Quit Complaining-there are people less fortunate than you!

This video shows that there are people from the 3rd world country who are less fortunate than us in this world and we shouldn't complain.

Compared to the people who populate those 3rd world countries, we are much better off than them, so what are we complaining about?  We should be more thankful and giving and less complaning and whining all the time. We should appreciate what we have when across the country in the 3rd world countries the people have very little in abundance.Let's just be thankful that we are fortunate to have a home and a roof over our heads.

While we take life for granted (ie.: school, playing w/ our friends) they take nothing for granted. They take advantage of every single moment to earn their keep. While our parents struggle, the kids help out the parents in the 3rd world countries not cos they have to but cos they want to. Nothing is handed to them. They had to struggle. If you don't like salad or any healthy food (ie,: fruits or vegetables), don't waste it. Think of the people in the 3rd world countries who live day after day hungry cos they have nothing to eat cos they have no money to buy the food. Don't go on a diet cos people are starving in 3rd world countries. Appreciate your folks b/c kidsfrom 3rd world countries are orphans. Life isn't a game to them cos they have no form of entertainment. Poor kids. Be happy you have a decent place to live in. cos most of the kids from the 3rd world countries don't have a decent place to live in-most of 'em live in the streets, probably begging for food or cash for decent clothing. Poor kids. They got no choice in what kind of brand shoes they'll be wearing from day-to-day cos they've only one pair of shoes while we get mad for not getting the pair of shoes we want for X-mas or our birthday.

So don't complain anymore. Just pray. Pray for those who are less fortunate than us. Don't always be selfish; be more selfless.

On a related note, why are there so much cutbacks?  The rich is doing all these devious. lowdown. backhanded cutbacks. Cutting, cutting, cutting away at our economy to fit their budget-the rich man's budget. Aren't the politcos supposed to help the poor and not the rich? Instead, they give tax breaks to the rich and not to the poor. I know a socioeconomic group that needs the tax cut more than the rich and that's the poor.

Marijuana

D'y'all believe that marijuana can be medical purposes? D'y'all believe it should be legalize under the federal law?

Scientists find no reasonable cause for medical purposes.m marijuana (mary jane); the only reason one takes mary jane is to get high. It causes you to mentally breakdown.  It's like drinking alcohol-you have blackouts, you don't know what you are doing or who you are. It makes you feel not yourself. Mary jane is like an upper (or is it a downer?) 

I know marijuana is legal under state law, but what about federal law? While we're at it, why don't we legalize cocaine and heroin too?  And Xtacsy too?

I wonder what it feels like to get high...  Not only on life, but coke and heroin and Ecstasy. Sometimes I feel down, so I want to try some kind of drug to give me some sort of a high. Anti-depressant wouldn't work, so would illegal, street drugs work? Something to contemplate...

An Immoral World

What If..
The world was immoral. People have no conscience. There would be no laws. People would get away w/ whatever, including among other things murder, domestic violence. There would be no jails for the lawbreakers cos there would be no laws to break. No reform school cos there would be nothing to reform. No hospitals cos there would be no injuries to report.
Of course, there would be chaos above chaos. There would be no end to the mayhem, destruction.
People would get away with all these crimes, but they wouldn't be called crimes cos no one has a conscience.
On the other hand, life wouldn't be sooooooooooooooo boring (like now) It would be one trill ride after another.

Peace Lovin'

Let's make peace not war!

As news reached us of war in Libya started by the UNITED STATES via missile attack, I can't help but ponder why we can stop fighting and starting wars.
Let me paraphrase Obama here. He said he's gonna bring home the troops home from Iraq (and probably Afghanistan). I think he shut down Guantanamo Bay. But here he is: his administration starts yet another war. Haven't they ever heard of peace talks?
I thought with this new presidential administration, there will be a certain sense of peace. Instead, AMERICA has started a new war. What kind of esample are we setting for other nations" That we should resolve all our probs w/ fighting, death, chaos, mayhem; the list of destruction goes on and on
I know the military goes to serve our country, but, here's the cynic in me, it's not serving when our country folks are dying on the battlefields.

                                                               Let's make friends not enemies

                                                                  1) listen to others

                                                                      a) take advice from others

                                                                      b) take constructive criticism

                                                                  2) be respect to self and others

                                                                  3) be nice to others and vice versa

Shameful love

Love me
hello lovebirds everywhere!
whisper sweet nothings in me ear
kiss me
saturate me with love till morning's dawn
love Godforsaken me
love me tender always
                                   n
                         forever
                                   n
                         forevermore
Be optimistic cos love will surely prevail
It will triumph over all things-
Yep, ALL that is holy

Hate me
hello haters!
life is built on lies,
                       deceit,
                       anguish
don't tempt fate;
let fate tempt you
be the sexy
          saucy
          evil
                dominatrix
                seductress
                temptress
To every optimist, there's a pessimist
Life-it's filled with so many temptations
BUT if you're human, you'll succumb to all temptations to satisfy your lust (of life, sex,, food cravings, etc)  Just the other day, I was able to resist the temptation of buying McDonald's although I love walking by and enjoy the aromas. Does that make me less than human? I went, Holy Junk Food Addict! but I didn't buy anything cos knowing me I'm a diet. I would eat and eat for days and days and then go on a diet. Life sucks, but we all have to suck it up sometimes.

Apocalyse Now!

Global Warming or Apocalyse?
In regard to the destruction in all parts of the world, which include earthquakes in Haiti and China and this latest tragedy the 8.9 earthquake in Japan, which started tsunami in mostly all of the West Coast. (Good thing I don't live near the ocean!) And you thought California was earthquake country. Now the whole world has turned into a earthquake zone. No one is safe. No one but no one! (Too melodramatic!) Seriously, it even snowed in Cali, where it never ever snowed before unless we have a real cold front. I'll bet the hole in the ozone layer is really deep and huge now.
The sad thing is, we could've prevented this tragedy from happening by taking care of our home we called the planet Earth. Now it has all gone into chaos just because of the way we treat it. We are killing our planet by driving air-sucking cars run on gas, which is guzzling our money cuz they are raising the prices each time we need to pump gas; instead we could ride our bikes or walk as a form of exercise to work. People needn't go to the gym to exercise. If they want to save money and want to get some fresh air since they are cooped up working a 9-5 job, they should go out to some exercise instead  of wasting money on a treadmill  or some other kind of exercise machine or even a membership at a gym. And then there's recycling, composting. I say, if you can't reuse it, then you definitely can't  recycle it.

It's not too late to make a difference before the earth succumbs to humankind's mistreatment.

Smitten

I love ice cream! I mean, who doesn't? Expect for those who are lactose intolerant (poor suckers, they're missing out on a wonderful junk food)
Can't hardly wait for this new ice cream parlor (kinda old-fashioned, I know, but anyways...)
Smitten itself is kinda old-fashioned & contemporary at the same time.
The style of the shoppe is old-fashioned but the ice cream ain't Here's the scoop on the new ice cream shop: the ice cream is made-to-order liquid nitrogen ice cream, to sound redundant. Can't wait for March 21st when the shop opens although they have a tasting around the 14th. What it has, you ask? Oh the ordinary vanilla, chocolate, plus some fruity flavor pertaining to the season. They also have salted caramel. And they offered handmade pizzelle cones. Their very own chefs, Robyn Lenzi & Andrew Shaw created the toppings baked, spiced almonds for salted caramel or freshly baked chocolate shortbread cookies for vanilla

If you go, it's in Hayes Valley called Smitten. Tasting's around the 14th and the grand opening's on the 21st.
Be there or be square!
Watch it being made the contemporary way, then enjoy ice cream the old-fashioned way.
You when you're up gearing for spring when you read about ice cream news and can taste the mouth-watering liquid nitrogen ice cream while reading this blog entry, right?

Stop People Hatin'

Stop hatin'-and that means using, abusing, misusing physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally. Parents should not be labeled as 'parents' or adopt kids if they can handle being parents even all they're doing is abusing, using, misusing physically, mentally, and verbally. I could on and on and on. Sad that we can all treat everybody w/ respect esp. helpless lil kids who did nothing but be kids. No wonder kids from abusive situations learn to be abusive when they're older b/c that's all they've ever known, how to treat each other. I'm grieving for the twins who were practically burned to death and the girl was starved; while the girl twin died the boy twin survived but think of how he'll be as he grows up w/o his twin sister and remembering being w/ those awful 'foster parents.'  I'm not only grieving for the twins but for the million other kids who are mistreated by their biological, foster or adoptive parents. I feel so sad. My heart goes out to them.

Budget Cuts Redux

Call me a cynic, but I don't know what all the rallying and such will help. The gov't won't listen to us 'little people.' All the shouting and screaming-the Arc & other demonstraters called it rallying-wouldn't help in the slightest b/c they'll (the gov't) damn well cut the budget. What good would it do?
Maybe I'm not a cynic, I'm a realist 'cuz face it, the economy is in bad shape-the worst shape we've seen since the Depression in 30s. Gas prices are going up-all the way to $5! Can you believe it?! Wish we can go back to the olden days when gas were $1.
But I digress...
Even though I understand why the gov't need to cut the budget, do they need to cut the budget at the expense of the disabled? We need our day programs-it's just like an adult school, a place to learn and make new friends. Do they cut the public school system? No. Then why cut the services for our disabled citizens? I tell you, this breaucracy system is totally unfair,  unjust, and uncalled for. They think just cuz we're disabled we can be taken full advantage of. So not fair. But I guess this is how the system works. Wish there was a way to break thru the red tape to demand rights for us disabled folks.
