Welcome to my blog

Good Day All,

I have just started this blog as a way to voice my opinions on various topics when I feel it necessary. Many times I feel I'm slightly overbearing in sharing my feelings, and I felt that this might be a way to voice them without having to hurt anyone's feelings (directly). Anyone who reads this is more than welcome to comment, as I always welcome a debate, and don't always see the world as others do.

In the next few weeks I will probably piss off some sports fans, some political know-it-alls, some foodies, some movie buffs, and some friends. I mean no harm, but there are times I feel like my word is the law. Hey this is my blog and I can say what I want, while others are free to disagree and if they so choose, start their own blog.

I am new to this and right now it is 3am and I am expected in at work in five hours. I guess the first thing you will learn about me is I am a bit of an insomniac. I guess I would classify myself as a middle-of-the-night insomniac as I have a hard time falling asleep, but once awoken, I find it nearly impossible to fall back asleep. This is tough to deal with at times, but I usually have a day or two where it isn't a problem. I was supposed to go for sleep analysis this winter, but blew it off. Possibly a stupid move, but who knows. Maybe I slept well that night.

Please be sure that my upcoming blogs will not be this boring and I hope to really get some reactions out of those who read. Positive or negative, it doesn't matter. I look forward to sharing my views with friends and people I haven't met...although how they will find me I'll never know.

For now I will say goodnight as I try and get some rest.

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Lists

Americans are obsessed with lists. Christmas Lists, Top Ten Lists, Shopping Lists, Hell, when I was a kid, one of the most popular books was aptly titled, The Book of Lists. We're obsessed. I make lists all the time and while I try to use the universally accepted limit of ten items, they rarely end up that way. That being said, lists are a terrible thing. I have never, not once in my life, used a shopping list. You know what I'm good at? Shopping. I buy what's on sale, forgoing the avocados this week and buying some peaches that looked ripe and at a bargain. I walk down every aisle and find things I'd never think to add to the holy list, but now see the large can is but 89 cents. Lists keep us from exploring. The inspiration for this, was not a rebuttal to a friends first blog, in which she lists things, proclaiming lists are a part of her life. No, this was inspired by a comical moment had at 5:18 in the morning. I went to get a glass of water and gazed in the frid...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...
