Abortion/Women's Rights/Human Rights

 I really don't like blogging about sensitive subjects that much because it can get messy but I need to express my emotions, my voice on this. It's just too important not to. If you choose to leave a comment, please keep it civil, we're all humans with different beliefs.

So I will start of by saying, I personally wouldn't get an abortion unless it was for a medical reason. I can no longer have kids. I am not here to bash people's beliefs in anything. I am very angry, frustrated, disgusted, disappointed and scared for the future of the USA.

My mind is racing with so much right now. We all have heard by now that the supreme court over turned Roe vs Wade and has let each state make their own laws on abortion. I do understand that this doesn't ban it and just makes it  to where each state can make their own laws about it but it's  still a VERY dangerous slope for different reasons.

By doing this, that means there is no protection what so ever for women or anybody for that matter. States can now put in any law regarding abortion no matter how strict or not they make it, there is NOTHING and NOBODY to say that they have stepped too far and for them to not make the law. Only the people can say something but at this point we are just noise to them. This is why it's dangerous. If you get someone in office who is power hungry, highly religious, etc etc, they can now do whatever the hell they want. Think of a really horrific cult leader running a country, yeah it can be that ugly. The supreme court is supposed to be there to help protect the citizens from crazy people messing with basic human rights. They have failed us in this, it's sad.

I get that there is nothing specific in the constitution about abortion but 1 - it wasn't a big thing back when it was written, 2 - the world has changed a lot since then and things need to be adjusted, 3 - things like the constitution was made to help protect everyone and to be tweaked a tad to match with today's times. Yet the supreme court has failed us.

The people in charge of this country are not supposed to mix church and state, yet they are 1000% doing this! They may not come out and mention their religion or their God but we are not stupid. We know that they all think it's against their religion and beliefs. When in the hell is someone in power going to stop making laws based on their damn religion/beliefs and make laws what is best for ALL people of the country? WHEN?? Since the supreme court has over turned the abortion law, they can easily over turn other basic human right laws and have each state be in control of them. Again this is VERY dangerous for the same reasons stated above. You know as well as I do politicians will make inhuman laws and nobody will be able to stop them!

The people in power are no longer making laws for us, they are making laws for themselves. They are taking their religion beliefs and making sure everyone follows the same way. This is disgusting controlling behavior. Not everyone believes in the same religion nor believe in the same things even if it's the same religion. Not everyone believes in a God. We have the freedom of religion but the laws being made are from one religion only! The people in charge of our fucking lives are making sure that no matter what we believe, we have to follow their religion "rules". Please don't tell me that we need to get back to where this country was founded on because the Indians were here long before the white man! The white man came and took over pushing them out of the way! This country was not founded on religion either because it clearly says not to mix religion and state, the white man brought over their religion and made it apart of their life and tried to make it apart of everyone else! 

Just because one person thinks something is wrong and against God, doesn't mean that should be forced on everyone else, that it's the right way to live and everyone needs to follow the same! Nobody's religion is wrong or right! Laws need to be stopped being based on one fucking religion. Plus, people all the time take their religion and twist things into what they believe to be the word of God. This could easily turn into a religion topic so I'm backing away for now on that because this blog is more about abortion and other human rights laws.

There are so many things that makes this anti-abortion law dangerous, here we go. This will NOT stop abortions. I guess these politicians don't know their fucking history. Women will just go back to doing it themselves in different ways, remember the coat hanger method? If not, look it up. More babies will be left abandoned. More babies will be abused. More babies will be born with issues because of the mother being addicted to drugs. Our foster care system is over crowded with kids not being adopted out and being uncared for. They are not being supported especially when they turn 18. There are way too many people on this planet as it is, we are not running out of people. Having too many people means more issues like mental illness, homeless, more people struggling and sometimes suffering. 

If a woman is raped, she would have to carry it to full term. That can be VERY traumatic for the woman to go through and is torture. If a kid is raped even by her own father, she will have to carry the baby. Do you even understand how this will damage the kid! Their little bodies could be damaged from it on top of everything else! It's so disgusting to put a kid through that! If a woman has a miscarriage, she will have to keep the dead baby inside, this is fucking insane! If the baby is dead, what does it matter if it's taken out? This will cause the woman to become septic which could easily kill her! So now she will have to die just because she had to keep her dead baby inside?! UGH!

If there is complications during delivery and the mother will die or both, she will have to just die? Doesn't make sense one bit. If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, she will now have to die because nothing can be removed! Do these people even understand what an ectopic pregnancy is? Let me explain. An ectopic pregnancy is when the clump of cells (yes, CELLS and NOT an actual human baby) gets stuck while going down to the uterus or somewhere else they are not supposed to be. When this happens, the cells have no room to grow into an actual human so the fallopian tube burst IMMEDIATELY killing the cells and causing eternal bleeding in the mom. At this time there is nothing left of the cells. Now the woman needs an emergency operation so the doctors and stop the bleeding, tie off the tube that burst and clean everything up. Then the woman needs a blood transfusion. This is a very traumatic situation for her. So now with the new laws, the woman has to die because the doctors can't go in to stop the bleeding even though there is no baby or cells left! DIE WHEN SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO! Seriously? What kind of fucked up shit is that?

About women who have their eggs frozen. They don't want to have all those babies but need to keep the eggs in case a few don't work. But now they might have to keep/use all of them. Really people? 

How about after the kid is born. Bills are sky high to have a kid and yet unlike some countries, women still have to pay here in the US. They are lucky to get maternity leave, child care while they go to work is unaffordable. Raising a kid is super expensive and right now there is a shortage of formula so babies have a hard time eating and that issue isn't being fixed. What about child abuse? SO many kids are being abused but nobody helps them. So many kids go hungry but nobody helps. Kids are being bullied to where some commit suicide or go on a mass shooting spree. Then there is mass shootings, nobody is trying to fix that situation. Now I know all of these things will always be around and they can't be fully stop even with the best of laws in place, as long as there are people, these things will happen. But we can take steps to minimize these things from happening. Oh also, schools suck ass with a fucking straw and nobody is fixing those issues. So basically people in government are willing to make sure kids are born but do fucking shit when the kids are born. I get it.

Now there is talk of some states want to ban birth control. So let me get this straight, women won't be able to try to prevent getting pregnant and once they do get pregnant, they can't get an abortion? So basically they are FORCING women to have kids even if they don't want any! Sure they can refuse to have sex but then some men will think they deserve to have sex and will rape women. What about women who are fucking abused by their partners? Kids should not be brought up in that kind of environment. Sometimes women don't have a choice with their abusers and can't leave them. Or they get pregnant right before they leave and can't afford to have it, don't have a stable place etc. Now they are forced to have it. What if the abused pregnant woman gets beat and loses the baby? Will the guy go to prison for killing it or would the woman if she didn't die from not being able to get the dead baby out? I guarantee the woman would get in trouble but not the guy. Hell even now it's hard to get a guy convicted when that happens. 

At this point women's rights are being taken away. Women fought so fucking hard to have rights and now they are being taken away again! We still don't have complete rights even before all of this. Some women still get paid less than men, they are looked at as less than, it's harder for them to be seen as an equal and to be able to do the same jobs as a man. Can you fucking believe that it's almost impossible for women to get their tubes tied if they don't want kids? Look it up, there are so many stories about it. They get told they are too young and might want kids in the future and sometimes they are told that they need their husbands permission before getting it done. I've even heard of a women needing to get permission from her EX to get it done. HER FUCKING EX!!! What the fucking hell?! If a guy was to get an operation done, he wouldn't have to jump through the same hoops. God I am so tired of not being an equal especially in 2022.

Because of Roe vs Wade, they can now go after other human right laws and what's to fucking stop them, NOTHING! I already talked about the birth control. But now they can go after same sex marriage again and mixed marriages. I am in a mixed marriage. I am Mexican American mix and my husband is white. This year will be 25 years of being together. So now our marriage can be in jeopardy all because some people think it's wrong. This devastates me. Hell one of the supreme court judges is in a mixed marriage, why in the hell would he put his marriage at risk like that? I would fucking divorce him if he went there. Right now this whole thing might not effect you but give it time, if things keep moving forward, there will be a law that will have your basic rights taken from you. There are so many other things that make these things dangerous, too many to list.

These fucking men in office want nothing but to control women and to make this place an all white Christian country and if you don't fall into the right categories that they call a fucking sin under there damn religion, then they will take your rights away and cast you aside. The few women in office are letting these controlling assholes continue and for some reason are following them right behind. They need to grow a pair and fight for their woman human rights. 

I don't care what religion you are, what political party you are or even if you are anti-abortion, you have those rights. Just don't make everyone else believe the same thing and fucking think everyone needs to follow the same beliefs. They don't care about us, they just care about their religion/beliefs, being superior and controlling especially over women.

1) If you are against abortion, don't fucking have one or be involved with someone who is pro choice (to make this clear, once a fetus is an actual baby inside, there shouldn't be any abortions except during an health emergency).

2) If you are against same sex marriage or any other LGTBQ+ rights, then do have one or be around around it.

3) If you are against mixed marriages, then don't have one.

4) If you don't believe in any kind of birth control, then don't use it or be with someone who does.

See a fucking pattern here? 

5) Whatever religion you believe in, DON'T press it unto others. DON'T make them follow the same beliefs. DON'T use your religion as an excuse for your bullshit hate. DON'T go after others just because you think they are committing a sin. LEAVE OTHERS ALONE! Your "sin" is NOT someone else's "sin".

6) It's not your damn business how others live their life (unless you know child molesters etc, that's a whole nother story) so stay out of it. Stay out of other people's bedroom and medical issues.

LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR BASIC FUCKING HUMAN RIGHTS!!! 

We need to vote these controlling assholes out of office and get someone in who actually cares about human rights instead of their own personal beliefs. 

Side note, sorry for all the cussing, I am really pissed.

The Conjuring Universe

 I am into horror movies especially the conjuring universe. Although I feel the 3rd conjuring movie wasn't as good as the others, I still enjoyed it very much. It has been awhile since anyone has heard about any more movies in the works. I did just read that there might be a Nun 2. I don't really know what they could do with it because the nun was destroyed in one of the conjuring movies (the 2nd one I believe). 

Here is what I hope we get to see in the future.

The crocked man - I know they were talk about doing a film about him, I really hope they do but I hope the character doesn't look animated like he did in the other movie.

The devil's rocking chair - They need to do a movie on this. The backstory I believe has to do something about a boy being possessed or attacked by something and he along with Loraine Warren saw a demon sitting in the chair. I don't know the full story but it sounds like it could be another good movie.

I would also like to see a movie about the guy that got possessed at the end of The Nun and that has been shown in the other movies. I feel like that storyline is unfinished and needs to be told.

Maybe a movie done about the bride that was in Annabelle come home, it sounds interesting. 

I haven't read the Warren's book but I am sure there are a few more stories that would make interesting movies. What do you hope to see from their stories gets made into a movie?

Full/Fuller House - What's Wrong

 Full house was a show a lot of us grew up with in the late 80's/early 90's. You either hated it or loved it. Even if you love it, there are a lot of things in the series that just doesn't make sense. I know when I first watched this show, I didn't think about things not making sense, It's when I became an adult and started watching it that I (like many others) have realized that things make you scratch your head.

There are several YouTube videos that talk about a few of the "mistakes" found in the two series. I decided to take notes as I watched the two series again and to talk about them all in one spot. I know I didn't catch everything and have left somethings out but I tried my best. There is just so much to go through, remember and think about lol

The General Stuff

There are stairs all over the place, in the front room, the kitchen and two sets in the basement. How in the hell does the stairs from the kitchen lead to the same area upstairs as the front room ones? When they show the upstairs, there is only one set which goes into the front room. The small stairway in the garage/basement is a mystery too. Obviously one set goes into the kitchen but the other set, where does that go? I think it was only used once.

Jessie's last name was Croken. I know John Stamos wanted them to change it because it didn't match with their heritage but why couldn't they figure this out before they aired the series?

How can they get a car into the backyard especially in SF? We all know how the houses are in that city. There is just no way they could get a car in the backyard.

How do people know which door to knock on? It seems like they just magically know where the family is hanging out so they can decided which door to knock on. Plus, why would someone just wonder in someone's backyard anyways? 

Stephanie gets glasses but in Fuller House she doesn't have them nor mention that she has contacts.

Comet is barley in any episodes in season 4. I get it's hard to work with a dog, there's the money and storylines but he should have been in more episodes.

Becky has a decent singing voice in a few episodes but when she sings Pooh Corner, she sounds horrible.

Season 1

Episode 1: 'Our very first show' - If Danny knew Joey & Jessie were moving in, why didn't he clean out both the attic & the basement? I get he was going through a lot but since two people were going to live there for awhile, it would make sense to clean one or both out to make more room. Also, they mention Kimmy has three sisters but they disappear later on in the series & she has a brother instead. 

Episode 4: 'Return of grandma' - The house ends up being a mess. Danny would never let it get that bad to start. I realize this is all before he is a "neat freak" but they always talk about how he was always that way.

Episode 13: 'Sisterly love' - Stephanie has pierced ears that are clearly not clip-ons but later in the series, she gets them done by Kimmy.

Episode 22: 'DJ Tanner's day off' - Kimmy says she has an older brother, I believe this is when she no longer has sisters. Also, in Fuller House, her brother is now younger.

Season 2

Episode 15: 'Pal Joey' - We know Jessie is younger than Danny, I think Joey is too. It always seemed like Danny didn't meet Jessie until he got with with his wife. This episode is a little confusing on the timeline because Danny & Joey meet in grade school and Jessie is there too.

Episode 21: 'Luck be lady' - When everyone is in Lake Tahoe, DJ at one point says they won 10 thousand dollars but another time in the episode they mention 100 thousand.

Season 3

Episode 4: 'Nerd for a day' - The jingle bye bye fat is so degrading to people who are over weight. They say how one won't be fat no more if they lose weight and they will look great.

Episode 7: 'And they call it puppy love' - The puppies in the episode looked to be 8 weeks old when Minnie's owner came to get her. Just how long did they have the puppies for?

Episode 20: 'Honey I broke the house' - Why does Joey's car look like bullet, Danny's car? A car doesn't just go backwards unless you hit the gas & Stephanie couldn't reach the pedals.

Season 4

Episode 10: 'Terror in Tanner town' - Rusty uses the bathroom before Danny takes a shower then exchanges the shampoo with hair dye so his hair changes green. Danny has his own bathroom so why would this even happen?

Season 5

Episode 3: 'Take my sister please' - There is all of a sudden carpet in the bathroom. I realize Stephanie "moved" into the bathroom but it doesn't explain why there is carpet in there. They took out the 2nd set of stairs from the basement. It makes sense to not have them but they should have thought about it before putting them in.

Season 6

Episode 2: 'The long goodbye' - This is the episode where Michelle & Denise meet again but act like it's their first time meeting. It might be the first they are in the same classroom but they met in earlier episodes. 

Episode 6: 'Educating Jessie' - This is the episode that says he didn't graduate high school but in previous episodes/seasons, he talks about graduating like when DJ does the senior prank.

Episode 10: 'I'm not DJ' - This is the episode where Stephanie gets her ears pierced by Kimmy even though she has had actual earrings in before.

Episode 11: 'Dodging mothers' - The new manager at the radio station is from MTV who was also in another episode as herself when Jessie makes is 'Forever' video. So she plays two different people in the series, one being herself.

Episode 14: 'Birthday blues' - Stephanie & Michelle's room is back to the old way before Viki's mom designed it. Two episodes later the room is back to being redecorated.

Episode 15: 'Be true to your pre-school' - Kimmy's brother's name is Garth but in Fuller House it's Jimmy. It's funny how Becky & Jessie lie on an application to get their kids in school when years later in real life, Lori actually does it. I guess she didn't learn anything from the episode.

Episode 19: 'Subterranean graduation blues' - While on the subway to Jessie's "graduation", he said how his kid's finally finished the Elvis puzzle, the last piece was the left side burn, In previous clips, the finished piece was actually the nose.

Episodes 23 & 24: 'The house meets the mouse' - How were Kimmy & Steve able to go to Disneyland with everyone? The Tanner's went because it was part of a business trip. I guess Steve & Kimmy paid for themselves? Not only in this episode but in other ones too, they get Becky & Jessie's anniversary wrong. They got married on Valentine's day and yet when they celebrate their anniversary, it seems like it's on another day instead of Feb. 14th.

Season 7

Episode 6: 'Smash club next gen' - They said the club was closed for two years but how can that be when they have been there in the last two years?

Episode 7: 'High anxiety' - Where were the yard monitors when Michelle & Denise climbed the fence to get the Frisbee? Schools never leave kids outside with no supervision.

Season 8

Episode 1: 'Comet's excellent adventure' - Comet had his leash when he ran away but later there is no leash. Even if he chewed it off, there would be something left & there wasn't. How did the dogs get on the cable car & on top of the coit tower? They wouldn't be allowed.

Episode 14: 'Super bowl fun day' - Joey & Jessie take the kids to a bar when Joey didn't want to take them to the museum. Kid's are not allowed in bars so this wouldn't be possible. The kids found the remote & the boxes to operate the tv's were out in the public area of the bar. Really? This set up would never happen. One of the bar guys was in two other episodes: when Jessie & family got stuck on the subway to the graduation & the other one I don't remember but I know he was in another one.

Episode 15: 'My left & right foot' - This is the episode where Becky sings horrible but sings decent in other episodes

Episode 17: 'Dateless in SF' - Another Valentine's day & not a word that it's Becky & Jessie's anniversary. How could they forget?

Fuller House Season 1

Episode 2: 'Moving day' - It looks like there is now a bathroom in the basement, when was that done? There was never one in there. Niki & Alex's bedroom is very tiny but it was never that small. Two people can't fit in that closet so yeah. I guess they want the boys to share a room but to shrink the twin's bedroom like that was crazy & kinda stupid.

Episode 10: 'A giant leap' - During the baseball game, DJ's oldest son uses Matt's credit card to purchase a Jersey. The cashier saw that it belonged to someone else & still ran it through. That would never happen if the cashier was smart. The store could be sued. Then at the end Dj's youngest son caught the ball that went right over the stadium, yeah right. 

Episode 13: 'Love is in the air' - Again Jessie & Becky's anniversary is not mentioned on Valentine's day. Why does this keep happening?

Season 2

Episode 1: 'Welcome back' - This is where Kimmy's brother shows up. All of a sudden he is younger than Kimmy and has a different name from Full House. 

Episode 6: 'Fuller Thanksgiving' - All of a sudden Joey is married (and has a ring on) with four kids. How come they were never mentioned in season 1 and he didn't have a ring on?

Episode 10: 'New kids in the house' - First off, I freakin' love that NKOTB were in an episode. Wish Donnie could have been but he had to film 'Blue Bloods', at least he did a zoom call. So many things though were wrong with this episode. DJ always had pillow person not unless something happened to it after the original series which then they should have explained better. I know why Donnie couldn't be on the show but he would never miss a concert unless he was sick or it was an emergency. The producers of 'Blue Bloods' work with Donnie the best they can when he has New Kids stuff to do (Donnie has said this  before). The guys have their own tour buses and don't use limos unless it's for a specific reason. Also, there would be no way the girls would be able to highjack the limo. It was a funny episode and all but yeah.

Season 4

Episode 7: 'President Fuller' - In this episode, Stephanie says she is 38 & later it mentions Jimmy is 28. There is nothing wrong with that but it doesn't fit with the whole storyline of Full House especially if in the original he is older than Kimmy and now he is younger. So confusing. 

Season 5

Episode 1: 'Welcome home baby to be named later' - The three kids go up to the attic to get some baby clothes that were long put away. Um, Kimmy is living in the attic. Does this mean there are two attics? Not only does that not make sense at all but it would change a large part of the show like in Full House the girls could have had their own rooms and same with the boys in Fuller House. 

Episode 16: 'The nearlywed game' - So in this episode, all the couples compete in a game to see which couple knows each other better. At one point Jimmy dresses up like Stephanie from an episode in Full House when she was doing a dance number for a telethon. He even did the dance (kinda funny). How would he even get clothes to match her outfit from back then? He mentioned something about how he remembered seeing her do that dance. Well if they are like 10 years apart & he is younger, he wouldn't have been alive yet when she did that number. Now if he was older like he is actually supposed to be, then he could say he remembered watching her dance. None of it makes any sense at all.

Well, that is all the crazy stuff that doesn't make sense from the whole series that I happened to catch. Again I am sure I missed a lot more stuff but this is what I was able to pick up on. Even though both shows are campy and makes no sense at all, I still very much enjoy watching the series. I was sad when it ended on Netflix. I do wonder how they would have handled the sad death of Bob if they were still doing the show. 

Top 15 Positive Songs

 Over the years songs have been put out with a positive message that we all should hear and even make them a part of ours lives. In this blog I will be listing my top 15 positive songs that I think the world needs to really hear. 

The songs are in no real order. They can be a personal positive message or a positive message about people in general. I will have a link to the video or song.

1) Firework by Katy Perry - This song is a self positive song that sends a great message. It can lift anybody up who is feeling down about themselves. Video Here

2) Everyday people by Sly & the family stone - I love this song. It's from the 70's and I remember growing up hearing this song. The world needs to hear this one for it sends a message about no matter our color etc, we are just people. This song will never get old for me. Video Here

3) Imagine by John Lennon - This is another classic that I'm sure everyone knows. I wish the world could live as one. Video here

4) Give piece a chance by John Lennon - Another oldie that gives a really good message to the world. The only thing I don't like about this song is that the chorus gets repeated over and over. Most of the song is the chorus. Other than that, it's a really great one to listen to. Video here

5)Love one another by Tito Jackson - This is a brand new song that just came out by Michael Jackson's brother Tito. Their brother Marlon also has vocal parts. I think this is another important song for everyone to hear. It has a great beat too. A lot of famous people and Jackson family members appear in the video which I think is cool. I am so addicted to this song at the moment. If you haven't heard it yet, you should and then share it. Video here

6)Fucking perfect by Pink - A great self positive song. Video here

7) Beautiful by Christina Aguilera - Another self positive song that goes along with Fucking perfect I think. Video here

8)Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson - I really love this song. I think the whole album has great messages and can make one think. I love the music video too. Video here

9)Keep the faith by Michael Jackson - I think this is an underrated song. It's very uplifting and has helped me get through some bad days. Audio Here

10) Don't stop believing by Journey - Who doesn't know and love this song? Audio here

11) Heal the world by Michael Jackson - Another great song by Michael Jackson Video here

12) Unpretty by TLC - Another song that I love and has a strong message about one's self. Video here

13) Born this way by Lady Gaga - This is kinda different self positive song but I felt it should be included. Video here

14) When we stand together by Nickleback - I know a lot of people don't like this group but they do have a positive message in this song. Video here

15) One night of peace by New kids on the block - This came out a couple of years ago I believe. Although I think we should have more than one night of peace, I think it still has a great message. Audio here

Hornable mention: This young lady from this season of America's got talent has an amazing voice. She got the golden buzzard but couldn't go on because her cancer has come back. She battled it once before and beat it but it came back and is taking a toll on her. Hell, even Simon Cowell started to get choked up when talking to her via video. Anyways, she did a song of her own called It's okay. I don't remember her real name but she goes by Nightbird. Here is the audio of her song: Click here

I know there are more positive songs out there that the world needs to hear or that we need to hear about ourselves but this is what came to mind when I thought about doing this list. 

There are a few sayings I want to close out with:

From Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation album: "In complete darkness we are all the same. It's only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you."

Anonymous about just getting along: "People just really need to to chill the fuck out. We're floating in space on a giant rock that we can't leave. Look at the stars or something, stop being so awful"

Another anonymous about equal rights: "Equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you. It's not pie."

Here is one more in a photo form:

 

I'm So Sorry...Is It Really Enough?

 We are constantly hearing those words, "I'm so sorry" from people after saying something wrong on social media or tv. If someone was a teen and said something wrong then years later realized they were wrong and apologizes, that's one thing. Young people may not truly get how wrong they are being and as they grow, they learn and change their thoughts. What is getting on my nerves is when adults who 100% know better say something very wrong then when they get called out on it, they say how sorry they are, they should know better etc etc.

I get that people make mistakes and sometimes at the heat of the moment, may something out of line but come on, this is getting out of hand. Adults are fully aware that words have power, they hurt and can cause harm to others. It's called think before you freakin' open your mouth! How can one not know that what they are saying is wrong if they are an adult? It isn't difficult to know if what you are about to say is disrespectful and hurtful. 

The newest thing I heard is about some news caster said something wrong about an Asian baseball player and how he doesn't speak English or doesn't speak it very well. How could he not know what he said was wrong before he said it? It's not brain surgery. Now he is saying sorry, he didn't know, since then he learned it was wrong, WTF? What is he, two? Yeah that is kind rude but it pisses me off that as an adult he had to learn this within a few days of saying something hateful that it was wrong? I have no remorse for people who speak hateful words especially when it is racists. As an adult, what is it that you still have to learn that you didn't learn in your earlier life that you don't say things like that?

Same with Christy Teigen. When she told someone they should kill themselves and other very disrespectful things. She was an adult when she said those nasty things to people, old enough to know better and to have learned already that you don't talk to people like that, yet she keeps saying sorry for things she has said and keeps coming up with "reasons". 

I'm not really on the cancel culture wagon but I think we need to start holding people accountable when they say harmful nasty things to or about others. We do live in a free speech country so I don't know how we could hold someone accountable for free speech. God am I already tired of the I'm sorry. It's gotten to the point where I don't believe most of the people who say it because I think most are just sorry they got caught and called out on it and they are trying to save their ass. 

I know this isn't going to stop but I need to vent about it because I am beyond tired of this kind of behavior from people who are old enough to know right from wrong. Saying sorry isn't enough for me anymore. People just need to think before they speak and watch what they say especially if you are in the public eye. 

Oh another person that just needs to stop is Wendy Williams. It seems like every time she opens her mouth it's something horrible against someone. She doesn't say sorry most of the time (which is fine by me)and she still has people following her. That is just as bad, that so many people think it's okay that she talks crap about other people. They are basically giving her the okay to continue to bad mouth others, so disgusting. 

What happened to respect and empathy for others? UGH

Trump Impeachment/The Left, the Right, Extremist, Who Is Right?

There are two topics I try to stay away from, religion and politics. Those two topics are dangerous to get into and can get very heated. Every once in awhile though I want to express my thoughts on these subjects because things just keep bugging me. 

Where do I start, I guess with the impeachment. There are so many different opinions about this. Do I think Trump played a part in the storming of the capital? Yes. Should he and others be held for their part in it? Yes. Is Trump fully responsible? No. Aren't the people who stormed the capital responsible? Yes. There are so many layers to all of this.

Anytime a leader opens their mouth, they are responsible for what they say. If what they say happens to lead the followers to do something bad, that leader is partly responsible for it. A leader holds great power. People look up to them and in some way treat them like a God, it's just human nature and we all do it even towards celebrities. When that leader says jump, the followers say how high. The followers will listen to the person they admire and look up to no matter how crazy the leader may or may not be. Take a look at Hitler and cult leaders. Those people have said some crazy shit and yet they STILL had/have followers who react to what is being said. Now I'm not comparing Trump to Hitler or cult leaders, I'm just stating how much power any leader has over their followers.

People listen to what their leader says and will believe in what they say even if it's a bunch of lies or twisted truth. This why is any leader has to be careful what they and how they say things. Trump has ever right to believe the election was rigged, to be angry about it and try to fight it. He still should have been careful how he said things same with the other leader type people who stood up for Trump. Everyone knows that chaos can easily be created by what they say. Trump may not have actually said to storm the capital and hunt down those who opposed him to make them pay but what he did say during the rally was just as bad and might as well have said to go do all of that.

He knows how much power he has/had and that people will take him up on his word. Trump could have said his speech in a much better way that didn't sound like he wanted some kind of chaos. Because he and the few other leader type people that worked for him said their speeches the way they did, it caused people to feel like they need to take action and do something about it. That's when they said okay, lets go fight and stormed the capital, beating people up, breaking into the capital, killing people and trying to hunt down the people that opposed Trump. For some reason the people that did this lost all sense of humanity and respect for human life. So yes Trump and others were partly responsible for the storming of the capital and should be held accountable of inciting knowing full well that what they said would cause people to react badly. Also, Trump should have called in the national guard way earlier. Hell they should have been there in the beginning. 

With all of that being said, people are responsible for their own actions no matter what their leader says. They should have the common sense and humanity to not go do what was done. A police officer lost his freakin life trying to do his job because someone decided to use his anger and beat the cop to death. Cops are people too and should never have to go through something like that. It's disgusting that some people think that that kind of behavior is okay just because they are angry and hateful. The other people that lost their lives shouldn't have lost their lives either. Sometimes a leader might say something that is completely wrong and the followers have their own responsibility to say "hey that is too far" and make the choice to not participate. What they choose to do or not to do is their part of responsibility.

For years and years, people have always blamed the right or the left for things that are wrong in the world. During the past four years and the capital incident, it got worse. Now people are blaming different extremist groups. So who really is to blame? How about just people, people are to blame. We need to stop putting everyone into groups then blaming the groups as a whole. This never worked and never will. When are we going to learn this? White people put blame on other races and Jews for things, other races/nationalities blame others that are not them, we blame other people, religion, the far left, the far right but when are we going to realize we need to blame individuals?

By blaming a certain group of people of something only creates more separation, hate, anger and violence. We are going to destroy ourselves if we keep doing this. It's not the far right, the far left or extremist, it's individual people. There are both good and bad in every group (even in hate groups). Some are violent on all sides and some are not. We need to put our differences aside and work together to make this world better and stop blaming groups of people for everything. I think this angers me more than anything that I am talking about. There have been violent democrats, violent Trump supports but there are also good ones. We can have different beliefs without separating ourselves from our loved ones or others, we can think differently without putting blame on another group. We are so much smarter and better than this crap.

So when I ask the left, the right, extremist, who is right? I say no one group/side is right nor wrong. Individual people are right or wrong or even responsible or not responsible. Blame individual people, not groups. Hold any leader responsible for their role in what happens when given a speech and get people riled up. This is my opinion and thoughts on things.

Humans On Other Worlds

 Whether you believe in aliens or not, there are millions of other planets and galaxies. Because of this, we can't possibly be the only living creatures in the entire infinite universe. I like to think that somewhere out there, there are other humans or human types living on distant planets especially if the planet is similar to earth.

I wonder, would the humans look exactly like us or would they have both same and different charistics as us? Would they have evolved like us or would their lives be completely different? Would they be far advanced, about the same or far behind in technologies? Would they have music, tv, movies & video games? If so, how different would it be from us?

I wonder if they would live in a utopia world or like ours with borders and wars. What language(s) would they speak? Would they have the same kind of animals as us? How about religions? Would they have wars, dictators, racisms etc? 

There are so many different possibilities on how their world could be. I like to think they are pretty much like us but maybe a little more advanced, that it's a utopia world but still have borders and now bullshit that tends to happen on ours. Although if they have free will, I am sure they have their issues too.

I sometimes think about these things and questions especially when I hear about how they found a new planet that is similar to us. I really hope one day we can find out. I know it most likely won't happen in my lifetime but it still would be nice if one day we can find out the answers to these questions. Just thought I would brain storm my thoughts and ideas on the matter. Hope all is well, take care 😀

How Bad Is Satanism Really?

 So, I just got done watching a documentary on Hulu called 'Hail Satan?' For me personally, I was always confused on what it really is and just figured Satanism was just bad. I'm not into religion but I do believe in a God and have my own thoughts on what God really stands for.

This documentary was very interesting. It wasn't just all about Satan. It did talk about what they really stand for, the battle between them and Christians and when both Christians and Satanism wanted to have their monuments at a state capital. This is what made it interesting to watch and learn something knew.

First, I do think church and state should always be separated. Everyone believes in something different and no one religion or God should be forced onto another nor should everyone follow the same beliefs from one religion. It's wrong. Therefore I think having any religious monument on any state property shouldn't be allowed. If there is one, others should be allowed as well, period. No one religion is better than the other.

Watching this documentary, I got a more insight of who true modern Satanist are and my initial thoughts just like everyone else's I'm sure, is wrong. They actually seem to be a decent group of people. They are basically Atheist but decide to come together and stand up for human rights especially if something is trying to force religion onto someone else. They don't actually worship evil and demons. 

The movies, media and religion has painted an un-true picture of them so now everyone has wrong thoughts in their head. There are of course bad ones who call themselves Satanist and do bad rituals, killings and worship demons. Those two groups are completely different and should be looked at as such. There are both good and bad in every group of people and that is what we should always remember before judging others.

The conclusion, one should always educate themselves about something before passing judgement on others, there is room for all beliefs and they are not bad people; they are like us just trying to get through this thing called life. I highly recommend this documentary. As I end this, below is their seven tenets which is like the ten commandments. They are pretty standard and just like some of the commandments, people in general should follow.

"The mission of the Satanic temple is to support empathy between people, freedom, unwillingness to tyrannical power, and protest against injustice,"

The seven tenets are as follows:

1) One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

2) The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

3) One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

4) The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach  upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

5) Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

6) People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

7) Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

New Kids On The Block Mixtape Concert 2019

I have been a fan of New Kids On The Block since the 80's and I will continue to be one. Luckily I have been able to see them in concert every single time including the ones since they have been back. I have never been able to get a ticket to meet them backstage but one day I hope to do so. I did get a chance to meet Joe McIntyre two years ago when they were here in Denver. I just stood by the tour buses and he came out to great the few of us that were there (yes I am that fan 😃 ). This year I couldn't stand by the buses because it was raining off and on.

I was so excited when I found out they were going to do another tour. The other people that are touring with them are Debbie Gibson (which I was pretty happy about), Tiffany (that it would be cool to see her), Salt and Pepa (only like a couple of songs of theirs but still cool) and Naughty by Nature (don't really know their music so this was meh for me). They call their tour this year the mixtape tour. 

The guys came out with two new songs and added them to the anniversary album of Hangin' Tough. I love the new song 'The boys in the band' and couldn't wait to see it live. It's a great song that pays tribute to boy bands. The video is funny and cool which you can Click Here to see the video.

When the tickets went on sale, I couldn't get them because I didn't have the money (which is usually how it happens) so I was hoping to be able to get a good seat later on. Then something really bad happened in my life; On Jan 12th, 2019, I lost my mom to cancer that nobody knew she had even her. She didn't get really sick till towards the end (I may write about all of that at a later time). Well when my sister, my dad and I were going through her stuff, we found a little bit of money that she had. 

My sister and I split it and decided to do something nice for ourselves with it. One of the things I did was get a ticket to see NKOTB. I could have used what I had to get a VIP ticket but I also wanted to get tickets to see someone else I like, The Piano Guys (you should check them out, they are pretty cool) and hopefully some photography stuff. I also wanted to bring one of my roommates with me since she is a fan but I couldn't find 2 tickets that were decent seats that didn't cost too much so I just got the one sadly. The good part in all of this, I was able to get second row from the stage on the side. This was the best seats I have ever had at any concert and made me more excited but sad at the same time.

Finally the day came, June 7th at the Denver Pepsi center. The whole night gave me mixed emotions but I still loved every minute of it and I so needed that night to happen after what I have been through this year (not just my mom but other things too).

The show was supposed to start at 8:00. When I got to my seat, I was VERY happy where I was sitting. Eight came and the DJ from Naughty by Nature and one of the other guys from the group came out onto stage 2 which was a small circle stage by the back of the place. They played a mix of mostly 80's songs getting the crowd pumped up (not that really needed it lol). A little after 8:30, the guys came out. I can't remember for the life of me what order they sang their songs in (I was living in the moment) but I know it was their older songs. At one point Donnie looked and pointed at me, it helped made my night. I'm not one to be "OMG so and so pointed/looked etc at me" but it still feels nice to be seen by someone you like. 

After a few songs, Debbie Gibson went onto the 2nd stage and sang a few songs then Tiffany on the main stage. I think NKOTB came back, then Salt and Pepa, Naughty by Nature, etc etc. It was like that the whole night, all of them taking turns being on stage. At one time Joe sang with Debbie when she sang 'Lost in your eyes'. I loved that. The last song was one of NKOTB's new song '80's baby' which also has Debbie, Tiffany, Salt and Pepa and Naughty by Nature singing. So all where on stage bringing the house down one last time. 

During the guy's new song 'The boys in the band', they went into different parts of the audience. They also had the cheerleaders from our football team the Broncos come out. They went down the side aisles and up onto the stage dance with their pom poms (they have cheerleaders in the video for that song so during the tour, they have them too). That was pretty cool and they stayed for a few songs. They guys did end back up on the stage with the girls. They guys also had a small mix of 80's songs play while they pumped up the crowd even more. Donnie said that so far we were the loudest crowd yet and I believe it because I had to plug my ears when the big screaming happened. I still walked away with plugged ears for 2 days and sharp pains happening every so often.

I had a blast and loved every minute of it (even when my ears hurt and during Naughty by Nature). Like I said, I did have lots of different emotions going on that night and wanted to cry more than once. I really wish I had the money to get my roommate a ticket because it can get lonely being at a show by yourself, she would have enjoyed it and she needed it too. They at one point had a kiss cam on couples, I missed my hubby during that time. I also thought about my mom a lot, it felt like she was there with me. Even though I had an amazing time, I wish I could give it back to have her alive again. Since I can't, I enjoyed and celebrated life that night the best I could.

I love NKOTB and seeing them live. They give so much energy (don't know how they do it night after night) and love, you can feel it. It's one of the best feelings. I can't wait to see them again and hope I can get those VIP ticket(s). Their set list is on spotify so I can list the songs that were played (not in the order they sang them): 80's baby (sung by everyone), you got it (the right stuff), step by step, I'll be loving you forever, tonight, hangin' tough, push it, o.p.p, single, the way, summertime, please don't go girl, lost in your eyes, I think we're alone now, cover girl, boys in the band, keep on smilin', if you go away, hip hop hooray, shoop, only in my dreams, my favorite girl, electric youth, jamboree, whatta man, dirty dawg, could've been, didn't I blow your mind and thankful. 

Baby It's Cold Outside and Other Controversy's

My God I don't even know where to start with this. So much is going through my head about these things that people have been talking about.

I guess I will start with the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving since it's the shortest. Some people were/are in an uproar that the black kid is sitting all alone on one side of the dinner table while all the white kids are sitting on the other side. To be honest, I don't know the real reason why it was drawn that way and nobody should speculate as to why without finding out the real truth.It was a very long time ago and during that time it was more excepted to show something like that. The cartoon shouldn't be pulled off the air, it's a classic and we should appreciate it for what it is and realize we have come a long way , be proud of that. Bottom line, we just don't know the REAL reason behind it so stop making up something and assuming.

Now for Rudolph. Yes I will admit that this cartoon shows teasing, bullying even from Santa and sexism. But I also see Rudolph refusing to change for others and to except himself for who he is. I see him proving to the others that they need to look beyond his deformity and to except him for who he is. In the end, that reindeer kicked ass and THAT is what we and kids should be taking away from this. To love yourself and show others to look beyond the thing that is "causing" others to be assholes. In order to tell a story about someone over coming something bad and to put out a good message from it, you need to show the bad. I think Rudolph teaches kids the positive things in this story and I think people need to leave this classic story alone.

Now for the bigger one. On the surface, the song 'Baby it's cold outside' does seem to sound like the guy is trying to force the girl to stay with him and coming up with every reason in the book to convince her to stay when she really doesn't want to. I can also see how this can trigger some people especially if they have gone through abuse or rape. I will be talking about the other half that likes to nitpick at things to find something wrong with it. 

If one was to REALLY listen to the song, it is easy to tell that it is far from a rape song. All one has to do is look up the lyrics on line, read it and understand what is really being said. I will break it down starting with the first part of the song:

"I really can't stay (baby it's cold outside)
I gotta go away (baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been (been hoping you'd drop in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hands they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (I'll put some records on will I pour)"

It's clear she is enjoying herself and doesn't want to leave. She just doesn't want her parents to worry. He is simply trying to reassure her everything will be fine and that's it's cold out.

"The neighbors might think (baby it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)(why thank you)
I ought to say no, non, no sir (mind if I move in closer)
At least I'm gonna say I tried (what's the sense of hurtin' my pride)
I really can't stay (baby don't hold out)
Baby it's cold outside"

She is now concerned what others will think. The part where she says "what's in this drink" is being takin' way too far. They didn't have date rape drugs back then and I am sure slipping something in a drink wasn't a thing back then either. Having the me too movement on people's brain is making them automatically jumping the gun here. She obviously really likes the guy and wants to stay but feels like she can't for fear what others might think. He is simply trying to let her know she doesn't need to be so concerned about what others think.

"Ah, you're very pushy you know
I like to think of it as opportunistic

I simply must go (baby it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but baby it's cold outside)
The welcome has been (how lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before) (and I don't even smoke)"

The first two lines are just them flirting with each other. Now she is concerned what her sister will think, her brother would "kill" her if she was late or didn't show up that night and her aunt would go overboard with her thoughts and probably spread rumors. She really shouldn't stay but she keeps finding reasons to stay. He is just trying to let her know that what others think isn't a big deal and apparently it's really bad outside and possibly too dangerous to drive which says he is also concerned for her safety.

"I've got to get home (baby you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me your coat (It's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I feel when I touch your hand)
But don't you see (how can you do this thing to me)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my life long sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died)
I really can't stay (get over that old out)
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
okay fine just another drink then"

It's very obvious that she is very worried about what others would say and think and that is the only reason why she wants to go. Finally she gives in her to her feelings for him and decides to stay. He is obvious concerned for her safety and is really enjoying her company. This song is very innocent and if you think about the time it was written, you can understand the song even better. 

This song has nothing to do with rape or anything close to it. I am so tired of this day and age, people are being so sensitive about things and read too much into things. There are a lot worse songs out there that are all over the radio and yet they get played all the time. We need to use our time and energy towards more important things that are going on in the world instead of worrying about an innocent song and classic cartoons that are not as bad as it seems.

Taking the song off the radio is pure censorship and that is a VERY dangerous road to cross. This is where it starts. What we need to be doing is fighting against these things from happening and demand that this song gets put back on the radio and to leave other classic things alone. Just enjoy the freakin' holidays and give to those who need help instead of being so damn sensitive about every little thing to where it starts fringing on our rights. We don't need other people to tell us what we should and shouldn't listen to or watch.

If one doesn't like the song/cartoons and/or it triggers them, that's fine; songs, cartoons etc are not going to be liked by everyone and that's okay. What is wrong is trying to force opinions down others throats and just because one or a few think a song/cartoon is wrong, it doesn't mean those things should be censored and removed to where no one can enjoy them. It will start with a song, then a cartoon then lord knows what else. Pretty soon what we hear, watch or read will be so heavily watched and will be controlled. We will loose our freedoms. That is a VERY scary thought and we need to make sure that NEVER happens. 

It seems like in some ways our world is improving and in other ways, things are getting worse. I really hope next year is the year that we start to put a stop to all this crazy non-sense sensitive crap. I hope we can truly understand what is being said, done, watched and focus on more important issues at hand. It's scary to think what will happen if this continues and gets worse. Us people obviously have a voice, we use it all the time on the net even when it's being an ass; so we need to use our voices for good and nip this craziness in the butt before it becomes something that we can't control anymore. This is how I'm using mine. 

The me too movement is important but we can't use that as an excuse for everything and to stop innocent things. Racism is also very important and we should be careful how we approach things BUT at the same time, we need to not over due it and claim that everything is racist etc. The net is a powerful tool, let's use it for good and calm down about everything. Please, for the loved of God before we will destroy ourselves and our freedoms.

A Week In California

Last week I took a trip to California but only for a week. It's been more than 10 years since I have been there but only about 4 since I've seen my parents and sister (that is still too long). I could only stay a week due to having responsibilities here at home. It wasn't long but it was still very nice to see my family.

I spent the first 2 1/2 days with my dad. The day I got there, I visited the mall I grew up going to. It was depressing. There were a lot of empty spaces and they remolded which makes it look more closed in. It's sadly dying. I have so many memories there. We then stopped at Round table pizza. I just HAD to have some. That pizza place is only in California which sucks because it's really good. 

The next day we spent the day in San Francisco. We went to this one place called Twin Peak. It's pretty amazing. It's basically an overlook where you can see the entire city 360*. Definitely worth going if ever in SF. Then we headed over to the Golden Gate Bridge to do all the areas around there. 

I couldn't walk the bridge because I am terrified of heights and bridges especially in SF with earthquakes. I did manage to walk up to the first tower though. After that, we went down to Fort Point which is below the bridge. I love it there especially when the waves hit the rocks. At one point the waves acted like dominoes when crashing on the rocks. There is this section of rocks that curve and the waves would start from one end crashing and work it's way around. It was so cool.

Then we drove across the bridge to Vista Point which is on the other side of the bridge. Then down to Baker Beach. This beach is right next to the bridge and it's pretty cool. The waves are a little bigger than what I have seen growing up going to other beaches. The only slight minus, the closer you get to the bridge, it becomes a nude beach. It doesn't really bother me unless someone is being creepy. I did take photos but they didn't come out like I was hoping. The bridge was often blurry in the background. It was kinda hard to concentrate because I was trying to not get my feet soaked (which didn't work out) and I was focusing on the rocks and water and forgot to look at the bridge to make sure it was in focus. I guess I need to re-visit there whenever I'm able to go back. 

While we were there, my dad and I did get hit with water washing up onto the beach unexpectedly. Our feet were soaked. Then I wanted to go around these boulders to try and get photos, I got hit all the way up to my butt. On the way back, it was scary because the waves wouldn't stop coming and my feet kept sinking. I was afraid the waves were going to drag me right out into it by an under toe or something, luckily I managed to get back around safely. 

After the beach, we went to the 'Full House' house. Unfortunately they were doing work on it so there was stuff in front but I still got a couple of quick shots. Then we headed to fisherman's warf and rode the cable cars. This was my first time. Well my dad said I rode one when I was a baby but I don't remember so it doesn't count. The line we stood in the first time was long and took forever but I still enjoyed it. It was a little freaky though but cool. By the time we rode the cable car back to the warf, we were exhausted and decided to head home. It was around 7pm by the time we headed back. What a long but fun day.

The next day my father and I went to the cemetery, a little shopping, saw one of my aunts and went to Alameda beach. It was a little cold so we didn't go far out into the water. The waves there are usually not too big, the sand is rough and there is a lot of sea weed but being there brought back memories and I had fun walk through knee high in the water.

The next day, my mom picked me up. We went to see her parents at the cemetery and drove by my aunt's old house which looked like they were not keeping it up the great. We then drove 2 hours to her house and pretty much chilled. The next day we were going to check out Folsom lake but I was too exhausted and she was getting over from being sick. We just just did a little shopping, I met some of her friends and put up little Halloween decorations. It was nice to just chill.

Friday I then flew south of CA to my sister's. That night we went to Downtown Disney because I wanted to see it and wanted to stop into a specific store. When I was a kid and went to Disneyland, I had some mouse ears but lost them when I looked over a balcony of our hotel. So I went into a store and bought myself mouse ears. It was pretty busy because it was the weekend and the Disney parks are doing a Halloween thing every night but it wasn't so bad that it was causing frustration. It did rain off and on which was a little annoying.

I also stopped at a kiosk and bought a couple of Disney pins. We went over to what they call the tiki bar but they were pretty busy. I did get to see some cool things in the bar though. Every time someone orders certain drinks, a little scene happens. While walking to the bar, we did pass the hotel that I stayed in when I was a kid and lost my ears. That brought back memories and cool to see the hotel again.

The next day we tried to go to Griffth planetarium but they were pretty busy. We went to this used book store that used to be an old bank and in one area of the store, books are in an old bank vault. The door is still on too. They even made a tunnel from "books" with little lights. It was a pretty cool place.

Then we went to the Grammy awards museum. It was smaller than I expected and thought they would have more stuff. It was very cool and interesting though especially the display case that had some of Michael Jackson's stuff in it including his white glove. See his clothes (and some other clothes of other people) made everything and the people even more real. I mean right there in front of me were clothes and the white glove MJ wore. When I saw the display, I want to break down and cry. It made his death more real. I grew up on his music and Motown so his death was/is very sad for me. I didn't cry though because I would have felt embarrassed.

We were going to go to a Wahlburgers to get but the nearest one was on a collage campus and there was an event going on which made parking $20! We were not about to pay $20 for parking to just go eat so we left. One day I will eat there. Wahlburgers is owned by Paul Wahlbuerg, Donnie and Mark Wahlberg. I also wanted to go to the abandoned zoo in Griffth park but the rain would ahve made it icky. I also wanted to go see Mj's grave but I wouldn't have been able to get in so I passed it up but next time I want to go when I am in that area.

We did go to a cemetery that is for the rich and a lot of famous people are buried at. It also tends to have peacocks walking around but that day they were in a cage. There were however several ferral cats roaming around which was weird and cool. We didn't stay too long simply because it would take a few days just to go through the place but it was still cool to see.

We didn't do much else except for eat out because they were still getting over a cold and felt kinda blah. Sunday, we did go to a couple of breweries and I tried some different beers. The second place, they ordered a couple of testing trays. I got a little buzzed. We also went to an ice cream place where my sister and I split an ice cream that was between two slices of a doughnut. It was really good but sugary. I finally headed to the airport to come home.

I had so much fun but also got worn out. I miss my family and wish I could see them more. Hopefully I can because going 4+ years without seeing them isn't good. I miss CA and the beaches. I wish I could invent the perfect place, the awesome nature of Colorado mixed with the beaches and cool things in California.
