I have a dream...

We have all either had a dream during sleep or you have the metaphorical type dream for your life when you're awake.  I believe the latter is what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was referring to and for all intents and purposes, it's what I'll be discussing in this blog.  My sleepy time dreams are either too scary or too racy to be sharing in the written word to be put out to the public.  I've got enough things rattling around in my conscious mind, I certainly don't need to include the subconscious.  Anyway, I've had a little time to contemplate a few things that I would like to happen over the next year or so and it would be a "dream" come true if all these things actually came to fruition.

I have a dream...that the citizens of the United States would wake up and realize that the individuals you elect work for you. They are not gods, they are not celebrities and most of them are idiots. If they're not doing their jobs, fire them. Do not vote for someone based on color, political party or because all your friends and celebrities are voting for them.  Do your research.  Look at who is financially backing a candidate, look at their voting record and look at how they speak when there's not a teleprompter in front of them spouting out garbage that was written by some highly paid speech writer.  Realize that the government is not here to support your lazy ass, that the "rich" people that are so hated in this country are the same individuals giving YOU a job, that the only way the government gets money is to tax its citizens and if they keep going at this rate, no one will have any money left to take. Also learn that I work for everything that I have and put up with a lot of bull$%&* in the process and if some pansy-ass protestor thinks that by sitting in a park all day, not working and holding a sign screaming about how there should be a distribution of wealth and capitalism is wrong is going to make me see the "light", you better sit back down in the crap-filled environment that you made for yourself and take another hit of the hash because that's not going to happen.  Get an f-ing job and your parents should be pistol whipped for raising such a sorry excuse for a human.

I have a dream...that my family and friends will find what makes them happy in life.  Whether that be a new job, new mate, new car or the best steak they've ever had, I wish all of you happiness.  May your children be healthy and smart (and not wind up protesting capitalism...that's grounds for friend termination), may you make enough money to not only provide for your families but enjoy yourself while doing it and may you live the lives that you've always dreamed and find at least a little bit of happiness in all that you do.  I hope that you are always loved by the people that you love, that the worst health issue you and your loved ones have is a hang nail and that everyday is a good hair day (and if you have no hair, may your scalp shine like the sun).

I have a dream...that I find what I've been looking for in all categories of my life.  From having a child to finding a job that lets me work at my full potential to losing weight.  I've always thought I was "too much" for Picayune but once you get out you realize that it's really the only place you want to be.  I want to have a family there, work there and be a part of the community that I've lived in for almost four decades.  Sure, I want to travel this great country (yes, I still love America) of ours along with the rest of the world, but home is where I want to come back to.  I have a dream that constant laughter will come back into my life and I can share it with those that I love and that when I finally do close my eyes at night, my sleepy time dreams will consist of all the wonderful things that I got to experience during my waking hours when I was living my daytime dreams.
