A Visual Week...

during a severe thunderstorm in Norman, OK.

in Gryfino, Poland. The reason for the curve is still unknown

 3,000 pound anchor from what is believed to be the wreck of the pirate Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, is recovered from the ocean whereit has been since 1718, on Friday, May 27, 2011 in Beaufort Inlet, in Carteret County N.C.

My take on this week's events? Well, Mother Nature (and global warming) can be funny and unusual.
How can the trees turned all curvy like that (I think it's gnarly) and the melon-sized hail (wild and strange!)  But Mother Nature is kinda cool when it shows us we can bring in another lifeform, another cute lil penguin (ooh, baby! How adorable!)
On the other hand, we humans are kinda cool ourselves when we invent new stuff and discovered old artifacts like Blackbeard's flagship Queen Anne's Revenge's anchor. (How fascinating and interesting) After these years, they finally discovered something from the pirates' era. Some people say that Blackbeard is just a legend; this just proves he was real. The real deal. I wonder how many ships he plundered, how many cities he sacked. I wonder how he died. (to be contd)
Now then, what is considered art or even fashion? Imagine if those two Hungarian designers actually won.... It would absolutely, positively changed the social scene. But no respectable model or decent person would be caught dead 'wearing' that. I mean, oh...my...god...I can't believe it. Maybe it's art disguised as fashion, but still... get some fashion sense, Hungary! Wild n' Crazy! Lol!


















  



Leavin' a Legacy

I want to do something meaningful w/ my life.

I have big dreams
Get married to a really hot guy w/ a even hotter personality, have the cutest kids, become a career woman
BUT
        will a be one of those woman who places their career as 1st priority
        rather than having a family as a 1st priority?

My main goal in life is to find an utopia existence on this planet Earth-is there evn one out there?, where everybody gets along with everyone else and they live not in boring waste-consuming houses,
but in forest Yeh, they'll commune with nature. Life will be grand. Oh so grand!
Who needs the high life when we could be tree huggers. Everybody is so materlistic like they can't live w/o this or that tacky geegaw.

Senseless Police Brutality Comin' to a Streetcorner Near Ya

Didja hear about the senseless act of police brutality right in front of San Francisco Dept. of Public Health? The cops shot a man in wheelchair! Granted, he was stabbing tires and one fellow officer but there he's not dangerous by any means.

How could this have happened? Incredible!

Here's the vid shot by a passerby with his camera phone:

I guess I now know that police can prey on the weak and helpless. Most of the homeless are mentally ill; others aren't. . My god, they said they should have Tasered the guy in the wheelchair. I mean, the guy is already disabled. You wanna create more problems for the man? In other words,  the cops wanna justify this incident by saying they should've tranquilized the disabled victim. 
But they should be trained to treat the disabled like decent human beings They should have sensitivity training on how to treat disabled folks.
Everytime I see a vid of police of dissing the disabled folks, I feel sick. It's like we don't have the same rights as our fellow citizens. And to have it seen right in our own backyard, that's unnerving. I guess it could happened everywhere, but you don't want it to happen in our own San Francisco. But as the vid shown above proves, it could happen anywhere! Sad but true.

Advocacy is the answer.

4 R the  peers n' those who are unable to speak up, I say, let's join together and let's not let any authority stand in our way
let's educate those who need understanding patience& knowledge With knowledge comes power to do right by us.

Godspeed!



Police Brutality Has Taken On a Whole Another Level

What has this world come to?
Police think their so above the law (they're not) that they're beating on weak and the helpless (elderly and disabled). It is totally and completely unacceptable! Imagine the emotional and physical reprecussions on the poor victims.

Police is supposed to honor and serve our citizens of our country by respecting and listening to them, not brutalizing them for no good reason. Cops should treat us citizens like their own kin with respect and kindness. I thought in this day n' age we're so pass that. No wonder our citizens of our world don't even trust cops nowadays cause the cops show no reason to be trusted, going out to brutalize our most vulnerable citizens of our country-the elderly n' disabled.

Even if the cops beat the weak n' helpless, they won't get fired-they're above the law- even though they should. The top cop will look pass it. Since they are cops, they've the law on their side, which is totally n' completely unacceptable; all cops who perform any kind of police brutality should get fired, never to work in the line of duty again.

Check out this video of police brutality.

Good  thing it was on video and that there were witnesses. Maybe the victim can sue the department for emotional and physical damage? And get the guys fired? It was sick and and mostly disturbing, watching this. I can't believe what went down.

Pakistan Corrupt Gov't

Were the Pakistani govt covering up Osama bin Laden's whereabouts. The Pres. of Pakistan, Ali Zardari, could've known where he was staying cos he was staying in Islamabad, which was near a military base. They could've have gone and did the deed a long time ago. They were covering for bin Laden.
So now all US aid to the Pakistan is frozen until further investigation.

The question of the moment is: Were the Pakistani govt trying to cover up the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden or not?

¡¡Felίz Cinco de Mayo!!

Hey ev'erybody! Latinos, Hispanics, Chicanos (and also other peeps of other ethnicities) let's celebrate Cinco de Mayo! Kinda like Independence Day for Americans but it happened in Mexico.
Let's celebrate w/ eat (traditional Mexican food), drink (both Mexican alcoholic drinks and some not-many numerous kinds!) Ah how I love the abundant Mexicana choices! Lovin' it, let's us celebrate till there's no tomorrow!
As there is ev'ery year, there's a Cinco de Mayo fest this coming weekend! At where else? Dolores Park from 10am to 6pm Check it guys n' dolls! Take advantage of the sunny weather to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

¡¡Felίz Cinco de Mayo!!

Conspiracy Theory: osama bin laden really dead?!

As if you really and truly believe the Al-Queda leader-thesupposedly  mastermind behind the terrorist attacks to end all terrorist attacks (9/11) is really and truly dead. Frankly, I'm a lil skeptical AT THAT! cos he's been so elusive for so long. Lemme the actual corpse and I'll believe it.

!!!CONSPIRACY THEORY ALERT!!!

People are saying the real Osama bin Laden died ages ago of kidney failure, no less. that they got the wrong guy and the real bin Laden died right after the attack on 9/11 and never admitted to the atrocity.




Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure in 2001
denied terrorist attacks on World Trade Center

  

White House mouthpiece

















Do you notice that this guy who's supposedly was bin Laden came up whenever Cheney & Bush's polls are down during the Bush administrarion?
Even if he did died, won't they just retaliate?
I mean, he supposedly killed millions of people (exaggeration, ok 1000s) but he was a living being-we shouldn't be celebrating his death (like we celebrated when another dictator died by the name of Saddam Hussein perished, absolutely, positively perished!!)
Murder for Murder - what does that teach our kids? that murder is right? Why do we condone murder? Are we that desensitize to violence?
Killing the guy who is supposedly osama bin laden won't end terrorist attacks-it will only continue the reign of terror! Don't they worry about retribution?
This victory is gonna be bittersweet and maybe short-lived.
Possibly this is all an election ploy by Obama or not-maybe we did killed the wrong guy who's been impersonating bin Laden.

With Hussein n' now Osama bin Laden dead, are we really safe? I mean, are we really and truly safe? Don't we worry about retaliation, fear that there might be more terrrorist attacks coming ahead...

One we have to say for sure, we just have to live for the moment, enjoy ev'ry day as if it's the last.
