Troubled Mind

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

This day is tiresome. I just want to go home and cuddle up to my man, but instead I'm stuck at work. *frowns*

What makes it WORSE is the fact that I was reading/watching the news. I don't generally watch the news because most of it is filled with idiotic things like B. Spears and her life instead of important things like what's happening to women in places like India or even Africa.

Of course it doesn't. Pfft.

Anyways, I was reading where this girl was invited over her friend's house only to get jumped by 6 girls. Then I started to read other articles on teens getting jumped and on the news, they all had 1 thing in common:

These acts were videotaped and placed on Youtube or MySpace...

The one with the girl I told you about. She claimed that one girl hit her and rammed her head into the wall rendering her unconscious. Once she gained consciousness, there were six girls over her. They took turns beating her. There were 2 guys on the outside keeping watch...

The part that kills me the MOST...Well there are 2 things:

1. Most of the parents, including the ones of the victim, blame YouTube and MySpace.

2. The grandmother who owned the house where the girl was beaten is horrified that she's receiving threatening phone calls and someone scratched her car.

Why?

1. How can you blame a place that was innocently created to give people an outlet to make themselves known and to publish videos about the cool things that they do? YouTube and MySpace didn't encourage those girls to do that. They don't have a HUGE contest telling them to tape the best ass whooping so they can win prizes! NO they don't...

So if anything, it's our current society and in SOME cases the lack of parenting.

2. I'm sorry, grandma, but while you're fretting over phone calls and a scratched car...

A teenager is in the hospital trying to heal thanks to your granddaughter beating the crap out of her in YOUR house.

Am I crazy here? If I did that at my mom's house, she would...Let's just say that I would never DREAM of doing that!!!!

What is this world coming to??? Yes I ended that sentence with a preposition, but I'm too freaked at the possibilities of the future to worry about that at the moment. I want to have kids. I want to have a few of them. Now if they EVER pulled a stunt like this, jail would be the only thing protecting them from me. The part that scares me the most is...

What if they were victimized? The "mob mentality" has been around for ages and it's never going to go away...BUT now you can watch yourself being beaten on public websites. The ENTIRE world can watch you...

How embarrassing...

How cruel...

The parents had to watch the scene where their daughter was beaten.

Gah, my heart is heavy...

I want to tie my tubes so I won't get pregnant. If this is what the world is coming to then I'm sorry, it's not fair to bring ANY kid into this world...

*sigh*

Sorry Faithful Five and everyone else...I'm not ending this in a happy mood, but I feel the need to stress the words that I'm about to close this session with:

Love, Peace and Hair Grease...

TEETH?!

Besides my smile, there is another thing that I receive compliments on the most and that's my teeth. My lips come in third, hair is fourth. Okay, I don't want to go through the rest of them. Oh by the way, my hair has been hot tamale-ized once again and I'm LOVING IT! lol

So today I was buying some gum. I'm OBSESSED with gum. Oh man! If you bring me gum, I will SO be your best friend! The only problem is, I chew it and then I swallow gum, so I know for a FACT that it doesn't take 7 years for it to digest. Okay...

That was gross! *snickers*

Where was I? Oh yes, buying gum! Orbitz...My absolute favorite gum! Right now I'm chewing their Melon Breeze flavor! :)

Wait...

I was buying gum and talking to the woman behind the cash register. All of a sudden she stopped and leaned forward and said, "You have a nice set of pearly whites there!"

Now, I'm not so impressed with my teeth. Matter of fact, if I'm laughing and someone takes a picture of me, I'm not a happy person. Yet folks find my teeth perfect...

Am I weird?

Well...YES, but I guess it goes to show that we often see ourselves differently...

Dreams

Man...

I have some pretty ODD dreams!

Last night dream still has me baffled. Okay...

I was in a comedy show. I was a comedian and I was waiting for my turn to go on stage. I was supposed to go second but I was skipped over. By the time I realized that I missed my turn, Bernie Mac was on stage. There was only 1 space left and it was after him. The reason why that space was opened was because no one wanted to go after him. For some reason, I still wanted to try. It was my first time on stage and I hadn't prepared anything so I was going in "Balls to the Walls" mode. lol While waiting for my turn, I kept running different jokes in my head, telling myself stories and cracking up. Bernie Mac ended up using up my time! I was sad, but they told me to return to a different show, so I did. I saw myself go up on the stage, but I woke up before I could even see my act.

That dream was soooooooooooo LONG! It was INSANE! It was like a movie! I could see different acts in my head. I could see myself waiting. *sigh*

Where is an interpreter when you need one? :)

Eh...I feel like writing today, so expect to see a few more of these today!

Okay Faithful Five and the rest of you!

Love, Peace, and Hair Grease! :)
