Today I am thankful for leaked photos showing the aftermath of Denver's pit bull ban.
These are useful for raising one's level of anger.
Anger is useful when it comes to scheming, problem-solving and engaging in sorcery.
Yesterday my Code Enforcement Officer, may his God bless his soul (seriously), reminded me that I was wrong to trust the government.
He's the same guy that evicted the veteran next door based upon the complaints of the gun-toting neighbor. The gun-toting neighbor would brandish his pistol when the neighbors parked in front of my house. I asked them to park in front of my house to keep my stalker away.
Mr. Anti-Gun Safety never pointed his pistol at my stalker.
I think the code enforcement guy has empathy he just lacks the ability to connect with people. That ability would probably be hazardous to his occupation.
The issue is probably one of poor management, lack of investigation and/or crazy quotas. I mean the city doesn't pay attention when I tell them about the neighbor and his gun. At least the cops don't care. Neighborhood services tried to mediate but that won't work when the neighbor likes his power.
He's entitled to enjoy power.
That's okay.
I enjoy the sight of his footprint in chili powder and I'll like the sight of the moving vans even more.
When it comes to the tree,
I'm saddened that I thought the problem had been solved only to find out that it has not.
I've got to come up with $2,000 for the tree and $1,500 to repair my old Buick (cracked head gasket).
My credit cards are maxed out due to attorney fees trying to get CO-PEP to listen. I had no idea that they were funded by the Fatherhood Initiative. That explains why the lawyers lied for him. Fatherhood.gov is anti-woman. It's anti-child. It certainly spreads a lot of myths about domestic violence (hint: it's not an anger management problem).
One of these days, perhaps, they'll wake up and see that gutting a guy's child support by lying about his life circumstances will only keep him from his kids. Men in this situation will voluntary stay away. The last thing my ex wants is for me to know he's not a homeless alcoholic.
Too late.....I figured it out. He's lucky the City is making me too poor to hire an attorney.
I still have my green and black candles.
Green candles and basil can help me find the funds.
Black candles and chili powder will make me smile again.
I'm applying for credit cards. I haven't been successful yet. If I can't get the credit, I'll do my best to think positive.
We need to lose weight anyway. There goes my grocery money for the next three to four months.
I'll make it work.
If only the city had been more forthcoming about it last month, I could have raided my IRA during renewal time. If I do it now, I'll have an additional 10% fee (not counting the 40% tax).
There goes my retirement.
*******
I have let my vexation list grow a tad bit too long.
I haven't done anything to stop
CO-PEP (The sexist Fatherhood Initiative coddling deadbeat dads at the expense of single mothers),
the murderous pitbull ban,
the harassment of the homeless,
and the racial discrimination on the part of the peace department.
I should probably hot foot the nutball next door who screams at us when we whack the weeds in the backyard by the fence. He also yells at my exterminator.
There is someone else who needs the DUME treatment.
I need to walk my talk so to speak.
On the bright side, there are a lot of supplies in my house. I found them while cleaning.
The energy is lacking.
I need to raise my energy.
I'm going to share the photos that I use when I'm pissed off and need to give a passionate speech or curse someone. These were leaked photos of the dogs killed in 2016 due to the pit bull ban.
Here are a few of them:
Each one of these dogs was loved.
Each dog represents a family that doesn't trust the government any more.
This puppy seemed so full of life until an asshat touched it.
Why are men so cruel?
I read that more than 3,4000 pit bulls were killed by Denver between 1999-2009.
What makes the lives of men more important than the lives of their best friends?
Laugh if you want - revel in your delusion that you're superior to this species - then watch Independence Day or Terminator.
It would seem that the collective unconscious understands that humans are going to find or create a race of beings intellectually superior to them.
If they are anything like us, we can kiss our sorry asses goodbye.
We're lucky that the dolphins haven't tried to kill us yet (just teasing....maybe).
*****
I don't know if I should beg Artemis to forgive these political asshats who push to kill dogs.
Artemis is one of our household Gods so I don't think I'll beg for the forgiveness of idiots who refuse to listen to reason. They're wrong. They make excuses. As long as they refuse to see the error of their ways I'm not sure it's wise to beg their forgiveness.
I can beg that they see the light.
It's incredibly hard for me to imagine that the Jesus of Christianity is okay with men murdering the pets, family members (or in my religion, familiars) of their brethren. If he's the same Jesus I read about in the New Testament, I don't believe this is okay with him.
Then again, that's why I'm no longer Christian.
I have a lot of issues with Christianity.
I will always think that Romans was a chapter written by government handlers to garner respect for their pitiful behavior.
Maybe I should read a passage or two before I hit the Psalms.
Roman 13 always gets me going. It's the one that says that government authority was put into place by God.
Whose God?
Not mine.
I wonder what the Great Spirit of Native American mythology thought about the corrupt US government murdering the native peoples.
That government wasn't chosen by The Great Spirit.
Jeff Sessions recently invoked Romans 13 to justify Trump's crap. I hate Hillary. I dislike Trump. Sessions should get it through his thick skull that most United States citizens are not Bible thumpers. Uninformed comments like that will probably cost Trump his next campaign.
Idiots do what idiots do.
It's sad when idiots are not teachable.
Or when one has to expend an incredible amount of energy teaching idiots lessons on human decency.
*****
Witches do what witches do.
Let me get in my mood and then I'll do what I do.
Witchcraft is the challenge I wanted to overcome in this life. It won't happen. I will not learn how to defeat bullies without raising energy in this lifetime.
My seventeen-year-old self would be so damn disappointed in me! I refused to curse my rapist. I found my resolve to leave bullies alone weakening by the time I was 29.
The bullies started to piss me off. Sadly, my stalker used a Denver cop to harass me. He was eventually fired because he harassed a lot of people.
I had to turn to herbal spells to be rid of Sgt. Cook.
I didn't expect Shannon or her dad to die the days I lit the black candles.
*****
I need to put the anger to good use.
I thank the local government for reminding me of who I am.
My demons have been lonely.
I'll wake them up with the gift of fire.
Cue the cackling,
Some Spiteful Witch,
S.
