What's up with all of the screwed up people out there?  The parent of an autistic child gets a letter from one of her neighbors telling her to euthanize him, an eighth grader gets molested by his teacher, the teacher pleads guilty and gets 15 to 30 years, some of the teachers from his school support him, the school district has not done anything with the teachers who say it was a one-time thing and is not a pedophile, meanwhile somebody burned down the victims garage while the family slept and nobody does anything about it, and three kids kill somebody because they were bored and for the fun of it.

    
     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.

     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.

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.

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving. 
This afternoon, we'll be going to John's sister's  and then we'll head on over to my mom's.  This year kind of sucks because we don't have any money for Christmas.  We normally go through all the ads and plan what we'll be giving that year but not this year.  I normally get a tax intercept in May or June from child support but they hold it until November/December so I use whatever I get for Christmas and my son's birthday but this year my ex didn't either get anything back because he changed what he claims so he wouldn't "lose" his money to us or he didn't file either way he just screwed his son out of Christmas and birthday presents and a party.  I'll have to not pay some bills or something to give my son a Christmas and birthday but it won't be much.  Sorry, don't mean to be a downer.  It's just depressing to not be able to give your kid a proper Christmas and Birthday ya know.
     Anyways, I can't wait for left overs! The best food ever is the turkey sandwiches the day after Thanksgiving and of course the stuffing and pumpkin pie :) Again have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
