Can I be proud to be Texan?

This right here is something to be concerned about.. Unless you are a Far-Right conservative, and in that case, I don't know why you're reading my blog.

Scope this out.

There are 2 things that really freak my out about this..

-The board removed Thomas Jefferson from the curriculum, replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin.

Thomas Jefferson was the principle author of THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and 1 of the most influential Founding Father's of our Country.

Who is John Calvin?

I really cannot think of the words I need to write because I am in such disbelief right now. Christian Evangelicals and Far-Right Conservatives are trying to re-write American History filled with Propaganda.

"The Board refused to require that "students learn that the Constitution prevents the U.S. government from promoting one religion over all others."

"Numerous attempts to add the names or references to important Hispanics throughout history also were denied, inducing one amendment that would specify that Tejanos died at the Alamo alongside Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. Another amendment deleted a requirement that sociology students "explain how institutional racism is evident in American society."

"Democrats did score a victory by deleting a portion of an amendment by Republican Don McLeroy suggesting that the civil rights movement led to "unrealistic expectations for equal outcomes."

Insight

I feel like I need to write something, something witty, something encouraging, something that will bring a smile to somebodies face. I can't. I'm sick and tired of things.

The News

Facebook

My Blackberry

I stay connected, I update my status, but there is nothing good. War, Hate, Drama, Scandal. What happened to the joys I had as a kid. When I could watch sports and not here about drug use? What happened to the happy stories on the news? Why do I feel that everywhere I turn someone is telling the person next to them they are wrong? This country is not proud, it's broken up into factions. Right Wing / Left Wing, Conservative / Liberal, White / Black. I'm tired of people looking at each other with disgust just because they don't agree with each other. It's terrible. Where is the love?

I'm done being positive for a bit, if you are around me, and you bring some negativity, you say something ignorant, you look at me with a disgusted look on your face, you bad mouth..

I'm going to make your mom and dad regret giving birth to you. Yall motherfucker's wanna see ugly? I got 250 pounds of straight terror, the ugliest of ug.

You ever have somebody break you down emotionally in 5 words or less? Come get some Bitch.

Effectively Communicating

I will be the first to admit that my grammar sometimes is pretty fucking terrible. I cuss way to damn much for the average person.

I am the fattest, ugliest, loudest, big fat piece of shit of anybody I know. I wanted to goto Vegas for my birthday but nobody could get along with anybody. "I can't go because so and so might go, and "if so and so goes there is gonna be a problem" blah blah blah blah blah. Fact of the matter is this, I participate. Birthday's, BBQ's, Vacations, Dinner's and Parties. Even if I don't like somebody I don't ruin if for everybody else by acting like a bitch.

With that being said, stop the texting, stop the facebooking, yall niggas got a problem with somebody or someone just ask them. It's not like its gonna be the end of the world if WE TALK IT OUT LIKE GROWN-UPS. I mean, I know it's a crazy concept, but work with me here.

Example...

There was a time in my life when me and Leigh Ann Faulkner weren't speaking, it was making motherfuckers uncomfortable. So, there I was at Rufus, Leigh and I are keeping a strong 30ft distance from each other. I had had enough, I walked my bitch ass over there and said.. "Leigh Ann, we been knowing each other way to long to not be speaking... We need to reconcile our differences like Nas did with Jigga.."

The world didn't end folks. If you know Leigh and you know me, then you know were cool as a Polar Bears toenails.

This is just 1 of my many approaches.

If you know Carlos and you know me.. Then you know we had some fistacuff's, some loud words, and few weeks of not speaking, but in the end.. Were cool..

If you know Eddie and you know me, we tell each other out loud in public places that we are gonna stab each other. It makes everybody around us uncomfortable as fuck, but thats how we make amends.

We are all getting older and some of us aint getting wiser. Let's get grown, too much hate, too much anger, too much frustration going thats causing a whole lotta wasted energy. We need to step our game up..

Bandwagoneers...

I was born in Texas, I have lived here my whole life. I love this state. I don't like motherfucker's from other states..

Now, I have enjoyed UT football most of my life. I don't necessarily like college football. I LOVE college basketball.

With that being said, I hate UT football these days. Not because the team, but because of the fairweather fans. The fact that my facebook just blew up over a VERY VERY terrible football game. UT played like 2 shades of cow shit. They didn't deserve to win that game. Colt McCoy's time management was terrible.

Let this soak in.. If you watched the Alabama/Florida game then you watched Alabama systematically destroy Florida. The number 1 team in the BCS standings. UT just played like shit and you're celebrating. You're celebrating the fact the you are about to play a VERY dominant college football team.

So, let me tell you why I'm excited. I'm excited because I LOVE Alabama football. It was January 1st 1993 and I was 10 years old. I was sitting in my living room at 3406 Hillsdale Ln in Garland, Tx and I watched George Teague (later a Dallas Cowboy, the one who knocked down TO when he was standing on the Star at Texas Stadium) chase down Miami Hurricane wide receiver Lamar Thomas and stripped the ball from him thus sealing a victory over Miami in the Sugar Bowl. Amazing.

Alabama/Texas BCS championship game. It's gonna be wonderful. Why? I have a vested interest in both teams. I will be rooting for my Crimson Tide but will not be mad if Texas wins.

Up until Vince Young single handedly beat USC to win the championship a few years ago no one was a fan of UT. Mr. Young beats USC and now everybody and their dog is a fan. This can be really annoying. Especially when it's people that have no clue about football. They have their orange shirt, their iPhone and Miller Lite. They root and cheer and have no clue what's going on. Bandwagoneer.

I'm gonna leave you with something a friend of mine said to a girl wearing UT scrubs at OTB one night..

"Do you remember the game Oregon Trail? You would have played in elementary school. Do you remember the part where you have to get the bangwagon across the river and the wheel falls off? The UT bandwagon is in the river and the wheel fell off.." -Vic
