talia castellano

talia castellano, talia, talia is all i have seen all over Facebook today and yesterday. Who the hell is she? I asked.

I'm informed she is a girl with cancer, sorry HAD cancer who was an honorary Cover Girl. Her motto was the same as a line I swear I hear in Finding Nemo.."just keep swimming". An inspiration because she didn't let her illness get the best of her, always stayed positive etc etc.

Maybe I'm being a heartless hateful soulless bitch but I don't see the big deal. To her parents, yes, they just lost their daughter. My question is, what makes this little girl so much more important than everything else that's going on right now? so many people are caught up feeling so bad for this little girl dying or a mesical condition that has NO CURE,that they forget that there so many other little girls out there who have already died or are going to die because they also have cancer, but we're not going to hear about them all over Facebook. She didn't do anything note worthy, she did the norm and is being worshiped practically by all the people who followed her and facebooked her.

Staying positive, and all that bullshit is what your supposed to do, is what every single person who survived cancer or are still fighting do. I thought I was going to lose someone I love to cancer, but instead we all stayed positive. He never let his illness get the better of him and he survived and is cancer free.

I'm not hating on her, I'm glad she is not longer suffering, I'm hating on the fact that people idolize her.

Racial Bullshit

Since everyone has a stick up their ass lately about racial crap I'm here to say I don't fuckin care. The US is a melting pot people! We learned (well i learned) about that in junior high. How many of you are one race? I know damn good and well its not a lot. For a fact. I am Irish, Swedish,Mexican, and Choctaw Indian. 

One black kid gets killed by a Graham Cracker (he's White and Hispanic), yes that's right, he's not just a white guy who shot a black kid, and the media goes nuts..I'm sitting here thinking:
"These fuckin idiots"
You all are ao worked up over it, you forget there are thousands of kids being killed. There are hundreds of people killed in nlack on black crime, and no one seems to care. Only if its a non-black person being accused.

Racism is very much alive in the US. The Zimmerman trial just happened to point out that blacks are the more racist group of people.

Don't get it twisted people, I am not a racist, I can honestly say I hate all races equally. Many think that's a cop out or a lie but its true, and ill tell you why:

White People: they have a mr.universe conplex because their white, as thought they are the superior race, and have been taught that their entire lives. They trampled every other race to build this great nation that's falling apart.

Black People: its sad that they have to be categorised as eithe black or a nigger. I hate that word but I now understand the difference. They talk as though they have the vocabulary of a first grader. They chose to represent themselves a certain way and then get defensive when you treat them a certain way

Asians: honestly I just hate how their women are ridiculously gorgeous to the extent that the rest of us don't stand a chance..

Mexicans/Hispanics: if you are here illegally I think you need to get your ass back to Mexico. Sounds hateful but my family came here from Mexico, but they did it right! If your going to come here I think you should have to learn English, take the citizenship test in English.

I don't understand how people can support this country, knowing its built on the Idea that different people of different backgrounds and different ways of life can come together and live as one, and work together dispite the differences, can still hate people solely based on the color of their skin. Poor Martin Luther King...shame he fought so hard for something, only to have things regress.

Referees? or Players?

I have had it up to here with this crap. I'm pretty sure anyone who has played more than a season of Soccer will understand.

In soccer there are 11 people per team on the field at one time(yes 11 including the keeper/goalie)
There are 2 AR's aka Assistant Ref's, they run up and down the sideline in an attempt to be positive that you are or are not offsides.
Then Ladies and germs there is ONE center Ref.

Now I admit on while sitting on the sidelines players question the refs calls:

"wasnt that a hand ball?"
"how is that not a call?"

Thats one thing, everyone does that, but im telling you right now it really grinds my gears to hear the players on the field question the refs call.

If the ref doesnt see it, he cant call it.

If you were shoved to the ground as you were falling and the ref doesnt call it, THEN SUCK IT UP!!
If you were elbowed while fighting for the ball and its not called..THEN SUCK IT UP!!

I may not agree with the refs choice but its his call not yours.
Unless you would like to swap out your jersey for a refs and be given a whistle by all means.

I complain about refs, but i NEVER get in their face and tell them they are wrong.

If the calls are not going your way, suck it up. Tell your players its a soccer game not UFC. There is no need to get hostile or try to fight with someone.

However, Soccer is a contact sport.

 If you want a call every time you hit the ground, GO HOME!

If youre a girl and feel the guys were too rough with you on the field, then GO HOME!

My point is, unless you are wearing a referee jersey then keep your mouth shut, keep your comments to yourself, and save that UFC bullshit for when your fighting with your siblings!

Out of Proportion

Well, its official. An official from the national "Justice for Trayvon" announced to the press after the verdict that they will be hosting a press conference on Sunday at the courthouse.

Do you want to know why they are having a press conference?

To announce an National day of protest for Monday.

Go ahead and protest the verdict or whatever it is your protesting, but in a year or so, no one ill be protesting or causing a scene. By then there will be another racial based court case.

Sick Son of a Bitch

While on the CNN website rummaging through the many Zimmerman articles I come across one that literally made my stomach drop.

Some Sick Son of a Bitch in Pennsylvania set his (now ex) girlfriend's 7 year old son on fire! A 35 year old man and his two sons, ages 11 and 15, shot this boy with pellet guns in the face, and all over his body. They then poured nail polish remover all over the boys shirt and set him on fire.

His mother(the girlfriend) came home to her son sitting on a couch covered in burns. 10% of his body as covered in 3rd degree burns.

How could it get any worse you ask?
He recorded it on his phone.

that's a level of twisted I never ever want to see.

Zimmerman

Now I haven't been following this case religiously like some have, but I followed it here and there. I mean its hard not to when its literally plastered on every news channel possible.

This is going to cause an uproar. Too many people where focusing on the racial factors in this case instead of the case itself and the facts that where presented. The Black community(yes i said black, ill explain later) is upset and angry because a black kid was killed. That's it, bottom line.

This is going to piss some people off but, i honestly don't care about the verdict. Yes, a mother lost her son, a child lost their life, but i will not sit here and be blinded, this so called child was not as innocent as he was presented. There was a fight between them, it was not one sided, it was not some grown man killing an innocent child. Zimmerman killed Trayvon, that was never up for debate. whether or not Zimmerman would serve jail time or not was the question. Zimmerman was found Not Guilty. Ok, that should be the end of it. 

Zimmerman will forever have a target on his back. Whether he deserves to walk around as a target, I am not one to say,but  legally he is not guilty of anything. Just hope there isn't a story on the news in the next fe months that Zimmerman was killed or something.

Quilts and Things

Well today I begin my weekend of grandparent bonding time.

Meaning there is some sort of quilt function going on. More specifically speaking a quilt show in Humble.

Quilt shows are just that. An entire show of different types of quilts on display and booths set up to sell anything and everything needed to make a quilt. Fabric, sewing machines, quilting machines, thread, patterns etc etc. Then therevare the scattered booths of jewelry, beads, and other crafts and homemade crafts for sale.

Now I know what your thinking. Why on earth would I want to spend a weekend surrounded by little old ladys and their quilts??

Well ill tell you.
The quilts on display are amazing and ridiculously good.

The little old ladys love when their friends grandkids come.

There is always food

Ups my golden child status :)

All in all its great. :) ill be sure to do a follow up blog with pictures of the different quilts I find interesting

No more pride

As most people know, I was living in Port Arthur with a "significant" other.
But as of this past week I am back in Orange and making some changes.

I dont want any sympathetic "oh what happened?" Or "are you doin ok?". Just dont ask.

I am fine. I realized I deserved better than what I was getting. I didnt need or have to deal with the words that were thrown around.

I now realize I hate changing my address. I hate being cussed at. And I hate that im so behind in life. Im not where I want to be.

If anyone knows or hears of a job opening let me know. Or if by any chance you know someone who wants to just give money away..lol (I wish right? Lol)

There are going to be some changes made. Dont be too against the changes I make..right now I just need support and encouragement to get where I want to go..

So I have no more pride. I had to swallow it all when I called my dad and asked if I could come home. But at this moment it was the right thing to do

Irritating

Every year there are numerous stories all over the news about Americans who go to other countries either on business or for pleasure. All fine and dandy except they are not on the news because they have miraculous vacation photos or have signed some major piece of paper declaring world peace. No, they end up on the news because they go missing, get kidnapped, locked up in jail or end up dead.

I am not sure if i have made it clear before or not but I feel like all of these Americans that decide to go to these hostile countries, most of whom have stated in one way or another that they hate Americans, are stupid and have their priorities out of place.

I'm curious as to what motivates these people to put all of their hard work an effort into trying to help the people in these countries, or what motivates them to vacation there. I have heard of people wanting to go to Turkey for vacation but then again they just found the body of a missing mother from New York

I'm also curious as to why someone would want to go to a place referred to as "one of the toughest places on earth"(John Kerry). I have never had the urge or every heard anyone say:

Hey lets go to Afghanistan/Libya/Iran/Lebanon/Syria/Algeria/Iraq for out summer vacation!

It doesn't happen. .

I have gotten the response that, they just want to help the children, or they want to help with medical care. Have you lost your mind? Have they ever seen the children here in their own backyard? Maybe they should help the children here before they make these foreign kids their priority. As for medical care I hate to sound harsh but..fuck them. Its not up to Americans to go over seas to these dangerous countries and help their sick and dying. Why not help the sick and dying here in their own country?

I know this will probably flip some peoples lids but I dont believe in world peace. I think its a crock of shit pipe dream we all hold onto in the hopes that one day our world will one day be a better place but I highly doubt it.

White Girl Tortillas

As of yesterday I have become obsessed with making tortillas.
Yayo asked him mom yesterday if she could show me how to make tortillas.

As i sat in the kitchen watching...

She put flour in a bowl
added some salt
then added 2 handfuls of shortening
mixed it together
added warm water and made dough
kneaded the dough
broke it into bits rolled it up and flattened it a little
Rolled each dough ball out
put it on the hot iron skillet
and
BAM
Tortillas!

After she went home...i tried..
Today I tried...4 different times..

My tortillas turned out all kinds of weird..
some turned out like crackers
some like the regular flour tortillas you but at the store
Some came out with hard edges
and of course some burned

Never realized how white I am until these damn tortillas...

OK Ladies and Gents...Very Serious

POLICE WARNING, Serious Stuff!!!!!! This is an actual email from the (POLICE) Police Warning Ladies: Pass this to friends & daughters, EVERY FEMALE YOU KNOW!!! _____________________

People are R E A L L Y crazy! If you are a female, take heed!!! Please pass this along! Always, "Better safe than sorry!"
A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out of courtesy and got in her car. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman.
As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath.
She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment.
She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.
This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them.
This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time you are alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.
PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY FEMALE/MALE YOU KNOW!!!!

Bills Bills Bills

I have to say I went to the doctor a lot when I was little. I checked the mail a lot when I was little. I never remember getting 3 different bills for one visit...I went to the Emergency Room in January and I'm just getting yet another bill in the mail...I received 2 already...

I dont completely understand the medical bill world but this is ridiculous.

Ban Coffee

So I watched this story on CNN about the levels of caffeine in Monster Energy Drink.

I'm astounded that people are so concerned about the levels of caffeine. There are so many other things we should be worried about.

Yeah so some kid died from drinking 2 Monsters in a 24hr period from myocarditis.
(for those who didnt take medical term inflammation of the cardiac muscles.)

If we are so worried about caffeine then maybe they should ban coffee. I can distinctly remember that Mr.Thomas (my gov/eco teacher) one morning in class gave the class a warning that if he started twitching in the back it was because Cookie made the coffee in the teachers lounge that day.
He did seem wired most of the morning.

Its stated in the in the news story that a Starbucks coffee(grande) is about 330mg of caffeine, where as a 8oz of Monster is about 80 mg.

Monster is going to start labeling as a beverage instead of a dietary supplement. My question is who thought it was a supplement? I sure as hell didnt.

Just watch the video, I think the attorney who talks is just stupid. he seems so worried and concerned. Pretty soon everyone will get worked up about some other food or beverage and it will be a nutritional uproar that no one will pay attention to.

If everyone is so concerned about nutrition and the caffeine levels and if its harmful or not to their bodies,their kids bodies..then there wouldnt be an obesity problem.

I mean really? Monsters? Caffeine levels? Now I personally drink Monsters every now and again. I actually prefer Redbull.

If they start wanting to mess with coffee, all hell will break loose.I know too many people who would murder if they didnt have their coffee in the morning...

God have mercy on their souls if they do..

Weird Dream

Well, as of right now I'm not allowing certain people to get on planes.
I had a very weird and kinda scary dream last night.

It felt like a Reunion of people i went to school with as far back as Junior High.

My Yayo for some reason got on a plane to go to Germany.
Laina, Michael, Mychal,Alex,Erick, my dad and Nutz all got on a plane going to some other country.

Someone said their planes had crashed and no one survived.

Then the reasons why the planes went down started up.
Malfunction
equiptment
engine failure

and some genius I went to school with decided to say
"maybe its a zombie apocalypse."

So we start talking about zombies and how they could have caused the crash.
lol we even pretended to be zombies and freakin out

Then the mentally challenged girl i went to school with in Junior High that everyone made fun of(i think she was autistic) shows up and actually starts trying to eat people!!

I woke up during the scramble to either kill her or run..

Oscars

I didnt watch the Oscars but as i scrolled through my newsfeed of only news channels and newspapers, I felt as if I had.

I found that the same events where on every news channel and every newspaper with different titles. Anyway after reading all the different titles and watching various news clips and video clips i felt as if I had watched them.

I know Ben Afflec was so proud of his Oscar. He got so emotional and sounded like a big panocha.
I know that some chick tripped on her way to receive her Oscar.

I know so much its crazy only the 2 above where my favs lol.

Then i read that the Oscars have higher ratings but with more negative feedback/reviews.

Maybe I'll watch the next Oscars..

Is It Ok?

Death is a natural thing. It happens to the people we least expect. It happens to everyone, no matter your shape, size, ethnicity, religious views etc. But what happens to those who don't die? To the ones who were close to the ones who did die?

I lost someone very important to me almost 3 years ago.

It doesnt feel like 3 years.

I don't think about losing him, or that he died. When i do think about it it feels like it happened yesterday, not 3 years ago.

It hurts more than anything in the world. It hurts more than I could explain.

I think about so much, and with each passing thought the pain intensifies.

I think about how we didnt talk a lot once i started growing up. How we didnt hang out. We didnt write letters or call or text or email.

I think about how a few years before his passing we didnt even see each other. The family didnt even bring him up in front of me.

I think about all of the milestones in my life that he promised he would be there for, the life events I wanted him to be apart of....
High School Graduation
College Graduation
Wedding
Kids Births
Kids Birthdays
Holidays

He taught me so much growing up.
He taught me to stand up for myself and not let anyone push me around.
He taught me that i deserve the best and to never settle.

He told me so much about my dad when I was little and asked a million questions.
He told me to appreciate my little brother no matter how much he annoyed me.

He helped me knock a minute off of my mile run for school.
He helped me punt the ball for soccer.

He helped me in so many ways and taught me so many things.

When I found out what happened I lost every bit of strength I had. I lost every thought I had going through my mind.

The next week of my life was nothing but erratic thoughts and a lot of crying. I cried so much that by the time the holiday break was over and i went back to school, i didn't have any tears left. I tried so hard to stay strong while i was at school. I tried so hard to not cry, to hold it together.

 I broke down once, in the middle of class, I started to cry in class. As embarrassing as it was I didn't care. I needed to get out of the classroom, and lucky for me I was allowed to go to the bathroom, where i cried from the moment the classroom door closed behind me to the moment i stepped back into class.

Every day for over a month I tried to stay strong, I tried to hide it all from everyone around me how much pain I was in. They knew, my family knew how much pain I was in but they let me handle it in my own way. They knew if i needed or wanted to talk I'd go to them.

Now, today I'm hit with an overwhelming wave of emotion. I have a knot in my throat and want nothing more than to hide under my blankets and just cry. I want to cry until I can't cry anymore, cry till I pass out or fall asleep. I want to cry in the hopes that it will make the pain go away even just a little. I want to cry in the hopes that I will feel better..

But it won't. It wont make me feel better.

It wont make the pain go away.

It wont help me anymore than stabbing myself in the eye will help me.

And most importantly...
It wont bring him back.

But as I sit here alone in the dark, typing every little thought that pops in my head, every emotion that is reeking havoc inside of me, I can feel the tears streaming down my face, I can feel the same pain I felt when I first found out, I can feel the know in my throat forcing me to cry and let it all out. I can hear his voice telling me everything will be ok but i'm so unsure of that..

What the Hell happened?

what the hell happened to women having some respect for themselves??

what happened to modesty? Self respect? leaving things to mystery?

Literally a girl,i cant say woman, makes a video of herself lifting her shirt to reveal her push up bra with her breasts(boobs tits w/e you want to call them) mashed up to make them look bigger.

I have to call her a girl, not a woman. No self respecting WOMAN, would do some ignorant crap like that and then post it on the internet.

What happened to sun dresses? No, not slut dresses that barely cover your ass and have barely enough fabric to keep your breasts in check. I mean sun dresses. Tea length, knee length, floor length even. Did they vanish out of thin air when every girl or wannabe woman decided that dressing like a complete slut or hooker was cute? or sexy?

Of course there will be those women/girls who will say that I'm hatin, or that I'm jealous because I dont have a body like theirs.

Well you know what? *steps on soap box*

I have a body, it may not be Victoria's Secret great(which lets be honest i like double bacon cheeseburgers way too much to be that thin), I may not have ridiculous almost fake looking curves, but i have a body, and i like it the way it is, and what i like most is that not every person on the internet can see it.

I bet no woman/girl that will post videos like that or pictures practically showing all the goods have never heard the phrase:

Why buy the cow, if you get the milk for free?

I am literally ashamed to be apart of this generation. Throughout history many many women have done so much to get equal rights, and the right to vote. Now its that we want to be treated equal. Why is anyone going to want to be an equal with you?

Women get mad at the guys who stare at their chest, their ass, their bodies in public. My question is:
Did you even look in the mirror before you left the house? Do you not see your breasts trying to escape? Your ass eating your shorts? Your skirt "magically" trying to reach for the sky? You're wannabe stripper or hooker heels?

Chris Rock said it best:

Ok Ok You're not a whore, but you are wearing a whores uniform

Grow up! Put some clothes on! No man in his right mind is going to be with a woman like that and take her serious. You wonder why so many guys are shallow or pigs. You give them every reason to be.

I'm waiting for the day that women now a days,in my generation and younger go out and get some standards, and some self respect.(I wont hold my breath)

If you can't respect yourself, why the hell is anyone else going to?

*steps off soapbox*

 

Valentines Day

Well, today is Valentines Day.

To some it's Thursday.

To others its a day of love and showing appreciation to your significant other, girlfriend, wife, fiancee, etc.

I know there are many people who will say:
Well I think its stupid, if you really love someone you should show how much you love them and appreciate them every day of the year.

Yes, this is true. But, of the rest of the year, how often do you actually see people doing it? Many are in fact showing their person every day of the year. It;s not until Valentines Day that its made public. You see women wearing the jewelry their person got them, or you see them out to eat at her favorite restaurant, or you see couples acting more in love.

Its no that the appreciation or the love isn't there, its just been hiding. Valentines Day is the one accepted day where every couple is allowed to be a "Throw Up Couple" without people getting offended or upset.

The reference "Throw Up Couple" is one I have used since I started High School. I saw a couple at the grocery store buying hot cocoa. Now the conversation literally went like this:

Guy: Baby, go ahead and get the one with marshmallows I know you love marshmallows.
Girl: But Baby I know you don't like marshmallows, get the one without them.
Guy: But Baby you like the one with marshmallows
Girl: I know but you don't like the one with marshmallows

Now as you can imagine they were talking in there little kid voices(the voices you use to talk to kids under the age of 6). It continued on for another 20 minutes before they decided to get both. Just hearing them talk made me want to throw up, hence the term.

Now back to Valentines Day.

"I want to wish you a Happy Valentines Day
but unless this card is going to get you
naked I have to admit my hearts not really in it"

To those of you who are single on this Valentines Day, don't be so cynical. You turn into the Scrooge, Grinch etc of Valentines Day. There are plenty of other people who are single as well,who don't celebrate even though they are in a relationship, or just don't care. Take the opportunity to talk to people. Men, then there are plenty or women who are single today. Women, there are plenty of single men out there today.

Then there are the people who think Valentines Day is a guaranteed night of getting to do the horizontal tango. Come on man really? I say man because it's usually the men who can't find a dance partner, women don't have as much trouble.

Going out and finding some random woman or a random man to "dance" with is not smart. But it you want to go out and ruin a romance filled day with getting something you can't wash off, go ahead, but remember that it's your own fault!

Also be a grown up and let your next dance partner know! Don't give them something they can't wash off.


If for you today is just Thursday, then still be positive. Friday is tomorrow and you're one day closer to the weekend.

If you are celebrating today, then Happy Valentines Day to you and your person. I hope you both enjoy it, and that its memorable.

Too Early

well, today I woke up this morning, as Yayo was going to work, with the intention of cleaning the kitchen up before his mom decided to come over today. I got up, walked into the kitchen and realized...its too early.

I am now laying back in bed falling asleep.

If she comes over today it will literally be the one day this week that the kitchen has been any kind of mess.

Some of you are surprised and asking yourselves why cleaning my kitchen knowing his mom is coming over is such a big deal.

Its a big deal because if the house isn't clean it isn't anybodies fault but my own. It's a reflection of me. Not to mention the fact that Yayo comes from a traditional Mexican family. This in turn means that there is a Virgin Mary or Lady of Guadalupe in the house or a cross of some kind, and that as his girlfriend it's my job or its required of me to keep the house clean.

Anyway, its too early. I'll spam Facebook and maybe even write a Valentines Day blog later today. That is, AFTER I clean the damn kitchen.

Bill Cosby

 "I'm 83 and Tired"
I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for when I was doing my National Service, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; Muslims burning schools for girls; Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and Madrasa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..
I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and their children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in. There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.
“I’m 83 and I'm tired. If you don't agree you are part of the problem!

Naming Your Child

In Iceland they have a Personal Names Register. Its a list of names approved by the government. When new parents go to name their child they have to choose a name off of this list. A list of  1,712 male names and 1,853 female names that fit Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules and that officials maintain will protect children from embarrassment. If the don't choose one off of this list then they have to get approval. 

There is a girl who is fighting to use the name her mother game her. The government said no on the approval because it takes a masculine article.  Her mother didn't know it wasn't on the list until the priest who baptized her baby that he had mistakenly allowed it.

 I think its a great idea though. It has its cons but I am all for it. 

I sound outrageous right? WRONG! How many times have you asked someone about their baby "Oh they're so cute/adorable, whats his/her name?" And they tell you some ridiculous name that make you want to fall to the ground with laughter? Or you heard their name and you think to yourself "How the hell do you spell that?".

I have gone to school with some people whose names make me question how much their parents actually loved them.

 Naomi for example, we all know because of the movie Van Wilder is "I Moan" backwards. Now really, after hearing that, and knowing how many people have seen that movie, why would you name your child Naomi?

Think of all of the people who have named their kids after cars, cities, seasons,months or names that require extra thought because their parents cant spell? 

For Example:
Bentley
Aston
Camry
Mercedes
Lexus
May
April
Summer
Autumn
Paris
Dallas
Orlando
Charlotte
Jordan
Juno
Sydney
Austin
Rebekah
Julliette
Hilary (supposed to be Hillary)


Then think of the names that are easy to make fun of. Do you really want your kid teased their whole life? There was a girl i graduated with who couldn't have her whole name said at graduation because everyone(including me) made fun of it. I found out that their was actually a big upset with her parents complaining to the school about it when she started High School Because the teasing was so bad. SERIOUSLY?? Maybe you should have thought twice about what you named your kid! Or your child should have learned to stand up for herself!

Don't get your panties in a twist, I'm not bashing you for the name you chose for your child, or your parents for naming you what they did, I'm merely bringing up a subject no one talks about or brings up.  I Think the idea of having an approved list of names is a great idea. I think it would eliminate the amount of stupidity new parents show when they name their child a traditional name and have it spelled in a manner that not even their Foreign Language teacher let alone their English teachers can pronounce it. It prevents parents from naming their kids after things they don't have, or the place, month, or season they were conceived. It also prevents kids from being teased about their name. 

Im not saying it will stop bullying, because lets face it, even if your child has a "normal" name or even a biblical name, if the bully at school can bully your kid, then its gonna happen. But why give them anymore reason to?


(Btw the Icelandic girl did get to keep her name, and legally go by her name, rather than being called "Girl"..the story is here:Blaer From Iceland

Wall-E...Prediction??

Everyone i know has seen the movie Wall-E by Disney.

For those who haven't, its about an old robot who is on earth. This new age robot comes along because its searching for life, and finds a plant. humans are in space because the earth has become unable to support life.  the plant is the proof that they humans can go back to earth and restart and whatever. While the humans are in space they become fat,lazy and dependent on the technology within the space ship. I won't ruin the ending for you but the technology that runs the space ship turn on the humans and it gets really dramatic. Great family film though, I recommend it.

ANYWAY....point is:
Humans become obese, lazy and dependent on technology for everything...sound familiar??

I think wall-e is a prediction. I think one day the whole world will be filled with people who are obese,lazy and dependent on technology to the point that they will become completely ignorant and unable to care for themselves.


Don't think so?

(I'm only going to go into the technology bit of it, we all see the obesity and laziness everyday.)

Think about this...when was the last time you looked at a clock? no not your phone or the computer but an actual clock, you know the one with numbers 1-12 on it? the one that has 2 different hands on it? when?

I cant remember, maybe in school, or in a game i played once.

When was the last time you counted out change? sounds like a dumb question but many people cant even count change! want an example? read this :Mcdonalds employee cant count change.

I wasn't surprised. where you?

Think about the last phone call you made. It was most likely from your cell phone. right?
anyone remember having to use the house phone?

 i remember when it was the only phone, and if mom was on the phone, good luck getting on it.

Keep thinking about that phone call. If the person you called, wasn't in your contacts would you still be able to dial their number? Anyone remember having to actually write down your number to give it to someone?

Instead its, "here put your number in my phone" or "oh ill just put your number in my phone". Oh no i remember losing the piece of paper that had my crush's number on it and not being able to call him.

How about the last time you had to do a research paper? or you didn't know the definition of a word?

Now all you have to do is use the internet, Google, Bing etc. Who remembers having to use books? or an actual dictionary?

I do.

Now I'll admit, I use technology on a regular basis, literally every day. But i can also count change without asking for help. I can read a clock without having to count in my head or ask anyone else what time it is. I don't need my phone to remember phone numbers.

Where will we be in the next 20 yrs? How dependent on technology will we be? will our kids be?

I hated when my mom would limit my use of the computer, or the phone. Telling me and my brother to go play outside, don't come back till the street lights come on. But now looking back, i have to thank her. I'm glad I'm not completely dependent on my phone, or the computer, or digital clocks.

Sadly not everyone has that luxury.

Gun Control, Public Hearing

Everyone involved in the gun control debate, or who has an opinion, or even those who chose to stay out of the debates needs to watch this video.




Newtown Connecticut resident Bill Stevens testifies about his own priorities when it comes to the defense of his family. 

Half Time

Well, as everyone I'm sure is aware, the Super Bowl was yesterday.

 The Super Bowl and I have always had problems. When i was little it usually fell on my birthday, or the day or my party.

 Many people would tell my mom that they would not show up unless the game was on, and my cake and other kid stuff had to be done at half time. for a 5 yr old, or younger that is not really nice or appropriate for the adults to be saying.

Just my opinion, i could be wrong.

Now many watch for the commercials, or for the half time show. I have to say i was disappointed by the commercials. Not one stood out to me or made any difference to stand apart from every other commercial that's run every other say of the year.

The half time show was a joke. It was not Super Bowl worthy. Not the mention the fact that it was Beyonce. I have officially sworn off Beyonce forever.

I don't care how many awards she wins, how many fucked up names she gives her children, I just simply don't care.

She should be ASHAMED!!

The fact that she lip singed the National Anthem is enough for me to say fuck her.

What American in their right mind, lip sings the National Anthem????

What American would continue to support her? Or her "music"??

She is an artist not a musician, don't start with that crap. She doesn't do anything but sing and then audio adjust everything else to create hits, its not raw talent.

If you disagree...well...good for you.

Her performance at the Super Bowl was not up to Par. It didn't wow anyone but Beyonce fans.

I went to a family friends house to watch the game. There were at least 10 other people there and i can promise you no one was impressed. Some might have recapped on some of her old music, or hear a song she performed and forgotten that it was her song.

Other than that, 90% of the people there took that time to refill or top off their drinks, step outside to get a cigarette, or even both.

As soon as her performance was over, multiple people asked:
"I wonder if she lip singed that just like she lip singed the National Anthem?"

I hope everyone had a fun, safe Super Bowl. I know I did.

I do have to say, I do feel a little odd knowing i left early and didn't watch to see who actually won the game. :P

Combat Arms&Sticks&Stones(Explicit Language)

so i was becoming addicted to this game right..Combat Arms..FPS online game..

today i had the realization that all online games are the same. There is always those few people who are either under the age of 14 or over the age of 25 who take it so seriously and always have to talk shit.

 i don't mean the usual insults of how bad u suck at this game but insults about how you were raised and how u should go fuck your mom or my personal favorite, the racial stabs. i honestly don't care.

I'm white Indian and Mexican  Telling me to go back to were i came from makes me laugh. I was born in California! I'm an AMERICAN! lol If we are going to get all up the ass about race and where we came from then everyone needs to leave but the Native Americans  They were here first. we all just kinda came in and took over.

i know i suck at the game. I play for fun and to pass the time. I play cause i like to shoot stuff and Yayo likes that i play.

These immature children or adults, say things like, i should go fuck my mother(they think im a guy), or that they are gonna come murder me, or that they are going to go fuck my mother and kill my father.

ummm ok?

my dad is the last person you would want to try to kill. Ex military, and sometimes bordering the insanity line, and isn't afraid to cause harm or use weapons if necessary.

My mom, she is a respectful woman who is polite to everyone. But don't underestimate her. She can go from lady to ghetto bitch in 2.5 seconds. and she isn't afraid to stand up for herself.

As for me, throwing out the racial terms and about how i'm a cunt,bitch,dumb,beaner,illegal or stupid..doesn't do anything to me. I know i am intelligent and have an education. I know i suck at the game and i know that it takes a special kind of person to think that the insults make them cooler.

 The insults make me laugh. I think its sad that no one can come up with anything original. All of the insults used, i have heard since elementary school.

Once the stabs and name calling started i started trolling. "Well that lacked creativity, try again. I'll wait".

You also know you have won an argument when they start correcting your grammar or your spelling. XD

I mean how sad.

So anyway. I wrote this whole blog just to let the world know that i find insults hilarious. Nothing like shugging a shoulder and knowing that it doesn't matter.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me unless i give the words power.

5yr old terrorist

A 5 year old girl was suspended from kindergarten for telling a classmate she was going to shoot her with a toy gun. The Mount Carmel Area Elementary School suspended the girl for 10 days for making a "terroristic threat". the punishment was later reduced to 2 days suspension. The girls family has hired a lawyer and is fighting the suspension. The article then asks, in wake of the Sandy Hook shooting is the schools reaction appropriate or does the suspension  go to far?

The "gun" this little girl was "threatening" with is a plastic Hello Kitty gun that shoots bubbles. Thats right Bubbles. In my opinion the suspension is going to far. The girl is 5 years old and most likely doesnt even understand the concept of shooting someone to harm them. Most 5 year olds have trouble understanding death let alone harmful actions. 

At that age kids are still learning about all of that. They are learning about how their actions and feelings affect other people. Learning how to use their words and be kind with their words. 

I highly doubt the student she "threatened" was all broken up about it, crying to a teacher that this little girl threatened her with a gun, or was going to shoot her. In elementary school kids play game where they shoot each other all the time, no harm no foul. No one actually gets shot, or hurt or killed.

The school over reacted and blow things out of proportion. I could see them calling her parents and voicing their concerns in light of the Sandy Hook shooting and how her behavior or words were inappropriate. Sitting the girl down and talking to her about it. Not suspending her.

I threatened a girl in school once. I was in Junior High in California. I didn't even directly threaten this girl. I was in the locker room and stated that i wanted to shoot her (i didn't even say a name) in the face for every one of her freckles.(she had a lot of freckles). One of my friends who happened to be a mutual friend over heard me and asked who. I told her who. The next day i was called into the vice principles office and was suspended for a day,given 2 weeks detention,and i had to write the girl an apology. The girl who over heard me went home and told her mother what i said and she called the girls mother who then called the school and threw a fit. 

Thats at the age of 13 that i was suspended a day and given detention, and the written apology. This little girl is 5 and she was suspended longer than i was. 

Is this really what the world is coming to? that we are going to push kids who play shooting games? 

What next? Are we going to stop manufacturing gun toys? water guns? super soakers? paint ball guns? bubble guns? suction cup dart guns?

We all just need to calm down with the gun thing. The girl was 5. Give her a break.

National Anthem Gone Wrong

Our national anthem, its not a pop single, its not an American Idol/X Factor or any other shows audition. Its our National Anthem.

Why is it that 90% of the people who are famous or have a music career feel the need to make the anthem their own. Add a little flair and what not.

ITS NOT YOUR SONG! 

You're not supposed to add a little of your ow flair to it. Your not supposed t stretch out the notes and do a bobble of notes, or slide up and down the notes or add your little bit of character to it which honestly just sounds like whining.

There are exceptions  there is a way to add your own flair without taking away the whole song, there's a way to add a sprinkle of your flair to the anthem without it sounding like your auditioning, or recording your new single.

When someone sings the National Anthem(especially when its televised), it should be sung with passion and feeling but not take so far off the path that everyone is thinking "Oh my god, he/she murdered/butchered it". Our veterans shouldn't cringe hearing the anthem. 

My dad is a veteran, my family is a military family. We have a certain expectation of how our National Anthem should be done.

I'm sorry and the presidential inauguration  the only reason Beyonce sang was because she is black. Our president is black. Do you see the pattern?

If you sing the National Anthem correctly it causes chills, goosebumps, and a sudden rush of pride in your country. When its done right i can feel my heart in my chest, i get chills down my spine i get covered in goosebumps and i want to drape myself in an american flag running through the streets screaming at the top of my lungs that I'm proud to be an American.

In my opinion some of the best National Anthems ever done include:

May not be out anthem but its a national anthem done RIGHT!!!

Am I Getting Old??

While out on date night last night i have come to the conclusion that i am getting old. Maybe not old and decrepit, but older than i once was. I came to this conclusion while at the movies. Seeing the difference in how i used to be over how i am now. I'm not the only one who came to this conclusion, only for guys its not a "getting older" thing its just that they have changed over the years. I'll explain.

Once we arrived at the theatre we got out tickets and our popcorn and drinks and went into our designated theatre after hearing the speech about how if he leave the theatre without our tickets we wont be aloud back in etc etc blah blah. We didn't get there late, we got there early. I always add time to the "start time" so it ends up later than advertised. I account the time for previews and stuff(which i must say, the previews time sure has shortened). We like to sit in the top row off to the left side(while facing the screen left side), and in the corner. We arrived and took our seats, not knowing we were going to see a pre-show within the audience before the movie started.

As we watched the theatre gradually fill up we saw a few different things. There were the uptight Hispanic girls in from of us, the over cocky Hispanic guys in front of them, the soccer team and their coaches, the obviously loud and easily annoyed black lady(didn't see her but heard her), and lastly the happy to fussy baby.

When we sat down there was this group of Hispanic guys, Id say they were in High School but im not sure which grade. Maybe sophmore or junior. They sat with their feet up on the chairs in front of them, throwing popcorn amongst themselves until a group of girls walks in. (those girls sat a few rows down from those guys on the opposite side of the theatre)

The group of Hispanic girls that came in Sat in the row directly in front of us. Now I wont lie, I am a very jealous girlfriend. I'll admit it I am. I didn't realize how much until this group of girls each took a turn turning around and looking at us(mostly at Yayo) with their "Oh i didn't know anyone was behind us" look. Then as their looks had begun to dissolve the girl sitting directly in front of me turns around and either gave me a mean ass bitch look or that was just how her face is on a regular basis. This group also felt the need to be photographers. Oh yes at the movies, they became photographers. Whether it was with their phone, or their friends phone, and yes folks even a camera or two they took about 20 pictures on each device. Now for every picture they took that blinded me half way i started to think about when Laina and i would go to the movies all the time. We would take pictures a little above our heads, especially if there was someone cute sitting behind us(Yes i'm jealous enough to think that's what was happening). They laughed and talked about the group of Hispanic guys sitting a row in front of them. They guys must have been listening because in unison as id they rehearsed they all jumped down a row of seats, and again in unison the girls all put their feet up on the chairs in front of them. Then we heard the conversation started by one girl asking her friend what time she had to be home. She said 9, and the movie started at 7:30 and was an hour and 40 minutes long. Good luck on meeting that curfew. Reminded me of when i was younger.

As the theatre began to get full a bigger group of about 20 girls all show up. They were very loud as they entered the theatre, talking about how they wanted to sit along the top row. They ended up about half way up and in the middle. After they scrambled to find their seats and decide who was sitting by who they began conversations amongst the groups of other people their age. About 5 minutes later their coaches arrive. An average looking female soccer coach, blonde in comfy looking wind pants and a soccer hoodie. The male coach followed her in, an average height white guy with a mister clean hair style. He looked like ex military but i could be wrong. She seemed as though she would rather be anywhere but there and he was having fun with it and cracked a few jokes here and there that made who ever heard it laugh.

The annoyed black girl didn't have any ones attention until the movie was starting and the audience was still in a medium roar of conversation and giggles. Once the movie started you began to hear the different ways to tell a group of people to hush up or be quiet. Don't start with the racial crap. Everyone know the loud black chick at the movies when you hear her. She was very persistent throughout the entire movie on shhh-ing people and making it known she wanted them quiet.

Throughout this movie, a great movie i'd say, the parts that scared people caused massive screams, and then laughter. I'm not sure why they laugh. Are they laughing at themselves for being scared enough to scream? Either way once the laughing began the loud black lady right on cue began shh-ing people and the be quiets began. All fine and dandy.

Towards the end of the movie, the last 20 minutes or so, you heard a baby. A BABY! Now my first question is, who in their right mind brings a baby to a movie like that? First we heard the coos and baby noises. Not to loud or continuous just a noise here and there. But once the baby started getting fussy, there was a problem. I don't like having kids get fussy and half crying or full on cry while im at the movies. I was a little aggitated when the parents of this fussy baby didn't leave, they waited out the last 30 min. Don't stay in a theatre if you baby is fussing and Don't bring your baby to a movie like that.

Being at that movie and seeing the high school girls and the high school guys, the young kids there with chaperone and the kids there that were not going to meet their curfews, made me think about how long ago i was in their place. I realized how annoying i was at that age, and how dumb i feel knowing i was like that once. But then i start to think about ten years from now, it will be ever weirder. Am i getting old? things have changed so much and some things haven't changed at all. Maybe I am getting old, but i don't feel old. Maybe its just the changes that make me feel that way.

Seriously Annoying

This is what i see as i scroll through my newsfeed on Facebook, and I'm annoyed to no extent. Am i supposed to be all bothered and concerned about that one American? Well, I don't care. I'm not bothered and I'm not surprised.

As an American i have to say that our leaders are fucking ignorant. Yes, i said it. I don't care about the dead American and I think our leaders are fuckin ignorant.

Over the last however many years we have heard and seen on the news all these different stories of Americans being killed, taken hostage, imprisoned and worse in all kinds of foreign countries. What no one ever makes clear, or states is that those countries HATE US.

They dont care is you are black, white, brown or purple with stripes. If you are an American then they hate you. Why do you think there are so many stories about it? They want us dead.

Every country we have been to in the last 10 years hates us. All the countries we are "helping", hate us. They don't want our help, if they did would they have attacked the embassy? Would they be killing or imprisoning tourists?

We,as a country need to stop focusing on "helping" these other countries that obviously don't want our help, and focus on helping ourselves!

Think about every problem our country is having. The economy,the 2nd amendment crap thats going on, the possible re-election of Obama, Obamacare, etc etc. Why are we not fixing our own problems first?

You cannot help those who cannot help themselves!
You cannot help those that do no want your help!

Ill step off my soap box now.

Sunny Beaches

I don't care about the screaming children kicking up sand, trying to bury their younger siblings while their mother screams to be careful. I don't care about the over weight people in their overly loud Hawaiian shirts, or the clothing they attempt t squeeze themselves into that are obviously over 2 sizes too small. I don't care about the young puppy love  couple who can't keep their hands off of each other to the extent tat most people would bet money they might "do it" on the beach in front of God and everybody.

When I go to the beach I don't focus on the people who are on the beach, I can just watch the waves, feel the breeze, listen to the waves crashing into the pier, the splashing from the kids, the laughter of pure happiness.

I have never been to the sunny beaches in Texas.

I have bee told about it, but never been to it.

I was told:
-the water isn't blue, its brown
-you can't surf
-if you go into the water deep enough you will get a ta line from where the water hits

All of these things, less than appealing.

I know, I'm being biased because I'm from California, and I grew up with those sunny beaches but, I don't care. I have never been to the beaches in Texas. I am not emotionally prepared to deal with the lack of amazement.

The beach was never just a beach. The beach has always been a place of tranquility, sanity, and peace.

I miss the beach, i miss feeling like there was nothing else in the world but the wonderful beach, the relaxing breezes and me.

Maybe, the sunny beaches here in Texas won't be that bad....Hopefully...

Bone To Pick

I have a definite bone to pick.  I am what you would call a movie junkie or addict. I love watching movies, talking about movies etc. However i would never want to be in a movie. I can and will admit i have no talent for acting, and I would not meet up to the "Hot Actress" standard.

Then I think, well in today's movie world, you don't even have to have talent to be in movies.

I don't think Megan Fox is a good actress. I think she is famous because she is an average actress who happens to be hot. Now a days i think that's all it takes. As long as the actress or "wannabe" is hot, and catches the eye of many male viewers then it doesn't matter if she is a horrible actress or if the movie is horrible.

Many men will defend that the movie is good, or "she is a great actress". Come on, really? really? The only reason anybody with a penis watched "Bring It On" or "I Love You Beth Cooper" was because of the actresses, not the movie itself or the story line, just the actresses.

I boldly stated above that I don't think Megan Fox is a good actress, and I stand by that. Why was she famous to begin with? She was in transformers, a supportive roll. She became popular because she was the "hot" chick from the movie. In my opinion she doesn't look unique or anything. Average chick.

Today there are many good looking actresses who suck at their jobs. I don't know if i could name 10 actresses under 25 who are gorgeous/hot and talented.

Can you?

I can name a few actresses who i think are gorgeous/hot and talented but none of them are under 25.

Not in specific order:

Kate Beckinsale
Hedy Lamarr
Nicole Kidman
Claudette Colbert
Charlize Theron
Barbara Stanwyck
Marisa Tomei
Maggie Q
Rachel Weisz
Lana Turner
Rachel McAdams
Salma Hayek
Bette Davis


Maybe I'm too critical but I don't think the actresses such as Megan Fox and many others who are hot and untalented deserve the recognition they get, or the fame and fortune they get. Maybe they should put some of that fortune to use, go to some acting classes or something.

Another Shooting&More Gun BS

A month after the Sandy Hook Shooting there have been other shootings around the country that have taken place.The Sandy Hook shooting was ripped apart in This Video, it showed all the inconsistencies and the "coincidence" that went on.

This past Thursday,January 10th, at  Taft Union High School in California there was another shooting. A student entered the school with his brothers shotgun with ammo in his pockets. Its reported he targeted 2 students in particular. Do you want to guess why? Because they bullied him. 

Staff on campus, a teacher and a staffer, were able to talk the student down, and he put the gun down and surrendered. 1 student is in critical condition and was airlifted, and 2 more were injured.

This is a direct quote from The Article About The Shooting:

President Obama has called for the creation of a task force, led by Vice President Joe Biden, to look at ways to prevent gun violence. The vice president is expected to present his findings by next Tuesday.

Again the government is looking at this as gun violence. This isn't gun violence. This is an emotional high school student who was bullied to the point where he wanted to shoot the bullies, not gun violence.  

Have you ever been bullied? Have you ever been bullied so much that you actually thought about shooting the bully? Plenty of us have. In high school everybody made somebodies life a living hell. I know for a fact there are a few people when i was in high school who wanted to shoot me, one to this day still wants to.

I would almost like to bet money that this shot gun having student is going to have some sort of mental illness or was off his meds. That's how things have been going with this tirade of gun violence events occurring everywhere.

Some unstable person off of their meds gets a gun and goes shooting up schools, then Obama steps in and says its gun violence.

Obama pull your head out of your ass, its not gun violence.

Does anyone actually know how long or how hard the process is in California to get a shot gun legally?

I know someone, in California, with an illegal shot gun.

 It doesn't matter how hard the legal process it, or how long it takes. It doesn't matter how many laws you pass or how many obstacles you throw in front of people who are wanting a firearm, there will always be people with illegal firearms.

By making these laws, and difficult processes you are doing nothing but making it easier for the innocent law abiding citizens to get hurt or killed.

How long has Meth or Heroin been illegal?
Yet everyday there are millions of people dying from using. They are checking into rehabs or relapsing.

How about Marijuana?
Been illegal for a long time. Yet how many people are in jail for possession of marijuana?

Has our government just decided to walk around with its eyes closed? what puppet master is controlling this idiotic president we have?

Making something illegal or nearly impossible to get doesn't make it go away, or make the problems they cause go away. It makes them worse. It makes people more secretive to get it.

It didn't work with drugs, what makes anyone think that it will work with guns?

Can You Say Awkward??

OK, so my boyfriend Yayo, the amazing man that he is, had asked about all of these different places to eat, and if i had ever been there. Being a native California girl, and not a girl who had ventured to many different places( I like what I like and I usually stick to it), he has taken me to Cheddars (I'm in love with their Alfredo),Texas Road House(he was shocked I had never been there), and Tequilas(not my cup of tea).

 Yesterday he decided that we were going somewhere new. He took me to Tokyo's. Now, I will admit I have never been a big seafood person, fish, crab, shrimp etc. My seafood range was fish sticks(which im not sure is actually fish), tuna(from a can), and whatever smoked and fried fish my soccer team made once a season out at the fields, but i was open to trying new things. 

I have been developing a liking for shrimp since we went to eat at his mom's house and she made this spicy shrimp with rice.

When we get there, and walk through the doors, I look around,not only to see what it looks like but to locate restrooms as well(that's important). They ask, table or Grill? I was confused but Yayo replied with Grill. I follow him over to our seats at this grill. I thought it was cool because i knew there was going to be fire and stuff going on when the food was made. 

After giving our drink orders this couple comes in and sits across from us. A thinner white guy(yes i said white, its my blog i don't have to be politically correct if i don't want to) whose eyes seems to never focus in one place. Not to mention he came in with his hat on and didn't take it off once he was indoors. Maybe he didn't know better but i was always taught it was disrespectful to leave your hat on when you were indoors, especially at the table eating. This man was accompanied by his "big boned" wife and their baby(maybe 6-8 months old). 

Now, your probably wondering, why would that be awkward? Well, when you have 2 strangers sitting on the other side of a grill who are facing you, and you don't know them? it gets awkward. I didn't even want to look up at all. I didn't want to make eye contact with these people for an array of reasons.

I don;t want to create some jealousy scene, "Why where you looking at her?" from their side of the table. "Oh I saw you looking at him." from my side of the table. I wasn't going to create some clustermuck of ridiculousness. NO WAY! or "Why where you looking at him?" from my side. It just seemed like a problem waiting to erupt. Maybe I was being a little over cautious but I don't think so. I thought it was weird that we were all trying to avoid looking at each other and trying to not make eye contact.

So i sat angled towards Yayo, and talked with him, even at times I'm pretty sure he would have preferred silence. As i got my order of Spider Rolls, and California Rolls I was Excited. I know i like California Rolls, and the Spider Rolls were something new to try. Yayo had me try his Crunch Rolls and his Teriyaki (yes its spelled wrong..i think) steak looking thing.(it wasn't fish, but I'm not sure if it was steak, I kinda spaced when he ordered). 

I have to say everything but the Spider Rolls, was delicious. They were not my thing i guess. Oh and i almost forgot. After getting my rolls and Yayo got his food, i attempted to just bite one of my rolls, not a good idea, as  let it fall back onto my place it landed on the tiny pile of green stuff. Now, I don't know what its called, i just know if you want to clear your sinuses, or have a wish to never feel your face again you don't eat a lot or any of it. I however didn't realize it had landed on it until after i had tried to eat the Spider Roll again. My tongue started to burn, and felt like i have recently eaten pop rocks. NO FUN!!

But all in all, I liked the food, and i liked that Yayo took me for no real reason.<3

hopefully next time we go out, we don't get caught in that kind of awkward situation. :P

Prostitutes Further Education for World Cup

Huffington Post reports, Brazilian prostitues are learning English to prepare for major soccer events. Prostitutes in one of Brazil's biggest cities, Sao Paulo, are beginning to sign up for free English classes ahead of this year's Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup.

 Prostitution is legal in Brazil. 

Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes in the city of Belo Horizonte, says that its important for the women to learn English, they need to know what turns their clients on and to let their clients know how much they charge. 

The association is currently looking for volunteers to teach these classes. They wont have any problem with that. Vieira has already stated that there are already several volunteer psychologists and doctors helping them. They are now thinking about adding free French and Italian classes as well.

I say more power to them. If they are going to sign up for an 8 month course to learn a different language so they can be better at their jobs, good for them. That is dedication to the job if you ask me. They are furthering their education, and expanding their language abilities. 

In the US it will be a big deal because it prostitutes but who cares? The only reason the story wont be all over the news is because the women are preparing for soccer events. In the US soccer is not a main priority, they'd rather suffocate us with basketball.  I think its great that they are volunteering to learn English. Good for them. I applaud the effort.

Now any English speaking person that decides to go to Brazil for the Confederations Cup or the World cup (or both) wont have to ask a translator or use a translator to get some nookie while they are there. Cross your fingers, French and Italian speakers might get the same pleasure!
