Dear Robert...

2019-10-12T23:44:00.001-04:00

Dear Boyfriend,

Before I met you, I was fragile and torn apart. Quite frankly, I was torn apart and broken into a million little pieces which I thought could never be whole again. But, by the time I met you, my life was now starting to get back on track and the broken pieces were finding itself back together — some way, some how. And now, during the time that we have been together, it’s as though those pieces where never broken and I am happier than ever, so I want to thank you.

Thank You for the big things and even more importantly, for the smaller things — because those morning calls really set the tone for my day and I still get butterflies in my stomach when you hold my hand.

Thank You for accepting me — flaws and all because there is no better feeling than when someone sees you as perfect in their eyes.

Thank You for making time for me — because you’re never too busy to call, never too busy to text and never too busy for pizza night even when you have to wake up at 4:30am.

Thank You for being that person that I can trust.

Thank You for being honest — because sometimes I need it even when I don’t want it.

Thank You for being genuine — because who really has time for the fake crap anyway?

Thank You for not taking me for granted — because asking me about my day, or my opinions and always thinking about how I’d feel truly makes me feel appreciated.

Thank You for respecting me and our relationship — because you don’t give with the expectation of receiving but you give because you truly understand boundaries without me having to tell you what those boundaries are.

And lastly, thank you for being you — a patient, kind and intelligent soul who makes all of my days that much better. The skies are bluer with you, the trees are greener with you and my smiles are broader because of you. So thank you, for being that person who I cannot envision my life without.

Sincerely,

Your Forever Grateful Girlfriend

"You don't need to be Muslim to stand up for Gaza, you just need to be human"

On July 17, 2014, Israel launched a ground attack against Gaza. The cheering and excitement from the so-called “Christian” community could be heard around the world. Main Stream Media was soundly behind the attacks, talking endlessly in an attempt to justify the slaughter that would be the result. Never mind that there were thousands and thousands of Palestinian’s subject to that attack. And pay no attention to the fact that our government through successive administrations, has routinely stuck their noses into the business of numerous countries around the globe claiming human rights violations as the excuse. Yet they sit silent about the genocide of the Palestinians and send weapons, financial aid, even a few hundred nuclear bunker buster’s to Israel and publicly state that we support Israel.

I do not and will not support the genocide of any population, by anyone for any reason. I do not support any political party, church or religion that condones, encourages and revels in the genocide of any one, for any reason.

I am vehemently opposed to supporting the practice of genocide. I don’t care who is doing it. What they claim their reasons are, or what religion or political ideology they claim is validating their support.

Never mind that food, clean water, medical supplies and anything else of necessity had been withheld from the Palestinian people for years. Pay no attention to the fact that the Israeli’s had been given a parcel of land belonging to the Palestinian’s, and that subsequent to that gift, has launched more than 300 attacks against their neighboring countries in the 65 years or so since then. Don’t think about the fact that Israel isn't just this “tiny little piece of land”, but has instead, as a result of the ongoing aggression against its neighbors, become quite a large territory.

why i run: color vibe

2014-07-15T22:22:00.001-04:00

Sometimes you just gotta let loose, get together with some good friends, and have fun! That was the whole point of this run for me. I really wasn't sure what to expect going into a The Color Vibe Run. When I was describing it to people I felt a little stupid by saying that you dress in white and then people throw colored cornstarch at you. Doesn't that sound like fun?
I will let the pictures speak for themselves:

I would do this again in a heart beat!

Not knowing what to expect, I would have to say that it was so much more fun than I thought it would be. I had been looking forward to it, but I had no idea what a great time I would have. I'm sure it had something to do with the company I was with, but the music and the vibrant colors and acting like a kid again had to be the best part!

get your sh*t together.

1. Stop smoking, drinking, and using drugs.

Hell, I probably solved 90% of the world's problems right there. Give up these three habits, and you will be first class among People Who Have Their Shit Together. It will amaze you how much better you feel, how much money you have, and how much better your life will go if you give up booze, cigarettes, and the crack pipe. Some will say "moderation in all things," but I've never seen those people exercise any moderation when they say that. It is just a cop-out to keep doing what they are doing.

2. Get a job.

This advice alone probably solved about 6% of the rest of the problems in this country. Having a job means an income, a place to stay, social involvement, daily exercise, etc. People will claim that times are hard, but this is bullshit. There is always a job because there is always work to be done. When people say they can't find a job, what they really mean is they still have three months of unemployment left to collect, or they don't want to take some "menial" job that involves serving food or cutting grass. I'd be more ashamed of being a bum than being a burger flipper or a landscaper. Quit your excuse making and get a fucking job.

3. Spend less than you earn.

Cut up those credit cards and quit eating out. Pay off your debts. Open a savings account and put money in it. Simple math. Put away $100 a week, and you will have $5200 saved in a year. This will fully fund your IRA for the year and give you a big chunk left over. Bank your tax refund as well, and your money problems are over.

4. Eat healthy and exercise.

This is the one most people can't get straight in their lives. This is because we are programmed by biology to amass calories and conserve energy. Nature works. The answer is to stop eating high fat and high sugar foods. Eating healthy will not leave you hungry. Fad diets will. Just skip McDonald's and go to Subway. Have fruit instead of ice cream and cheesecake. As for exercise, walk for an hour per day. Last time I checked, this was free. The pounds will just drop off. You will have more energy. You don't need to eat like an Ethiopian or complete an Ironman to be healthy and in shape. Marginal changes in this area will produce massive results.

5. Dispose, clean, and organize.

Got a closet full of shit? Empty it. Desk full of clutter? Get a Hefty bag and throw that shit away. Storage rental full of shit you can't throw away? Rent a truck and haul it off to the dump. If you don't need it, then you don't need it.

6. Dump your piece of shit significant other.

Even if you get your shit together, other people in your life will cause you grief, and this is usually the person you share a bed with. Drug abuse can break up a relationship as well as money problems. Even becoming a runner can do this. If you have your shit together, you can't be with a person who doesn't have their shit together. It doesn't work. The disharmony will cause the whole thing to fly to pieces, and I can tell you from personal experience that you can't get someone else's shit together for them. They can tear your shit apart and almost certainly will if you stay with them. Get rid of them. Having your shit together and being alone is better than living in the shit with a fuck up.

That's it, folks. Five pieces of solid time tested advice. It is all very uncomplicated and basic. Your life won't be perfect because shit happens. But no one will ever say that it was your own damn fault, and that means a whole lot.

As for me, I'm still working on #1 of getting my shit together.

Santa's Demon

2012-12-09T13:02:00.002-05:00

Now available, from Extortion Merchandise Inc… Elf on the Shelf! This is the latest horrifying commercialization of Christmas -- a product you have to buy for your child or suffer the consequences, because all their friends have one. And if all your child’s friends DO have one, you will look like a big fat asshole for depriving your child of the opportunity to have a creepy stalker on-premises to spy on your child and report their every move back to the big boss at the North Pole. Don’t know how to parent? Can’t possibly control your kids without a miniature Chucky doll to keep them in line? Elf on the Shelf!

What kind of asshole merchandises such an awful product? A FUCKING MILLIONAIRE, that’s what kind. In my town, this dumbass product has spread like mouth herpes at a frat house party. In case you aren’t lucky enough to have been subject to this merry extortion, let me explain.

According to their website, Elf on the Shelf is “A Christmas Tradition is the very special tool that helps Santa know who to put on the Naughty and Nice list.” Firstly, nice fucking grammar, idiots. Secondly, the truth is, Elf on the Shelf is a hideously ugly little gremlin fucker that comes with a self-serving, spooky-ass story book. The book explains that the elf is your own personal stalker, who spies on your every move all day and flies to the North Pole to narc on you to Santa at night. When he returns and breaks into your house every morning, he is always in a different place. Is it just me or does that not sound like the plot of every homicidal doll movie? You turn around and the Chucky doll or ventriloquist dummy or carnivorous clown is leering at you from a new location in your house.

Creepy, right? I already own a Furby, which is spooky as shit, can’t I just have him stand guard on my son’s room and terrify him into behaving? Or wouldn’t a canine shock collar be more immediate? Or I could just try PARENTING, hmmmm... that's just crazy enough to work.

Here’s the funny part. At some point, all your kids friends will have them, they cost $30 each, but the kids think all they have to do is “make three wishes” and they get one. They don’t even know it’s a product for sale in stores at a bullshit price. What happens when your little angel sees this pricey mutant freak "on the shelf" at Target?? Hmmmm????

Between Santa and the Tooth Fairy, I feel like I tell my child enough bald-face lies throughout the year. You have to move the little assload around EVERY NIGHT or your children will think the elf and Santa FORGOT ABOUT HIM/HER because they are AWFUL CHILDREN. Glad you don’t have enough to do, parents.

Since the creator of this bullshit product is probably swimming in a drifting pool of finely powdered cocaine every night, he/she might want to think about how to continue to support the lifestyle they have undoubtedly become accustomed to. In the spirit of the chia pet, in which the creators “spun off” several different versions of the same lame piece of crap.

So, thanks to the pansy-ass parents in my life who wouldn't resist the trend, I had to sit my four-year old down today and explain to him that I wasn't going to allow the three wishes of doom, that having a stalker elf in the house was "Way creepy and gross" and furthermore, "That sounds like something only for really awful, naughty kids and you're a GOOD kid, you don't want some stalker elf spying on YOU, you're already getting great presents."

TVgasm !

Hoooly shit, the one and only episode of Toddlers & Tiaras that I saw a few months ago had so much to make fun of I actually needed migraine pills when I was done watching because the jokes came just that fast Thatswhatshesaid! Where to begin?

Well, we’re mostly in Georgia and folks, I weep for the future AND the present. You think Candy-Ass butchered the English language, THESE PEOPLE all needed captioning at one time or another (and I actually had to turn mine on because I couldn’t understand what half these toothless, blubbery hilljacks were saying to the camera.

But the best part of the show is Alana and her crazy-ass extreme couponing mother June. We meet them as they are throwing tons of paper towels and toilet-paper at each other, mostly because the quantity they have in their kitchen is smothering them. June says she extreme coupons to save money for pageants – hey, more power to ya. When you walk out of a store with $300 worth of stuff for twenty seven cents, that’s actually amazing. Of course, will you need 500 pounds of cumin? I’m not so sure.

If you love white trash like me, then I'm assuming that right now you're wearing a yellow t-shirt that used to be white and stained sweat shorts, and you just finished flossing your teeth with a toe nail that you chewed off with your own mouth. If this is the case, you're gross and I'm gross. Also, if this is the case, then watching TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo will make you feel like a sophisticated, refined and pristine royal dignitary. This trailer even makes the Cyruses look like the Middletons! This mess is The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia meets every episode of Maury meets the Gummi Bears meets the end of civilization.

Honey Boo Boo Chile introduces us to her 12-year-old sister Pumpkin, her 17-year-old knocked up sister Chickadee, her 15-year-old sister Chubbs, her 32-year-old mama and her 40-year-old daddy Sugar Bear. I would let out a bald eagle tear over Mama June being a grandma at 32, but I'm too mesmerized at the fact that her layers of saggy chins are only a few inches away from becoming one with her fupa.

Even with the subtitles, I don't know wtf they're saying. But I may piss myself tonight.

maybelline baby lips: yuck.

2012-04-12T15:18:00.001-04:00

After weeks of searching I found a store that had the Maybelline Baby Lips flavor I wanted. I didn't want any of the tinted balms because I like my lip balms clear. I have lip gloss to add color. The two plain flavors were Peppermint and Quenched. I wanted to find Quenched and trust me, I looked everywhere for it. Finally, I bought the last one at the Target on Route 22 in Union. I was so excited I ripped off the wrapping and immediately tried it out. If anyone has tried Nivea lip balm, I can compare it to that initially. Not as thick, has a greasier feel. Not greasy bad, just when I think of lip balm, I want it to stay. Greasier balms tend to wipe off and in this case that's just what happened. I loved the smell, taste, etc. but after a couple days of using this product I noticed a few things. One, I had to reapply A LOT. If I chewed gum, it was gone. If I had a snack, it was gone. So that was a little annoying, but then I noticed something worse. MY LIPS. In the warmer months, I barely use lip balm, but I always keep in on me. My lips were becoming as chapped as if it were the middle of winter. It was like the more applied the stuff, the worse my lips actually got. And what's really irritating is that this is supposed to be an 8 hour product. Try 8 minutes. Needless to say I know that a lot of people are raving about this product, but I will not be one of them. I'm going back to my Burt's Bees balm so I can repair the damage this has done. It's such a shame, I get so upset when a product isn't what it says it's going to be.

PUNCH BULLY: just another COVER band ?

2012-04-10T15:33:00.000-04:00

Made up of David Artiaga - Lead Vocals, Dave Cecconi - Guitar/Vocals, Josh Starner - Bass, Fausto Artiaga - Drums/Vocals, and Sami Eldebs - Guitar/Vocals Punch Bully is a dynamic cover band that has been rocking the NJ music since 2010. With their ability to deliver such high energy shows, a crazy set list, and their non-stop desire to make the next gig their greatest, it is no surprise Punch Bully has become one of NJ's most sought after cover bands. The word is spreading quickly that these guys will bring the party every single time they show up. The bars are always crowded and their following has continued to grow and prove this band is the real deal. Punch bully is a five piece band containing professional, talented musicians who love what they do. This is a great combination of musical talents who are extremely energetic and have played in all sorts of venues to all sorts of crowds.

I attribute their growing popularity by breaking away from the ordinary and using certain ‘X’ factors to separate them from others as a cover band. Their secret weapon is a vocalist/front man David Artiaga who is exceptional at reading crowds and playing to their strengths in order to lock them into the party and hold them until the last song ends. With their willingness to cater to all types of crowds and music; Punch Bully has created a completely outrageous set list which includes Rock, Dance, Rap, Pop, audience participation and yes, even some Oldies.

You just don’t see many bands go from rap to rock to oldies in a single set. These boys give it all they've got every time they hit the stage, and they only know one way to do it, FLAT OUT! The crowds are always crazy, and this band will keep you coming back again and again! Simply said, you can’t stand still!

Thank you to Pinterest for making me obsessed with this one look that I can't have. So I am bringing it to you, awesome followers. I don't care what the trend is or what anyone says the spring/summer look is lace skirts. I don't care what color it is. I want you to have them all !







And not just lace skirts, I'm also loving sequined skirts too !





And if you're not following me on Pinterest, well you should do that too http://pinterest.com/accordingtovera/

vera! vera! vera! by MAC

2012-04-02T13:19:00.001-04:00

Quick, before these beauties fly away…

MAC’s back with another inspired limited edition launch – Vera. This collection is based on the work of fabric and textile designer Vera Neumann. The American artist (who died at 86 in 1993) was known for brightly coloredlinens and scarves which were all signed “Vera” and featured her signature ladybug. Marilyn Monroe was said to be a fan; I think I would have been too.

But I’m going to keep the pontificating to a minimum and let the pics speak for themselves.

There’s that signature ladybug, debossed in a Pearlmatte Face Powders. That’s Sunday Afternoon, three shades of cool pinks (and a thin silver overspray accent) that when applied are a silvery pink. Adorable design, sweet color.

The stunner above is Butterfly Party, one of three Crushed Metallic Pigment Sets. And this 4 piece set has my head spinning with love. I mean, look at these colors!

Moss Garden is silvery slate green, with a chunky, glittery consistency.

Rain Drop is a bright teal with a hint of a golden sheen.

Desert Cloud is a beautiful metallic violet that has an electric sort of shimmer in the same shade. Really, it looks like it’s lit up! It’s on the glittery side too.

The namesake, Butterfly Party, is a red based purple with a lavender shimmer.

Now, I’d be lying if I said the Crushed Pigments were a breeze to apply. But I do think they’re worth the work. They have a chunky texture (like crushed gemstones) and a slightly wet feeling to them, which makes them less messy than loose pigments.

But they need to be either pressed into the skin or broken up first to apply. A simple swipe with a brush isn’t going to cut it. I actually like to break them up on the back of my hand with a brush and apply them from there. And you know, fingers also work pretty good with these.

The other pigment set i got a look at is Aloha, a coppery bunch that the warm-toned gang are going to love. This set has a noticeably finer consistency, as opposed to Butterfly Party.

Shifting Sands is a metallic nude pink.

Aloha is brown with a peachy hue to it. My notes say “buttery brown, yum!” Guess I liked it (or I was hungry).

Campfire is a copper with really beautiful dense pigment.

Lantern Light is all kinds of fabulous. In the pot it looks dark coppery orange, but when you put it on it’s this gorgeous golden peach. I was mesmerized by it!

I got to take a look at one of the two Nail Lacquers; Play Day. It’s a creamy apricot shade (MAC calls it milky coral, but this didn’t read as coral to me). It took three coats for me to get rid of most of the streaks, and they were still even there a bit.

Fashion Fanatic & On a Holiday

I’ve always been a Plushglass fan. I love their tingle. I dig the odd scent they have that I can’t quite place (they don’t smell like lipglass). So I’m always up for a new one. That’s On a Holiday on the left. Check out that iridescent violet micro glitter! It’s a bright-ish medium pink that applies sheer, but that glitter catches the light in really fun ways.

I also got a look at Fashion Fanatic, a light milky pink with silvery white shimmer.

from top: Lord It Up, Undercurrent, Black Swan

And boy, do I love me some Pearlglide Intense Liners! Buttery soft, they glide on like a dream and stay on until you take them off. It’s no coincidence that I already own two in this launch (Black Line and Undercurrent). They’ve got great pigment and are loaded with a pearl finish.

Lord It Up is a medium brown with gold pearl. It’s really similar to Teddy (which I go through like candy). Teddy has more of a bronze sheen though, and this is gold. Undercurrent is an intense teal with gold pearl. Black Swan is a deep charcoal with silvery charcoal pearl.

I love it ! Plus i mean i'm VERA the makeup is VERA perfect !

#doomsday are you ready ?

2012-04-02T11:44:00.002-04:00

where’s your survival emergency kit? do you even have one? do you think you’re ready an emergency? i know i’m not!

& unfortunately, none of us really know when disaster is going to strike! i don’t know about you, but i want to be prepared… you know what they say “better safe than sorry.”

i found an interesting article about “the power of 3.” basically it’s an emergency preparedness plan that focuses on the first 3 minutes, the first 3 hours, the first 3 days, the first 3 months, and even the first year after a disaster.

basically, it’s a baby steps approach to emergency preparedness. perfect for someone like me!

so, if you aren’t fully prepared for an emergency, i encourage you gather your own supplies, & together we can become “ready.” survival emergency kit {the first 3 hours}

* battery operated or solar powered am/fm emergency radio (with extra batteries)

* first-aid kit with adequate supplies, medications & personal need for each family member

* gas, water & electronic meter shut-off tools (secured to meters if possible)

* search & rescue equipment, such as: leveraging tools, rope, face masks, lantern/ flash light, loud whistle, duct tape, fire extinguisher

* “GO” binder (or small expandable file) that contains names, addresses, phone numbers & map for local/ out-of-state contacts & rendezvous locations. you should also include important document for each family member, such as: general family information (social security cards, passports, birth certificates, insurance cards, or proof of insurance, all insurance policy numbers, bank account numbers & vehicle ID numbers), spare keys, etc.

see… what did i tell you? pretty painless eh? you probably have most of these supplies already laying around your house. all you had to do, was gather them all together, so when an emergency strikes, you don’t have to go searching for them. now, when disaster strikes, you’ll be prepared for those first 3 minutes & the first 3 hours.

if you have ALLERGIES read this. seriously.

2012-04-01T22:12:00.001-04:00

For those of you who dread seeing those first spring blooms because of seasonal allergies, there may be some relief in sight local honey. Local honey is believed to prevent the symptoms of seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever. Drinking local honey may work much like an allergy shot in that it exposes you to small amounts of allergens to help your body build immunity to the allergens. When bees pollinate to make honey, they bring back allergens from the flowers, trees, and other plants. This leaves small traces of those allergens in their honey. Just like the doctor gives you small amounts of allergens when he or she gives you an allergy shot.

It is best to find raw honey that is as close to home as possible because it is far more likely to contain the same allergens that you are exposed to on a daily basis. You should also start drinking the honey in very small doses, just in case of an allergic reaction to the pollen that is in the raw honey. Gradually work your way up to about two teaspoons a day. This regimen should begin several months before the onset of allergy season. The honey should be raw, unpasteurized, and unheated for best results.

There are many other health benefits to drinking raw honey. It has been proven that raw honey has many antibiotic properties. For years, people have consumed it for nausea and gastritis. It is also known to prevent the formation of ulcers, and certain kinds of cancer. So, as you can see, trying raw local honey to treat your allergies certainly would not hurt, in fact, it could help you with a number of other ailments. The best part, there are virtually no side effects, unless you are allergic.

To find the most local honey, you may contact a local bee keeper or go to the next farmers market. Try to get the local honey that is closest to home. Immunizing yourself to allergens that you are never exposed to carries no benefits. It is also recommended that you don’t plant any plants that you know you are allergic to. To build immunity, you must be exposed in small doses. Large doses of allergens will only increase your likelihood of developing worse allergies to them.

Here is a list of local beekeepers http://www.njbeekeepers.org/BeeProducts.htm !

a midget ninja aka MINJA

2012-02-15T21:56:00.005-05:00

Look, it's a phobia, alright? It's not like I'm being racist -- midgets aren't a race! And I'm not prejudiced -- I don't think that we're inherently BETTER than midgets, I'm just SHIT FUCKING SCARED of them! I was attacked by them scared the SHIT out of me. It's just that they're so small and stuff, and I'm pretty sure that they're kind of hateful (I mean, seriously, wouldn't YOU be, if you were a midget?), and my REAL fear is that I won't see one coming and he'll pull a shiv and stick me and steal my money. Yes, I FEAR MIDGETS!

Now look, before I get flamed by the Midget Anti-Defamation League or the Friends of Dwarfs Society (and yes, I do realize that there's a difference between the two), I have to say that this is a LEGITIMATE MENTAL CONDITION. It's called (believe it or not) Lollypopguildophobia, or, more scientifically, Achondroplasiaphobia. Yes, I have achondrowhateverthefuckophobia.

Fucking midgets.

But hey, according to phobia-fear-release.com, a super-highly-advanced-ultimate-scientific website: "Midgets are dwarf people who have a sort of deformed stature and they look unusual and at times even frightening. Thus, when they stand before you, they make you feel awkward and at times uncomfortable – this is what this phobia all about is.

Symptoms:

Lollypopguildophobia/Achondroplasiaphobia is accompanied by several symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, feeling of sickness, vigorous palpitation of the heart, a fear that you may become mad or lose control, a sort of inability to utter words or think clearly. Other symptoms are occasional shaking, mouth becoming dry, lack of breath, a full blown anxiety attack and extreme perspiration.

Do not ever think that you are the only one having this phobia. Over 200,000 Americans suffer from this condition. There are lots of unspoken sufferers who know that they are afraid of the dwarfs but they do not want to confess their "condition"

So there you go. The word of SCIENTISTS. EXPERTS. And I agree with all the faulty findings and terrible grammar, except that I here confess my condition, because I no longer want to be a silent sufferer. I am tired of my extreme perspiration and fear that I might become mad when I think of midgets! Oh thank god, I feel so much better.

Thanks for listening.

the big mother f*cker welfare rant.

2012-02-09T21:14:00.000-05:00

This one is going to be a doozy, so please read the entire post before writing me a 10 page comment about your life story and how much of an asshole I am. If you still wish to write me a 10 page comment on how society forced you to get knocked up while on welfare, then I’ll give you a story how society FORCED ME to use rough 2-ply toilet paper to wipe my ass instead of the good soft stuff.

Oh, and for the record, “welfare” here means full blown don’t-have-to-work-all-inclusive aid. I’m not going to pick apart food-stamps but not free-housing or check, etc. I say government ticket, I mean the entire government ticket.

This is how I see the welfare system working:

Girl “falls in love” at the ripe age of 16, and through the magic of laziness, hormones, stupidity, and complete irresponsibility allows herself to get pregnant by some loser. The loser, taking parenting advice from rap stars and TV idols, leaves that bitch and moves on (“hey, don’t hate the playa, hate the game”). The mother, now single and with child, goes on the system to get assistance until she can finish school and get a job. At which point she gets off of the system and pulls herself up by her bootstraps and becomes a model mother and a productive member of society.

That above I have no problem paying for. Hell, believe it or not, that’s what the system was intended for! However this is what mostly will happen:

Girl above, when her child is 2 years old, finds another douchebag reject and through the magic of not-fucking-learning-the-first-time gets pregnant AGAIN. Repeat about 4 more times. Kids run out of control and tear my shelves apart, and she bitches at me because the Septra suspension for kid #5 is grape flavored and not cherry.

Let it be known herein and throughout the tubes of the Internet. If you are already on welfare, and you get pregnant again (ie: you already are established on the system and you spread your legs and accept seed again), you are the most irresponsible, stupid, waste of human skin on the planet. You are nothing more than a receptacle for some dude to keep his sausage warm and serve no use to us other than to leech away our money like a tick on the ass-end of society. Go and make porn flicks because your only mental and physical skill in life involves your mouth and between your legs.

It blows my mind how absolutely stupid someone can be to be on welfare (you know, implied that you cannot take care of yourself so the state has to take care of you) and bring another child into this world. Getting pregnant once is a freebie in my book, shit happens (though barely now that Plan-B is OTC). The second time however is 100% you’re-a-fucking-moron. The third one on is what-the-fuck-were-you-thinking (oh, you werent). Birth control is FREE! It just takes a bit of effort (ie: getting off of your ass) to get! Have they gotten the memo that welfare is not intended for living off of for your entire life? Did it ever occur to them that if the welfare system suddenly says “Uh, no more money for checks, so sorry!” they are completely and utterly fucked? Ugh, so retarded and so stupid.

Lets compare 2 irresponsible acts:
Spending your check on spinning rims instead of job-interview clothes: IRRESPONSIBLE
Bringing another human-being into this world when you are 100% reliant on the state to wipe your ass currently: REALLY-FUCKING-IRRESPONSIBLE

Usually if you cannot afford something; car, boat, whatever; it gets repo’d. YOU CANNOT DO THAT WITH A CHILD! Pregnancy isn’t some magical unknown event that just “happens”. Its as preventable as avoiding getting your car stolen by LOCKING IT, or avoiding wrecking your car by NOT RUNNING INTO WALLS. Which means that the only way these career welfare mothers are getting pregnant is out of sheer laziness and stupidity. Surprise surprise! Close your legs until you can afford to open them!

My solution, and one offered by other readers on here, is every 3 months, when you get your welfare paperwork reevaluated, you get a shot of Depot Provera. I don’t give a rats ass about side-effects, these people are already on the downward slide, so we’re doing damage control now. You want your check, you get your depot shot. You don’t want your birth control shot? Then I guess you get no check! The state pays for your life, the state gets to make the rules. In “real life” if my boss asks me to clean the toilets, then I clean the toilets. Know why? Because my job pays for my life, so my job gets to make the rules. I realize that the “job” part is a foreign concept, but just trust me on this one.

I know I’m going to get at least one comment by some idiot saying that “reproduction is a right”. Well, to them I say “Leave your gated community in your $60k SUV once in a while and open your fucking eyes. If they have a right to reproduce like fucking rabbits, then I have a right to not pay a fucking dime towards the product of their irresponsibility.” Seriously! Fuck and reproduce all you want, but don’t come to Uncle Sam asking for a double fist of government cheese.

So, I challenge you all to give me ONE DECENT point that refutes my belief that the woman who is on welfare and gets pregnant yet again is the most irresponsible person on the planet.

legalize the shit already...

2012-01-19T23:04:00.000-05:00

Well folks, I hate to tell you this but terrorism works. You can’t stop people willing to kill others without remorse until they get their way. You can’t compete with that. You’re fucked unless you can find a way to stop their money supply and I am referring to the drug cartels !

But how can you do that? How can you stop the money drug cartels use to buy guns, bullets, rocket launchers, grenades, policemen, judges, lawyers, and politicians?

Drug legalization.

That’s right you fucking pussies. Legalize marijuana, cocaine, heroin, LSD, ecstasy, and mushrooms. Every fucking drug the drug cartel sells should be legal. If grown men and women want to fuck up their health, let them. How can we tell someone how bad snorting cocaine off the back of a stripper’s ass is for their health, when we allow people to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol?

And why should we do this?

Because it takes money out of the drug cartels’ hands. Why would someone pay a creepy old guy hiding in the back of an ally $90 dollars for a quarter of weed when they could go to a well-lit grocery store and buy it for $55? Plus, the government could make money by taxing it. They could turn the nations largest cash crop into a multi-billion dollar industry that would help get us out of this recession/depression.

But it won’t happen. Why? Because the War on Drugs benefits rich white businessmen. State and federal prosecutors, trail lawyers, judges, private prisons, politicians, the DEA, the FBI, the CIA, state and local police. To many people make money off of this war for legalization to help.

They will use the money they’ve stolen to lobby Congress and the White House for tougher drug laws while placing their people on all the major news stations and have them say, “If drugs are made legal, it will be the end of America. People will be so high on PCP and crack cocaine that they’ll storm into your house and ass fuck your wife and daughter. If you don’t have a wife and daughter, they’ll ass fuck you and your son. They’ll ass fuck everybody in your goddamn house. Not even your fucking pets’ buttholes are safe from the ass fucking that’s going to take place in this country if drugs are made legal.”

So I want this shit to continue.

I want the shootouts to spill over into Texas and catch those fucking Minutemen in the cross fire and kill ‘em. I want the violence to spread into New Mexico, Arizona, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I want people to cry out to the federal government for help but can’t get any because our soldiers are to busy fightingoverseas in a stupid fucking war.

I want all of this shit to happen and I hope I get to watch it on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News while smoking some weed.

♥ LUSH Cosmetics

2012-01-17T23:41:00.000-05:00

A while ago my fabulous friend Priscilla recommended this website I ordered a bunch of stuff that I SWORE I was going to review but I LOVE all of it so here you go! LUSH Cosmetics has become one of my beauty staples and there are so many things I still want to try !

I'm LOVING Ro's Argan Body Conditioner; it's an amazing moisturizing lotion that you use just like hair conditioner, rub all over, rinse off, and pat dry! I love to use their bath bombs which smell great and help me relax.

The Latte Lip Tint is a moisturizing lip balm with a hint of coffee flavoring to give you a "pick me up" when you need it. This blend of almond oil, organic jojoba oil and Japan wax will give a moisturizing boost to your lips while still being light to wear.

There are SO many new products it would take me days to review them, you gotta go and see them for yourself! You won't leave LUSH empty handed. While you're there, check out the Dirty Soap, No Drought Dry Shampoo, Lustre Dusting Powder, and Henna Hair Dyes ^which i'm trying sometime next month review on this coming soon since it is a hair dye!^

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish StripsHave you ever heard of a Minx manicure? If you’ve ever seen a celebrity rockin an amazing design on their nails, beyond the 2 to 3 color designs we get from stamping, then it was probably a Minx manicure. Minx is a salon-only manicure process that involves taking a thin strip of flexible polymer that is heat activated and applied to your nails. Katy Perry and Beyonce are huge fans of Minx nails, but as you can imagine, the process is a bit pricey at about $50 per manicure.

Finally, we have an affordable at-home alternative to the Minx manicure. Sally Hansen has just released their Salon Effects Nail Strips and I am crazy about them! It’s different than Minx in that it is REAL nail polish that you simply press onto you nail, but it is similar in that you can get crazy cool perfect multi-colored designs. There are 24 options to choose from – if you’re not into nail art, they also offer solid colors and glitters, which I prefer over applying regular polish, as the process is super fast with no drying time and they lasts for about 10 days!

Pros

1. Only $9.95 per box (compared to a salon Minx manicure at $50)
2. Lasts until you remove it – no fading, chipping, or receeding at the edges
3. Zero drying time
4. Quick and fairly easy to apply – quicker than base coat, nail polish, design stamping, and top coat (you can do a top coat if you want it to last longer i suggest this makes it more shiny and i love me some shine!)
5. Easy to remove with nail polish remover as you would with any nail polish

I tried to think of some constructive criticism, but I came up with nothing. These nail strips are everything I look for in a manicure – unique designs, quick application, no drying time, and lasts forever. The only thing I could come up with is I’m ready for more design options asap :)

Here is the final result gave my little cousins a tiny manicure :)

haters "gonna" hate

2012-01-10T21:16:00.000-05:00

Note: This is a hateful article on hating. Is it acceptable, since I’m directing my hate for good? You tell me.

When you’re not happy with a situation what do you do? Talking about it can be a good start. You might call it complaining…But heck, complaining feels good. We’re all guilty of a good venting session now and then. In fact, it’s healthy to let your feelings out. But what happens when venting and complaining turns into a conversation about hate?

I can’t engage in conversation at the office without hearing someone talk shit about another person within the first few minutes. Myself included. So what’s with the open hating? Isn’t this the sort of thing we used to do behind closed doors and only to our closest and most precious friends?

Turning on the radio or reading the news has become a painful, mood killer. Every day people are going off on anyone who thinks differently than they do. As if an opinion on a matter has just become a religion that must be defended to the death.

Blame reality shows, tabloids or the internet, but it comes down to a personal choice. Saying something hateful for the sake of hating is only putting destruction into the world.

Can’t we agree to disagree? Silence is the best answer? The Golden Rule: If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all? Any of these ring a bell?

What happened to our class? If Snob was on one end of the spectrum and Evil Monkey was on the other, where do you think we would be?

All I’m saying, is there is an awful lot of hateful things being said, whether regarding politics, religion, or personal opinions on (fill in the blank). I’m not perfect. I can be a mean and hateful bitch. But I plan on making a conscious effort this year, starting today, to have a little class. To take the higher road. To understand that though I may not agree with others all the time, I can agree to disagree. There are enough haters hating on each other – let’s not add to the count.

why NEW YEAR resolutions suck !

2011-12-29T15:18:00.001-05:00

We all do it. We come to a new year with high hopes. We’re going to turn over a new year and take the world by storm – next year. Then, the year goes by. Perhaps there was a momentary burst in activity in January. The obligatory visits to the gym. Maybe write a few more blog posts than usual. But then it settles back into the status quo. Come December and – oh hum – life looks pretty much the same as it did last year. But, dammit, next year…. next year is going to ROCK! This time you mean it! Sound familiar?

The First Problem – Timing

It is completely unnecessary to wait until the calendar year changes over to make changes and do productive things in your life. So, why wait? Time is just a continuous stream of arbitrary nothingness. Seriously, time is really in the eye of the beholder. It is not a fixed quantity. And it keeps going. The fact that the calendar flips from December to January means nothing except for the significance we ourselves assign to it. With that in mind, why wait? If you want to accomplish things in life, for God sakes, don’t put it off until “next year”. Start now!

The Second Problem – Ourselves

When we make resolutions, it is just more shiznit on top of a pile of last year’s shiznit.

In other words, you made goals for yourself. Some of those goals may have failed, but they are still your goals. Here you come with a new year and more goals. Those new goals don’t overwrite the old goals. They just pile on. Yet, we know that those old goals failed. The new goals will probably fail too, right? You know what we say about people who commit the same mistakes over and over again and expect different results, right? That’s right – they’re crazy. So, why do so many people do this every year? Obviously, hoping isn’t enough. Something has to change.

In order to get something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done. Most people are apathetic about New Years Resolutions because of their past failures. And for those people, new years resolutions kinda suck. My viewpoint is that the answer to that is to change something. Do something you’ve never done.

The only person who can REALLY deny you something is yourself. Think about that for a moment. If somebody tells you you can’t do something, what power do they REALLY have? If you really think about it, you’ll find they have no power at all. The only power they have over you is that power you’ve GIVEN them.

So, don’t get reasonable. Take your power back. Do something different than you’ve ever done in order to get different results in 2012.

Next year, resolutions won’t suck. They’ll mean something.

♥ give me one good reason...

2011-11-14T14:02:00.000-05:00

What has Brady ever done to merit such loathing from fans? He has never been involved in any kind of scandal. Sure he has a baby mama aka Bridget Moynaha but it's not just hoodrats and gold diggers who know how to execute a perfect trap. He has never held an NFL team hostage deciding what he wants to do.

Is it just because he rich, good looking, has a supermodel wife, three Super Bowl rings, and wears UGGs (seriously have you ever been to BOSTON? it is wicked cold!). If Gisele told you to dye your hair purple, would you have any problems dousing your mane with Kool-Aid packets?

That's really the only thing I can think of. He is guilty of having good genes, and being the best at his job. That's not reason enough to dislike a person. It's reason enough to be jealous of a person, which most people probably are.

But to put him on the same level of dislike as Brett Favre, Michael Vick and Ben Roethlisberger is completely illogical. Those three have done something to sabotage their careers. Favre has held up franchises because he didn't know what he wanted to do. Vick was sent to prison for running an illegal dogfighting ring. Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault on a person.

Brady has never done anything like that. The only reason that people would dislike him is because they are jealous of him.

If I am wrong tell me why, but there is no logical reason Brady should be the third most disliked player in football.

9 reasons why people HATE the BIG BLUE

2011-11-14T12:52:00.000-05:00

Jesse, Isidro, & Danny tell that guy to go FUCK himself !

9. Eli Manning

He will never be his brother. He will always live in the shadow of the greatness of Peyton Manning. Yeah sure, both Mannings have a Super Bowl ring, and Eli received his a lot sooner than Peyton did, but when was the last time the Giants went 14-0 before losing a game, with Eli as their quarterback? And who currently owns almost every quarterback record in the history of the NFL?

8. Giants fans are front-runners

I can’t point the finger too much, because…well, yeah I can. You guys are pathetic! You’re front-runners! Most Giants fans are also Yankees fans — a team with players that are bought and paid for. If they’re having a strong season, “they’re unstoppable! They’re the greatest team on earth! They’re going to AND winning the Super Bowl this year!” Two weeks later, the second your team is down you should hear yourselves: “Tom Coughlin should be fired, Eli Manning sucks, you’ll never watch another Giants game again, the team is garbage…

7. The name New York "FOOTBALL" Giants is played out.

How is it that teams get these nicknames as if they’re “the shit?” Dallas is “America’s Team?!” Bullshit! And the New York Giants have to have “Football” incorporated between York and Giants, like it’s some kind of bad-ass nickname. It was probably added after the Cowboys were “America’s Team,” because Giants fans whined and cried out of jealousy, that “our team should be America’s Team!” You suck! Sit on it! Football Giants was created by Chris Berman, another self-important cretin who is probably a half-assed Giants fan, to boot.

6. You play in New Jersey.

This is a controversy that’s been ongoing for quite some time, now. How is it that New York continues to receive the credit of “ownership” for both the Jets and the Giants? Early in each teams’ history, I can see the relevance, as the Giants played at Yankees Stadium, and the Jets at Shea. But now, both teams have played in New Jersey for 34 years, and both teams’ front offices are headquartered in New Jersey. Hey New York, you already have your own team, and they’re in Buffalo! And they suck, too!

5. It’s always about revenge.

Everytime the Giants are about to play a team they lost to, because they absolutely SUCKED, I feel like I’ve stepped back into the wild, wild west, because with these assholes, it’s always about revenge. And the fans eat this shit up, too. But if an opposing team’s fan, beat writer, or player so much as sniffles something about the Giants, fan and players’ reactions fly off the Richter Scale. You know what’s going to be funny? When the revenge factor blows up in your stupid faces and you lose in a game where it’s all about revenge, and then listening to the Giants fans whining about how their team sucks and Coughlin should be fired.

4. The Giants…

It’s a ridiculous nickname. At least the Jets could claim that they’re based off the gang from West Side Story, and the way Rex Ryan runs that team (and his mouth), you’d think the Jets are some kind of street gang, whom an opposing team could — and should, legitimately fear. But the Giants are a team name based off of a fairytale character. Probably from Jack and the Beanstalk. I’ve never seen a Giant in my lifetime, and while there are some people who are cursed with Giant-ism, is it really appropriate to make fun of these people, by naming your team after them?

3. Big Blue

Another ridiculous nickname, considering all the other teams out there whose main color scheme is…BLUE! The Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams, Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and the Seattle Seahawks. 11 teams; half of which are probably better than your team, as it is! You have New York “FOOTBALL” Giants, be happy with that.

2. It’s okay for you to bust my chops…

But I’m not allowed to bust yours. The second I even come back at you, you get all uptight and are ready to throw down. “What you say? Come on, come say it to my face.” Hey, yo mama’s so fat…meh, nevermind. I hate making a Giants fan cry. Go screw!

1. You’re team is overrated, AGAIN!

The Giants were the most overrated team in the league after beating the New England Patriots in Week 9.
Seriously, I wanted to throw up hearing about Eli Manning being an elite cornerback because Kyle Arrington was playing like he was paid to throw that game. Now that the 49ers and their tough defense actually put up a fight against this Giants team, we see who they really are.

They are a bunch of cowards and fakes who can only step up against the worst defense in the league.

who am i ?

2011-11-02T20:59:00.000-04:00

i act like a vain and self-obsessed 13-year old. My dream was always to become a princess, but I became an anal porn star. My body is full of plastic surgery. The reason why my hair is beautiful is because its fake. I was also jealous of Paris Hilton and put out a SEX TAPE because she did. I idolized Paris Hilton. I used to hang on her like a koala bear all the time, to get my picture taken by the paparazzi. Until 2oo7 I did cocaine. I know there are pictures as proof, but I will deny it forever.

My pimp mother, Kris, fucked the pool boy while my father, Robert Kardashian, was at work. He was one of the lawyers that helped keep OJ Simpson out of jail after he killed Ron Goldman and his ex-wife Nicole. Anyway, the result was my pathetic half gorilla sister Khloe, who is a whore just like me.

Although I pretended to be upset by the sex tape, I was the one that sent it to Vivid Entertainment, and they paid me $5 million to expose my nasty self. I tricked Ray Jay into making a porn film with me for distribution. My former publicist, Jonathan Jaxson, knows what happened! I am just waiting for him, and many more, to come out and reveal how I really am.

My ex husband Damon Thomas whom I married at the age of 19 in Las Vegas publicly called me: untalented, a trashy whore, desperate, a plastic surgery addict, a backstabber, and a cheater. I am currently using social medias to snake my way in to other celebrity’s lives for friendship and publicity. I show up like a diva to all kind of award shows that I have NO business at all to attend. I call the paparazzi myself. I learned that trick from Paris Hilton, but I’m too cheap to buy their lunch like she does.

I have NO talent what so ever. I was thrown off Dancing with the Stars on the second week. I made a work out video that clearly shows I have never worked out in my life. I did a test shoot for Playboy, but after seeing the proofs they refuse to acknowledge me. I got a Razzie for my horrendous performance in the parody Disaster Movie. I should have gotten one for my sextape as well. My song JAM, I have no words for. It is the most annoying and pitiful song in history. I sing like an unmusical, tone deaf, four year old who wants a cookie from Grandma.

We, the Kardashians, call each other dolls, and I alone have tainted the pussycat dolls by heisting their concept. I tried to fuck over children by selling them an insane debit Master Card with predatory fees. It was unfortunately taken off the market after 1 week under threat of legal action from several states. Thankfully I found a new way to rip off the kids with glam silly bandz.

I Stole $120k from Ray J and Brandy’s mother, Sonja Norwood, credit card. After being busted I paid her back with the money I got from the sex tape I made with her son. That’s the circle life, Mrs. Norwood. The clothes at Dash are pure knock offs from top brands and designers. I don’t even know how to sew on a button or sketch anything. But I call myself a fashion designer. The logo on my perfumes is a complete rip of from Korcula creator Lindley Bertin.

For World AIDS Day I went off social medias until my fans had raised $1M. I was confident that within 12 hours I would be back. Seven days later I had to be bailed out by a billionaire who wanted to spare me shame. This is how much my «fans» value and missed me.

I also love to flaunt my gigantic fake hippo ass. It’s my calling card for any rich Black man that wants to ram my azz hard and move on! Evan Ross, Marquis Houston, Scott Storch, Fabolous, The Game, Nick Cannon, Nick Lachey, Tyson Beckford, William ‘Ray J’ Norwood, Reggie Bush, Christiano, Chengo (The Bodyguard is one of my favorite movies ever) Miles Austin, Gabriel Aubry (only because everybody said I was only into black guys) Kanye West, and soon Kris Humpries; are just a FEW of the men that have ALL fucked, pissed in my mouth, AND dumped me. They know that I am trash and that brings their reputations down to the gutter with mine. I will fuck anyone for publicity. I have had many STDs, but the only one I have now is herpes (got that from Paris too). I am pathetic, plastic, and terribly insecure.

I am the filthiest famewhore in the whole wide world!

I am Kim Kardashian… Superstar

this is some hippie bullshit...

2011-10-26T11:18:00.001-04:00

You were probably wondering where your favorite misanthrope was while this latest hippie bullshit du jour was going on. I was where all of the people who were occupying Wall Street weren’t: at work. Honestly, I was hoping it would just pass and I could ignore it, but it seems to be picking up some steam, and this has put the pen back in my hand. This is the logical illogical progression to the previous Tax The Rich movement of a few months ago.

Like most hippie bullshit the goal is unclear but the enemy is omnipotent. For people who need a movement to follow behind, the best ones are those that will never end. What exactly do the 99% want? I’m not totally sure but I think they want the 1 percent’s money, preferably directly but more realistically filtered through the government.

A friend pointed me to a rather hilarious website today called WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT. This sheds some light on the wants of the 99% from the 1%.

Here is an example photo from this site of many photos like this with transcriptions underneath:

In this photo above you see a woman who was allegedly impregnated 5 times by one of the 1%ers, forced into a mortgage and is actively being snubbed by landlords. I don’t mean to be unsympathetic or glib, because I really do feel for this woman on a human level, but I can’t imagine that this pitiful attitude is helping her or her 5 (!!) children.

How does she know that no landlords will rent to her?
Why is she looking at renting if she hasn’t been evicted yet?
Surely she can work some job?
Certainly there are government programs for a single woman with 5 children.
In a sense though, and I mean this compassionately, what message does it send to people like this if we blame the rich 1% for this woman’s impressive series of missteps?
Why does she think it’s their fault?
What help could this woman be given that would give her lift off and not just encourage her to make more mistakes or wallow in the rubble of her missteps?

Here are the wants of the above 99 percenter:

To not be fed lies
For her degree to find her a job
To not be in debt, depressed or struggling
No more unpaid internships
Not live at parents house
Stability
To not worry everyday
To have been foretold that life would be this way (difficult)

Seems reasonable. Let’s move to the next one.

Above is a man who doesn’t realize that there is no debtor’s jail and he can simply stop paying his credit card and save the cash. Of course that would mean that he wouldn’t be entitled to more credit cards (pretty good thing actually for someone who is broke) that charge him high interest rates which is probably why he doesn’t do what I just suggested. Also he’s not wearing any pants.

Former Idaho Senator Larry Craig upset about situations that i’m 100% certain didn’t happen overnight. There’s a tube of Elmer’s glue on the couch behind him. He looks like the type that likes the taste of glue from time to time.

This is a common thread and the irony is appalling: people angry that they paid a lot of money for an education and aren’t being paid corporate salaries to pay off their loans. Again, like credit card man above this chick should forget about that debt and start living. Smile, you just got a free $75,000 education. People in other countries who must have money to go to college would gladly step into your shoes, except they probably wouldn’t pick the dumb major that you did.

More education bubble woes. I’d wager that her “dream degree” was not in English. How is it the rich 1 percent to blame that she chose a degree that is not in demand? Having a child seemed like a great idea for a graduating senior?

This just in: students are usually poor and must make sacrifices for 4 years in order to get an education. Up next: boiling water is hot.

Below this photo was this information supplied by the lady in the photo:

With no choice by to work for my mothers business, I have given up all hope in pursuing my dream. I never thought I’d be in this situation at my age. My parents moved here from Pakistan and had me and my brothers here in America hoping to raise their children in a better economy with opportunities and fulfilling dreams. But all we have gotten is grief and struggle. If we all stand together, we can change it all!!! NYer’s join me and MoveOn.org on Wednesday October 5th at City Hall Downtown Manhattan, for a march to stand for OUR dreams!!!

Poor girl has to work for her mothers business— wha what? Her mother’s business? Hoping for better economy and opportunities and fulfilling dreams? Wait, so the Wall Street guys don’t want a better economy? They like a shitty and volatile stock market? Oh my god this is maddening.

Ok i’m done.

The really frightening part of this is that all of this is just pure and simple envy. Sure there’s a lot of rich people in this country and sure they do evil rich people stuff sometimes, but every single one of these pictures are like examples of exactly what not to do. These people are mad that they have student loan debt without considering how fucking lucky they are that in this country you don’t need to be rich to go to college. The economy sucks because of the stupid mistakes of these exact types of people, not Wall Street. These people felt entitled to a house and easy credit they only planned to pay off if they sold their house for twice what they paid for it. Too bad everyone had this idea and nobody was able to sell anything or pay back anything.

$30,000 in credit card debt? At $20,000 did it occur to them to stop using the credit card? This is insane that this type of thinking is considered some kind of progress.

...and the pussification of america continues...

2011-10-21T13:32:00.001-04:00

Listen you want to fuck with Columbus Day be my guest. I don’t give a shit about Christopher Columbus. Rape him in the ass for all I care. But Halloween? You’re not letting kids dress up for Halloween? Well now you just lost all credibility as a human and need to be fired. Halloween is the least offensive holiday in the history of holidays. How anybody could have an axe to grind with Halloween is beyond me. I mean connections to witchcraft? I don’t even know what that means? Seriously what does that mean? That letting kids dress up promotes black magic? That the witch community is offended? I honestly don’t get it. Unfortunately I’m not surprised though. Every fucking day we got a new “educator” who has no grip on reality trying to impose their wacko personal views on their students and we just sit around and let it happen. We literally have psychopaths running our schools. You want to talk scary. That’s scary.

It just gets more and more amazing doesn’t it? These people need to get their heads out of their ass and stop acting like they’re on to some new concept. EVERYWHERE you look in the history of humankind you find torture, murder and countless atrocities. I doubt there is a culture or nation that has ever existed on planet earth that’s exempt from that. Violence and insanity are part of the nature of humans. Oh, and as Principal Foley is a perfect example–we humans are also sometimes really, utterly stupid, idiotic imbeciles, not to mention this one is a huge BITCH.

What must it have been like when public schools were first established in the colonies in, oh, wait, wasn’t it in Boston? Those dang New England Puritans! And oh, up until the late 1800s, the primary book that most Americans learned to read from, wasn’t it, yeah, the Holy Bible? Now haven’t those facts freaked out this parochial, prejudiced principal yet?

♥ new music tuesday: coldplay of course

2011-10-18T11:46:00.002-04:00

It is no secret what a huge COLDPLAY fan I am. I first saw them live at the PNC Bank Arts Center with my fabulous friend Priscilla and ever since i have been a hardcore dedicated fan.

ColdPlay Concert @ PNC 2oo5
vannessa, keith, priscilla, & me <3

It must be said that I wouldn’t normally write a review of any album until I’d listened to it multiple times. I’m making a huge exception here for a couple of reasons. First, I’ve heard most of the songs on the album many times because Coldplay has been playing them at festivals. Second, I’m so familiar with their catalog that I feel pretty assured sharing my opinions on this album, in generalities at the very least. Finally, how many times am I going to get to do this? Like, none, and I really want to share this info with other excited Coldplay fans. So, without further ado, here’s my review of Mylo Xyloto (in stores Oct. 24, 2011).

Mylo Xyloto 2011

Mylo Xyloto opens with the song of the same name, a tinkly, sparkling piano and xylophone track, a short musical introduction. Coldplay has also been opening their festival shows with this, and as in their live performances, on the album “MX” breezes seamlessly into the guitar-driven “Hurts Like Heaven.” ”Hurts Like Heaven” is a poppy number with ’80s influences (think “Lips Like Sugar“) and a number of terrific cascading riffs from guitarist Jonny Buckland that sound as fresh on the album as they do live. ”HLH”‘s lyrics and Martin’s vocal delivery also give it an urgency that match the guitar work.

One song Coldplay fans have been raving about for months now is the next track “Charlie Brown,” a song that sounds absolutely massive in concert thanks to Buckland’s circuitous, catchy guitar melody and Will Champion’s driving drums. Fans will be pleased to know that the album version is faithful to the live one, and actually, “Charlie Brown” sounds even more affirming on Mylo Xyloto as the production is kept simple and Martin’s voice is loose and fluid.

“M.M.I.X.”, another short instrumental interlude, quickly turns into Coldplay’s huge summer hit “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” featuring a sample of Peter Allen’s “I Go to Rio.” Much has already been said about “ETIAW,” a divisive track in the Coldplay fan community, but one that I personally enjoy. I mean, I don’t really know what’s not to like about it – it’s fun, the band sounds freer than they ever have, Buckland shines on an incredibly clever guitar riff, Champion pulsates on the drums, and I dig the talk-sing verses. One of my favorite aspects of Martin’s songwriting is how he perfectly encapsulates a sentiment into a simple lyrical line and “ETIAW” is full of examples of that (“I’d rather be a comma than a full stop”). As for the assertion that it’s too “pop”…well I hate to break it to you, but Coldplay’s had songs in the category of pop ever since “Yellow.”

Overall, Mylo Xyloto is bracing and vivid, not overproduced, and balances delicacy and bombast with a steady, assured hand. Coldplay has never been more liberated as a band, even on Viva La Vida where they first dipped into expanding their melodious sound. There’s no sense of that hesitation on MX which sometimes hindered the band in the past, and there are more variations of riffs, more solos, more beats, and more bass than ever before. Martin’s voice has also never sounded more natural and his range never bigger – he sounds terrific throughout. Mylo Xyloto is restless and fast-paced – the type of album that you can absorb listen after listen and hear something new each time. It’s filled with frenetic energy, sonic highs, and heartwrenching ballads; as a loose concept album, it’s absorbing on many levels, and sounds very of-the-moment, something Coldplay has always excelled at.
