Bill Bennett is an asshole.
Every now and then, I am grateful that I wasn't born back in the forties and fifties when racism was as much a part of America as apple pie for obvious reasons of course, but also because I will see or hear something that is so blatantly racist that I couldn't imagine facing it on a daily basis. Today, I heard something that was horrible, and that man meant every single word he said.
Of course he is a Republican. Of course he has his own radio show so he can express to the country his dumb
views.
So, I guess if I was aborted, me being black and all, there would be one less hoodlum on the street. One less person to end up in jail. One less person to end up a crack fiend on the streets, willing to kill for another hit.
Maybe you're right Mr. Bennett. Or maybe you are a racist asshole.

I want to die like a rockstar.
I think its time I got a vice. Not any regular vice, either. I need a vice that can either land me in jail, in rehab, or in a grave. That way, I can get my own reality show that shows me killing myself in a rate that any of the rockers who died at 25 would approve of. Then when I am strung out, broke and depressed I can die like all real rockers die. A plane/car accident, an overdose or suicide.
Thats what I want to be when I grow up.

Never take nude pictures.
There is a 95% chance they will end up on the internet. I'm not speaking from experience. I knew that rule since middle school. But unfortunately, not all the girls heard about nudegirls.com
Yes, kiddies, I have been slacking on the posting. I've been busy and lazy lately. Thats quite a feat to be both at the same time, but I'm pulling it off beautifully. Besides working all the damn time and driving back and forth 45 miles to my boyfriends house, I've been tired and irritable and ready to knock anyones teeth out if they blinked at me wrong. Its been a long week. And what do I have to show for it? A bank account thats one check from being overdrawn, a car with screeching brakes and the worst hangover in human history.
If I have another week like the last, there will be dead bodies and my face on the news.

Clan D is the shit.
I'm using these nice young fellows in an experiment. They're my lab rats with dreads.

Why is it everytime I tell someone my stomach has been bothering me they ask me if I am pregnant? Do I look promiscous? Can it never be because I ate something bad?

I've been obsessed with Climbing up the Walls by Radiohead for a couple of days now. I looked up the lyrics to it this morning and it made me realize that I don't like most songs because of their content but rather their composition and the way the singer sings it. Thats the only explaination I could think of that would explain why this
song I
love is about someone climbing into someone elses house and bashing the back of thier skull in.

My observation of the day.
People who drive Volvo's usually doesn't run red lights. People who drive Kia's (me for example) do. On a regular basis. But now they have those damn cameras EVERYWHERE. Especially in Decatur. The only way that precinct makes money is speeding tickets and other miscellaneous traffic violations. I must have paid Dekalb county about two grand in tickets of all kinds. "Why don't you slow down?" you ask. That dosen't matter. I haven't got a speeding ticket in over a year, but I have gotten "failure to yield", "broken taillight", "broken tag light", and "failure to wash car on a weekly basis". Well, not that last one, but I might as well have.
What I am trying to say is the police in Decatur suck and they can kiss my ass. If there are no fucking cars in a 2 mile radius at 3 in the morning and the light takes 10 minutes to change, I'm running it.

I have been doing nothing but ranting at you for the last week and I apologize. Every now and then things are so fucked up in this world that you can't sit there and say nothing. This was one of those times. And while the ordeal isn't over the government finally decided, "Hey, maybe those folks needs a little help down there." I am even grateful for that.
I've cried and screamed and ranted, now its time for a little laughter.
Carlos Mencia is fucking hilarious. He crosses the line sometimes...but somehow when he does it, its ok.

Read Didn't expect this type of insight from a rapper in Harlem, huh? Most don't.
You have to be a MySpace member to read this. Sorry.

I really don't know how to say what I feel about the aftermath of Katrina. I'm beyond sadness, regret and even rage that this was allowed to happen. Right now, all I can say is I feel numb. We watched people die on the news. We heard stories of people sitting, waiting for help that never came. That is still not there. I've watched people go on with their day to day lives while wondering how they could even go shopping when people are STILL DYING out there. I have no friends or family in New Orleans but I feel like I lost someone close and while that is not true, I did lose something. I lost the little faith I had in mankind. For this to happen and everyone not be enraged shows that we as humans are heading to a place darker than I could ever imagine. How can you watch this happen right in front of your eyes and defend the people who had the power to prevent it from getting to this point? How can you say those people deserve what they are getting because they didn't leave when they were told they should? How can you feel the least bit apathetic to their situaton? I've been asking these questions since day one and I haven't heard a good answer yet. Everytime I see the news or read a story about this I cry because this COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED BY NOW. Maybe it could have been prevented but it happened and those people need help. They need help.
Watch this
video . Thanks
Bunny . If it dosen't make you feel angry in the slightest, then maybe there is something wrong with me.
I don't believe in organized religion. I don't believe in the Bible. I believe there is a higher power and I have prayed to it over and over. I've prayed for those peoples lives and I have prayed for help for myself in understanding why this is happening. I still don't understand, and I don't think I ever will. I don't think I want to.

And if you think I'm just ranting...
I'm not the only one .

Listen America
I am not a skeptic. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am an optimist and I only want to believe the best of evrything. But I can't always believe in the best of everything because I lot of things in this world is fucked up.
New Orleans is fucked up right now. Please, don't tell me Bush and the military is doing the best they can to solve this crisis. I won't believe you. The United States of America is the most powerful nation in the world right now and you are trying to tell me that we don't have the means or the sources to help those people? We are doing the best we can yet there are still people trapped on their roofs? There is no food and no water and it's almost been a week. We have dealt with he wrath of nature before, granted not this magnitude but the people we're helped immediately. They didn't start dying off due to starvation and dehydration. People are starving and dehydrating out there, America. Right now, New Orleans is damn near a third world country and instead of getting organized help that I know we are capable of, they are under martial law.
Military convoys aren't going there to help get them out. They are going there to restore order.
Yes, there is looting, but did you see what they are stealing? Not VCR's and microwaves. Pampers, food, water. Things that they need. So what is the military doing but causing even more chaos.
Look at the news and all you see is poor and middleclass White and Black people. I don't think it is coincidence that the majority of the victims is Black and they are still not getting the help they need. If the Hamptons was washed away do you really think people would still be on the roofs waiting for help four days later?
If you personally knew me, you would know that this isn't how I think, how I would even want to think about this country. But pay attention to whats happening. Don't believe them when they say they had no idea the levees would break like that because its a fucking lie. They knew. They knew for a long time. They ran simulation hurricanes on computers and the results was those levees couldn't hold up to a level 3 hurricane. They knew this.
Don't believe what CNN and C-Span tells you because they aren't always 100% truthful. News isn't about information anymore. It's about entertainment and people eat up tragedy. Hell, I couldn't tear my eyes away from the t.v. either and seeing all the death and suffering that New Orleans and Alabama and Mississippi is going through makes my heart ache.
But what really scares me is the thought that the people who made it out and once they decide to let those people who are trapped there out, they will never be able to come back. Those homes and businesses are gone. Do you think once they clear the debris they are going to call eveyrone back and tell them "Its alright to come back now. All clear!" or is businessmen vultures going to swoop down and buy up as much land as they can and start building condos and more casinos right on top of where those people lived?
Hey. Maybe I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. It hurts me to write this, but I don't believe everything I hear. I only trust my two eyes and my common sense. And I see those people being fucked over.
If you thought racism was dead, look at the citizens of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and tell me if you still think that or not.

I take back my comment on what I'd do if I had to pay $3.99 a gallon. I had it easy. Who thinks the gas shortage rumour was started by the government? In the end, it always seem to be about the oil.

I was listening to ABBA's Dancing Queen and heard the part how the dancer was only 17 and I thought to myself, "I was seventeen five years ago."
Then I got depressed.

To the victims and survivors of Hurricane Katrina, I rarely pray for anything, but I am praying for you.
And to all those dumb fucks, who panic, like crowds of people tend to do; thanks for taking the gas price up a whole fucking dollar. The next time I come anywhere near paying $3.99 for a gallon of gas is the day I take a sawed off shotgun and go on a murderous rampage through the fucking streets and blow every damn gas station I see to hell.
