tumblr_o8irbsPcFR1qz9v0to3_500well that was crazy talk

i read it last sunday, just like i have every sunday for the last ten years or so

or twenty? who knows. who cares.

all i know is its good to have a little routine in your life if youre a somewhat crazy person like i am.

i have to do my laundry now. this is probably the only sad thing about my life. my landlord and my request to put a washer dryer in my apartment.

at the beginning of the year i called her to ask her if i needed to do anything to get a washer dryer and she said first of all you cant have one

i said but everyone else has one.

and she said and secondly youd have to write a letter asking if you can have one. so i wrote the letter and it was not answered. now a lot of things could have happened. for example it could have gotten lost somewhere between hollywood and santa monica. it was probably routed to downtown and then something crazy could have happened to it like it was burned by clowns on a smoke break.

or she doesnt really respect me because i pay the lowest rent in the building. and she thinks that if i have to haul my laundry to the laundramat all the time i’ll eventually get fed up with the lack of basic laundry equipment and move.

but ive lived here over 15 years. the first five of those years i didnt even have a car and i still figured out how to get my clothes to the laundramat. now i have a bad ass german luxurymobile. i can get my cubs shirts cleaned, have no fear.

you know what the bible teaches about this? it teaches that i should keep asking. moses’s jews were slaves in egypt. he had no leverage, just like how i dont neither. but he kept saying let my people go. of course he also said i will torture you through freaky plagues, but at the root of it – moses was gonna keep asking until it happened.

part of me wants to say, look i’ll pay $20 more a month, you know, to cover any water costs. but fuck that. she never responded to my first letter. why should she get an extra $140 a year for being rude to me? i dont even spend that in a year in quarters at the laundromat.

but i will ask again. i will say. hello, tony pierce here. earlier this year i sent a letter about me purchasing a washer dryer. i believe clowns may be involved and intercepted the request. may i please install a washer dryer in my apartment, in the spot where there are washer dryer hook ups ready to go? thank you so much.

hopefully shes been reading the bible too

sometimes i dont know any more

tony awardsyou do your thing, you walk around. you drive around. you talk to people. the people seem reasonable.

but then you go on the internet and something changes. everyone loses their minds.

were their minds always lost? is my mind lost?

when something happens 1,000 times and every time is sad and every time is horrible, shouldnt it be changed?

since the massacre at Sandy Hook where 20 little innocent kids were gunned down there have been 998 mass shootings in the USA. the land of the free. my home sweet home.

of those 998 only three of the mass shootings were at the hands of Muslims.

and yet the LA Times, my hometown paper, allows Jonah Goldberg to write a column about how its all the Muslims’ fault. and how Obama is weird by not calling it Islama Fascism or whatever Jonah Goldberg wants him to call it. and the Times pays him money for this.

meanwhile of the 998 mass killings, all have been done by men.

most of them white men.

when will Jonah Goldberg whine that Obama doesnt tell the world that what we have here is a White Man With A Gun Problem?

who will the LA Times pay to write that? you know, something that’s based in actual math and science instead of malarkey gleaned from the Fox News talking points.

no one will write it there because, it’s not really a White Man With A Gun problem, it’s just a plain old gun problem.

there are some guns we shouldnt have. and there are ways that we should be selling and registering and keeping an eye on these guns that is the problem.

duh

and thats why i feel like sometimes i just dont know. because some very smart people really truly believe in their hearts

that if we treated guns like how we treat cars, which is to say, in order to get and keep a gun

you would have to prove you are capable of using one, you have to register it, you have to maintain it, you have to do all the paperwork, etc.

these smart people really think that it would lead to us taking away

all

of the guns.

they forget or ignore the fact that we haven’t taken away

all

of the anything in the usa.

hand grenades are illegal but there are still a few floating around.cartoon

a man can’t have a bazooka, but every now and then you find someone with one.

all we are asking for is a reasonable adjustment to these unreasonable actions occurring to innocent people.

like i said yesterday, i believe this change will come.

i believe the tides will change. i believe we will start voting out representatives who care more about money flowing in from the NRA than they do about blood flowing out of innocent victims.

we will return to being the home of the brave

and we will let go of some of the machine guns that have ruined the lives of far too many innocent families.

we are not a stupid scared fucked up terrible ignorant doomed nation of jonah goldbergs

who like to blame boogeymen and not ourselves.

this is not a muslim problem or even a white man with a gun problem.

this is an american problem

that will be fixed by americans.

which is why i cant wait to vote.
