"You're going to Hell" "fuck You!"
So there has been a lot of stuff in the news and it is national about this local kid who killed him self cause of Bullying and now national people jump on board....
To me this isn't about his sexuality... Kids pick on kids about any thing and everything.. If you are different you will get picked on in some form... Now when I was a kid yes this did go on I'm sure... But most of it was through picking on someone in a good way not cause you hate what they are and that type makes people stronger. It is a guy thing of busting balls. Like "shut Up" oh "Blow Me" and on and on till someone doesn't have a comeback... This is why I don't think any new laws should be passed... Can't have people who are having a good time with each other get in trouble for it....
I know schools say they take this seriously but I don't really buy it... I think it is more we are covering out ass... But maybe I'm wrong... Again here is a place where we don't need new laws there are ones on the books that work .... But are teachers and people really going to follow them?
What I don't get is why after the school shootings why didn't that spawn these changes... Those kids get bullied and put out on there own. Then they go and shoot up a school... Yes it is part of a Micheal Moore movie and yes you should see the Marilyn Manson part of the movie it is great... But that should have started everything....
I don't think this will ever end:
-When someone dies it gives the bullies just what they want someone they don't approve of is dead oh well one less that is what they get for being that way...
-When you tell everyone this is how being this way hurts others yes it tells kids not to be like that.... But what it also does it reminds people who don't care if someone gets hurt to do this..... If they tell the entire school how to deal with this then the bullies know what they have to counter .......
-But The big reason why I don't think it will stop is a lot of the bulling is because the bully sees the other person as less of a person because of what they are... It could be that they are gay or act gay or look like a chick or what ever... Many times this is taught at home or at church... So it is a moral thing... Since they are being moral it is ok to do this....
Not all bullying is because of moral things... The way a bully works most of the time is with fear. Now the fear of what will happen is stronger most times then what will really happen. But this is true of most fear... The fear of rejection or getting the shit beaten out of you and get your face shoved in the mud is worse then the beating its self... Yes it will hurt but it will then end and you won't be tormented every minute of the day.... But it is easy to say you just have to tell someone to go fuck them selves and take what may happen...... Or of course to punch them as hard as you can... It isn't that easy as anyone who has ever been afraid of anything could tell you.....
I know there is more i wanted to say but kinda lost it somewhere as all ways this isn't prof read...

More 2011 MIA
So If you have never seen this band go see them... They are called "Those Idiots" they take Rock songs or hit songs and do them Polka style but they still rock and lyrics get changed like Poker Face is Polka Face plus they play fun instruments as well...
So the one Piece of art is from a guy I have some other art from Paul Massaro (not sure on the spelling) he was telling me that is about some bitch of a judge who likes to take kids away from families ... Now the Black and White is a Sean Madden Original yes a 6 armed Jesus with money, flag, burger, Hot Dog , Gun, Beer and wearing a Micky Mouse Hat..... Then a clown Vomiting is a print and so is the Massaro... Who also does Tattoos ....
So I wasn't close enough to really see the box but they Buried this guy then he did an escape of getting his hand out and unlocking the locks that is what that box is.... Or was I should say....
This Next Band The Ruby Spirit I think was pretty good also...
That is about all I have time for so.....

Food Trucks redux
-I think they are a great idea
-What got me so upset to begin with is that people where saying here are places that are concerned with their business and so they are pushing for laws that will protect and since they are doing that we won't eat there anymore....
-My main concern was that with them being mobile that a system needs to be in place where if there is a problem you call someone and they come out right a way and make a decision that is binding.. Say I get food poisoning or they have a guy with a big sign in front of my place stealing my customers... then someone comes out or maybe a few people they make a decision as what is to be done on the spot...
-Certain Festivals and places you need a permit for I think Delaware park is one of them... Food trucks should be able to get a permit for those places....
-Police shouldn't be pulling over trucks! unless they do something wrong like run a red light...
-What I thought should have happened was bar owners and street vendors and Pine Hill Coffee trucks, and James the Ice Cream dude and everyone who sells food or drinks should all have a big meeting with law makers and work out what is fair....Cause if I own a Juice stand or what ever is it fair that a truck can drive around and sell juice to people who are running not really......
Not sure what is going on with the great food truck race but hope Lloyds wins....

Night of Champions Predictions and more
So going to Night Of Champions and I do predict it will be fun and so will MIA. Now I will admit Ring Side sure is fun but often it isn't the best place to see or take photos from but that is ok... I'm not front row but the tickets sure where a lot... It being a PPV raises all the prices but still.... I hope this is one of the PPVs where you get to keep your chair... Some of the PPVs have art on the chairs and the first so ever how many rows have those chairs that sure would be cool...Didn't say anything either way when I bought the tickets....
CM PUNK VS HHH: Punk wins my call is that HHH is about to win and Kevin Nash comes out and attacks him and that with the rules means HHH is no longer COO and whom ever was pulling Nash's Strings becomes the new COO on Raw the next night... Oh yeah I still think he doesn't like punk so after the match Punk get stuck to (jack knife power bomb or what ever they call it)....
Alberto Del Rio (champion) Vs. John Cena: Can't call a winner but there is now way they can let Alberto be champion for this short of time so Cena won't leave with the tittle but he might win.....
Randy Orton (world Champion) Vs. Mark Henry: I like Orton but more so when he is more evil... I don't like Henry and don't hate him he is one of those ah I don't know doesn't do any thing good or bad for me.... It has to be his time to win and win the tittle so Henry wins and maybe gets punted after the match......
Bourne &Kofi (tag Champions) Vs. Miz and R-truth : Miz and R-truth are great but the Tag Champs have held the tittle for like 2 weeks Fans just Named them? So as much as I want Miz and R-truth I'm Picking Air Boom!
Kelly Kelly (divas Champion) Vs. Beth Phoenix: Well Kelly won last time but Beth Has to win in her hometown (or at least she is said to be from here) It would be great to see a heal win the tittle then take it into the crowd cause I'm sure they all want Kelly to win... I have to go with Beth on this one!
Fatal Four way: Challengers Swagger, Alex Riley, Morrison Vs. Dolph Ziggler...... This is a tough one who knows where they will take this story wise... If Swagger wins the tittle will this vickie issue get settled. I want Morrison my self... but think they want this feud to kinda go on so it is I guess I pick Ziggler.....
Now granted there is a Smackdown on Tonight that was taped on Tuesday... Now there is no IC tittle match listed on the site... I'm guessing that it will Be Cody Rhodes defending it and keeping it over Dibessie or how ever you spell it....
Can't predict what warm up match they will have to get us ready... But maybe the New Sin Cara vs. Someone.... In any event if you get the PPV look for me... I doubt I will make it on TV I never do....
I predict a fun weekend maybe I'll see some of ya'll out and about for a photo op or something....

9/11 ten years political
So the tough part is where to start (wonder if anyone on facebook will even read this). I don't have the same connection to this event as everyone else... Think I knew at the time one person who was in NYC and so the thought of family being in those towers never even crossed my mind... I wasn't in love with the city and the people there so it was like the Oklahoma City bombing by the way and that was the 1st Major Attack on our country... Everyone says 9/11 because of it being a foreign attack and there they have a point .. I was at work at the time and the boss let us know and it was view-able for anyone who wanted to see it...
The question most of these remember Sept 11th posts don't do is ask why... Why did we get attacked... Granted the people in the towers and the firefighters where innocent.... But why did someone fly planes into those buildings are part of a bigger attack? At the time no one wanted to know they just wanted death to those who did it... Who cares if we stick our noses into things that aren't our business who cares if we liberate people, so what if we support dictators and people who torture there own people (Sadam)... Not saying we can keep the entire world happy... But it isn't like we don't do evil things only those scum bag dirty Muslims do... Oh just nuke them all....
But see the other problem is no one asked why do they hate us...The follow up question should have been what will happen for different courses of action... In other words are we going to get more enemies then friends...
I'm not saying that one side holds the rights to remember sept. 11th and never forget what I'm saying is that it does suggest a certain view point politically not that it is true for every person.....
9/11 did change everything... Now they have the right to search you every where you go...What the fuck I just want to see a show why can't I sneak in my candy or what ever it is insane...
How about those united we stand shirts... Oh yeah all those people wearing them are doing such a great job of pulling up the poor and people who look like and act not like them... Great shirt there buddy.....
So don't even get me started on the wars with two countries ... It would be like if the Lakawana 6 blew some place up so England invaded us cause we had Terrorists it is so fucking stupid well that is "W" and his cronies who where all in with Sadam and Bin Laden....
Back to work for a minute remember when those Bin Laden Wanted signs where around... There was the (how can you not love those girls on those trucks) Pine Hill Coffee truck that came to work and it had one of those posters on it... Not saying he is a nice guy but you don't need war to get one guy... Oh yeah Seal Team 6 that was all about testing that stealth Helicopter really.... But after some time she no longer had that poster.... They where made illegal... Not sure why but it makes sense can't have people going to peace full places looking for Bin Laden at the local masque making friends in the us our enemy and shit.....
Now I don't go as far as the people who think we planned 9/11. But we knew it could happen yes there is prof that it was one of many scenarios that we knew about... That being said right at the time it came out that those building where built to stand being hit by a plane... Odd that the 2nd plane hitting is what caused the collapse.... What is odder though is how did they know one plane wasn't enough?
Now the NFL season started on Thursday... But today is like the real start and the Giants are in DC playing the skins...Go Skins... I'm sure all over the country there will be a lot of 9/11 stuff and that is fine... Sure for this game they will have all kinds of stuff and lots of stuff since this would be the perfect place to attack on National TV and in the capitol so... Security will be on high alert...
Now that all being said I have seen one thing on 9/11 other then Rescue Me (great show by the way) about the memorial and it is gorgeous like how they did the names and it looks very nice... My point in all this when you watch and special about this and there are a ton and some really good ones I'm sure. Step back and think? Don't buy the propaganda . Don't get caught up in the Fake Patriotism (altered Pledges , and anthems at sports events and that stuff) You know that I have a big flag so I love my country more then you.... No do this instead... Think of all the heroes that went into that building (real heroes don't think of them selves that way they where doing what they do and you would to if you could) to save the innocents... Then think about all the other innocent people and think about what should be done or shouldn't be done depending on your view for those people...Try and think and remember about those people and not some big political event and what it caused......

Homosexual bullying differs in that we need to change the dinner-table-talk and national dialogue surrounding it. Things like the repeal of DADT are a sign of noteworthy progress. Unfortunately, the marriage laws will take a lot longer to fix, as will the hateful rhetoric of conservatives. But, while bigots will always exist, the power they have will diminish as their beliefs are no longer welcomed out loud. Of course, they'll just latch on to the next thing that is acceptable to hate, which is why I believe hate is the real problem, and also why I love the No H8 campaign. I believe that campaign could achieve more by not associating itself specifically with homosexual hatred, although I understand why they are doing so.
As for social networking, I definitely think it had exacerbated the issue, largely because of the ease in which a message can reach a broad audience, the lack of policing that occurs in that environment, and, most importantly, the anonymity that people can hide behind.
In terms of the homophobia bullying or you could even use the term Harassment I think one of the problems and here I go bashing my country again.. But it isn't only us ... That we seem to think that it is ok to treat people badly cause we are on the high moral ground. It doesn't only come from faith either. Abortion is killing so it is ok to kill Abortion doctors even though that isn't the only thing they do...
That is why I don't know as these programs work maybe they do.. Maybe they let kids know that you hurt people and so they won't do it... But does that really work on Kids so many kids are kids and they don't get it. But I'm also again just guessing that having speakers come to schools just fuels the fire of the haters even more. As an example they have some guy come in who hurt himself and is in a wheel chair kids see it listen to it and go oh that won't happen to me and are say wrestling or doing what ever almost killed this guy... So I just wonder if they just make things worse by giving the school a way to say ok programs are in place people are here now we can't get sued or if we do we are covered instead of getting to the issue and making sure the ribbing and targeting of people doesn't happen.. Again I don't go to school anymore so not sure what goes on anymore....
I won't lie I don't know all the details... But what seems so crazy is that he felt empowered by lady GaGa and did some of those it gets better Videos from what I understand.... But I guess what one shows on the outside isn't the same as on the inside...
I really shouldn't get into the Social Media thing cause it is to complex that is another blog and maybe I will write one... But I wonder if they make things better or worse? I can't say that where I went to school there where no gay kids but if there where no one knew or at least it wasn't out there... Yeah social media is a great way to vent and get things off your chest but it also a way that way more people can know you are gay (or really anything) in an instant... Even with the cool kids at some point kids don't like school for some reason and I can't imagine it with facebook now... Ask a girl to the prom and she says no and it is all over facebook on the girls side you said yes to that dork what.... Now add in being gay... I can't imagine it... I really can't...
This is a gay issue (e:metalpeter). This guy came out at a time when nobody else on this site was able to do so, maybe we all knew that we couldn't handle it. I remember how hard my life was then and I couldn't imagine how it must have felt if I actually was courageous as this kid was. Clearly, what we are doing now is not enough.
