Thought of the Day – “011011001” in Spanish, Of Course?!

I’ve noticed that I rarely can wait for a movie or album to be released on their scheduled dates. Oftentimes, I find myself watching the movie, or listening to the album, from online site. The other day I was Continue reading →
So, this is gonna draw out the Hate Mail! Here goes… wait… DO NOT READ past this line if you do not like to laugh at yourself, or are easily offended, which is kinda basically the same thing. Okay… now here goes… Continue reading →
Okay, this might be a little lazy, but the truth is that I am reposting this for a specific reason. There have been only a few times in my life that I have experienced racism. Actually, I can only recall one other incident… and that was from a cop in Florida who insisted that I was a drug dealer, or had drugs, or was on drugs, or was thinking about drugs… and who had pulled me over for no other reason. Couldn’t even give me a ticket for speeding, but kept me there for a little over half an hour waiting for me to confess. (After the search I met my friends at Waffle House, ate a hearty breakfast, then went back to our campsite and got WAY baked… and then had a wonderful day at the beach! :p )
But, on Monday, at the hospital, I saw blatant racism against Hispanics, in general… and it really pissed me off. I will explain it all sometime soon when I share the entire story (which will be hilarious!). Don’t get me wrong… it was not from everyone on the staff… there were/are some great men and women (mostly the women) that were very helpful and that were actually concerned for everyone. But, there were two bad apples (sorry, male nurses) that actually shocked me because I have been so sheltered that I have never really seen, or heard, true racism.
I really would like everyone to watch the video at the end of this TOTD. It sums up EXACTLY how I feel about this issue. I cannot think of a better way to express my thoughts… so I am sharing this… again. All I ask from my friends, and family, and people reading this (who I consider “friends” now) is to be thoughtful… to think… to mull this issue over in your mind… and no matter the outcome of that… at least there has been a willful thought process… and that is all I want.
Oh, and if you enjoyed this, if it made you laugh, or think, or even want to use the restroom… please, follow the blog, sign up for the email, and “like” my Facebook page. When I get to a 1,000 followers and 200 “likes”… they give all my fans a free car of their choice. Honest to God… I would not lie to you about that! (Disclaimer: Senator Brett is like all politicians… therfore… a HUGE liar!)
Thought of the Day – Happy Freedom Day, Aliens!
by Senator Brett
On today, of all days, may we internally remember that while our country is so divided on so many, MANY, social and political issues… if our spirit is good, our minds are clear, our eyes are awake and our books are laid open and used… then we, as one nation, can accomplish so many great things. Happy 4th of July, everyone.
Although, to be fair, Continue reading →
I wrote this when I lived in Dallas. And, as always… I apologize if this offends anyone. I seem to say that a lot!
Thought of the Day – That Ain’t Chipotle Enough For Me
by Senator Brett
Occasionally, on the way to work I will pass by the Latino Cultural Center of Dallas, which in it’s simple, rustic orange exterior seems like a fine building in itself… but it always leaves me thinking… “Hey, shouldn’t this building be about seventy-five different bright colors? Shouldn’t there be Continue reading →
As usual, I apologize if this offends anyone. I mean no disrespect to you, your race, your friends or family. I do, however, intend to offend my own personal self and family!
Thought of the Day – Heavenly Mexicans!
by Senator Brett
Last night my niece was explaining to me that if you love Jesus that you will go to Heaven when you die and live in a big house on a street made of pure gold. She was extremely excited about this prospect and told me that I should love Jesus so I can go to Heaven and have a big house on a street of gold, too.
And, it got me to thinking… Continue reading →
