      Excuse me are you listening? 7-25

      I’m upset.  I’m actually livid right now.  Reality sets in when you realize that there’s a person who ruined the lives of thousands if not millions.  The atrocities that he dealt demands a special assembly, a call for action, a verbal uprising, a civil march or something cataclysmic.

      This cruel, insensitive man is 70-year-old Bernard “Bernie” Madoff (pronounce MADE-OFF).  He “made off” with 1 life and 50 billion dollars ($50,000,000,000) so far. In my opinion, he’s a murderer and a thief.  He swindled both the extremely rich and the extremely poor.

      Above:  During better times Bernard L. Madoff smiles.  More recently he has been accused of fleecing money from investors all over the world.

        Me2U: Holidays

        I do not like the holidays. I do not like the fact that I do not like the holiday season. I have tried very hard not to be a Scrooge. When my mother died ten years ago everything I knew changed. I was nowhere near ready for the changes that would happen. No more Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners at my parent’s house. My sister has since moved to Portland, OR. My father has since become a vegan-like raw food health food militant, except for special occasions like funerals and weddings then the man eats regular food like his life depended on it. It is hilarious watching this five foot seven ultra skinny man chow down on some “real” food. The stories he has about the aftermath to his body are stupendously amazingly intense. I will spare you the dirty details.
