Random Thoughts

I haven't been in a writing mood lately.  I honestly think I need to start medicating myself, because I have the attention span of an avid porn watcher.  I haven't watched a movie or a TV show in almost two weeks.  So here are some things I've been thinking about....a lot.

I have one question for my friends who are Romney supporters.  How can you vote for someone who criticizes Obama for job creation when his state was 47th during his tenure as governor?

I am currently obsessed with twitter.

I had Kilt nachos yesterday for the first time in about two months.  And two wings.  I was happy.

My stay in the hospital changed my views on a lot of things and a lot of people.  Mostly positively.

As much as I hate him, because of his affiliation with the Yankees, I'm starting to appreciate Derek Jeter more and more and his imprint on the record books.

I have absolutely no desire to know anything about 50 Shades of Gray.  Life has taught me, if everyone loves something, it is probably crap.

Obama's presidency and Trayvon Martin's death has revealed more racism than I ever imagined existed.

I play words with friends with more people daily than I speak to.

If you are male and you don't know who Sara Jean Underwood is, you're missing out.  Quite possibly the cutest woman on the planet.

I find it funny how when you are passionate about knowledge, people call you a know-it-all, but when you speak completely based on opinion, people call you smart.

I don't think there has ever been a time in my life where I am less in the loop on current music.  I know nothing that is on the radio now.

At the end of every session of my after school program, I give out lollipops.  This year, of the 43 kids in the program, 26 kids said thank you.  Before you think that is awful, it's the first time in 12 years of doing this that more than half the kids thanked me.

It's amazing how people always say "you should do what's best for you," but when you do it, they are the first to tell you were wrong.

I was actually thrilled by Johan Santana being the first Met to throw a no-hitter.  Seems like a genuinely great guy.

We're all sick of the Kardashians, but you have to admit, it's a damn good looking family.

I don't know everything there is to know about politics, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that 90% of our country vote without any concern for the policies of the nominees.  It's scary that arguably the most powerful man in the world is elected by people who know nothing, nor do they care what they stand for.

I have eaten more English Muffins in the last year than I have in the previous forty years.  Seriously.

My hair is currently the longest it's been since I was about 17.  Every female I know seems to think it looks so much better than it did short.  Sadly, none of these females wants to sleep with me.

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...

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...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
