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.

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.

Twitter for Dummies

Many people out there either have a Twitter and are on it like white on rice, others may have one but never get on it(usually they just link their Facebook with it).

For those that don't have Twitter, or have it and don't use it. Twitter is just a faster version on Facebook.
 Instead of "Likes" its "Favorites" and instead of "Sharing" its "Retweet".

On Facebook we "Tag" People in our posts, and pictures, well on Twitter you just put "@" in front of their username and it pretty much "tags" them in your tweet or "post".

On Facebook we "add" people to our friends list, which means they will show up in our "news feed" and we can see their profile etc etc. On Twitter its called "following". you can follow your friends, your favorite news channel, or your favorite musician(which if they started making music after the 90's they are not really musicians they are mostly artist or people who have more money than talent). Once you start following them they show up on your home page feed.

On twitter you can also create a "List" which is where you can pick certain people, or news channels and separate them from your regular feed. Its very helpful considering in a ten minute time period there could be 30 new tweets and you end up having to scroll forever to find who you were looking for.

Then of course there are the "Hash Tags" which to anyone who isn't brain dead its a damn number sign. For Twitter purposes it is just a way to categorize your tweet. you can search different hash tags to see what people are saying about that particular thing or subject. I'm writing this on a Wednesday so a "trending" hash tag is "#HappyHumpDay". All trending means is that its popular and that there are a lot of people talking about it.

AS for pictures on Twitter, you don't get to upload a million and two pictures to an album on your profile.. You get your profile picture. If you do upload a picture within your tweet it shows up as a twitter link and is then shown somewhere within your profile.

I hope this helps someone out there. I know plenty of people already know about twitter but i have been asked about some of the things above. Hope it was helpful :)
