We are in the thick of fall with the leaves almost done changing, ready to drop. The kids are all set for Halloween. The Communist Pinko Flea Party is freezing in their tents in New York after getting pummeled by an early season snow storm. Yep the signs of fall are upon us.
We took a weekend away up in the Blue Ridge Mountains to see the leaves change, relax, and do some apple picking. It was the perfect weekend. We ate at an overpriced, only average restaurant called "Harvest" in Blue Ridge. We purchased an overpriced bottle of wine, we overpaid for apples, and I screwed up Chicken Piccata because I could not keep the pan hot cooking it on the grill they had….and all of it was perfect. We relaxed and played as a family. Got partially lost on a long hike and overall had an outstanding time. It was good to get away, disconnect, and play games like Texas Hold'em together without the interruption of an Xbox. The kids love that poker game! The cabin was beautiful. The view was overlooking Lake Blue Ridge from the back deck and just sitting there, looking at the lake in the cool breeze felt so refreshing. It felt like the weeks of stress were just falling off of me. The colors of the leaves were really just beginning to change but it was still a site to see….Georgia does not do itself justice in attracting tourism. They should push the north Georgia mountains more. If you like to hike, walk, ride, run, sit, cook or eat (eat BBQ) I would highly recommend the north Georgia mountains to anyone.
With Halloween around the corner the kids are all set to get after some Tricks or Treats. They have both settled on being fans of the University of Michigan Wolverines! Not sure how they come up with these crazy ideas (I am a huge Wolverine fan!). The girl will be a cheerleader and the boy, a "Super Fan". We even got him an afro we are going to spray paint maize and blue. I know the girl is more interested in the candy than anything and the boy just wants to hang out with his buds….and the candy…but I look forward to seeing them both dressed up. They are both completely nuts!
The Flea Party….shit I do not even know where to begin! OK Sure I do! In my opinion, you have a bunch of anti capitalists protesting for one reason. This is the first batch of ass hats that all got a trophy in tee-ball, soccer, football, basketball, or whatever other sport they are in, no matter how much they sucked at their respective sport. We started training these people at a young age, teaching them that no matter what, everyone is a winner! So long as you show up, you get the rewards! I grew up keeping score in my games….and almost every team I was on sucked ass! It did not hurt my ego or psyche! It made me HATE losing! So guess what….YOU WORK HARDER! You change what you are doing when it is not working out for you. You do not sit in the street and cry because Johnny Wall Street actually went to school, worked hard, got the grades, and landed the job that pays the pay scale you wish you could pull down with your English degree. You have a choice of what you want to do with your life and if you choose to cry, whine, piss and moan about where you stand in the economic stratification of this country then either accept it or change it! But for the love of God stop sitting in the street, stinking the place up (worse than New York already smells!) and whining!
We have turned the most innovative, hard working country into a bunch of Sally's that are looking for a free ride because they could not figure out at a young age that their Music, English, Psychology, or Philosophy degree would lead them to be broke more days than not. Hey I have an idea….now that you have your whim out of the way, go back to school and learn something that can make some money! Because, guess what?! If you take away Capitalism, you will have no one to hire your lazy ass!! Keep using your Apple computers, drinking your Starbucks, and complaining how unfair life is…it is really working for you!
