PET PEEVE

Okay... let me explain... I'm a closure kind of girl.

If I don't have closure on something, I stew over it.

So if I write you a fucking letter stating that I have problems and I want you to be aware of them without getting your feelings hurt... at least do me the courtesy of replying to say SOMETHING!

Yes, I know you got it because you sent the maintenance man to my apartment to fix one of the 15 million issues I had.

However, you did not let me know if you'd look into the financial matters. You did not tell me if King Fuckhead would be more polite. You did not provide some lame excuse for all the crap that goes undone around here. You did not let me know if you needed any information on the cars. You did not tell me if you had a better place for me to put the crap on my porch. You did not let me know if you needed any of the information for professional purposes.

Why do I need closure? I need closure because I need to know if you are upset. When you don't respond, I can only assume that you ARE upset. Which pisses me off considering I spent 14 hours rewriting that damn letter so that it didn't upset you! So if you ARE upset over the letter than I must assume that either you are just and overly sensative BITCH or you are guilty of something I was blaming on other people.

If you're just a BITCH, then I can be a BITCH too. If you are guilty of something on my long list of complaints, then I want to be privy to that information! I feel it's only right to allow me to BLAME the correct people for the problems.

I'm trying to overlook your lack of response. I'm still getting emails from you with sweet sentiments and jokes. I haven't got any violations for the things I discussed with you. And the cops haven't knocked on my door stating that I needed to back off. So for the time being I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you just didn't have the time or didn't know what to say.

BUT I STILL NEED CLOSURE!

Guess I can always get closure at the next meeting.

Republican Gone Wrong

Okay... I'll admit it. I'm a registered Republican.
Please don't break out the ball bats yet.

And YES... I'll admit it. I voted for BUSH.
Seriously. There's no need to gather the pitch forks.

Okay, you've got me. I voted for him TWICE!
Now now. It's really not necessary to get that rope out.

And yes, if I could go back, I'd do it again!
C'mon, please put the guns away.
Oh, what a relief. By the time you find the key to unlock your trigger lock and ammo box to load your gun, I'll be miles from here.

But seriously, I'm just kidding.

Despite being born, raised, and permanently branded as a Republican, I'm not ashamed to say that half the people I voted for in 2004 were Democrats. How can I deny that our Democratic, female governor is wonderful?

That being said, I'm here to come clean. I've never had intentions of voting for a Republican candidate this year. But look at my choices.

All of our Republican candidates strongly supported the senseless deaths of soldiers in Iraq. All of our candidates are totally pro-life. All of our candidates are against civil unions.

I think there are better places to be using our military force. I have nothing against us being at war. The U.S. has been in some kind of military altercation for most of our history. I just think our time would be better spent focusing on more important matters than Iraq.

While I personally could not have an abortion, I fully support a woman's right to choose. I am torn on the subject because I feel we do not give men that option, and we do not allow them to have a say in whether the woman takes that action. However, I once overheard a teenage boy say "It's really quite simple. I figure if the woman owns 51% of the stock, she has the right to sell!" While I fully support the Pro-Choice side of this arguement, don't think if you're one of those women who's had multiple abortions that I won't tell you to your face to keep your damn legs closed.

As far as civil unions go, it's a pretty simple matter. The only argument against gay marriage is in the Bible. Our government is supposed to be separate from the Bible. Therefore, when you take out any religious argument against the matter, there is no argument. I think that gays have every right to get married. Why shouldn't they be allowed to be miserable like the rest of us?

Beyond these matters, you have all those other HOT TOPICS (I love that store).

Global warming. YES! It exists! While I don't know the cause, I have no doubt we can definately do things to help.

Gun control. It's called good AIM where I come from. Teach your children about gun safety.

Taxes. I'm used to them. We manage to run a household with 2 adults and 1 child off of less than $15,000 and the only assistance we recieve is health coverage and WIC for our daughter. Three months a year, our income drops low enough to get us a break on our rent. The rest of the time we manage to feed ourselves, pay our bills (including 2 cell phones, cable & internet). We keep insurance on 4 vehicles, and still find money to set aside for special occasions and our daughter's college fund! If you can figure out how we've managed to do that without driving ourselves into debt, maybe we could write a handbook for our government's financial advisors to go by.

ANYWAY... where was I. Oh, the election.

I'm here to make a huge CONFESSION!

I will NOT be voting for a Republican president. And unfortunately, considering the candidate pool, it will have nothing to do with who is the better candidate. Much like the last election. I am simply out to find the egotistical politician who will do the least amount of damage to a country that I want to be proud to live in.

If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, I will vote for her. First, because she supports many of the causes that I support. However, I disagree with her views on many other matters and I don't think she will do anything that will benefit me. Secondly, when I'm 80, I want to be able to say that I DID vote for the first woman president.

If Obama wins, I will vote for him. First, because he supports many ideas I believe in. Again, I do disagree with many economic matters and I'm not sure his views will do anything to benefit me.

That being said, I'm glad that I was registered Republican for this election. It was easy to decide how I would handle the primaries. My choices were DUMB ASS, DUMB ASS#2, and DUMB ASS #3. Therefore, I decided it didn't matter because one DUMB ASS was as bad as the next.

If I were Democrat, it would have had a harder time. One one hand there is my "proud to see a powerful woman who can take charge" part. On the other hand there is my "glad to see someone from a single-parent family taking charge" part. My conclusion is that if I were given the chance to have a say in the Democratic nomination, I would choose Obama.

I think that Obama has the best chance of winning the presidency. He has no past political baggage (i.e. Bill). While his views are similar to Hillary's in many senses, he is not nearly as extreme on the matters. Add into the matter than African American males almost always recieve their rights and freedoms before women. I'm not trying to imply anything bad about that, just that the right-winged idiotic hillbillies will cave to racial issues before they'll give up something to their bare-foot and pregnant wives. And since we all know there are still too many of those people in our society, we do have to take it into perspective because they have the right to vote like the rest of the intellegent population.

So YES! This Republican has gone BAD! I'm clicking on the wrong side of the monitor this year. Daddy Dearest will surely be breaking out the bottle of champagne over it. He'll probably run around the house laughing like a maniac whispering "Come to the Dark Side. We have cookies!!"

But don't get your hopes up yet. I am not yet fully converted. The dark side is going to have to do better than cookies. Now cookies and RUM... that might do it. Throw in a full night of undesturbed sleep and I'm SOLD!!

F*** YOU and YOUR KID!!

It is YOUR job to raise your children right. It is NOT my job to change my lifestyle so that your child is not exposed to things you do not like. I wish we could see that teaching children through ignorance is not effective. If you teach your children about sex by pretending there is no such thing, your child will be unaware of pregnancy issues, STD's, and rape. This puts your child at a disadvantage in life. STOP teaching with magic erasers and START teaching by example and information.

Whether or not, I as a stranger, quit smoking is not going to be the deciding factor in whether your child starts smoking. And if your child overhears me swear, you'll have to whip out that nasty old NO word if they repeat me. You do not get to infringe on my CIVIL RIGHTS and my FREEDOM OF SPEECH simply because you're afraid that your child may be traumatized by a four-letter word.

If you want to have the rights of your child infringed upon so that they see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil, then I suggest you move to a third-world communist country where they shoot you in the street for such minor infractions. Let your child witness the horrors of war, starvation and political repression. Maybe then the F-word won't seem like such a big deal.

This Wonderful Ride

I sit here in silence and take it all in
The light in her eyes, the smell of her skin
And the days come and then go by
So quickly they fade in a blink of an eye
And it's plain to see life isn't the same
When I watch this girl I gave my name
She smiles, and laughs and takes it all in
And someday I'll be happy to do it again
But right now I'm content to sit by her side
And simply enjoy this wonderful ride
2007-K. Anderson

Inside my heart

To my love,

If I could put the pen to page
I'd tell you of my loving rage
This fire deep inside my heart
That begs for us to never part
I'd tell you all the fears inside
Of loves that fade and hearts that died
I'd show you how I bleed for you
And put my soul in all I do
I'd offer up my final breath
To sooth you once before my death
I'd give you all I have in me
If for one moment you could see
That all I am and all I've known
Depends upon this love we've grown
With all my love, for all my life
Inside my heart, I am your wife
2007 - K. Anderson
