All eyes on me

So here we are at this juncture again, the flames of outrage to be fanned again because the government is veiwing phone records. Before your indignancy reaches record levels, here's a mint for your pillow...whats new pussycat? So many of us jump on these bullet trains without fore or after thought because the sound bytes send messages that we feel deserve an immediate response, and most times these knee jerk responses are just that. Americans are being spied upon daily all under the guise of protecting the pursuit of that so called American dream, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  I ask you, in todays society where is it you can go without someone invading your privacy? Big brother is watching every little step you take and you're not outraged because of how the package has been presented to you. To protect you from crime, to ensure your safety in these hamlets and villages we dwell in is plausible to you because a Freddie Krueger lurks around every corner and God forbid I end up as his next victim, so its alright that I can be traced leaving the sanctity of my home to the top dollar store around the corner for a bottle of pine sol and all on camera no less. Now who's zooming who? The game isn't changing my friends, the rules are evolving and the grip on US is getting tighter and tighter. You can't have it both ways either you want it or you don't which really is a misnomer because you're going to get it either way. From Benedict Arnold, to Alger Hiss, The Rosenbergs, Civil war spies, and most famously Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism and less we not give a pass to America's most famous spy, the daffodil J Edgar, its all just another chapter in the big brother's watching you game...but you can take light in the fact that "this one's for you!" Stop the impulse, do your research into America's long sordid history of snooping. Its the American way!                       Da Bad Guy!

Gametime

Remember the recent housing debacle. Massive amounts of property under and devalued. People losing homes hand over fists. Pure misery, pain. Feelings of abandonment, and loss. People losing what was termed as the only true staple in America, land, and property. In the words of Dr. Zachery Smith...oh the pain, oh the pain! But wait just a minute here, something just isn't right. There are people circling these neighborhoods like vultures over roadkill. The courthouse steps are full of bidders accumulating these properties (for what remember they have little to no value) and all the American public is getting is mumbo jumbo concerning mortage companys and who's at fault but the folks who've lost their shirts and are still losing them, minds are melted butter and are in no mood for excuses, and as always the rich are getting richer, and the poor...well you know the rest. Kinda sounds like the old bait and switch to me, how about you? Be true to the game because if you don't it'll certainly be true to you!            Da Bad Guy!

Now the trick part

Allstate says they will send you a check for being a safe driver twice a year, this is a big part of their ad campaign...send you your mpney back for simply doing what everyone (that has an idea of what.being responsible is) should be doing any way. They take your premiums draw ultimate interest from the massive amounts of cash infusion they get from YOU and then send you a pittance to let you knpw "We got your back"  and all the while they scramble to give multi-million dollar bonuses to their hierarchy, but down on the lower echelon you pat yourself on the back for a job well done...and I'm da bad guy. And all it takes is some deep voiced C movie character actor who just a few years ago wasn't supposed to be able to be marketable to the American public because of his ethnicity. Aint America grand! Think about it...this is just one of the millions of tales in the naked city!  Lets wake up my friends our alarm clocks have been wreaking havoc.                   Da Bad Guy!

Lies, Tricks, Games

I would like for you to ponder the question, what is a lie? Forget the surface level, dig deep inside from all the grammatical tricks and ask yourself what truly is a lie. Since the founding of this country everything we supposedly hold near and dear is based on lies so it gets hard for some to separate from the fallicies that are us, but it can be done. We have become so ensconced in just following the yellow brick road that we've forgotten that OZ was the ultimate destination. Stop hearing and really take the time to listen, I guarantee you be taken aback by some of the inane foolishness you hear because the root of anything starts with a seedling. You are the master of your destiny, so decide where to get on, or off that train of mediocrity, disillusionment, and chicanary. To thine ownself be true!               Da Bad Guy!

Monikers, and Titles

There are those amongst us  that  thrive upon the perception that a title lends prestige, affluence, and credibility to themselves, their families, and their lives. This perception exists no matter how much you try to influence. yourself, or others as to your lineage or status in life, and the bottom line truth is, you are what you are. Most times all it takes is for you to attempt to verbally articulate to the world around you and you've blown your cover. That hill you stand on as king will crumble faster than a peanut buster parfait in 90 degree heat the moment that your inane vernacular reaches the ears of the informed. I'm acquainted with a guy that coaches and teaches college kids at what is supposed to be one of the most prestigious HBCU's in the country yet he is and has been sorely lacking in the most basic skills required to navigate
the most rudimentary life. This same individual was a fireman for possibly 20+ years and couldn't pass the basic skills test to promote himself to the
Lieutenant level which is about as simple as it comes, yet to talk with this guy you get the impression that he 's a high level cabinet member, that is if you're sorely lacking in skills yourself. Wow they say the mind is a terrible thing to waste! Just imagine all the furrowed eyebrows he's encountered along the way and all the time his mind has been playing tricks on him because he's  figuring that he got another past someone else. Whatever it is you do, hone your craft. Don't try to be something that you obviously aren't, get all your ducks in a row, and please have enough wherewithall to educate yourself to your desired level of competance. Rest assured that anything else will shine through to the competent masses like a new harvest moon. Stop perpatrating, get your credentials in order and you'll find that its not the letters that follow your name that are significant, but the measure of the individual thats dedicated themselves to true excellence.                                              Da Bad Guy!
