Orange and Black Day doesn't count.

so it's Halloween.. and my kindergarten aged child is not allowed to wear her Halloween costume to school.. why? "Because we have so many students who do not believe in Halloween (religious reasons) or who are not permitted to participate in Halloween, or who come from war torn countries." Umm.. so let me get this straight.. you're telling me that to protect the rights of new immigrants to MY community, you are taking away MY child's right to participate in OUR cultures holidays?! You've got to be shitting me. I was born and raised here, and so was my child, so what makes their rights take precedents over mine and my child's?  You don't celebrate Halloween, fine, don't. But don't take away someone else's right too. I understand the no guns / weapons thing. That's just common sense.. all costumes should correspond with the school's dress code.. but not allowing children to dress up at all? That's bullshit. And no, "Orange and Black Day" does not count.

Bella Swan, the biggest setback to feminism since the Sandwich.

Ladies and gentlemen.. the count down to the beginning of the end is on!! Part one of Breaking Dawn is released in less that a month. then, a year after that, part two. Last year, I sponsored "Kill a Cullen" on Bloodlines.. this year.. ah hell, just let the mocking be brutal. Take no prisoners, and give no ground. I applaud Stephanie Meyer on her success, and Hollywood, for equally turning it into the biggest joke. I could do a slew of Twilight jokes, and Edward jokes, but that would just be cheap funny. Here is a protagonist we are supposed to relate to.. and she is so mind numbingly brain dead in the movies. If she had two brain cells to rub together.. but that would require brain cells. Girls, let's be honest. There is a safety switch wired into our subconscious, similar to how you cannot drown yourself by holding your own head under water, or how your eyelids close when you sneeze. We all have this instinct for when to get the hell out of the relationship. We fight this instinct and call it love. Bella has the most dependent nature in EVERY relationship she has. She needs her mom and her dad to need her. If left alone, they could be perfectly competent adults, her dad is a police chief for crying out loud. Edward, she is just plain dependent on, same with Jacob. So my dear anti-twi-hards, why go for the cheap and easy funny, look closer at what we mock, and find the deeper issues, and we will find more material. Everyone can make a fart joke, but it takes real comedians to do political stand up. Keep Calm, and mock on.

ok. who ordered the hurricane?

I love how it's not my drama.. It's the people around me.. and my kiddo has determined that she wants a baby brother. Given my single status, that's not going to happen anytime soon. I never really wanted kids, and mine was a surprise, so more kids? Right now, I'm saying no, no way in hell. I have enough troubles balancing a budget as is. Babies are expensive. A gift from God and a blessing, but expensive. I have other financial needs to take care of first, like a car, bills, rent, saving for a house, glasses, braces, school fees, and the list continues. I cannot afford another kid anytime soon, so my kiddo is out of luck.

These aren't the droids your looking for.

What's with hating your ex's new one? It seems to be predestined without provocation. Is it in our nature or just mine? I mean.. she literally makes me sick to my stomach. I'm still friends with him on social media, and we parted amicably, and I've had (and ended) a relationship since him.. but the one he chose? She makes me nauseous. "I wuv you sooooooooo much" Gag. Barf. Not a mature reaction, I know..and honestly I have tried very hard to not hate her.. to give her a chance.. but Christ on a cracker.. she's pushing it.. If wishful thinking made things happen.. oh wait.. that's premeditation.. never mind. You didn't read anything. Move along.

Not my Brightest Day...

So, after working 26 hours in three days (part time job), my brain has become primordial ooze. While standing in a Halloween  isle at the store I looked at my dad and said "It's October, isn't it." He damn near hit me. I'm a dumb-ass. Shun me.

Who's Driving This Bus?

Ever have the feeling where your brain has the consistency of warm Jell-o? That's about how I feel right now. I know I have brain cells, and I know they are functioning because I'm breathing, but other than that.. no juice left in the brain battery. I know there are other, more important things to be doing now, but I just can't seem to bring myself to do them.. So here's to procrastination.. may everything wait until tomorrow.

insert funny comment here.

Huh.. trying to write something everyday when you have no life is HARD!! Seriously, all I do is work, and raise my kid. There is sleep and food involved somewhere..oh, and coffee. Lovely lovely coffee. Whomever looked at the coffee bean and decided to roast it, smash it and mix it with boiling water.. THEY ARE AWESOME!! That being said, whomever picked the beans out of the cat poop and decided to do the same thing.. Gross. Just gross. I don't care how good that coffee is, it came out of cat poop.

Animal Crackers

I miss when life was simple.. Boys had cooties.. Parents NEVER had sex. Movies were filled with intrigue, cigarettes and alcohol. Seat belts were a suggestion, and the economy was looking up. Now it's all cell phones, sex and easy money. No one wants to WORK for a living any more.. a little hard work never hurt any one. People should take care of their own, before worrying about other countries. Remember our parents telling us to mind our own business? Maybe as countries, we should take that to heart.. There is no one way of thinking, no one path to righteousness. Who is to say one way is better than another? If we took care of our country and our citizens needs first, the world would be in better shape... Like how can America even consider building a wall along the 49th parallel? They can't afford it. They can't even afford social security, or health care for their citizens. They can spend millions of dollars invading a foreign country to get their oil (lets be honest, it's why they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan) but can't fix their economy. They should take care of their own before screwing up everyone else's country. <breathe> Like I said.. I miss it when things were simple. Like when people complained when gas prices were over $0.36/L..

I married myself today

I take myself to have and to hold, from this day forth, for better and for worse for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health. I promise to be true to my self in good times and bad, to love and honor myself all the days of my life.

I have had enough of people telling me I need a man in my life. I don't need a boyfriend, a husband.. I need a friend to stand by me and to accept me as myself. who better to do this than myself? I already know my faults, my virtues, my hopes, my dreams and my downfalls. I know what I want out of life and how I'm going to get it. I'm a plus size woman and I love my curves. I'm sexy and fun, and I don't need to be asking myself " Do I look fat in this?" I have confidence, and I don't need someone undermining me. I can lie to others, but not to myself. I am my best friend, and I will never leave myself for another. If more women married themselves, to make themselves happy, there would be a lot less divorces. So here's to happiness, for all the days of my life. <3

Sparkles Sparkles Everywhere

So my kiddo decided we should watch the Twilight movies, all of them.. Did I mention she's 5?  She keeps asking questions: "What happens next? Why are they doing that? Why is it always raining? why is she carrying that? (referring to the cactus) Why is the music so sad? Does that man die? Is he a police man?  That's right.. we're only 15 minutes into the first movie... I love watching movies with my kiddo, she's always so honest about her thoughts. "She's fine!! It was not a car accident , right mommy? It almost was, but it wasn't" I love how she answers her own questions.... oh, and she talks to the characters on screen.. she loves to lecture Edward... "Stop lying! You were right over there and then you weren't. TELL THE TRUTH!" She's more entertaining than the movie.. and she finds Mike irritating. Apparently he's stupid and annoying.. "and you can't park beside the grass. you have to park in the parking lot." Did I mention she's a smart kid?  and now.. she's talking about giant babies.. and has lost me completely...

So... This is new....

Ok... So basically I decided to do this because I'm lonely and it beats the hell out of talking to myself. Apparently talking to cyber space will make me feel less crazy.. so here goes...

I'm an angry person.. i never used to be.. i mean i always had a temper, but now it seems like everything sets me off..

  • Skinny girls who complain they're fat 
  • People who can't take the effort to type whole words 
  • People in the front of a line talking on their phone
  • Asshole drivers, who yell at pedestrians crossing in crosswalks
  • People who talk just to here their own voice
  • People who inbreed their cats
  • Doctors who don't take moms seriously
  • How America will meddle in any other world issue rather than fix their own
  • How my ex moved to Edmonton to be with his new girlfriend and her three kids (when he couldn't stand to watch his own)
  • How my ex will spend money on stupid shit, while I don't get a dime in child support
  • how when you're pregnant, everyone touches your stomach
  • when people ask a question, then get pissed off/upset when you give them an honest answer
  • how twilight vampires sparkle in sunlight instead of decompose
  • when no matter how closely i watch what i eat.. i still gain weight
  • how we all ask for acceptance, but refuse to accept others as they are.. yes even i do that..and it irritates me..
SO this turned into a bitch list, which was not the point..
