This and That....

So it's been a pretty uneventful last couple of days. Nothing much has been going on besides the typical things...grandson has a cold, I fell on my ass in the mud....you know, normal stuff haha. Therefore, I think this blog post is going to be about some observations I have made about people lately.

People are stupid.

I'm dead serious. I witnessed an altercation a couple days ago between a few people, that involved a lot of name calling and finger pointing. One of the things being said, by all the parties involved, was an accusation of drinking and drugs. Back and forth this went on (in fact, I think it's still going on in emails, texts and facebook messages) Anyway....

What got me was the fact that it is true about all of them. Every one of them all got this holier-than-thou attitude about the other, and they are just as "guilty" if not more so than the one they were accusing! Everyone knows this, and as this was a very public argument, they all looked like fools for trying to be someone they are not. Like I said...people are stupid.

On another note, my brother-in-law Bob had a heart incident tonight and got taken by ambulance to the hospital, then immediately transported to Corvallis. If you could keep him in your thoughts and/or prayers, I would appreciate it.

Walking Dead Thoughts..

First off, if you have not seen all three seasons (Well, 2 1/2 seasons at this point) don't read any further as there will be spoilers here. That being said.....


 I can't STAND these mid season breaks The Walking Dead does. 15 more days till season 3.2 starts up (Coincidentally, that is also my youngest sons 16th birthday..yay!). They need to stop with the damn breaks and just show us the whole season at one time like most shows do. And here's hoping that Andrea gets eaten by a walker, because that character is like 20 levels of annoying. Hopefully she's with the Governor when it happens and he gets nommed up right along with her.

As my youngest son put it, "With Dale being dead, she really has no reason to be here..he's the only one who wanted her to stay alive" lol...I totally agree with him. That character is more dangerous to have around than the actual zombies. Who can forget her ignoring everyone else and accidentally shooting Daryl?!? (MmMMmm Daryl). That woman is almost as much of a menace as Lori was.

Ah, Lori. I suppose every apocalypse has to have a slut. That woman was all up on her husbands best friend  from the get go..and how smart do you have to be to have unprotected sex during a zombie apocalypse? Because, you know, it would be really cool to have a baby right in the middle of hell on earth. Nothing like a baby's wailing cries to keep you safe while your hiding. Speaking of said baby...is it Shane's or is it Rick's? And how are we going to find out who the father is, if we find out at all?

Recently it has been said that there will be even more cast death's in the last half of season 3 (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/22/the-walking-dead-deaths-season-3-spoilers_n_2526248.html?ir=TV) I don't know about any of you, but I bawled my eyes out when Dale died, and I was quite upset when T-Dog became a zombie nom. All I can say is if they kill off Daryl, I will never watch the show again. Ever. EVER. Merle, however, can go suck an egg.

Turning The Other Cheek?

So the other day on Facebook, someone had posted a status talking about a change they were making in their life and how it wasn't influenced by something someone had said to them. I knew who the person was that they were referring to and the situation, and I posted a comment. Well, someone I was friends with at one time years ago had also posted a comment before me and she got bent out of shape thinking it was her I was referring to in my comment, and wrote me a rather nasty private message about it on Facebook.

I replied and told her it was not her I was referring to, and I told her who I was indeed referring to. She then replied back that she was sorry. Now, in her original private message she had made the comment " still the same shannon i see, so fucking glad i dont have to play the game with you anymore".  And she ended that private message with "say hi to your husband for me". In essence saying she want's nothing to do with me but my husband is a cool person to talk to. Wtf?

That bothered me a bit, because I can't remember having done anything wrong to this woman. Don't get me wrong, I have done some crappy things in my life, but nothing I could remember having anything to do with her. I did note though, that she is friends with a person who absolutely hates my guts for something she thinks I did, but that I in fact did not do. However, instead of writing a scathing reply back, I "turned the other cheek" and told her "Wow, didn't know you had such an issue with me. Not sure what I ever did to you, but I'm sorry if I have hurt you in someway".

I then went on to say "I am not sure if I did something to hurt you in the past and if I did I apologize. I'm really not the horrible person that people think I am. I've made my mistakes in this life, and I've also been blamed for things I didn't do. I have changed a tremendous amount in the last 7 years". She never replied back.

My point to all this is I know I shouldn't let this bug me, but it is. I thought that if I turned the other cheek and apologized for whatever she feels I have done, that I myself would feel better about responding in a positive way instead of a negative one. And some of this is my own ego, I know. It just galls me that she apparently thinks I am this horrible person, yet she associates herself with two people who are just a toxic mess.

Anyways, I guess in the long run it's better to have turned the other cheek. But I can say it's not nearly as satisfying as writing  this would have been..."WTF do you mean, "same shannon i see"?? I didn't do shit to you, I know your jumping on your crazy friend's little bandwagon and your old enough to know better than to do that. Grow the fuck up, find out the REAL story, and act like a real person. Oh, and for the record, my husband wants nothing to do with someone who treats his wife like shit and that came straight from his mouth" .......
