Lists of our dead Soldiers, Muslim President and my usual update

Let me first apologize to my dad for sending off such a pissy response to his well meaning email.
I always seem to be everyone's favorite recipient for the viral email/Facebook message that starts out giving you 2-3 celebrity names that are in the news this week then it goes on to say yes but did you read about the soldiers of the United States Military this week and lists the dead.

I hate this fucking email for 2 reasons.

First I hate that it's a band wagon email. You probably didn't even give our fallen Soldiers one single second of your thoughts before or after that email reached you. But you followed along like little sheep and forwarded this tripe to every person in your address book. How about you do me a favor and take 30 seconds out of your busy lives every day, instead of forwarding that email stop and think of the Soldiers. EVERY DAY!

Second reason I hate this viral piece of shit. Did you know that the reason there are no lists of Fallen Soldiers in any media is because of the Soldiers families? Bet you didn't. Out of respect for the Soldiers families the US Military stopped releasing lists of our dead because during the Vietnam Conflict families were finding out about their family members deaths through the nightly news because the telegrams from DOD (Department of Defense) didn't have a reliable way to reach them. It took such a toll on the families of dead soldiers that we stopped releasing lists to the media. Did you also know that the Military families themselves requested that lists and photographs of the caskets arriving home not be shown anymore? Bet you didn't. Also the D.O.D realized that publishing things of this nature had a negative impact on the population. Bet you didn't know that either.

So it's not because we care more about celebrities, you want to read a list of our dead soldiers? Antiwar.com or iCasualties.org learn to use Google.

To me band wagon emails like these are nothing but voluntary ignorance. You didn't know any of the reasons we don't publish lists of our dead till a paragraph ago. It's not my job to inform you. Before passing this crap along take ten seconds and find out the "Why" behind something. Your all intelligent human beings there's no reason for you to not as the "Why" behind things. The second we stop asking the "Why, what, how and when" of things and just blindly accept them, we become sheep just following along. We become weak minded and easily controlled and led sheep.

My Dad also sent me another email that he hoped that I would blog about. I'm going to print the text below and then comment after.

"In
1952
President Truman
established one day a year as a
"National Day of Prayer."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In
1988
President Reagan
designated the
First Thursday in May of each year as
the National Day of Prayer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In June
2007
(then)
Presidential
Candidate Barack Obama
declared that the USA
"Was no longer a
Christian nation."
---------------------------------------------------------------
This year
President Obama
canceled the
21st annual National Day
of Prayer ceremony
at the White
House under the ruse
Of "not wanting to offend anyone"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUT... on September 25, 2009
from 4 AM until 7 PM,
a National Day of Prayer
FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION
was Held on Capitol Hill,
Beside the White House.
There were over 50,000 Muslims
in D.C. that day."

Yeah this pissed me off. Faithful Readers, you know that I don't agree with organized religion. However, our Country WAS created under a Christian platform. And I don't believe for one second that it is okay for President Obama to snub the Countries Majority like this as to "Not offend". Calling the Bullshit Flag once again on this farce of an Administration. "Yes we can" turn this great United States of America into a weak, crumbling shadow of a once Great Nation, Obama.

And once again, where are all you spineless Liberal Dem Anti-War Protesters?? Huh, where did all of you go to?? How come your not out in droves making some kind of noise about this Lybia situation?? I've called you guys out twice now and I'm not hearing back once again proving to me that your all hypocrite's because it's okay for your President to start a war but god help the Republican that does it.

Who else enjoyed the video of Obama getting locked out of the White House?

Bella The Blazer is broken again, taking her down to her favorite garage today. Sincerely hoping that for once I'm exaggerating my fears and it's not as bad as I think but I doubt that because let's be honest, My luck does not work like that.

Till next time, Faithful Readers.

Boundaries, Charlie Sheen and what the hell happened to Japan?

Boundaries. Yep "Boundaries". Every one that's ever been in a relationship has either early on, to set parameters or later on, to slow things down had "That talk". You know what I mean, the "Boundaries" talk. The discussion of how often is okay to call, text, see each other, etc. What the correct terminology is for that stage of the relationship, are you "seeing" each other, "friends" "boyfriend/girlfriend" or the ever dreaded "I will not use a label" which is sometimes the nihilistic cry of the committment-phobe that just doesn't understand that a label is sometimes a comfy warm blanket to their soul mate, the self deprecating, over nurturer that bases their self worth on the label that the nihilistic, committment-phobe won't give them. Back to "Boundaries", possibly one of the funniest things that I've ever witnessed (And those of you that get me, will laugh also as your imagination follows my descriptive interpretation. And those of you that don't get me, I apologize please skip forward) I literally just watched my boyfriend give the "Boundaries" discussion to the cat. Yes, the cat. It's been an ongoing afternoon discussion between them about when is an acceptable time for climbing up in his lap to when it is okay to commandeer his slippers. I believe Cuddles has been properly informed of her "Boundaries" in this conflicting relationship however considering her narcissism and catty attitude, yes I believe this particular relationship is doomed. "Catty attitude" sometimes I crack myself up!

Going to jump on the "What's Hot" train for a moment. As everyone is well aware, I am a celebrity news/entertainment/fashion whore. I am always on top of what's trending, popular and disintegrating in the celebrity world. If you try to come tell me some tid-bit of celeb news 9 out of 10 times I will have heard about it 10 hours before. Charlie Sheen's absolute craziness is not new to me, the man has been falling apart for decades. He's a train wreck put on a visual loop. There are all sorts of people on both sides of the rails just watching this eternally happening wreck and it's genius! What an absolute genius this man is! Because wether you love or hate him, wether your with the trolls or warlocks, you are paying attention to Charlie Sheen! He's selling out theaters with his hallucinatory, absolutely delusional rants. It's entertaining in a gruesome, train wreck kind of way and the population will continue to slow down their proverbial cars to ogle this mess. What I object to is that many believe that the people fascinated by this horror are some lower class of sub-human. On the contrary. I am fascinated by this because it makes my life seem so simple in comparison and watching celebrities have epic fails in their otherwise storybook lives makes me feel as if they're really just human after all. In this age of magazine cover bulimia, drug addictions to cure psychosis and Old Testament prophesies to explain away human tragedy, yes it's refreshing to see that they are human after all. So please Charlie Sheen, keep melting down on the cover of my magazines because it saves me on therapy costs!!

I find it very amusing that Fox News almost word for word ripped me off the day after I posted my opinion on Libya. Bastards!!! Tony, pointed out to me today that it seems as if everyone has forgotten the Japan issue since Libya became hot. I actually had the same thought last night as I was going through Yahoo News stories and Castles for sale was 3 articles ahead of an article on the food radiation and 5 articles ahead of the most recent fire at the reactor site. Are we really such fickle people that we will forget an entire population devastated, over 8,000 people dead? And how come in all of this mess not one American is bashing Obama for starting another war as they did President Bush? All you Dems and Liberals jumped all over my President but it's okay for YOUR President to go out and involve our Military into yet another conflict? You fucking hypocrites! The only opposition that I've heard so far has been on Michael Savage and Glenn Beck, are these the only 2 "AMERICAN CITIZENS" that will stand up and say something? "Yes, We Can" what, Obama??? Completely screw our Government in every imaginable way socially and economically? Congrat-u-fucking-lations! You have succeeded grandly.

Screw it, put Charlie Sheen in the White House. At least he'll stand up to the Trolls and put a positive spin (Duh, Winning) on failing in such a massive way. Just as long as his publicist has a list of "Boundaries".

Till Next Time Faithful Readers,

Bex Chaos, Mayhem and Candy

You read that correctly. "Bex Chaos, Mayhem and Candy" Garcia (The much mentioned Army Brother)decided to give me the name "Bex Mayhem Ragsdale" then laughingly said I should change the name of my blog. So this one is for you Garcia!!

First, I will apologize for not posting recently. I have had terrible writer's block. Not that there hasn't been enough to write about but as you well know, if I'm not feeling the flow of writing then I can't push it. Faithful Readers, are you ready for this? This blog is going to be fun, funny, obnoxious, and 100% truthful and in your face. Here we go.....


Flexisexual. New favorite word, it's fun to say. Say it and it's just one of those words that bounces off of your tongue like the big pink bouncy ball that I bought to play with yesterday. Flexisexual. See, fun freaking word. Flexisexual: Straight person that enjoys kissing, flirting, etc with the same sex but remains straight in sexual preference. Or as we use to call these girls, a fucking tease!!! Not backing this particular group as they frustrate many a gay friends however love the word. Flexisexual. I'm giggling to myself every time I say it in my head.

Sarah Palin, just as funny to say as flexisexual. In a new poll, just as unpopular as Nancy Pelosi. She recently made a bad joke about the price of milk after Michelle Obama did a PSA about breast feeding. Now she's unpopular and unfunny. Didn't see that coming.

Libya. This whole story pisses me right the fuck off. We have politicians in our country standing up stating that the US needs to step in now and secure this conflict and insist upon Kadhafi's resignation. "The president stated that when a leader’s only means of staying in power is to use mass violence against his own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now." Really Mr. President? Under that way of thinking, President Lincoln would have to have resigned as President during the beginning of the American Civil War. So we are no better than they are. Please remember that Kadhafi is doing nothing different then our President Lincoln did in our country. Let's at least put this in perspective, this is a rebel population uprising in a country that we are not even allied with and just lifted the last of the economic sanctions that we had imposed upon them in 1986 in September 2004. This is a rebel population, a small rebel population that is attempting to rise against it's current government. It's an established Government in an established UN recognized Country. And do you know why our politicians are suddenly so eager to put United States Troops into this little uprising? OIL! Need I remind our American Politicians and you the general public that back in 2001 American Politicians were screaming for us to take action in Iraq and Afghanistan and then now 10 fucking years later we haven't completed either assignment??? We (our soldiers) are still on the ground in these countries people!! Now after 10 years of combat your going to insist these same soldiers, OUR AMERICAN SOLDIERS, to what, go fight in a third war? One politician said that we need Kadhafi out now, while there's a chance before he becomes a definitive threat to the US. BEFORE??? What about Pan Am Flight 103? He wasn't a threat then? Any one remember the "Cross this line" speech he kept giving us in the 80's?? Where the fuck have these people been, under a rock? Kadhafi has always been a pain in our ass, but now he has an uprising and because he has control of some oil we are going to get involved. Well Faithful Readers, I say BULLSHIT! We've got protests and uprisings all over the Middle East currently but the United States isn't jumping into any of those losing battles. We are not the World's Police Department! We can not handle our own damn problems and problems from past Administrations, let alone the current damage being inflicted by this damn President. So here's Bex Chaos, Mayhem and Candy Advice to this Administration: Take care of our hungry, our poverty stricken population, our SOLDIERS. In other words, mind your own fucking business, Obama Administration. And as a side note stop letting Michelle wear ugly unflattering dresses that look like someone cut up the draperies or duvet, please and thank you.

Yes try not to die from shock, I do know what a duvet is.

Ok, let's take a look into my own personal universe for a minute because the Bex Universe has taken a hell of a shocking plot twist as of recently. I'm not going to go into a whole huge back story because it would take WAY too long. Let's sum up. Had to request my crazy ass egg donor to leave my home. First it was a request to do as she promised when I rescued her back in October, to go into assisted living. It quickly escalated to I don't care if you go live in a box but ya can't stay here! Shoplifting, lying, creating domestic drama, creating family drama, name it. 18 shades of crazy that I have no patience or tolerance for. It's not my job to take care of her, it's not my responsibility to continue to run to her rescue and I flatly refuse to take any negative feedback because of this situation.

Been in hiding from the public eye (no pun intended) all week because as many of you already know, I caught a couple fast jabs square to the face last saturday because my boy Dave decided it would be in our best interest to start a fight with a big, ugly bitch that thought he was cute and then proceeded to argue with him. It escalated and i kept telling her to leave me out of it 3 times. The 4th time she grabbed my shoulder and I turned around I got a punch square in the nose. Popped the nose back in place (jesus that hurts!!) and have had a swollen face and 2 black eyes all week. Loyalty broke my fucking face. And Faithful Readers, you know that I'm essentially a vain person so no makeup and a jacked face has taken a toll on my esteem this week. I know it's hard to believe but yep my unshakeable self confidence got pretty shaken. On the up side, I have a billion pairs of huge sunglasses. Gotta look on the bright side sometimes.

My son Ian made some new friends in our complex and at his request, we went over to introduce ourselves. Immediately the dad became super interested in speaking to me. Dave's looking at me like "WTF?" I excused us as quickly as possible. This morning the dad felt the need to walk Ian home and proceeded to attempt to find common ground to be friends on and for the 3rd time invite me to share his bottle of vodka. And of course as my luck would have it, my boyfriend had disappeared into another part of the apartment not to reappear till after I figured out a clever way to excuse myself from the uncomfortable situation of some big black guy talking to me about Social Distortion, Vodka and staring at my tits even in my huge Flogging Molly T-shirt.

As I'm spending some time speaking with an acquaintance on the phone (btw, I hate talking on the phone. And I never listen to voicemail so no point in leaving one) at the end of the conversation I was approached to become "friends" with a group of men that will reimburse me monetarily to do simple tasks such as take me to dinner or see me naked. UUUUMMMMMM???? Yeah you wrap your brain around that for a few minutes and you have the mental hamster wheel that I was on for hours later. Really? *looks left, looks right* Did that just fucking happen?? Really? I didn't imagine that, right? What about my personality, what about Bex says "prostitution"? Now I remember my stripper career very vividly. And I never went over the line, around the line, under the line, pretended there wasn't a line. I treated it like any other situation. With nothing but respect and honor for myself. Really? Did it really happen?? Fucking weird. My Universe was all skewed for hours after and it still keeps popping into my head.

My cell phone went all weird and sent my text message replies to dave and spontaneously sent them to my son Brian but shows no record of sending them to Brian and even shows that it was sent to Dave. Weird.

LOL, I forgot that my week didn't start with the punch heard around the world. I was at the gym and my knee slipped out of place, I over compensated and bashed my opposite knee on the machine. Mid fall the personal trainer caught me. Love the dude but holy hell next time let me fall! I'm Bex, gravity works different for me as anyone will tell you. So in 35 years I've learned how to fall. In the process of the fall my knee went 3/4's of the way back in place and the well meaning PT stated he knew how to put it back in and as I started to say, well it's mostly back in yep he grabbed and yanked. Holy hell next time let me use the damn wall to put it back in!! Between where he caught me mid fall and the grip for the yank heard around the gym and the punch to the face the next day. Yeah, uuhhhh, domestic violence victims do not look as bad as I do this week.

So now comes the part where I'm really going to piss you all off but in my defense I hope that you will read the following and stop and think about the message I'm trying to send to you no matter how obnoxiously I put it in words here.

Facebook. Do not send me these stupid, fucking ignorant, annoying "I bet you won't repost this for blah blah blah." Do not send me messages to post some stupid color of my bra to raise awareness for anorexic, polio victims of a tsunami in
Khazakastan that were orphaned by a freak Yeti encounter. Do not request that I put in my status "Bourbon" because it signals that I'm a domestic partner looking to be flexisexual, because no offense but with enough bourbon I'll tell you what ever you want to hear and may indeed go around, across, over and under the before mentioned line. All of these trumped up annoying requests are all to bring "awareness" to cancer, MS, pick a fucking disease. Well here's my challenge to you: Put your money where your status is. Instead of wasting energy bringing awareness to diseases that I've never lost awareness of so I'm guessing considering their prevalence, that no one else except maybe one lonely pygmy in the Congo that does not have internet access, has lost awareness of either. Instead of bringing awareness to subjects that we are aware of, take $5 and donate it to that charity for that disease that your so worried that I forgot about. And take me off your damn mailing list. Repost that Facebook, I fucking dare you. "I'll bet 90% of those reading will not repost this!" Lmfao, I hope not because I sincerely hope you could come up with your own original ideas.

Well Faithful Readers, I'm spent. Until next time,
Forever your guilty little pleasure (Ha, may charge you next time)
BEX CHAOS, MAYHEM AND CANDY!!!!

Don't forget

Don't forget that there is another of my blogs to be following, Faithful Readers.
