NOH8

The world and the people in it are quite funny. No, really they are quite funny. We read about hatred, we hear it, some we know might experience it but we still cannot get used to the idea that there are evil people in his world. It takes us, well me anyways, by surprise when someone says the "N word" or calls a hispanic a "b---". I mean what happened to the world? Where did all this hateful words come from? And who decided that those words were to be considered hateful?



In my opinion the person or persons who came up with those awful and disgusting words were seriously screwed up in the head. They were twisted and had much animosity in their own life, I think that they personally had hostility towards themselves. Now that is taking insecurity to a whole other level. I may not study the bible or whatever book people tend to live their daily lives by but I have seen love, compassion, beauty, anger, hatred, and every other adjective out there. But not from reading but from looking at poeple, learning from example and reading about the history of the world that has actual proof and is not man made. I am not bashing on god or anything like that, I believe that as a human race we need to believe in something in order to get through the day. In order for our lives to not get hectic and out of control.

But it is one thing to believe and there is another thing to preach your own beliefs on other people. The bible has many different stories from many different men but they all seemed to tell one thing. That god was loving to all and compassionate, a healer to the world. He forgave and understood, that is the lesson I personally took away from catholic school. God, the Buddha, the Universe, etc. they all wanted one thing that is "you treat others the way you wish to be treated, love others the way you want to be loved and appreciate others the way you would wanted to be appreciated."

So please from the bottom of my toes to the tip top of head,please do not spread hatred and animosity. Instead spread love its so much more simplier.

Peace AND Love--Spread it AROUND.

Live performances

This blog post is dedicated to my clever mother. She asked me to write about why at concerts do people need to constantly scream?


It is a fair question I think. The average citizen pays an obsene amount of money and struggles to find parking to watch one of their favorite artists perform all their greatests hits. But you can't truly enjoy the performance or the live music because some crazy fan girl or guy is busy screaming the lyrics in your ears. I personally have only been to 2 concerts in my 16 years of actual appreciation of the music industry. But those concerts girls and guys were just screaming and screaming and it doesn't help that the artist actually tries to talk to the audience. I mean please you cannot hear a word they are saying and most of the time they are too small so you have to look up at a big screen.

But the audience members seem to think, in my opinion, that if you scream loud enough the artist will some how notice you and acknowledge you. But let's get real, these artist do not really care if you scream because they are probably thinking "Hmm now why are they screaming at me? Makes no sense." Or I may be wrong, but all I am blogging is this: If I pay for a concert ticket and my seats are semi-ok, I really want to listen to and appreciate the music I am paying for. It may be boring if everyone in the stadium was quite and I understand that you want to express your voice but please you do not have to scream at every word that comes out of their mouth.

My final words is this, that is why I choose listening to my I-Pod really loud over concerts because at least the music is going straight into my soul and I don't have to deal with the crazy fans. It's more intimate and doesn't everyone like intimacy?

Peace & Love--Spread it around.

The tragedies of this world.

Let's get one thing straight. There are tragedies all OVER THE WORLD. I know right, like so hard to believe? But it's true, there have been civil wars, genocides, and starvation since, well let's just say for a long time. Earthquakes, floods, tsunami's, hurricanes, or even oil distasters will pass, to some it will take a while for this wound to heal but I think before we think time is SO slow think about the other countries that have seen worst. They have been through more worst, more tragic things that is unfathomable to oh I don't say a guy who works on a hit T.V show but yet complains that the oil spill is the most tragic thing in the world. Yes it is very, very tragic to him.

I am not saying that this oil spill is something to just glide over & let BP take care of it, they need help and a lot of it. But let's take into perspective what the Buddihist's have said time and time again "This too shall pass." Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti, the Tsunami in the Indian Ocean, the Northridge earthquake, etc. all natural disaster they all passed. I know during that time it was horrible people died, were lost, scared, stuck, and traumatized but you know what they toughened up and got their act together. Realized that the most important thing was for them to get back on their feet and start over, hopefully fresh. But this man made disaster is horrible, yes having this unbelievable oil into the gulf is going to be hard to control. But there are a lot of smart people in this world. People who have created this machines to pump oil from the ocean they can and I believe will manage to find a way to stop the oil from gushing out.


It is no good to point fingers at our President or blame the government for not controlling this oil company. Blaming others will NOT get anyone anywhere and certainly will not make the oil disappear any faster. But what we can do and maybe it's just my optimistic side, but I personally think that those stars who are in LA and tweeting about the disaster trying to get our attention they should start to think about the future. How can they make sure that this will never happen? Maybe they already are but they should not continue to criticize our President who has had a lot to deal with in the past few months and will continue trying to handle the problems until his term has ended. My ending statement is this: This disaster will pass and it will just be a story to be told, but what we do now to stop this from happening in the future is what we need to focus on.

Finally the last words I will write is this--the world has many whimpy, petty and insecure people. There are those that are....what's the word I am looking for..oh right SORER LOSERS. Get off your alaskan high moose and look at the reality: You lost deal with it and learn how to debate without having a cheat sheet on your hand. Ok that rant is done, I think I am going to end it with a happy note. We have a caring President who is trying really hard to clean-up the white man's mess.

Guess I can't end on a happy note. Peace and Love all around!!
