Redheads

I'm a redhead. Naturally. All of my adult life,I've sported the ginger hair. My childhood days, were filled with blond hair. But as an adult, the red hair just appeared. And stayed. These days, there are a few grey hairs in the mix. But thanks to the red color, you can't easily see them.

Earlier this week, I came across this article. I read it. Laughed. Went on with my life. It was funny. At least I thought so. But I didn't grow up as a redhead. Did that make my life easier? I was a boy, not a girl. Did that make a difference? I'm not sure. But the "trauma" that the writer is trying to perceive, I don't get it. Why blame red hair for so many problems?



With all of that said, I can't understand this article. Is being a redhead that horrible? I think not. It's interesting. There are some good jokes out there. They stereotypical stuff about redheads, I personally know, some are true. I know this. For example, I'm left handed. But traumatizing?I don't think so. As someone who is in the public eye, I've never had to deal with crap, related to my hair color.

This article, I'm not buying it. I had an interesting childhood. Struggled to be in the "cool" group. Which I was never a part of. At least until I was an adult. And my career got moving. But it had nothing to do with my hair color. It was other things.

What do you think? Am I nuts? Am I not getting something? Do I see things differently, because I didn't grow up as a redhead? What I do know is this, life as a redhead, is fun. Interesting. Full of good things. Why not embrace your natural hair color. Whatever it is. We all go through crap in our lives, so why blame it on our hair color. I just don't get that. D

The USA and Money Problems

What's up with our country? For over a damn month now, I've been watching all these politicians bitch and gripe on TV. This party was pissed off at that party. There seemed to be very few, that were willing to give in. To give a little, so they could take a little. Everyone was being greedy.

It took a total and complete meltdown, to make them move. In a "Hail Mary" move, they finally past some legislation. Nothing to really fix the problem. More of a band aid to the problem. Shit, it pissed me off. Who are these people? What makes them think this is a joke.

I'm lucky. I have a damn good job. I have more than enough money to keep going. We have a nice house. All the things we really need. But most Americans don't. Frankly, most were hurting long before this. Years ago. Lost jobs, markets crashing, shit happening. The politicians just stood there. Dumb founded.

Now they're bitching because the USA's credit score was dropped. Well, why didn't they pass decent legislation. And do it in a timely dang matter? Simple. We need to pay our bills. When we show signs of weakness, we're punished. Now you have everyone in DC pointing fingers. Blaming each other. Saying that this isn't that bad. Really?

Go to an average American household. It's bad. I constantly see people struggling. Barely making it. Trying to move forward. They're losing their jobs, then their homes, and barely keeping their families fed. Times up DC, time to get your shit together. Time to start working for the Americans that have elected you. They desperately need you help. You've screwed them over long enough.

I will not apologize for this post. Maybe some of my language. But not for the topic. If we as individuals have to pay our debts, why should the government try and get a "free pass?" Why aren't these people doing their jobs? Getting their crap together, and helping the "every day family" to do better for themselves? D
