Clap if You Believe in Me: MY LIFE

So Amara said to me a little while back that I hadn't done a all about my life blog and I really havent been in the mood. But she is right like she is most of the time. I just thought Id kinda give ya run down for anyone who cares. So things right now are hecktic with physical therapy and doctors and the holidays. Its all be a whirlwind. I couldnt do it without Amara, I mean if I didn't have her Id be stuck, she cooks, cleans, shops, drive she does all the heavy lifting and she changes almost all of the dirty diapers and all while looking freaking hot plus she has more patience when it comes to me then my own mother and for those who know me that is saying something she is truely the love of my life and my soulmate. As far as things with Darrell it couldn't be better. I know all parents say this but my kid is so damn cute and smart as hell. He is only 16 months yet he is doing all the things a 2 year old should. Its just so cool to talk to him and have him understand. You tell him to go grab something and bring it to ya or tell him to get ready for bed and he at least tries to. Also he still is a dream to get to bed, which no reason to curse me I know it will all catch up with me on the sleeping. As far as friends go all is well. Family is differnt note as far as my side now im not gonna go into that cause it is way to personal. There gonna be 2 weddings in June I'll be attending I even get to be the best man at one of them Im really stoked about that , the other though well hmmm the jury is still out on that one, sorry fire Overall I feel drain and little powerless due to my injury but I have a calm that I didnt before all this. I just wanna thank all you guys for giving me an outlet to speak. Merry Yule to you all TINK

PhotoShopping for Cover Girls: SIZE 2

OK OK I've got an ax to grind or more like resharpen cause this is an issue I've kinda covered before. Why is any real woman who makes the limelight riddiculed for their looks and why oh why must insist on photoshopping the hell out of them in magazines so that they are unreconizable.

The most recent case as some of you have heard of dumbasses attacking a real woman is Jennifer Lover Hewitt who as been the target of mockery for being spotted with what some people are calling a fat ass. To this I say really what is fat about her. Fat should mean a person who is of such a size that it is unhealthy and it shouldn't be a term of mockery its condition brouught on by lack self control when eating or genetics, I know cause im fat. I mean take a look at Mrs Hewitt here is she really fat?.

On the left and in the middle is the pictures that have cause all the trouble and on the end is a picture taken a week or so after the first two. Seriously in all of these pictures she looks great. Granted she ain't dolled up at the beach but a woman that puts on make up before going in the water is no woman I wanna be with. Jennifer is just to real for these over critical brain washed assholes that think that you can't have an ounce of body fat or any flaws at all or your just not worthy of being seen. I mean honsetly which of these two women below do you prefer.



If you said the anorexic chick then you have issues and your adding to metal warping of young women,

So as we know no one is perfect and Hollywood knows it too. Yet here come the computer age to save the day. For many years now magazine have been useing computers to edit photos of models. Things like removing pimples, scars, blotchy skin, bad lighting and etc. Yet a trend has popped up in recent year of complety altering the physical look of the model or celebrity. Here are some examples.



Here is a photo of America Ferrera, the sexy as hell star of Ugly Betty. taken around the same time. Now notice that her hips and arms a slimmer from one photo to another. This was just a slight alteration but was it really needed? I mean she is a fatastic beauty without any work why must we soil natural beauty with editing. Yet here some examples of takeing this editing futher.



Ashlee Simpson on the left is pre-plastic surgery, bottom right is post-surgery, and top right is a shot from Complete Woman magazine.



Stacy "Fergie" "Ferguson on the left is her recent cover of Blender magazine and the right is a recent photo.

Now tell me that those magazine pictures looking anything like the actual person or for a matter of fact a living person and you would be a fucking liar. I mean they looks so fake it makes me sick literally. I cannot stand to look at these magazine pictures so scroll down so we can't see them. I mean Ashlee Simpson was a punk hottie to me and then she goes and has this surgery now she looks like a valley girl and then she gets photoshopped to look like a living doll and of magazine to do it in then a magazine called Complete Woman, bet it says complete with battries inculded cause these women are toys. Fergie on the other hand I really don't find much sexual appeal in her but still why if they wanted her on the cover so badly did they feel the need not to put a real pictures of her up. Don't they stop to think about the untold damage they are doing by distorting the image perception of youg people especially girls





I know this cause I was one of these people but I didn't take it out on myself. I took it out on others. Anyone I thought didn't look perfect or dress perfect and it was all just cause I didn't fit in either but I felt if I pointed out other peoples flaws they wouldn't notice mine. I mean how fucked up is that and to see now how plastic surgery has become so main stream and people are afraid to age. We got Hollywood cramming it down our throats like drugs that we gotta be perfect. For example take a look at this Dove ad you may have saw bringing to light the altered perception we have of beauty.





Wow just ad 2 inches in neck why don't we and thin out the checks. Now Im not saying that you have to be large either im not call out for people to gain wieght if they are skinny either. What im saying is be healthy, be you, and if someone don't like your pimples, ass, hair, clothes, or whatever then just take comfort in the fact that they only reason they are pointing it out is beacause they are an unsecure prick or bitch who needs to come to terms about how they feel about themselves and realize they are fine they way they look too.




BE UGLY, IT'S HOT!!

I Gotta Hit the CANdidates

Were a less then a year from electing a new president, thank god.  Problem is now which asshole or spinless bastard to choose.  Every election  I usally have one candidate in mind by this time but this time I cant seem to come down to one so what I thought I do is go through the one I think have a chance and list the pro and mainly the cons cause presidential candidates never have many pros.  alos maybe you guys can give me some feedback on what you think about these candidates.

Democrates (list in order of who i think has the best chances)

1.Barack Obama
Pros:The man got a good spine he doesn't seem like he would fold on the issues as often as most would have you seem. Also when he talks he seems genuine.  I can usally smell bullshit and most of what he says doesn't come across as that. 

Cons: He is purposley playing the race card.  He wants me to vote for him cause he would be the first black president. He even got the queen of blacks Oprah to back him.  He is pimp her out for votes and i don't like that. He black so what that should be a reason to vote for him.

2.Hillary Rodham Clinton
Pros: Has more spine and bigger balls then any other Democratic candidate, plus she have Bill at her side to help back her and he has experience to give.  It's like getting two presidents for the price of one. She is also ruthless she has that maneater additude, she seems like a lady not to fuck with.

Cons: While she fights for issues she stands for, if it aint on her agenda she won't take any stance on it.  Plus that ruthlessness that is such a pro can also be a con.  Cause what whould she be willing to do to the American public just to get what she wants.

3.John Edwards
Pros: None that make him stand out other then he seems like a nice guy

Cons: Spineless, seems to flip-flops on issues

Republicans


Now IM gonna take a different approach with the republicans cause they  all seem to have the same pros and cons, but my top runners are 1. Rudy, 2.Fred Thompson, 3. Ron Paul


Pros:  They all have good spine they don't seem like trhey would back down  from a fight. They don't flip flop  very often.  Also most seem to genuine or at least commited in their statments.

Cons: Almost all of them are anti-abortion expect Giuliani.and also most are anti-gay  rights  now dont get me wrong im pro- gay right for them to have the same rights as us not  any of that hate crime crap. Lastly they come across as willing to do whatever it takes even lieing to Americans to get the job done.

Now where I stand. 
Pro-gun
Pro-abortion(even though I think its a horrible act)
Pro-gay rights
Pro-eviroment control
Pro-seperation of Church and state*
Anti-war
Anti-big goverment
Anti-illegal immigrants
 

*Mainly this eliminatea Mitt Romney who is a dick for suggesting that freedom needa religion. which is to imply that atheist don't like freedom. This assholes says he will tolerate other relgions if elected to that I say my relgion is none of your concern and anyways Mormons belive they are the one true church and its their duty to convert others.  So how can I trust this ass not to get all preachy without comprimiseing his faith. I just don't trust him like most Mormons.(TO ALL MORMONS ON MY FRIENDS LIST IF YOUR ON IT I DON'T MEAN YOU CAUSE IF I DIDN'T TRUST YOU I WOULDN'T HAVE YOU ON MY LIST)

Overall it gonna be another year where im picking the lesser of two evils. I know there are good candidate out there that have no chance of making it like Gravel he got a good idea and he is passionate but as always he don't have enough buddies in the right places and he is to honest to have a good shot.  It seems we are doomed to pick people we know we can't fully trust because we know voteing for anyone else would be throwing our vote away.

So tell me folks who should I vote for and why and if you see something wrong about a candidate I've listed then make a comment I want to here from you guys.

Love,
Tink

Have a Merry X-mas or Yule Be Sorry

Hey all been takeing it easy I got another month off work and then I should be back to work.  Otherwise I havent been on much cuase of the holiday's and some close friends just had a baby if ya wanna see him he cute as hell just go to http://web.mac.com/jecroft and click on the Alixzander Boyd Croft section. So anyways I've been taking it in this holiday season cause I will probally not have this much time off again until I retire and i'm really enjoying myself.  Yet the same old holiday annoyances have reared their head along with some new ones.

First would it kill the stores to wait till mid November to put up x-mas stuff.  Why o why must I see it right after Halloween.  I any of you are buy decorations that early you shoudl be beaten like a naughty child.  Then there is the music. I love alot of X-mas music, not much of the kids stuff though,  but store just can't wait to try to put us in the mood to shop.  It's like they are trying to trick us into think that its already December and we only have 3 weeks to shop.  WAKE UP PEOPLE ITS JUST BARELY DECEMBER!!!.  So by the time Christmas/Yule comes round I'm so sick I could spit fire. 



Second is that store have diverted from saying "Merry Christmas" and have chosen to say "Happy Holidays"  as they say that Christmas is mainly a Christian holiday. While that is true Christmas in this day for me has gone beyond religion and has taking on a meaning for me that means love and peace of all.  If you say soemone has the Christmas Spirt I take it as they have a the spirit of giving, family and love.  Why must we turn it into another religion battle we have plenty of time during the rest of the year to argue that why can we spend at least this month loving each other and make up for all the horrible shit we're going to say and do to each other this next year.




Nest is more personal for me and that is the Christmas Shuffle I like to call it. Which is the run around  some people make when they have more then one family to visit on Chistmas because you can't get both familes together.  I mean it is impossible to get my inlaws in with my family and since I have a child both sides act like that make me obilgated to spend time with them n xmas and I love to but I hate the fact that I have to figure out how, and it usally means running from on house to another more then once.like spending x-mas eve at my parents and the wifes and decieding who gets more time.  Then X-mas morning spend early morning with the inlaws then leave go to my parents and leave after dinner and go back to inlaws for a later x-mas dinner.   I mean why, why do I and countless other have to do this.  So do what I did tell them they have to deal with only see use everyother  year or come up with another plan.  and so this year we are gonna spend x-mas eve with my parents and x-mas day with my inlaws I say its fair both get uninterrupted time with us and no running around.  So this year make it about you and family not just about the family if you feel rushed then you aint gonna enjoy yourself.



and lastly is some people have turned up there noses to the classic Santa phrase "HO, HO, HO"  saying that the word "HO" has a relation to a prostitute and to have a beloved childrens character shouting out the term for hooker would be wrong and instead Santa shoudl say HA HA HA.  To anyone who believe this bullshit just stay home please don't come out this Christmas because your what we like to call an Idiot. To imply that Santa is calling to his whores like he is some kind of Noth Pole Pimp is stupid and if anything is a joke for adults and adolescent boys. 



So what I'm saying is drop all your  negativity people this season and spend time with those that are important to you.   Don't let corperate America, picky family, and religion ruin your fun.  
 

HO HO HO, Merry  Christmas
