1007 miles 2 and a half days pride the sky way

Well we went to 2 of the ten planned prides it rained both saturday at boston and sunday at washington dc pride. many of the pics are on my face book page!!

Martz, Me, Tip Top Mistake

Well first lets start by saying a month in to martz I am still not sure it is going to work out. They are just something like a burn and churn operation!!!!

Secondly I just am still in morning over the end of Art and I's relationship I realized that it had become toxic. Him always telling me what I should do and to go with direction in stead of just supporting my direction.

And I really have been in a funk today cuz yesterday I worked 15 and a 1/2 Hours for tip top. Not on the agreed apon 9 hours!! Then when it became clear I can not work 2, 15 hour days and told them i would not be able to do it today. They had the nerve to say if you do not work today we will not pay you for yesterday. Now all day i am going through a haze still tired from yesterday and Damn glad I did not Attended the event today.  (Would like to have seen Alex again though)

I really miss Jason today It has been 5 months scents his sudden passing. But the pain still lingers. The questions still remain, And the person I feel is ultimately responsible for his death mother coldness is still alive. And free. But In a bit of irony she has not seen here "supposed" grandkids sends the time of his passing. Well i wish nothing but eternal damn nation on that evil woman. 

People that I would have never suspected having difficulty with his passing have. Shawn and Gary both still beside them selves. These are tuff kids with really rough backgrounds. That have seen people around them die. He touched them in such a way that he stands out.

Another thing I have been focusing my time is the up coming wedding (s). we are having a ceremony here and going in front justice of the peace in Washington DC. 

Brian makes me literally pinch my self at least once a day. he takes the time to know all (I MEAN ALL) of my likes and dislikes. he never offends and never wounds, Never says spitfull words.  He also very much of a mind reader. he knows what will make me happy, sad, mad, smile, dream, love, touch, (even sneeze)

HE KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME SMILE, LAUGH AND HAVE FUN ON EVEN MY WORST DAY. He seems as if he has nothing to prove nothing, He takes on the world and me makes it his own, With his love I finally feel it back. It is as if everything i have every put out in to the universe I have gotten back every day for 7 months.

The money issue (the 800 lbs gorilla in any relationship) Is not a problem at all he gives equally and that is such a change from the past were I have either been the bread winner or the feeling like a leach.

I am ready to go when it is my time but I do not want it to be for 90 years so i can soak up every minute. welcome to sky part 3

love always,

sky tripp-shaefer

"Don't follow"

"Don't follow"

Hey, I ain't never coming
Home
Hey, I'll just wander my
Own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow

Hey you, you're livin'
Life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that
Bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake
Me round now
I get so lost and don't
Know how
And it hurts to care, so I won't now

Forgot my woman, lost my
Friends
Things I'd done and where
I've been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors
Cold
See my face it's growin'
Old
Scared to death no reason
Why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I
Said
Read the page it's cold
And dead

Take me home
Yeah, take me home
Take me home
Take me home, yeah
Take me home

Say goodbye, don't follow

This is the song i plan to play at My wedding For thoughts that could not be there that have died by the needles or the bottles

the end of an era and the start of something new

I have a confession to make I do not like kids, which is very odd because for the last 12 months I have been a bus driver and before that 3 months for bus monitor. I did this to push my limits, I did this to figure out why I do not like kids and i realized it 3 weeks ago. I do not like the maturity level. You can not have a regular conversation with a 5 year old.

The reason I waited for 18 months to find other job (see below), Is because I did not want to what happened in 08 again. I do not want to be unemployed and making ends meet by doing crappy work!!

well I found a new job Martz/Grey lines in dc I start training Monday at 8am. It is a union job, it is full time, It is not driving kids and watching kids, And it has awesome benefits. It is a little further from the house but it is one shift a day. 8 or 10 hours then go home and not 3 hours go home for 4 hours then go back for another 3 hours.

So wish me luck.........

tuesday april, 13, 2010

Finally msnbc has come to Sirius/xm radio channel 90 thank goodness. and my unemployment benefits have been reassed and now i get 271 a week awesome (way better then 75 dollars a week). It is a good week all around!!

I got engaged I popped the question to Brian on valentines day pics are on my Facebook. we had 2 blizzards in one week spent 13 days with no school. I have been sort of not feeling this blog thing for a minute. With face book and picasa. I update well at least ten times a day (lol almost). But here is something i just had to blog about read below:

As I left the parking lot @ elk ridge elementary I realized that there was 3 kids in 1 seat at the
light. I asked _________________ to please move. She said “no”.Again and again I asked to move to the seat behind her. And again and again she refused. After making the left on to parkway .I pulled off to the right in a safe place.

Stood up from the drivers seat and told her you need to move..... she responded “You WHO??” I
responded you. She then said “no I am not moving”. I responded “OK what is your name??”. She said my name is Charley brown.” then a varied number of different. “Names”. So I asked the other kids on the bus. “what is her name so I can write her up and we can go home”. That is when she began screaming at me she did nothing wrong. And I had no right to write her up then she stood up from her seat and and started screaming and saying no no no no. in the middle of one of her words he attempted to spit at me I moved a side. I Then asked again In a much louder more a firming voice “if any one on the bus knew her “real name” so that should could be written up and we could move on”. At this point the back 2/3's of the bus stood up and started screaming at me to stop picking on her and she did nothing wrong, and what was my beef with her!! Among other very threatening things.

It was at this time I felt threatened to the point I called 911. I told them the location and that I needed an officer on the seen

After getting off the phone with 911. I saw a federal K9 unit officer and flagged him down. He
informed me he was rather limited in this jurisdiction. He waited with me until about 30 minutes later a Howard county officer arrived on seen. Before the county police arrived Jeff Poole owner of tip top arrived. Also several of the parents arrived also and tried to unload there children from the bus which I did not allow to happen. I was then told to drive to the park n ride by the county officer. Where he then escorted_________________off the bus.

well that was fucking unbelievable.

LITTLE JOHNNY

It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do.

All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal.

Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today."

Little Johnny says to himself "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question."

Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?"

Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln."

Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home."

Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.

Teacher: "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?"

Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin Luther King."

Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go."

Johnny is even madder than before.

Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?"

Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy."

Teacher: "That's right Nancy, you may also leave."

Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions.

When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, "I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut!"

The teacher turns around: "NOW WHO SAID THAT?"

Johnny: "TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?"

Illinois GOP Senate primaries hit a homophobic low-note

Filed by: Phil Reese

December 28, 2009 8:00 PM

While openly gay Jacob Meister campaigns over on the Democratic side, it seems the Republican contest for the Senate seat once held by President Barack Obama is the contest with the real gay scandal. Illinois Republican Representative and active Navy Intelligence reservist Mark Kirk--who has voted against the homophobic Federal Marriage Amendment, and in favor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act--now has to field schoolyard taunts from one of his primary competitors, Andy Martin; the "Obama is secretly Muslim" guy.

Comparing this situation with a similar controversy taking place in the same race for the other party's candidate, openly gay Democratic primary candidate, Jacob Meister, released a statement this afternoon, saying in part:

As the only openly gay candidate for the U.S. Senate, I have experienced firsthand the bigotry and prejudice that the sexual orientation issue evokes. The subtle innuendo of the 'family values' issue, used by politicians such as Sarah Palin, Andy Martin and my opponent, David Hoffman, to infer that people who are lawfully refused the right to marry or begin a family are somehow less 'qualified' and relegated to second-class citizen status, must stop.

This is nothing less than an assault on the civil rights of all Americans, including the tens of millions of gay and lesbian people living in this country. It is appalling that we live in an America that still allows one's sexual orientation to be used as fodder for political attacks and, worse yet, as an obstacle to the civil rights availed to all of us through the constitution of the United States.

During the course of this campaign, my sexual orientation has been the source of underhanded remarks from my opponent, David Hoffman; the catalyst for a verbal and threatened physical attack toward a member of my staff; and the justification for one online suburban publication to accuse me of treason. Despite the enormous economic, national security and domestic policy challenges on which I have tried to focus my campaign - some think it more important to question someone's sexual orientation than to propose their own ideas on how to confront the many problems that desperately need our attention.

Kirk is the front-runner for the GOP nomination this February 2, and is expected to win. The Illinois Republican party quickly released a statement disavowing Andy Martin and the rumors, including this statement from party chair, Patrick Brady, "His statements today are consistent with his history of bizarre behavior and often times hate-filled speech which has no place in the Illinois Republican Party. Mr. Martin will no longer be recognized as a legitimate Republican candidate by the Illinois Republican Party." However, with a month to go, Martin will likely continue pushing the issue.

Martin is currently running the following radio ad on Chicago Tribune owned WBBM 780:

I'm Andy Martin, Republican candidate for United States Senator. I approved this message because Illinois Republicans deserve the truth about their candidates.

I have over forty years of experience and integrity fighting corruption, and fighting for the truth in politics.

I helped expose many of Barack Obama's lies in 2008.

Today, I am fighting for the facts about Mark Kirk. Illinois Republican leader Jack Roeser says there is a, "solid rumor that Kirk is a homosexual." Roeser suggests that Kirk is part of a Republican Party homosexual club. Lake County Illinois Republican leader Ray True says Kirk has surrounded himself with homosexuals.

Mark Kirk should tell Republican voters the truth.

I'm Andy Martin a Republican you can trust for U.S. Senator.

Please vote for Andy Martin.

Paid for by Illinois Republicans for Andy Martin.

Blatant homophobic scare tactics hardly begin to cover this.

This is a man who has brought so many frivolous lawsuits to trial that he was found unfit to practice law by the Illinois Supreme Court. In 2008 the New York Times called him "The man behind the whispers about Obama." That story stated Martin "filed so many lawsuits that a judge barred him from doing so in any federal court without preliminary approval."

Eric Elk, Kirk's campaign manager, said in a statement that "the ad is not true and is degrading to the political process. The people of Illinois deserve better."

According to the Chicago Tribune's "Clout Street" blog:

True said today that he "never made that statement" attributed to him by Martin. True said he appeared recently on a show hosted by Roeser on WIND-AM (560) and "I made a comment not about him (Kirk) at all, but that there were some people on his (Kirk's) staff that had a special orientation."

"I never said Mark was a homosexual and there's no evidence to that fact," True said in a telephone interview. "We know each other well."

The piece goes on to show us just how low Martin will go--even dropping hefty doses of antisemitism along the way [emphasis mine]:

...For decades, Martin, previously known as Anthony R. Martin-Trigona, has sought a variety of public offices as a Democrat and as a Republican.

In Illinois, he received 34 percent of the vote in 2008 in losing a two-man race for the GOP U.S. Senate nomination to the little-known Steve Sauerberg. In 2006, he got less than 1 percent of the vote in a multi-candidate bid for the Republican nomination for governor.

In federal court filings from the 1980s related to bankruptcy proceedings against him, Martin called one federal judge a "crooked, slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race." He also expressed sympathy to the perpetrators of the Holocaust.

In 1999 when Martin ran for president, he aired a TV ad in New Hampshire that said GOP contender George W. Bush "had a cocaine problem" and suffered from "alcohol abuse."

Martin gained some attention during last year's presidential contest by contending President Barack Obama was a Muslim and contesting whether Obama was born in Hawaii.

During the campaign, Martin was featured on a Fox News broadcast about Obama in which Martin contended that Obama's work as a community organizer was "training for a radical overthrow of the government." The Washington Post reported that a Fox News official later called Martin's appearance a "mistake" and said the guest had not been vetted properly.

This year, Mark Kirk divorced his wife of eight years, Kimberly, but she stood by him and fully endorsed his run for the Senate when he announced his candidacy in July.

Openly gay Democratic primary candidate, Jacob Meister, hammered home the severity of anti-gay attacks like this in his public statement, earlier this afternoon in Chicago.

Whether you're a candidate for the United States Senate, a soldier in the U.S. military or an average American fighting for domestic partnership benefits, equal tax treatment, Social Security benefits or the simple right to visit a loved one in the hospital - the fact remains that American society is still one that legally discriminates against its citizens for any reason. Thomas Jefferson stated clearly that the constitution was created 'so we may form a more perfect union,' and our work will never be finished, our ideals never upheld and our responsibility as the global leader of free societies never fulfilled if we continue to allow the legal discrimination of any one of our citizens.

I got into this race to talk about creating jobs, rebuilding our economy and protecting our nation from terrorism. But it is clear that now is the time to break this barrier once and for all, and to win cleanly, the social and legal equality all gay Americans deserve. This kind of McCarthy era witch hunt has no place in American society. This is a perennial attack that cowardly politicians use every election cycle.

The wake of this incident could have far reaching effects for the campaign--especially if underdog Jacob Meister pulls out a primary win, and faces Mark Kirk in the state-wide contest.
