Tick Me Off Tuesday

• Childhood obesity: Blue Cross Blue Shield BMI index say Logan is morbidly obese.  Have you seen my kid, from birth minus those chubby cheeks you can see darn near every bone in his body.  

That pic was a couple months ago too.  Honestly, I get the whole kids eat junk food and sit in front of the TV shat,

but my little dude is all muscle and no jiggle. He cannot sit still even if I were to duct tape him down.  I have threatened him with it too.  He doesn't really like fries and when we go to places like McDonald's he gets apple dippers and doesn't eat the caramel and has chocolate milk.  That is his choice, he also loves crunchy veggie and salads are the fo-zizzle to him.  Screw you to the BMI, yes there is an epidemic of fat kids, but my kid is not one of them.  According to his doctor Logan is in the 45% for weight, so who do we believe the Govenment standard or our won eyes?

• On the subject of kiddos, you really want to piss me off side with Hollyweid on the it's ok to rape a kid.  It is just wrong.  I am a shining example of how being molested as a child can adversly effect you.  Sure I am not you drugged out, high risk person, but I carry the PTSD from it to this day.  So, maybe the realization that my mother knew about it and didn't give a shit may have something to do with it too. 

Try sneaking up on me once, I am likely to try to tear your face off before checking who you are.  I sleep with my eyes open for god sakes, and have defensive items strewn throughout the house.  Yep no damage here, none what so fecking ever.  THe night terrors are likely the most not fun, while having Logan had almost curbed the waking up kicking, screaming and bolting from the bed, I still have those nights. 
This article just made me once again hate everything there is to hate about Hollyweird.

• Racial/Ethnic brotherhood-Mexican restaurant First let me say, this restaurant in this next bit makes the best Mexican forod around here.  Not saying much as it's there, Taco John (aka the grease pit), and Taco Bell, oh and there is Sanchez Place too I guess, but I call it snatches place, so yea, no I don't want to go there again....Said place is run by a straight out of Mexico, legal person.  So, all your papers are legit, lets get down to it and eat!  I won't even ask if the others there are legal, unless they continuously feck up my orders and I have to send it back for a 4th time.  I said flour, hard shell, chicken taco with tomato.  Come on how many times can you mess it up?  Answer: 4, before I cave and tell you to take it off my bill.   I was willing to forgive and forget for your salsa alone.  Then one day a few weeks back I wonder in and am served by the one you call "Gringa"  yea that should have been a heads up there was trouble in my non ethnic utopia!  We shall call the poor girl "J."  J told me about your Hot red salsa, I was in love.  Not only that, my order came out correct.  She also kept the precious ambrosia like salsa flowing for me.  She was great and I went back the following week.  Again same girl, again the following week, same perfect.  I was getting into this whole lunch on my own.  Then the ball dropped, I walked into Walmart 3 weeks ago and there was J, as a Walmart greeter.  She asked if I had been to the Mexican place since last week, I told her no.  I was set to go tomorrow.  She told me she was fired.  She is a bit like me, maybe that's why I liked her, so I figured she shot off her mouth one too many times and got canned.  She informed me quite the opposite, one of the other workers there, one I know I heard refer to her as a "Ginga" had gotten into a disagreement over tips.  Somehow J's tables were being fleeced of tips, and she was sure this other person was doing it.  The owner flat out told her he would side with this other person just because they were of the same ethnic heritage.  I thought all this progressive thought shit was supposed to be embraced now that Yes, We Can is in effect.  Or was that more political bull shit, because it seems to me we are more divied then ever before. 

Embrace the cultures, language, and all her beauty.  Don't spread hate, and side on ethnic crap.  Quite honestly when you are here as a productiveleagle member of the country, I could give a shit less where you were from, you are here now and you are an American. Moral of the rant:  Our Ethnicity is nothing but what we came from, not who we are.  For the most part those in this country (leagally) are Americans.  That is what we all are here.  This stupid minority bashing/whining about being about being is bunk.  People look at those who are white supremacist as morons, why because they are white and morons? and think their Race" is the best?  News break so do other "cultures" and they are looked at as pregressive.  Sorry I'm confused.  And why is is so damn fun to tell jokes about white trash and have it publically acceptable then have to whisper about other ethnic backgrounds?  We are all countrymen, get the hell over it.  I like the fact little dude doesn't denote someones skin color/ ethnicity and plays with all the kids in his class.  P.S. I totally caved after 2 weeks of boycotting the joint and ate there last night.  I think they put crack or something in the salsa to hook you on it.
