Hoodies and shit

So over the past week or so I've seen an increasing number of folks posting shit about Treyvon Martin and George Zimmerman.  I've vaguely followed the case since I first heard about it, and I know there's been

1.) A whole lot of  continually emerging details over A. Zimmerman's nationality B. Treyvon's portrayal as an innocent party in this whole affair (old pictures of him as a fresh faced youngster, etc.) C. whether or not Treyvon was the initial aggressor or not.

2.) A separate case recently in which a kid was set on fire, and told "you get what you deserve white boy."

3.) A massive spike in the sale of Skittles, and probably hoodies too, but most folks already own those.

4.) Yet another ridiculously stupid thing out of Geraldo's mouth.

I'm not really here to talk about all of that specifically though. 

What I find disgusting and morbid is people using it to push politics and ( to a slightly lesser degree) underhanded racism. I mean, can we not all agree that children being shot and set on fire is a fucking tragedy without having to put a spin on it?  Whether it's "oh here's what the liberal media doesn't want you to see, Treyvon was expelled for weed and he really looked more like a thug than he did in that picture his family released," or "This white kid was set on fire for being white, where's his media firestorm (couldn't help it, sorry)"  Yeah, racism still exists, it's a sad yet shittily true fact.  Yeah, race probably played a part in why Treyvon was shot (although neither you nor I know what Zimmerman was thinking, and I highly doubt he'll be talking about it publicly any time soon.) Yeah racism certainly was why that poor kid was set on fire.  That being said does posting snarky shit on facebook about either kid make them any less dead or burnt?  

I dunno man, what happened to those kids is fucking tragic, and using tragedy to push politics is pretty gross.  Also seriously how is Geraldo allowed to be on tv anymore?

I apologize for nothing!

So let me first off apologize for our lack Of updates. Scratch that, we got busy, y'alls can suffer goddamn you! Let me second (first if you exclude the first apology that I just scratched) apologize for the typos that will abound in this post. I'm writing this on my phone, in bed, with a snoring girlfriend and two dogs who are far more energetic than they should be at 4:30.
I dunno man, what topics need broached here? I don't really have anything grand and profound to say about religion, whatever gets you to bed at night is a ok with this fella.
Politics? Meh, I think no matter how well intentioned a candidate is, their hand get pretty well tied by how the government works, that no one is really capable of changing shit.
No I think the only logical thing for me to talk about is something I feel pretty passionate about, and that my friends is what annoys me at work(if you don't know, I'm a bartender/server.)
1.) Snapping and or whistling at me. I'm not a dog, and this should be common sense. If you don't believe me, try doing it to your accountant or lawyer and see what reaction you get.
2.) Interrupting me. That one's pretty common sense actually, no one likes being interrupted, no one.
3.) Throwing money at me. Conterintuative, I know. Most People would just love having cash thrown at them, right? Well if I'm standing right in front of you, no, it's actually kind of demeaning that you would decide to bypass handing me your cash and instead throw it in front of me.
4.) Ordering something from the bar and walking away, giving no indication where I should bring said item out to. Self explanitory, yes?
5.) Overly simplifying your credit card tab. Let's say your name is Bryan Adams. When I ask for the name on your tab, if you say "Bryan, it's a blue chase card." you are a dick. It's more than possible that there's more than one Bryan, and you're a stupid stupid man for not thinking of that. Just giving your last name is better than that, but the full name is ideal really.
6.) When you're a dick. Stop being dicks, you know who you are.
-shuttup, shuttup all of you, goddamnit I'm busy, bring me waffles!-
