Welcome to My World

The rantings, philosophies, and memories of a retired military, ex-diplomat, tattooed biker chick, quilting o'lady, pagan college student step-mom.

No guilt trip here - I refuse to to cave into that trap - about anything. Everything happens for a reason (Karma? Fate? Destiny? Dumb Luck? or Free Will...) and it is what it is. I've come to a point in my life where I can accept that.

Eveyone always told me to write a book, because I have so many funny stories, life experiences, unique view points...but, a book? What a pain in the ass. Blogging seemed like the next best thing, so, if you're ready (and there's room enough for everyone!) fire up the bikes and lets ride....

Marketing Slogans

When I was driving today, I heard an ad for a casino...the tag line was something like, "Because you were born to want more!". I heard an ad for a consumer credit card place that said, "Are you $x in debt? It's not your fault!"....Really? Who's fault is it? The sales person who stuck a gun to your head and made you buy a bunch of crap you didn't need? Unfortunately, there are a lot of stupid people out there that believe what they hear. There are a lot of stupid people who are not willing to take ownership of their lives. There are a lot of stupid people who are willing to just let someone else take the blame for their own stupidity. It's not MY fault I can't pay the mortgage on a $500,000.00 house when I only make $32,000.00 a year - it's the bank's fault. It's not my fault my kids can't read because I don't take the time to check their homework - it's the school system's fault. It's not my fault......well, ya know what, it is your fault. I have NO sypmthay for anyone who get's into a mess and expects someone else to pull their bacon out of the fire.
