Think About It

As we approach the 235^th anniversary of or great country, I’d figured I’d give you some light food for thought since pretty much we all well be pigging out this weekend.  Just some things that have been on my mind.  First of all I’d like to say I’m thankful for all of our loyal readers….oh wait, wrong holiday.  But I am thankful for you all, so there.

• First off, like Obstructed Views on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @Obs_Views_Blog  Yes, I will keep bugging until you do, so make things easier for all of us and just do it.  Seriously.

• So I heard today that Charlie Sheen was on steroids during the filming of Major League.   This is news?  Quite frankly who cares?  Besides, it was pretty realistic since most players back then were on the juice.  Duh.  Where do you think he got all that heat for his fastball from?

• Gay marriage is back in the news again.  Kudos to New York for allowing same sex marriage.  Once again the haters were out.  David Tyree of the New York Giants even went as far as saying that he would give up his amazing catch from the Super Bowl if it meant stopping gay marriage (or something to that nature).  Huh?  Be careful what you wish for pal.  That catch is all you have.  My beef is what is the big deal?  I’m not saying everyone has to like gay people or the fact people are gay, but who are they hurting?  It’s not a disease that you can catch.  Is someone being gay really affecting your everyday life?  People, if this is what bothers your life, then you have bigger issues than gay people.  As far as I’m concerned what goes on behind closed doors goes on behind closed doors.  If you were meant to see then the door wouldn’t be closed would it?  Go ahead and give the religious argument and I’ll show you not one religion that says you should judge other people.  If God, Allah, Buddha, Jeebus, or any other Supreme Being has an issue with said person being gay, then isn’t that between said person and said Supreme Being?  Who are you and why should you put in your 2 cents?  Last time I checked you’re not Kyle, so shut up.  Also, I’d love to know how many of these “haters” are either secretly gay themselves or at least have watched lesbian porn?  Think about it……..

• I’ve been reading more and more about people saying money isn’t everything and money can’t buy happiness and blah blah blah.  Most of those people are poor by the way.  Well I’m here to tell you they are wrong.  In order to have anything in this world you need money.  The world revolves around it.  Sure maybe deep down money can’t buy happiness but it can buy a lot of things that will make me happy……think about it.

• In Argentina one of their soccer teams has been relegated to tier B, for the first time in their 110 year history.  Ordinarily I’d say so what but I like this idea.  Our sports leagues should have them.  “Sorry Pittsburgh Pirates, you’ve been relegated to Triple A and have been replaced by the Columbus Clippers.”  Or “Sorry Carolina Panthers, you’ve been relegated to the SEC and have been replaced by the Auburn Tigers.”  Kind of cool if you think about and it would force owners to spend money.

• Speaking of relegation, how cool would it be to have this in everyday life.  Instead of breaking up with someone, you could relegate them to the B team.  “Sorry sweetie, your performance has not been up to par so you’ve been relegated to the B team and replaced with (insert name here).  Keep working hard and improve your game and we will evaluate your status after next season………”  It could even work with jobs.  “Sorry…..well you get the point.  I’m already going to catch enough shit as it is.

That’s about all I have for today.  As you’re sitting on the beach celebrating what a group of Treasonous Rebels did, what? That’s technically what they did, think about it.  Not saying there’s anything wrong with that, in fact I will drink a beer to each and every one of our founding fathers this weekend as celebration for what they’ve done for our great country.  But as I was saying, as your sitting on the beach or backyard remember to tell your friends about Obstructed Views.  We are closing in on almost 1000 views in less than a month.  Awesome.  Thanks for reading and happy 4^th of July and Happy Birthday America!  Until next time this is Jimbo saying it’s like that, and that’s the way it is.
