OK, got that out of my system

Yes, I typed them an e-mail. This is what I told those morons:

I have been hearing reports from good friends that your group planned a protest at a funeral in Brockway, PA, on Monday. Having said that, expect me to unleash an intelligently controlled fury the likes of which you have never seen before.

You fucktards! How dare you even consider protesting at any funeral, let alone one that killed so many INCLUDING children as young as four months old? A funeral is a time for a family and community to grieve, not for you asshats to make a political statament! How would any member of your church feel if, God forbid, they were faced with burying nine members of their family and a friend all at once, and having somebody like yourselves protest at the funeral? Of course this point will go completely over your heads, so I will type it with caps lock: HOW WOULD ANY MEMBER OF YOUR CHURCH FEEL IF, GOD FORBID, THEY WERE FACED WITH BURYINH NINE MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILY AND A FRIEND ALL AT ONCE, AND HAVING SOMEBODY LIKE YOURSELVES PROTEST AT THE FUNERAL? Hopefully my point just got made.

Hang on, I'm not finished! I know right now you are going to type up something as this is God's punishment for the wickedness of America, particularly homosexuality. Newsflash dickheads: homosexuals can also be God-fearing people. I know of a few. Jesus teaches that you are to love your neighbor, correct? Well, I love all my neighbors, no matter what they believe. I myself am heterosexual FYI. I have friends who are homosexual, but I treat them no different than my heterosexual friends. They are humans created by God, as we are all created in His Divine Image, correct?

Also, for the record your group is pretty much the laughingstock of the world. People at least have some respect for politicians and terrorists when they make fun of them on TV. So here's a great idea: start re-reading your Bibles, in particular the parts where Jesus says to "Love Thy Neighbor" and the part where it is said that we are all "created in God's own image" and then contact me when you have some sense of sanity. And yes, I do agree there are parts in there that call homosexuality a sin, but I only go by the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ on that, and NOWHERE did I see any mention of that. Oh sure there's a part about adultery, but homosexuality isn't adultery. (And for the record, I consider myself Baptist and am converting to Catholicism. Chew on THAT one dipshits.)

Now, I must go and do more important things than waste 10 minutes typing up an e-mail to a bunch of buffoons who simply won't get any point that I made in this e-mail.

OK... now I'm pissed

Here's the deal: last week, there was a fire in Brockway, PA, that killed ten people. A friend of mine was practically related to them; not by blood, but that's how close she was with them that she considered the children her nieces and nephews. It was an incredibly terrible tragedy, one that touched those around me, and brought me to tears.

On Monday I was at work. I'm glad I was. I heard people from the Westboro Baptist Church were in the area. Now, for those who have no earthly idea who these people are, they go around protesting at funerals, saying that the victims of such terrible tragedies DESERVED to die as punishment by God against the wicked ways of this country. How utterly ridiculous! I think one of these people goes on Hannity and Colmes and is the only person in this world able to piss off Hannity! But anyhow, word got to me and several of my co-workers, and I came very close to clocking out and driving on what little gas I had in my tank to Brockway and do this country a favor and knock each and every single one of those assholes in the mouth! This was a terrible tragedy that affected not only the family, not only the borough of Brockway, but this entire region. We are all getting over our grief and moving on. And yet, there are fucktards in this world who want to use this tragedy to make a political statement. Yes, I know they have a right to say what they want thanks to the First Amendment, but in this case I'd volunteer them to be the first people in this country's history stripped of their privilege, as they prove utterly inept to practice it properly.

As for me, I'm writing them a letter. I am using a throwaway addy in order to get my point across.

Friggin' sweet!

So I was boiling water to cook either noodles or hot dogs - I hadn't decided - and as the water was heating up I thought about how I really need a microwave. Sure I could get one, but as it's raining I didn't want to lug that thing through the rain, across the street, and then up a flight of stairs.

Enter my neighbor Kris. I was sitting here and heard a knock at my door. This surprised me as in the month that I've been here I have seen Kris a few times, Eric once or twice as I'm going somewhere and he's getting in, and one of the females in this building that I'll assume is Janna. Everybody pretty much keeps to themselves, but I digress. Anyhow, Kris is getting a new microwave, and asked if I wanted to buy his old one. You bet! I had to move the stand the clock was on into the kitchen so I had a place to put it, but it works out. Hey, talk about timing!
