Homeless People

Homeless people (or hobo's). Depending on the individual, a non-hobo will either say they are a nuisance, a functional member of society who refuses to do nothing, or they have just been put in a really sad situation so we should give them our money. Yeah, we totally don't need our money.

I am on the "they are functional members of society who refuse to do anything" wagon. In the downtown area of where I live, it is not uncommon to see hobos with a Tim Horton's coffee cup asking for some spare change, yelling profanities at you when you don't give them change, washing your windows at busy intersections, and just bitching about something. My problem is this - why can't they do something for themselves instead of making themselves the taxpayer's problem? I'm all for helping those who are seriously in need - the sick, the immobile, the handicapped (not including the ones who claim they're handicapped because they let themselves get too fat), but not those who can do something for themselves.

I really don't care what excuse they give. If you can move and talk, you can get yourself to a computer (the public library has these) or a career counselor (some of which are free) and get yourself a fucking job. Garbage collector, janitor, whatever. They need to have respect for themselves which they CAN NOT gain if we, the people who work the 9-5 busting our asses off, give them even a penny of our money.

Again, I know there are exceptions to this rant. I know there are people out there who are mentally ill or have some other kind of legitimate handicap. The others though? They're asking for our money because they know they can guilt us. We're Canadians. We're nice. Too nice. But my point here is that by being the person who gives the able bodied people money for no service, we are actually aiding their own personal regression. How can a person feel good about themselves taking money from a stranger who worked their ass off for that money? Without self confidence, you gain nothing. With it, the world is in your hands.

So next time you walk by a hobo and don't give them your change - don't feel bad about yourself. Don't think you did anything wrong. Just hope that they'll eventually come to a point when they feel they can do something for themselves. You don't have to. Don't get involved. Be nice. Be a Canadian.

Deception

Note: I suggest reading this through once without clicking on the links. Then read it again with the links. There is a hidden message in the body of this entry. Also, for those who don't understand it, I am not in an abusive relationship. Enjoy!

I woke up today. In my mind, the image of his smiling face still flashing before my eyes. Reality is no escape for my nightmares. How could he? It's killing me.

My insides yanked around. My outside torn. Oh, why has all this happened? Ah! Very evil. You outrageous ugly demon! Oh no, enough!

For years, I've looked up to him. I've waited for when he would give me something new. I would hold it in my hands like I'd hold my first born. I never saw this coming. Never saw this coming.

Regardless of how he has treated me, his symbol still lies around my finger. I see his creations in my dreams.

I still love. Even though he has done this.

If he's reading this, I want him to know something - I'm still waiting for you. I still love what you have created. I still hold our memories so close to me. I will love you forever. My demon.

My View on "Prostitots"

Hello world! I have chosen to start my blogging experience with my view on what has been referred to as "Prositots." Simply put, Prostitots are humans under the age of consent (which our society has deemed as 18) who act like whores. The most popular Prostitot, and the current center of controversy is the Disney Princess: Miley Cyrus for pulling a Britney - no underwear while wearing a mini skirt and getting out of a car.

Miley is a celebrity. Miley is currently a minor. My neice in India adored her. She was the one who introduced me to her, and I thought it was adorable how she would go around the house screaming "YOU GET THE BEEEEEST OF BOTH WORLDS!" Seriously, love her to death. I don't think Miley does Hannah Montana anymore, and frankly, I don't want to know what she would do on a Disney show anymore.

If my Hollywood-knowhow is correct, Perez Hilton deemed Miley a Prostitot first and posted pictures of her crotch online. Comments on Perez Hilton's blog were filled with outrage suggesting Perez should be thrown in jail, he is sick, he is trafficking child pornography, etc.

Now to where I stand on this issue. Miley knows what she was doing. Show me a self-respecting girl who wears a short skirt out in public without underwear and climbs out of her car one leg at a time and doesn't expect people to point at her cooter. Show me a girl like that, and I'll show you an attention-whore denying herself. So Miley, if for some reason you're reading this blog post written by a nobody in Nova Scotia, stop whining you rich Disney Princess Whore.

On to what Perez did. Now, I assume other bloggers/paparazzi people have posted these pictures, but because I can I will focus on Perez. I have nothing but respect for Perez Hilton because he doesn't deny what he is. He is a gay dude who writes shit about celebrities and thrives on controversy. He welcomes controversy. He wants more controversy, and he is not afraid to say it. He is not taking back what he did, because he feels that was not only his right as a celebrity blogger, but also because he knows people like me will write about this and give him more fame. Plus, the Prostitot deserved it. Seriously Perez, I 100% respect this about you, no sarcasm.

So should Perez be jailed for these pictures? If not jailed, given whatever punishment those who are accused of child pornography are given?

Hell yes.

Regardless of who is in the wrong, the law is the law. Who's to say others convicted of trafficking child prostitution pictures did so by taking an up-skirt picture of some little girl getting out of a car with a short skirt and no underwear who was obviously asking for the attention? We can't assume that because Perez did this as a celebrity blogger and Miley welcomed the pictures (though she may deny any welcoming - seriously Miley, come on) others who have been accused and punished were not put under the same situation. However, if there is a clause for this situation, Perez fits it and I take back this paragraph. I didn't go to law school, sorry.

So in the end, power to Perez for being open about his personality and sticking to what he believes in. Miley is a Prostitot and definitely saw this coming. I think she's in the wrong. The law won't, and these laws have been created so we can function as a society. Just because a blogger in Nova Scotia thinks Miley's in the wrong, doesn't make Miley in the wrong.

If a tree falls in Nova Scotia, does Hollywood hear it?
