To Yoshi
Today I am feeling some kind of way. I'm not really sure which way exactly. Just aware that its a feeling and that its indescribable. I feel joy because were in such a good place after a long time of not being. I feel sadness because I sometimes feel that all my energies and efforts arent reciprocated. I feel silly for feeling that way. I feel anxious at not knowing whats next and I feel wound down at the lack of control I am experiencing for the first time in my life. I am sad because youre not here and angry that I didn't ask you to stay and powerless because I couldn't. I feel stunted at the inability to express myself fully to you and cold and distant at the sub par effort. I feel jaded that you havent tried as hard and even more jaded because you probably don't know how. I feel safe when I'm near you and confined because I cant tell you so. I feel hesitant at asking what the next step is and excited to find out what that exactly is. I feel thankful that through everything you waited for me, patiently and skeptical as the reasons why you waited, patiently. Then ungrateful for my skepticism. I feel warm then cold, then warm, then cold then numb and nothingness. Then angry because the feelings are tied to you and then calm. I feel everything all at once and nothing all along. I just wanted to put this out there. In case you read this. I feel.

Pimpin aint easy?
Soooooo...The following post may or may not have happened. That is all.
So I recently decided to quit the pimp game. I know, I know..true pimps never quit but let me tell you how it went down. Lets name everyone first shall we?
Guy 1: That One Guy. I've talked about him before. I like him..like, like-like him.
Guy 2: Mr. Laundry List. Dude from high school. We were cough..close..cough friends. Now we're just hanging out. This is the guy who I almost posted about a couple of weeks ago.
Guy 3: Mr. Officer. Now, he's not a real cop and he got his name for other unrelated reasons, it's just funny okay? He's a newbie. I met him at my job he smelled good and had nice waves. Enough said.
Guy 4: Mr. Grinch..he..doesnt really count with his fairweather ass.
So, the only one of these people I have feelings for outside of warm fuzzy friendship feelings is That One Guy and I didnt think of myself as a psuedo-pimp until earlier this week when a series of events took place that sent my entire house of cards cascading down upon my head.
Monday I get a call from Mr. Officer, he wants to hang out this week. Now, the first thing you have to know about pimpin is that all your hoes..I mean..friends need special "me" time. I said sure and we made a tenative date for this afternoon. Later that day Mr. Laundry List calls. He's been tryna catch feelings for a few weeks now. He's not understanding the concept that I dont like him in that way and we had actually stopped talking for a few days because of his crazy behavior. He's upset because he knows about That One Guy and Mr. Officer and he doesnt want me spending time with them. I told him to read the script over and know his role and left it at that. Today Mr. Grinch called. Again, he doesnt count as we rarely see each other and its on some "I dont have anybody to see this movie with do you wanna go" type bullshit. He inexplicably wants to kick it..you guessed it Friday afternoon. I had no problem telling him no. He becomes upset, wonders about how I have so much time for everybody else and I cant even kick it with him once or twice a month. He's clearly confused about his role as well and as a good director I explained it to him again. This afternoon I get a call from Mr. Officer, he wants to hang out this weekend instead of Friday. This isnt good for me because 1. I have to work this weekend and 2. That One Guy would be around in there somewhere and out of all of them, he gets priority booking. I figured that now was as good a time as any to just come clean. He was really upset. Like..really. He thought that we had the makings of a relationship. Oops. I explained myself and the situation and he proceeded to go.the.fuck. off. Normally I would have exploded as well but I realized his anger was justified. After he had calmed down we discussed the situation. And what is the situation you might ask? Well, I like men. I always have. There is something so intriguing about maleness and I like to surround myself with them. It could be on some "daddy never hugged me" type mess but I heart them. Now surrounding myself with them and even entertaining more than one at a time doesnt mean I sleep with all of them. I only sleep with one person at a time, I dont have that nasty womans disease. This is in no offense to any of ya'll who like to double dip, it just aint me. I also need attention, what can I say? I'm the youngest child and the only girl. Without male attention I feel...I dont know, foreign? So because That One Guy lives in a different city I search for said attention elsewhere. Why not? I'm not technically doing anything wrong and I'm not ciphering any attention away from whatever it is that we have. I always make sure I put him first. So yeah. I decided today that this shit is not only confusing it is tiresom. So I offically denounce my pimp hand. It's weak as hell anyway. I'm just gonna revel in the friendships, the real ones not ones I flirted to gain, with males that wont interfere with the rest of my life, whatever that is.
Whew! Felt great to get that out!
Yes We Can..stop pimpin!

Uniquely me
For most of my life I have been a weirdo. Not just a little weirdo...a BIG weirdo! I'm bizarre. I cant help it. Let's discuss this.
just look at that cuteness!
When I was very little we moved down south. My mom had a penchant for moving into neighborhoods with little or no Black people in them. She liked to be a trendsetter. Because of this I developed a love for Golf, Alternative music and Guitars. I was also exposed to the horrors of racism in the dirty South. Fair trade.
just the guys
I was also raised with all boys by a feminist mom. Lots of dungarees in my childhood. Lots. I had alot of male traits as a kid. I hung out with all boys, I got into sports in a big way. It was the only way my brothers would let me hang. I also got really into gaming. I can kick most dudes ass at StreetFighter. I liked Science a predominantly male field. My brothers are 5,6 and 7 years older than me. Add to that the fact that my father and his family were absent for the majority of my formative years, I was pretty much an only child. I learned to be by myself and therefore internalize most of my conversations. I laugh when people call me quiet cuz my brain is loud as hell!
Strangely, the schools I went to in the South were...shall we say...further along than the ones up North. Consequently when I moved up North I found them slightly behind. I was done with school Junior Year. I went another to hang out..and because you weren't allowed to do anything else here in God's Country. I also became somewhat Afrocentric. I love my race and the amazing things about us!
believe it or not, I was smarter than you were at this age
I have dealt with alot of things that people my age couldn't dream of. These things have aged me more mentally than my peers. So...what do ya get when you add all of that together?
ME! A 23 year old pre-med student with a penchant for random facts that don't matter to anyone, music, movies, games and electronics. I also have troubles with my feelings. I hate commitments and would really rather not be tied down. Hence me liking the same guy for 4 years. I'm nowhere as expressive as other chicks my age. I'm emotionally stunted lol. I like clothes no one else will. I pick weird animals. I listen to music my friends have never heard of. I HEART Manga (Naruto Shippuden is my shit!) I love black and white photography (it makes our skin look soooooo good). I love black men with passion and fervour (especially nice smelling ones with waves that make me nauseous) I have a passion for black Greeks. They go through alot for their passion and I will too one day. I love the Lord and I think sex is amazing. Indie Rock is my shit. I like domestic activities and I get WAYYYYY too into History and Literature.
I used to be annoyed with people calling me a weirdo now I embrace it. I've realized it's not so much being a weirdo as being different. And by being different I am being myself. God placed us here to be different. So today I challenge you to get like me and be yourself.
Aint I a cutie?
YES WE CAN (be ourselves)
T shot ya!

Fuck up List
I forgot to post about the heffa at the ATM who broke it this afternoon. I was in a rush cuz I had forgot my insurance payment was due and AAA dont be playin about they money. They will qut yo ass..fa real. I called and told them I was gonna be two days late with a payment and they told me that not only were they going to send my payment through once it bounced they were gonna send it back and THEN cancel my policy! WHAT THE HELL?! Anyway, I rushed out to the ATM and in front of me stood Keisha in all her Friday glee.
Like this but with more Baby Phat swagger. Now boys and girls, what would she be doing to piss me off other than breathing Gods good air? Was it
A. Talking on the phone REALLY LOUD
B. Textin someone, prolly her baby's daddy while arbitrarily pressing buttons on the machine
C. Rummaing through her purse like it didnt belong to her
D. All of the above?
YES! You guessed it ALL OF THE ABOVE! What the peach cream? She was killing me HARDLY! She was so loud I couldnt hear the cries of my soul as I squashed it's plan to bash her head in with a bottle of windshield wiper fluid. Then she hangs up the phone and starts TEXTING?! What.the.fuck? While she's texting she starts randomly tapping buttons and takes out like 200 American dollars..over THREE transactions. WHAT WHAT WHAT?! Why didnt she just do it all at once? Then she starts digging in her Baby Phat purse and counting money like she didnt know how much she needed! Then she wanders away because the machine is broken and then walks back to it looking dazed. I REALLY wanted to kill her. Instead I went inside, before she could gather the brain power to make the same decision, and made my transaction in like 3 minutes! Whoever you were, I hate your dreams and ambitions.
This is for you
Yes We Can (bother the hell out of me)

Silverfish
I for the first portion of my life was pretty much a tom-boy. I was raised with three older brothers and their friends. Not to mention my mom being a life long tom-boy her damn self. Dont believe me peep exhibits A and B:
A.
B.
Look at that HAIR! What the hell was she thinking?! And the platform white kicks with the 99? What you know about that?! LOL! *
I digress...
I played sports and hung out with the boys and even played the instrument least frequented by girls, the french horn, in band. There were just two things I refused to do. 1. Get dirty and 2. Be in the vicinity of bugs. Bugs creep me the HELL out! All of them. Even ants. I hate them. When I was younger I'd RUN, like take off like I was at the blocks, at the sight of bugs. I understand they have a purpose but I'ts not in my life. When we moved to this house there were a crapload of Centipedes here. A crapload! For those of you who dont know what this UNGODLY looking creature is BEHOLD!
I almost threw up finding this picture. Sersly.
The straw that broke the frickin camels back was when one ran past me while I was sitting on the floor! What kind of household do you live in where you cant even sit on the damn floor undisturbed? HUH?! I quickly called Orkin and they've been coming ever since.
like this but cooler
He got rid of all my bugs and we continue to pay him. So why in the hell did I just kill a silverfish kickin it on my platform bed! WHAT THE FUCK?! This is not okay! For those who dont know what these bitches look like BEHOLD..AGAIN!
They're like Centipedes lil cousins so I understand why it could be in the house BUT WHY THE FUCK WAS IT ON MY BED?! They frequent bath tubs and sinks for the water..MY WOODEN BED HAS NO WATER ON IT!
Oh shit. It just occured to me that I leave glasses of water on my night stand overnight. What if it lived in one? Oh God. I have to go throw up.
YES WE CAN (kill bugs)
* I grew out of it! It just took me a decade or so.

A battle of wits with an unarmed person
Text verbatum of an argument I had with a retard; You can tell my parts from his because they are smart!
My response to you can be found at the link below.

Interesting video of Obama supporters interviewed. Very basic questions were asked of them... in which none of them knew the answers.
This video will show you who voted our next President into office.
YAY!

I voted our next president into office and I'd like to think I made an educated vote...if you feel different that's fine but let's not sterotype EVERYONE okay? Super!
From: Kevin Webb
Date: Nov 20, 2008 5:48 PM
Hmmm... first of all, the poll and video wasn't produced by me. It was produced by the leading data center in the U.S. Therefore, I'm not stereotyping anybody, just simply spreading already created information.
Secondly, if you are as educated as you claim to be, then why did you vote for Obama?
Third, check my blog out tonight and you'll read about how the stock market has dropped more in just 15 days after Obama's election then it did the entire 9 months previous. Just a coincidence?
No way.

As educated as I “claim to be”? Boy stop! You DON’T know me and just because we attended the same church as kids CLEARLY doesn’t mean you know what I am like. So let’s start at the beginning, I never said that you created the videos that you decided to share with your internet friends. Maybe read my WHOLE comment before you write back next time; By posting this for all your friends to see means that you agree with what it’s promoting, that the people who voted for Obama are uneducated. THAT’S where my comments originated from. Leading Data Center? I watched the video and went to it’s corresponding website where it lead me to John Ziegler’s page. I don’t think he counts as a leading data center. I showed you those videos to pantomime how absurd your video was. We don’t know the situations behind the video and I find it extremely hard to believe that out of all the voters that turned out that day NO ONE knew why they were voting. Have you ever taken statistics? I took it last year and I learned about how polls, without all the information that went into getting the data, are basically useless. This is percentages of people that THEY talked to, not of an entire Nation OR the 63.7 million people who voted for him. It’s sort of like when you watch the news and the find the most ignorant annoying people who have no idea what’s going on to talk to.
So here very quickly are some of the reasons I voted for Obama, leaving out of course that I cant stand McCain because I REALLY wanna discuss something I came across while reading your blog;
1. I am NOT rich. I am a college student and the majority of my family is middle class. I disagree that the wealth in this country is evenly distributed and easily accessible. It has now and has always been reserved for the upper 3% of the nation. I believe that Barack Obama is more in a position to change this than McCain
2. Though I support our troops, I STRONGLY disagree with the war in Iraq. We should NEVER have been there and John McCain is willing to spend the next TEN years there. I am NOT.
3. Two Words; Universal Healthcare
4. Global Warming in NOT a joke, it’s happening as we speak and if we don’t protect the planet God gave us we don’t have anywhere else to go.
5. McCain gives me the heeby jeebies, I know I said I wouldn’t discuss that I don’t like him but he does. He really BOTHERS me.
Those are just five of my reasons for voting for Obama, I’d write more but I’m REALLY taken aback by something you have on your blog. I read it like you suggested and would LOVE to know how your “experience” with black people leaves you qualified enough to honestly write some garbage about the black experience in the US. Now, I like to think that I, for the most part, am open minded. We are all God’s children, but I would NEVER attempt to tell you about the white experience in America because I’M NOT WHITE.
“One thing that bothers me is when I meet black people that are stuck in the past of slavery, which was an obvious bad era and terrible mistake in American history. They actual enslave themselves and chain themselves to their past. The worst case is when I find a person who feels this way, and doesn’t even know the history of slavery.
There are even people who argue that it is ok for black people to feel this way, yet they argue that America will always be a racist country. Listen, stop living in a mental state of slavery and give it up! Move ON! The majority of America has. Stop stooping down the stupid white people who are still wishing slavery back into existence. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
In some way, I feel that some black people are actually racists towards themselves. They live as if they are preparing for slavery to resurface.”
Just the fact that you titled a section “black people and success, do the mix?” annoys me. Now, I’m going to try and remain calm and NOT go postal. You are trying to tell me that we should, what, FORGET slavery? Pretend it never existed? Act like there aren’t still ENTIRE groups of people dedicated to the beliefs that I am less than a person? It’s ludicrous! You NEVER forget the history of your people because when you forget it will repeat itself. The majority of America has not or this section of your blog WOULDN’T exist. “racist towards themselves?” We don’t have to be, we have enough people to do that for us. I lived in our beautiful south for most of my childhood and let me share some of the joys of that time period;
I have been called a nigger by kids my age who didn’t even know what it meant; I have had THREE houses defaced with racist remarks, I’ve been attacked by members of a racist organization, I’ve been followed out of states. Maybe those are just MY experiences right?

At UT on November 15th I was told by white people, The niggers won, I bet you’re glad, I just don’t want the lower class black taking over the world.
I know that this isn’t headline information to you, why would it be? Racism STILL exists and it will as long as there are ignorant people and there are an abundance of them running around pro-creating. The attitude that you have is the reason that racism is prevalent. People can do what they want and no one will believe that it actually happened because racism doesn’t exist right? Yeah, you know everything, you’re right
As educated as I “claim to be”? Boy stop! You DON’T know me and just because we attended the same church as kids CLEARLY doesn’t mean you know what I am like. So let’s start at the beginning, I never said that you created the videos that you decided to share with your internet friends. Maybe read my WHOLE comment before you write back next time; By posting this for all your friends to see means that you agree with what it’s promoting, that the people who voted for Obama are uneducated. THAT’S where my comments originated from. Leading Data Center? I watched the video and went to it’s corresponding website where it lead me to John Ziegler’s page. I don’t think he counts as a leading data center. I showed you those videos to pantomime how absurd your video was. We don’t know the situations behind the video and I find it extremely hard to believe that out of all the voters that turned out that day NO ONE knew why they were voting. Have you ever taken statistics? I took it last year and I learned about how polls, without all the information that went into getting the data, are basically useless. This is percentages of people that THEY talked to, not of an entire Nation OR the 63.7 million people who voted for him. It’s sort of like when you watch the news and the find the most ignorant annoying people who have no idea what’s going on to talk to.”
Kevin’s Response:
First of all, I never knew we attend the same church. Sorry that I don’t remember you.
Secondly, you are mistaken again concerning the poll. The poll was conducted fairly by the top international poll conducting company called Zogby. Your research was insufficient and inadequate. John hired Zogby to conduct the poll, but the poll was not actually conducted by him. Zogby has a clear scientific method of polling that can be found by doing some more research on their website. They are a politically independent company. Please try again.

“So here very quickly are some of the reasons I voted for Obama, leaving out of course that I cant stand McCain because I REALLY wanna discuss something I came across while reading your blog;”
“1. I am NOT rich. I am a college student and the majority of my family is middle class. I disagree that the wealth in this country is evenly distributed and easily accessible. It has now and has always been reserved for the upper 3% of the nation. I believe that Barack Obama is more in a position to change this than McCain”
Kevin’s Response:
What is rich? My wife and I together make far less than $100,000 a year. I can’t give specifics because I believe it is unethical to do so in this type of arena. To many people, $30,000 would be considered rich. To many others, they would consider that poor. I currently work 2 jobs totalling about 70 hours a week on average and I typically get about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. My wife also works full-time, but she gets far more sleep than I do! We paid over $4,000 in donations and gifts last year alone and we have no kids to use for tax breaks. Add it all up and we’re just your typical D.I.N.Ks working hard to stay alive. I grew up in a middle class family. My mother worked full-time her entire life, and my dad worked anywhere from 50 to 80 hours a week depending on what the church had going on. I applaud his work ethic.
With that said, regardless of my financial status, I believe that it is the principals behind spreading the wealth that are unethical and unbiblical. You see, Jesus left it to the people to provide asisstance to other people in need. He never suggesting that the government imposed on the people of higher incomes to do so. This is the sole reason that the “church” exists. My church in particular does community outreaches on a regular basis. We provide supplies, food, toys, Christmas gifts, shelter, financial classes and job workshops for those in need.
Why should someone like myself working 70 hours a week be demanded to help support the people who are either not working at all, or only working 40 hours a week? Please tell me the ethics behind taking money from someone who has EARNED it and giving it to someone who HAS NOT EARNED it? There is no proper explanation.
Obama’s proposed tax plan is going to hurt what you call the “rich” more than it is going to help what you call the “middle-class”. What’s his big payoff? You can expect an increase in pay by about $.06 an hour. So, if you currently make $10 an hour you’ll now be making $10.06 an hour. Hope that helps you out. A person making over $250,00 will now be taxed to the point of having to close down. Don’t believe me? Have you seen the fear in the stock market lately due to the election of Obama? Did you know that on average, Republicans donate more money annually than Democrats? Did you know that I out-donated Joe Biden last year? Yep, he donated $3,000 TOTAL LAST YEAR. You voted for him.

“2. Though I support our troops, I STRONGLY disagree with the war in Iraq. We should NEVER have been there and John McCain is willing to spend the next TEN years there. I am NOT.”
Kevin’s Response:
Did you know that the majority of the American troops world-wide that have had war tours support and condone the cause and the wars they are fighting? If that is the case, and you support them, then how do you not support the war? Have you forgotten that since 9/11 America has not had a terrorist attack on U.S. soil in over 7 years, even though there have been many attempts? How can you support “spread the wealth” to those who need more money, but not support “spread the freedom” to those who have lived their lives in captivity under a violent government regime? How can you explain your position on this? It doesn’t add up. Your points are contradicting themselves.

“3. Two Words; Universal Healthcare”
Kevin’s Response:
Ha. Universal Health Care is actually three words! You watched Joe Biden too much.
This is actually going to do 2 things. First, it will deny basic healthcare to those that fall outside of the definition of “healthcare”. From the sounds of it, this is one of those things that you probably haven’t done any research on. You see… “healthcare” has a term of definitions and clauses that affect it. Coughs, cancer and heart attacks might be considered under the universal healthcare system, but hip replacement, facial reconstruction, dental work, broken bones and certain medications may not. The problem is that these terms are not defined yet. People just RAN TO THE TERM “UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE” without fully understanding it.
Secondly, doing this will create a backlog of patients that will, in time, deny or postpone any care they need to receive. Have you ever seen a line when something is being given away for free? I do think that there are better ways that what we are currently using to help in this area, but handing it out for free is not the answer. Again, who is going to pay for it? You are. I am.

“4. Global Warming in NOT a joke, it’s happening as we speak and if we don’t protect the planet God gave us we don’t have anywhere else to go.”
Kevin’s Response:
COME ON! There is absolute scientific proof that the man-made carbon foot print produced has not succeeded the natural carbon foot print to point that it could change weather patterns. In my opinion, believing this is doubting God. He has created the heavens and the earth with such perfection and detailed calculation that if we were to “mess it up” to the point of doomsday he would only have two choices to make; return to gather us for the rapture, or miraculoiusly fix it. If that is the case, then why is this an issue?

My Response:
I find it extremely hard to swallow and digest the fact that you have completely overlooked the issues on abortion, gay rights and welfare. As a Christian, how are these issues not important to you? [all I can do is shake my head in disgust]

“Those are just five of my reasons for voting for Obama, I’d write more but I’m REALLY taken aback by something you have on your blog. I read it like you suggested and would LOVE to know how your “experience” with black people leaves you qualified enough to honestly write some garbage about the black experience in the US. Now, I like to think that I, for the most part, am open minded. We are all God’s children, but I would NEVER attempt to tell you about the white experience in America because I’M NOT WHITE.”
“One thing that bothers me is when I meet black people that are stuck in the past of slavery, which was an obvious bad era and terrible mistake in American history. They actual enslave themselves and chain themselves to their past. The worst case is when I find a person who feels this way, and doesn’t even know the history of slavery.”
“There are even people who argue that it is ok for black people to feel this way, yet they argue that America will always be a racist country. Listen, stop living in a mental state of slavery and give it up! Move ON! The majority of America has. Stop stooping down the stupid white people who are still wishing slavery back into existence. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!”
“In some way, I feel that some black people are actually racists towards themselves. They live as if they are preparing for slavery to resurface.”
Kevin’s Response:
You’ve sadly misunderstood everything that I said. I understand that black people went through slavery many, many years ago and that racism is still around today. I don’t however believe that it should be used as an excuse (by white people or black people) to determine their future. I highly suggest you go back and read some more of my posts about this. You will find that I was evenly displeased as to how both whites and blacks have treated this issue. AND I’m not by any means talking about the majority of white people, or the majority of black people feeling or acting this way, I was simply mentioning it because these issues do still exists today. If they didn’t then I would not have written about it.
The fact is that there are still stupid white people that hate other races and believe that they are superior, just as there are stupid black people that hate other races and use their past as an excuse to not fulfill their future. There is nothing racist about this comment. It is just the facts.

“Just the fact that you titled a section “black people and success, do the mix?” annoys me. Now, I’m going to try and remain calm and NOT go postal. You are trying to tell me that we should, what, FORGET slavery? Pretend it never existed? Act like there aren’t still ENTIRE groups of people dedicated to the beliefs that I am less than a person? It’s ludicrous! You NEVER forget the history of your people because when you forget it will repeat itself. The majority of America has not or this section of your blog WOULDN’T exist. “racist towards themselves?” We don’t have to be, we have enough people to do that for us.

Tiara 22/11/2008 You’re a funny guy, Kevin.
*******************************************************
Sure, why not. I noticed that instead of commenting on the way that the results were obtained you chose to focus on Zogby. Super. A quick search of your favorite poller shows that more often than not, Zogby is wrong. Maybe you shouldn’t have given me that info to work with? Who knows, either way, We STILL don’t know the information behind the polls and I STILL don’t believe that the millions of people who voted don’t know why they did. You need more people. By the way, you “friended” me on myspace, not the other way around, so sorry I thought you knew me, calm down skipper.
********************************************************
I never said you WERE rich, it’s called reading comprehension, and quite frankly I don’t care how many hours a week you or your wife, who I’m sure is a lovely person, work. 30,000 considered rich? Where? In the US the poverty level for your average nuclear family, you know wife; husband; 2 kids; small dog?, is around 24,000. Maybe you should have worked those figures out again, that’s right you’re probably too tired from your 70 hour work week. I agree with you, I think people who don’t work at all need more initiative. If I work over 40 hrs a week and still go to school full time so can they! But what about people who aren’t in our position? People who work at Burger King and make minimum wage? Even working 50 hrs a week is NOT going to make a dent in the growing costs of EVERYTHING. Listen, I don’t care HOW MUCH you or Joe Biden donated last year, because I, who makes less than you donated more. Get over it. I don’t understand your question about taking from someone who earns and giving to someone who didn’t. Are you confused about something there? Come on fear because Obama is causing the stock market to crash? Really!? The lowest drop we’ve seen since 9/11 happened in September. WOW! You guys might wanna go to church and sign up for the prophecy ministry because you must of known he was gonna be elected!
************************************************************
Where’d ya get that poll from? Zogby? Anywho, Supporting, praying for and wishing the safe return of the men and women doing their jobs is not the same as blindly following their thoughts and opinions. HAHAHHA! YOU DID GET THAT FROM ZOGBY! I was just playing too! LOL! You STILL need more people. Also, that seven year thing doesn’t impress me considering that before 9/11 the last terrorist attack on US soil was in 1993. I got that one from the government. Go figure. Uh oh! My 8 years tops your 7! My points contradict themselves? How? The people who we are trying to force into freedom have made it clear that they DON’T WANT US THERE! Maybe we should follow suit.
*********************************************************
You’re right. Universal Health Care is three words. That AUTOMATICALLY makes your point correct, oh wait, no it doesn’t! I noticed you said “may” a lot. Could it be that, you DON’T know either? I don’t have a problem paying for healthcare for people who need it. Sorry.
**********************************************************
Thanks for your opinion on that, Maverick. Too bad I didn’t ask for it. Did you even read the bulletin like I suggested? Didnt think so.
**********************************************************
Again, did you even read my letter!? See now this makes ME shake MY head in disgust. I read your blog, which I didn’t really want to do. As a matter of fact, everything you talk about that was in that letter, I refuse to comment on…starting….now!

What is my point? My point is exactly what it says if you aren’t bright enough to figure it out, I don’t think I’m gonna waste the time trying to explain it to you. Hey guys, hand claps for Kevin Not putting up with it! WHOO! Get that man a cookie!
*********************************************************
Uneducated? More like I cant argue with her point so I’ll try to discredit the writer. There you go again with name calling. Sorry Kevin, it appears we got off on the wrong foot. I don’t care about how you feel about…well anything. You were just starting to annoy me with your CONSTANT posts on myspace basically whining and groaning about something that already happened. I actually only responded back with this one because I think it’s funny that you took a private discussion that we were having and posted it on your blog. So I HAD to do the same. I’m spiteful that way. So you go on being a Maverick and reppin John McCain to the fullest and I’m going to work on, you know, living. Hey have fun kid.
P.S. I’m not interested in reading your blog, just like John McCain, it gives me the heeby jeebies. Shake your head in disgust about that!
Love all around

admin 22/11/2008 The fastest way to be discredited is to continue to put uneducated information somewhere that remains built on a lack of research. You have a clear misunderstanding of fact and fiction.
—————————————————–
I haven’t even read your entire post, I just skimmed it and found many falsehoods. One of them being the last terrorist attack date happening in 1993, which if I remember correctly was attack #1 on the towers. That is incorrect. I am pretty sure that the last terrorist attack happened on April 19th, 1995. It happened in Oklahoma. Go Google it and prove yourself wrong.
——————————————————
Hey guys clap for Tiara if she can finally get something correct and you’ll never clap again!
——————————————————
When you decide to actually do some research (yet again), then please let me know so that we can continue our debate. Your Zogby stuff is still off too.

I’d write more, but I’m off to a gun show to exercise my Second Amendment right (which is part of the Bill of Rights) while I still have the chance to.
Tiara 22/11/2008 LOL! Well, your comments were….predictable. Except the gun show thing, thanks for sharing your free time activities with me. Oh, you’re still wrong about the year issue, I checked again. The Oklahoma City Bombing, though tragic, is not considered an act of terrorism according to the state departments website. And now you know and knowing is half the battle!

Hmmm... first of all, the poll and video wasn't produced by me. It was produced by the leading data center in the U.S. Therefore, I'm not stereotyping anybody, just simply spreading already created information.
Secondly, if you are as educated as you claim to be, then why did you vote for Obama?
Third, check my blog out tonight and you'll read about how the stock market has dropped more in just 15 days after Obama's election then it did the entire 9 months previous. Just a coincidence?
No way.

How can you support “spread the wealth” to those who need more money, but not support “spread the freedom” to those who have lived their lives in captivity under a violent government regime? How can you explain your position on this? It doesn’t add up. Your points are contradicting themselves.

“3. Two Words; Universal Healthcare”
Kevin’s Response:
Ha. Universal Health Care is actually three words! You watched Joe Biden too much.
This is actually going to do 2 things. First, it will deny basic healthcare to those that fall outside of the definition of “healthcare”. From the sounds of it, this is one of those things that you probably haven’t done any research on. You see… “healthcare” has a term of definitions and clauses that affect it. Coughs, cancer and heart attacks might be considered under the universal healthcare system, but hip replacement, facial reconstruction, dental work, broken bones and certain medications may not. The problem is that these terms are not defined yet. People just RAN TO THE TERM “UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE” without fully understanding it.
Secondly, doing this will create a backlog of patients that will, in time, deny or postpone any care they need to receive. Have you ever seen a line when something is being given away for free? I do think that there are better ways that what we are currently using to help in this area, but handing it out for free is not the answer. Again, who is going to pay for it? You are. I am.

“4. Global Warming in NOT a joke, it’s happening as we speak and if we don’t protect the planet God gave us we don’t have anywhere else to go.”
Kevin’s Response:
COME ON! There is absolute scientific proof that the man-made carbon foot print produced has not succeeded the natural carbon foot print to point that it could change weather patterns. In my opinion, believing this is doubting God. He has created the heavens and the earth with such perfection and detailed calculation that if we were to “mess it up” to the point of doomsday he would only have two choices to make; return to gather us for the rapture, or miraculoiusly fix it. If that is the case, then why is this an issue?

“5. McCain gives me the heeby jeebies, I know I said I wouldn’t discuss that I don’t like him but he does. He really BOTHERS me.”
My Response:
I find it extremely hard to swallow and digest the fact that you have completely overlooked the issues on abortion, gay rights and welfare. As a Christian, how are these issues not important to you? [all I can do is shake my head in disgust]
Poster:
“Those are just five of my reasons for voting for Obama, I’d write more but I’m REALLY taken aback by something you have on your blog. I read it like you suggested and would LOVE to know how your “experience” with black people leaves you qualified enough to honestly write some garbage about the black experience in the US. Now, I like to think that I, for the most part, am open minded. We are all God’s children, but I would NEVER attempt to tell you about the white experience in America because I’M NOT WHITE.”
“One thing that bothers me is when I meet black people that are stuck in the past of slavery, which was an obvious bad era and terrible mistake in American history. They actual enslave themselves and chain themselves to their past. The worst case is when I find a person who feels this way, and doesn’t even know the history of slavery.”
“There are even people who argue that it is ok for black people to feel this way, yet they argue that America will always be a racist country. Listen, stop living in a mental state of slavery and give it up! Move ON! The majority of America has. Stop stooping down the stupid white people who are still wishing slavery back into existence. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!”
“In some way, I feel that some black people are actually racists towards themselves. They live as if they are preparing for slavery to resurface.”
Kevin’s Response:
You’ve sadly misunderstood everything that I said. I understand that black people went through slavery many, many years ago and that racism is still around today. I don’t however believe that it should be used as an excuse (by white people or black people) to determine their future. I highly suggest you go back and read some more of my posts about this. You will find that I was evenly displeased as to how both whites and blacks have treated this issue. AND I’m not by any means talking about the majority of white people, or the majority of black people feeling or acting this way, I was simply mentioning it because these issues do still exists today. If they didn’t then I would not have written about it.
The fact is that there are still stupid white people that hate other races and believe that they are superior, just as there are stupid black people that hate other races and use their past as an excuse to not fulfill their future. There is nothing racist about this comment. It is just the facts.
Poster:
“Just the fact that you titled a section “black people and success, do the mix?” annoys me. Now, I’m going to try and remain calm and NOT go postal. You are trying to tell me that we should, what, FORGET slavery? Pretend it never existed? Act like there aren’t still ENTIRE groups of people dedicated to the beliefs that I am less than a person? It’s ludicrous! You NEVER forget the history of your people because when you forget it will repeat itself. The majority of America has not or this section of your blog WOULDN’T exist. “racist towards themselves?” We don’t have to be, we have enough people to do that for us. I lived in our beautiful south for most of my childhood and let me share some of the joys of that time period;“
Kevin’s Response:
You read this section wrong on my blog. My title was written to mean that BLACK PEOPLE CAN STILL BE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE. You simply read this incorrectly and I apologize if I did not clearly state it.
Poster:
“I have been called a n#@$%* by kids my age who didn’t even know what it meant; I have had THREE houses defaced with racist remarks, I’ve been attacked by members of a racist organization, I’ve been followed out of states. Maybe those are just MY experiences right? Maybe I asked for it even, what about this; There is an actual TOWN in existence right now with a sign that says “N#$%^&@ don’t let the sun set on your backs” in this town complete with a picture of a very stereotypical black male running; Jena 6;.They are STILL LYNCHING people! At UT on November 15th I was told by white people, The n@#$%^& won, I bet you’re glad, I just don’t want the lower class black taking over the world.”
Kevin’s Response:
What is your point? I know that this stuff still exists. If you would read more of my posts you would see that I have also encountered white people just like this, speaking disrespectfully and hateful towards black people AND I DID NOT PUT UP WITH IT. I argued with them until I was red and to the point almost losing my insanity because of their racism. Ask anyone down here that knows me and they will tell you that I advocate daily against racist white people… and trust me they run rampid here in Georgia.
Poster:
“I know that this isn’t headline information to you, why would it be? Racism STILL exists and it will as long as there are ignorant people and there are an abundance of them running around pro-creating. The attitude that you have is the reason that racism is prevalent. People can do what they want and no one will believe that it actually happened because racism doesn’t exist right? Yeah, you know everything, you’re right”
Kevin’s Response:
Again, you are proving yourself uneducated or uninformed… one of the two. It’s clearly obvious that you have not read all of my posts concerning these issues and until you do, there really is no reason in arguing with you on them. Go to the top of my blog and clock the tab labeled “Controvery”… I believe you’ll find them in there
Tiara 22/11/2008 You’re a funny guy, Kevin.
*******************************************************
Sure, why not. I noticed that instead of commenting on the way that the results were obtained you chose to focus on Zogby. Super. A quick search of your favorite poller shows that more often than not, Zogby is wrong. Maybe you shouldn’t have given me that info to work with? Who knows, either way, We STILL don’t know the information behind the polls and I STILL don’t believe that the millions of people who voted don’t know why they did. You need more people. By the way, you “friended” me on myspace, not the other way around, so sorry I thought you knew me, calm down skipper.
********************************************************
I never said you WERE rich, it’s called reading comprehension, and quite frankly I don’t care how many hours a week you or your wife, who I’m sure is a lovely person, work. 30,000 considered rich? Where? In the US the poverty level for your average nuclear family, you know wife; husband; 2 kids; small dog?, is around 24,000. Maybe you should have worked those figures out again, that’s right you’re probably too tired from your 70 hour work week. I agree with you, I think people who don’t work at all need more initiative. If I work over 40 hrs a week and still go to school full time so can they! But what about people who aren’t in our position? People who work at Burger King and make minimum wage? Even working 50 hrs a week is NOT going to make a dent in the growing costs of EVERYTHING. Listen, I don’t care HOW MUCH you or Joe Biden donated last year, because I, who makes less than you donated more. Get over it. I don’t understand your question about taking from someone who earns and giving to someone who didn’t. Are you confused about something there? Come on fear because Obama is causing the stock market to crash? Really!? The lowest drop we’ve seen since 9/11 happened in September. WOW! You guys might wanna go to church and sign up for the prophecy ministry because you must of known he was gonna be elected!
************************************************************
Where’d ya get that poll from? Zogby? Anywho, Supporting, praying for and wishing the safe return of the men and women doing their jobs is not the same as blindly following their thoughts and opinions. HAHAHHA! YOU DID GET THAT FROM ZOGBY! I was just playing too! LOL! You STILL need more people. Also, that seven year thing doesn’t impress me considering that before 9/11 the last terrorist attack on US soil was in 1993. I got that one from the government. Go figure. Uh oh! My 8 years tops your 7! My points contradict themselves? How? The people who we are trying to force into freedom have made it clear that they DON’T WANT US THERE! Maybe we should follow suit.
*********************************************************
You’re right. Universal Health Care is three words. That AUTOMATICALLY makes your point correct, oh wait, no it doesn’t! I noticed you said “may” a lot. Could it be that, you DON’T know either? I don’t have a problem paying for healthcare for people who need it. Sorry.
**********************************************************
Thanks for your opinion on that, Maverick. Too bad I didn’t ask for it. Did you even read the bulletin like I suggested? Didnt think so.
**********************************************************
Again, did you even read my letter!? See now this makes ME shake MY head in disgust. I read your blog, which I didn’t really want to do. As a matter of fact, everything you talk about that was in that letter, I refuse to comment on…starting….now!
**********************************************************
blah blah blah I still dont think you are the authority on a race youre not. blah blah blah
**********************************************************
Apology accepted
***********************************************************
What is my point? My point is exactly what it says if you aren’t bright enough to figure it out, I don’t think I’m gonna waste the time trying to explain it to you. Hey guys, hand claps for Kevin Not putting up with it! WHOO! Get that man a cookie!
*********************************************************
Uneducated? More like I cant argue with her point so I’ll try to discredit the writer. There you go again with name calling. Sorry Kevin, it appears we got off on the wrong foot. I don’t care about how you feel about…well anything. You were just starting to annoy me with your CONSTANT posts on myspace basically whining and groaning about something that already happened. I actually only responded back with this one because I think it’s funny that you took a private discussion that we were having and posted it on your blog. So I HAD to do the same. I’m spiteful that way. So you go on being a Maverick and reppin John McCain to the fullest and I’m going to work on, you know, living. Hey have fun kid.
P.S. I’m not interested in reading your blog, just like John McCain, it gives me the heeby jeebies. Shake your head in disgust about that!
Love all around
Tiara
admin 22/11/2008 The fastest way to be discredited is to continue to put uneducated information somewhere that remains built on a lack of research. You have a clear misunderstanding of fact and fiction.
—————————————————–
I haven’t even read your entire post, I just skimmed it and found many falsehoods. One of them being the last terrorist attack date happening in 1993, which if I remember correctly was attack #1 on the towers. That is incorrect. I am pretty sure that the last terrorist attack happened on April 19th, 1995. It happened in Oklahoma. Go Google it and prove yourself wrong.
——————————————————
Hey guys clap for Tiara if she can finally get something correct and you’ll never clap again!
——————————————————
When you decide to actually do some research (yet again), then please let me know so that we can continue our debate. Your Zogby stuff is still off too.
——————————————————
I’d write more, but I’m off to a gun show to exercise my Second Amendment right (which is part of the Bill of Rights) while I still have the chance to.
Tiara 22/11/2008 LOL! Well, your comments were….predictable. Except the gun show thing, thanks for sharing your free time activities with me. Oh, you’re still wrong about the year issue, I checked again. The Oklahoma City Bombing, though tragic, is not considered an act of terrorism according to the state departments website. And now you know and knowing is half the battle!

It's been forever!
I've been saying I was gonna post here for MONTHS! I just havent had the time, those out there in blogger world know how it is and what's up! School has started again and I am halfway through this semester...it's easier than usual..I'm worried. So much crap has happened, let's discuss!
1. I turned 23!
Year of the Jordan
I am offically GROWN! I dont know why but I have always thought that 23 means you are officially adult and what now! Granted you can go to big people jail but people actually think you can have intelligent convo with them! I am so excited. For my recent age change I re-did my room. Yeah, new paint, furniture, set up it's hot like fire! Then I cop'ed an all new wardrobe. Oh yeah I realized while re-doing my room that I have 32 t-shirts that say things. THIRTY TWO! Can you believe that? They are cute and I like them but it was time to move on. Thennnn I cut my hair! That's right my hair that I have been growing for years, the hair that was slowly creeping down my back, chopped off to chin lenght. I miss it..badly! I cant wait for it to grow back.
2. BARACK OBAMA!
I have SERIOUS Obama fever! I was so thrilled when he was elected I didnt know what to do with myself! I campaigned for him for months and to see it come to pass was amazing! We are taught from a young age to not expect much out of life and to be happy with what were given. We are told we can be anything we want to be with a few expectations and this is supposed to be enough. Today though, I honestly believe these things. I honestly believe that my potential is limitless and you should too! YES WE DID!
I gotta go do some actual homework so I have to go. Hey, how about some Young Jeezy to ease the pain of parting?
I'm officially changing my slogan to YES WE CAN!

Summertime
Yeah, SOOOOOOO
It's been a long ass summer and it's only been a month. This will be a short post because I am currently typing this while looking over my shoulder. There is a very large, very resiliant spider in my room somewhere. I threw everything within reaching distance at it and the bitch wouldnt die. I mean CD'S, DVD's, books, turtle food, clothing, shoes, bottles, a Rubik's cube, lotion and a deck of cards and it still wouldnt leave. Finally I found a bottle of Lysol and sprayed it over and over again. It's STILL alive and running around and I will not, I repeat WILL NOT rest until the bitch is dead. Holla.
GO TO CHURCH!

Mama...I hurt.
YELLO! It has been THE longest week of my life! I left my old job at the Y (:() where I made little to no money to go to my new job at a rental car agency where I make twice of what I made before. Hoorary right? No. Not hooray. Let's discuss.
REASONS MY NEW JOB, THOUGH PROFITABLE, SUCKS ASS.
1. Smokers. 98% of the people who work at my job smoke. GAG ME. I can't stand smoke since my mother stopped smoking when I was a kid. She was messing with my chronic bronchitis and my brothers asthma so she was you know...obligated to. I think she still resents it. I kid, I kid. However, smoking is still "fucking nasty, bitch" thanks facebook. Not only do these people smoke, they take 5 minute smoking breaks every 20-30 min. I'm there well over 8 hours. I dont feel like doing the math but this is quite frankly disgusting.
2. Age. I just left a job where all the workers were between the ages of 20 and 31 to go to a job where all the workers are between the ages of almost 22 (me) and late 60ish. There are five chicks at the desk, me, a late 50'ish woman,a 47 year old, a 35 year old, a 34 year old and a 31 year old. All the guys that do the hard work, cleaning and shuttleling are around 50-60. IMAGINE our conversations. I almost threw up when they started talking about their fondness of president Bush. siiiggggghhhhhh. The above picture could have been taken at work if that little girl was a.) black and well, that's the only qualifier.
3.Gossip. This is crazy. All of these older, wiser women totally being crotches to each other. I mean within my first day of filling out paper work, not even working there mind you, I learned that one of the girls is a hypochondriac, the other is a quietly vicious old beast, one is a worry wart who has financial issues and the other has autistic kids. I didnt even know this chick! Then they say I'm too quite. Because I dont want my business all over the damn building! All of their friends call and stop by too. This wouldnt be so bad if these were normal people. As they arent it's actually quite unbearable. Here's a nice big steaming cup of shut the fuck up.
4.Sailors mouths. These old women curse like you wouldnt believe! I have never heard such filth coming out of the mouths of ladies. One flicked a guy off today. SHE.FLICKED.HIM.OFF. I was in total shock. WHO DOES THAT? I know I curse, but not like this. I censor myself a great deal in public, you know, cuz I have home training.
5. Random aches. Since I started I have had the most random pains. My neck and shoulders are super achey and my legs and feet hurt. The hell. I stood on my feet for 8 hours a day 4 days a week and never felt pain like this. I need some help.
6. IT'S BORING! I'm only there 8 hours this week and I'm bored as hell. Imagine my TEN hour shift. No seriously, there is NOTHING to do. I have a game folder with games from the 90's but I can only play it when the boss is out and surprise, surprise I'm training. It is literally like watching paint dry. literally. They painted and I watched it dry.
I have training an hour a way next week. so I'll be gone from 7:30am until 6:00 p.m. Hip Hip hooray!
Also, one of my dogs had to have emergency surgery. Tuesday he had an "let's eat everything we come in contact with" party. He ate a towel, a bag of hot dog buns including the wrapper, he ate a cardbord box, and a mitten. Yes, a mitten. He's been throwing up and having a bad case of the BG's(bubble guts) since then. Today I started getting worried, I'm a tad bit overprotective since my other dog died in November. I took him to the vet and he was whoopin they ass until they sedated him. Turns out he has an obstruction of his small intestines and they have to have emergency surgery or I have to put him down. Tough decision...NOT. So while I'm tryna figure out how I can come up with this money I just wrote a bad check for I'm prayin like you would not believe. I was shaking and stuff. He was o.k. though, she had to push it through to his large intestine and he can hopefully come home tomorrow or Sat. I'M SO EXCITED...AND I JUST CANT HIDE IT! I love my dogs to death and he hasnt been away from us since he was a little baby. I hope he sleeps through the night until I can go see him tomorrow after the boringest job ever. It also only turned out to be half of what they thought it was. HOORAY! I dont have to put on the red light...I kid, I kid.
School sucks. I dont think I'ma have the money to pay for this semester so I dont think I'ma go. I'm hella tired anywayz so a week off should help. I'm only sad that I'm not gonna get to do something I've been waiting years to do. I'd put it here but on the off chance it does happen I dont want any incriminating evidence. Oh wellz. If it was meant to be it'll be, soon. THANKS JAY-Z!
Juanita Bynum got beat the hell down by her husband. This is so sad. What's worse it the way people keep saying that it's her own fault. BULL! Domestic violence is never the victims fault dummies. Please dont let hate get in the way of your own common sense.
Michael Vick. He's a dumbass. I'd write more but I've already written one obligatory blog post about him. I copied it down below. This was after some random said something dumb about it JUST being animals and if he was white we'd let him off etc. etc. etc.:
Maaaaannnnnnnn I was reading these posts getting super hot! What genius would do some idiocy like swerve OFF the road and kill six kids to miss a squirrel? That’s reaching. I'm not gonna attempt to explain what someone else said because I don’t know them so I don’t know what they meant. Here's how I feel about it. Vick is guilty. Guilty for being a cruel, indecent human being. He viciously killed animals that he bought, traded and bred for slaughter. For shame on us for wanting to hold him accountable for his actions. As an animal lover I would swerve to miss the squirrel, but NOT at the cost of human life. It's not a matter of humans over animals, its about not being a jackass. Who can honestly say if they could have avoided killing an animal they wouldn’t have? Not anyone sane. Not even yourself. Animal life should not be placed over human life, but we also shouldn’t go out of our way to kill them unneeded.
I also understand that biblically speaking we were given domain over animals. There are a few other quotes in the bible concerning animals too, here's one:
A good man takes care of his animals, but wicked men are cruel to theirs.
- Proverbs 12:10
Hmmmmm......Maybe that's too much rationalism for some people. Since we are on the bible, isn’t the point of our existence to be exalting God and living our lives as Christ like as possible? Well the bible says:
The Lord is loving and merciful... He is good to everyone and has compassion on all he has made.
- Psalms 145:8-9
ALL HE HAS MADE. He made everything including dogs and squirrels :)
I can understand people saying that if this was a person he'd get off believe you me, I get it. What shocks me is that we say this with such ease. The fact that we are readily able to supply this man with an excuse for his ridiculous behavior is appalling. This is the same man that we let off the hook for infecting people with HERPES! This dude knew he was burnin and was still blessin chicks with the gift that keeps on givin. This is just the beginning of his stupid behavior, middle fingers to fans, not really playing in 05, kicking it with people who had records for drug trafficking. COME ON MAN! He has consistently stupid behavior. It's time Vick grows the hell up. He was man enough to do dumb crap so he needs to be man enough to own up to it. Period.

School sucks. I dont think I'ma have the money to pay for this semester so I dont think I'ma go. I'm hella tired anywayz so a week off should help. I'm only sad that I'm not gonna get to do something I've been waiting years to do. I'd put it here but on the off chance it does happen I dont want any incriminating evidence. Oh wellz. If it was meant to be it'll be, soon. THANKS JAY-Z!
Juanita Bynum got beat the hell down by her husband. This is so sad. What's worse it the way people keep saying that it's her own fault. BULL! Domestic violence is never the victims fault dummies. Please dont let hate get in the way of your own common sense.
Michael Vick. He's a dumbass. I'd write more but I've already written one obligatory blog post about him. I copied it down below. This was after some random said something dumb about it JUST being animals and if he was white we'd let him off etc. etc. etc.:
Maaaaannnnnnnn I was reading these posts getting super hot! What genius would do some idiocy like swerve OFF the road and kill six kids to miss a squirrel? That’s reaching. I'm not gonna attempt to explain what someone else said because I don’t know them so I don’t know what they meant. Here's how I feel about it. Vick is guilty. Guilty for being a cruel, indecent human being. He viciously killed animals that he bought, traded and bred for slaughter. For shame on us for wanting to hold him accountable for his actions. As an animal lover I would swerve to miss the squirrel, but NOT at the cost of human life. It's not a matter of humans over animals, its about not being a jackass. Who can honestly say if they could have avoided killing an animal they wouldn’t have? Not anyone sane. Not even yourself. Animal life should not be placed over human life, but we also shouldn’t go out of our way to kill them unneeded.
I also understand that biblically speaking we were given domain over animals. There are a few other quotes in the bible concerning animals too, here's one:
A good man takes care of his animals, but wicked men are cruel to theirs.
- Proverbs 12:10
Hmmmmm......Maybe that's too much rationalism for some people. Since we are on the bible, isn’t the point of our existence to be exalting God and living our lives as Christ like as possible? Well the bible says:
The Lord is loving and merciful... He is good to everyone and has compassion on all he has made.
- Psalms 145:8-9
ALL HE HAS MADE. He made everything including dogs and squirrels :)
I can understand people saying that if this was a person he'd get off believe you me, I get it. What shocks me is that we say this with such ease. The fact that we are readily able to supply this man with an excuse for his ridiculous behavior is appalling. This is the same man that we let off the hook for infecting people with HERPES! This dude knew he was burnin and was still blessin chicks with the gift that keeps on givin. This is just the beginning of his stupid behavior, middle fingers to fans, not really playing in 05, kicking it with people who had records for drug trafficking. COME ON MAN! He has consistently stupid behavior. It's time Vick grows the hell up. He was man enough to do dumb crap so he needs to be man enough to own up to it. Period.

siiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
I wrote a very long extensive post with pictures about my joy of school ending two weeks ago. Blogger fudged that up. In my anger I have abstained from blogger for a few weeks to mellow out, kinda clear my head from the anger that threatened to erupt onto my Dell. I am calm now. However, I would like to point out that if the blogger ever deletes my extensive posts again I will fuck.it.up. That is all.

Drunk driving and other special olympic events
Soooo. From the title you could probably figure out what I'm gonna say. I had to drunk drive home recently. Let me first start off by saying Drunk Driving is horrible! You put your life and others at risk every second you're behind the wheel.....but what had happened was is this: I go to a party roughly 10 minutes away from my house. I'm only drinking a little so I think I'm o.k. to drive. As the night goes on we play many many games. I get very, very drunk. I dont have a way home besides driving because 1: I have NO money in the bank. All I have is the cash I gave to my mom so I would'nt spend it. 2. My mom is in Detroit for the night. 3. The people at the party are more drunk than I am. 4. The only people I can call are at a party downtown getting drunk. 5. My grandparents are dead sleep as well as my aunt and uncle who live in town. Soooooooooo. I have no choice but to drive home. I did pretty well considering I possess the ability to sober up for like 20 min at a time. No, seriously. I can fake sober for 20 MIN. This is more than enough time to talk to a sober parent,friend or officer; find my keys; call in sick etc. etc. etc. I have a friend who get's drunk like this every few days. She has a problem. No seriously, I think she is an alchi. She blacks out and has started coming to the J-O-B drunk. Today we had to send her home. If my director wasnt a complete DOLT she would have been fired. So the moral of this story.. Dont drink and drive! It's bad. Also,
