YA SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION?

 I have been in this daze watching the events in the mid East with folks tossing out the Dictators and wanting democracy! It’s watching history in the making. Also realizing that social media and you tube has given these peeps a room with a view to see what the rest of the world is doing.

 In those countries the DIC-tator had all da money. These peeps made like 2 bucks a week! The women are brutalized and I am sure it will take more than just a government turn over to rectify that one!

Yet still these peeps run ragged with rocks and stones and toss them at a friggin tank! We all know ya can’t take a tank out with a rock and yet they continue to follow their dream of democracy.

Here we sit in America with all these freedoms and democracy and some of us are making 2 bucks a week? It was noted in Forbes magazine that there are 400 people in America that have all da money!

FOUR HUNDRED! Then there are da rest of us Mooks ~ they do say however, “da Mooks shall inherit da Earth!”

That poor woman that represents that scale of Justice is gonna be hunchbacked soon!

Look I am not trying to start a debate on Democrats, Republicans or what eva party du jour is out there. All I am trying to say here is that we need to have a sit down with these 400 people and have them crack into their fortune.

Regardless of what party is in, it all turns into a bad CYO dance. Boys on this side Girls on the other. The votes get all skewed because if your not on my side, I aint voting! Like friggin kids in the playground. So guess what ~ nothing gets done. NADA – ZIP! 

Who pays for this BS, US !!

There are some folks out there that do not think we are in a depression/recession, they are calling it a correction? Why – because they are da ones with da money !!

Now look, if you are fortunate to have a job and have some savings and are feeling a bit squeezed – Brava, good for you.

However for those of us that are unemployed or self-employed or singles Mom’s and Dad’s trying to make ends meet this shit at pretty.

In this country we love our celebrities and athletes.

Our Athletes are making 30 million and it now costs you $200.00 to take your kid to a game? Do we really need to pay Tom Cruise 9 million to make a movie movie?

Look me of all people certainly do support the talented and artistic endeavors of peeps but MINGA – create a pay scale will ya!

Gas prices, food prices. Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

By now we should be looking for alternative measures for fuel and then hiring all the unemployed to make it happen.

So maybe we need to get our ASS’es in Times Square or any Square USA and say, Stop, BASTA, ENOUGH.

Stop payin our taxes, I mean really now what are they gona do lock up half the country!

These peeps in the mid East are dying for democracy. Well ya betta watch what you wish for because before ya know it they’re gonna be all broke ass like us. Then the 400 people that have all the money here will move there and become King!

You say you got a real solution

Well, you know

We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well, you know

We're doing what we can

But when you want money

for people with minds that hate

All I can tell is brother you have to wait 

C'mon people now

Smile on your brother

Ev'rybody get together

                         Try and love one another right now

DON’T MAKE ME GET DA SHINEBOX !!!

 Great, now Da FBI will have a dacia on me  :)

Three Penny Opera

Has anyone been to the MET lately? If so than God Bless. Because if you have you – you either have more money than Palachi – know a guy – found a guy – or took a distribution from your 401k!

I happen to be one of those very eclectic peeps. The music I listen to varies from- Rock – Blues- Jazz – and Tango!! OMG, I loves me some Tango music…  I love fine art, abstract and yet I can kick back with the best of the blue-collar anywho’s…now that’s a friggin ART!

I despise pretension!!! I mean lets get real Folk’s, unless you were born in the Vanderbilt mansion, knock it off!!! Even Anderson Cooper has a sense of humor ~ well sort of???

Once in a while you have to take the stick out of your coulo! You might even enjoy hangin whit the little folk. Because basically you are just a Lolly Pop kid looking for height.

The world is tough enough, No? --- We are all connected by 6 degree’s of separation. Bet cha pissed off now!!!

And since the recession or depression set in it has made it worse! For me though, traveling around this country of ours – I think it’s worse in NYC.

Think of when your 401k was whole! You would drive thru Chelsea and pass all those foo foo clubs with the velvet ropes and see all those foo foo gurls on line with their little black dresses and their Gucci bags waiting to get in….

Well, ya still seem em, but now they are online with their little dresses, with their cuma-se-chama hangin out, their knock off bag and a sign that says, “ I will date for food and the Philharmonic!

However choosing your friends is way different than being born into your family!!!!

Hey,you know that show called the Locator? On WE TV…

This guy gets letters from people looking for their family’s that gave them up for adoption or friends that have lost friends..

I’m not talking about the lost boyz, that’s a whole other story..

I can see it now. I contact the guy from the Locator. Hi Troy, my name is Maryann Smith. I was adopted when I was 8 years old. All I know from my adopted family is that, they gave me up after I set a Nun’s veil on fire? But I have this desire to connect.

So Troy goes on DA hunt.

He meets me at the Bada Bing Club and says, “I found your family”!

OMG!!!!!!

Yes and I have a video of one of their Christmas dinners.

He plays the video, there are 7 fishes, zepolies, nuts, pastry, and my FAMILY.. They were reenacting the 3 penny opera.. Now rememba – this is an opera "by and for beggars!

So there’s my Brother singing Mack da knife!!! Then my sister starts cuttin hair!!!!! And my other Sister is dressed like a hussy from Berlin????????

IT WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

I looked at Troy and said – um – tell them you couldn’t find me!!!!!

But cha know what! Families are made up of the good, the bad and the ugly!  Whistle here!!!

My family has never seen an Opera, they don’t need to, they create their own drama. However, this does not make them bad people, or less than.

And those folks that feel that they would never want to mix with the likes of “those folks”! Most likely are covering up some type of dysfunction of their own, That’s why they hid in the orcastra pit!!

Look I have Champaign taste on a beggar’s budget! I loves me some Crème Brulee …However, I am proud to say that I still can crave a Devil Dog too~~~~

So here be da deal!!   Get off your high horse! ~  I always hated that statement!!! Lighten up !!!  See the good in people not what they are wearing. Love your neighbor – but don’t get caught!!!

And NEVER –EVER JUDGE ANY ONE.. ESPECIALY AN ITALIAN!!!

WE know all the judges any way~~~~~
