible for the abuse and genetic degradation of god's creatures....now ask me why I am no longer christian?). Right beneath the article is an ad for puppies on LiveDeal.com...a site that has ignored many of my emails regarding the mass market of unscreened puppy sales. If just one of my emails could change any aspect I would be greatful and finally feel accomplished....until them....I type like an insane dog lady activist...so be it. LOL
I love the articles you have on your site, especially the ones regarding puppy mills. As a trainer I have seen many pet store dogs with issues and I have had to explain to their owners why their dogs have such issues. Sometimes they are angry at me, sometimes at the pet store, sometimes they just insist that their dog is AKC registered (we know that makes no difference) I do have a bit of a grievance regarding your articles on About.com and I don't know if you have the power to do anything about it.
I was reading the article about puppy mills and right beneath your article is an ad for puppies on livedeal.com. I don't know if you have ever been on livedeal.com but essentially it is backyard breeders and mills selling puppies. Some are occasionally 'free to a good home' which is just as bad because laboratories and dog fighters in need of bait dogs can easily obtain these poor puppies for abusive purposes. Again, I don't know if you have any say in what ads are put beneath your articles but I think you should know they are contradictory to the good work you are trying to accomplish.
Thank you for your time,

I was in my usual Saturday morning meditation...which is actually just me hanging out with Lo on the couch watching movies. I hit channel 14 which as most of you in the area know is the Cable Guide. What i found hysterical was the fact that as the channel guide scrolls...it includes channel 14 on the listing...I guess thats for the idiot who turns to the Cable Guide channel to find out what channel the cable guide is on.
