THE MYTH OF SUBURBAN INNOCENCE

 

In another post I posed the question as to how the suburban housewife is suddenly launched into street life.


What exactly is assaulting the innocence of the stay at home mom or working suburban tiger mom?

What monster is responsible?

I've realized the answer was right in front of me the whole time. 


This monster doesn't exist. 


The suburbanite has never been innocent in drug culture...EVER! Nor have they been innocent in any other vice of epidemic proportions. 

These benzo driven members of society have always been high and have always looked the other way. 

I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Abducted in Plain Sight." It follows a family whose young daughter is taken advantage of by a family friend. Turns out he not only had sex with their underage daughter but he also had sexual encounters with the mother AND the father. 

Suburbia is a trash can of vice. 

They look down on the poor and call them losers. All the while they rape, murder, sell children as sex slaves and profit off of unwanted children. 

I've seen this with my own eyes. I see these demons walking around everyday as if they did nothing. Their pupils drawn in with mechanical smiles on their faces. They want you to believe that they are so happy. 

Trust me. They're not. 

Any fool can see that someone who is truly happy could not be persuaded to live out on the street for drugs. Someone who is truly happy would have found a way to avoid the addiction. 

They were numbing something. They have been numbing the haunting ghosts of negligence, indifference and disregard for human suffering. 

To sometimes ease the pain, they hand out crumbs of acceptance. Sometimes they try to embrace their victims as if their hands are clean. 

And when that person refuses to smile and make them feel comfortable then they have an "attitude."

That monster that doesn't exist is the lack of action when it mattered most. 

A friend of mine once abruptly yelled through the phone at me: "Not everyone is that brave! Not everyone can stand up for what is right!!"

She's correct. Not everyone can do that. But every single person walking this earth can and will be subjected to the consequences of both action and inaction.

One of the nastiest of those consequences is the Opioid Epidemic. 


Maybe next time suburbia will find the courage to speak up against evil.

But I wouldn't count on it.

Goon Elimination Techniques

If you love martial arts movies like I do then you already know the formula. ....but I'm not here to talk about that today. I showed up to blow up how those poor unfortunate souls tasked with protecting the bad guy get LAID OUT by the hero. 11. The Warning Yell. -Look, y'all bout to get fucked up. This is the emergency get-yo-ass-out the way broadcast system. This is not a test.   10 . Slappin' ya face! -These goons are so low level that an open hand and a yell is all it takes to get them out of the way. Some might mistake these moves for chops or pressure points.

TRYING ME 05/23/25

  There is this dumb, fake ass bitch at my job has been trying me since I was hired.  She's married, overweight and recently a new mother.  When I was hired, she was pregnant and I thought I would only be at the company until she returned from maternity leave.  Before she left, she made sure to act a complete ass towards me whenever possible.  While training me the Ukraine Russia conflict came up (this was back in the early stages). I made a comment (it was just me and her in the room) generally stating that Russia needs to stop flexing because it is affecting the US economy (and it was because we had to impose shipping fees on our customers etc.). This bitch proceeds to raise her voice and scold me about how people are dying and what not.  I let it go. I didn't say anything to her for 2 reasons:  1. The bitch was so pregnant I didn't want to put her into labor.  2. The bitch was so pregnant she obviously was miserable and cognitively impaired....

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE

I hadn't seen this movie in over 2 decades. When the opening credits began, I felt a deep since of sadness and darkness. I could say it was my sparse memory of the plot and the overall somber mood from the imagery.  I know it was something else. It wasn't until the movie truly began that I was able to identify the source of the sadness.  This being a "cult" film, I knew there would be some disappointments in plot continuity and special effects partially due to the "wholesome" expectations of the time.  Overall it wasn't too disappointing. The story itself is so compelling that no one really cared about the following: 1. How well folded and "pressed" that note looked after Blanche had crumpled it all to hell and threw it out a window when Jane returned it to her.  2. How Blanche had no idea that Jane was stealing money from her until she started serving her dead animals from around the house.  It could be that this plot hole is an artistic refer...
