Long time, no see

It's been quite a while since my last post, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to jot some things down. SO much has happened since my last post, it may take a while!

First and foremost, I have re-established a relationship with my son. He left for Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB on March 9. While at the MEPS station in Little Rock, the entire Porter clan showed up for the same reason I was there. However, after Trevor's swearing in and his subsequent departure, I asked the entire group to speak with me outside--in an attempt to try to repair the cluster fuck they had made of my children's' lives. They shunned my daughter because she 'chose' to live with me and showered my son with gifts and material shit to buy his silence. Silence from what, you ask? I would love to say it, but social etiquette keeps me from it. Venture to say...it wasn't anything good.

So anyways, after making my request, the red-headed pig slut, Charlotte, stomped out, saying she had nothing to say to me or "that girl", referring to my daughter--her niece. Her father then began spouting out obscenities and garbage and posturing like he was some bantam rooster. But, as my ex-wife and her sister, Robin, began shouting at them, it became clear how it had all played out. Trevor's head was a mess because of the hatred spewed forth from those obscenely overweight, useless protoplasmic asshats. He couldn't win, regardless of what he did. Now that he's moved on (and moved OUT), that seems to have changed almost overnight. This is truly a great thing. And because karma has been on my side lately, I shan't wish bad things on those who choose to remain angry. I believe that their karma will take care of them in fine fashion. Then again, God has pity on fools and drunks...and these morons don't drink...

Next development is, UALR has decided to release me from employment due to budget cuts. They can build a $30 million building, but can't pay my measly salary? I smell a rat, and its name is Obama...but I digress. I have some very hot leads going on, one of the best being at St. Vincent Hospital--right down the street! My potential supervisor would be my mentor, Don Rehak, a guy that I spent a tremendous amount of time with, picking his brain and learning everything I could about computers. He got me started and showed me the ropes in an 'intern' sort of fashion, paying me a meager $50 a week. But, the benefits of that internship have kept me afloat for the last 15 years. My hopes are that it works out and I'll once again be working with him. More on that in my next post--advising as to where I landed.

Other than that, we're just status quo. The remodeling job has now gone on for two full years, leaving a portion of the house in disrepair for the entire time. The kitchen is 97% complete, the dining room is about 90% complete, but Madison's bedroom is left--and it's the least work of all! Money is the factor, and unstable work status isn't conducive to running up a big tab at Lowe's. Once I'm settled back into employment, we'll wrap it up and move on to the next project. Gads...two years?!

We recently celebrated our 5-year anniversary on February 27, and a half-dozen March birthdays, including Leslie's on March 31. It's been a busy time, even if it doesn't seem like it! So, with that said, I'll close out. Summer is coming, and so are the $400 electric bills. Oh, joy...

Until next time...

The end of 2009

Wow...what a year 2009 has been. Lots of 'big ticket' celebs die, the US is being led to Socialism by an inept and embarrassment of a President, and, perhaps best of all, the Colts are rolling at 14-0. An odd mixture of events there, but that's the way I see it.

It's no secret that Obama, hereafter referred to as 'The Exalted One', was put into office by a bunch of ignorant lemmings that knew nothing more than he was something other than Bush. Would McCain be a change? Sure...he's not Bush. However, because of the media and Oprah, we have this idiot running arguably the most powerful country in the world. And he's doing a very poor job. His performance ratings are dropping with each passing day, and those who worried about McCain being a 'war monger' now see that The Exalted One is sending even more troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. War monger? Hmmm...who's the war monger now?

Karma brings it home

If you're coming here looking for trouble, try again.

First off, if you have a beef, you take it up with ME. Leave my lovely bride out of it.

Second, there is this thing called the Bill of Rights. Please take note:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

In other words, BACK OFF. I can say what I want, so long as it is TRUTHFUL. With that said...here's the post:


OK, so anyone that is close enough to me knows that we've been in the midst of a lawsuit against a real asshole that Leslie worked with. In a fit of sexism-induced rage, he pushed her out of the way, sending her sprawling across the floor, and injuring her. The attorney had been paid. The date for trial had been set. We were simply waiting. Then, it happened...

Dr. Chukwuma Justin Obiagwu, 55, of Pine Bluff died Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009.

The son of a bitch died. He DIED! Now, we're out $2500 for an attorney, not to mention a year and a half of this bullshit court litigation and our medical expenses. So, rest in HELL, you son of a bitch. May you get all the pain and suffering you deserve.

Long time coming

Yeah, it's been a long time since my last post. I have been INCREDIBLY busy--remodeling, new semester starting, teaching a class of college freshmen, no work-study students to help me out with my 4 computer labs, new building on campus...and the list goes on. So, I'll take a few minutes to jot something down and throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks.

Mr. Obama. Wow. What can a guy say? Let me see if I can come up with a few one-word descriptions....idiot, anti-Christ (ok, 2 words), Socialist, uninformed, un-American (or anti-American)...and that's just 30 seconds worth of thinking. Give me a couple more words or a couple more minutes and I'll come up with more. This guy has NO concept of what the hell he's doing, yet there are still lemmings in his ever-shrinking popularity pool who still choose to follow him and his dumbass ideas right off the cliff. Given two full terms--and assuming someone doesn't off him--this country would be a full-fledged Socialist union. And yes, there would still be idiots that felt as though this was the "right" way.

Well, no way, Mr. Obama...Osama...whatever you are. I'll go out on a limb and call it like I see it while I still have my First Amendment rights. You area complete and total idiot. Your ideas were tired before you attempted to ram them down our throats and railroad them through the House, Congress and anyone else, and you have no plan for escaping this cesspool of an economy that you claim you inherited from GWB. Want comparisons? OK, here are just a few:

• If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
• If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
• If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
• If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
• If George W. Bush had misspelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?
• If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
• If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
• If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
• If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.

And, for those of you who thought "Cash for Clunkers" was a great idea, here's what you didn't count on--the truth.

• A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline.
• A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.
• So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
• They claim 700,000 vehicles sold – so that's 224 million gallons / year.
• That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil. 5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day's US consumption.
• And, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at $75/bbl.
• So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million.

How good a deal was that?

So, my closing comment is simple. He's YOUR President. I didn't elect this fool, nor do I support any of his actions. He's a boil on the ass of the world's political leadership, and he should be lanced before any more TAXPAYER money is mismanaged.

Until next time (if the Constitution holds)...

2009: The Year of the Celebrity Death

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, David Carradine, Billy Mays, Bea Arthur, Karl Malden, Natasha Richardson...just a few of the celbs who have died so far this year. BIG names, I tell you! And some of these people were so young--50 these days is not a terminal age, yet several of those I've listed died at that age. What a waste.

Rest in peace, celebs...you don't know me, but you've been in my house many times. I shudder to think what lies ahead for this deadly year.
