Try Again

A quickie for you today. Just in time for lunch so we can even call it a Nooner. Ahhh my juvenile sense of humor knows no bounds and if you can’t smile a bit at some nonsense you’re doing life wrong. I have an amazing dog named Annabel for those of you that live in a cave and never read FknBucky or listen to the podcast. She is a border collie and simply awesome. She picks things up for me and fetches pretty much anything I ask her too including my phone, wallet, and keys when I drop them or can’t find them. I’m proud of that actually, it took a lot of work and patience, but I’m not afraid of work and have no patience. Yeah I meant to say it like that.

If this is a quickie get to the point Bucky. Okay, good call. My border collie has energy forever. Never tired. We play frisbee for 1.5-3 hours a day. Every freaking day. It is challenging sometimes, but I always think, there will be a day when I will wish for just one more frisbee session and on that day I’ll smile knowing I made the most of every single day I had. Okay back on point. Annie will try to play like 50 times a day. If I roll away from my desk for only a moment she takes her shot and runs to me with a ball, toy, or frisbee almost instantly. When I wake up the first thing I see is a tennis ball in my face with hopeful eyes saying “Let’s eff’ing GO!”

47 times a day I say “no, not now, get off me, can’t you see I’m working!” Sounds rough huh? Reality is I can’t play fetch 24/7 even if I wanted to. Doesn’t stop her from trying. Somedays I only say no 42 times meaning she gets 8 play sessions. She gets 2 no matter what everyday day in case you wondered. Sometimes I’ll play for 2-3 min and then stop, but this is harder because it gets her all riled up only to tell her just kidding and I go back to work. You’d think this would deter her from asking so much. Nope.

She never stops trying. I envy it. No matter how many times I say no, she will continue to try again. Sometimes she will leave a tennis ball on the end of my bed and stare at it for hours while I’m working. I’ll finally cave and start throwing it out of sheer admiration. That type of commitment eventually must be rewarded. I think about this in my own life and when I hit a roadblock or get told no, I think “what would Annie do?” Lay down, take a break, lick herself a while, and then try again. I personally skip the 3rd one, but you be you.

That is just frisbee Bucky. So is everything. A $.04 deal is no different than a 4 million deal. Same everything. You just buy a bigger toy with your commission is the only difference. So relax. Enjoy the moment. Try. Then try again. Then try again. Guess what. Try again. Try again. Let the past failures go. Learn the lesson and then forget it. Think Annie thinks about the last 472 days I said “get out of my face” when I wake up or does she think “today is the day!”

Make today the day. Stop crying about the past. Forget and do something new today. Try again.

Mexican Monday is not a thing, YET….

Black Friday. I don’t participate. I go out on White Wednesday. Can you imagine the uproar if that happened??? Oh well. At least we can all agree Mexican Monday can never be allowed to exist. For obvious reasons duh. Mexican isn’t a color. Check your crayons. That weird green that looks like guacamole after sitting out 7 hours is not called Mexican. Who knew I like guacamole?? Learn everyday.

I see the videos every year of the stampede to get a $400 flatscreen TV for $325. I will pay $425 for that exact TV to have it shipped to my house allowing me to never interact with the “humans” in line. I say “humans” because putting oneself thru that for a TV is stupid and I’d like to think I’m a different species than those “humans”. Money isn’t very important to me so saving $75 on a TV I wouldn’t buy in the first place is way down the list of crap to think about. When I moved to Charlotte 7 years ago I was extremely low on funds. Very low. I had no TV for over 4 years. Turns out you don’t need one to live. Prior to Charlotte, I didn’t work for a year and spent that time mooching off my family all around the country. I helped out around the house though. I’m not a complete freeloader. Every single day I would tell my nieces and nephews to do chores after they brought me a large bowl of ice cream while I watched episodes of Snapped.

Enough about me for now. Kids are awesome to order around. Watching a 4 year old kid struggle to change the trash bag is super fun. They drop coffee grounds and egg shells all over themselves and the floor allowing you to yell at them for making a mess as well. The only thing better than watching kids do chores is watching kids do chores while they cry. I’m just kidding. I don’t watch them, I’m busy watching Snapped. Darn it. Pay attention Boomer….. I do yell at them to cry quietly so I can hear my show. Best Uncle Ever.

I completely forgot what I was talking about. It is 4:29 AM and my spasms are making it impossible to sleep right now. My normal routine of screaming at them while working on my puzzle can’t happen cause I’m in Alabama. My brother made a no screaming rule which I follow, but I don’t like it. I call him my “no fun cause of the no screaming rule” brother. It is kinda wordy, but I believe the message gets across. He is not to be confused with my “no fun cause I can’t steal cash out of his wallet” brother. I mean come on. Loaning myself your money without asking is actually me doing you a favor. You don’t have to think of reasons to say “No” because you don’t know about it. It is a win win. It is extra cool cause I blame the missing money on the crying kids covered in coffee grounds. This all makes sense because coffee grounds are black and this blog is about Black Friday. Keep up.

I do look forward to Mexican Monday. Everyday items that are super useful will be 75% off. Things like rope, wall climbing shoes, snorkels, floaties, border patrol uniforms, anti-Trump bumper stickers, and other border crossing essentials. Obviously I’m joking, but if big business thought they could make a profit exploiting it, the “big guy” would make it happen as long as he gets his 10%. Insert Vice President awkward cackle laugh here. Don’t look South stupid, just sign off on sending 40 billion tax dollars to Ukraine so they can protect their border. If you question that logic you are a racist.

Some people enjoy the chaos of Black Friday. I’m not one of them, but I will say please be careful and polite. No amount of savings is worth someone getting hurt or killed. Remember that we are all “humans” so be kind to one another. If you can’t follow that rule stay home.

Love Who You Are Today, Tomorrow is not Guaranteed

FREE ANDREW TAMOORESSI — YOU CAN & NEED TO HELP RIGHT NOW!!!

BRING HIM HOME!!

BRING HIM HOME!!

Crazy week. Lots of emotions and just plain crazy. I’ve been watching a story here in San Diego that is just wrong. I’ve written about it a couple times, but never published the blogs. Today is the day that I take it to you, and hope you run with it. Being silent is adding to the problem and if I’m known for anything I can’t imagine it is being silent.

This is the story of a wrong turn that went very badly. Can you imagine if you took a left instead of a right and that decision ended you up in jail?? In a foreign country?? I certainly know about bad decisions and ending up in jail, but I think I’ll save that for another blog day. Being in jail is the worst but when you add in some threats of murder, rape, beatings, and other not fun stuff you have a situation that needs attention right now. Unfreaking believable. My Mom told me I had to stop swearing in my blog so I thought I would give it a shot. This inactive reservist Marine is getting screwed by Mexico and it is time to start fighting back. Tell you what Mexico, you give us our guy and we’ll send back every Mexican dirt bag we have in our prison system. Seems like a fair trade to me!!

Want to know the back story?? Good because I’m going to tell you. He was lost, driving around San Diego and ended up at a Mexican border station. I didn’t even know they had those. I mean what do they do?? Give out water to the illegals as they pass by. Pat them on the back and say good luck in Americana?? I used to buy crack down there and let me tell you the roads are really confusing, dark, and not easy to navigate while hitting the glass pipe. These border agents are crooked, messed up, and it really is a crock of crap. Oh I miss my four letter adjectives so much!! ha ha. I have a string of them I’d like to let loose on the Mexican officials causing this.

Andrew Tahmooressi is 25 years old and did two tours in Afghanistan serving this country, serving this commander in chief, and from everything I’ve read did what was asked of him. This man received a battlefield promotion because he showed good judgement and bravery. That’s right he is a true American hero who happens to be sitting in a Mexican jail because our leadership is too busy giving the rest of our veterans crappy healthcare. Oh yeah that’s another blog day, but nice job government. Actually I should say “nice NOT doing your job government”.

So once Sgt. Andrew Tamooressi hit up the Mexican border station he explained that he made a wrong turn and simply wanted to go back to America. He also told them that he had 3 American registered (this means legal) guns in his car. Not unusual as he was in the process of moving and had all his belongings in his motor vehicle. Instead of letting him turn around and go home, calling the American embassy, or doing anything that would actually make sense they took this man to jail. A very bad jail. The notorious La Mesa state prison which is by all accounts is a very bad place to be. His arms and legs were shackled down for 35 straight days onto a bed. I bet they didn’t even wash the sheets first. Disgusting. How can we let them treat this Marine like this??? Why isn’t someone in our government freaking out???

How may Mexicans come across our border illegally daily?? I bet a few of them even bring weapons. What do we do?? Sign them up for welfare, hand them food stamps, and make sure they know how to get free healthcare. Oh and make sure you slap on an anchor baby so we won’t deport them. Is that all true?? Yep sure is. Grow up hippie, this blog needed some racist statements so I can make a point in the next paragraph. Plus my mom won’t let me swear anymore which causes me to lash out. They give our Marine back and I’ll start playing nice. Wink wink.

Why is this guy facing 21 years in a Mexican prison??? It is absurd and somebody in our government needs to grow a pair. NOW. The fact that they are silent about this means they are little punks. I really miss swearing Mom. Okay speaking of racism, you thought I forgot huh, well maybe if we make it about race our COMMANDER IN CHIEF will do his job and take care of our Marine. I mean if this was about a black Harvard professor or say an owner of a basketball team our boy Obama would trample some school kids to get to a microphone. Little ones that are carrying balloons. Seriously what kind of monster tramples little kids carrying balloons???

Random problem: I have a booger on my hand that won’t come off. Don’t you hate that?? Guess its snack time. Problem solved. Moving on.

Lock up one of our Marines and crickets. All I hear is crickets. That is what one of my ex-girlfriends told me once after a very bad performance at a comedy show. She is gone now. She turned lesbian, had a sex change, and now lives in Mexico performing live shows with a donkey three times a day. Ha ha. Maybe she can go visit our Marine?? So Andrew’s Mom (Jill Tahmooressi) has been leading the charge demanding that someone in our government stick up for her son. I have to say it really has nothing to do with party affiliation. We owe this man and it makes me sick that I’m even writing a blog about it. I’ve held back because I’ve assumed it would be handled quickly, but it hasn’t been. He really has been forgotten, pushed aside, and because helping him won’t turn into “votes” these so called leaders ignore it. Its disgusting.

So for us to get the White House/administration to comment on this situation we need 100,000 signatures (currently there is just under 29,000 so we have some work to do) on whitehouse.gov before the end of May. Take 3 minutes and sign this petition. Send it to your email contacts. Post it on your facebook page. If I get 1,000 views on this blog, I’ll stop swearing for year. No Mom you can’t click on the page 1,000 times. I’ve done all the work for you. The link is below, click it, create an account (literally takes 30 seconds), and then help us get our Marine back.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/demand-release-usmc-sgt-tahmooressi-suffering-ptsd-mexico-imprisonment/qslJk2Xd

If you enjoyed your freedom today it is because of brave men and women like Andrew who served this country. It is time for you to do your part and help Andrew Tahmooressi regain his freedom. I’ll be disappointed if my friends don’t help with this situation. Post, share, talk about this at work, at church, in the grocery store line. We can help and the time is right now to do it.
