Nope, I have moved on to the “I don’t give a rat’s ass” period of my life. For those of you that read this blog or follow me on Ask Dawn, Twitter, Facebook on both my Dawn Bloodworth or my K D Bloodworth Author page, you probably should read this post. Many of you have known be before first grade. That’s a long freaking time. Many have known me for ten, 20 and even 30+ years. If you don’t get me by now, there might not be any hope. But that’s on you, because I get me.
I’m not a well-known comedian that even the most politically correct will laugh. However, I have always and I will probably always make light of or make fun of the following people: Whites, blacks, browns, yellow, reds, and all shades in-between. Tall people, short people, little people, thin people, skinny people, large people, fat people. Smart people, dumb people, slow people and special people, which I still don’t get that term. What makes them any more special than the rest of us? Working people, out of work people, hard-working people, lazy people. Doctors, lawyers, bakers, bankers, firemen, police and Indian Chiefs. Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, National Guard and Long Shore Men. Actors, TV, Movies or on Stage. Catholics, Baptist, Methodius, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses’, Muslims and all the rest. Farmers, factory workers, fishermen, and fools. Straight people, gay people, and all the others. Germans, Polish, Irish, Arabs, Canadians, Americans, Mexicans, Africans, British, Islanders, Yankees, Southerners, Rednecks, Mid-westerners, Westerners, California folks, cattle herders and sheep herders. Democrats, Republicans, Independents , Tea Party and yes the President and his family. But most of all, I will and always have, made light of myself first and the most. Because, we are all humans and we are funny as hell.
I’m an almost 65-year-old, white, retired, over weight, greying, American. I have lived through a lot in my short 64.8 years on this earth and I have earned the right to make light of it all. Did you notice I said I was an American? Not a German/American, or a Mexican/American, or an African/American. After my family and God (which I couldn’t have one without the other) comes my country. All of you that fought so hard to live here, either legally or illegally, shut the hell up about your home country or your ancestry. If you are that proud that you will put that country above American, then go the hell back. Otherwise, you are an American like the rest of us! Period! Knock that other crap off!
When people, including myself, stop doing stupid stuff or acting life fools that we all are, I will lay off. If I label someone, sorry, that’s my opinion and if it makes my joke or statement funnier or more effective, then I will say it. If you don’t like it, then don’t finish reading it, skip over it, forget about it, don’t read anything else I have to say, write or post.
But for crying out loud, stop arguing and posting ugly messages. You can post your opinions and comments all you want, but so can I. If you disagree with my humor, so be it, but you don’t have to be ugly about it. Personally, I think your politically correct ass should lighten up a bit and start laughing at just how stupid the world we live in has become.
With that said, in view of the events over the past few weeks, I will not apologize for any thing I have said about the protest and rioting (again) in our streets. If you are out there talking and acting like fools, I’m going to make fun of your dumb ass, white, black or brown. When this crap stops I’m sure I will find more than enough subjects to piss people off.
In the mean time, did you hear about the woman who walked into a bar carrying a duck? Bartender says, “You can’t bring that pig in here.” The woman gets all provoked and says, “Sir, this is a duck, not a pig.” Bartender says, “I was talking to the duck!”
