Me... with everything

Lighthouse Homestyle Ranch is life!

Now that's something you don't see everyday

My house has a swing-set in the backyard. It gets used infrequently. At most, a handful of times this past year. My friends have children that are still babies and I have none myself. My neighbor has a few grandchildren and she asked me if I'd be interested in selling my swing-set. It's a nice set and it probably cost the previous owners a couple of mortgage payments to buy and install. I've seen sets in Costco and other big box stores for less money and encouraged my neighbor to take a look herself before making an offer on mine. Apparently they really like my set because she texted me today asking for pictures. I sent her what I had and decided to spend a few minutes looking online so I could send her some links... that's when I stumbled across the picture above. The different items this company has on their website are amazing. Plus they're on sale! This is truly the wonderland for little kids. It's swing-set pornography. I don't know who has the bank to buy something like this other than a celebrity of some sort or a trumpish capitalist pig. The pinterest for children under 10 would be full of these things (and candy!) if this company was widely known. If you're a kid and you grow up with one of these in the backyard then your next stop is going to be RKOI with a lion in the passenger seat of your 'Rarri. God bless you, little ones and the free market society as well!

As a side note, disposal of these units is a snap once the kids get older and angsty because they'll burn the thing in place during an ace of spades fueled rampage :) Grrrrrrr, I hate you mom and dad!! You ruined my life by not installing flat screens in my play-house like Blue Ivy had...

 

RIP Gene. Your movies were dope.

They must be democrats

Now that's funny.......... roflmao

Too much?

I've read more about how people are going crazy talking about Harambe than I've actually heard anyone talk or post about it. Over the last 6-8 weeks I've been present for more actual discussion about quinoa vs rice than I have for anyone speaking about Harambe. What's the problem? The memes? There were pretty awful (but hilarious) memes about the death of David Bowie and Prince. Where were the complaints?... well, aside from the people who probably couldn't name one song by either artist. I truly feel that there are too many people in this world looking to be offended. Facebook proves this point. The massacre in the Orlando nightclub as well as the deaths of black men at the hands of law enforcement had the bandwagons overflowing.

In the beginning, I kept my number of facebook friends at 5 people for months. Eventually I started accepting requests and I think the highest number I went was in the 90s. Around that time the internet exploded with drama and I started to unfriend people. Fuck your hurt feels. You're clogging my feed with bullshit that you would never discuss in person. Headlines are great, but do you read bruh'? Posting articles of opinions written by other people that you, yourself, could not possibly articulate is retarded. Any discussion is immediately deemed being attacked by people who "just don't get it."

Needless to say, after that "conversation" I went on an unfriending binge. The great purge was almost 50 people. I'm capable of loving and respecting you even though we have differences of opinion. When you "need" me to agree with you is when I "need" to stop talking to you. When the purpose of our discussion becomes that you try to "convert" me to your way of thinking then it's you who has missed the point. It's a discussion. Have a dialogue. Exchange some banter. It's about sharing information so that we all stay open minded.

Meh.

There's more to write, but it's a nice day and I'm going home to soak in the pool.

P.S. Fuck quinoa. I still think it's a made up vegetable.

Fear The Walking Dead - It's not terrible, but there is no reason to watch when an episode doesn't have a mad scramble to get out of a life and death situation from a group of flesh eating zombies. It's called "Fear The Walking Dead!" Mr. / Mrs. / Miss Producer, you need to remind me in every episode why I should fear them.

Back stories are great, but the reason why we all care about the "real show" so much is because we have a history with those characters. The Walking Dead is full of survivors. Years of struggle and close calls have endeared to us those who are still alive. Showing us the past struggle (pre-outbreak lives) of the characters in the "new show" doesn't create the same bond... 5 minutes of flashbacks can't accomplish what you're hoping for, guys / gals. Every minute spent with out a focus on surviving in a world full of flesh eating zombies is a wasted minute of air time.

Like Donald Trump, you (the writers and producers) had a "great" opportunity and you've basically blown it. Currently, there isn't much else on so you have my attention on Sunday nights, but that will change soon. Get your shit together or I'm tuning out completely... ya' heard?!

So I woke up, looked over, and was like...

*not my story. This was a "friend."
