Finally had time to write...

Guess what? I've been in Georgia the past couple of days. We had a hectic weekend at the club where I actually had to come out of retirement and work the door. I gotta thank James for being there to move traffic swiftly during a packed house. This guy still amazes me after all this time. Next time you see a 250 lb 5 ft 9 bodybuilder don't stereotype him as being a dumb ass. James is a world class guy and was number 1 last year in competition . Plus he's working at the hospital. Plus he will take anyone out I don't have time for . Anyway, back to the Georgia trip. We left after working nonstop Friday and Saturday night at the club. The drive to Atlanta sucks. And what sucks even more is the echo in my head of the damn words "We From the A.T.L." and "dirty south" etc. I wonder if there are any other people tired of the damn Atlanta rap shit that has been worn out the last 8 months? Well I went to the laser show at Stone Mountain. Kinda cool , but corny at the same time. Lots of silly laser drawn cartoons on the side of a mountain. Patriotic crap everywhere. Kind of scary. The best country to live in is the USA but my folks always told us that shit because they came here as kids. Then after September 11 , every white trash idiot who'd been singing "the south's gonna rise again" and "if the south would have won" decided to drop the damn rebel flag for an American one. Now remeber how Lynard Skynard and Charlie Daniels and all these other redneck fucks praised the rebel flag all these years? Then you have Lynard Skynard coming out with "Red White and Blue" this year. And remember how bad rednecks said New York City was ? Like if you got killed there you deserved it because it was the "big city"? These people talked shit about city life and fuck the American flag all these years while featuring rebel flags on their album covers . But when they can make a profit off "big ole New York city" and "old glory" then here come the corny ass songs. Now one thing I noticed on the laser show is how they removed the rebel flag in the civil war battle scene. There was just this blank fucking flag on the south side. This shit is stupid. "Oh let's erase a God damn historical flag on a picture because it might offend some people." Maybe they should put warning labels on aspirin because some black guy might be offended having to pull cotton out of the bottle. OK here's a question for today : What if Martin luther King had a big scandal where his reputation was ruined? Like someone found out he was a serial killer or child molester or somthing ? Would they take his name off all the streets or take his holiday off the calendar ? Just wondering. This shit is stupid . History is history . We are going so damn far to please everyone that a straight person who loves his country and goes to work and pays taxes has no real voice anymore. And if you happen to be a black person who does all these things you're downed as not being "real" . On one hand black people say they don't want to be labeled as materialistic or thugs or criminals , or dancers and entertainers for the masses. But when a black person tries to be anything else the black community calls then an "uncle tom" or a "sellout". Every black man I am involed with has to have a certain amount of "street credibility " to be accepted. Now maybe some of these "racism experts" should look into this . Maybe the enemy of the American flag and the black man all come from within...
