About Me

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. " ~ Jack Kerouac

Narcissism.

I'm going the super honest "I know this is over the top but at least I know it's over the top" route. Yeh. It's a joke amongst my friends and family because it's so absurd. While I recognize that, of ...

McCains temper preceded Vietnam. He also says "I hate the gooks"

Obviously these are not isolated accounts. I don’t want a president with a temper to continue on with the damage that America has done in the world since Bush was elected. I don’t want a p...

Hillary Clinton? NO WAY! Why? Read here.

This blog makes me feel so preachy. I guess I feel that I HAVE to post something because our country is in despair. I do not mind opposing views, nor do I mind being corrected if I am mistaken. I am n...

Stern bird-lipped bobble-headed nodder in agreement.

First day of criminology class, I walk into the room and to make sure I'm in the right class, I ask someone that I walk by. This stern-faced pucker-lipped woman looked at me as if I should not even be...
