Another disgusting group I saw on Facebook today.
This is sick. This is wrong. This is NOT Patriotic, in no way is the Government supporting this. This is racist, and a lot of these "terrorists" are probably US Citizens. Just because someone is Muslim, has different views than your own and are strange or 'evil' in your eyes does not make them terrorists.
There have always been hate crimes, unfortunately, but they say a rapid growth after the events of 9/11. Don't believe me?

1,500 Hate crimes to Muslims, Islamics, etc after 9/11! Fifteen hundred! How do we think this is right? Is America really so ignorant to go out and kill innoceent people just because a small group of people made Terrorist attacks on our country? It was a tragedy, but that does not mean we pinpoint everyone for the fault of it.
I for one,will not be taking part of this and hope no one does. If you want to stop terrorism, there are better, more productive ways than walking naked around your neighborhood and hoping someone will KILL THEMSELVES.

I Saw this on Facebook today
So I was on Facebook today, usually what day am I not, and saw this group:
"" DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN."
Honestly, I thought it was sick, over the top, and wrong. I've seen people join groups such as "Impeach Obama" (Uh guys, he's done nothing worth impeachment. Look it up first) "10,000 against Obama's Health care Reform" Etcetera. And while I may not agree with those views and some of the extremes and extremists I've seen I can still respect that.
But this, this while not quite as bad as the guy on Twitter who was calling for someone to shoot our president of the united states, is just ridiculous. now, I myself have never read the bible. But that doesn't mean I'm ignorant about it, and I know there is a part of it that says "Love Thy Enemy." I'm pretty sure that means don't kill them, and don't wish death on them so that someone might take it seriously and goes and kills them. Thats called murder. Assassination. Its wrong, and it will land you in jail.

Little By Little
Well Listening to the musical soundtrack, Little By Little, can really make you think. So that's where this blog gets started....
Lyrics:
Choices were easy when crayons were green
and red, blue and yellow and nothing between
turquoise and fusia and aquamarine
make it much harder to choose
Which of lifes colors to use
Isn't that the perfect analogy? When life was easy? When there were only a few colors in the crayon box....the basics, not all these different shades like red violet, turquoise, midnight blue....Need I go on?
I really do miss the days when choices were that easy. Its amazing now you look back at yourself. When you think you knew everything and your parents were just the evil people trying to stop you and they didn't know anything about you. I am amazed at myself looking back at that. I realize now how easy I had it, I wish I had worked harder. Got more A's and B's in High school rather than C's and D's, I think about it and I realize I'd probably be in a much better place because of it all right now. Because now, every day it feels like I'm swimming against the current and I wonder if it would feel any different how I had worked harder when I was younger.
This isn't to say I regret everything though, like meeting Scott, moving in with him, falling in love with him. I've just had so many uncertainty's lately it seems.
Do I spend time with Scott, who always seems so depressed though I know that isn't entirely his fault, sometimes I do wonder if it will ever change. I hate myself for that. Do I spend my time with my family who I've come to cherish so much more and bond with as I've grown older. I'm so afraid of having so little time left with them as my dad isn't getting an younger and my youngest sister is heading towarsd Sweden and College in a few short months. While I, 22, am barely beginning myself.
Again I ask myself....why didn't I work as hard as her? Of course, you never really see this stuff until you're older and more experienced and look back on it. Why didn't I listen to my parents? Well its too late now I guess, its all happened, I can only change my future....its just a little depressing to look back at that.
Am I abusing my relationship with Scott for wanting to spend so much time with my family in this hard times when he needsme most?
Then I'm afraid of giving things I love up, like my X men writing and other hobbies. While I'm growing up and becoming more serious, I still want these things to be part of my life and I wonder if I'll have time for everything ever again.

I Saw This On Facebook 2.0
Another disgusting group I saw on Facebook today.
This is sick. This is wrong. This is NOT Patriotic, in no way is the Government supporting this. This is racist, and a lot of these "terrorists" are probably US Citizens. Just because someone is Muslim, has different views than your own and are strange or 'evil' in your eyes does not make them terrorists.
There have always been hate crimes, unfortunately, but they say a rapid growth after the events of 9/11. Don't believe me?
