grade school continued

i will get back with 4th through 6th grade..... things start to get interesting.

my life

after montana, we moved to wake island.

dad worked for the gov't.

mom and dad met in the service. both navy, dad on the hospital ship recovering, mom his nurse.

memories of wake,

seagulls,
destroyed ankle during handlebar riding incident with older sister.
drunk guy (did not know he was a drunk at the time) barfing up franks and beans on the side of our road,
crush on babysitter, smoking ass hot as i remember.
washing tub.
wringer dryer.
walking out on the reef.
swimming in the lagoon.
fishing off dock.
porch.
walking to school.
happiness.


moved to indianapolis.
new.
sucked.
empty.
no friends.
school, no longer an adventure. right across the street.
meeting mom for lunch, no socializing with the other students at lunch.
2nd grade, liked teacher mrs fisher learned to read by phonics.
3rd grade, split 3rd / 4th grade class, paid attention to 4th grade information.

always in the shadow of my "perfect older sister, 14 months older", every teacher your michelle's brother, it will be great to have you in my class. little did they know, i would not be "great to have you in my class"

when i went to 4th grade, basically spending my 3rd grade learning 4th grade as well. things were changing, in our area because of gov't regulations and other things section 8 apartments were erected and the fun started.

i am not exactly an impressive physical specimen while in 4th grade i was at least a foot shorter than any other student, and weighed maybe 45 lbs.

ivory dale, cassandra jefferson. two names.

my life

my early history.
born in montana, earliest memory, christmas when i was 3, i got a toy truck/car carrier. i tried for two days to open the "battery compartment" on the truck.

never asked for help, eventually figured it out. it was a "tool box" and the tab did not actually open.


stole m&m's out of bowl, told mom and dad, "not me", of course i had chocolate on my lips. they did not call me out on the blatant lie, at least not enough to keep me from repeating the behavior.

i had allergies at the time, i used to get severe hives and nosebleeds. i remember sitting out on the porch with cotton stuffed up my nose, eating a fudge pop to make me feel better, while said fudge pop caused the bleeding and suffering.

not too many memories for a little while.

job

i started my new job, tues-fri day, 60 hours. they slapped a spec manual and showed me a panel, this has to go out like yesterday, they said. this is great... i am having fun.... i hope i can deliver

job

after 16 years with maybe 3 years total out of that 16 on afternoon shift, i have taken a new job on day shift. bitching about old job to come later.

pissed

i am pissed with America. anyone who buys a japanese branded car is a traitor. remember when "made in japan" meant the cheap little crap was just that cheap little crap. it still is. we have spent billions bailing out, rebuilding, propping up, and otherwise cutting our own throat with the yellow little devils.

America rebuilt their country after they cowardly attacked us. we kicked their ass. history lesson anyone?? who provided the japanese with the first dies and plans for motor cycles??? harley davidson,that is who, how did that work out. a sneaky little bastard is always going to be a sneaky little bastard. the orientals are sneaky little bastards.

look around, have you ever noticed that you can NEVER see a jap, driving an American car, never.

i "worked" at an American car company for 16 years, i just got a new job so that is coming to an end.... i used never to the japs driving American cars. i stand corrected, out of 20 orientals or so that WERE GIVEN THEIR MONEY FROM AN AMERICAN COMPANY AND A DISCOUNT ON THE VEHICLES THEY MADE..... 2 drove cars that they helped manufacture. the rest bought jap cars.... i am pissed.

every time i walked through our parking lot and saw a jap car, i asked myself, you are being paid by and American car company and you turn around and buy a flipping jap car........i am pissed.

of the white people %99 bought our products. blacks %80 the rest usually mercedes or jags or other european cars(which is technically ok since they trade fair), but orientals FUCK THEM.

i love seeing an old man of wwII age with a purple heart plate, driving a fucking mitsubishi,,,,, hey ass wipe, they made the zero's.

i will pontificate on this further...... just remember orientals are sneaky bastards, always were, always will be.

upcoming posts

my method of suicide.
my terminal killers club.

things and other things

i will start to fill in my history and back story on why i am like i am. i think you will like it. teasers, started drugs 5th grade, left home to dart in map. years of drunken debauchery in europe (early '80s. school, marriage to call girl, baby and step daughter raising, more drunkeness, killing a motorcyclist, party years, insanity and many other delights. then things get interesting.... i would like to start telling my stories, some of them may even be true.

watching sports on tv

i watched the entirety of the ryder cup. many, many hours friday, saturday, and sunday. i dvr'd the football games, and despite myself the nascar race (i run three dvr's) the ryder cup on all three days was some of the best sports drama in the last few years. it was great, kept me on the edge of my seat for 3 days...... go America.
Sunday night i watched the early cbs game, bengals vs. giants, a great ot game. giants should have lost it.
i then watched the colts game. (back story) my buddy, his wife and I had season tickets from '94 to about 2001. during this time we were harassed by the dome security, ushers and cops almost every game. (more on that later. why did dungy elect to throw on the last series when a couple of runs would have left no time on the clock. up until that point GREAT clock management. those two throws to stop the clock when you had one time out and over a minute,well, bad. they deserved to lose the game anyway.

so to recap even with dvr, ryder cup 5 hours of actual watching on sunday. 3 hours taking care of LB (little bastard)my grandson, walked him and let him run around the park and football field for several hours. two complete football games about 4 1/2 hours. 12+ hours of sports viewing pleasure. during this time since i am not at work and required to be sober, somewhere around 18 beers (becks.

i watched the bucs / bears game. very entertaining. two great qb's from the same team (bears). the bucs beat the bears, who beat the colts, does this mean griese is better than peyton?

a ~billion dollar taxpayer monolith, colts stadium, no wins, bring back the hoosier dome. reggie miller and peyton manning should reimburse the taxpayers of indiana the cost of the fieldhouse and the new stadium, without them they would not have been built,...... just kidding. i like the new facilities. i would rather my stolen tax money to infrastructure than, to lazy fuckers and twelve baby welfare bitches.

sports crawl

i hate the crawl, this is the information age. if i wish to know something, i will go online or find the information. i work the afternoon shift, i have for 15 years (another post) worked the afternoon shift. some reasons for afternoon shift.

1. i like to stay up drinking all night.
2. i like to play golf in the morning, when the real golfers play.
3. less management = less morons.
4. i get more done.
5. i can make decisions quickly, helping our company without idiot approval.
6. 100% less "meetings", when, has anything been accomplished with a "meeting"?

back to the hatred of the crawl.
i am a sports nut, i try to watch almost everything relevant at the highest levels of sports, meaning no women (except some womens tennis, only the hot babe matches and just to see if the high beams are on) sports or x-game type putridity. baseball, hockey, football, golf, motorsports, and no, soccer is not a sport. i follow most of the other sports and know what is going on, generally just to make snide comments.

since i work the off shift, i record everything. because of this i can watch 9 to 10 hours of sports in 5 hours or so.

i watch very little of espn-2 they always have the crawl.
espn is right behind.
abc/espn is starting to intrude.
fox is fairly decent on everyday but sunday.
nbc, do they broadcast sports.
wgn does great, only scores for baseball during cub games and not that often.

i have quit watching sports center, berhman was bad enough, now it is bitches crapping up the airwaves.

i do not know about you but, crap, women sports desk wenches just plain suck, they read the info, like barak but have no stinking idea or real enthusiasm for what they are doing.

to watch the nfl on sunday i apply the following, (i only get 4 games) since i can not get the nfl package on my cable system. directtv is the only system that offers the package.

everywhere else in the world anyone can get the sunday ticket. the u.s. the biggest nfl market directtv has a monopoly, (just wait until nfl network has pay per view games)oh yea i do not get nfl network either.

on to how to watch multiple games.

1. dvr all games. if only one early game, obviously watch that first. otherwise,
2. cbs has their crawl on the bottom of the screen. i have a block for the bottom of the screen. start with this game. when "in game" reports start / have last channel programmed to non sports channel and be quick about it.
3. at half of first recorded game start watching the first half of the recorded fox game, (this way you generally get to enjoy at least half of each game) their crawl is in the corner, you can usually just ignore it but you can not block it.
4. switch back to cbs, watch that game until completion. if "bonus" coverage starts, go back to fox game.
5. finish watching fox game. then go back to "bonus" games on cbs.
6. watch late game, if the late game is double header follow the above after watching early game.
7. watch late game on nbc, fat madden is just plain stupid.
8. if you are a race fan, (i have 2 dvr's running on my main tv). usually f1 runs early since it is usually in europe. watch f1 before football. then watch irl after football, since football generally does not update irl.
9. do not watch or support japcar.

watch monday night football.

USE and I mean USE intimidating tactics to insure co-workers do not give scores away, i mean flipping intimidate them. do not be a puss, bad things will follow anyone who gives information on games of any sort........ any information on any game or sport. my co-workers do not even acknowledge that a game or sport is taking place...... this is imperative..... unless i broach the game or subject and acknowledge it is ok.

i have refused to acknowledge the existence of persons who have violated the no score rule. for lengthy, lengthy amounts of time. it really pisses me off.

upcoming whining, bitching and complaining.

1. I hate the score crawl, I just plain fucking hate it.
2. Women sportscasters, sideline reporters, and anchors.
3. bad drivers.
4. entertainment idiots/hypocrites.
5. sports observations.
6. reasons for working off shift.

sports and the pussyfication of america

its tuesday and i am getting around to watching the racing for the weekend (i live by the dvr).
i stopped watching nascar earlier in the year.
since i am from around indy i have always been a proponent of open wheel racing.

nascar, i now call it japcar. before toyota i called it crapcar, back in the early 90's, me and my open wheel friends had a general disagreement with the stock car fans.... at the time we called nascar the WWF of racing. That continued forever they said it was great racing, we countered it was contrived. anytime nascar needed a storyline to continue it somehow seemed to happen.
racer one has a 10 year winning streak, bam 2 races from the end of the season.. a win.... next best finish of the year 23rd. racer two, needs a top 10 to secure funding from sponsor.. damn, finishes #9. next best finish of the year 17th.
when the COT supposedly meaning the "car of tomorrow" was orchestrated by toyota with the france family. spec racing, which had been happening for years had come to completion. with spec racing, small transgressions that used to be overlooked are big. cot means "car of toyota". the france family now has complete control of the story lines in japcar. do not think for a moment that they are not manipulating what is happening.

more to come.

tv

i watch a lot of tv. thank God for DVR / Tivo. I generally do not watch commercials, I see them on occasion but i work the off shift so i can record and not have to put up with the drivel. i did however catch a commercial on usa while watching the u.s. open tennis match. that idiot frank caliendo (sp) was pitching "dish network" he was making fun of President Bush's memory. First of all I could care a whit about President Bush, he is a traitor. But I will not be buying "dish network" a company making fun of our President to sell tv service. I reject this on so many levels.

commercials

i would like to start an uprising against stupidity.
falsehoods of liberalism.
i will try to destroy the anti-capitalist, communist forces that are ruining America.
if i do not succeed no one will care.

my beliefs

first of all, i am really not a conservative i am a libertarian. i believe that government should be applied at the lowest level. the federal government should just butt out of our lives. i am a strict constitutionalist. i have read the consitiution several times and i can not find many or the "rights" that our courts now grant.

first post

well i do not know what i am doing, so this is a test. i guess i am going to blog about life in general, and life being a drunken little elf. be back shortly.
