For every asshole in the world there are ninety nine wonderful people. Being an asshole makes you stick out more. Wonderful people don’t bring attention to themselves. This is the reason the world seems so negative these days. All the attention is going to the assholes.
The Age of the Asshole started in the early nineteen nineties and has grown stronger into the new millennium.
I watch the network news at 5:30 every evening. Thirty minutes of news, twenty nine minutes of bad news and the last minute of the show with a feel good story.
We get pummeled with war, murder, scandal and politics for twenty nine minutes. The world’s shitshow has been thrown in our face and then they give us a slight look into the good of humanity.
I don’t know why I watch the local and network news so religiously?
Well, yes I do!
Because my Oldman watched the news every night. My dad also read the Trib and Sun Times when they cost thirty five cents. Those papers were as big as your sisters ass….35 cents!
One of the guys at work brought a Sun Times in on Thursday and Friday so we had the spreads for the NCAA.
Two Bucks! Two Bucks for something smaller than my high school paper.
The Age of Asshole has put bad news at our fingertips, but I say the bad news stops right here..... right now.
Time to make the world with twenty nine minutes of positive humanity. Then save that last minute for some asshole who didn’t use his directional when he was turning into The Jewels parking lot.
It’s Saint Joseph’s Day… Before we get to the Italians, let the Christians give thanks to a Jewish carpenter. A Jewish carpenter who married a pregnant teenager and helped her raise a radical kid.
Now the Italians…. Today is a day of Faith for them, but also a day surrounded with Family and Friends.
Do you see where I’m going with this?
F:F,F,F
That’s right…. Today is a day we build the FOUNDATION with FAITH, FAMILY and FRIENDS.
But these "Eye"talians take it a step further and add an extra “F” today……. FOOD!
Oh and is it wonderful!
How great was this weekend?
The Irish had their holy day on a Friday and the Italians get their holy day on a Sunday. It’s fitting because Friday is a great day to over indulge in whiskey and beer. Sunday is a great day to feast on gravy and pasta.
Happy Saint Joseph’s Day… Happy Sunny Sunday and Happy Sweet Sixteen Sunday.
Work hard to end the Age of the Assholes. Do your share to end this dark chapter in humanity.
I will leave you with an earworm….
“This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Aquarius, Aquarius…. And love will steer the stars.”
