Pictures of your child's every milestone...but let me clarify. First crawl, first steps, first word, first Halloween, first Santa visit...those are acceptable and cute. What is fucking annoying to me is: first visit to the doctor (because EVERY baby screams), first encounter with the cat that you banished to the outdoors since baby was born (the baby screams again) , and your baby in every single outfit that relatives gave you at the shower that you now feel obligated to put on your child and post a pic, no matter how gaudy and terrible the outfit may be (the baby will either be screaming or making the I'm-taking-a-juicy-dump-in-my-newly-changed-diaper face). I enjoy your children's important milestones, don't get me wrong. It's all the other annoying posts that make me want to never reproduce for fear that forcing my child on other people will evoke the same semi-bitchiness that I'm exhibiting right at this moment. I enjoy children, I really do...but I'm not interested in EVERY SINGLE DAMN ASPECT of the child's life that wouldn't normally be documented if not for social media! I don't have children (yet) but I do have dogs and sometimes I post pictures of them being silly. I don't post pictures of them taking dumps in the yard every time it happens because I feel like it's gross and nobody cares. Did I get my point across effectively here or am I just being an asshole?! Probably just an asshole. Womp womp. :/
Oh look...it's another baby.
POLITICS! Damn it, I'm so glad that's over! Now it's the crying and bitching and moaning from those whose votes didn't go the way they wanted. I get it, it's fine. We're all entitled to our opinion and we're entitled to express it, that's why we have Freedom of Speech. What I DON'T enjoy is when it turns people against each other to the point of name-calling, hate-speech, and just overall assholery. A fellow Facebook friend put it quite nicely and I'm going to steal her quote because out of everything everyone has been saying for the past few weeks, it's the only thing that makes perfect sense to me:
"Disappointed in some of my fellow facebook friends. I understand you don't like the policies of a candidate. State that. Stop bashing and berating another person for having a dissenting viewpoint from your own. Because being able to have that viewpoint is exactly why each one of you is able to vote".
WHY does politics always bring out the absolute worst in people and turn them into giant buttholes? Maybe instead of getting worked up about people's asshole-ish ways I need to become more tolerant? That doesn't seem fair either. I'm just going to suggest that we all agree to disagree on this particular topic because apart from politics and religion, I like my friends and don't want to have to kick their asses for being jerks. :) You wanna move to Canada now?! It's cold as shit up there, I'm warning you...but don't let the door hit your ass on the way out then, buh bye!!
This entry might have to be a 2-parter because I have so much more to say and no time left this evening to say it. One more thing that I'm particularly passionate about and it's in large part due to my significant other and his extra-curricular activities:
Hunting for sport VS just wanting to kill shit. I've been an animal lover my whole life and I had to learn to get over my fear of dead critters and my bleeding-heart for all God's creatures real quick if I wanted this relationship to work out. And that's exactly what I did and I have all the faith in the world that if I can do it, anyone can do it. Hunting and trapping seems brutal and cruel to those who don't understand population control and diseases like mange that affect critters and cause them to pass it on, suffer and waste away. I was one of those that wasn't aware and now that I am, it makes complete sense to me. Yes, deer are beautiful and innocent creatures except when they jump out in front of your vehicle and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage and can possibly cause car accidents that kill people. I also learned that they can over-graze on farmland, causing major headaches for my farming friends, along with the other nuisance critters that are around like stupid raccoon.
Case in point: here is my BRAND NEW VEHICLE (back in 2010) that I hadn't even made my first car payment on and I smoked a stupid deer 2 weeks after I got it and YES, I cried like a little bitch over it. That's $1,200 worth of damage right there!
Hunters kill deer for the meat and help keep the population down so that we can remain safe on the roads. Unless you've hit a deer or some other critter (like the turkey, a year later which cost $1,500 worth of damage!) then critter control probably isn't on your radar. Guess what? It's on mine, you're fuckin right it is. As long as it's done legally and humanely, I don't have a problem with it. And Joe does everything according to the law so it was easy for me to adapt to the Redneck Lifestyle. When rules and regulations are followed there should never be an issue. When critters jump out in front of my vehicle you can bet your sweet ass I'm going to get my gun-safety class out of the way so that I can make sure there are a few less critters out there causing nightmares for everyone else. Plus they taste good!
