The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Today I discovered something that really irks the shit outta me.



Reading news articles that are pertaining to the war over in the Middle East and how the troops are being pulled I see a comment linking to another article about how another war may be starting soon.



Ok, I get that the Middle East ain't exactly paradise and that happens, but the comments make me want to gag.



First of all, people that are always blaming the president for every single issue in the world and how they aren't doing something to stop it.



I get that Obama is our president and I get that he has a say in what happens, but last I checked, Congress is the ones that typically declare war. Now, it's been a few years since I've been in school, but I am pretty sure that the government is not run just by Obama.



I know it is easier to just push blame on one person or thing (it happens with religion as well) but step back and look at the big picture. Obama is one person. He is not a king or dictator of the country. He is the president. There are two huge groups of people under him that can just as easily overrule ANYTHING he says. Stop blaming him for everything -_-



Second thing. These people saying that he won't get involved with this upcoming conflict because of his background and such really really need to learn better grammar and spelling. Text speak doesn't convey a message well with it is pertaining to a political issue. It makes you come across uneducated and plain out stupid. Even more so when you go "I hate Muslins." Glad you hate a type of fabric, but this topic is about the Middle East, not clothes.



Usually the same people with the horrible grammar and text speak are the ones that are blaming everything on Obama.



I think I read it in VW's journal about how only 23% of students passed the ACT this year. I'm starting to see why. What is happening to the youth? I know I am not that old myself, but I feel that I am educated pretty well.



It saddens me to see more and more people dropping out of high school. I think the biggest example would be my little brother. He made fun of me a few months ago because I am unemployed and was seeking disability. This coming from the mouth of a kid who will be turning 18 in a month and half and dropped out of school 3 years ago.



Now, I may not have a job right now, but I am well provided for by my boyfriend who does have a job. In my situation, I still pull my weight and do the cooking and cleaning. Unlike my brother who mooches off my parents and does nothing but go party and eat 800 dollars worth of food in a week.



Now, I feel like a better person because I feed the people in the house, clean up after them, and I have a high school diploma and college degree. I may not be bringing in lots of money and for part of the day I sit around and play video game, but things are fine with us.



I guess I have some odd morals. I want to see my brother at least get his GED or something. He doesn't even have a job right now. He knows my mother is kicking him out right after his birthday and has nothing lined up. I knew that was coming for my 18th birthday as well, I got myself a job.



It just saddens me about kids today. Maybe it isn't the kids, but the lack of parents giving a crap too?



I don't know. And I totally strayed from the point.



Off to go find food. xD

Ok, the past couple of days have been filled with screaming children and overall loud noises.



Today I was expecting the worse, 4 kids here. I was amazed.



I woke up around 6:30 am when Sean got up for work. I went downstairs with him to make sure he took a lunch and to say good bye to him as he was leaving.



I didn't expect a 5 year old to follow me down. Gavin ended up coming downstairs and asking me for a bowl of cereal. He was so cute and polite about it I went digging for some for him. About an hour after Sean left, his mother came downstairs with Dragen behind her. I think he is 8 years old, not too sure. The two boys ended up watching the original Karate Kid movie while waiting on their mom to get more cereal from the store. They were pretty sweet the entire time. But then their little sister woke up and realized Mommy was gone. The oldest came down and calmed her down just as the mother was getting home.



Then I got talked into playing baseball with the boys. I think I did ok for my first time. I hit it a lot :D





For now I am worn out, then I will work on my moms stuff. Grr
