There are things in life that really agitate me, so I thought I would make a list, which goes like this;
U.S. Congress; This place has to be the 'White Elephant' of the world, and the worst institution, ever. The approval rating of the American people is at an all-time low and getting lower all the time. This worthless place is filled with self-serving, worthless people, who only think abaout themselves and fill their pockets from the taxpayer's. None of them are worth what they get paid. You can't say enough bad things about the worthless Congress, etc.
Hollywood: As far as I'm concerned, this place is just another scary movie...waiting to be produced and released! Everything is wrong with Hollywood...drunks; dope addicts; egos everyone is stumbling over; these so-called 'stars'. This place is filled with phoney's who give awards to themselves. The Academy Award is the most worthless of them all. In a poll I saw recently, the Oscar was voted last in importance. I think the Nobel and Pulitzer were on top of the list. I haven't seen a Academy Awards show in over 50 years, and I don't plan to see one any time soon. Hollywood is the biggest congregation of egos on the planet...these are people who think their poop doesn't stink...I have breaking news for them...
If I were given a free ticket to tour Hollywood, and my expenses to and from were paid, I would NEVER go to Hollywood. Everything about Hollywood...SUCKS...
The Pope Is Just Another Sinner; I grew up as a Catholic, and I gave up all brick and mortar churches, when one of my brothers got sexually abused when he was 14 years by a priest in the church. I quit the Catholic church...never to return... and all chruches of the brick and mortar variety, and today, I'm a better person for it.
I have not attended a service at a brick and mortar church for over 30 years, because I think all churches are infested with perverts and pedophiles, and people of cover-up. Today, the churches use the doctrine of 'separation of church and state' to their advantage, so the authorities won't interfere in Church business, etc. I think we all know what that 'church business' is.
Back then, I didn't go to church,' to be 'eyeballed' by a pervert, wearing his or her little Halloween costume on Sunday. Today, the church (all denominations) is about power and scare-tactics over the people and MONEY. If you. regularly. put money in the collection basket...you are sure to go to YOUR heaven. If you want to support the little perverts and pedophiles in the church...that's your business...In 2013, I have my own little church, and I put it up when I came online ten years ago. If you don't believe me, take a visit and you'll see for yourself...
Jerry's Little Church; (Trust me, there are no perverts, pedophiles, or people of cover-up, here)
Football/boxing; In America, we live in a country of choices. These football players and boxers had a choice to get in the ring and get beat up and the football players had a choice to go onto the field to get beat-up. Football is the silliest game, as all these people pile up on top of one another, and then pat each other on the butt for a good play. Where else would you see behavior like this except in America. As for boxers...they know the risks. Don't be crying after these people retire from the game, and they complain of head injuries and brain damage. It all comes with the territory, and YOU made the choice.
Music/rock n' Roll; GREED is the name of the song in this concert hall. I don't listen to Country music or jazz or opera, etc. So, the only music I can comment on, is rock and roll. As far as concerts are concerned, music people have shot themselves in both feet, and greed for ticket prices has been their doom. Ticket prices I have never paid to see these has-beens. These people get a top 40 record, and they think they're 'larger than life' and they can change and get want, and they find the concert halls empty because of greed.
I remember back in the early 1980's, when Michael Jackson, was at the top, he was charging 30.00 a ticket, which raised eyebrows at that time. Today (2013) 30.00 is peanuts for a ticket, but I wouldn't pay $30.00 to see God. I'm sure not paying $30.00 or more to see these jerks in music. I've seen some of these old rockers on the PBS oldies shows, and they're pathetoc/ Old rockers, who want to look like Elvis of old...pretty bad. Some people don't know when to quit.
Coaching/sports; It's just a game; Too much cheating in sports today, for me to have any interest. In the pros, players, coaches and owners make too much money for what they do. We are a country of greed, and you'll find plenty of it in sports. The players in the pro sports are not worth what they make, and neither are the coaches and the owners. Nothing but GREED! Too many people in sports are following in the footsteps of the lying Lance Alworth. The strike in the NFL for more money; even the referees are getting greedy. I didn't know the referees in the NFL made over $200.000 a year for part-time work. Professional sports can be summed up in two words; cheating and greed.
Golf; A laugher for sure; This is the silliest game I've ever played. Grown and seemingly mature people play this game. These people hit the golf ball hundreds of yards down the fairway (freeway) and then they chase it; only to hit it again and chase it again. Since they don't get enougjh thrill in hitting and chasing the ball all morning, they do this pretty much all day. Can you believe grown-up mature people do this type of behavior all day to relax?
I played gold in the mid-1960's when golf was cool (sort of), I went out on the golf course to relax, too. I got my relaxation by wrapping golf clubs around trees, and fishing my ball out of ponds, placed there as a hazard, or so they say. My blood pressure and stress have never been higher, and so I gave up the game because of medical reasons. (ha-ha) (my handicap of 143 was also a factor in giving up the game) I think the neighbors along the golf course, were happy to see me give up golf...they can now take the boards off their windows, etc.
Materialists; The other day, I saw a woman dusting her car out in the parking lot with a feather duster. As she went around the car dusting, I thought to myself, "Poor car...it has dust all over it." This woman would probably leep in her car if she could. These people who pay these kind of prices for a vehicle, and nothing but materialists...the vehicles are not worth the cost, etc. GREED shows its ugle face in the auto industry...
Stupid Fans; The stupidest fans, in my view, are in the National Football League. This past season, I saw a list in the newspaper, of ticket prices in the NFL, and it was an eye-opener. New England is the greediest team, with ticket prices set at about $130 each. (pathetic). Lowly Cleveland has some catching up to do, with ticket prices at ONLY $60.00 each. (more greed) Can you imagine taking a family of four to watch these jerks? As I said earlier, I wouldn't pay this kind of money to see God. (I hope He or She doesn't read this) This country is filled with nothing but run-away GREED!
