Are you an Asshat?

So I have been away for a little while. I admit I did take a break from this blog, because I was feeling a little drained. In the last 4 months, I make approximatly 70 posts to this blog. That might not seem like much, but that translates to a post essentially every other day. That is a tough act to keep up and i needed a break to recharge my batteries. I am feeling more refreshed now, so I will try to keep this updated regularly(not neccesarily every other day, but perhaps 3 times weekly).

So here is my rant for the day. Have you noticed there is a word that gets used way to much and ends up being a word that everyone seems to use? Well according to my very unscientific poll the word of 2004 was: ASSHAT. Thats right, I heard people use this everywhere. I have heard some people refer to the Red Sox as ASSHATS. I have heard people call John Kerry an Asshat. I have heard people call "Taxachusetes" the "ASSHAT CAPITOL" whereas I have also heard some people refer to Ohio as a collective group of ASSHATS.

I think all of yall are wrong. Each and everyone of you. Ohio, Taxachestes, and the Red Sox are not asshats. I have had the oppertunity to visit Ohio, Taxachusetes, and have seen the Red Sox play and I can say none of them are asshats. I might not support the Red Sox(I dont), may not like Taxachestes(what I saw and expierenced I did not like), and may not want to move to Ohio(did not like Cleveland too much). However I have expierenced all of this, and becuase I have traveled and collected my own opinion on it, I reserve the right to refer to people as ASSHATS.

For example, when I visted Europe, I stopped by Paris. The Parisians were extremely rude to me and treated me badly becuase I did not speak their language. They rolled their eyes when I tried to pronounce their words and were visably disgusted when I pulled out a small French dictionary to try to determine what they just said. Therefore I say the Parisans are ASSHATS. This is a statement based on my expierences, not on something I have read or seen on the TV.

The people who are the REAL ASSHATS are those that sit in front of their computers, see something on TV that they don't like, and then condemn an entire group of people as ASSHATS. The United States is a vast a wonderful place to visit. If you cannot afford a plane trip, drive. Get out of your region and see somehting new. If you live in the North East, go to the Midwest or the South. If you live in the midwest visit the South . If you live in the West coast, visit the Midwest. My point is is simply this, if you comment on that which you dont know(such as saying that Ohio is a made up of a bunch of ASSHATS), then you have shown everyone that YOU are the REAL ASSHAT.
