OHIO MOM IN JAIL FOR SENDING HER DAUGHTERS TO..........A BETTER SCHOOL!

This is absolute and complete malarkey! First why does anybody have the right to tell you where you can send your children to school? It makes sense for a parent to care about the well being of their child and have them go to a place where they can get a good education, so why punish a woman for doing just that? There are many districts right here in my hometown of Baltimore that can only be described as cream of the CRAP overcrowded, underfunded, and full of teachers who just don't giving a flying fart in space about the students...and just a few short blocks away are schools with plenty of empty seats, awesome teachers, and plenty of money to use for books, activities, and maybe even some left over to paste onto the walls for decoration. There needs to be a way for children who live in poor neighborhoods to get good educations so they won't remain in poor neighborhoods. The reason for putting this Ohio woman in jail was because she wasn't getting taxed the right amount for the school? was her father being taxed enough because that's the address she used. Sure she may not have lived there but who doesn't know at least one person who's done this to right a wrong the justice system continues to ignore? What kind of school hires private investigators to follow a parent because they suspect she doesn't live in the district? They clearly have money to throw around so they need to stop with the games and own up to just being prejudiced, a classic case of NOCD. and secondly....she going to lose her job and her ability to become a teacher because she sent her daughters to a good school? WTH....does this honestly make sense to anyone? There are ways to tell people discreetly not to do certain things but putting a woman in jail and jeopardizing her career because she now has this so called felony on her record is absurd and disgusting. I hope the people who make these decisions in any state pray long and hard about how they ruin lives and break families apart because they want to segregate the poor from everyone else.

SNOW?

There have been a lot of issues with the weather lately. Snow in southern states that rarely see it, enormous amounts of rain falling in states that are usually all sun and smiles, and summers hotter than the devil's urine... in separate and unexplained events 200 cows in Wisconsin, thousands of fish and birds in Arkansas and 40000 crabs on the beaches of England all showed up and continue to show up dead leaving scientists baffled and people frightened. A sign of the times they say, the end is near others say, well you know what I say?...STOP POLLUTING THE EARTH. We humans think everything is about us, we own so much property and we have rationale so that makes us superior right?...Of course not. The land that was passed down from generation to generation by our forefathers did not belong to them is was loaned to them so they would have a place to lay their heads, grow crops, and raise their young. Most animals survive because they have learned the balance of nature and that in the balance of life sometimes the hunter is also the hunted. They know that all one needs to survive is food, water, a warm place to sleep in the cold months and a cool place to sleep in the hot months, they kill only what they need to survive and what they do not need anymore can be used by other creatures either for feeding or building purposes. Humans unfortunately have become so sophisticated that they can't survive a couple weeks without a cell phone or a computer screen. We have grown so large that we don't even stop to think about how our actions are depleting our resources and killing the diverse population of non-human inhabitants of this planet. While it is in fact normal to have a cycle of life and death our inferior mindset paired with our superior brains has caused great irreparable and immeasurable loss. We can't bring a creature back from extinction, we can't close the hole in the ozone, we can't purify the world's water supply with a couple white tablets and some miracle spray....we need to start thinking before we act to prevent having to use science to fix what God created. Man did not create this earth but he is steadily destroying it and I hope for all of our sakes even if you don't care about the other inhabitants to think about yourself the next time you throw garbage on the ground, because it may bring us one step closer to what the old folk in the New York Subway stations call THE END.

WELCOME NEW FOLLOWERS! Ted Williams too much too fast?

Welcome to all my new followers, I am very excited to be starting a new year with you all. I hope that you will take this opportunity to read some of my old material make comments and let me know what you want to see in the future. Hope You enjoy this latest piece on Ted Williams...


It is a great day when this country can acknowledge the hidden talents of those who may otherwise be ignored but it's a mixed bag when the acknowledgement turns into abuse. Most common folk can't deal with all the pressures that normal life brings...and if their lives are less than normal because of their circumstances then it makes it that much harder to adapt to added pressure.


Taking Ted Williams off the street and allowing him to live his deferred dream is awesome...allowing him to do it at the scrutiny of millions....not so awesome. Drugs and alcohol have plagued this mans life and turned him away from the dream he had so long ago and it is a good thing that he has now been put into rehab but why did it take so long?


We've been hearing about this man for weeks...we've watched him on cnn...heard his voice and watched his hilarious facial expressions...he has been iinterviewed by Dr. Phil, he's all over youtube, and people everywhere now not only know about his addiction issues they now also know about his familial problems. Does it make sense to instigate fights on televised programs for ratings? to tell the world about his internal conflicts? or exploit a man who until recently has had no real job or connections and thus no idea how to handle all this new found fame?


I don't think so...I believe that it is sad and disgusting that our country thrives off of other people's problems. We find the vulnerable people the ones with eight children and no money, the ones with big boobs and low self esteem, the homeless men on the corner asking for a dollar who turn out to have a Golden Voice that we can use to make money ourselves. It is definitely too fast for this guy to be getting so much attention but hopefully he gets something out of rehab and can come out with jobs lined up and a place to live. Maybe he won't be reiintroduced to drugs to create an anna nicole/lindsay lohan type story that plagues the headlines but we can only wait and see as his story unfolds because we all know just as easily as he was plunged into stardom he, like the octomom and jon of jon and kate, will be old news and once again a dollar short.

Tuscon Accident Gabrielle Giffords shot and ...the Beckham's are expecting a fourth child?

When I was younger I had to sit through an hour of news because the adults in my life always wanted to hear what was going on. It was so important sometimes that I even had to leave the room. As I've gotten older I have realized that the news is only good for one thing...whether or not I should put an umbrella in my purse (nowadays   I carry one anyway because even that part of the news is losing its validity). The few times I actually sit through the news I am often slapped in the face time and time again by stupidity at it's finest. alongside the top story of the hour on CNN you can often find signs of the times like this one that offended me yesterday Gabrielle Giffords Shot but expected to make recovery (YAY) while the ticker tape at the bottom of the screen flashes (this must be really important!) THE BECKHAM'S ARE EXPECTING THEIR FOURTH CHILD (WTH!!) While I understand the need to feed the immature with constant updates of celebrity play by plays there is a time and place for everything. How can I take anything you say seriously if after speaking wisdom and truth, garbage flows over the levees in your frontal lobe and exits through your lips? It is certainly not appropriate to have celebrity "news" alongside the things that actually matter...democracy is dying while we sit in the waiting rooms of life with defibrillators but no idea how to use them!!! I just finished reading an old book entitled "110 People who are Screwing up America" by Bernard Goldberg (if you haven't read it read it) and he said everything I've been saying myself for years...the world and Americans in particular are getting so stupid and so thirsty for freedom and liberalism that we are accepting everything including garbage and allowing it to infiltrate our homes, our schools, and our government and turn us into a group of rambunctious fat trigger happy nincompoops. We bred the 22 year old idiot who decided to shoot Gabby Gifford's we allowed him to post his demented videos on youtube and write his stupid comments on myspace all in the name of free speech all the while allowing him to destroy the lives of others also practicing free speech. Not only were adults attacked a nine year old girl was killed! and we are giving this loser the chance to go to trial? he needs to be behind bars for life on an island with huge rats and monster roaches...I can't stand idots...I mean it's not that hard to say how you feel, write a letter, ask some questions, but when you feel you have the right to take someone else's life then that's where something has gone awry. The news is only the beginning of the problem but that's certainly a topic for another discussion but until then  make wise decisions and make a conscious decision to return to civilization :)

****SPOILER ALERT*** BLACK SWAN

OH MY GOSH WHAT ON EARTH WAS I THINKING!!! My best friend and I decided to go out last night for the first time since the summer and enjoy a nice movie about a lovely ballerina I mean what else could it have been about based on the beautiful commercials I'd seen just a few weeks prior. I thought it'd be nice to sit down and relax at the theater...have some laughs...eat my smuggled in hamentashen in peace. I'm glad I ate it early because if I'd waited my appetite would have been gone.  To me Black Swan was an amateur horror/porno flick...Every time Natalie Portman (Nina) is on screen if we're not caught up in one of her scary delusions of blood and death everywhere we're caught up in her arrested development issues. First off why is she still living with her mother in her childhood room surrounded by all this stuff five year olds would love but any normal girl after reaching puberty would stash away in her deepest closet. The poor toys in her bedroom witness her bad habit of scratching her self and breaking skin to bring more blood to the picture and the disgusting scenes of serious "self lovin". All fingers and screams of arousal aside this girl then goes on to have a relationship with her ballet instructor...after she told him off in the beginning of the movie and bit his lip to stop him from kissing her I was rooting for her all the way, she even told Beth the "older" ballerina she's replacing that she doesn't have to be a whore to get ahead.....SIKE...she basically transforms from good girl to whore within the next ten to twenty minutes of the movie...allowing this (while attractive) still pretty old dude to put his hands all over her private squares! MY GAWD!She then proceeds to get harrassed by a 80 year old guy on the subway and pretends she was disgusted...she didn't fool me one bit! Then all her strange lesbian encounters....dreams?.....encounters?... I have no idea what really happened what was imagined what was real. and mommy dearest is just as evil as they come buying a cake she knows her bulimic daughter will regurgitate up at the next available toilet bowl and continuing the not so normal after age 6 dressing and undressing of her daughter and playing Sherlock Holmes with her body inspecting her for self inflicted scratches.  and sweet samurai warrior here comes another crazy moment when she has the fight in the dressing rooms leaving behind a puddle of blood and broken glass...we all just knew she finally killed of her nemesis Lilly with a shard of glass. a simple knock on the door blew our minds when Lilly came to Nina's dressing room to tell her she did an awesome job in the last act...wait isn't she dead??? No of course she isn't....this idiot had a fight with herself and stabbed a long piece of mirror glass into her own abdomen and she dies! but not before she gives a rockin performance and lands on her deathbed/mattress and whispers her last words....Perfect...yeah she finally reached perfection...lucky for us the screen then blanks out and it's time for the credits...leaving the audience slightly jumpy and equally as disgusted...thanx alot Black Swan...thanx alot.

Princess Boy...

I may be a little late but certainly this is still relevant. While scrolling around on the internet I stumbled upon princess boy and had two reactions:
1. HE IS SO ADORABLE
2. I can't believe these people are seriously having conversations about whether or not he'll grow up to be gay, does he have mental issues, and whether he has self esteem issues (IN FRONT OF HIM)


Young children tend to be very exploratory, Freud talks about the stages of psychosexuality and anyone who has ever baby sat or raised a child who has the ability to move without assistance knows that children get in to all types of things due to their curiosity. Children (unless someone tells them) have no idea what sexual orientation is, they don't know anything about gender roles, and most young children have no idea why people get so upset if they walk into the middle of the living room naked. This little boy is sitting through his entire interview with his red dress on flipping through this book his mother wrote to (stop bullying?) but really I think she'll do more harm than good. One commenter on the website for newsday said it right...a two year old doesn't know if he's a boy, a girl, a fruit, or a rock why would you ever think their choice of clothing means something about their sexuality? It is quite alright for people to have discussions about acceptance, love, and understanding but when it comes to a two year old boy being attracted to girl's clothing and a mom purchasing from that day forward dresses for him to wear and encouraging it at age five where he will then go on to school and be confused just leads to a lotta drama. Does this lady just love her baby alot or is she just crazy? you be the judge....

He clearly has no idea what all the fuss is about but when he gets a little older he'll know for sure. What will his wife say? his children? the guys at the country club? his soccer team? Let's stop jumping to conclusions about children who are too young to know the difference between middle and index fingers and start letting children be children...

A RIGHT TO FEEL? THE HANDS IN PANTS EPIDEMIC

I am usually pretty ok about people using all of their senses to explore the world around them. It's pretty awesome to live here on Earth and it's even awesomer when you've got an imagination. I wake up in the morning and open my eyes to survey my surroundings (sight), I kneel down and pray next to my bed (speech), I hear the incessant chirping of the birds that warn of dawn (hearing), I pick up my toothbrush (touching), and after I put toothpaste on it I begin to vigorously brush thus tasting the blood sweat and tears of countless colgate/crest/aquafresh employees (taste)... once I step outside of my doors in the morning I realize that I am no longer the only person alive, I am not the only one with eyes, and thus I am not the only one able to form an opinion about any given thing at any given time.


 The thing the bothers me about people who walk around with their hands in their pants (let's call them pantsers) seem to not be aware of anyone else but themselves. Pantsers come in all shapes, sizes, colors and unfortunately both genders (yuck) Pantsers could be related to you, they could be dating you, they could even be sitting next to you on the bus right now. Pansters could be your teachers who hand back classwork, your maids who clean your homes and worst of all they could even be the chefs in your favorite restaurants adding a little zing to your favorite meals...you know those flavors you can't quite place???....ehhh. BUT oh what joy it must be to have hands that caress you all throughout the day even in the most intimate places....NOT... what disgust I feel at looking at someone not just getting a cheap feel but getting a cheap feel from THEMSELVES!!! What kind of cave were these people born in, what kind of rock did they crawl from under, what kind of THOUGHTLESS RUFFIANS ARE THEY!....


Excuse me... we do have certain inalienable rights, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"...heck we can even lawfully obtain and use a gun if we wants to...but no where in the constitution does it say I can walk around all day with my hands in my pants burning the eyes of every sensible person that walks this great land from the mountains to the prairies cross the ocean white with foam! please please please have decency and keep your hands out of your pants we are after all supposed to be civilized. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A new year is upon us and I for one am very excited about all the great things in store for all of us!
Maybe just maybe we can do some positive things...I'm not one for new year's resolutions or deciding to change your whole life and ways in one fell swoop over night because THAT IS SIMPLY PREPOSTEROUS but I would totally like to see people become more active in their communities, take more time out for their children, be a little less selfish, and a little more proactive. Make strides to be better and enjoy 2011!
