fracas


Voting to save the world.

I don’t usually spout opinions about American politics. Not that I don’t have opinions… I just don’t usually share them all that much. It occurred to me today though, that I should speak up, because your vote to keep Hillary out of the Whitehouse is actually a vote that will likely and literally, save the world.

It’s really quite simple.

Those of you who would like to vote for her because you’d like to see a woman finally become President… or because for some other godforsaken reason, you see her as a legitimate choice, please think about this.

Do you really think it’s a good idea for Bill to be able to roam the Whitehouse freely, have access to all those interns, and no real job to occupy at least some of his time? Have you considered the cigar bill alone? You may find your taxes raised to cover it. And… while that might be a thought provoking question for sure, the more serious consideration… the part where your vote can literally save the world… is this.

The drycleaning process is harmful to the environment.

“Some studies have indicated that perchloroethylene can cause menstrual irregularities, fertility problems, and spontaneous abortions among women who work in the dry cleaning industry. Perchloroethylene residue from dry cleaning processes can also seep into drinking water, causing a variety of problems. For example, many scientists believe perchloroethylene exposure can cause liver or kidney damage. In addition, perchloroethylene has been named a “probable carcinogen” by the International Association for Research on Cancer.”

Have you considered the damage that will be done to the earth, should Bill have the freedom and opportunity to create four years worth of blue dresses in need of a cleaning? Think of the wildlife, the elderly and the newborn babies that could be born with health problems due to a polluted earth.

Seriously… I beg you. Think of the earth, and the future generations, and if you’re still going to vote for Hillary should she become the Democratic Presidential candidate, please remember that fracas is going to expect you to sign up for a regular shift to look after Bill for her. This is one job though, where teenage girls need not apply. I will be discriminating.

It’s the least you can do.

The sign up sheet will be available here at the fraccy blog, should things go her way. In the meanwhile, enjoy the following links:

Freud just needed some hot shoes.

While over at the Similar Minds site, I noticed under the personality tests category, the Freudian inventory Test, consisting of 36 questions that would let you know how you scored in the five categories. From the test, we learn:

“Freuds theorized that there are 5 stages of psychological development. At the oral stage the main issue is dependency, at the anal stage the main issue is self control, at the phallic stage the main issue is sexual identity, at the latency stage it’s skill development, and at the genital stage its creativity and productivity.”

It all sounds so intellectual and knowing. I was happily reading along to my results until I arrived at this portion explaining the genital stage.

“The genital stage is the final Freudian developmental stage and according to Freud people don’t all succeed at this. Freud believed the ideal for human happiness is to be happy in love and work, problems in one or the other cause unhappiness.”

Holy frac. So… the ideal for human happines is to be happy in love and work?

And problems in one or the other will cause unhappiness?

Earth shattering news for sure.

I can’t believe we’ve all been wandering around in this fog of not understanding that having problems in our work life or our private life will (drumroll please) lead to our being (gasp) unhappy.

Frac.

What of this one?

“An orally fixated person is either irrationally dependent (expects what they want to just appear) or irrationally independent (always refuses help).”

Isn’t that like labeling something either all black or all white… and still getting to be right?

And that’s where I realized that I, Fracas, need look no further than my own bathroom mirror, when seeking someone intellectual and able to help me figure out who I am, what is right with me and what is wrong with me, and what I need to do to be a human of happiness.

So you won’t see the Freudian Inventory Test results posted here in the blog. You’ll have to guess how Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latent or Genital I am (I might even give you a prize for attempting it.) because I’ve just decided that I, Fracas, am the new Freud.

I can not only tell you that you’re either dependent or independent, but I can do it in a really hot pair of shoes.  Freud could never top that… and I have this feeling, that you’d rather listen to me anyway, so ummm… my couch is available.

Fracas. Ball buster and world saver extraordinaire.

I took the “What Classic Movie Are You” test, and got two very different results. It seems the nine question fracas is a ball busting Godfather to be feared. 

Not that I want people thinking I resemble Marlon Brando, but I kind of didn’t mind the idea that there I’d be… seated in a dark room, dispensing wisdom while invoking a little fear all at the same time.

So I decided to take the test again, only chose the eighteen question option to see how much better of a picture I could get of who, based on classic movies of course, the real fracas really is.

It turned out slightly different.

Some might say the test bombed, but I suppose those that know me well would say the test is terribly accurate as opposed to not. These results absolutely do describe me perfectly.

Either I’m busting someone’s balls, or saving the world.

That’s me.

And probably why the blog is called fracas.

Go see what classic movie you are, and don’t forget to come back and tell me.
