Arnie's Keepin' It Real
What up dizzles!!!!!! Welcome to my page where the truth is set free. Welcome to the place where no punches are pulled and things are told like it is. Welcome to a place where people who don't want to speak their mind won't come... unless they wanna picket me. And welcome to the page that actually sometimes makes me look like I know what I'm talking about, welcome to my "Keepin' it Real" page. June 17th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'????? Ok, look here I know that we didn't spend a whole lot of time on it but this last weekend was FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!! Did you remember? I think not! I just wanted to send a special THANK YOU to my dad for everything that he has ever done for me. And yes, if you are wondering I am TOTALLY doing this rather than getting him a gift. No, actually I did get him something this is just me saying thanks to a guy who was always there for me even when times were really really tough for both of us. Now, mind you this is still the same man that was going to name me blossom if I was a girl and a guy who still farted everywhere we went and blamed it on me. But even after that my dad was still a a great guy, I mean he didn't do to me what he did to my sisters. When one of them was getting ready for a date he would go outside and turn either the water or the electric off while she was getting ready. Hell those two even still look up to him because he was not only a good guy, he IS a great guy and a wonderful dad. I think that the only time he ever really got mad at me, and there were a lot of times to pick from was when I slid my report card under his pillow and went to school. Needless to say that this was a BAD report card and he was mad at me that I didn't stand up to the punishment and kind of, well not kind of but really was a puss and put it under his pillow and ran away. He didn't beat me or anything like that but he did teach me how to be responisble after that and I wanted to say THANKS Dad!!!!!! Not only for that, but for EVERYTHING YOU EVER DID!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for teaching my how to throw a ball. How to light fire works, how to whistle how to fart, thanks Dad. You know if it weren't for your dad's out there you people would be pretty damn stuffy. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.......... June 10th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here I am not making light of what Paris Jackson just did to herself. I tried to kill myself as well and know that it is really a serious thing. Here's the issue that I am having with this "story". Isn't this something that we could have maybe seen coming a mile away? And instead of doing anything about it we just let her live her life in that messed up Jackson world until something terrible happened. I'm not saying that we should rip kids out of their family environments because the people are crazy but when the family is as messed up as the Jacksons are then shouldn't you at least be watching them a little more. This girl is calling out for help and the only thing I have seen so far done about it is that producers want to keep her in the movie that she is about to be in because it could get more people to go and of course Marlyn Manson has come out and said that she is welcome to ANY show that he does. That is what sent her over the top, she wanted to go see Manson and someone said no, so she ran to her room, took a bunch of Motrin and then took a meat cleaver to one of her arms. Here is the part that I am missing. If she wanted to go to the show and they said no, didn't that happen a few hours earlier than when police and ambulances were called. From my understanding they didn't show up until like 1:30 in the morning and I'm pretty sure the show didn't start that late. And did they not notice her taking a meat cleaver to her room with her? I don't know but I do know is that family is kinda, no, really messed up and I don't think it's the best place for ANY kids to be growing up. Sure, I could be wrong but I really don't think I am that far from the truth. I mean I could really care less about what happens with this family but the thing that I'm pissed about is that this is the only thing that has been on TMZ this weekend and I want to see REAL celebrities and the troubles they go through. This girl is only a celebrity because her daddy used to cover her face up all the time and he was a nut job as well. Anyways, thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla........... June 3rd, 2013 - Yo digities what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here I just spent some time looking at the comments box on some shitty story about how they have opened the L.A. River back up and people are really excited that they can Kayak on it once again. Now is that stupid on it's own? Yes, is so the answer but you have to wait and read all the comments that go along with it. It's amazing to see the computer muscles that someone grows as soon as they long onto their computer. The comments went from how cool it is to have the "river" open again to how greedy women were talking about the price of things to a battle of Native Americans against illegal aliens. It truly was an entertaining way to spend my morning til I kept seeing the same people over and over again getting into more battles and over the dumbest shit. I can't really imagine what they would be saying on a big and really important story but I can imagine that it would be just if not even more rude and probably a little more racist in some parts as well. This is the society that you people want. You want to sit behind your computers and call people out and then if they do have the balls to come back at you they do it the exact same way. Wow, you guys are awesome and soooooooo tough, you scare me sooooooooooooooo much. I promise I will do whatever you tel me to do because I know that there is NO WAY that you are going to leave your mom's house to meet me out somewhere to tell me just how stupid or fat I really am. You just stay safe at home and let mommy take care of you. Oh, and your little computer as well. We don't want to see anything happening to that at all as well. I'm sure all the tough people will ridicule this, but just remember I'm real and would LOVE to meet you in person in case you had something to say. Thanks for letting me vent. I'll holla........... May 27th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'????? Ok, look here I know that we were off this week(paid) for only one day and it was Memorial Day. I did what I do EVERY Memorial Day and called my dad who was in the Korean War. He watched some of the men he was in charge of make up the reason for this special day. I am betting that when they were doing it, one guy was thinking that I really hope some day there is something called Social Media and that people will share the stupidest things with each other on it rather than talking. I think my dad told me about that guy. But anyway I know that I should expect it but it catches me off guard all the time when people put so much fake shit up on whatever page they are in charge of this week. I'm not only talking about the idiots who don't support our troops but the ones that could really care less and are just doing it because one of their friends knows a guy who was almost in the military that they think are cute and would want to go out with, so I better put something really patriotic on my page just in case he looks at it. How about this, how about instead of showing us just how good you are how about you show the fallen instead how good you are. You know go clean off graves, spend some time with Veterans, do something a little more involved then liking the fact that it is Memorial Day weekend. And by the way you are only liking it because you think you may see some boobs from a girl who knew a guy who once talked to someone on a plane about being in the Military. I'm not saying to go out and buy them a house or car or anything like that but a lot of these veterans are really old and they don't know how to use computers and I'm sure they wouldn't be your sorry ass friend anyway on Facebook as it is. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla............. May 20th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's a crackin'??????? Ok, look here I don't know about you but I realize that our leaders are going to lie to us. But President Obama has suckin' to an all time low this week. I mean REALLY you found out about the IRS situation and other situations by watching the news. I mean if there was a chance that he found out that way, and by the way there is NO WAY he found out that way, but lets say that he did. Is that who we want leading our country????? I am going to say NO!!!!! Where has the outrage been over this. Do we not remember when Sarah Palin was running for vice President, and mind you she was only RUNNING at the time and she was asked where she got her info from, by that bitch Katie Couric and she said out of papers and magazines. Do you remember how everyone called her stupid and made fun of her for that. Well isn't this the exact same but a little worse? I mean he got his info from TV. Is that he found out about the Bin Ladin take down? I mean lets have a little consistency in this country. He really has done nothing to help the people in New Jersey after stupid storm Sandy and he isn't being crucified over that either. But once again anything that he does wrong people simply just say it would have been better if President Bush wouldn't have done that as well. I am here to officially BAN that saying. It's not because I am a Bush fan, and I am. But the fact is that the man has been OUT of fucking office for 5, that's right 5 years now. So NOTHING is his fault anymore. If the buck truly does stop with this President, those are HIS words by the way then stop blaming the former President. By the way you are in your SECOND term, that means you are the former administration as well dumbass!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know but I have invested in Rosetta-stone Chinese because they will be taking over very very soon. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla........... May 13th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's a crackin'????? Ok, look here I don't know if you watch or care about the NBA especially in the Sacramento area but things are heating up. You see the two idiots that own the team the Magoof brothers wanted to sell a majority of the team to a group in Seattle and move the team. They have been wanting to do this since they took over ownership of the team in my eyes. They first wanted to move to Las Vegas but that didn't happen so then it was off to Anaheim, and once again that didn't happen. So then they looked north to Seattle and that looked like it was going to happen. That is until the pesky Mayor of Sacramento Kevin Johnson, a former NBA All Star, got involved and found enough idiots to keep the team in Sacramento. Well, one of the boards in the NBA voted and completely rejected the team moving from Sacramento. A lot of people thought it was over right then and there. I by the way wasn't one of those people, and to give him credit neither was the Mayor. Well this week it got even better because now the Magoof brothers have come out and said that they will not sell to anyone except the Seattle group. They even have some sort of arrangement in place to where if the move doesn't get approved they won't sell the majority of their team to the group but only 25 percent and then let the pieces fall where they may. I am going to go ahead and say that this is going to go to a real court before it is ever settled on a basketball court. You see the Magoofs are a couple of spoiled kids who have always gotten their way and will continue to get their way until somebody bigger and richer stands up to them. I really hope that happens sooner than later but we will have to see. As far as the Kings leaving Sacramento, that's going to happen and then Sacramento will NOT, and I repeat NOT have another team for a long, long time if not EVER again because the NBA thinks that Sacramento is a bigger cow town than Oklahoma City. REALLY???????? Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.......... May 6th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'??????? Ok, look here this weekend the Kentucky Derby was run and does anyone really give a blue shit anymore? I mean this used to be the biggest sporting event in America, hell even the world and now it's nothing more than a terrible time consuming program that could be better used showing baseball or golf. I mean I did watch because I'm stupid and can't give up on the old traditions of this country and the best part of the whole thing was that it rained and rained and rained making it a terrible derby for fashion. I don't know about you but I am really sick and tired of EVERYTHING being set around who or what some asshole is wearing that day. I mean there is NOTHING I would want more than to know who is in charge of the Cowboys jerseys right before the Super Bowl is about to be played. Not, that I think that the Cowboys are going to be going to the Supebowl anytime soon. I just hate that everything has got to be so damn chick-a-fied in this society. Who gives a shit what someone is wearing? Do they look nice or do they look stupid. And most of the time when they say they look nice to their face they bag the shit out of them by saying just how stupid they actually do look. I really don't know how much further our society is going to fall but I don't dare ask that question because I really don't want to know the answer. I mean I don't want to know how far they are going to take the new rules in the NFL because they are going to get rid of the old NFL because it's too manly. I can't wait til they make action movies more chic-a-fied, oh wait, they already do. Is there anything that men can have anymore? I mean why does it bother you so much that men are happy and content with everything? I guess a happy man means an unhappy woman and GOD FORBID a woman is EVER NOT happy. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla........... April 29th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'????? Ok, look here the NFL held their annual draft this last week and I have to say that it was one of the worst of all time. No, not because the Dallas Cowboys, my favorite team sucked out loud because they did, it's because this year there were NO, and I mean NO superstars that came out. I know that the NFL probably goes through this every few years when draft class is so boring that they hope we don't notice and still watch. And that is exactly what happened this year. I mean I knew the first two picks were going to be big fat offensive lineman and I still watched. What is wrong with me? It's like the NFL has a spell over us and whatever they provide to us we gobble up and ask for more not realizing that they just served us a big pile of steaming shit. I'm not trying to knock the young men that came out in this years class, it's no fault to them that they aren't superstars but the NFL has brainwashed us into thinking that these guys are really going to impact the NFL. Let's face it, drafting lineman with your first pick SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, they can provide protection and block for the next 15 years or so but they aren't the jerseys that we are buying. I mean really how many times have you gone online looking to buy a jersey and being bummed that they didn't have the right guard available. That is if you even know who the right fucking guard is. This game is, and always has been and always will be about the superstar, flashy guy who either passes the ball in the endzone, catches it, runs it or knocks someones head off. Not the guy that didn't allow a sack. That guys is probably just as if not more important than those other guys but thats not who we want to cheer. We like the flash and that's what we want. So NFL next year make sure you at least have one or two superstars to make the draft at least a little interesting. What am I saying? You know I'm going to be watching no matter what. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.......... April 22nd, 2013 - Yo digities what's crackin'????? Ok, look here I don't know about you but I have got a huge chubby for law enforcement after the week they had. I tell you that it is pretty damned awesome that the dickheads who terrorized Boston are accounted for already, and we have no one to Thank except our men and women of law enforcement. Think about it, the shit that happened on Monday, then by Friday this whole ordeal was handled. Handled by the way after no groups took responsibility for this act of pussyness. I mean they had the guys faces on the TV by Thursday and one was dead Thursday night and the other was on the run. And it ain't like they were looking in a small place for these two shit eaters. They were in the sixth biggest city in the country and our boys in blue sniffed them out and found them. I don't know about you but that would be a pretty good message to other shit eaters that America is not a place that you can do something and really get away with it. I know, I know a lot of people are going to say that it still took them so many days for this to be handled and those are the people that you can't please ever. I am truly inspired by how law enforcement acted and reacted in such a terrible time. Now as for the shit eater that they have in custody I have heard them talking about how they, at the time they didn't if they have and I have written this I'm sorry, had not read him his rights just yet. And that's the thing that I am up in the air about. You see that little fucking turd became a U.S. citizen on Sept. 11, 2012. I know the irony right. So the question at hand is does he deserve a fair trial? Should he be judged a a jury of his peers? Is this someone that should be a part of our prison system? I don't know how I feel about it. I mean since they are stripping our rights away from us left and right then why not just hang him in the middle of downtown Boston? But if you enjoy having your rights then should he be afforded a lawyer and a way to defend himself from actions that are indefensible. I know that if I was a Boston cop that was on the street in the shootout with him I really would have tried my best not to miss him during the firefight because honestly I don't think he deserves a fair trial. But if that happens then I have to be ok with free speech being yanked away, along with everything else they are trying to do. I really hate the world we live in now, and it's not because I can't handle it. It's because we live during the dumbest time of mankind. We have everything we could want as humans and it's still not good enough because we want what the other guy has as well and if we can't have his shit then neither can he. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.............. April 15th, 2013 - Yo digities!!!!!!!!! What's happening???? Ok, look here I don't know if you watched the Masters this weekend but what in the hell is going on? Is Taylormade turning into a NASCAR team now? I ask because all of their players were wearing the same outfits on three out of the four days. And by the way, what has happened to NASCAR and sports in general. I have to admit that I really haven't watched a NASCAR race since Dale Earnhardt died because he was the GREATEST driver to ever live and NO ONE will ever take his place. But back when he raced everyone raced for themselves. Sure, guys would work together sometimes but it used to be every man for themselves. Now different owners have a stable of drivers and they all seem to work together for the good of the top guy on their team. I have to say this is another reason I don't watch NASCAR anymore because it's no longer an individual sport. You have guys on teams that are there just to block and cause wrecks so the top guy can finish in a better spot. That's not NASCAR that sounds more like hockey because that IS a team sport. But lets get back to golf. With Taylormade pulling this crap this weekend of everyone looking alike are they going to start playing that way as well. Lets say that Jason Day is the number two guy behind Dustin Johnson and they are both on the top of the leaderboard. Is Jason Day going to be told to dump a shot or two so that Johnson can win. Oh wait, that won't happen because Dustin Johnson is far to stupid to ever be atop of a major leaderboard. But the question still exhists and is that what we want from the individual sports now? Everyone working together like ebony and ivory? My answer is no! I already have that dynamic in team sports. Here we go once again in our "wonderful" society not letting anyone get too much glory because the others around him may feel bad. I do think that is another reason why people have turned on Tiger Woods as well. I can see people saying that he has won enough, now it's time for someone else. I saw an interview with Brent Snedegar during Sunday's coverage of the Masters. And the guy interviewing him said that it was really a classy move that he started a foundation after winning last years ten million dollar purse for the season. And that shitbag, crybaby Snedegar said, "how much is too much?" Meaning I guess that he is NO LONGER going to play for money. Uh, hello that is what professional golfers do. If you don't like or want the prize money, I will gladly take it from you. Stop apologizing for having money. If you don't want it than go back to your parents pawn shop and work there for the rest of your life. I'm sure your wife will love that. And by the way, why not give all your scholarship money back that you got to go to Vanderbilt University, one of the most expensive colleges in the country? And be sure not to tell anyone you went there because maybe they went to a state school and you don't want to upset them. I really do hate the world these people have created and I have to live in. Is it going to take another 9/11 or another World War to happen for us to realize that this USED to be the best place in the world to live and we were proud of it. Now we apologize for what we have and it makes me fucking sick. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla............. April 8th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here I don't know about you but I am about sick and damn tired of all the stupid ass gun talk. I know, it's the biggest thing facing our country right now but when the man is right you have to give him credit. Rob has said forever that there won't be any sort of national gun control but just watch out for the states to do something. He is so right and I can't wait to see all the gun people jump up and down when it comes out that the national measure has failed, only to let the states sneak up from behind and rape them in the butt with their gun control. I know that the gun people will be calling out for the second amendment and they are correct in doing so, but this is just like what the fruits are going through right now with getting married. Nationally it won't be happening but certain states will say it's ok, and others won't and states will be sued left and right. The EXACT same thing is going to happen with guns in these states. Here's the thing that pisses me the fuck off about these two even being mentioned in the same breath. You have a GOD GIVEN RIGHT to own a gun in America, you do NOT have any rights to marriage in this country and that is just the way it is until it becomes a right to be married. And as a reformed married guy I don't want that to be a right, I want the right to be that you can pursue happiness but gaining it is NOT guaranteed. Isn't that funny? I mean if happiness was a right in this country everything would be perfect, oh wait, the shitbags would get in the way like they always do. I'm sorry I was trying to think illogically there and I'm sorry that I can't. So if you think this is going to die down anytime soon, you are dumber than Dawn. I look at it ending in a way that gay guns can get married. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla........... April 1st, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'????? Ok, look here I am a die hard Dallas Cowboy fan and this week has really, REALLY sucked for true fans. You see the team has decided, stupidly I may add, to sign quarterback Tony Romo to a new 6 year extension to the team. Now, I would understand this if he had ever done anything to actually help the team. But the truth of the matter is that he has won only ONE playoff game in all the years that he has been the "leader". Tony Romo SUCKS OUT LOUD and always has and always will. This is a guy who to say chokes under pressure is like saying that Dawn is a little annoying. He is by far the WORST big game quarterback in the entire league and can't win the big game. Hell, he can't even win a game when it's a big regular season game. Tony Romo would be a great back up quarterback for any other team in the league because that's all he is, a good back up. I don't understand the fact that the team has given him time after time to succeed and all he does is fail. I don't know of any other job in the country that you could be given that many opportunities to be good and to fail as bad as he has you would have been fired a long long time ago. Jerry Jones must be being black mailed or something to stick with this hunk of shit for this long. I mean does Jerry not like winning anymore? He does know what the feeling is like. The man won 3 Superbowl rings in 4 years, so he knows what it takes to get there, and Tony Romo doesn't have what it takes. Hell, he doesn't have what it takes to win multiple playoff games in the same season. Remember he only has ONE fucking win in the playoffs. The next six years are going to be long for Cowboy fans and I am so looking forward to baseball season all ready. Let's hope for an injury or a trade sometime sooooooooooooon. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.......... March 25th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here why is it that moving is the WORST thing in the whole wide world to do? What a freakin' pain in the ass!!!!!!!!!!! I hate moving more than ANYTHING else in the world and that includes Dawn and vegetables. I have spent the last couple of weeks moving, you know to space it out and make sure it wasn't such a pain in the ass. Newsflash, IT STILL SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could tell me to take a year to move and only move two things a day and you know what? It would still be awful. I don't know if it's because you grow so attached to where you are staying. Which by the way if it's that, then your a gay. Or if it's the fact that you have acquired so much garbage that you can only really take it with you or loose out by throwing it away. This is the part of my world where I wish I was made of money because I would only move my close and my dog because I could buy a new one of everything else. I am not quite there finacially, hell I am probably being charged for writing this damn thing. And God KNOWS that I am NOT, I repeat NOT getting paid to write this crap. I think the reason I hate moving so much is because it seems to be never ending. I mean you can schedule and schedule the fact that you are going to move all the really heavy stuff one day and then the next day is going to be "easy". Too bad it NEVER works out that way. I know that there are a few of you PERFECT people out there like Rob who don't know what I'm talking about and how great everything goes when they move. Well laddy dah for you tool bag in the real world moving sucks and takes YEARS off of your life. I mean once I had a bunch of my stuff loaded on the truck and ready to go I looked in my house and it didn't even look I dented the thing. Well the good news is that I'm done moving now and don't plan on moving for a long LONG time. And by the way when that happens I really hope to be old and grey and no one will expect me to pick up one damn thing. Thanks for letting me vent, and by the way UP YOURS for not helping me move!!!!!! I'll holla............ March 18th, 2013 - Yo digities what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here I have tried time and time and time again and I just don't get it. I am talking about the UFC. Yes, I think that it really is a cool idea that guys can go into an octagon and whoop the shit out of one another. I am ALL in favor of that but what the hell has happened to it? I know that I have seen a bunch of guys get knocked out or at least tap out before but does it happen anymore? I usually don't get the PPV's but I did this last weekend because some idiot named Nick Diaz was talking all kind of shit against some bigger idiot and "champion" George St. Pierre. So, I thought that this would piss the Pierre fella off but of course it didn't he stayed true to his BORING ass game and went for take down after take down instead of trying to hurt the guy. As far as that Diaz fella goes at least he was throwing more punches and not being a bitch and try to grab a guy by his waist. Speaking of waste, this was a waste of money and time. Every fucking fight ended up as a decision. I HATE that shit. I want to see knockouts or at the very least a guy being a bitch and tapping out.. I have an awesome idea. It's called Ultimate Fighting right? Well, that's a lie and it's not Ultimate because there ain't no ball kickin' or bitin' or eye gougin' and I am NOT talkin' about the kind that the WWE does. I would love to find a state in the country or hell somewhere in the world that will hold sanctioned bar fights. That's right my league will be call the Sanctioned Bar Fighters of the World. Now of course you can't use weapons in these fights but instead of fighting on a nice mat, you fight on a hard wood floor that has saw dust on it and ANYTHING goes!!!!!! Of course there will be knockouts and tap outs and we will have a referee there but this is what America wants to see. We want to see real fights between real guys. My fighters don't have to be cut to shreads from spending time in the gym. I could see a big ass truck driver or Motorcycle Club member taking part in this. People would watch this in droves. Good bye boxing, and good bye MMA, now we have SBRW. All I need to get this started is a couple of million dollars and a state that would allow this and anyone could come take part. I call out Floyd Mayweather, I call out George St. Pierre and anyone from the boxing and MMA world to see if you could handle the REAL tough guys from the REAL world. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla........ March 11th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here it's that time of year again. March Madness is about to start and we are going to be seeing basketball all over the place and of course people will be hitting you up for your brackets and all the betting that goes along with that. Another thing that goes along with all of that is the continuing talk about paying college athletes because of all the revenue that they bring in for the universities. I know that I am supposed to take a hard stance on things but this is one of those topics that I really do feel one way but in another way I don't feel like they deserve it. For example, at the University of Texas I know that the football program is one of it not the most profitable programs in the country. Do I feel like the players deserve a piece of that? The answer is yes, but only the football players. You see college sports is kind of run like Communism, that all athletes are the same and that they should get the exact same things. Now I am not ripping Title 9, even though it does suck the life out of sports programs, but this isn't about that. You see if you pay the football players then you would have to pay the swim team too and do they make any money for the university? The answer is not as much as the football team, if they make any money at all. And that is my problem with the whole talk about paying college athletes. Duke University is a great example of how their football team is the shits, and makes really NO money for the school but the basketball team makes a ton of money for the school and that means that the basketball players should be getting some of the money. But as we all know, that ain't gonna happen. Then you have universities that have great women's sports programs. I know, that does sound stupid, but some schools like Tennessee(a shitty school but one I can use for this column) has or at least had a great women's basketball team. Their other teams at the school suck out loud but I think that the money the women's team makes should get those ladies paid. But of course you are NEVER going to have a school that only pays one sex. The way that title 9 works is that any benefit given to one athlete has to be given to ALL athletes and that's just shit. So at the AMAZING University of Texas where football players make the most money for the school if you were to pay them then you would have to give the EXACT same amount to the women's lacrosse team that makes NO money for the school. So what I am trying to say is that I should be put in charge and look over all the schools and say that based solely on team by team revenue what the athletes should be paid. And I know then the small schools would bitch and moan that they won't get the talented players to play for them. HEY SMALL SCHOOLS THEY AREN'T GOING TO GO THERE ANYWAY, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope this clears up the pay for college athletes talk for you. I know it won't but that's why I'm here. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla......... March 4th, 2013 - Yo digities what's crackin'????? Ok, look here I know that everything is right in the world again today. We are back from vacation(PAID) and the best show on TV is back as well. Duck Dynasty. I have to say that the first two episodes were awesome and I can't wait for the new ones to get here this week. But a little controversy surrounded the boys from that show when they went on Jimmy Kemmel the night before the premier. You see shit bag singer Morrisey was supposed to be on and if you don't know(you are lucky) he is a PROUD vegan. Let me say I have nothing against vegans or people that CHOOSE to live that lifestyle but this guy is a fucking nut. He said he will not preform at the Staples Center in L.A. unless they don't serve any meat during his show. I would show up with a burger and throw it at him and then kick my own ass because I was at a Morrisey show. But he REFUSED to go on Kimmel because he didn't want to share the show with and I do quote "Duck Serial Killers". HUH??????? They are also known as hunters. And here we go again, just because you choose to not do something you want to limit the others from doing it as well. He said that he would be on if they weren't allowed on and good for Jimmy Kimmel to realize that Morrisey is a has been and nobody cares about his crappy fucking music. I don't understand why everyone has to have their way all the fucking time. I mean as a kid I was raised to be told NO every once in a while and I didn't think that people hated me for it. I wished they would have said yes but it was right so that is why they said no. Now instead of just learning the lesson and moving on when people don't agree we run the other way, bad talk them, or even sue them. That is the America that has been created. So the next time your kid is sent home because he brought a bologna sandwich to school and some hippie kid complains don't ask, "WHAT HAS HAPPENED?" You have allowed this to happen by not speaking out and saying NO to these punks. And I know, I know it's soooooooooo hard to say no to your kids. Funny thing about that is that my parents had NO problem saying NO to me. Hell, I thought that Goddamnit was my first name, my middle name was Arnie and my last name was No. I know that this isn't going to land with any of you because all your kids are perfect and blah, blah, blah. I am here to tell you that they are not and the more you give them the more they will take from you and ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla......... February 18th, 2013 - Yo digities what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here I don't know if you have seen this but it has happened. Dannika Patrick has the pole for the Daytona 500. This is the Super Bowl for stock car racing and one race that I still do pay attention too. Having the pole for a race isn't really that big of a deal it just means you had an amazing car for qualifying and that is when NO one else is on the track and you can drive as fast and loose and crazy as you want. And by the way that is exactly how she drives, and that is exactly why she has yet to win a race in this country. By the way I don't think that she will finish in the top 25 of this race like usual hell I honestly don't believe that she is going to finish this race. And will that be enough then? Enough of the fact that this experiment is NOT working. If they want a woman to drive stock cars then get a woman who can drive it. If this is the best candidate that they have and have ever had then we know that they don't belong because she is yet to win a race or really even sniff out a win. I would love to see how many men have lost their rides who had the same opportunity as she has had. Oh wait, no man has ever been given what she has had without winning a race. I mean with all the endorsements and time she spends infront of the camera you would think that she has at least won 10 races or even took home a points championship but no. Dannika Patrick has never won and will never win because she is a terrible driver. That is the plain truth to the matter is it because she is a woman, I like to think so, but maybe she just really sucks at her chosen job. There are plenty of people like that but the problem is when they suck for as long as she has they loose their jobs and she just seems to be getting more opportunities the worse she gets. Hell, that would be a job I would want. Get rich for being terrible. I could be terrible at plenty of jobs, just sign me up right now. And by the way she shows just how much racing, let alone competing means to her. A real competitive person would be sick over the fact that they can't win and never have. Not her, she just keeps cashing those checks and not looking back. Dannika Patrick your pole sitter at this year's Daytona 500, maybe if she were to dance around the pole it would be a little more interesting. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla........... February 11th, 2013 - Yo digities what's crackin'?????? Ok, look here I know, I know this week is the "happiest" most "loving" most "special" week of the whole year. That's right its the week of Valentines Day. And guys you know what that means? The pressure is on. This is the week that you will be judged on and remembered for until her birthday or Christmas and if you do a bad enough job then she will still hold that against you. If I have said it once I will say it a million more times to the fact that if you girl says she doesn't want anything for Valentines day it's a trick. I mean you are going to sit her down and grill her like a member of the Taliban to see if she will crack. Most times they will only crack to make you feel like an idiot so I just recommend that you do something for the day. Look I know it's a stupid made up holiday but you are the dumbass that got into a relationship and these are the pitfalls that go along with that crap. So here's what happens if your girl is one of the ones that says she wants nothing. Most of, if not all of the time they don't mean that but lets talk about the very few that actually do mean it. These are woman that you can never please and she is probably a shitty gift giver as well. But the good news is that when she motherfucks you to her girlfriends about how you actually gave her something on Valentines Day and how you are sooooo terrible for doing that her friends start to look at you in a different light and maybe it will work out with one of them instead of your insane girlfriend. Look as far as gifts and shit like that goes you are always safe with dinner at her favorite place or the place you two first had dinner. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM CANDY!!!!!!!!!! That is unless your dating a fatty. Then they don't mind so much. And as stupid as this sounds you need to know the color of the flower thing because girls know what every color of every type of flower means. I know it's stupid and you are just trying to be a nice romantic guy but don't fall for it because it will bite you in the ass. This day gentleman is a warzone. If you make it out of this day alive and with your relationship in check than you have done a great job but that just means you have to do more next year, unless you come to your senses and decide not to be in a relationship until after St. Patricks day. I really hope that I have helped you guys out, if not, well you are fucked!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.......... February 4th, 2013 - Yo digities what's happening?????? Ok, look here I don't know about you but I am about sick and damn tired of shitty customer service. I know, I know I have talked about this before but guess what? I'm talkin' bout it again. I have had a couple of incidents happen recently that have just pissed me off to no end. I was in a store looking for a pair of shoes and I walked in and asked the clerk if they had the shoes I wanted and the first thing that he did was ask if I had checked online to see if they had them. If I would have checked online then I wouldn't be in your damn store. I can understand maybe asking that question after you look in the back and see if you do or do not have them, you know do your job. I don't think this idiot realized that if everyone just checked online that he wouldn't have his job anymore because there would be no need for him. Not that he was that valuable of a worker anyway. But the latest thing to happen to me really pissed me off. I was looking for an item and I was told that it was on their delivery truck that got in that day. So I told them that I would be back in a few hours to come and get said product. I went back to the store about 5 hours later. You know long enough to let them unload the truck and get the items scanned in and out on the floor. Well, when I showed up and asked for the product the girl this time said that she didn't know if they got that in because they don't know what is on the truck. HUH????? They don't know what's on the truck? So does that mean that they could be sent a shipment of illegal aliens and they would sell them at their store because they have NO idea what is on the truck. How stupid of a statement is that? Really there isn't a shipping list or an envoice to where you can see what they sent. I guess that is why sales are down all over America is because just random shit is showing up at stores and shutting down commerce. Needless to say I talked to a couple of mangers about these stupid/shitty employees and I know that nothing is going to get done because we don't care anymore in America but at least I feel good. Yes, I know that it's a hollow feeling but I can remember a time when I actually worked in retail and we were actually supposed to help the customers. I guess that's what the internet is for now. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla........ January 28th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's crackin'????? Ok, look here I am sure most of you didn't notice but this week a true sports icon passed away. I know this because this man was my hero's hero. If your wondering that's my dad's hero and his name is Stan Musial. If you want to talk about a superstar this guy was one. Sure, he may not be name recognizable like Willie Mays but the man was one of the greatest baseball players to ever live. But that is only saying half of it about him. When he died this week I think a big part of sports died as well. Sure, he could hit, field, run and throw with the best of them but how many ballplayers actually gave money back to the team because they had a bad year? Stan did. How many of today's players would even stay loyal enough to live in the city you played in for the rest of your life. Not to many, but Stan did. I mean you can't even expect a player to be loyal to a team while they are playing. This offseason was great to see Kevin Youkoulous who was a real leader on the Boston Red Sox the years they won the World Series and he signed this off season with the Yankees. You know the bitter fucking rival of the Sox? Today's players have turned the game into such a business, and the fans have done so as well. Instead of rooting for your favorite team you are rooting for your stupid ass fantasy team and could care less about anything else because you could win a few bucks. I really can't get over how much sports has changed in my lifetime and how if it doesn't do something to change back we are going to lose what we enjoy the most, our sports. That wasn't the case when guys like Stan played. People stayed loyal to their teams, players stayed loyal and wouldn't go to their rivals because they were going to pay them a little more. Hey, I am all for guys getting as much money as possible but why don't you have a little heart while your at it as well. Stan sure did. I write this column for my dad because he loved Stan Musial. The only other athlete my dad liked as much was Arnold Palmer and that's why I was named after him. I think if he could have gotten away with it my middle name would have been Stan. But to my dad's credit I think he realized that with the last name of States my initials would have been A.S.S. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.......... January 21st, 2013 - Yo digities!!! What's happening?? Ok, look here I don't know about you but I thought we were in the middle of a recession. I mean that can't be the point after the whole inaguration that just happened. I'm not sure on how much it costs but whatever it was couldn't that money be used for something that is actually important to our country? I know, I know its tradition but really with as poor as we are as a nation right now they justify this. And before you accuse me of just hating the President, which I do. I would have written the same thing if the right guy would have won. I just couldn't believe all the pomp and circumstance that went with everything, oh wait I could. The reason is because we are stupid. Instead of doing whats right for the country we fall back on the bullshit of tradition to justify doing this garbage. When are there going to be people in charge who say no to this crap. I know, that will happen in the year 2000 and NEVER!! Instead of raising our taxes how about we cut out horseshit like this and have the money go to the right places. Oh wait, I forgot I live in America. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll holla.......... Adigity January 14th, 2013 - Yo digities, what's happening?????? Ok, look here, it's time to STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!!!!! This week Lance Armstrong is going to sit down one on one in a no holds barred interview with........OPRAH Winfrey. Now if you think that this is going to be a big deal then you are more than 100% wrong. I know it's impossible to be that wrong but you have found a way to do it. I think that Jay Leno or David Letterman would ask harder questions than Oprah on this issue. You see, now that Lance Armstrong is losing money from people who endorsed him, he thinks that sitting down and telling "his side" of the story will make us all just forget all the allegations against him in the past. And doing so on a failing cable channel like Oprah's just shows his lack of balls. Yes, that pun was meant to happen. I'm sorry I know that I am being very pessimistic on this but do you really think that Oprah of all people will flat out ask him about steroids? I really don't. And I don't know if it is because Lance will have certain things that he will agree on before the interview even happens about answering and if that's the case then it really isn't a no holds barred interview. He can't dictate how things go in this interview. I don't blame him for having stipulations in place because once he admits to using steroids, which I really don't think he will do, he will be losing even more money than before. Think about the people that he has sued and won over false statements about steroids or blood doping and now he will have to pay those people back and then some. I imagine that this will be what happens. Oprah will ask series of softball(hahahaha) questions and he will kinda answer them and then Oprah will give him a big ole hug and say that all is forgiven on her part and the rest of the country and world should do the same. The problem is that she doesn't have that power anymore. Ever since she took her talents to her own network she has been sliding downhill. I can only imagine that she contacted Lance and said look I will let you say whatever you want to say about all this shit and let you get away with it because I SO need the ratings on my shitty network. I mean just a few weeks ago I had high hopes for Bill O'Reilly when he interviewed Bob Costas about what Costas said about gun control. In the past O'Reilly used to be really good about not putting up with bullshit answers and he would either get the truth or the person would stop answering all his questions. Well, that didn't happen with Costas because the two are a part of the good ole boy network and were looking out for one another. That is exactly what is going to happen in this bullshit interview. I wouldn't be surprised if Oprah brought up the fact that steroids or not Lance Armstrong raised millions of dollars for cancer research so he should get a little understanding. Even though he lied through his teeth for years and years and took down anyone who called him a liar. Well Lance, YOU are the liar and you are probably going to get away with it because of who is interviewing you. Congratulations on being a man who really has NO balls and gives a bad name to people who really do fight and beat cancer. Let me be one of the first to say FUCK YOU LANCE!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for letting vent, I'll holla......... January 7th, 2013 - Yo digities what's crackin'????? Ok, look here, I am sooooooooo ready for 2013 to start and put 2012 way the hell behind me. I know, I know it was the year I got a second chance and I agree but I want it to be over. I ready for a fresh start and not all the cliche' crap like I'm going to take better care of myself or loose weight or anything like that. No, instead this year I am going to finally be in control of things that are happening in my life. I had really grown used to letting people run things and mainly run me. It seemed to work, but I was way off there because that is exactly what lead to my having such a shitty year. Instead now I am going to take some of the crap I have learned and put it to use. No more letting people walk all over me and get away with it. No more eating the big shit sandwich just to make people happy. No more wanting to speak up but not want to upset anyone with what I NEED to say. That is all in the past I am not going to become a bigger asshole, I don't know if that's possible, but I know that I am no longer going to be a doormat either. This is not me saying poor me, I never wanted to be the squeaky wheel, because I still don't want to be. I just don't want to be the person that everyone gets their way with all the time, including when it causes me any pain or conflict. I never realized until last year that I was that way. I always thought that I was just going with the flow. But instead the flow was going all over me. I can remember when it wasn't like that and I was happier. Well, as happy as I could actually be but I was happier and that's all I'm looking for. I'm not looking for getting my way all the time, I'm not looking to be the bad guy I am just looking out for myself because I know there aren't many people that will do it for me. Yes, I do know that there are plenty of people on my side and will have my back and those are not the people I'm talking too. I am talking to the people who said that they would be there or would have my back and then when I would ask them for the help they would say that I was being a burden or I was too needy. Well on behalf of the new 2013 outlook on things let me just be the first to say FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be an AMAZING year for me. Why you ask? Because I am going to make it that way. I hope that you don't mind but I am taking care of Arnie better than anyone else can. If you want to be a part of my life I welcome you with open arms, but if all you want to do is hang on and not help out get the hell off this ride because it's going to be fucking awesome this year. Thanks for letting me vent, I'll hollla............. |
