Jim Monat. The leader of the Pack.

His father passed away this morning. I could hear the pain in his voice, but I didn’t need to hear anything. I’ve known him for over 20 years and I know the amount of love and respect he has for his father. I don’t need to hear or see him to know the pain and loss he is feeling right now. My heart is breaking with him right now so I’m doing what I know how. Pouring my feelings into the keystrokes and letting my heart guide the words that I type out. My physical body is in San Diego, CA, but once again my spirit, thoughts, and prayers are in Iowa with a brother that I know is in pain.

I knew his father and to say I have a great deal of respect for him is an extreme understatement. He was amazingly hard working, caring, and raised 6 kids that all turned out darn well. Well if you take Jeremy out of the equation…. I’m kidding of course although this isn’t a laughing matter. It is never easy to experience the loss of someone so great, someone so special and the leader of our family. As we all grow older it is something that we all will experience, but no matter how many times one goes through it, it is never easy. The only way to avoid it would be to seclude yourself in a box for your lifetime never getting close to anyone. This would be a million times sadder than losing someone close. For to feel grief we must first enjoy someone so much that it hurts when they are gone. Its those moments of joy and laughter that we must remember and not the unfair fact that sooner or later God brings all of his children home.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the Monat family for a very long time. Scott and I moved to Traer at the same time, both of us starting at a new school in 8th grade. We must have been a sight standing there looking around completely lost only to realize that we were the best looking guys in the whole school. How lucky for that small town of Traer to get both of us at the same time?? Yep 1991 was a very lucky year for that small town in the middle of Iowa. The Monat Family moved into town, and the McKinley family got one more bigger. Yes I reread that last sentence and I”m good with it.

They say that ones children is a true testament of their character and I can buy into that. If you have crappy kids then there is a chance you could have done somethings better. It is easy to point fingers when things go wrong, the government, the laws, the weather, the fact that you’re more worried about being friends with your children instead of being their parent. I can go on and on about some of the atrocities I see when it comes to parenting in the USA today, but that isn’t what I’m after with this particular blog. Instead I’d like to celebrate a man that did it right. Extremely right and in my humble opinion we are all better off because of it. Not only should we celebrate Jim Monat’s life, but we should all study it, learn from him, and certainly give the respect that is very clearly due.

I may have mentioned already that Scott and I have been friends for a very long time and even though I’m thousands of miles away, we don’t talk daily on the phone like a couple teenage girls, and the years go by without seeing one another; I can safely say we will be friends for the rest of our lives. When good people come into your life it is important to recognize them, hold on to them, and always appreciate them. We have been through a lot as friends and there comes a day when you realize that friendship isn’t a good enough word. You’ve become brothers that would do anything for one another no questions asked. I’m blessed to have multiple of these friends that I consider brothers. It doesn’t happen overnight and to have a friend such as this you must be one yourself. It is a two way street.

I have stories about Jim and things that happened growing up, but those are mine and I don’t want to share them today. Instead I want people to understand the great amount of respect I have for him. For to know his family is to love his family. Three boy and three girls made for a very busy household. I know all of the Monat kids, but I’m closest with Scott and in 2nd place comes Jeremy if it is a competition. Jeremy is younger so I pick on him a lot. Its fun and he likes it. Just ask him. You’ll have to because he doesn’t talk to me for some reason. I swear he likes the teasing though… Hmmmm maybe, nah he likes it.

To raise 6 kids during these times in the USA is not an easy task and to raise 6 wonderful children that are all productive members of society is leaving behind a legacy that anyone can be extremely proud of. If you didn’t get a chance to know Jim Monat then I’m very sorry as you definitely missed out on knowing someone that would have made you better just because. It is rare to find people like him in this world and I’d know because I’ve traveled all over the world and met tens of thousands of people.

So do yourself a favor and get to know the Monat kids as they are a direct reflection of Jim himself. Ask Scott to borrow money and tell him Bucky sent you. Ha ha ha. He is going to love that one. The world is a crazy place and I can say with certainty that God works in mysterious way. Taking this great man to be with him in heaven so early seems unfair and it certainly is when you look at it from the human side of things. We can never know what God’s plan is, but he has one and I’m not one to question it. I simply thank him for allowing me to know people like Jim and thank him for giving me the wisdom to appreciate them while I have the chance to.

Life is short. We all know that and if somehow you don’t know that yet, you had better learn real quick. Take the time, make the time, do whatever you can to let those close to you know that you love them. You don’t need a million dollars to say “I love you”, “I respect you”, “I’m a better person because I know you”. No these words are free and yet they can make the person hearing them feel like a million dollars. Don’t waste days feeling upset about this or that. You only get one life and sometimes sooner than later it can be over. Today is the day to say I’m sorry, to say I forgive you, to say I thank the Lord above I have you.
.
Much respect and love to the Monat family. They lost their leader of the pack today and he was a great one. The type of leader that is respected because he earns it. We are all better people by knowing you and by knowing the great kids that you raised. Thank you Jim Monat for being that leader and for raising kids that I’m proud to call brothers.

Mom Day. It is a great money making day for Hallmark, flower shops, and the liquor companies that supply the baby making super juice many of us owe our existence to. In turn though hopefully Mom Day makes a couple Mom’s out there feel pretty special and reminds them how much all of us good for nothing children really do love them. I have friends that give me shit for not sending cards, letters, or hell some times I don’t even call which causes some of them to go into cardiac arrest. I tell them all the same thing. I don’t need a day to remind me I love my Mom’s. That’s right Mom is plural in my life. I tell them how much they mean to me every time I talk to them. Twice a year.

I have many Mom’s and I’m thankful everyday for them, not just the one day the “man” tells me I have to be. For all you lame asses out there without the balls to do something creative I’ve written this blog. Print it out, sign your name, and take credit for my literary genius. You might want to delete this paragraph though. Otherwise do the same thing you did last year and use 3 minutes of your free time picking out that sweet Mom Day card at the liquor store while you buy a 12 pack of Busch Light and a pack of Camel lights. Nothing screams “I love you Mommy” like a liquor store greeting card.

I’m blessed to have my birth mother. This is the woman who carried my fat ass around for 9 months and then put up with me shitting myself for the first 5 years of my life. Took a while to learn how to use the toilet. Give me 8 beers and somehow I still seem to have issues… Screw you with your judging self. This is a nice Mom day blog, so stop messing it up. I told my Mom today in a text that I would call her in a bit. Like August. Ha ha true story. Then I told her that she made me, I like me, and I like her. I also said “I truly love her with all my heart and feel blessed she is my Mom.” That is a true story as well.

My parents didn’t stay together and it is what it is. It wasn’t always easy, but I was blessed with a second mom whom I call Mom, but for this blog I will call Mom Mary. She is an absolute Rock Star!! I told her this today in a text because she is my Rock and shines like a star. Cheesy — Maybe, but absolutely true. I couldn’t love her more like a Mom if you put a gun to my head and demanded it. God puts people in our lives for a reason and I’m a firm believer he knew what he was doing when he introduced me to Mom Mary. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of both my Moms for one reason or another, and I’m always sure to thank Big Bang Theory for putting them in my life.

I have many sisters that are now Mom’s and the blessings & heartaches I’ve seen them go through is the biggest roller coaster ride on the planet. Kissing owies, NOT helping my nephew up on roller blades, taking a beautiful and very missed niece for a “hell of a ride” down some “rapids”, and all the other countless/thankless jobs these angels do. Funny being on the inside when the kids run up to us as we are all drinking “adult beverages” to ask a dumbass I mean very important question. Mom always has the answer to make them feel like a genius and the most special kid in the world. Of course after they take off playing she makes a smart ass comment about how that one must have hit his/her head when she wasn’t looking. Ohh if I could only know what my Mom’s must have said after some of my dumbass questions, actions, and the car rides home from the police station….. Yep that is car “rides” keeping with the plural message here….

My sisters are all amazing mothers and they must have learned that skill from somewhere. There is no guidebook, there is no perfect way, just a simple answer in my opinion of loving a little person enough to do the best you can with what you have. Its amazing to have watched them grow up, make babies (I didn’t actually watch this part freak), and now mold the young minds that will be our future. We are screwed now that I think about it. Our Moms take care of us when we are little and it is up to us to look out for them when they grow older. I’ve told my Mom many times that she will never see the inside of an old folks home. She will stay with me locked in a closet while I spend her social security check on crack cocaine. Honesty is always the best policy she would tell me growing up.

Of course there is the mother of all that deserves all of our thanks. I’m talking about the ever nurturing mother Earth. Just kidding you fucking hippies. I’m writing this blog on a computer that I’ve charged with a gasoline generator while leaving my faucets run in my apartment being cooled with an air conditioner even though I’m not home. I just left the beach where I threw my cigarette butts in the ocean and used an old wine cork to kill a dolphin. I’m kidding of course. I kill dolphins with my bare hands.

I want to also thank all my friends Moms that put up with me, fed me, and showered me with motherly advice throughout the years. Not only did you raise some of the best friends a guy could ever ask for, but you always took the time to make me feel special and treat me as one of the family. You know who you are and to keep this blog under 20,000 words I won’t list you all. Just know that all those little things meant a lot like buying me beer, driving me to the free clinic, and of course letting me hook up with your daughter on the living room couch while you slept.

So to all the Mom’s out there I dedicate this blog today. Without you and your binge drinking many of us would not be here. Had you decided to make that short walk to the clinic many of us would not be here either. Thank you for being brave enough, patient enough to put up with our fathers (long enough to make a baby anyway), and loving enough to not drown my dumbass in a bathtub. God only knows how many times you must have thought about it.

Lastly to the mother of my children I say this. Thanks for the great times and sorry I never called. Ha ha. I’m just kidding the mother of my children will be graduating high school in a few short years and I’m very proud of her. By this time I’ll have my first million in the bank and be able to afford your gold digging ass just as God always intended.

I love you Mom, Mom Mary, and the rest of you Mommies out there. Especially the single Moms that I will visit later today in the champagne room. You make the world better, you are a hero to some little person out there, and every day you stay sober enough to read a bedtime story you prove there is a God, and most likely she is a very caring woman who made you in her image.

God bless the mothers!!!

Shutdown. Seems to be the only thing the news has to talk about. The polls say it is this sides fault or the other sides fault. The other day I wrote that I don’t give a fuck. That is mainly true. Only 17% of the government is actually shut down, but watching the news one would think we are at the brink of the whole world ending.

I find it silly and foolish that the left and right can’t seem to figure this out. I find it a failure that these idiots think its okay to act in such a way. Seeing the news of the fallen soldiers that arrived at Dover Air Force Base without family to be there because of the supposed shut down is complete bullshit.

Here is the deal. If I was president I would have gotten on Air Force One and picked those families up myself. These heroes gave the ultimate sacrifice for the left and right to even have this stupid fight. These men and women died so we can continue being “free”. NOTHING should ever get in the way of showing the proper amount of respect they are due. NOTHING. I have always been vocal on my views and I’m not a fan of Obama. Just my opinion, but this was a real chance to show leadership. To show respect. He is the commander in chief and needs to act like it.

This administration can spend money on having Air Force One fly around the statue of liberty & downtown New York one day for a fucking photo (yes I remember that), but somehow to not say “this is bullshit about not having money to get these families to Dover as promised” is a failure on his part. I believe Obama is a very smart man, but he missed the boat on this one. Can you imagine the press if he had simply done the right thing in this case???

My disdain does not stop with Obama. With all the multi-millionaires in congress anyone of them could have arranged it, but instead they are too busy playing politics to simply do the right thing. Makes me sick. We the people are now becoming We the suckers. Why can’t common sense get through to these elected individuals?? Again I’m not simply taking shots at the president, but he is at the top and remember he asked for the job.

It won’t change until we all learn to stand together and stop letting the games of politics pull us apart. I know lots of people that have different views from mine and I’m guilty of being a closed minded ass at times. I don’t pretend to have the answers, I simply write to open the dialogue. We can’t fix anything unless we talk about it reasonably.

I just want to say if I was of the means and I was John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John McCain, or even Obama; I would have gotten on my private jet and picked up the families of the fallen heroes and made sure they were there to meet their lost loved ones. No cameras. No media. No speeches. Just me doing the right thing because in my opinion that is what needs to be done.

In the end after the media blew the story up for 48 hours and private money came in to do the right thing. I say “Too little, Too late” Shame on all of them.

P.S. Pass this on if you feel it is time we stand as one people and not LEFT, RIGHT, or MIDDLE. We are Americans damn it. Time we acted like it. All of us.

Hump Day!! That camel commercial for Geico is awesome, annoying as fuck, but awesome all the same. Today is special and I’m going to ask you why?? Government shut down?? Nope. Fknbucky blog day?? Nope. Because I live in San Diego and you don’t?? Kind of. Here is the real answer. Today is special because every day you wake up is special. Blah blah right. You won’t get the meaning of life with blah blah.

Anyone who has been on this planet for any length of time has experienced the loss of someone. This gives us all the lesson that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Never. I wish it was. I wish I could bring some of them back and shake them telling them it isn’t worth it to take those drugs, drive wasted, and any number of the other reasons we lose special peoples. Wishing is great and has a place, but only so often and not for very long.

When I was young I knew everything. If I could go back I’d kick my 19 year old self’s ass. I’d also give him a pack of condoms and tell him to stay away from girls named Gwen. Ha ha. I did some really stupid things, but luckily for me, I was taught by my parents & family to learn from those things. Sometimes it took 19-20 times to learn fully, but I finally turned 21 so who’s counting how many possessions I had underage.

Once again just because I was a fucking moron does not give anyone an excuse today. Do what you want, but remember you have to take responsibility for it. YOU. YOU. YOU. Not your parents, TV, a movie, just plain YOU. The only real thing your parents should teach you is to make decisions and then take responsibility for them. Hopefully they tell you to make good decisions, but hey not all parents make good decisions. They made you didn’t they. Ouch.

Where am I going today?? To the titty bar to support single Moms like I do every Hump day. Thought you knew. Oh yeah where am I going with the blog… Well this picture at the top got me thinking. Something all of us should do more often, but why think when you can drink your face off. Exactly.

So the picture up top really is pretty awesome. How many of us can truthfully say those two people would respect each other. I don’t believe a good life is measured by money, stuff, social status, how many celebrities you know, or any of that BS. It is measured simply by the size of your cock or boobs. Or both if you, well, lets not go there. Ha ha.

The quality of life you live is measured by how many others you help throughout their lives. Did you take the time to listen, give guidance, learn from your mistakes so that guidance is worth a shit, and sleep with as many women as possible??? Just kidding there is no need to listen to others. Wasted days = wasted opportunities and both are a real travesty.

There is no point in being upset about decisions you made in the past. It will make no difference to your future. You can however work every single day moving forward to make sure the person you become now, will be able to look the person you should have became in the eye. Hence the reason why today is special, it can certainly be the day you say “I’m going to do it.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you don’t like where you work, get a new education and get a new career. If you don’t like where you live, move. And most of all don’t be afraid of what people think. Personally I think everyone but me is a fucking idiot so this one is easy for me. Write a blog, flip the world off, give homeless people hugs, love whomever the fuck you want, and NEVER take it all to seriously. Life is short, live yours to the fullest, and leave lasting wonderful impressions on everyone around you.

The government is shut down. I have 3 words for you. Who givesa fuck?? That is right givesa is a word where I’m from and actually thats not true, I just made it up. If you needed the last 5 days to realize our government is fucked up, then you should walk outside, and beat the shit out of yourself with a stick. Because a stick causes more pain.

I drove by the Miramar air base today and the AIR SHOW is canceled due to the government shut down. Oh No. The horror. Shit should have shut down 6 years ago. 17 trillion in debt. When does that start to hurt?? Obama said “For decades the congress has effortlessly increased the debt ceiling and funded government.” Seriously?? Even the guys at VISA most likely look at the CEO one day and say look Billy pay your fucking bill. Just because your president doesn’t mean you get a blank check. Or am I missing something here?? By the way I don’t givea shit about Obamacare either.

Let it be shut down. Send the military home. This is a great fucking plan. A bunch of people trained to kick ass with nothing but time on their hands. Better yet send them to Washington DC. I hear they have a gang problem there. 2 birds 1 stone. That’s right because I’m a Dick and I care about your opinion just about as much as, nope not at all. Stick a fork in it, it is done. I hope they all get kicked out of office. Here is what I hope happens — THE BUSINESS AS USUAL — is over you bloated old fucks.

Here is an example that will make more sense as I had to think this thru for myself. For years and years I binge drank while doing cocaine because it was fun. Then I knew if I didn’t stop I would fucking die. Get the point. Of course not you’re still pointing your index finger at your second cousin whom you call wifey saying “he stopped”?? Talk to Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and some of the others that never figured out how to listen to Nancy Reagan. Wait was she after?? Oh who givesa?? Still not seeing the point are you. Stop is the key word here.

Harry Reid wants little kids with cancer to die. John B is a cry baby. Sandra Bullock is lost in space. I knew that when she married into the James Gang. Yep tattoos make you an asshole. I was just born one, I need no ink. Screw the media, screw the shut down, and most of all screw the politicians. They created this and then they say “the people have to suffer till we fix it.” What the fuck you say?? Maybe that whole “get out & vote” thing should have an * that says “get educated and then vote you fucking hippie.”

Just one mans humble opinion.

*No hippies were physically assaulted in writing this blog. Although some of us really want to give them some soap.

A man is arrested for threatening to beat children with a hammer??  That shit was the norm when I was a kid.  If my parents or one of their friends didn’t threaten me with serious violence, my day wasn’t fulfilled.  This is a perfect example of the issues we face today.  Kids deserve to be beaten as much as possible.  Save society, beat the shit out of a child today!  I’m going to make bumper stickers.

So why would I make such a statement??  Because I hate children you dumbass. They smell, cost money, and never shut up.  Sounds like an Ex I had also. Hmmm.   Maybe I should stop dating high school girls.  I said “maybe”, don’t judge me.  Okay back on the point which is parents suck just as much as their shitty kids. Take responsibility for your future inmate and understand it is your fault the little fuckers are going to be living in government provided housing for 20 to life because you’re a lazy piece of shit that doesn’t know how to cover up captain winky. Boom!!

So this guy Jesse Daniels caught 4 kids smashing the shit out of his father in laws house that was being renovated.  They wrote derogatory words towards women on the walls with paint.  What’s the problem there Bucky??  It wasn’t their paint dipshit.  I love calling women whores as much as the next 9 year old, but please provide your own paint.  These little geniuses also smashed holes in the walls, windows, and generally fucked some stuff up.  How bad could it be Bucky??  Just a bit shy of $50,000 so what’s the big deal.

So this guy catches the bastards in a room with a closet.  Puts them in the closet and tells them they have to wait for the police.  Oh he took a hammer from one of them also.  Oops I forgot he left a “mark” on one kids neck also.  A fucking mark???  $50,000??  He should have beheaded the little waste of sperm + egg.  Locked in a closet??  Fuck thousands of gay people do this willingly everyday and we don’t have to hear about it.  Fuck off you were thinking it.

So the “parents” of the little future felons complained to the police that the man catching their kids committing a CRIME was too hard on them.  The police, which should have pulled a billy club and beat the shit out of the complaining parents; decided to arrest Jesse.  WTF am I missing???  My old man would have thanked the man for kicking my ass and then really beat the shit out of me once we got home.  Guess what it worked too.  Now I just write fucked up things in this blog and keep all my plots to kill others a secret.  Wait…

Scaring the shit out of these kids is exactly what they need.  What’s funny (not really) is 4 years from now I’ll be watching an episode of scared straight on A & E and these assholes will be on it.  The parents sitting there saying “I don’t know what happened, he was such a good boy”.  He was born to parents with no backbone you dumb fuck.  Lots of colorful language today, but this one has me spitting nails.

Here is how you solve this one.  Kill those fucking kids.  Make sure their parents can never reproduce again.  And lastly throw this Jesse Daniels guy a fucking parade for being a person with a set of balls.

I wrote this months ago, but never posted it.

This just made me laugh.

Due to spending the last week on EST I’m up early this Saturday morning.  Something special about having a couple hours in the AM to reflect on where things are going and write out a very overdue blog.   Of course I have the TV on because sitting in silence is weird to me.  Nothing like perving out watching infomercials about some crap ass work out machine that I will never buy.  Just kidding I haven’t done that since yesterday.

I like to laugh, tell jokes, and funny stories just because it makes life fun.  Ever been around someone who complains all the time??  They suck.  Ever been around someone that laughs and enjoys life??  It’s awesome.  Seems like a no brainer to me. I’ve gotten wiser in my years and pay more attention to current events, but I still like to laugh.

The more of your rights, money, and time you give up, the less you are in control of your own destiny. Do these people really think they are doing something good for us??  Possibly, but the fact remains the more they try to fix it, the more they screw it up.  In truth I’m watching the History channel and the story of Al Capone and the St. Valentine’s Day massacre.  That’s right people have used guns for a really long time to kill other people that piss them off.

We do not have a gun problem in America.  We do not have a violence problem in America.  We don’t have video game and movie problem in America.  What we do have is a moral decay of society problem in America.  The more we deny that people are fucked up and have severe mental illnesses we will see disgusting acts like the one committed in Conneticutt.

Watching the history channel criminals back in the day had way better weapons than we do now, but EVEN they had a respect for innocence.  They only killed cops, other gangsters, and dipshits that ran their mouth in the bar.  I know killing cops and gangsters is  wrong, but people that run their mouth deserve a smack down with Mr. Colt 45.

Passing laws that do absolutely nothing to curb violence will not solve our problems.  We already outlawed the fully automatic Tommy Gun and did that stop bad things from happening.  The battle between good and evil is as old as the earth itself.  There has always been bad shit and NO MATTER what your saviors in Washington DC do there will continue to be bad things that happen.  I’m sorry, but it is true.

What we can’t do is keep going down this insane path of giving up our freedoms for a fake feeling of safety.  Have you fucking flown lately??  I get molested for 15 minutes EVERY time going through security by people that might have a high school diploma.  It is never the same pat down and simply the biggest intrusion to personal space ever.  They might as well put lipstick on me, jam a large stick in my ass, and call me wasted every Saturday night for a month. That’s right “It’s fucked up” is the point.

So all of you lobbying for more control remember what you asking for.  Criminals don’t follow laws.  You are simply asking for more control over yourself and that is a very dangerous thing.  Remember it will do NOTHING to stop awful things from happening.  I don’t know why bad things happen, but I am realistic enough to know they will happen again regardless of what you do.

I don’t have the answers.  I just know what doesn’t work.  The assault weapons ban that Clinton enacted during his presidency did absolutely NOTHING to stop violence.  The extremely strict gun laws in Chicago do nothing to stop violence there.  You want to stop violence??  Stop raising babies without fathers. Stop taking religion out of everyone’s life.  Just because you don’t need Jesus to be a better person doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t as well. You don’t think about them, because its all about YOU.

Stop blaming “things” for bad shit.  It is a part of life just as breathing.  Same as the good that comes from tragedy.  Tragedy gives us the shining moments to overcome, reach out, get closer, and show the good in humanity.  Dwell on that.
