im still here [May. 6th, 2009|07:21 pm]
i havent posted a picture or did a movie review in a wile i know ive been trying to rethink my priorities and organize my life a little. i still draw a lot just im trying to figure out my next step since i just found all the pages of the story its time i figure out where i start and what i do with it it seems i have over 100 pages and i still desire it to be a comic or graphic novel but reading it i can tell im no story teller i have chapters and a long story but none of it is very well written

(thank you my little ability to write or communicate my words it seems that even in my writing abilities just as my language abilities. i guess my largest trial in my life will be my communication skills i have the ability to do everything. and anything . i have proven that all the time. now i sometimes wish my communication skills were better but each time i think about it its probably best i cant communicate my words well. the things i know the and the things i see i could probably hurt many people i care about. never in my life do i desire to harm another . not on purpose at least.)

back to what i was talking about. my story isnt poor i just have thousands of spelling errors and also some chapters though they works in an order i cant seem to make them fit a simultaneous time line. i will though i will i know it i created the story and the worlds that it is of. heck i have spelling errors here. the odd thing im not bad at writing or spelling but when on a roll my mind ignores rules of the language and seems to start going with frenetic spelling. and typing my fingers are the exact thickness of one button so when pressing one button i press sometimes 2-3 of them. i noticed this going through my story and that spell check didnt notice it at all.

so far so good the first part or half for now. is written and i can start illustrating the work but i still feel i need an editor to help before i illustrate this piece. it was 8 years in the writing though it seems in 2006 i did write the majority of it. but for the life in me i cannot recall what append in 2006 that i wrote so much because i found the beginnings of 3 short stories and many advising tips to people and spiritual messages.

oh well till later catch you all.

thank you lord for who ever made spell check.

oh for this week my review of the curious case of Benjamin Button
though the movie is long it is worth every minute it is a fantastic movie portraying the worlds social norms and telling us that we are only as old as we feel. it needed all the time to tell such a fantastic story.
i give it a 5 out of 5

Robbing Retirement interesting facts [Apr. 16th, 2008|01:41 pm]
i am passing this along as it ws passed to me
_________________


Thank you Mr. Gore, for breaking that tie vote with your asshold buddies, by taxing my retirement that I'd paid into since I was 16 years old.



Your Social Security

We all need a little refresher history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican.

Facts are Facts!!!


Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program.

He promised:

1.

) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,

2.

) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,

3.

) That the money the participants elected to put
Into the Program would be deductible from
Their income for tax purposes each year,

4.

) That the money the participants put into the
Independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the
General operating fund, and therefore, would
Only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,

5.

) That the annuity payments to the retirees
Would never be taxed as income.



Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
Now receiving a Social Security check every month --
And then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
The money we paid to the Federal government to "put
Away" -- you may be interested in the following:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from t he
Independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the
General fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
Controlled House and Senate.



--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
"tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving
Annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.


Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
Began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
Even though they never paid a dime into it!

---------------------------------------- ------------------------------

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of Awareness will be planted and maybe changes will Evolve.

Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
Sure of what isn't so.



But it's worth a try.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.



AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

"
-Thomas Jefferson

now that we've got a bit of dirt on the democrats, does anyone got any dirt on the republicans?

To let you know my reviews are done of movies coming to dvd your local blockbuster video being I work at one.

This weeks movies

Juno

5 out of 5

This is a fun and hilarious movie. Very well done about a girl who gets pregnant and decided to put the child up for adoption. This movie though the story has been told it has never been told like this.

In the Name of the King

4 out of 5

If you don’t take this movie seriously and enjoy making fun of movies during it this movie is best for you. Its hilarious and has scenes that seem to be taken from other movies like 300 an Lord of the Rings. Heck they even take some of the costuming it looks like.

Lars and the real Girl

5 out of 5

This movie is wonderful and hilarious. You’ll love it. The movie is basically a man trying to cope with life after becoming a recluse. I think a quote best says it “he looked at the hermit hoping fro an answer but finding none” this one has many jokes and is a fun movie. It’s a movie of finding love and life were we never expect to see it.

AVP Requiem

4 out of 5

This movie is wonderfully done though it is pretty spooky. For all those horror fans this is one you’ll love

The Final Season

4 out of 5

A movie about understanding that life may be hard but least there’s more to life than what’s only right were we are. And when things get tough we an still find a way to survive and keep playing the game as we always have.

Last weeks movies

Photobucket

Water Horse: legend of the Deep

5 out of 5

This is a wonderful movie for the whole family. it’s not a horror movie but rather about a boy who’s life has slowly turned him reclusive at a young age. He finds a an egg and everything changes.

Walk Hard: the dewy Cox story

1 out of 5

It starts out funny but just goes down hill from there. I had to shut it off it didn’t get any better as a movie. An I shut it off early in the movie being how bad it was getting.

Resurrecting the Champ

4 out of 5

This movie is a great movie about the struggles that happen to people once they had there “15 minutes of fame” an how much they went through. It’s a movie to show that we should care more about those around us than just forget them and treat them like they were just dirt as they appear to the public today.

There Will Be Blood

3 out of 5

It was a good movie but I jus couldn’t get into it its to much of a serious movie. About an oil tycoon an his insane life.

Lions for Lambs

4 out of 5

This one is about going and doing what you must be finished and done for yourself even if it means you can not continue things afterwards. Making the choice that is most important even if we don’t see what the purpose is yet.

Two weeks ago

Photobucket

Alvin and the Chipmunks

5 out of 5

Wonderful movie. It is a fun movie of Dave trying to find a way to survive when he was dealt a bad hand.

Sweeny Todd

5 out of 5

Great movie but very gory near the end. If you don’t like musicals then u wont care about this movie otherwise this is a top quality movie.

Enchanted
4 out of 5
A very fun play on the princess stories. Though its more for a younger audience its. Its entertaining. The story is mostly of the tale of the sleeping beauty basically gone haywire. Its funny but sometimes a little to outrageous. Overall it was entertaining but I do not believe it was truly as good to call a future classic Disney story. For the graphics were great and wonderful. The artists who worked on did an amazing job. This tale has many jokes an is very funny overall.

I Am Legend
5 out of 5
Wonderful movie of a man who can change the course of the world after another persons mistakes of trying to play God. The truly frightening thing is this story in a way can be true with how much we tamper with biological engineering. As you know it’s a story of a man who is the last person alive in New York un effected by a virus that turns people into a zombie like creature whose more prim evil state of mind. Many say they did not like the ending I say the story is of a man who lost his family. he cared about them. They establish that very well and he is a man who believes in god but has lost some faith being the only man alive in NEW York. If I say anymore for those who have not seen it I’m giving it away. Which I have hinted at.

Seeker
3 out of 5
This story is entertaining. But for the hero (the seeker) he seems to have everything happen perfect for him. It doesn’t have much of a convincing climax. The hero’s struggles are to quickly told like it was one line in the script. The story is telling of over coming pride and greed but seems to be told very quickly.

Unseen
2 out of 5
For a small film this one seems to end up like so many films of its caliber it seems to be lacking. The whole story is written to tell you what happened at the beginning to make 2 friends fall apart from each other and tells what at the end but it seems a little odd that as turned to pure enemies they just go back to being good friends at the end. Its makes little since. The story is told by an observer who seems only there to assist the hero but the hero is afraid of the old friend and overly timid which fits a too common told story. The name of the movie derives from the one telling the story who is blind. Simply put its pretty good but seems something is missing.

Pirates in Callao
4 out of 5
For an animated low rendered 3d graphics this movie is pretty well done. Kids will love it. Its is pretty entertaining for a Spanish film and good play on history.

LAST WEEKS REVIEW
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*sorry for the late review of last weeks movies I’ve been busy at work for the whole week*
Bee Movie
3 out of 5
Worth watching but I feel for a Dreamworks movie it had very little jokes in it that made you laugh just thinking jokes of simply put a smaller caliber. It is funny at parts other parts its just “hmm” I say its up to you to decide. They could have done better with this one.

Tin Man
5 out of 5
A wonderful and amazing story playing on the wizard of oz story. It is very fun and well composed. This movie it’s a longer movie being it was aired on television as a mini series but the whole story is there and is complete. It’s a very entreating movie of magic and mystery.

Hitman
4 out of 5
This movie is great but I warn you it is a movie about a guy who kills for a living. Who’s parties that hired him betray him and in turn he takes them out for it. It’s a story of a man who is doing good to remove another wicked man from having power over a people.

Dan in Real Life
5 out of 5
A truly hilarious chick flick and fun movie over all. I say its worth watching and even owning. The jokes are great and placed properly. The story is well done and fun for all.

August Rush
4 out of 5
This is an amazing movie of music. The movie is about following what you are. And moving with what’s in you. An amazing movie about a boy who’s trying to find his place and family. Whose life is music and knows what the music in him is.

No Country for Old Men
4 out of 5
This movie is truly creepy. Well done but creepy the villain is a creature that today is an may be walking about. They are exactly what they seem. This movie is spectacular but I warn you its rated high for the violence. It’s a very fighting story. Many people will tell you they didn’t like it because of the ending. But if you ask them they’ll say it was great till then. What I don’t like to hear is people say I didn’t like it because of the ending. I just say this to those of you like that. The story wasn’t written for you it was written according to the book which it is based off of and if you don’t like it to bad it’s not your story.

Appleseed
5 out of 5
    For an animated movie this is very well done and entertaining the graphics will blow you away. And we’ve had this technology for a wile this is actually a low budget job as they said it. A new story of futuristic origin of saving lives through protecting another’s life.

Appleseed Ex Machina
5 out of 5
    In order to review this movie I had to review the first one. This is amazing I mean the graphics are almost real. The faces an body language appear as they do in real life. This story is about stopping the over controlling of mechanics in life and keeping It balanced. In a way that is.

Things we lost in th fire
Rating 4 out of 5
I couldn’t realy get into this movie its good an well written but beign that its about drug rehabilitai0on of a man wile he is with a woman (no beating of her in it wich is good)
I have nvever been on drugs so I don’t realy understand. The fact that the girl has a daughter from her ex and for some reason seems shocked when he says he cant stay. Event hough hes leaving for there safty as it appears.but the ending of this movie is truly worth it. I recommend it being the statement at the end. For it should be how we think of life as well. Just one day at a time.

This to me relates one day at a time to be truly happy not to be out of control in your life but to know you are in control and you are the one who commands ur life and to be free of aditction wich controls it is what this movie is about.

101 dalmations

Ratings 5 out of 5
What much do I need to say this si a classic Disney movie and even the extras are entertaining.

Into the wild

Rating of 5 out of 5
This movie of a boy who runs away from hisfamily to find his place in life and see the world is a superb piece and I say if you like it at least watch it because it is very well done. Simply put a quote form the movie works best “happiness is shared”

Awake

Rating 5 out of 5
Excellent movie I say it’s a must see movie. No it’s not a horror movie. It is about a man going to get a heart transplant btu the doctors have a ecrate of there own. Though he is under he is still awake an feels what is going on. This movie is well done and amaizing.

Unstable fables: 3 pigs and a baby
Rating 4 out of 5
This movie is a fun lil movie that is a different style play on the 3 little pigs story. It is a fun little movie and actually very entertaining.

Slipstream(2007)

Rating 1 out of 5

movie ratings [Feb. 27th, 2008|12:41 am]
Beowulf 
I rate this movie a 2 out of 5 being a good movie
            
-this movie was simply put as shriek meats 300. Not only was it noticeably digitally enhanced all and I mean all battle scenes were done digitally. I know simply put they could have passed it off as digital and reality but defiantly it is ridiculous
             
-to simply tell the story Beowulf is hired to stop grindel at any means possible. he does it in a ridiculous manner and easily then goes to kill grindel's mother of course he falls in love with her and as her revenge for killing her son she sends a dragon to kill defeat his glorious reign .

Highlander: The Source
 I rate this a -1 out of 5
            -I feel this movie truly insults the Highlander collection.  for one the villain is defiantly wearing a dress with pants and I mean noticeably second they  butcher queen with one scene of the villain saying line from one song and the other playing a poorly made version of princes of the universe done to heavy metal. and yes they even have mccloud in it wearing an outfit of a reject rocker of the 80's and the sword fighting jus seems to be wild movements done to animated speed ups of the characters fighting with extra blurs.  and don’t forget they seem to have an organization of the ones around there world witch seems to make little since being that there is only one as it ended. And don’t forget mcclouds girl still is alive in this one and seems also to be immortal being that the story is supposedly in the future slightly.
            -basically immortals need to get to source to become mortal again without killing more. Many seem to die in the process by villain who jus seems to be faster than a bullet witch makes little since. 

Rain in the Mountains
I rate this 4 out of 5
            A Native American man raised in the city but born on the reservations is told by a dead man who appears to be hung in a tree tells him that his destiny is to bring his people back to the old ways.  But of course being he no longer knows of the old ways but what he has heard of he attempts to bring his family to the old ways. This movie is hilarious being that he does not seem to know what he is doing.  For a small film this movie was well done and hilarious.

    That’s basically the synopsis as well

Legend of the Black Scorpion
I give this movie a rating of 3 out of 5
            Simply put it’s a story of uncle kills father. Uncle attempts to assassinate prince, prince meets girl but can’t have her.  Prince comes out of hiding an uncle tries killing him again. Prince gets girl.
            Yeah that’s a sloppy synopsis but don’t want to give much away in the story.  But this is a movie I recommend watching for how well done it is.

Justice League: The New Frontier
Rating of 5 out of 5
 This is a well done animated film dc is working on a lot of well made movies based on there comics.  This is another.
            -basically take the original justice society and that’s what we have here and it is well done.  This one is based as it should be with the quote of new frontier from Kennedy " we stand today on the edge of a new frontier,”
            A story of the world during the cold war era that has a super being that grey from within the world and got to the point it believed humans were a threat to the world.
 -this was such good movie I decided to buy it. 

The Darjeeling Limited
 Rating of 1 out of 5
    I feel insulted to have watched this movie
            -this movie had no story at all the possibility way that it seemed that they went out to India to get there mother before heading off to there father's funeral. Of course they go to her but she is helping in some small village being she is a nun. They never reach the funeral and seems. This movie seems to never follow a story except they fell apart as brothers and were trying to get back together that relation as a family. This movie is only run by the imagery and that is it. Or at least appears to be it

American Gangster
Rating of 4 out of 5
The rating is it should have had an intermission
             It is a great movie very well done jus a little long. When it picks up in action you are literally sitting not eh edge of your seat with how good it is.
            - Basically follows the mob drug wars and is based on a true story.  

Becoming Jane
Rating of 2 out of 5
            This story is to follow the life of Jane Austin but is truly slow I fell asleep 3 times in this movie and still followed it. Yes I eventually finished the movie all the way through. the only problem is that not only is it boring but she does not even get a guy she is interested in. and sadly it seems to end that way or at least to me it appears so.
 

I Could Never Be Your Woman
Rating of 3 out of 5
             This movie was very entertaining and a good chick flick. Yes I said it chick flick it’s not your conventional chick flick though. A story done in the classic style of movies with the main character being followed by Mother Nature telling her that life isn’t what she ants it to be but rather she can make it work for her.
 I don’t know how to really describe this story but it’s a pretty good one 

Dedication
Rating 3 out of 5
                  This movie is odd basically his illustrator for his children’s book passes away the company for his book says he must finish one more book. So they higher an illustrator for him. Oddly enough he gets mad at her after starting to fall in love with her but he loses her in a horrible way that most women don’t let a grudge like what she probably had go. Then he tries to get her back after she goes back to her ex. but somehow gets her back but none of it makes since. The movie over all is pretty good kind of dark and with some weird jokes
            This movie is a good example of the writers strike going on.  

Across the Universe
Rating 5 out of 5
 This was good enough I bought it.
            The story is a musical done to the music of Beatles. The period of the movie is the 60s during the Vietnam protests. The main character Jude coming to the us to at least see his father who knows nothing of him after stays in the us for a time and his adventure goes on finding a girl from unique places. This story is wonderfully done and superbly sung. This is a movie I record to at least to watch and make up your own choice but as I stand it is a wonderful movie. 

The Jane Austen Book Club
Rating 4 out of 5
Wonderful chick flick
             a bunch of women get together to create a book club because of troubles in there lives one meets a guy and invites him to join though he doesn’t know anything of the books or Jane Austin he is egger to learn and learn new things.  This movie is very cute and funny I do not want to give away much because of how good it is.  

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
Rating  1 out of 5
            This movie was crap. Not only does he not get the girl he falls for her and apparently I guess the writers thought to try and make it funnier by adding sexual references into it as if to make it lighter as a comedy. The reason it’s a 1 is being that it looked interesting enough for me to decide to see it. I regret that 

The Invasion
Rating 4 out of 5
            This movie was well done but kind of creepy if you are a religious person being that what the invader creatures are doing is the equivalent to Lucifer’s plan. For all of you who do not understand basically the invaders come down withal crashed space shuttle as a spore like creature and are transferred from one to another through physical contact.
            The story goes as the ship crashed its reads across the us but in foreign countries they are attempting to stop it wile in the US we are still doing what we always do jus calling it an epidemic and letting it be considered nothing but a flue. Witch basically allows it to spread easily... of course some people is immune but the main character is not one of them.  

The King of California
Rating 3 out of 5
            This movie was pretty good but seemed to be missing something. It’s a well done movie of daughter and father getting to know each other through strange experiences. The father decided to find gold in CA as he has maps and clues form old Spanish journals. They discover it being buried under a Costco and that’s when it gets interesting.
           This story is funny and serious at times.

Moving McAllister
Rating of 2 out of 5
            this movie is just a movie of a guy trying to get into a law firm has his potential boss give him an odd job moving his wild and clayish daughter across the nation to CA of course everything goes wrong and he is the nerd of nerds. I guess sit as story of opposites bit it doesn’t do that much justice to the story certain parts are funny that’s y it’s not all the way low rating but over not that great of a movie
       This is another example of the writers strike 

Family Guy: Blue Harvest
Rating 5 out of 5
            A truly hilarious movie. Simply put its family guy done to star wars ep 4. With a lot of good jokes and of course some I don’t care for but hey what movie doesn’t have that.  

Dragonlance
Rating of 4 out of 5
            This movie is a classic late 80s early 90s style movie of heroes saves the day. Truly a nostalgic style movie the animation is well done even. 

Other movies to be rated in the future.
Midnight Clear
Love's Unending Legacy
Arctic Tale
The Nanny Diaries
Battlestar Galactica: Razor
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

traditional vs digital [Feb. 11th, 2008|12:35 pm]
well it's time for another one of my rants

this little question is been in my head for a few yrs now i dont speak of traditional art vs digital art but rather what is considered professional?

is a sign done on a computer professional? what if the sign is a porly done sign?how bout if the sign is done by hand? ive taken graphic design in college an my professor said that my work must be digital even though i can produce a high quality graphic sign or logo on paper 10 times faster than it takes to produce it in a program then just upload it into a vector program commonly illustrator. though my digital programs at home are still faster than adobe and older. yes i use more programs but it runs my processor less than adobe software of any kind does. adobe software is good but on most systems it overwhelms the processor and takes to long to finally open. yes some of the graphic software i have is obsolete and the company no longer exists but the stuff they made was ahead of its time. but enough about software some people like the software i don't thats just preference. its the creator behind the work that makes it good.

now to my point of why i am typing this rant. recently at my work my bosses boss said no more hand made signs they dont look professional. he said that because hes talking to all stores not just the one i work at. but when a digitally made sign is just box text with a grey background it is a poor quality sign. now the signs ive done use the same textile as the product the sign is advertising and the companies colors. now isnt that better than traditional box text and grey backgrounds. now if the company gave color printers to is corporate businesses then it would give the sign a little more credibility but still look a little low quality. i probably spent the same tiem making my sign compared to who ever the company hired or has making there sins that they send via email to be printed tarpapered to sent to us via the traditional mail for everything else we receive. heck if i took the 5 minutes in fireworks to make the sign more fancy then i would but i wouldn't get extra pay for it and that sign would probably be used at various different stores not just the one i work at. there is still a lot of signs at the store i work at that are still up because they look better than the ones they want us to use and were made at least a week earlier on my spare time on one day when i was caught up with our daily tasks.

now as i know it a lot recently more than ever signs have been trying to look more traditional and use traditional similarities than look digital signs today don't want to look like signs of the 80's were graphic design was the fancy of Tron. this age is more realistic and classical style than the look of what can i SLAP out with large text. i dont think the company realizes that the signs thy want printed need to be greyscale friendly and look good at that. now everything is grey scale friendly but not everything looks catchy to the eye to have the person want to look at that sign. if you want the data to out there but just ignored these signs are perfect but if you want them to be seen u need more than box text. now I'm not saying make the sign fancy just make it a lil more catchy.

I've always been able to ell quality signs over low quality signs and much more being that my visual problem causes me to see textiles and more as imagery and for some reason a slightly 3D image. yes i know it sounds weird but has made it easier for me to know what is graphically sound. when you see a sign do you look at it and just pass by or do you really read it. most people look and pass by. if the sign is good someone will look at it and go hey look at that or something of that nature. that is what i am trying to point out with all of this. i want someone to do a second take at that sign or to actually look at it.

im not telling digitla artists to stop o traditional artists to give up and go digital im jsut saying if your going to make something just for the heck of it at least make it good enough that people want to see the sign instead of it just being there. yes i have not finished college but i have made fryers for a few companies and peoples parties. they are just local jobs bu8t thats because I'm still not sure on how to set up a website and take online buyers. i may still finish my education in art in college but i know that not everything needs to be digitally done if it is easier to do it traditionally and impose it digitally to something. yes i can take the time to do something digitally it just takes a very short time longer to make than i can drawing it up scanning it adding its color and arranging it to what it should be. heck a simple sign is easy to make digitally i just think they need to be a lil more cathy than plane box text or bold text.

for all you digital artists you are great at what you do and keep it up. i just don't have the visual patience to sit at a screen for so long. heck i cant even stare at a television for a wile without taking time to look at something else.

i guess my true question is what is considered professional?
well thats all for now. i just needed to vent a little.

rant [Oct. 26th, 2007|10:39 pm]
how come we live in a country that claims its free and when its having trouble it finds or creates trouble to distract from the delema. as i see it yes the other countries have trouble an yes somone sould intervene to fix it but home come a country that calls themself a first world counrt has so many problems of a 3rd or 4th world country. and even more is the fact that more people live in debt just to get educated than anyone in any other country. and even worse is the fact that the country isnt controled by the people its cotroled by how much money can be thrown at those people by the highest bider: weither it be drug companies banks it doesnt matter.

i believe it was best said in a movie wich was also a comic and yes its kind of redundent to quote a movie to deal with real life but its kind of true. "people shuld nto be afraid of there government but the government afraid of there people." now today i see this of governments so aftraid creatign fear in iots own peopel to avoid questioning almost anythign jus by controling the media and the fact that inorder for media to be ran it must be intresting so heres one bad news after another that is waht the midea is in the usa i stoped watching the news and started to realize how nice the world actually is i mean they actually track down bad new to talk about. the last tiem i watched the news was a wiel ago and this still burns me so much that i still recall it. the story was how a kid got shot with a b-b gun by an old man. now yes it sounds bad they even pushed it that way by making the old man sound liek a reclise and a grumpy person. and the one thing that they put in so simply an so lighty was that the fact is that neighbor hood were the old man lived allt he local kids would doorbel ditch his house. and he told them they better stop even went to there families and told them to watch there kids a lil more often he even called the cops but hey cops cant catch kids and ticket them for playign "friendly games" so the man finnaly took thing into his own hands after a few months of being antaganized. since the parrents didnt teach ther ekids what no and stop means i see it as the kid got what he deserved. nope in the news they sayid the kid was just playing a freindly game and was doing no harm. now wait a tick how is anoying an old man who is retired and tryign to enjoy his life doing no harm.
now heres a simular situation a kid his own house continuously poking and anoying the parrent usually will get yelled at or sent to there room or even spanked for being a nucence. now both of these are simuilar situations were the kid is dicaplined the parrent isnt considered a bad parrent but when a person who is not the family member deals witht he situation he is at falt. his method is crude and yes the childs parrents knew that he warned thema nd the kid that he would have to take things into his own hands if they dont how is he the bad guy.
i mean sieriouslyi grew up in a family of 4 boys had been beaten up by my brotyhers peopel i didnt know ive even had deadly weopns flung at me by a frustrated brother. u learna lesson dont do it agin. now that kid because his parrnets made him look liek the good guyy probably never learned that lesson of dont do it agin.

sorry i went a lil off on a tangent an yes im beign a lil extreem but goodness. i live ina country were though it is run by the rich wich is about 2% of the population of the world. the general public is taught to fear its neighbor instead of know thy neighbor. and fear its government. a people who fear there neighbor just as mucha t its government who they barely know except what they hear from a controled media. an ill say its nto a controled media the day we get the real story of jfk's merder. and believe it instead of a bullet that mystieriously moves in an out of one person without touchign the peopel next to them .

this is jus a rant on how things apear to me and yes im not the greatest of spellers its who i am an if u dont like it live with it.

happy easter? [Apr. 9th, 2007|12:31 am]
wel dinner was all ready fro tonight the day went ok. then when we all gathered to have dinner my dog matty. the one who just had puppies not less than 4 days prior started having secures. right now she is doing good 6 hrs latter(worth of seisures) or at least i hope. well i got to rest i jus hope she makes it through the night. she has such a strong will to live. shes had so many seisures that if she was a person she'd either be dead or in an acoma. but she is still concious and aware well awear for the most part. she is just majiorly weak and unable to stand even though she wants to at times. and tonight we have to take the babbies away from her till she is in a good enough condition to take care of them.

my hopes are in that she is a ot better in the morrning. dinner went ok but was majiorly destracted by thsi situation being that she is my dog and i have taken care of her since she was a pup knowing she is blind and deaf.
