a Christmas Message

I found this a long time ago, and thought I should share it. If you
have a dirty mind, you'll get it. Enjoy. ;p

Subject: Letter from Santa, Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009.

Dear Friends,

I have been watching you very closely to see if you have been good
this year and since you have, I will be telling my elves to make some
goodies for me to leave under your tree at Christmas. I was going to
bring you all the gifts from the 12 days of Christmas, but we had a
little problem. The 12 fiddlers fiddling have all come down with VD
from fiddling with the 10 ladies dancing, the 11 lords leaping have
knocked up the 8 maids a -milking, and the 9 piper's piping have been
arrested for doing weird things to the 7 swans a-swimming. The 6 geese
a-laying, 4 calling birds, 3 French hens, 2 turtle doves and the
partridge in a pear tree have me up to my sled runners in bird shit.
On top of all this, Mrs. Claus is going through menopause, 8 of my
reindeer are in heat, the elves have joined the gay liberation and
some people who can't read a calendar have scheduled Christmas for the
5th of January. Maybe next year I will be able to get my shit together
and bring you the things you want. This year I suggest you get your
asses down to Wal-Mart before everything is gone!

Should This be Acceptable?

Yes, I know, I haven't posted sense the war of 1812. Speaking of
which, someone told me that war didn't actually start in 1812. As
stupid as I'm gonna sound for asking this, I wonder if that's actually
true. I mean in a way, that actually makes sense. But that's not the
purpose of this post.
So about a month ago, my sister told me about a facebook group she saw
that clamed that "teen mothers should be publicly executed.". And
although she was 19 when my nease was born, she was enfuriated, and I
imagined she would be. So later, I decided to google this facebook
group, and this is what I found

"Tired of your taxes being spent on chavvy little girls who couldn't
keep their
legs shut, bringing up children to follow their lack of morals? Well you
can do something about it, get your own back. Lets have them publicly executed."

Now I'm definitely not encouraging teen age pregnancy, but that, in my
opinion, is what I call obviously harsh, and closed-minded. While I
do know a fair amount of teens who don't take care of their children,
I also know an equal number who actually do. and although they may
not have been trying to get pregnant, quite a few of them are some
of the best mothers out there, believe it or not. Also, I would like
to know whether or not the creater of this group (whose gender I
honestly don't know) would regret creating that page if he/she had a
teen aged son or daughter who ended up having a child? sure most
parents would be disappointed in their children for something like
this, but unless you're not what i would consider a decent parent, you
wouldn't wish death upon your child for having sex and getting
pregnant, now would you?

Does this ever occur to anyone else?

I haven't recently had a relative or close friend pass away, but after speaking with a friend of mine yesterday, and learning about the death of a friend of hers, I started to think; whether you got along well with a particular person before they passed or not, do you ever wish you hadn't done/said certain things to them? Do you wish you would've/could've told them something you never got the chance to tell them? Do you even realize exactly how important they are before they're gone? Another friend of mine had her brother, who was only six years old pass away a few years ago. She explained to me that although she didn't see him often as they didn't live under the same roof, the majority of her memories of her and her brother were the two of them arguing. She explained that although most of the arguments were over silly things, she wishes she had been much nicer to him. I also found out last night that a teacher my friends often took for granted during my seventh grade school year drowned earlier yesterday afternoon, while trying to prevent his son from having the same thing happen to him. But on a slightly happier note, his son did end up making it out of the river safely. Now this gave me something to think about. This particular history teacher and sports coach may have been annoyingly strict, but he died a hero, father, husband, teacher/coach, and of course a loved one too many other people. That having been said, even the most irritating people in our lives can somehow mean the most to us, but we never notice it until after we learn that we will never see them again.

Things that really aggravate me at the moment

First of all, between two or three particular people, on a daily basis, I get text messages from them saying "hey". Now it's not that I don't like talking to them, but after talking to them in person, you would think they would have much more to say than just "hey", or "what's up?". I don't mind getting texts like that from people I haven't spoken to in a while, but I talk to those particular people pretty much daily. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with speaking your mind, but do you think the stranger walking down the street ahead of you really cares how ugly you think he is? Probably not; it's just too bad my brother doesn't understand that. :p you don't have to see him on a daily basis, so is it necessary to point out stuff like that, especially if he didn't ask? Now if he actually had asked, as polite as I usually try to be, I'm pretty sure I would've given him my honest opinion, but he didn't, so who cares? Besides, pointing out unnecessary stuff like that is just childish, in my opinion. I'm not saying you should lie about what you think, but if you have a negative opinion about something like that, it would be much more respectful to just keep your mouth shut. And finally, what purpose do lifeguards serve, if they refuse to do their job? During a conversation I was having with a friend of mine who works as a lifeguard at a public city pool in her area, she explained to me that another lifeguard was sitting on the edge of the pool, wearing regular clothes, and a little boy who was struggling to stay above water was in plain sight. Her excuse for not going to help the little boy was "I'm not wearing a swimsuit.". So what if he had drowned? You would've been fired, right? Probably. So if I were you, I would've jumped into the pool, no matter what I was wearing. Sure, my clothes would've been soaked; which in most cases, would aggravate me, but it's much better than witnessing the loss of another human life, when you could've done something to prevent that. But anyway, Jasmine, who didn't have to work for another 30 minutes after she got to the pool and wasn't wearing a swimsuit either, decided that instead of making the other lifeguard actually do her job, she was going to rescue the boy herself. Good for her. I'm starting to hope that other lifeguard gets fired. Okay, rant over.

random stuff..

Okay, a few things: 1) I'm honestly still trying to figure out how to use this thinggy. 2) when you sign up for things such as social networking sights, and you're asked to name your gender, why do we have the option to select "other" as our gender? Really, what other genders are there besides male and female that I'm not aware of? :p 3) If anyone actually sees any unintelligent posts besides this one in the future, I oppoligize; I can never think of anything productive to post, that someone else hasn't already posted. 4) On a random, pointless note, I reeeeeeeeeally want pie! :d
