Global Warming

There's no denying that the earth is getting warmer.  What is causing it is irrelevant.  Whether or not the actions we take to mitigate it are irrelevant.  It's happening weather human activity is the cause of it or not. 

Here's a pop quiz for you all:  What grows where it is warm and moist? 

Answer:  BACTERIA

Here's what should bum you all out even more:  Our running to the doctor every time we had green snot and getting antibiotics has made bacteria resistant due to our overuse of antibiotics. 

Here's another pop quiz for you all:  What proliferates in warm, standing pools of water along with bacteria?

Answer:  Mosquitoes and other blood sucking insects .

Yes, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, etc., are all to happy to share the viruses and bacteria with not only us, but with any animal that has blood they can suck - and that includes lawyers. 

I think of global warming like the Night Walkers in Game of Thrones.  We all know it's coming yet we continue to bicker and jockey among ourselves trying to gain personal power and accumulate bright, shiny objects.  The Night Walkers (global warming) continues its slow, steady march to find us.  There's no stopping it.  It's getting to the point where there will be no sides to take.  It won't matter who sits on the throne if we are all dead. 

Game of Thrones: Season Finale

I don't know where my son gets these funnies ripping on Game of Thrones, but I certainly laugh when he sends them to me.  After Sunday night's season finale I'm wondering if at this point everybody in the entire 7 kingdoms should just do the Jim Jones thing and commit group suicide as everybody seems to die anyway.  Drinking poisoned punch seems kind in comparison to a messy, bloody, violent death. 

Winter is Coming: Jon Snow - Game of Thrones

Quiet Rage does have a snarky sense of humor.  My stupid blog may be a general vent for daily irritations that amount to nothing.  I find it's waaaaaaaaay cheaper than therapy and nobody is forcing you to read this.  You're here on your own free will.  Besides, in reality I'm actually quite pleasant as I've had the chance to dump angry negativity here for your reading entertainment.  Ohhhhhhhmmmmmm.
All better.

I am a Game of Thrones junkie.  I found the below skit so hilarious I just had to share.

Game of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen - Mother of Dragons

Yes, I'm a Game of Thrones junkie.  I think why our society is so obsessed with it is because how strikingly TRUE and ALIVE this kind of stuff is in our culture -- nobody wants to talk about it, but there it is in all its un repressed glory. 

Which brings me to similarities from the Game of Thrones plot to my own life.  There are too many to elaborate on but a fun one is that I, just like Daenerys Targaryen - Mother of Dragons, have my very OWN dragons I am hatching and raising. 

I know, I know... it's a giant stretch but I have been protecting my little hatch-lings since eggs were discovered in a bird house on my property.  I keep predators away, cats, or anything else that would disturb them.  It's a fun distraction to witness them grow.
