I can't stand it when people puss out on hate. "Oh, I don't hate anybody. Hate is too harsh a term."
Seriously? What the fuck is your imbalance? If you can love something or someone, you can hate something or someone else. Not only that, but you probably should. I'm all for keeping your enemies closer than your friends, and I'm all for turning the other cheek when it's appropriate (which is more situations than not), but I draw the line at loving your enemy.
I think too many people confuse hating with acting on said feelings. Just because I hate someone doesn't mean I'm going to go out slash his or her tires. It doesn't mean I'm going to be a slave to my hate and get the jitters until I piss in that person's coffee. It just means I have a healthy dose of the other end of the emotional spectrum flowing through me to balance out the love stuff that's also there (even if it's not apparent in this particular blog). I don't let it ruin my life, my relationships, or my blood pressure.
I've heard people say that hate just eats you up inside and is a waste of energy. I respectfully disagree. It will eat you inside if you're weak and stupid enough to let it. I bet the same people who get completely eaten up with hate over some things/people are the same ones who fall headlong and hard in love and let that define them, too... for as long as that love lasted, anyway. Hate and love are the extremes, and people who try to live in one and not the other aren't healthy. The hate-filled folks are just as unhealthy as the love-only folks, but I find that the love-only ones really come off as major pussies.
It's not like I'm saying you have to both love and hate every object or person in your life like there's some weird Yin and Yang deal in everything on the planet. I'm just saying you ought not act like you're "too good" to hate something or someone. You're not too good. You're off kilter. Fucknut.

If the State of Georgia was a person, I'd like to slap the stupid out of him.
Georgia and I have a long, sordid history.
I hated Georgia while I lived there, but was ok with calling it home once I left.
I was not ok when, due to some new rules, I was unable to continue registering my car in my Military Home of Record where I was paying state taxes simply because I had a license from the state in which I was living due to military orders.
I was not ok when they changed the flag. I don't give two shits about the "Stars and Bars," but both of the flags that followed the confederate cloth read: "In God We Trust." Great, so now, not only was I being pissed on by my state for daring to be in the military and not living in the backwards ass fuckhole of Georgia, but I was also being excluded from the citizenry as an atheist. I'm not saying that there should be a denouncement of God, but come the fuck on. Even in Georgia, there are at least *some* people who don't believe in an invisible sky buddy.
I was not ok this morning, when I heard the latest about the water talks/fights between Georgia, Florida, and Alabama as they try to deal with the drought. Of course, talks have stalled between the states, and really, who came blame them? I wouldn't want to work with a fuck like Sonny Perdue who thinks that the other states just "still don't realize how vital and how critical Georgia's water needs are."
So what do they want to do? These fucks want to redraw the boarder to take over a piece of the Tennessee River!
Jesus Fucking Christ, I take it back. If Georgia were a person, I wouldn't want to slap the stupid out of him, I would want to beat the fuck out of him for being such a self-centered asshole who can't see past his own nose.
