Bill Cosby “I’m 83 and Tired” I’ve worked hard since I was 17. Except for when I was doing my National Service, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn’t call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I’m tired. Very tired. I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers”; Muslims burning schools for girls; Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery”; Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to. I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and Madrasa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance.. I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off? I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. I’m really tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. I’m also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20’s be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government. Yes, I’m damn tired. But I’m also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughter and their children. Thank God I’m on the way out and not on the way in. There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference. “I’m 83 and I’m tired. If you don’t agree you are part of the problem!

“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained… now everywhere is war.”

12/14/2012- This day….


20 kids were killed (18 died at the scene 2 died at the hospital) 6 adults were killed including the principle and the Shooter’s Mother. He killed his mother then went to the school where she worked and opened fire on her class and another class.

And of course he killed himself when he was done. Which they all do when shootings like this happen. I’m not surprised. It’s all planned. Disturbed, depressed, troubled, whatever you wanna call it, they arent so fuckin far gone that they don’t know or understand the consequences of their actions. This is why they choose to kill themselves. It’s one more “Fuck you” to the world & the families who have lost loved ones. So that we can’t force them to be held accountable for what they’ve done. Fucking crazy ass coward. How could he? How could anyone? These were little kids! Sorry I’m yelling and cursing. I’m just… I don’t know.

It’s just getting crazier and crazier. these past 2 years alone with shootings at schools, churches and other public places.

My heart is just hurting. When I picked up my son today from school, all I kept thinking about was all those parents who wont be bringing their children home with them tonight. And the kids who survived but had to witness such an evil horrific act. How they are going to be affected by this. And for what? Why? So that some fucked up 20 year old can prove a point that only makes sense in his world?

Now I’m a firm believer in God. In Jesus Christ and HIS word. But when things like this happen my head and heart can’t help but to wonder or question why? What is the purpose of this? How could anything good possibly come of it? How could anyone even begin to consider to forgive the one who committed such an act?

mentalmeanderings: These images are just so heart-wrenching.  This one is by far one of the saddest.When I think about the parents of the 18 children killed at this horrible incident in Newtown, Connecticut this morning, I can’t help but cry.  Those parents rushed to the school to pick up their children and bring them home to safety, only to watch other parents find their children while they waited to be told their children wouldn’t be coming out.  Those parents will have to live with the pain of knowing their young children went to school like any other morning but will never be coming home again.  Those parents will have to go home and see their child’s bedroom, knowing they won’t be tucking them in and giving them goodnight kisses anymore.  Those parents will have to unwrap and return all the Christmas gifts they bought their children, knowing they were only a few days away from seeing the joy on their children’s faces when they opened them.My heart just feels so heavy thinking of the sorrow they will have to live with every day.  I can’t even imagine how devastating this must be, and I can only hope that I will never have to know the pain of losing a child in my own life.  My thoughts and prayers go out to those parents who had to experience it today.

Standing up as my heart is breaking..

It’s Funny….
It has been on my mind off and on. For the past two, maybe three years now, I’ve wondered when you, my beautiful best friend, would begin your journey on the road that takes you home.. Away from me, away from us. Your family. It’s so weird to me. In the back of my mind, me wondering how and when it’s going to happen.. I never thought your exit would be like this though.. Is it selfish to want to know why? Why must I miss you while you are still here with me? It’s going to be bad enough when you are physically gone.. But why do I have to watch you disappear before my very eyes?…. I miss you. I do.. It hurts when sometimes you no longer see me, but someone else while you’re looking at and talking to me. It hurts hearing you speak on things that have passed as if they just happened. Things I could never know of, because I was not here when they occured.. Yet you are forgetting me. The place I hold in your mind. In your heart.. It hurts my soul to see you, who was once so full of life, full of fight, be lost within yourself. And knowing that there is no road map or compass for me to give to you to help you find your way back home.

I have to trust, and appreciate the short time we’ve had here together.. As they say, it is all in God’s hands and I dont doubt this for a second. But when I think of what I’m losing, when I think of what I’ve already lost… Yeah I will not go there.. I don’t need a reason to be angry with God.. But I just want to understand why.. Why is it ending this way?

You were the one who kept us and everything together. You are my best friend. You always will be. This isn’t fair. There is still so much I want to say to you. What I wouldn’t give to have you understand me now.. But as much as I want you back with me, in mind as well as body, I want you pain free and rested. At peace, more than I want the selfish wants of my heart to become my reality once again… Why? Why do we pray so hard to keep those we love out of heaven? Just so that we may have more time with them here.. No matter what, you will always live through me. Your humor, your love, your truth will remain.. I promise..
I love you Granny with all that I am.. I do..

He only got to hold her for those brief hours and it was almost like he had known her forever.. He said “I thought that I knew, that I understood what love was. But I was wrong. She showed me in its purest form what love is. I will always be grateful for that”…
