6 women jurors followed the law and found George Zimmerman not guilty. I watched most of the trial and I am so glad they (the jurors) followed the law and did not give in to a guilty verdict because of the political or racial "pressure campaign" that took place before during and after the trial.

     In light of recent news stories such as Paula Deen and the Zimmerman trial I feel the need to rant.  First off, before you all start hating on me for what I'm going to bitch about, know this, I am a minority, not by my race but by way of physical disability.  I have cerebral palsy. Oh, before you guys say omg you have no idea what it's like for a "real" minority. Yes I do.  I have been discriminated against. I have been chased down by people on motor bikes trying to kill me just because I walk different.  I have been called all sorts of derogatory names.  I look at the word retarded the same way an African American looks at the N word, it's a disgusting word to me.  So now that I have said all of that it is time for my rant.

hey everybody I just wanted to give you guys update.  I am working on my autism special blog/podcast.  I'm writing the blog part first.  It's hard to remember when certain events took place.  We're not only dealing with autism, but ADHD and ODD oppositional defiant disorder.

So, I have been thinking about something the past couple weeks and I've decided to do it.  So here's my idea..........  I am going to do a special edition podcast about my son and autism.  It'll be a 2 or 3 part podcast.  I think it's an important topic and I know that something like this would have been a big help to me starting out.  So I'll be doing this soon!

     I know that every generation says this and I don't want to sound like one of those old people that complain about the younger generation. With that said, I think if any generation had reasons to complain about a generation it's my generation. Now I'm not talking long hair versus shorthair or smoking ,drugs and music, Okay well maybe music too, seriously, what is up with today's music? 1960s you had the Beatles, 1970s you had Pink Floyd, the 1980s, you had Journey and Aerosmith, 1990s you had Nirvana and now in the 2000's you have Justin Bieber, one direction, Nicki Minaj, and how can we forget the music stealing Lady Gaga, who can't form an original anything. Seriously?! WTF! None of the bands of today have any talent whatsoever, unless you call the "hoe" song really music and real talent.

Wow a new year has begun and I am hoping this year will be good.
Let me start with the best thing- Today is my wonderful son's birthday.  He is 15 but thinks/wishes he was 20 lol. This weekend we'll be going to his favorite restaurant and to see The Hobbit for his birthday celebration and then home for cake, ice cream and presents.
     Next, I see some big news for Bigfoot enthusiasts out there.  Supposedly a group captured a live Bigfoot (roll's eyes) we'll just have to wait and see but I won't hold my breath.

First I want to say My thoughts and prayers goes out to those who have lost their loved ones in this senseless tragedy. I am so sorry.

     As I sit here watching the news about the tragedy that happened yesterday in Connecticut a disturbing thought crossed my mind, it's a miracle if kids can literally survive school nowadays with all these school shootings, suicides due to bullying, and stupid dares or supposed "games". How screwed up is it that that thought crossed my mind? I have to worry if my son will make it to graduation. I want to teach him basic survival tactics just in case this happens at his school. This shouldn't be fears and thoughts that people should have. Xavier has already been through a lock down due to a stupid asshat that was in a standoff with cops a couple blocks away from his school. The worst my generation had to worry about was getting your butt kicked.

This is my favorite time of the year I know I sound all mushy but I love the warmth and the way people come together. I love the Christmas songs. My favorite song is rockin round the Christmas tree or Jingle bell rock. I love the oldie Christmas songs by like Bing Crosby and them you know. One of my fantasies is to have a house in the country and have a huge Christmas tree and have it all lit up with hundreds of lights and Christmas music in the background while sitting next to my fire place drinking egg nog with my friends and or family around. How cheesy is that? It’s just such a pretty time with all the lights. I’m getting excited.The only thing that sucks is putting up my tree.

So, it's November and so much has already happened.  A guy I used to babysit in the early 90's was hit by a car and killed Monday. Here is a news report on the accident.  So tragic. He was only 24. He will be missed very much.  Here is a pic of him from when I used to babysit him
Here is the Facebook Memorial Page RIP Ryan Esslinger

I think its so weird how I'm only 35 and have known 4 people who have been killed or murdered.  Thats 4 too many in my opinion.
