I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!
If you've ever seen the movie Network, you might appreciate this.I don't have to tell you things are bad.
Everybody knows things are bad.
When people have to spend the 4th of July working instead of relaxing you know things are bad. They have shorter hours, but they are still missing out on the 4th of July.
I find myself spending my day off watching the Food network and seeing all the grilling specials. Marinated ribs, juicy steaks, plump chicken, grilled salmon, chips, salsa, beer...
While I dream about these things you're sitting there in front of your computer saying to yourself:, "Please Mr. Angry he's not getting BBQ tomorrow, let me enjoy my day at the park/beach playing, frisbee, flying a kite, throwing water balloons and cooking BBQ and I won't bother you."
Well I'm not going to leave you alone.
It doesn't work like that.
I want YOU to get mad.
I want YOU to get mad for me.
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
I don't even know if it's okay for you to drop off some BBQ ribs at my workplace tomorrow.
All I know is first you've got to get mad.
You've got to get ANGRY.
You've got to say, "I'm a human being. God Dammit, my life has value."
So I want YOU to get up now.
I want all of YOU to step away from your computer monitors.
I want YOU to get up right now, open your window, stick your head out and yell, "I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
I want YOU to get up right now. Get up. Go to your window, open it up, stick your head out and yell, "I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
Things have got to change my friends.
You've got to get mad.
You've got to say, "I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
Than we'll figure out what to do about people having to work on the 4th of July.
About people not being able to enjoy fresh BBQ in beautiful weather with friends and family.
About not being able to spend the day at the Del Mar Fair gorging on funnel cake and kettle corn and ending the night with a spectacular fireworks show.
But first, get up out of your chairs, open your windows, stick your head out and yell, "I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
At least for people like myself that only get leftover, microwaved, BBQ tomorrow night.
-------------------------
A special thank YOU for anyone that actually got out of there chairs to yell or plan to tomorrow for me.
YOU are truly a work of art.
