I've wanted to write something legitimate for some time now but I can't bring myself to comment on the world currently...It's awful. Everything, is just so awful.
So, I am not going to comment on the bad things, instead, I'll highlight the positive. I think we all need some good news, right?
** Clears Throat. Ahem. Ahem**
The nine men involved in the terrorist attacks on India are lying in a hospital morgue. How is this good news? Well, here is the thing, they are Muslims and therefore, they must be buried. The Muslim community in India is refusing to take them in and bury them. “People who committed this heinous crime cannot be called Muslim,” Hanif Nalkhande, a spokesman for the trust, told The Times of London.
Thank you Indian Muslim community.
Obama's controversial stimulus package ( which has passed, Thank God) has received support from GOP Governors. I know you are thinking, thats not a big a deal. But it is! Maybe this means the Republicans are seeing past all the bullshit. Not all at once, but slowly they will all come around.
Thank you Gov. Terminator.
Billionaire fashion designer Armani, announced at fashion week that he is going to donate 1 Million dollars to New York Public Schools to promote the arts.
Thank you philanthropy.
Chris Brown has finally broken his silence. He released a statement saying that he was deeply remorseful and will be seeking counseling.
Thank you TMZ.
President Álvaro Colom of Guatemala apologized to Cuba on Tuesday for his country’s role in permitting the CIA to train Cuban exiles on Guatemalan soil to take part in the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.
Thank you history.
JetBlue is offering Fare Refunds to customers who have lost their jobs since purchasing a ticket.
Thank you market competition.
Also, Dunkin Donuts is randomly handing out free $5.00 gift cards to customers.
Thanks again, competition.
And finally, He's Just Not That Into You opened in theaters. So if you need something to take your mind off all the bad things going on go see this film. Not because its particularly good or anything but because we all know the easiest things to fuss and strain your brain over are matters of the heart.

Has the world gone crazy?
OK. Has the world gone completely insane?
I know the economy is tough but seriously? Have you been reading the news?
Nadya Suleman had EIGHT children. NO, its no Jon and Kate plus eight. Its Nadya and fourteen children. Nadya who doesn't have a job or a degree. This lady got divorced in 2000 before she had any babies, and then decided to pack her uterus with as many embryo's as possible and destroy her vagina.
I am not being mean, I am angry as hell. You know Suleman hired two publicist as soon as she left the hospital ? You know angelina and brad got $14 million for there baby pictures. You know everyone who had a shitload of babies has there own reality show . You know she collected $168,000 in disability benefits. You know she got an interview with the Today show...
It's absolutely disgusting.
In another news, President Obama has taken over my TV/Radio/Internet. Enough with the Obama mania already. I think he spends more time on TV then actually doing anything. Have you watched the Senate argue over this stimulus package? Its the stupidest shit you'll ever witness. It's like third grade show and tell, everybody in Senate wants to show there fabulous analogy concerning deficit spending. I have come to the conclusion that America is run by idiots.
Michael Phelps smokes pot. The golden boy of America was stupid enough to be caught taking a hit. You're a moron.
Jessica Simpson is fat. woohoo. I don't care. Here is what I do care about, her sudden new tantrums on stage. She destroyed two concerts by screwing up her own lyrics and running off stage in tears. I am getting tired of celebrity tantrums. How can you screw up your own awful lyrics?
Apparently every cabinet appointee Obama picked decided it was unnecessary to pay taxes. This really pisses me off, like really. Geithner wrote off his kids sleep away camp expenses as day care. That ticks me off more than you can imagine because those day care benefits are for single mothers. You know the girls who got knocked up in 10th grade and had to put the kid in day care so they could finish beauty school. Those girls really need those benefits so there children don't repeat the same story. Geithner is a douchebag and I dont know how I feel about him being in charge of the "Treasury" or whatever is left of it. After hearing all this stuff I feel as though Obama cannot bring the change he promised, he'll just spend his entire term bringing ethics to Washington. How can we expect Wall St. to act accordingly if Politicians can't even do it.
Did you are about this $500,000 salary cap for Wall St. exec's. Seriously, $500,000 is the cap? Seriously.
Apparently Peanut company lied that they tested the tainted peanuts and knew they were giving salmonella to everyone. Smart guys, what you thought nobody was going to notice? Nobody was going to notice that people just started dying. smart.
Sri Lanka and Gaza. How about this Sri Lankan Government, why dont you just kill all your inhabitants, all of them. This way you can go around shooting because that is what you are doing anyway. Did you catch any of those Tamil Tigers yet? Oh, yea, one. Good job. How many innocent civilians have you killed? wooosh, thats a big number. Any of them babies. oooh thats nice. Oh, and Hamas and Israel....seriously..no comment.
Oh and word to the media. STOP TELLING ME HOW MANY JOBS HAVE BEEN LOST DAILY.
I get it, things are bad, I see it. I don't need a daily reminder. You know what else I don't need a stupid comparison to another shitty time when this stuff was happening.
Finally, Ashlee Simpson and that freakshoow she married named there kid something hideous.
I propose a new program. Listen up Obama. Before a couple or single person decide to have a child they should be screened, given an aptitude test, a personality test and there financial information should be reviewed...then they should told whether or not they should have a child. Because just because you can have babies doesn't mean you should.

Cause your kiss went deeper than my skin..
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cause your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.
Piece by piece
is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
First of all must fly,
My dreams of you and I,
There's no point of holding on to those
And then our ties will break,
For your and my own sake,
Just remember,
This is what you chose
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
I'll shed like skin,
Our memories of lazy days,
And fade away the shadow of your face
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cause your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.
Piece by piece

Will Bush and Rumsfeld be tried for war crimes?
So recently, I've heard a whole bunch of people ask the question, Should Bush and Rumsfeld be tried for war crimes?
Lets clear this up a little, there is no Should...it's WILL they be tried for war crimes. According to UN Special Rapporeur on Torture Manfred Nowak, " both former President George W. Bush and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld could be brought to trial. Nowak told the German broadcaster ZDF, "the United States U.S.) has a clear obligation" to prosecute Rumsfeld and Bush for ordering interrogation methods at Guantanamo that contravened a UN convention on torture. Nowak said there were publicly available documents "that prove that these methods of interrogation were intentionally ordered by Rumsfeld."
Bush was warned on January 28, 2003, by Lawyers Against the War that he and senior government officials could be prosecuted for war crimes if military tactics violated international humanitarian law. Their letter to Bush said that although Washington was not a party to the International Criminal Court, U.S.officials could still be prosecuted under the Geneva Convention
And lets not forget those amazing photographs from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. So now that its been indefinitely proven that in fact we did torture prisoners at Gitmo....Want more proof, Click me.
What do we do now? Should we go after Rumsfeld, and Bush? Nowak states that we as a nation have a clear obligation to do so. I guess, the reason there has been no real action on this front is because President Obama's first prority is the economy. I dont understand however why he is so adament about getting bipartisan support on his stimulus plan. He doesn't need it, the plan is going to pass and its virtually impossible to get republicans to see past tax cuts. I agree, that tax cuts will bring more immediate results however we aren't looking for a quick fix, we need a long term plan.
Ok enough of that.
I think after we relax the economic situation we must reprimand the people responsible for the torture. I say this because as an American citizen I feel like I've been cheated. I feel guilty and disgusted with myself. I condemned this type of behavior toward another human being because I was so caught up in the fervor post 9/11. You know the Bush Administration did a great job making a clear line, the US is Good and those people, the Muslims, are Evil.
It was so clear to see.
But now, after pulling my head out of the water (8 years later) the line is not so clear. How can we call ourselves "Good" if we did the same things the so called "Evil" people did.
Doesn't all this sound like the story of a poor, uneducated Pakistani boy? Lets say some terrorist blew up his home and killed many of his friends. He was vulnerable. He then was brainwashed into doing some terrible things. Isn't that the story of Americans post 9/11.
Our fellow citizens were killed by some terrorist. We as a nation were then brainwashed into indirectly doing some terrible things.
What do we have to show for it ? No WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and no Osama Bin Laden.
We killed thousands of innocent people in search for one man? We are in a war that is exhausting our spirits, economy and above all killing more of our own in search for what? One man?
above all, we forsaked the very virtues of our nation. Freedom. We took away the freedom of citizens. We threw innocent people into prison and tortured them. Here is the thing people, yes, you didn't do anything personally. There is no blood on your hands. directly. But we all as a nation, sat back and looked the other way as this was happening. We are responsible for the torture of innocent people. The blood is on our hands.
