You May Call Me "C."

I have to think a lot about what I "stand for."

Sat, 01 Sep 2012 19:35:52 -0400

Every one has to stand for something now a days it seems. So what do I stand for?

People. I stand for the people of the world. I stand for love. I stand for brothers and sisters, lovers and friends. I stand for the man at the butcher shop, the pharmacist trying to make a life with what he’s getting, for the girl waiting tables in you favorite restaurant. I stand for you. I stand for me. I may not always be right but I’m just one person with one opinion. Bring your opinions to me and bring this blog to life!

I wish Trump had stayed a candidate.

I had a good feeling about him. I really liked him as a president; he would have been good.

So why must we insist on sending our loved ones off to a war we can’t win? After all, how can we ever even dream of winning when either we die or they do?

Think about some one you hate. Some one you despise. Some one you. Cant. Stand. Now think about this: They’re human. Humans make mistakes. Is your rage worth it?

- -Valerie

I have never found words that wiggle into my life better than this. I love each and every one of you. I don’t know you, but I don’t need to. You are a person and, no matter what you have done, you deserve to be loved. Because each of us is different, each of us is special and each of us needs some one.

So if you ever find yourself lost, alone and without, remember. I am here. I am your friend. Your sibling. Your parent. I am here.

Never forget an idea can change everything. Never forget just one of your ideas can change your life. Never doubt yourself.

“Ignorance - (ig·no·rance) - [noun]: the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.”

- Ignorance, to me, simply means this:

One who passes judgment and speaks about something, regardless of positive or negative, without learning it’s pro’s or con’s first. Or easier said: Some one who doesn’t know what their talking about.

It breaks up easily enough:

Inorance
Ignore
ance

Ignore: purposefully overlooking information or not seeing information.

Need I explain more?

I found out something interesting today...

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:01:01 -0400

Every one who has seen the movie V for Vendetta, or simply has heard of the movie, has heard the poem the entire move bases is on. But, in case you haven’t, here it is:

“Remember, remember, the fifth of November
the Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I can think of no reason
the gunpowder, treason,
should ever be forgot.”

I have it posted immediately before this one, as well. I apologize now for the repetition. But that alone isn’t what I am writing about now.

The poem apparently refers to no the act of causing a rebellion and giving more freedom, not the idea that every one deserves their piece of life to live in peace any way they wish, to make decisions for themselves and say what they wish, when they wish and how they wish…but the exact opposite.

The poem refers to nothing else but the punishment the conspirators of the original Fifth of November were subject to.

The poem wants us to remember and take heed in their punishment, to never forget how becoming a “traitor” by fighting for what you believe in will only get you a kick in the rear and a swift death.

But I say no more. No more judgment, no more worrying about what we say or do. No, we dont get put to death for doing such things, but we certainly get punished. We are limited to what we can and can not do. We are forced into what we can and can not think is acceptable.

For example:

In Movies [in America]:

Death: no matter how violent or gruesome or saddening or depressing or simply WRONG it is, it is still okay to show such a thing. Even to our children!
Sex: Our bodies are something natural. The ancient Greeks used to believe that the human body is something of beauty. Not something to hide away from the world, but something the cherish; worship. Now, we are taught to hide our bodies, to be ashamed and embarrassed by them. Why is this? We should be seeing ourselves as beautiful, no matter what we look like!

Those are just two examples. But I digress. The topic at hand isnt how we are programmed to think. It is a simple poem.

This poem can make me feel so good inside, can make me think of how structured my very own life is and how easily I can change that. But the reason for it’s writing was so very opposite.

In england, on the Fifth of November, they still celebrate the day Guy Fawkes and his comrades [the Guys] “attempted to blow up Parliament.” It is said as “attempted” because they did not succeed. No, they failed miserably and were put to their death.

How is this day celebrated? By setting off fire words and setting bonfires. The worst part hasnt even come yet. No, the worst part is that children make “guys” to represent “The Guys” for that evening. They show them off to every one and ask for “a penny for the guy.” After that, they throw their “guys” into the bonfires, more than likely ever innocent to what they are truly celebrating.

Do you think they would celebrate if they knew they were throwing a representation of a man who fought for freedom?

I wonder how many British adults celebrate this tradition without knowing the history behind it, as many Americans celebrate Halloween without knowing the story of All Hallow’s Eve.

As they say. Ignorance is bliss.

“…the constitutions should be used less as a shield for the guilty, and more as a sword for their innocent victims.”

- Stollen from an episode of Law and Order I watched last night.

Sadly enough, it’s true. The constitutional rights should relate to every one, yes. But when you break the law and do something such as murder or rape or kidnap.

Certain things should make certain things legal. Such as, if a CHILD is KIDNAPPED, a detective should be allowed to use some…immorally unlawful tactics to find that child, as long as that detective knows the person before him knows where that child is.

Our country is fucked, it’s about time every one figures this out and does something about it.

How many people have to die before people realize that something isnt right?

Ten? Fifty? A hundred or two? More?

This will be the first entry of many. So I thought I would tell you a little bit about what I stand for.

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:32:54 -0400

I am a firm believer that people should not be run by their government. The government should be run by the people. And lately, that fact seems to be slipping away. And I dont know if it is simply because we are too scared to REALLY stand up for ourselves, if there’s too many of us thinking that we dont stand a chance…or if we think that we’re alone and too few to make a difference.

All I know is that I’m done sitting back and ignoring what my real thoughts are. The government is taking our lives over. They can tap our conversations on the phone, they chart where we go, they can find everything they need to about us with the push of a button for heck’s sakes!

And what makes it worse, is the fact that the “church” underlines everything the government does. Yes, the old US of A was a church-based and the laws were made on the context of “God” watching over us. Live as he would like us to live. Do as he wishes for us to do. Live as “good, humble people.” But how many of us are “humble?” How many of us live by those standards? How many of us are apparently, “Going to Hell?”

Any way. I believe we need some one now. We need a voice. Because those that are supposed to be our voice have abused their privileges. It is time, now, that we say no more and take over what was rightfully ours! It is time to show them that we do not take these bindings as an acceptable way of life! It will not keep us safe, it will not protect our children and it will not make anything better. The founders of the United States of America created this great nation to be free. So we could be free.
