Things On My Mind

I have so many things on my mind this week, it is boggling, really. Let’s start off with some good things on my mind lately like our Eastern Caribbean cruise!! It is only 1 month away now, so it is coming and I can’t wait. I want/need to get away from it all with hubby.

Not much left to prepare for the cruise, we just need to go check out a place we are planning on kenneling our dogs at, it is nearby, convenient and affordable but we must visit and get a feel for the place first. Everything else is taken care of already, well we need to buy new clothes for the cruise…that’s it though.

Another good thing, I actually planned something for this weekend. If you know me, I usually wait for hubby to come up with something or decide. I think those days are just about over, although I think I still want him to make plans sometimes. So this weekend we will be downtown Jacksonville, enjoying each other, the symphony, The Landing, some drinks and some more music. I am really looking forward to it.

Onto the things that are bothering me or have rubbed me the wrong way so far this week. There is so much, most of it, maybe all of it does not directly effect me but has sparked something in me, something like rage, anger, sadness, curiosity or is just making me wonder what the hell is wrong with people in general. This might be a long post,lol.

Let’s start with BP Oil Company:

WTF is wrong here…it’s been 44 days that oil has been seeping into our water and the best they come up with is a sorry ass “I am sorry”. Does not work for me. It really sucks when you hear people talking about not going on there vacation because the place they might be heading to will have an oil slick. No family wants to be swimming in oil. I live in Florida and it is expected to make it’s way around. I am not happy with this, I enjoy ocean swimming but I sure as hell wont if oil threatens the water. At this point what can they do…right? The damage is done, fixing it now is just a band-aid that most likely wont hold. Is it the end of the world? No, but it does not make the earth any greener and the effects will not be known for years to come.

Rep. Linda Sanchez:

She is off her rocker and needs to go back on her meds! You can not say that Arizona’ illegal immigrants law was inspired by white supremacists. Give-Me-A-Break!!!! If you are going to play the blame game, direct it at the right person(s). I however support parts of the Arizona law. Why is it so hard for people to get that you are more than WELCOME here in the United States as long as you do it LEGALLY. I take no issue with people coming here BUT do it the right & legal way. You are not awarded special rights just because you cross the border you earn them by doing what’s right.

John Mark Karr:

There really is not to much to say about this sick bastard. Seriously. He was odd before and now he has brought it all to a new level of sick oddness that I am having a hard time understanding but really…do I want to understand this sick man? Ummmm NO! Wait..is he a man or woman now? I am not sure, the police say he is now a woman trying to recruit little girls into his sick, twisted mind. God have mercy on his soul!

Toddlers in Tiaras:

Wow, do I even want to get started on this…it kind of ties in a bit with the story above on John Mark Karr. TLC is keeping true with being called “The Learning Channel” because if you have EVER seen this show you learn alot about some mothers and how not to aspire to be them. I am sickened by some of these parents, really. I don’t even know why we have pageants like these. What does it all mean in the end? I could care less that your 4 year old has been named the hottest kid around. These children end up looking like some things I wont even say because it is not their choice or fault. I want to know what is wrong with the parents. Do you ever notice the fathers around? It’s rare and the ones that are in the show are there because their wives have their balls in their pockets and they are to scared to refuse to go. I really wish these men would stand up for their daughters, let them know that they are worth much more than being pretty, if you can call it that. This is not a place for kids, its for the mothers, spoiled, bratty mothers who are damaging there young children and for what.. a title…a tiara…no it’s for the money that can be made. Such sad people. I could go on and on about this, I really feel for the kids but they can not control what happens to them at this young age. Shame on the parents.

Next….

Kate Plus 8:

Gag. Why is this woman still on TV? Another TLC show, another lesson on what kind of mother you should NOT be. If there is to be less of the kids on the show now, what the heck is it going to be about? Hrrmmm. Is Kate going to sit there for a half hour and talk about herself once a week or talk about Jon and what a douche nozzle he has been and still is. The show was dead before. It will be canceled soon. TLC needs to rethink it lineup.

Defecating in Soda:

Yeah, you might not want to read this story. It’s short though, not much to it and left me with more questions than one would really need answered on this subject. Not a well thought out prank at all. Weird, gross and makes me wonder what is wrong with this 17 year old, he is not a little boy. I honestly do not remember ever reading of such a thing being done by a child and that is who I would expect such a thing from, not someone who is almost a man, a man by at least age standards. Fail.

I could keep going, but the post would be pages and pages long. I am tired of stupid people or smart people making bad choices or stupid choices. Thinking is a good thing sometimes. Its people like in the above stories that make my head spin and make me wonder about this world we live in. Yes, most of these stories are superficial crap that wont effect me but they are part of this world we all live in and frankly it sucks. Enough with my rantings for today,lol!

So what has your mind boggling this week?
