Lake and Trash
I went to Centennial Lake yesterday, a very pretty lake not too far from where I live.
Another sunny day here in Alaska!
Once I was there I noticed all the trash that people had left behind. If there is one thing that is annoys me, it is littering.
A lot of Americans seem very patriotic to me. Many Americans think that the US is the best country on earth but at the same time, the patriotic side seems to end at that - loud words.
If you think that America is so beautiful, as a well known American patriotic song says........then maybe it should be in your best interest to keep America beautiful and stop leaving your nasty trash in nature where it doesn't belong? To leave trash out, symbolizes to me a very rude and disrespectful person, consumed by their own huge ego and total disregard for others - funny, because a lot of non Americans actually view Americans just like so. It's also kind of ironic in some ways that I, born in another country do not have any problem picking up other people's (Americans) trash by free will, not some court ordered community service BS. I'd rather spend 30 minutes picking up empty and broken beer bottles than know that an innocent animal might get hurt or trapped.
I found lots of empty beer bottles and cans, mainly Budweiser and Coors. Cigarette packs, Marlboro seems popular. Cigarette butts, I really don't care that a lot of people think it's OK to just throw them outside - NO, it is not - they are TOXIC and yucky, OK? A totally disgusting period pad, fucking gross! And yes, I picked that up too. Some flip flops, one shoe, a shirt, plastic bags, fishing line - you name it. People are disgusting - really.
On top of that, some chick went out in the lake, next to me, with a bottle of shaving cream and a razor and started shaving her armpits. I asked her if she was going to shave her legs too.
She said she was done. Really? You shave your armpits in the lake now? I'm just going to shave my VAGINE next time I visit a lake, lather it up nice and good with some shaving cream first. Maybe change my tampon too and leave the old one out. Why not? It's America the beautiful people, home of the free! Where you can do what you want because you are FREE!
The problem is that nobody says anything, because people are scared of confrontation.
Well, I am not. If I see some dumbass littering I say something.
If they have a problem with that - oh well. Bring it on bitch!
Seriously, if I have readers that think it is OK to just throw garbage in nature - guess what?
You are DISGUSTING! Clean up your filth, nobody wants to see it or walk through it. If you want to live like that, then trash YOUR house.
It's the same at work, when idiots come in and throw their feet up on the stage when I am up.
I don't want to see that shit. You can maybe do that to your "lady" at home, if you are lucky enough to have one. But I am not going on stage when some fat fuck or skinny, for that matter, has his feet up on my stage. If you don't like it, you can leave. I don't need your dollar bill anyways.
And perhaps there have been a few trashy non Americans around Centennial Lake too, to be fair. But I think I can safely say that majority of the people that go there are Americans. I learned early on not to trash nature, that should be crystal clear to everyone regardless of nationality. Obviously not for many people, how sad.
I would never date a guy if he acted nasty like that.
There is A LOT more trash around Centennial Lake than what I gathered in these two bags and the beer box. In case you want to go and volunteer your time too.
