Hello my compadres~! It's around nine-thirty pissy-mouse down here... (pissy mouse = p.m. incase you didn't make the connection...) And my mother is asleep on the couch behind me....Now to annoy her with music and really quick typing! Whoop! Type my Keyboard-Ninjas! Type!
"Keyboard-Ninja" is the uncommonly term used for fingers that move amazingly fast across the keyboard when typing.
Here's an interesting song.... interesting enough in the least. I've never heard of the band before today, but they are quite amazing. The inclusion of the violin/cello/stringy-instrument-that's-not-a-geetar was what finished off the song for me. The male singer's vocals are softer too, which is something that not many male singers go for these days. This is a live performance and the quality is pretty great. This is the real shiz, completely not the tampered with studio shiz we're normally forced to listen to.
This one is a Modest Mouse classic, haha. The beat is pretty great and i guess the vid along with it kinda fits, lol. Enjoy this one as well~!
Now...for my little "rant" of the day...
We (by we, i refert to some peers of mine and myself) were sitting in our Catholic Church Education class... CCE, if you will, ...... And the topics of Abortion and Assisted Suicide came into the conversations.
We'll start with the Abortion. Of course, when the teacher asked for opinions... Everybody basically said "NO!! ABORTION IS WRONG! AND BAD! BLAH-BLAH-BLAH!" I slowly lowered my hand so as not to get called on and fumed on the inside. Again, the teacher further questioned the class. "What if a woman was raped? Would she still have the right to get an abortion so as not to have her rapist's baby?" Guess what my close-minded and ignorant peers answered? "NO!! ABORTION IS WRONG! AND BAD! BLAH-BLAH-BLAH!"
It sounded like a friggin three year old giving a reason why they're right about something. "YEAH! I'M RIGHT! I'MRIGHTI'MRIGHTI'MRIGHT! YOU'RE WRONG! DONE!" How are they backing their opinions? Don't our righteous catholic teachers owe us an explanation as to why we damn all those that don't agree? Why is abortion so wrong?
If a woman is pregnant, it should be between herself and the father as to coming up with a decision on abortion. NOT the catholic community. You do not know the situation the mother may or may not be in. If a woman was poor, homeless, a drug-addict, or anything else that could be harmful to a child's life... Would you still want a child born into that environment? Do you honestly think that child will lead a happy and God-Oriented life? Wouldn't abortion just prevent this child from going through the all the "Evil's" in this world? How exactly is it a horrible thing to get an abortion?
I heard the excuse, "She could put it up for adoption."
To that, i quickly replied with a rant on the problems that MANY adopted or foster children face in their lives. A large amount of children in foster homes are abused, neglected, put-down, and deprived of things they need. Many think their original parents didn't love them, or didn't care for them. It's like a whole sea of negative thoughts. Needless to say, the kid that i exploded on didn't say another word on the subject.
I'm not saying that i'm all for abortion. I'm not saying it's always the right choice. But i AM saying that it is none of your damn business whether a mother and father can decide what the best option is. Ya get that? None. Of. Your. Damn. Business.
The next subject I didn't have much to rant about, but some of the answers did indeed piss me off. The teacher asked us if the elderly, terminally ill, or severely depressed could decide to have assisted suicide. For example, an elderly and suffering woman with not much of a family deciding she no longer wishes to live and asking for a doctor to euthanize her. Of course, the majority of the class said "NO! IT'S WRONG! IT'S KILLING SOMEONE!" A select few were silent or staring at their crotches. I assumed a few of them probably took my stand point and the other select crotch-watchers were simply texting "secretly". I myself found it acceptable and perfectly reasonable. Yes, it is slightly sad if somebody you love wants to die... But why should be condemn them for wanting to move on quicker than the rest of us? Why should we say no to the dying's wishes, whether dying on the inside or outside, when we know the reaper comes for us all eventually? She continued to say these things were wrong and horrible. I sat there quietly in all my pissed but respectful glory. Damnit.
Off to another topic! We (referring to peers and myself) were researching information for speeches we are giving in our Language Arts class. I got quite bored after finding all my sources and proceeded to browse through the Pro-Con topics the site had listed. I was scrolling and one had the title "Same-Sex Marriage." At the moment I'm passing over that particular passage..i hear "EEWW" over my shoulder. I turn quickly to see a skinny blonde kid looking over my shoulder in disgust. I asked him what he was talking about immediately and he pointed feverently at the bolded headline on the article i was reading about Same-Sex marriage. I stared at him awkwardly, being what i considered polite by holding back the curt response I'd almost blurted. He grimaced and said, "Don't you think that's just gross? Like, gays and stuff? That's nasty and weird." Guess what I said? (this is where i smile politely and talk in a sickly sweet voice) I told the little shit off. Nicely ranting about how we all have the right to love in any way we see fit. I then proceeded to ask him his reasoning behind his opinion. I know i must've had my "pissed-face" (the angry but calm face i somehow inherited from my mom.... I'm a master at the pissed-face these days...) because he stared awkwardly and mumbled something that sounded like "Just Kidding." I proceeded to calmly point out that I had a response for everything and that he best keep his pie-hole closed.
Now that I've ranted and told you about my slightly-frustrating-but-humorous-now-that-i-think-about-it Day, i'll close with a quote i got from a friend who got it from a friend of a friend's brother i believe...
"God Is A Black Lesbian And She Is Very Upset With You..."
I wonder if God really does wear plaid and have tittays...
Sayonara mah peoplez! Tune in...whenever i feel like writing some more! ;)
