Hey y'all,
This is gonna be my first real blog in a long time, and even more so my first opinion related blog since pretty much my begininng week. i say that so you're not expecting my very best; its actually been quite a while since I've written anything at all, pretty much, but this topic is touching me quite personally, so I've decided to share.
Anyway, I've been reflecting a lot lately since finding out that a person who was close friends (and a cousin actually to some) of my friends has recently been stabbed. It happened in sleepy Meadowvale, where most of the crime is bar fight or drinking and driving related. Don't get me wrong-I don't live in a peaceful, perfect little suburb, and bad stuff does happen here, but not that often. And more often than not, I'm never connected to anyone involved.
So maybe its that I don't pay attention; no matter, thats not really the point. The point is that this is now the fifth person in the past 5 years I've either known, or known through association, that has been murdered. And really, when it comes down to it, it all seems so senseless to me. These people have lives and friends and family, but yet others who have the same decide to take the person away forever, and probably for no really good reason. (is there ever really a good reason to kill? The movie A Time to Kill may be be a good argument for it, but in the cases I speak of I don't think thats the case)
I mean really, has anyone ever pissed you off? Has anyone ever stolen from you, screwed you over in some way, hurt you even? Do you decide to go and kill that person? I mean, you want to get revenge, hurt that person back, maybe even try to ruin their life. But to end it? Who is that going to hurt? The person who hurt you, or the innocent friends and family who had nothing to do with it? Who is going to learn a lesson from it? Nobody, because the only person you wanted to learn a lesson, or be sorry, or fear you probably spends their last moments either thinking of family, thinking of pain, or praying to save their souls. The last person they probably think of is the person who killed them. And if anything, they probably most definitely don't care about why that person killed them.
What ever happened to beating the crap out of someone who deserved it? Some pisses you off, steals your crap, sleeps with your girlfriend or whatever, and you beat them down, and then make sure they have the fear of God within them next time they catch a glimpse of you, even if this involves threats. As Eminem cleverly put it "...so you can come back again and kick dirt on them". Do those who kill someone actually feel satisfied? I just can't imagine, no matter how you put it, that killing someone would solve the problem (again I'm talking about this kind of murder, so please don't think I generalize to the ENTIRE population. I'm sure there are many who think that at some point killing someone if the situation warranted it would be OK).
I guess it all comes down to the fact that I can't understand how the world has gotten to the point where we really think murder is the solution. What? Do you murder the person who slighted you to command fear? Respect? Show people you mean business? Show the world you're tough? There are better ways to do this, honestly, and not for anything, but I'm pretty sure there are ways of achieving these things that will have more of a lasting impact. Can they sleep at night? Do they go on living and not even care? Do they now live in fear every day of retaliation? I guess maybe this is why I could never have been part of this kind of life; I couldn't deal. Seriously. I don't see how anyone can.
For those of you who know who I speak of, I give my condolences. Although I didn't really know him, I met him a few times and saw him around, and I know he got your love and respect which means above all else he was a good person. I hope you all stay safe.
On this note, I'll say later. This is not a subject to which I would say cheers, but I will say take care everyone. And think about your choices. Each one has an impact on the web of the Universe.

For Your Health
Just read this, and I thought I should share in case you don't read or watch the news. This could be serious as Dole is a huge and highly trusted company. Guess, go check your lettuce. Funny, you won't hear me say a darn word about mad cow disease, but E. Coli I find to be an issue...where are my priorities? Anyway, here you go!!
Dole recalls bagged lettuce after sample in Canada tests positive for E. coli

SAN FRANCISCO (CP) - A division of Dole Food has issued an international recall of bagged salad after a sample taken from a store in Canada tested positive for E. coli.
Dole recalls bagged lettuce after sample in Canada tests positive for E. coli
Company officials say there have been no reports of illness.
The voluntary recall affects all packages of Dole's Hearts Delight salad mix sold in the United States and Canada with a best if used by date of September 19, 2007 and a production code of A24924A or A24924B.
Marty Ordman, a Dole spokesman, says the product was sold in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes and in Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and neighbouring U-S states, starting the weekend before last.
The romaine, green leaf and butter lettuce hearts that went into the blend were grown in California, Colorado and Ohio, then processed at Dole's plant in Springfield, Ohio, on September 6.
Eighty-eight cases were distributed in Canada and 755 cases in the United States.
The company's move came a day after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned consumers not to eat Hearts Delight.
"Our overriding concern is for consumer safety," Eric Schwartz, president of the Dole Fresh Vegetable division said in a statement.
He said the company was working with U.S. and Canadian health agencies, as well as those in various states.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration was talking with Westlake Village, Calif.-based Dole about the situation, agency spokesman Michael Herndon said.
The Canadian agency said it would be looking to find out at what point the salad blend, which is imported into Canada, became contaminated and see if any other products are affected, spokesman Garfield Balsom said.
Last year, an E. coli outbreak traced to bagged baby spinach was blamed for the deaths of three people and for sickening hundreds more across the United States and Canada.
State and U.S. authorities ultimately identified a central California cattle ranch next to spinach fields belonging to one of Dole's suppliers as being the source of the bacteria.
Food contaminated with this strain of E. coli may not look or smell spoiled but health officials say the bacteria can cause life-threatening illnesses.
Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea; some people can have seizures or strokes and some may need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis, while others may live with permanent kidney damage.
For more information, consumers and industry can call the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342, or TTY 1-800-465-7735, between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday.

Chinese man drops dead in Internet cafe after 3-day gaming binge
17/09/2007 9:54:00 AM
BEIJING (AP) - A man in southern China appears to have died of exhaustion after a three-day Internet gaming binge, state media said Monday.
Chinese man drops dead in Internet cafe after 3-day gaming binge
The 30-year-old man fainted at a cybercafe in the city of Guangzhou on Saturday afternoon after he had been playing games online for three days, the Beijing News reported.
Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe, it said. The paper said that he may have died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet.
The report did not say what the man, whose name was not given, was playing.
It said that about 100 other surfers "left the cafe in fear after witnessing the man's death."
China has 140 million Internet users, second only to the United States. It is one of the world's biggest markets for online games, with tens of millions of players, many of whom hunker down for hours in front of computers in public Internet cafes.
Several cities have clinics to treat what psychiatrists have dubbed "Internet addiction" in users, many of them children and teenagers, who play online games or surf the web for days at a time.

Ok, so I'm a slacker...
That being said, I think I'm gonna have to drop the whole 'share my day' thing. I started off saying I had no interest in having a blog that details my life...and I think I'm definitely back with that position. Although it was really cathartic to be able to share a bit of my life when I was going through the tough times, I think ultimately I don't really have an interesting life, and I truly don't care to share every detail of it with the world...I want to fool you all in to thinking I live some type of glamourous, jamp packed life!!
Ok, so that being said, we're going back to the beginning....my absolutely FASCINATING....you guessed it...POINT OF VIEW (on everything!!!) !!! Ok, I'm definitely sticking to my funny weekend bits, but if you do see a post otherwise it's gonna have to do with my opinion of some topic (occassionally or more this could actually coincide with the events of my life....who knows???) I've come up with quite a few things I wanted to make a post about, but then I felt so guilty for not having filled you in on school etc, and then I figured I couldn't give my rant without first doing the fill in thing...and the cycle goes on.
So anyway, without further ado, I present to you my funny section (it's returning to cartoon for today! Still thinking of a name!!) Now, I know police racism/brutality in reality isn't funny...that being said these 2 clips I always thought were so terrible (and yet hilarious) that I thought I'd share them with you! Go Family Guy!!!
I know, terrible right??
Anyway, Cheers!!

Darn It!!!!
Oh, Crap!!! So, I'm a little late with this post. In my personal defense, I forgot that i hadn't actually posted anything after my first day of Frosh (which sucked *****) or my first day of school, so technically it ain't really my fault. :-P Ok, so that being said, I'm not about to give you a damn thing right now....I'm tired and uncomfortable, and right now all I can think of is sleeeeeeepppppp....but, as for my loyalty to my dearest fans (go Rob and Michelle...lol...sad but true, and y'all aren't exactly fans either are you????) i thought I could at least try to stick to the weekend funnies that still don't have a name cause clearly I still haven't focused my energies or thoughts enough on it to officially name it anything (although I love your idea Rob....but how do we incorporate that with saturdays???)
Ok, so for your Saturday awesomely funny clip, I give you....
Ok, so I had no idea, but I'm watching Blade 3, and it occurred to me that this is one of the funniest, most quoted scenes that I always forget about. So...I decided this was it....kinda like fate or....well, whatever....its gonna be awesome though. I'll be back tomorrow (maybe) to share my week with you (maybe) or at least to give you a funny clip (OK, sad I know, but probably the most likely). I'm really trying, but follow through just isn't my strong suit. OK, well, i love this part of the movie, hope you love it too!! (just so you're not disappointed, its not a fighting part, but it's funny as hell!!!) Did I present it already?? Oh gosh, I'm too tired to care. So much for tradition....hopefully I did. If not, enjoy anyway.
Cheers!!
Happy Humidity Weekend!!! (Lord I hope it stays this way forever!!!)

Sunday...Sattire???....Enjoyment
Ok, so we haven't agreed on a name yet, but I figured that I would temporarily use this name for now. (like for now doesn't mean temporarily ;-)!!) Anyway, not gonna get technical with symantics (remember from a past post; just because I'm not EXACTLY sure what the owrd mean doesn't mean I can't use it...besides, it works, don't it :-P), I wanted to present to you the Sunday Sattire clip for the weekend before school stars... The Marvel/DC Commercial (spoof of the Mac/PC commercials)(like you haven't noticed that there's a direct link to the Mac/PC commercials at the side of my blog there)(the right side for those of you who haven't noticed!) Honestly, I think it is awesome and should most definitely be highlighted for those of you who aren't that observant or are just plain lazy, just so you get to wintness just how awesome they are. Don't get me wrong, everyone's allowed to their own opinions and stuff, but I think you'd have to be entirely, well, i won't say, but you know, something bad :-P, for you not to think they're awesome!
Anyway, this edition of Sunday...Sattire???... has been presented. Enjoy! and to all of those who start school tomorrow, happy miserable 8 months of life!!!
Cheers!!

Rabble!!
Ok, so I thought I would try with the whole follow through thing and try to post a funny clip (or more than one depending on how many I think of or can find) today and tomorrow. Maybe I'll call it...Weekend Comics? No, thats too newspaperish. Sattire Saturdays...and Sattire Sundays...and maybe the whole weekend can be called...Sattire Fun days?? But what if I don't always want sattire? Like last weeks commercial. *Sigh* I don't know...well, whatever we're gonna call it, and any suggestions on that will be greatly appreciated, here comes another funny clip for your weekend enjoyment!! I'm not sure if its the full clip I wanted here or not, but my volume control is not working at the moment so I couldn't listen to it first. Anyway, I know its from the episode I wanted. Anyway, 'member last week when I mentioned rabble? If you didn't know what I was talking about, now you will!! Enjoy!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Recap Continued!!
Phew...ok, so I worked out, i did my anger management exercises, went out for a drink, and have now finally gotten over York (stupid York!! grrr) and can now continue with my week recap.
Ok, so Tuesday....hmmmm, what happened on Tuesday again? Oh yeah, so Tuesday I went down to Mac and my cousin Michelle gave me a tour of the campus. Honestly, it helped alot because now the campus isn't so big and scary and once I start some stuff will seem familiar to me. And it was fun too. Now if only I could have done all of that without all of that crazy, crazy walking, it would be fantastic! We walked down to the frozen yogurt place, which honestly I never would have seen myself walking to before...ever...it was SOOO far...but really it wasn't THAT bad. Besides I figured I should get used to this walking thing cause without it I'm gonna miss a whole lotta classes. Right, but I should continue with the recap instead of focusing on how much I HATE walking, especially if there's a purpose behind it......count backwards from ten, spaz!!....Ok, so the frozen yogurt was really good (I had a smoothie thing) and then we went to my cousins house, which is kinda like a fancy little cottage, but its nice. And with her paraphenalia and posters all about, her room is really neat. Really reminds me of what I expect dorm life to be like.
Ok, so on to wednesday, which was nice but also tiring cause I had so much walking to do then too!! However, somehow or another I can always dismiss this type of walking....you guessed it, SHOPPING!!! My sister and I went to Dixie Value Mall to do some back to school shopping. I didn't think I'd get as much stuff as I did, and really didn't think I would enjoy the experience as much as I did, but it was a whole lot of fun. Well, hanging out with my sister always is, but I hate busy stores and malls, and I hate shopping trying to find sizes, and this always is at its peak at any major occassion (back to school, christmas, valentines). And then on top of that, I hate shopping with people smaller than me, because they can always find their sizes in all the clothes they want, and can always get great stuff off the sales rack. But really none of these issues happened, or if they did I was already having such a good time that it didn't matter! Except for my sisters random pee breaks (and the mad dash from one end of the mall to the other :-P) everything went perfectly and we both made out like bandits!! Woo Hoo!!
I would like to take this time to mention that I haven't been back to school shopping in like 8 years. That being said, I realize I'm not in high school anymore, so please don't think what I bought was a load of glamour clothes. New jeans, sweaters that actually fit, and a whole bunch of t shirts and tank tops. Thats what I bought. You probably won't even notice when I do wear it that its new. But doesn't it feel good to be all crisp and new for your first month of school? Doesn't it make you feel more optimistic, more willing to achieve, more eager to actually roll out of bed everymorning and get your day started a bit earlier than at the absolute last second?
So, Thursday I hung out with Desi the whole day. It was good cause we haven't really had a whole lot of time lately to just hang out just cause we wanted to. We spent like an hour or so at his house talking to his family cause his parents have gone to Arizona for 2 weeks. Apparently where they're living is an honest to god mansion, complete with waterfall and rocks in their pool in the backyard. I hope one day I get to see that!
Friday Desi got to my house at like 7 am cause he was on his way back from the airport. I woke up when he got here but then I was out til like 1. So anyway, he met what is probably going to be our new contractor for the basement. Yes, the original guy is a stupid flake! Seriously, he was supposed to already be done of Friday that just passed. Even with a couple people in our basement, the new contractor is saying that theres a good at least two weeks left of work...what the HELL was the other contractor doing all this time. Well, whatever, we've pretty much fired him. Now, if only he'd return a phone call he'd know that. Anyway, friday night we went out to PARTEEEE!!! cause it's my official last weekend before school starts. We had a lot of fun, and cabbed it back home, where a proceeded to eat an entire small pizza systematically all by myself. So much for trying to be reasonable with my eating habits!!
And that brings us to today, which hasn't actually really even started yet for me, but in theory either today or tomorrow we have to go exchange a couple shirts, buy another pair of jeans, get a new school bag, a pocket thing for the laptop, and other school supplies. I'll let you know how everything goes.
Have a good weekend y'all
Cheers
