RUSH TO THE POOR HOUSE

I HATE HALF-HEARTED ATTEMPTS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF PPL DID DECIDE TO PLAY WITH MONEY. WALL STREET JERKS DON'T DESERVE TO BE "HELPED" THEY SHOULD BE HOMELESS FOR ATLEAST A YEAR. BUSHY WAS DENYING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG! WHAT AN IDIOT, NOW HE IS GOING TO TAKE 700 BILLION OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO COVER UP HIS INDECISIVENESS AND LACK OF LEADERSHIP AND BAILOUT HIS GREEDY FRIENDS. IF THAT ANCIENT, CORRUPTED, COPYCAT (MCCAIN) IS VOTED INTO OFFICE I WOULD HAVE TO JUST DIE. HE IS JUST LIKE BUSH! WE CAN'T JUST PLACE ALL THE BLAME ON BUSH, HE WAS PROBABLY JUST A PUPPET, AND THE PUPPET MASTERS WERE DICK CHENEY AND KARL ROVE. DID YOU KNOW THAT BUSH IS SELLING BILLIONS IN ARMS TO TAIWAN? WHICH BASICALLY MEANS HE IS TRYING TO PISS OFF THE CHINESE. IS HE REALLY DOING WHAT I THINK HE IS? METAPHORICALLY, HE IS POKING THE ANGRY, AWAKE BEAR WITH AN ELECTRIC CATTLE PRODDER. HE TRYING TO MESS EVERYTHING UP EVEN MORE THAN IT IS SO THAT THE NEXT PREZ, WILL HAVE A NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE JOB OF CLEANING IT UP. I HOPE THAT HISTORIANS WILL DEPICT HIM AS THE GIANT,INCOMPETENT, IDIOT HE IS.

HEROES=LOVE

I LOVE HEROES, ITS THIS SHOW ABOUT ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO DISCOVER THAT THEY HAVE ABILITIES. THEIR DIFFERENT STORY LINES OCCASIONALLY CONNECT WHEN THEY SAVE THE WORLD TOGETHER. THE FIRST SEASON WAS ABOUT SAVING NEW YORK FROM A NEUCLEAR BOMB THAT ACTUALLY TURNED OUT TO BE THE MAIN ANTAGONIST(GOOD GUY) OF THE SHOW, PETER. PETER HAS THE ABILITY TO ABSORB OTHER PEOPLE'S ABILITY, HE DOESN'T ROB THEM OF THEIR ABILITIES, HE JUST COPIES THEM. WELL HE GOT RADIOACTIVITY FROM TED, WHO WAS KILLED BY THE MAIN BAD GUY SYLAR. SYLAR TAKES ABILITIES, SOMEWHAT LIKE PETER, EXCEPT HE HARMS THE PEOPLE. HE CUTS OFF THE TOP OF THEIR HEADS EXPOSING THEIR BRAIN, THEN HE DOES HIS THING. SYLAR'S ORGINAL ABILITY WAS TO BE ABLE TO "SEE/HEAR" HOW THINGS WORK IN THE BRAIN. HE THOUGHT HE WASN'T SPECIAL ENOUGH SO HE SET OUT TO BE THE MOST SPECIAL--BY TAKING AWAY EVERYBODY ELSE'S ABILITY. MOHINDER SURESH IS A GENETICIST WHO DISCOVERED GENETIC MARKERS THAT ALLOW HIM TO FIND OUT WHO HAS ABILITIES OR WHO WILL. IN THE THIRD SEASON HE DISCOVERED A SERUM THAT "GIVES" PEOPLE ABILITIES. IT WOULD TAKE ME forever TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO YOU. BUT I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS, EACH SEASON HAS A DEFINING STATEMENT WHETHER ITS "are you on the list?" or "save the cheerleader, save the world" I WONDER WHAT IT WILL BE THIS SEASON--CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT!

Tipsy People Shouldn't Speak

Hola!! This friday was the homecoming game and it was quite the event. The Albert Lea tigers lost 34-35 to the Mankato East Cougars. I had to stand the whole time cuz we got there late and the old people proceeded to occupy ALL the available space. After the game my friends [ Shotta, T. Jones, Rivera, & Jesse] and I went to the dance. We have been looking forward to this event for weeks and it was finally here! but guess what, it was THE LAMEST dance ever! The free stuff and lights and confetti, and the fog were all cool, but the DJ was lame. He would stop after every song and talk for like 5 min! Speaking of the songs, he pretty much only played weird song that you wouldn't dance to, i probably only liked about 5 songs out of all of them. The whole scene looked like it did from the pics they showed so i guess that was the only upside. Okay, now we're getting to the part that relates to the title. After the dance, we realized that we didn't have a ride home! Amanda and I were staying at Martha's because we had a volleyball tournament at 6 a.m. the next morning. Did i mention martha lives by the courthouse? Thats a few miles from the school! We had to walk home at 1 a.m.! it was amanda (T. Jones), Martha (Shotta), Jesse, and these 2 boys, who we really didn't know. Lol we all thought that we were going to be ticketed for being out passed curfew (10:30) but surprisingly we didn't, in fact we were passed by a couple of cop cars on the way home. Now, we've walked atleast 2 miles and we're near a bunch of bars. We decided to take a shortcut through what looked like the empty parking lot of the bar. but to our surprise there was a bunch of drunk guys in the parking lot and they saw us. we stopped and thought about going around the building cuz it probably not a good idea to hang around drunk people at 2 a.m. alone. they started talking to us and one of them said "Hey ladies!, are you guys here to drink?"and we started laughing cuz he was REALLY drunk. another guy said "Oh look, they're not here to drink, they're probably like 12 years old" another guy said "yeah, they're probably coming back from homecoming" and the guy who said we were 12 said "don't mess with them, they're 12. you know what that means, trouble" the first guy then proceeded to ask us how old we were, Martha decided to tell them we were 13 [we're 15]. By now Amanda has dipped! she sprinted around the building and disappeared, Martha and I walked on the sidewalk around the parking lot, a safe distance from the drunks. The first guy just wouldn't leave us alone--he kept saying "you guys aren't 13, look at the chick in the blue shes like 5'9"!" I didn't say anything I just kept laughing and martha kept insisting we were 13. The guys weren't that old, they were probably in their 20s and they were pretty cute :) Now we've passed the bar and were about a block from martha's when we heard the guys yelling "How old are you really?" from their car. Amanda was just coming around the corner when the guys slowed down to our pace and kept talking to the 3 of us. It was starting to get really creepy and we couldnt turn onto martha's street in case they thought about following us, so we walked passed it. By now martha was getting frustrated and she was yelling at them to just go. eventually they got the point and left, but it looked like they were going to come back, so we decided dip over to these trees and hide out for awhile. Lol :P Now we were on martha's porch but martha forgot her key at home!! a few lights were on and we opened the screen door to see if it was locked and it was. we went around back to see if we could crawl in through her window but it was locked from the inside. we had no choice but to knock on her door and hope her dad didn't open it. the lights mysteriously were turned off when we got to the front. we knocked on the door and it was opened slowly--we could just barely make out a figure with a baseball bat. Martha started saying "wait, dad its me martha" and he turned on the lights and we all started laughing cuz he would have killed us. He though we were burglars trying to break in cuz we walked around the house a few times and jiggled the doorknobs. That was the end of my interesting friday night.

What Calamity??

goodafternoon peoples of the world! ooookay.... I've just come to the conclusion that I have gone about this blog thing all wrong. I started too strong, now I fear that I will have nothing to talk about in the future. Lets compare this to running the mile. I've just sprinted the first mile and i'm already drained. The last lap will be a fight to finish. But in this case it will be a fight to stay interesting :) now I'm sort of jinxing myself but oh well, i'm sure i'll think of something. STAY KRISPY!

NEW FACE OF FAILURE

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD SOMETHING SO OUTRAGEOUS THAT YOU JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS TRUE? WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ON THE RIDE HOME FROM VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE. MY BUDS SHOTTA AND T. JONES TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPERS RECENTLY. IT WAS A STORY ABOUT TEENS SEXUALLY ABUSING THE ELDERLY AT A NURSING HOME. NOW, I'VE ALREADY HEARD THE STORY BUT JUST HEARING IT AGAIN MAKES IT WORSE. HOW CAN ANYBODY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I GUESS THEIR WAY OF JUSTIFYING THE ACT WAS THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS FUN. THE OLD PEOPLE CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES! I WONDER IF THE PERSON RUNNING THAT NURSING HOME HAD ANY IDEA ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THEY DID SOME HALF-HEARTED DAMAGE CONTROL BECAUSE I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS STORY LAST YEAR AND NOW IT'S REARING ITS UGLY HEAD. SOMETHING WENT WRONG SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE WITH THESE PEOPLE--I THINK THEY SHOULD DO SOME TIME BEHIND BARS. IT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS ABUSING CHILDREN. IT AMAZES ME THAT SOME PEOPLE CAN HAVE THE CAPACITY TO COMMIT SUCH HEINOUS CRIMES. PERSONALLY, I FEEL THAT THIS STORY NEEDS MORE ATTENTION--THE PEOPLE HERE SHOULDN'T KEEP MUM ABOUT SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE. SURE, THEY DON'T WANT TO AIR THEIR DIRTY LAUNDRY TO THE WORLD, BUT THEY BROUGHT IT UPON THEMSELVES. HAD THEY HANDLED THIS CORRECTLY AT THE MOMENT IT WAS DISCOVERED IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE ANYMORE. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE COME RIGHT ON OUT AND JUST TELL THE TRUTH;IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DRAMATIC DEFINING MOMENT. THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE HAD SYMPATHY FOR THE VICTIMS AND APPLAUDED THE BRAVERY OF THE NURSING HOME FOR TELLING EVERYONE. THEN AGAIN, I LIKE DRAMATIC ENDINGS TO DRAMATIC EVENTS AND NOT EVERYONE FEELS THE SAME WAY. I HOPE THE PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED THESE CRIMES ARE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE AND THAT THE NURSING HOME REDEEMS ITS REPUTATION, AND FINALLY, I HOPE THE VICTIMS FEEL RELIEF/CLOSURE.

Mad As Rabbits

I THOUGHT THE TITLE OF MY FIRST POSTING ON HERE SHOULD BE A BIT CATCHY. LOL PLUS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WELL IT'S A TUESDAY EVENING AND I AM BORED OUT OF MY MIND. WHILST EDITING THIS THING I WAS ASKED THE RANDOM QUESTION "DO YOU THINK FORKS ARE EVOLVED FROM SPOONS?" I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD AT FIRST BUT I ANSWERED IT ANYWAY. IT GOT ME THINKING "WHY IS EVOLUTION SUCH A HOT TOPIC?" I'M PRETTY SURE THERE IS PROOF, I MEAN SERIOUSLY. ANIMALS EVOLVED, WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE DID? AFTER ALL WE ARE TECHNICALLY CONSIDERED ANIMALS. OVERLY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE THESE DAYS... THEY JUST CAN'T ACCEPT LOGICAL REASONING, BUT THEN AGAIN IF EVERYONE ACCEPTED LOGICAL REASONING WE WOULDN'T HAVE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE! LOL I MUST BE A TERRIBLE PERSON-MAKING FUN OF RELIGION LIKE THAT. I WONDER IF EVEN THE MOST DIE-HARD BELIEVERS DOUBT THEIR FAITH EVERY NOW AND THEN--THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. HOW DIFFERENT WOULD LIFE BE IF THERE WERE NO RELIGION? THERE WOULD BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF PROS AND CONS. I THINK THE PROS WOULD BE THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MORE WARS OVER RELIGION. JUST THINK ABOUT IT, SOME OF THE MOST BLOODY WARS WERE OVER RELIGION-THERE WOULDN'T BE ANYMORE BICKERING BETWEEN THE FAITHS CLAIMING ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER. A REALLY BIG UPSIDE IS THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE THESE STRANGE CULTS THAT HAVE PEOPLE BELIEVING RIDICULOUS THINGS--OR SUBJECTING THEIR CHILDREN TO ABUSE BECAUSE THEIR LEADER TELLS THEM IT'S THE WILL OF WHOMEVER THEY BELIEVE IN. ANOTHER UPSIDE IS THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T EXIST. WE COULD FINALLY ELECT SOMEONE FOR WHAT THEY STAND FOR, NOT WHICH RELIGION THEY BELIEVE IN; DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT WE WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT ELECTING BARACK OBAMA IF HE WAS A MUSLIM? THAT IS REALLY SAD. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE THAT I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW IS THAT THERE WOULD BE A LOT LESS HOPE IN THE WORLD BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO BELIEVE IN. I REALLY CAN'T TELL IF IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR HUMANITY OR JUST PUSH US FURTHER TOWARDS BEING MORALLY BANKRUPT, ACTUALLY COME TO THINK OF IT, WOULD OUR MORALS CHANGE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE RELIGION? WOW, THIS IS A TOPIC TOO BIG TO DISCUSS ALONE. I'M VERY SATISFIED WITH MY FIRST POSTING--I'M GOING TO GET A COOKIE BECAUSE I DESERVE IT, THIS IS AMAZING. (GEEZ, I SHOULD SHOW SOME HUMILITY)
