RIP Esmin Green

So, as I was posting the last blog I carefully thought out, someone named Esmin Green had since passed while waiting for a treatment at a NY psych hospital. She had been brought in against her will the day before for psychosis and agitation. Ms Green sat in the waiting room of the psych hospital for over a day, and collapsed, ending her stay there, at around 5.30a. The thing that bothers me is that all the patients sitting in the waiting room, all the security guards watching the cameras and all the doctors and nurses failed to do anything about her suffering. Ms Green collapsed onto the floor and was stared at and ultimately ignored by other waiting patients. The security guards must have thought she was simply sleeping on the floor, so they did nothing. Finally, after she writhed around for 5 minutes, probably screaming out or crying in pain, she breathed her last breath and died there on the cold, linoleum floor at a hospital that she was involuntarily brought to. Not cool. This calls for reform. Doctors (and I have come across this lately) could give a shit about those of us who suffer from mental illness. It's like we don't matter to them and we'll basically pay whatever they want for them to toy with us and give us diagnoses that drive us even more crazy. I just hope someone with some power sees this video and pushes hospitals to reform their way of thinking about how they treat their patients. No one deserves to die. Especially in a place that is supposed to be safe and life-saving.

Sooo.... I'm a Republican.


http://www.roflshirts.com/obama-nope


So, if you're a conservative like me, go and order this shirt. Everyone is so pro-Obama these days but what they DON'T realise is that they're being led like sheep. It's "cool" to like Obama. What most of you don't realise is that he will lead this country to it's demise. From being an adamant supporter of abortion in all forms, to having several very bigoted and racist friends, Obama will ultimately allow everyone to subside to their own stupidity, debauchery and sin.

For instance, he is going to eliminate the penalties for selling or possessing cocaine and crack-cocaine, or at least the differences. This is a man who will, probably, legalise drugs. Now ask yourselves, do we really need more idiots running around, coked out of their minds?? Getting into accidents and killing good, well-to-do people?

On a different note, he's going to strengthen penalties for hate crimes. Okay, so having an idea about a people and acting on it is unacceptable, but dealing and using crack-cocaine is okay??? I think they're BOTH unacceptable and BOTH should carry strict penalties. His criminal rehab programs?? Are you kidding? Where is he going to get the money and man power to fund these programs?? No matter WHAT counseling a criminal receives while in jail, he will ALWAYS go back to that way of life. A shit leopard NEVER changes its spots. Let me ask you, do you want a bunch of coke-head murders, drug dealers and child molesters running rampant on the streets and receiving out-patient "treatment" and very light sentencing penalties?? If you do, then by all means, vote for Obama.

His little "zero-to-five" plan to educate and integrate children into good schools by placing children zero-to-five in day care education facilities? Remember, he wants to get ex-cons into job placement programs... be careful, America... this man may be blindly placing several sex offenders into education jobs in order to "rehabilitate" them and help their "transition back into society." Plus, doesn't education begin at home? The problem with America today is that too many parents DON'T CARE about their children and are TOO BUSY to care!! Therefore they place their children in the hands of others, who end up molesting them, abusing them or mistreating them. So, if you don't care about your kids, vote for Obama!!!

His plan to reduce tax filing time to next to nothing will put many trained professionals out of jobs. Plus, this system has been working for how many years now?? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. He plans on eliminating taxes all together for millions of Americans. Okay, so how is he going to fund all of his plans?? This doesn't bode well... he plans to use federal funding to support the job market... how the hell is that going to work if he's cutting taxes for the middle class? What does he think he's gonna do, tax the hell out of the rich?? I'm all for the rich paying a shitton of taxes, but come on.... get real, Obama.

He's a HUGE supporter of abortion, in all forms, especially partial birth abortion. In case you don't know what that is... here's two graphics that explain it.

















But, mind you, he wants to institute more access to birth control in all forms. Which means it will be easy for people as young as 13 to get birth control, and thus have sex with whoever (even those dirty old men / ex-cons who will probably be hired as janitors in their middle schools), whenever, with little to no knowledge had by the parents. Oh but the parents are essentially being cut out of their children's lives... remember, day care will now offer education plans and hire convicted offenders.

However, his views on abortion and birth control seem to clash with his plan to make child support more easy to beget. This is funny, because with all of this free access to child planning and abortion, more women will put themselves at risk for having unwanted babies, and seeing as how he's not too much of a godly man (afterall, he is in favour of killing unwanted children as pictured in that horrible picture posted above), this is gonna be tough. So let's see... hate crimes are wack, abortion is cool, doing crack is cool, hiring ex-offenders is cool... okay, take from the rich and give to the poor-- that's what he's going to ultimately do seeing as how he's cutting taxes for the middle class.

So, ultimately, Barack Hussein Obama is a Communist. He believes in equal rights for everyone and is willing to make everyone and everything even-- finance wise, penalty wise, job wise.

Five Reasons Not to Vote for Barack Obama

Here comes the bride... slide me another drink. And a noose.

It's interesting because it seems that everyone I went to high school with, with the exception of 4 of my good friends, are getting hitched. It's interesting because the ones getting married or who are married are no real beauties... none of the guys and none of the girls. Most aren't ugly at all, but they're not drop dead gorgeous. I see a lot of people on TV getting married who are pleasantly plump, pimpled or snarl toothed. And I can't help but to wonder, what's wrong with me? Other than the fact I am bipolar, jealous and pretty high maintenance (emotionally), I'm attractive. I have nice teeth, a cute hair cut and colour, relatively clear skin (except for when I'm under a lot of stress), I go to school 5 days a week and work 2 so I don't expect anyone to pay my bills. I've never been pregnant, and I may not have huge tits but I do have a nice figure (I think) and a big ass (which I am very proud of)... so what's wrong with me? Is my personality ugly? It must be... I do come across as a bitch a lot of the times, but I work in a bar... and I see a lot of shady shit.

Anyway, my dream has always been to be married by 27 and now that I'm only 3 months away from my big quarter life crisis, it's starting to look like the end of life as I know it. How am I EVER going to meet and fall in love with in the two year time period I have left to achieve my goal? I, honestly, feel like a loser for being single at 24 years and 9 months. I feel like I'm about to accomplish my goal of getting a college degree (4 years too late), but that doesn't matter. I'm not at all proud or excited about it.

I always seem to pick the guys who aren't right for me. They're all educationless wanna be's who have this dream world they're always living in. Am I not finding the right guy because I go for looks and not personality?? Is it because losers are attracted to me?? Am I too picky? I'm sorry but if I can get my college degree, anyone can, and that's probably the most important thing I look for in a man: education. Because, let's face it, my spending habits don't allow me to shower others with gifts or generously pay their bills... the first guy I dated was in college but dropped out (and had a tiny penis)... second guy was an alcoholic who was barely responsible enough to show up to his job as an HVAC technician... third guy was an illegal immigrant with no college, working as a cook (and still does, 5 years later).... fourth guy was a drug swinging, closet homosexual who made a living off of stealing other servers' books; he became a realtor later and, not to knock it, but come on... that takes little to no education.... fifth guy lived in his mom's basement and played WoW all day, deciding to prolong school, didn't have a job, couldn't hold a job because of his temper, went crazy due to the military, etc. STILL hasn't graduated... sixth guy was a bartender, IS a bartender and will always BE a bartender, hoping to get noticed as a scriptwriter (in Northern VA?!?! Please!!!!), oh, and he's a coke head.... and the most recent guy, the seventh guy, he's a dreamer. He has been in and out of college for as long as I have, plus one year, STILL isn't anywhere NEAR graduating, has moved back and forth to Nashville over the past 5 years of his life, went through 8 jobs in the period we dated (on/off for 1 1/2 years), is chasing a dream of being a lead guitarist and going on tour, though, nothing has come of that and this is his 3rd or 4th time back in Nashville.... I just don't know where the hell to find a good, educated, honest, quality man who is handsome and caring!!!!

Someone!!! Please!!!! Tell me WTF I'm doing wrong!!!!!
