#100DaysOfHopper Day 98 (Cats & Dogs)

Day 98: Why are dogs a guy pet and why are cats a woman's pet? Why when people see a dog, do they immediately say "what's his name?" So commonly the same people will say "what's her name?" when referring to a cat. Why are single guys so often seen walking their dogs and single women are so commonly known as cat ladies?

I think the answer is simple. Guys need someone to worship them. They need every insecurity fulfilled and need to know they are the main reason for the object of their affection's living. Basically, men are insecure freaks, who once out in the world with out their mommies and daddies, immediately feel the need to be superior to something. They name their dogs after cars, motorcycles and the devil, hoping that the testosterone filled name will somehow validate their masculinity. What they don't realize is that dogs will pretty much worship whichever person holds the food bag and is willing to take them for a walk. Like adult males, eating, sleeping, shitting and being goofy are the components of a dogs perfect day.

Then there are feline friends. Oh yeah their cats. C'mon, this has become such a distinct stereotype, that we've nicknamed a woman's sexual organ after a freaking cat. Cats are very simple. They like to be fed and left alone, unless of course they want attention and then, and only then, if you aren't giving them all of the attention, you're going to get clawed or bitten. Cats act graceful and when they look stupid, which is quite often, they immediately look to see who saw them. Think of a woman looking all sexy who slips wearing heels. Before making sure they haven't exposed themselves, they immediately survey the area to see who saw and if witnessed, immediately they stick their nose in the air, similar to their feline counterparts tail, showing us that we weren't worthy of witnessing that moment.

Both animals also act like their gender counterparts when times are tough. Dogs, like men, simply acknowledge something is wrong and look at you with that "what do you want me to do" face. They curl up next to you and let you know they care, but the second you move, it's immediately all about them and what you're getting them or doing for them. Cats on the other hand are like women. They don't care so much that something bothers you on the outside, but they want to get to the bottom of it. If your leg hurts, they will curl up next to it. If it's a stomach ache, they will climb aboard and if it's your head, they become almost as much of a problem, trying to press their purring body against your face. Then when you move, it's like the world is ending...they jump in fear that something worse is about to take place. Then when they realize you're just brushing your teeth, they go back to their slouched position and give you the look of "oh I knew it was nothing, I was just stretching."

If these aren't all accurate reasons why the stereotype has been confirmed, then let me ask you this. A dog will spend all day chasing his tail around, knowing he can't get it and a guy would sooner not get to where he is going, than to ask someone for directions. A cat...well a cat buries and hides it's poop. #100DayOfHopper

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...
