You know how with FaceBook, some old friend, lover, or even a relative can pop up out of nowhere? Some good, some bad, some embarrassing, speaking for myself anyway. Earlier this week I got a "friend request" like that. The back story. During the Vietnam war, my uncle was stationed in Kaiserslautern, Germany. He fell in love, got married and lived there, for awhile. Being just a kid at the time, I remember wondering what the hell a "Kaiseslautern" was.
He was an artist, an American artist in Germany, and he found quite a bit of success there. It sounds like the perfect, romantic love story. American boy meets German girl, they fall in love and live happily ever after. Well, it's not quite the way it turned out, and it was unfortunate. This brief story is the result .
My Uncle Ted was "The Man" in my eyes. He was my fathers younger brother, a multi-sport athlete in high school, and he excelled in all of them. He was my idol. The classic small town teenager and star athlete, so of course he had a way with the ladies too. My definition of "Cool".
My memories of Ted were two fold. Before he left, and the return home. Before he was drafted I recall our fishing trips to the dam on Lake Tyler, which happened to be where he introduced me to chewing tobacco, and cigarettes. The greatest all occurred many years later in Galveston, Texas, but that's another story. I do remember the holidays when we would all be together. The most significant early memory was when he was preparing to leave for war. We we're at my grandmothers home in" Wilmer - Hutchins", a small town just south of Dallas. My grandmothers house was on a hill overlooking interstate 45. In those days with no a/c , we would spend a lot of time outdoors on the porch. We enjoyed the breeze and spent time talking and watching the big rigs passing in the distance. I can still clearly remember those sounds and smells. It was in the late 60's and the war was beginning to wind down. Still, soldiers were dying and my Grandmother was a widow about to send her youngest child to war. Even I could feel anxiety at the thought of something happening to Ted.
After basic training, Ted was stationed in Kaiserslautern. Our news came by letter to my grandmother or the occasional long distance phone call to my Dad. He had met a woman, and they were to be married. We were all excited and everyone was so happy for Ted. The chance to meet her took much longer than we anticipated. They did not come back to the states immediately after he was discharged. I'm not sure how long it was before we met Bridgett (Not her real name), but they did come visit us.
When I met her, it was adolescent lust, I immediately had a huge crush on her and her accent. She was absolutely gorgeous. The marriage started off well, Ted worked for Bridgett's father who owned a construction company and things were going fine. It was his creative side, and his early interest in sketch, oil paint and water color, that prompted a new path. His hobby became business. Success followed and one thing led to another. Eventually they opened an art gallery and began to travel all over Europe. I later learned that Ted had a become a European celebrity of sorts, and maybe this was the beginning of the end.
Their divorce was the first in my family, ever. Sooooo, how does he respond? I heard stories of three day parties and weeks that disappeared on train rides. As I grew older and we became close, he would confess to heavy drinking binges and and blackouts, but never any explicit details. All in all, he never really explained anything. He had remarried a wonderful woman who loved him and cared for him and the past was the past.
Upon the the move back from Germany to Houston, I noticed a difference in Ted right away, like he was preoccupied or something. Little did I know, that he was suffering a broken heart, or my conclusion anyway, he never told me what happened or why. He just stumbled through the rest of life with little or no excitement, no drive. We still had some great times but it was not the same. I tried a few times, when we would be sitting in a boat fishing and drinking beer, to get him to tell me about Bridgette, but he never would. I asked him if he was still in love her, as I thought he was. He would never confirm or deny, he just managed to change the conversation.
My recent encounter on FaceBook brought all these thoughts and emotions roaring back. Never has anyone made me laugh like my uncle Ted, I have so many fond memories of him. I would have done anything to ease his pain, but was never able to. Ted died in 2003 of heart failure, hmmmm? His wife called me, and when I arrived she was there alone with Ted, no coroner or police or ambulance. I walked into the small home cluttered with Ted's art supplies and paintings, and made my way to their bedroom. He was lying on his left side with his arms folded and he looked very peaceful, almost as if he were in deep thought about an art project or what was, and what might have been.
One day I hope to make a trip to Kaiserslautern, to speak with Bridgett, and see first hand what so inspired my uncle. The place where he began to fulfill a young mans dreams of love, beauty and passion. There is no doubt he loved it there, and had things been different, I am sure he would have remained. Life is funny. If I'm lucky, maybe I can visit, and experience my uncle again. I knew him well and I loved him, but I wish I could have understood him better. I look forward to time spent in a small smoke filled "biergarten" in Kaiserslautern, left to my own thoughts and imagination. Get a better insight on my uncle, the ghosts of yesterday and the possibilities for tomorrow.

Michelle Obama, in my opinion.
I tell you what, I could have really drawn this out. Please keep in mind this is my opinion based on my observation of the Obama administration. I decided just to make it as brief as possible, and tell you my thinking about Michelle Obama. Strong, articulate and driven? For certain! On the surface, an angry black woman? Absolutely! Opinionated, vain and unattractive? Yes, yes and perhaps, not overly attractive, not "butt ugly" either. Fashion Icon? Role Model? UH NO! Who ever gave her these titles needs a bitch slap, a written reprimand and a memo to the department! The woman is very intelligent, in fact she tutored her hubby at one point.... Red flag? We are told she was born in Chicago, and you can make an interesting case for that being a bad sign, at least politically. That is if you lean towards truth, honesty and integrity. A very rare commodity in Chicago politics. She had to walk up hill, in the snow, to school.... both ways.... er whatever.
College, it was Princeton, and Sociology and African American studies, yep, for real. Giggle giggle. Starting to get the picture? Graduated Cum Laude, not the best of the best, anger builds. She opposed the very class that she aspired to become, what is wrong with this picture? According to Wickipedia, in July 2008,"Obama accepted the invitation to become an honorary member of the 100-year-old black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, which had no active undergraduate chapter at Princeton when she attended". (Can you imagine Laura Bush accepting a membership to a "White Sorority")? Besides, sounds a bit elitist to me, and something she claims to disdain. If most of your life has been spent with issues of "in service" to others, helping the poor and needy, and pontificating about changing social issues and norms for the greater good of our country. What happened when you got to the Whitehouse? Did you forget? Sounds like fraud to me.
I for one am tired of hearing about our great 1st lady. Please!!! Look at the amount of tax dollars she has spent on entertainment and travel. That's a real eye opener, and if you think about it, it is probably much, much more. Again, what was that about the poor? I digress, she is the dominant partner in the marriage and she is the brains of the family. I think she is the main influence on most of our "Obama Policy". I look forward to all of the books that are starting to come out now, and so far their insight is a sad first legacy, of the 1st Black Family. How's that for change.
It seems to me that MO hates to lose at anything. She was ashamed of America before BO was elected, how does she really feel now? The election of 2008 sold many people on idealistic change, of which zero was accomplished. I admit it sounded good, but so much of it was/is unreal. I voted for McCain or better, against Obama. What has the Obama administration changed? They were able to bring racism back to the forefront, and that has divided this country terribly. They tanked the economy with outlandish spending, and for laughs apologized for America and all of our country's... faults. They went against the popular vote on damn near everything. That my friends is not democracy at work. Honestly I know of no positive thing that this administration has done. Oops, I take that back. It has caused Americans of all walks of life to become more involved in politics. Grass roots organizations of all types have sprung up and are involved, to that I say thank you. Yawn.
2012, election year. I think Obama supporters were able to sabotage Herman Cain's election campaign. Why? MO hates to lose. Now as the left tries to manipulate the voting options of the right, we're seeing the Whitehouse in panic mode. I look for it to get increasingly ugly the closer we get to November. Starting to night with BO's state of the union address. For the rest of the year we will hear BO taking bows for anything that is even remotely successful in America. MO will push him in every area, because she's accustomed to being the "Great American Queen". In the end, all of those lied to in 2008 will remember. Single term president, and as I have stated before, Jimmy Carter will be elated. Because of this embarrassment, not only are they the first, black "1st Family", but may also become the first divorced, black, 1st family. How apropos. Michelle Obama in my opinion, is a racist sellout, but not the first. Confusing? Not really.

Leonard Pitts : On Religion.... yeah right!
I cannot believe that Leonard Pitts, one of the greatest proponents of racial hate and intolerance is coming to Houston. Guess what he will be speaking on? Religion in the 2012 election, hahahahaha. This guy, has nothing to offer. The symposium is free while you will be expected to pay $20.00 for the pleasure of hearing him speak at "Congregation Emanuel El" later that same evening, go figure.
If you've read any of his work, and obviously people other than myself have. He is racist, anti white and liberal/progressive. To find out that he actually claims membership to a house of worship boggles my mind. At least it did until I saw that it was called "African Methodist Episcopal Church", had it been called "Caucasian Methodist Episcopal Church", he would have taken a different approach, trust me on that. For myself, I don't want to be taught "religion", I want to be taught the bible, and I feel I know the difference.
Unfortunately, it's people like this guy that have so many people screwed up and missing out on so much. If your interested in this jack ass, google him, you will be surprised. He will not respond to the challenge, all he will do is follow the cash, it's the season to be opinionated and he's well payed for his opinion. He manipulates his own people for monetary gains, while he so brazenly points to the white man as the oppressor and manipulator, in short, he is a fraud.
If you would like, you can find earlier pieces I have written on Mr. Pitts in this Blog. Once again, another hindrance to improving American race issues, along the lines of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Rev. Wright. The greatest thing to know is that "the truth shall set you free", no that is not a Martin Luther King quote, it is the Gospel of John, chapter 8, verse 32. However the quote I would offer to Mr. Pitts, is one of Abraham Lincoln's, "I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends". Try that one on for awhile and maybe you can make a difference.

Who Is Sophia Bush? One Tree Hill?
Ok, I will be the first to admit I have never heard of Sophia Bush, for a second I even thought she might be related to the other "Bush" family.... W-R-O-N-G!! This was the final paragraph in a story on FOX about her.
“I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can 'pray away the gay,' I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do, I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it's okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean,” she added. “I'm afraid for our country that people like this (current Republican candidates) could even be thought of as the president. I live in a country where I believe all men are created equal, not just wealthy white guys. I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights. If that's not where our country is going, then I'll leave. I don't need to live here. I'm out! I'll go to Canada, peace! See you later.”
Hey what about wealthy black guys? You already forget about the candidate you supported and campaigned for? Hey Sophia, Obozo won, hear me? He won. So, puh-lease don't let the door hit ya in the ass on your way out. America could use less ill informed quitters like yourself, might be a little harder to earn your "change" in Canadian television and film, and that economy up there, Eh? Oh, and we invite ya back when you grow up and have something important to say. Hhahahahahehehehe

House Bill 3261 and S968 , and censorship, my opinion.
The loudest voices, are the ones you hear screaming censorship. It's kinda like a chain joke, you know where it starts with the 1st person, and by the time it makes a complete loop the content is jumbled and not even close to the initial story line. Those hollering censorship are the ones who have not read HB3261, however with S968, I am opposed, due to the lack of due process for any accused site. Due process is what the USA is built upon and it figures that a Vermont democrat would try to unhinge that aspect. It also has had something like 36 revisions, that in itself is red flag.
First of all let me state that I am vehemently opposed to any form of censorship, the government has already gotten away with that, and trust me, the open records act doesn't do shit for us. The law enforcement agencies will always want an unfair advantage and always remember "absolute power corrupts absolutely". I am for retooling the house bill and for complete rejection of S968.
I have been burned by sites on the net and lost money with out any possible form of reimbursement. I would like to find a way to stop it, but that's like trying to stop crime, it's gonna happen. My suggestion would be that any form of commercial web site have proper documentation/registration or some way to hold the ownership accountable. Right now that is impossible to do. For the auction type of sites, I would say buyer beware/seller beware. You know the risk and ask yourself to what extent your willing to take it.
All in all we need less government in our lives, I am opposed to pedophiles and sex offenders, but I also feel that any one that visits a porn site has the right to privacy, I don't think the govt should be able to listen in on my phone calls and read my emails with out a court order/ warrant. Then think about the lawsuits that either of these bills will eventually generate. The truth is, the only winner in either of these as they are currently written, are the lawyers. So ask yourself, "am I good with this"? In the end you need to contact your representative either way. For the people and by the people. You want to have a say, get involved, because it is all about "we the people".

In response to Kathleen Parker
Happy Sunday to everyone, even you Kathleen. The weather is great and all is well! I just had to cut and paste the text body of my email to Kathleen Parker, columnist for the Washington Post. I saw it in today's Houston Chronicle, the daily leftist rag we are stuck with here in H - Town. So with out further B.S. here is how I responded.
" Ms. Parker,
I hope you never fall out of your ivory tower. I am a blogger and I have emailed you before, you know, stuck my head out of the "cowardly comfort of my subterranean wormhole", with no response I might add. Your defense of MO is both predictable and sad. Looks like a bribe for a favor to me. Maybe you will get an invite to the next "Mad Hatter". Good luck to both you and Leonard Pitts on pointing out the continued "white racism" that keeps our great country from moving forward. Your sad and pathetic and to smart to recognize that fact. Quite frankly, I fail to see how you make a living with the drivel you write. The obozo era is about to end, and their socialist platform which you support. Yeah I know, go grab a vodka and a smoke, I know you need one about now. Happy New Year! The Carte..... er obozo era is dead!
Ron Sizemore
Houston, Texas (go ahead blame the South)
AKA

Swamp, USA"
I have never read a column by Ms. Parker where I thought, wow this makes sense, nice job. On the other hand, when Pitts isn't slingin his white hatred, he can write some very articulate pieces. I just think he could be touching many more people, if he were race neutral. Unfortunately, that will not sell news papers, which that and money are what it is all about anyway.
Just some thoughts.

Romney don't know Schmitt!
How bad can it get? Have ya ever read the bible.........? Sitting here eating twizzlers and slammin "Miller High Life", doin the reflective thang. It seems like so much weird shit has happend this past year. Now here in an election year haze and an alcohol buzz, I can't remember shit. Why???? It takes courage to spill your inner most thoughts onto a digital format. Not to mention that my "thoughts" are not generic mainstream.
2012
I am not one to usually go "all crazy" on New Years resolutions, having said that, I'm gonna make one. I resolve to be less volatile this year. Yeah, it might be stupid to try it in an election year but WTH? It will be interesting.
Moving on.... I CANNOT believe that Schmitt Romney is leading the pack, mr. teflon head. Between him and Rick Perry, they are a hairdressers wet dream. Can you say helmet head? I tell you what, since the burnout of Mr. Cain, all of these caucuses (doesn't that sound like a dirty word? Go wash your caucus) are just silly. Funny how states like New Hampshire and Massachusetts are in the forefront. Tell ya the truth, I don't think any of the people in the North Eastern seaboard states, really have an inkling about the rest of the US. Sorry folks but that is my gut feeling. Why? Because they are not population growth centers. I was in a retail store and talking to a woman from Massachusetts. She was in Spring shopping and had visited some areas in Northwest Houston and outlying suburbs. Her comment was that she had NEVER seen anything like the growth and construction going on. She was totally unaware, TOTALLY! So, my point is my good people. If all you know is what you hear or read from the mainstream media, I am positive I do NOT want you having any defining role in my future, period...end of story.
Manipulation is the name of the game for the media. I am here to tell you that the left are in the middle of a manipulative war. Obozo is a lame duck already, the rats are fleeing and as I predicted earlier, the "tell all" books about the scum in the Whitehouse are starting to appear. These people on the left are very intelligent, they have NO ethics or moral compass, but they are extremely intelligent.
So what am I trying to say? Ok, they are trying to convince the GOP who the best candidate is to run against Obozo. Yes they are doing so through the media. Cain was a perfect example, he scared the hell out of them. He is black, articulate and experienced with business savvy. He had his own ideas and a strong personality, you know, everything Obozo is not. The thing with Cain were the accusations. I absolutely have no idea if he was guilty, obviously something occurred or there would have been no "settlements". The media knows that if something is printed or aired enough times, the public starts to believe it as truth. Such is the sad story of Herman Cain, his family was being destroyed by what the media suggested. There is no accountability in the media, zero, and that is unfortunate. I don't blame Cain for withdrawing, family is beyond all, it's just a shame that we lost out on the chance of great leadership with core values.
Truth be told, the conservative field is about as thin as the hair on my head. I really do not have a candidate at this time. I know it will not be Romney, I doubt it will be Perry, Paul is a question mark and and Huntsman, just plain old hell no. Paul concerns me though and I do not know enough about Santorum. I guess right now all I can say is, God help us!
