AIMLESSLY UNBALANCED

Everyone is pretty upset and pissed off about Ebay , causing many people to leave and taking their business with them. ( It's a real shame , all of that emotion and reaction can not be aimed at Congress. )

Meanwhile , Ebay has suddenly realized they have shot their own foot off. Remember Pay Pal ? Well , with it's buyer protection plan , purchases outside of Ebay's circle of protected auction fees , are still protected. You see , Ebay forbids sales outside of the auction format for buyer / seller protection. That way , Ebay gets to keep it's fees. ( heh heh heh ) Butt , with Pay Pal protection , you do not need Ebay's auction settings. How many people realize , Pay Pal can be used for purchases outside of Ebay ?

Yep , Pay Pal can be used for personal business outside of Ebay and without Ebay's fees eating up your part of the world. So , see something you want on Ebay and the item has no bids ? Well , contact the buyer with an offer , stating you will use Pay Pal. ( this way , the seller pays only pay pal fees without paying ebay fees ) Yes , the seller is making money by not paying Ebay's fees. Does this make sen$e to you ?

What can be more safer or easier than that ? For once , Ebay has accomplished something good for everyone. ( A feat Congress has yet to accomplish , for this country ) So what , if Ebay loses some of their fees ? That fact does'nt hurt my feelings at all.

By now , everyone has heard President Obama express his feelings about Wall Street execs. Butt , you know what , this is today's America. " Shameful " , that's a good word to describe this country. Let's face some shameful music , found right here in Tennessee :

Laurie Weaver - former Major in The National Guard. He enjoyed scamming people with home improvements. He also stole and sold , government property. TNG fired his ass for cross dressing in public. Laurie retaliated by suing TNG for a sex change , accusing the guard of making him act like a man. Today , Laurie runs an antique store. His items lay outside during the winter and he sells them during the summer.

Detective Black , Franklin Police - pretends to do his job , while lying to protect his fellow officers

Paul Smith , Metro Firefighter - scams people with home improvements

Scott Revoir , Excel Constructors - scams people with construction projects

Ray Abernathy , has mega buck$ contract$ with Vanderbilt University - duties include putting cameras into employees homes to spy and steal ( Franklin Police has his back ) Ray is a pedophile and beat his first wife

State Farm Insurance - well known for shitting on policy holders

Vanderbilt University - a for profit , BILLION dollar company , with tax exempt status

And let's not forget the Illinois governor , who just yesterday , got voted out of office , for conspiracy




These are just a few examples of what America is today.
BVD : Why do people act like this , Jerry
Jerry : I dunno , maybe it's in their DNA
BVD : Surely , being an adult , these people would know better. I just don't get it
Jerry : Why don't you get it ? Look , people use their leaders , for examples of how they should act. Americans have Congress , to show them the way. OK ? This is just another example of showing , how " Shit " , flows downhill. You know , BVD , telling a lie , is a dysfunctional attribute to one's character.
BVD : Yeah , I know. You've reminded me of this fact , many times and I thank you for it.

BVD : Jerry , after reading this , don't you think you're out of line here ?
Jerry : About what ?
BVD : You know about what , what you just said here
Jerry : BVD , I've gone from billion dollar companies to education. From political office to law enforcement. These examples are what America has become. These people reflect upon " US ".
This is who and what " WE " are , today. Don't you think it's time for America to change ?

Franklin , Tennessee - with more and more people not having jobs to do , they now have more time on their hands , to spend with the " kids " . A great way to spend some of that time is to track the ISS ( aka , the international space station ) and it's also a great idea for a science fair project.

So , what's so great about tracking the ISS from Franklin , Tennessee you might ask , wonder , or even ponder ? Simple , ya can see the thing from Franklin , Tennessee , that's why ! Yes folks , ever so often , the ISS orbit brings it over Franklin air space. Yes , really , no joking.

The top picture shows the Soyuz docked on one end. This is the only reliable / viable space vehicle to date for servicing the ISS.

The middle picture shows the size of ISS after more modules and solar panels were added this past year and it's not even finished , yet. ( tool bag not included , it's in a orbit all to itself and yes , you can track that )

The bottom picture dates from 1999. Does'nt look like much , does it ?

So , you might ask , " Just how do I go about tracking the ISS ? " Simple , do the Google thing. There are plenty of web sights to check out. My favorite is lizard-tail. Keep in mind , NASA no longer gives the public , correct tracking information , due to their safety / security concerns over Red Necks with shotguns. While other nations do not have the capability of shooting down the ISS , give a Red Neck a shotgun and anything is possible.

Today , the ISS is the 3rd brightest object in the sky over Franklin.

Happiness is a warm ass on a cold day

I've had people ask me , " What's on the work table ? "

Well , how 'bout a pair of small block Chevy engines , made by Revell , China ? Both are 1/6 scale and interesting to build. Being from China , they do have problems. However , with some grit on my teeth , I got past them all.

Both models are representation , small block Chevy engines. The orange block is the 350 Turbo Fire and the red engine is the Street Rod version , hence the need for lotz and lotz of show chrome.

The Street Rod needs tender loving care during assembly , otherwise , you will cover up the chrome in finger prints and " yesssss " , Revell comes true to it's problem causing maniacal debauchery , with the plug wires not being correct and the headers won't seat. Just be yourself , you'll figure something out. After all , I did it and so can you.

For some reason , when an engine gets an orange paint job , it just has to be for the Z-28. This model does not show it. Meanwhile , I laughed to the point of no return , upon realizing the amount of detail , Revell omitted from this model. Why ? I dunno. Look carefully and you can easily spot 2 of the many extra details , I added on. ( if the picture is too small , click on it )

Both Revell engine models , make pleasing desk fixtures , for the beholder's eyes to feast on. They just have a knack for bringing back memories of those early days , when all you had in your pocket on a Friday night , was 50 cents and a drivers learner permit.

Yep , I've built several of these models for my friends

It's finally been shown , drinkin coffee can cause hallucinations.

Here are reasons to improve your caffeinated intake:

1 - in 2008 , home foreclosures went up 81 % , while President Bush spent his time in The White House , shopping for and purchasing a multimillion dollar retirement ranch in Texas

2 - American companies are soooo broke , that after all of the bail out money is spent , there won't be any money left , for the government to pay income tax checks

3 - $ocial $ecurity is the only ca$h cow $till $tanding

BVD and Jerry were talking about America's economy and her future. You know , they are just doin what everyone else does , in times like these. BVD almost fell out of his chair upon realizing Jerry knew how to stop the meltdown

BVD : How's that again ? I mean , you know where President Obama can get all the money he needs and like , now , as in , right NOW ?
Jerry : Yep
BVD : I don't get you man. Where's all of this money ? Where did it come from
Jerry : Let's understand something first. If Obama prints another Trillion dollar bills , America's monetary value declines that much more , which is a really bad thing under the present circumstances. O Kay ? You with me so far
BVD : Yeah , go on please
Jerry : Well , I've gone over the things President Bush has done , before leaving his White House and guess what I found ?
BVD : An illegal moonshine still in the White House bomb shelter ?
Jerry : Nope. Better'n that :)
BVD : Maaaaaan , there ain't tooo many things better'n a whiskey still in a bomb shelter these days :)
Jerry : Yeah , I know , butt , this is better. Look , Bush has dipped into Obama's first year's budget. Check out these figures. ( Jerry shows BVD some budget stats , his eyes grow wider than their sockets )
BVD : Jerry , maaaaaaaan , is this real , I mean , for really real ?
Jerry : Yes , for really really real , man.
BVD : You're telling me , that even tho Bush is out of his White House , he's still spending my money ?
Jerry : Yep , for the next year , he sho nuff is
BVD : Soooooooo , how does President Obama get his hands on it ?
Jerry : Simple. He exerts the " Executive Privilege " powers , of the office , of The President of The United States
BVD : Soooo , in other words , this money is already printed and won't effect things the way they presently are ?
Jerry : Something like that , yes
BVD : Jerry , you are " The Man ". Damn , why didn't I think of that ? I mean , Hell , why didn't President Obama think of doin this ?
Jerry : The answer is simple. Everyone is thinking inside the box. Man , we've got to get outside of that damn box and stay outside of that damn box. That's the only way , this country is going be saved

Franklin , Tennessee - BVD News , for those who don't know it , the postal inspector has been around , shoveling their obtuse , arrogant asses into our postal employee's faces.
BVD : Do you know what's goin on ?
Jerry : I might know something , butt , these guys are so full of themselves , with their heads so far up their asses , all they can see is a golden image of Bush , with his hands raised high saying , " I have delivered you from terrorists. My mission is accomplished ".
BVD : Ha ha ha ha , oh man , that's cruel
Jerry : Ass I was saying , I don't think they can hear anything , goin on , outside their rectum

Washington D. C. - BVD Bloggtographer , yesterday President Bush had his last official public meeting with the news press.

BVD : Oooooo Man , that's the best photo angle I've ever seen of that president
Jerry : Yeah , it sure is. Ya know , until now , I hadn't realized just how photogenic Bush is.
BVD : One thing though , Bush uses 2 impersonators , how do we know this is the real him ?
Jerry : Who cares ? Come Friday , he's outta there , all 3 of them !
BVD : Yeah , you said it man , a change I can believe in.
Jerry : No , it's a change , " WE " , can all believe in

Later ,

BVD : Hhhmmmm , , , , ,
Jerry : ? , what ?
BVD : Well , you know how dysfunctional Bush acts in public these days
Jerry : Yeah , it was just him , doin' his signature act , so ?
BVD : Do ya think his impersonators will want to stay in The White House and ask Obama for a job , impersonating him ? I mean , think of the experience these 2 guys have racked up during Bush's Fantasy Lobster Land
Jerry : Ooooooooo , I dunno. Do ya think Obama needs a clown act ?
BVD : Hhmmm , er , ah , no , not really

Franklin , Tennessee - BVD News , some emails have arrived about why people want to live in Franklin. They don't understand about this town's law of , " Family and Friends First ".
You see , those people having connections with the law , are above the law and for everyone else , the law applies

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. The people living here are well known in the music biz. And , they are also well known for their weekend parties. For some strange reason , Franklin Police will not interrupt the festivities. Hmmm. Drugs are included. Hmmmm , again

BVD : OKay , why won't they arrest the people ?
Jerry : Bubba , how did Chief jackie get his job ?
BVD : I dunno
Jerry : He's a " Yes Man ". If he wasn't one , he would have been passed over during the hiring process , being conducted by Jay Johnson , who over saw the police department , at the time
BVD : Hmmm , speaking of JJ , I've noticed the chief has not been seen much since his departure.
Jerry : Well of course not. Without a boss telling him what to do , he's not sure about what to do. Now do you understand why the police department spends 450,000 dollars a month , on an " Automatic Button " ?
BVD : Ha ha ha , a what ? ( giggling )
Jerry : When ya don't have someone in charge , or even someone who knows what to do , the Automatic Button does it ALL for you.
BVD : Well , no wonder their CID won't do their job.
Jerry : You're catching on , are you ? :)
BVD : With the email you've gotten on this subject , have you thought about conducting a series ?
Jerry : Why ? If they can't figure this out by now , they ain't gonna

Franklin , Tennessee - BVD was all excited about his new couch coming from American Signature Furniture located @ 1770 Galleria Blvd. phone : 778-9557

Jerry : Hey man , nice couch. ( BVD was looking a little pissed ) Hmm , OK , , , what's the matter ?
BVD : I got pissed on. That's what's wrong
Jerry : Say what ? ( giggling )
BVD : Those two guys who delivered the couch. I let them use my bathroom and they pissed all over everything. I mean they got the floor , the sink , the walls , even my rubber ducky. Butt , they totally missed the toilet.
Jerry : Well , next time , when a stranger asks to use your toilet , you just say , " It don't work. "
BVD : I don't understand it. I was nice towards them , I even gave them both a freebie cold drink.
Jerry : Hmmm , so what were they ? Mexican ?
BVD : No , they were too black for that. Although maybe they could be Latino , butt , I dunno. I can't tell any more.
Jerry : Well , be careful , minorities are very easy to upset about their ethnicity you know.
BVD : Yeah , I know , why is that ? I mean , they are more concerned about that , than being an American.
Jerry : Well of course they are. After all , their ethnicity determines their Social Security check amount.
BVD : Hm , say what ?
Jerry : Yep , it sure does , I've covered that in this blog already.
BVD : Hm , well , OK then. Butt that ain't no excuse to piss all over my bath room. Don't minorities know what a toilet is ? I mean , ain't they supposed to be house broke or something ? Are'nt they taught about toilets in school ?
Jerry : I dunno. Speaking for myself , I'm an American first and a minority second and I am house broken. Wanna see these pictures ? I've got a great shot of your ducky dripping urine down it's beak.
BVD : Umm , no. I'll get the cleaning gear.
Jerry : ( gets the gloves ) Ya know , it could have been a lot worse
BVD : Hmmmmm , what ? How's that ? Oh , NO ! Wait ! ! I don't wonna hear it. I just know what your gonna say
Jerry : And just what would that be ?
BVD : It coulda have been Franklin Police pissing on me
Jerry : Hmmmm , yep ! You 'R sooo right.

Franklin , Tennessee - BVD Bloggtographer , ya knowsz howsz it goesz , ya show yur ass and people make jokes about it. Heresz one of the more popular , trendy , holiday, fun time jokes , about Franklin's favorite police department

Franklin , Tennessee - BVD Bloggtographer , have you seen CRASH ? Its a multi-tasking-media soap opera :) Anyway , there are rumors goin 'round , that The Franklin Police Department , was used ass advisers , by the show's script writers. Here's one of my favorite scenes seen.

Franklin , Tennessee - when it rains in Franklin , it's pooring in Franklin and that's exactly what happened to 3 kids this holiday season. There were these kids in town , visiting with friends during their holiday break from college and wouldn't you know it , those friendships went south and the 3 kids suddenly found themselves out in the street , with no where to go. Soooo , not wanting to return to school just yet , these kids decided to camp out in a vacant house , using an open window for entry.

The homeowner found out and called the police. At the moment , the kids were not there , butt , their belongings were. A sample of items present was a vehicle title , credit card , prescription drugs , paper roller , various clothing , suit cases and a really nice looking camera.

This camera has lots of buttons and a large LCD screen. It looks like one of those 600+ dollar cameras. It was reeeeeeeally nice. The police officer smilingly made the remark , " Keep what ever you find. Their stuff does not belong here. "

I'll shorten this story. It's interesting the police kept the card and drugs. " It's for safe keeping. " an officer said. " They can come on down to headquarters and claim their things. " ( this is an old police trick. The person shows up to claim their property and they get arrested at the same time. This tactic saves the police a lot of hassle tracking down the right " wanted " person )

Hmmmm , where's the camera ? It's interesting to note that suddenly , Franklin Police did not know anything about a camera. I know about the camera because I saw it. You would think the police would especially want to keep that item safe from thievery , right along with the other items , I mean , after all , doesn't a police officer's responsibilities include safe guarding personal property ? Hmmmmmmmmm , and yet , it looks like the police may have 5 fingered a camera.

Meanwhile , the police got statements from a Bob Parks real estate consultant. Some of the remarks were lies , butt , the police ate 'em up any way. ( it's interesting this consultant had earlier stated , that it was illegal for him to be there , under the circumstances , so , why is he there AND talking to the police ? )

I'll wrap this up - just because these kids did something really stupid , does not mean , it's OK to steal their stuff and just because these kids showed a horrible lack of respect and common sense , does not mean it's OK to tell lies about what they had done.

Oh yeah , for those who think I'm making this story up , here's the case number. 2009000015 Also , keep in mind , this is the kind of stuff , you won't find Mitchel Kline writing about , in your local news paper.

This incident is a good example of what's gone wrong with this country. It's not a wonder to me , why GOD no longer blesses America.

For some reason , I'm getting questions about PayPal. Ok , here's what I know.

Ebay owns PayPal and today , Ebay is requiring " ALL " transactions to be paid thru PayPal. ( of course a seller can accept other types of payments if they want to ) The reasons for this is rather obvious. Ebay makes more money.

So , what is PayPal ? It's a money bearing account , consisting only of ca$h , that allows you to pay for items without using a credit card. ( keep in mind , PayPal is earning interest on your money while giving you nothing in return ) That's right. It's free money for PayPal/Ebay to make money , in interest terms , while giving the owners nothing in return.

Yes, it is true , PayPal allows you to get into their money market fund. I've been in it for 5 months now and I've only made a whopping .04 cents on my 100 dollar$. Hmmmm.

So now then , when you shop on Ebay and wonder why a seller only accepts PayPal , now you know that it's a Ebay money making trip at " YOUR " expense. And " NO " , just because you bought something using PayPal , it does not mean you are fully protected. From looking over the damning scamming information , it makes me think that PayPal and Navy Lodge Yokohama , have something going together , BUTT , that's another story for another day.

Franklin , Tennessee - BVD bloggtographer commentary , ass Franklin's growth continues in an uneven , inconceivable spiral , people continue to ask each other , " Why ? " .

During a party , the host got around to bragging about his new deck , that he personally built. He talked about the unexpected costs of materials and the man hours he toiled and labored , including the many nights he toiled and hammered 'til 3 in the morning.

He accomplished his new deck , without permit or permission , or even a codes inspection. He laughingly joked about his neighbors complaining of the noises he made , night after night after night.

So , why do people want to live here ? Because they have connections , that give them certain , unalienable privileges , that commoners don't have. These people don't get speeding tickets or get arrested for DUI. They don't need permits or codes inspections. Hell , they even get a break on property taxes.

Here in Franklin , a small group of people control the city. They don't worry about getting elected because no one can vote for them. Meanwhile , the elected officials have no real power , because this " group of people " won't let them have it. And , they hold the reins controlling Franklin Police.

I have no connections with this " group of people ". I have not accepted money under the table or even shared in stolen police booty. Because of this , I can talk freely about them. Now do you understand why so many people want to live here ? Now do you understand why there is no logic to Franklin's planned growth ? Now do you understand why a school is being built , without planning ? Now do you understand the silly horseshit over the theater ? Now do you understand why money is spend on stupid projects , instead of necessary projects ? Now do you understand what a Franklin " Wacko " is ? Now do you understand why , , , , , , , ?

And , oh yeah , HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! !
