Unions had their place in this world... but not anymore! I get so frustrated with "Union Labor" rules. So Damn FRUSTRATED!
I want to show a few films at our Convention... I have to use union labor to put up the screen. okay, I can (almost) understand that. But, to plug in a DVD player... really. What fucks! Sorry sir, only our hands can touch that... Bullshit! What if I hire a guy to do that, then they would be putting "my" guy out of work.
Okay, now for the union "shit" part... we are going to be showing 3 movies and 2 slide show. so I have to have a union employee stand there for 8 hours to push play 3 times. Fuck them. I have to pay $30 dollars an hour for something I can train a monkey to do. I understand "skilled labor" but, I have watched some of these guys work. Trained monkey!
The worst part... there is nothing I can do about it.. NOTHING.
Please mister Wyatt, if you want to make your show better.. you need to bend over and take this telephone pole up your ass, and thank you for doing so. Oh, and we forgot the lubricant.
I have lots of dealing with union strong arm in the past, I was once told I had to pay 6000 to move 3 pallets 100 feet. Fuck that, I told them I would pay it if he gave the fork lift driver all the money, since he was doing all the work.
A bunch of Crooks and Thieves. You can quote me on that.
I am being FUCKED by "union labor" and there is nothing I can do about it. Fucked, Fucked.... FUCKED!
Fuckin, son-of-a-Bithch Cunts!
Sorry, I had to vent! Have a good day!
PS(I don't "dis-like" union employees, just unions themselves)

Gay Should Never get Married! read on...
That's right, I said it... Gays should never get married, Blacks should sit in the back of the bus and have their own drinking faucet... The Indians need to stay on the reservation... The Japanese concentration camps were necessary ... There I said it.
And Civil rights should never have happened. Why should women have the vote, really, why?
Okay, now you know how I really feel. How ridiculous this sounds. I had a conversation with a friend yesterday , whom I won't mention to protect his stupidity, who brought up the the gay marriage thing (as he called it). I told him how silly it was, but he was all for the ban on it. And try to tell me why he thought "they" shouldn't marry, and the sanctity of marriage is that of a "man and woman", and even quoted the "teaching the kids that its okay in school" stuff.
But what about basic equal rights?, I asked him... he said, that was different.
... Different? DIFFERENT! What's the differents between that and anything else I mentioned above.
The mormon church spent a hell of a lot of money scaring people into thinking like him, a Hell of a Lot of Money! This, as far as I am concerned, is not an issue for the "church" to decide. It is a matter of "state".
Marriage, I am a big fan of it, I have been Very Happily married for almost 21 years now, and I mean very happy.
Now I think the argument "well, why can't I marry my dog, then" is pretty stupid. But, I think that piece of paper is pretty important sometimes. Actually, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I am getting so sick of the indifference and prejudice in this country (and world). I know this is an old conversation, but, when are we going to grow up.
If anyone reading this is is gay, and wants to get married... I am ordained and would gladly perform the wedding (even if your not gay... I can do it).
Notice I didn't throw God into this... (wait, I am doing this now), I don't think he would mind people being happy, and a good Christian doesn't have to like it, but, a proper Christian should have a "that's your thing" attitude.

He Came Thru For me ... Again!
Well, I don't usually talk Religion, but, for those who don't know... I believe.
I grew up going to church, as did almost everyone I know, some kept their faith, some lost it... and some went.. how do I say this nice... a little too overboard for even my taste. I am and have always been a "more power to ya" kind of person for whatever you choose to believe.
Now, getting to why I am writing this...
Last week, my computer took a nose dive into the realm of "fried city". I uploaded a windows update (doing exactly what I was supposed to do), and it restarted itself... then... FRIED! I took it in to be checked and the technician showed me the reason why, a recall on a specific chip I had, and I never got the recall. F*#$&n HP and Best Buy.
Well I make all my "Internet" sales with that computer (Ebay and Turbo Lister aren't "Mac" compatible yet), and my Printer and scanned don't have an available "driver" so unless I buy all that new, I need my PC. Well the tech told me for 150.00 in labor, 450.00 for a new motherboard and 150 to 200 for transferring both hard drives, he could fix it (750 to 800 dollars, and it's still an old computer), or for 1200, they could build me a new one, transfer everything, and have a 5 year (yes 5 years, since they are the manufacturer) warrantee.
Well, "have a nice day" to me. Where am I going to get 1200.00, let alone 800 to fix the old one. I talked... he listened.
I did a show this weekend, very low expenses, and had a lot of fun. Terry O'Neals "Yorba linda" show. well, I brought magazines instead of my normal stock... didn't know how I would do, didn't expect much. Thing is, everyone has the same comics as me at that show, I wanted to try something different. Well, the show went well. I was able to make almost EXACTLY enough to cover my expenses and get 1200.00. Not any extra, I can do that later. But, exactly what I needed to make it. I can't make money without that computer.
Here is what I am getting at. Over the past 20+ years, I can't count how many times we were on the verge of dispair, and ... POW! ... I would have a show go better than normal, I would get a call asking if I still have something, Someone would call and ask for a hand full of framing... or a tax check comes in.. or a rebate we forgot about. But, what I'm getting at is this. Thank You GOD! You have always come thru for me, and I try to return the favor (Karma) as best I can in how I live my life.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I couldn't do this without you.
