Racist Rants (links at the end)

This is wrong on SO many levels and not just the two girls who started it all.
      First to the girls video: If they wanted to make their points they went about it all wrong... this not a mature nor intelligent way to speak about the issues you have with your community. It is an issue you have with a group of people in your community not all people of poverty act like you describe. I do like that you are willing to speak about issues that concern you but I hope that you find more appropriate was of debating your position. Also it may annoy you that the people you are talking about use the system, irresponsibly spend or even the way they talk but I promise you that there are things you do that annoy others too(i.e making a rant video and actually posting it) In the future before you post ANYTHING you should have a responsible adult watch or read it and say it is ok.
       Second to the commenters: I can not believe that you people are freaking out on 14 y/o girls, how are you and different then them. I wonder where they learned to react negatively??? People like you. Seriously who tells a child to go kill themselves!? That is just wrong, you are an adult act like it! Cyber bullying is a serious issue and you my friend are a cyber bully. They are wrong, no one is debating that but adults should be educating these girls and teaching them a positive way of using their voice. I understand why everyone is freaking out that they use the N word but NO ONE is freaking out on the jackasses attacking the spanish race? Is it only racist if it is towards the black race? No! There is no such thing as reverse racism...Racism applies to ANY race being attacked by ANY race.
      To the people posting RE to: The real problem here is that people are still separating us by race, it is not just applications and surveys. It is the people of this country from every race doing it. One video in particular stood out to me. She was clearly angry and I get that but she is just as racist as the girls in the video except she is an adult. She refers to "white" people as "clear" people. She calls them "becky sue or billy ray or whatever your name is". Says she isn't gonna upload a video ranting about "clear people", yet that is exactly what she is doing. Her claims are that "clear people" eat off the floor, eat boogers and share straws with strangers. That is all ridiculous and far from accurate. The 14 y/o girls girls were at least presenting real issues in American society. It makes me sad that there are people who really feel like I could never understand them because of something so stupid as skin color,  You are a human and so em I.

In short when I am asked to mark my race I select the "other" box and write in American. I do this because I am not White, Black, Asian or Mexican, I am American and so are all of you that were born in this country or came here legally to make a life for yourself. When someone asks me what nationality I am, my reply is American. If everyone stopped putting THEMSELVES and others into categories and instead put us all into one... AMERICAN then this country would not have racism anymore....So I purpose that we all from now on check the "other" box and write in American. I say we do away with races entirely and just be united.

2012

          Wow this year has been crazy. It started off with a bang. When you watch somebody you love make the biggest mistake of their life(for a second time) and drag two babies down with em'... it sucks. When you trust and support someone through thick and thin only to have them stab you in the back, smack you in the face and then run away laughing... it blows. When you lose people to PURE EVIL... it bites. At first you are angry, then in denial and then you get over all of that and start reflecting. That is where a sucky situation becomes a priceless learning experience. That is when you have to examine your options and pick one. I am currently in that phase...

I want to say that just because you have kids does not mean that you deserve them.

So Long Its Been

I have had so much and so little going on. Frank has had two more leg surgeries, the fourth was today. He is in recovery as I type. It makes me so angry for so many reasons. The heartlessness of people who want to make a buck so badly that they breed dirty. Even when they see the pain it causes they feel no remorse. I dont know why i was surprised that they dont hold up their guarantees, if their word was any good we wouldnt be in this situation to begin with.

My Summer at the Movies...

This the summer of 2010 I have found myself at the movies on a pretty regular basis. Cost aside I LOVE going to the movies. So far I have seen...The A Team, Toy Story 3, The Prince of Persia, Eclipse and Despicable Me. As I will undoubtably be dragged to Cats and Dogs 2, Machete, Alpha n Omega as well as Easy A before summers end, I have decided to go all Siskel on you and review the films. The ratings will go as follows. 2 THUMBS UP, 1THUMB UP, 1 THUMB DOWN, 2 THUMBS DOWN.

The A-Team- 

This is a movie based on the popular TV show of the same name. I myself was not a huge follower of the show for one reason. Mr. T. There was something about the combination of his jewelry and high water overalls that had me thinking “I Pity the Fool.” Yogi however didn’t miss an episode. When he saw the trailer he said. “Hmph this won’t be good, they will ruin it. We have to go see it.” I was not super stoked about the idea as I am not a part of the “OMG IT’S BRADLEY COOPER!” movement. That being said we went, we watched, we were amazed. They did a really good job on this film. I didnt attach much to Jessica Biels character but the new B.A. Was way way better then the OG. Yogi’s only complaint was that Hannibal was not quite right, too serious and not a mention of his elaborate disguises. Seeing This film has sparked a month full of nights netflixing old A Team Episodes. I give this film TWO THUMBS UP!

Toy Story 3-

When I was young and making my c.d. and bubblegum money from babysitting I often watched an adorable toddler named Samantha. Sammy loved to watch Toy Story... Over and Over and Over and Over again. “Can you rewind it?” she would ask and I would say, “How bout something else for a change?” She would think hard on the issue and then say “Ok how about teletubbies”, to which I would reply “Toy Story it is!” Years into the future My little brova is a Toy Story Maniac! Toy Story 1, Toy Story 2 he loves um. The kid even has Woody and Buzz, which he wrote in big black letters on the bottom of their feet..ALEX. I will say I have a place in my heart for Toy Story. I was ill prepared for Toy Story 3. I did not bring tissues and yes, we all cried. For the record, Yogi denies an involvement in said water works. TWO THUMBS UP!

Prince of Persia-

Nizzle Nazzle wanted to see this movie sooo bad that she came to me with her penny bank asking if the 3 cents within was enough for the tickets. “Sadly,” I told her “no it was not going to cut it. Alas, My dear, the cinema has hit $10 a ticket!” (:0!!! Cue the Cries and Outrage) She came back just moments later with $20 bucks in hand and a victorious smile across her face. No one and I mean no one wanting to go with us. Which suited us fine, sister time is always welcomed. Everyone missed out! This movie was fun, romantic, action packed, had some good twists and dared to end in a fashion befitting of the story line, which you don’t often find these days. TWO THUMBS UP!

Eclipse-

Another movie that My Darling Sister HAD to see. I am a reader of the series and think they would have made amazing movies had summit not sunk their teeth into it. Oh WB why oh why did you not swoop up the rights!? This review will encompass my feelings on each of the films. I have seen Twilight and was disgusted at how terrible it was, The cast is atrocious, The blue tint is insulting to the NW and the story is almost nothing like the book. When they threw Hardwicke out on her ass I decided to give New Moon a chance, It was better then the first but not by much. The cast seems to get less and less acting abilities in each film.The way they have almost completely eliminated key characters leaves the movies with no substance. It is basically the boy named kristin squaking, then cut to sharkboy’s chest, then cut to rob’s chest(eww) then back to sharkboy. Film one they never even said I Love You and I don’t remember them saying it much in the other two either! The real problem is the cast there is only three people in any of the films that are good. Charlie Swan aka Billy Burke is amazing and fits the part to a T. Gill Birmingham plays Billy Black and does a fabulous job. Also Rachelle Lafevre who was Victoria in the first two films did a great job which surprised me, but they canned her and hired a very awkward and unscary girl named Bryce.... Alice and Emmett would be good if they gave them a part! If you are 8-13 years of age this movie is great for you. SIX THUMBS DOWN (two for each crackpot movie so far.)

Despicable Me-

This is a good, funny and appropriate movie for all ages. Not the greatest cartoon ever but certainly one I would watch again. ONE and a 1/2 THUMBS UP!
