The Problem with Adults

With the holiday season approaching- we are once again reminded of how stupid adults are.
Yes, mind you I am an adult, but when it comes to this subject, I am far from stupid.

Winchester, MA- A principal has canceled a field trip to see "Miracle on 34th Street" performed at a local theater. The reason, some parents complained. It's too focused on "Santa Clause", and they found it offensive.
Respectfully to those parents- go bite yourself. No wonder we have such hatred in this country. You're not teaching your kid tolerance, you're teaching ignorance. Yes, I am Catholic and celebrate Christmas. That doesn't mean for one second that I won't be teaching my daughter about the other celebrations that take place at the same time. She should know how other religions celebrate at this time. Not ignore the differences her friends may have.

These are the modern day Scrooges. These are the people that make it miserable for everyone else. What have you proved? That you can bully a class of 7th graders? Must make you feel big, stand tall and be proud. These are the parents that no longer hear the jingle of the bell from the Polar Express. These are the parents that don't believe in magic or miracles. These are the parents that want their kids to be little adults rather than kids.

In a day and age where love and tolerance should be at an abundance, it is hanging on by a thread. Why are you so angry at Christmas? Did you not get that puppy at age 9 that you wanted? That's no reason to take it out on the younger generation.

Attention the the school that my child will be attending in the future: If any of this goes on while she's in school, expect a call from my civil rights lawyer. Why should we be discriminated against because of the few unhappy souls out there?

Lighten up, let the kids be kids, they have long enough in their life to be miserable adults.

The blonde thing...

This not a racist post- it is not meant to be offensive, and if you take it that way, I'm just stating an opinion I'm entitled to.

For all you ladies (and men) who are obviously not blonde, please stop dying it that color. It's hard to take someone seriously when then talk of being proud of their race, and then they walk in with a screaming blonde head of hair. Really, do you think the world can't tell you weren't born with that color? Why can't you be proud of the fact that you have black hair or brown hair?
I just think it's ridiculous that you think you need to be something you aren't. Don't give me that free to express myself junk either. Coloring your hair in a color that would never represent your race is not expressing yourself, it's being something that you're not, it's saying, I'm not proud of who I am, I want to be someone else.
Be proud of who you are, where you come from, and the race you are, not the race you want to be.
Why do we care Part 2-

Why is the media so fixated on Christina and J-Lo being pregnant? More so why are they so fixated that the haven't "officially" announced it? Isn't that their choice? If they don't want to announce it to the world, that's their business. Sure you can tell that they are, so shouldn't that be good enough? Why do we have to be up in their business all the time? Pregnancy and having a baby is a personal thing, even when you are a celebrity. Shouldn't we just wish them well, hope they have a happy, healthy pregnancy and be done with it rather than hound them for every detail.
Maybe we should focus more on our own lives and less on theirs.

I can't stand the rain-

Don't you just hate days when it's pouring like cats and dogs? Then on top of then it's freaking cold? Those are usually the days that you have a hundred things to do. Life sucks sometimes.

And so it begins....

Officially today is Nov. 1st. Unofficially, it's the beginning of the Christmas season (jeez). It's like the cougar pouncing on the gazelle. I guess Thanksgiving is no longer a holiday at this point.
I really wish retailers would stop shoving Christmas down our throats in October, even before Halloween is over. Sign the groundhog saw his shadow, another 6 more weeks of Christmas.
Don't get me wrong I love Christmas, I would just like to celebrate it after we have Thanksgiving rather than before.
