Fucking unbelievable, three years ago I decided to stop harassing Lawrence.com blog participants and started at blog three years ago which developed into this blog two years ago this week.

Shit I hate the word blog although I am one of bloggings biggest advocates. I wish there could be some sort of name change, but it has unfortunately been woven too deep in internet consciousness.

My “online diary” is my way of communicating, which is one of the most powerful drives humans possess. GAG!
Unlike most folks I did not start ranting here to specifically communicate to folks on the outside world or to “share” my views because the longer I blog the more poison my twisted take on all things political seems to get.

Despite what some might view as over the top ranting I have been exceedingly disappointed that few have given me direct feedback. However I realize that when I do decide to rant about a given topic I rarely leave little wiggle room for any discussion or feedback. My readers are likely stunned and in utter disbelief that such a nice Negro could freely unleash such angry rhetoric without batting an eye.

I have said often to people what I rant about are indeed my true feelings. The angry rants and foul mouth laced tirades that seem to stir inside the grey matter are indeed what gets banged out on my keyboard.
Sugar coating my thoughts or trying to put some sort of Shakespearian twist on raw emotions is frankly boorish and pointless.
As wrong as some of you might think I am on some issues airing my general grievances in an unfiltered manner frankly gives you a better perspective on me personally.
As I have said from day one, this blog is more a therapeutic exercise for me than anything else.

There are no doubt those in the blogging world who would lament that technology has brought us social isolation. With cell phones, faxes, email, and the internet enable us to work and carry on with the business of life without the need for face to face, human interaction and that perhaps blogging is a way for us to reach out and connect with others of similar interests and backgrounds, just as we might have “gathered in the town square” 200 years ago. GAG!
Well I don’t have to tell you people that 200 years ago I might have been some house Nigger on a plantation somewhere and I certainly would not be a participatory member of early American society.

I once said, or at least I think I said once said that one of my reasons why I blog is to ensure that the white folks who happen to find their way here know that all of us Negros are not monolithic in our thinking.
We all don’t think whitey is out to get us, we all are not Muslims with bow ties selling bean pies on street corners, we all don’t gorge ourselves with fried chicken and watermelon, we all don’t like fucken pigs feet and chitlins.
We all don’t vote Democrat like a bunch of slaves, don’t consider Bill Clinton as the first black president an do not consider the gubment my “daddy!”
Some of us think that baggy pants and wearing house slippers and do-rags to Walmart is just wrong!
Some of us value education and some of us don’t think that putting shiny rims on cars or adding shiny shit to your teeth makes you cool and think that drinking Hennessey to be Negro trendy is frankly silly. Shit I hate Hennessey, don’t like Malt Liquor, and never understood why menthol cigarettes were the preferred choice of slow death amongst black folks.

I am not under any delusions that my ranting here will change any minds. To the vast majority of rednecks a nigger is a nigger is a nigger.
Some bloggers are under the drug induced delusion that they can stimulate people to think in new ways or build bridges to understanding or that blogging would make an individual more interesting person. GAG!
I was under the notion for a time that blogging caused me to think things through a lot more thoroughly or challenged my preconceptions that would makes me think harder before I formed opinions. That was a fucken fairytale notion.
Blogging has not made me more insightful, more open to new ideas or given me richer opinions and perspectives.
I’m still an insular middle age bastard who is incapable of processing vision through rose colored glasses. When I see a politician all I can process is the shit on the bottom of their shoes.

Blogging positives, I do however think that so many individuals willing to dedicate time to express ideas and opinions will make for great reading research someday.
Although I don’t write as much as I should tho I am attempting to write more, my collection of posts with pictures accompanying my rants will hopefully expose my tiny little vision of the world as I saw it.
I see my little blog as my literary graffiti contribution to future generations in particular my grandkids and those who will live on long after me.
Man I wish I could have read the opinions and thoughts of my grandparents and family members long passed. It may help explain some of my foibles.

I am honestly very surprised that I have stuck with this for two consecutive years; actually I had my prior blog The Snoop Zone for almost a year prior to this one.
Blogging has improved my reading comprehension, my writing skills to some degree although I am still a grammar and spelling Nazi’s worst nightmare.
What blogging does for me is it forces me to stay in touch and to stay engaged. However, most of all via my daily reads of many my favorite blog warriors I am comforted in the fact that although my opinions of liberals and Democrats are exceedingly harsh and critical there are those who share the same frustrations and who can see through all the political bullshit that exists out there.
I think that by having so many people out there on both sides of the political divide willing to dedicate countless hours shining the light on the scores of political rats who continually degrade our society is beneficial to society at large.
However if my cranky rants manage to stand the test of cyberspace time I can’t help but to chuckle at the reaction of future family generations reading my profane angry rants.
“damm great grandpa or uncle Snoop was a crazy bastard back in the day” Not exactly Roman or Egyptian scrolls or great English literature but somewhat interesting.
