Jack Kevorkian

A lot of speculation has been raised over the years as to whether or not the acts that Dr. Kevorkian devoted his life to were ethical or not.  If you know anything about the history of Michigan, you would know that Dr. Kevorkian went to jail for making what was called a "suicide machine" where he would assist his patience in killing themselves if they wanted to die.  This suicide machine was a machine that was filled with different fluids, which he would hook up to the IV of the hospitalized patient, and when these fluids entered the body it would kill the patient.  Dr. Kevorkian went to jail for these acts, mainly because sometimes the patient was not able to flip the switch on the machine so he would do it for them.
My argument is, if we can inject our ill pets with euthanasia, why cant people who are suffering do it to themselves or at least request it.  It is exactly the same thing.  In my opinion, Jack Kevorkian was an innocent man who should not have served prison time for helping helpless people.

Fat People

I find it absolutely sickening that America is becoming fatter and fatter over the years.  Yes, I understand that people have certain "medical conditions" that cause them to be OVERWEIGHT.  I say OVERWEIGHT, because there is a world of difference between this and OBESE.  I probably have such a strong opinion on this because i used to be large.  It stemmed from a long line of depression when i was in college, however, I recovered from it and lost a lot of weight.  It's not that hard.  The best is when people claim disability because they're fat, or think they need those special scooters.  Do they realize that they would lose a ton of weight if they just walked everywhere?!?!  It's called fucking laziness and it's disgusting.  The obese people in the world must be really happy the way they are seeing as there's multipul clinics to go seek help for this issue.  There's nothing more disgusting than watching an obese person roll down a grocery store isle on their scooter collecting cookies.  It seriously makes me want to throw stock of Little Debbie cakes in their basket and nasty dollar frozen pizzas.  Then, you go to like a fast food restaurant for a coffee and you see some fat ass over by the window cramming his face with five cheeseburgers and four happy meals.  Fucking ew.  Fat people of the world need to do something for themselves and stop declining the quality of American society. FYI, obese IS NOT a disability!  Disabilities are things that people can't help, such as scoliosis, or being a paraplegic.  There is NOTHING disabled about someone who ate their way to obesity.

Trade School Versus College

I feel that I have the right to make this post because I have both attended college as well as a "trade school". I attended a small college in Michigan for three years.  I've always been one of those people who hates deadlines as well as school work.  I like to pick my own time to do things, and I do a lot better under pressure.  As a result, I discontinued going to college and went to school to be a cosmetologist.  In a lot of cases, going to a "trade school" is looked down upon.  What a lot of people don't realize, is that you are earning college credit hours the whole time you are in a "trade school".  In one year of cosmetology classes, I earned 40 credit hours that can be transferred to any college.  I also get looked down upon for "just being a hairdresser".  I am not "just a hairdresser".  I am an artist.  People are my canvas.  I have learned chemistry, the science of electricity, how to balance pH levels, human anatomy.  There is a lot that goes in to being a cosmetologist.  You have to learn what chemicals react with each other to produce desirable or undesirable results.  If a client is taking medications, you must learn which astringents will react poorly with their skin.  I am not "just a hairdresser", I am a professional in skin, and nail diseases, a chemist, and an artist.  The same thing goes for mechanics.  They have to learn exactly how to fix things.  They are surgeons of mechanics.  You wouldn't go to just any person for brain surgery, just like you wouldn't go to just any person to fix your car or mechanical device.
What I can't stand, is the people who just sit around all day and have minimum wage jobs at a fast food restaurant or something else and say that "they have a hard time getting by".  Well, maybe you should have tried to improve yourself.

Shock Horror/"Snuff"/Gore Films

Just to start out, I have seen my share of horror films.  Mostly classics: Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Friday the 13th, ect, along with their remakes.  In this generation, I feel that films are being made now just for "shock value".  I have done a review on "The Human Centipede: First Sequence" directed by Tom Six.  While this is typically a "shock horror" film which I have seen a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it, it isn't necessarily gory.  There are one or two scenes that make you cringe, for example, the middle link of the centipede ripping an IV from her arm, but it's mostly the thought of the events in the movie happening to you personally which make you sick.  Tom Six's next film, "Human Centipede: Full Sequence" he made solely to outdo his first film.  Now, i haven't seen this film, but from reviews, it definitely fits the category of a "shock film".  I guess I just don't understand the point of "gross out films".  I always thought that horror films were for scare, to make you sit on the edge of you seat, not to make you vomit.  Yes, i did write a few paragraphs on "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" directed by Lucifer Valentine.  After reading the reviews this movie sounded so disgusting that i would never want to watch it.  Yes, it does give some insight to the director's life, but you really have to dig.  There is a lot of artistry behind the general theme of the movie, however, I don't understand who would want to watch someone vomit everywhere unless you are in fact an emetephile.  Many of Eli Roth films are "shock horror" with absolutely no point behind them, such as Hostile.  It's just my opinion, but I generally watch a horror film for the "edge of your seat" mystery and thrill behind it.  I really don't see a point in watching bloody almost real films, or "snuff" type films that are supposed to look like an actual murder on tape.  August Underground's series is a great example of a "snuff type film".
As I've stated, I have seen  the remakes of the classic horror films.  A Nightmare on Elm Street directed by Samuel Bayer was brilliant.  It gives you the insight to Freddie's revenge that you never would have known by watching the amazing version done by Wes Craven.  I think the new version gives a great twist onto what was left a mystery in the classic.  Friday the 13th directed by Marcus Nispel was in my opinion, horrible.  There was way too much nudity, which took away from the film.  I feel as though this should have stuck to the classic, where Jason's mother is the killer.  I must applaud Mr. Rob Zombie for his excellent remake of Halloween.  The beginning of the film gives you great insight to the past of young Michael Meyers, and also explains the mask in which he wears.
All of these films to show a "gore element", however it doesn't take away from the film.  It isn't overpowering at all.  I would also like to make a special standing ovation to Mr. Rob Zombie on his films "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects".  Both of these films were twisted but not overpowering with gore.  Rob Zombie has a way of mastering his films so that they are dark, leaving the gore in tact but not to the point where it's sickening.  I have heard excellent reviews about his 2012 film, "Lords of Salem" and am very excited about seeing it.  What also helps these films out is his great cast.  Sid Haig always has his comical moments, i love Bill Mosely, and his ever popular, as well as hot wife, Sherri Moon.

Posting Pictures With "Wow I'm So Ugly" Captions Online

So i've noticed through my memberships on a multitude of different social networking sites, that girls will post pictures of themselves with the caption "wow this is ugly" or "wow i look ugly" or something along the lines of that.  Are you fucking serious?  If you thought the picture was ugly, why would you post it?  Have a little self respect instead of trying to get attention with these pathetic captions.  All they really want is some desperate guy to come out and say "oh my god!!!  You look sooooooo pretty!!!  This isn't ugly!!!"  It's ridiculous.  Girls who post this should probably just go kill themselves cause no one fucking cares.

Posting Trashy Pictures Online

So, everyone has a certain reputation that takes a lifetime to build.  That can be torn down in two seconds.  Example A, posting naked pictures online, texting them to someone, ect.  The worst is when you're a 50 year old woman who is fat, and you're posting pictures of yourself in the smallest shirt you can squeeze into and you have your tits popping out all over the place.  Then, you go as far as trying to make an explaination for it and saying, "it's not trashy, I'm a BBW, and I am comfortable with my body."  You may be a "BBW" but wear that shit in the bedroom for your man, don't run around like a trashy whore posting pictures of your fat flabs.  Newsflash, not everyone is into huge women.  Not everyone wants to see that.  Do us all a favor and cover up.  and just so you're aware, you aren't posting that shit because you're "comfortable with your body".  You're posting it because you have a very low self esteem and want someone to tell you that you're hot.  The key to beauty is accentuating your good parts and taking away from your flaws.  When you post garbage like this, you're just drawing more attention to your flaws.  Would you really want your kids seeing something like this?  Gain a little respect for yourself.  A bigger woman who has self respect is a lot more attractive than some fatass running around online letting all her shit hang out.  Sick.

The World Against Christianity

Is it just me or is the world leaning more and more toward a Muslim lifestyle?  Back when our country was first established, we were "one nation under God".  When I was in elementary school, we said the pledge of allegiance with this exact line in it.  Now, it's not mandatory anymore.  What is this now?  "One nation under the law?"  When I was growing up, we always had a "Christmas break" and "school Christmas parties" and everyone would walk around saying "Merry Christmas".  What's up with all of this "Happy Holidays" bullshit.  You say "Merry Christmas" to someone and they look at you like its a crime.  There's not TV shows on about the Muslim religion, yet, if there were shows about the Christian religion, it'd be like a huge slap on the wrist.  OH MY GOD!!!  THAT CAN'T BE SHOWN ON TV!!!    Like it's sooooo bad.  Personally, I am open to all, even though I have a strong Lutheran Missouri Synod background, but still, it infuriates me that, everything that I was built on now seems like the "cursed religion".  Everything should be equal.  I think that maybe since the Arabs bombed us, this is just a way to make the ones who live in America feel a little bit better about what their people did.  Just a thought.

Use Of the "N" Word

So everyone who is somewhat intelligent knows that this word dates all the way back to when slavery was legal...long, LONG ago.  And, if you don't know which word I'm talking about, well, you shouldn't be reading this anyway.  The point is, it dates back to when slavery was legal.
Slave owners used to call their slaves "nigger".  Everyone knows this, and if you don't then you're just a fucking dumbass and you should know this.  Well, all this word means is "ignorant".
The funny thing to me is that someone who is black can walk around all day saying "nigger this, nigger that, yo nigger," and it's completely normal.  But, the second someone who isn't black pulls it out, all the "homies" "cock their 9's."  If you ask a black person what makes this acceptable, they will tell you that they are saying "nigga" which is different because of the a on the end, and that it's okay from one black person to another because they're doing it in a joking manner.  Well, what if a white person was joking?  It just doesn't make sense.  I thought everyone was equal.  At least, that's what my mama always taught me.
Personally, if I want to call someone ignorant, I will call someone ignorant, and i'll do it in what ever manner I damn well please.  I've met many white people who are ignorant.
This brings me to another point that I would love to bring up, while we're on the subject of equal rights.  Why don black people get all these special little groups, like the NAACP, which is basically the KKK of black people, with special benefits that are more often than not, monetary.  Is it because they're more likely to get AIDS or be Aenimic?  Or, maybe it's because most of the women don't know who their "baby daddy" is.  There's a very simple solution to these issues:
1.Get tested.-There are free clinics for this.  Make your partners get tested.  Duh.  You can't see AIDS on the outside.
2. Don't be a fuckin whore.-It's easy, just don't sleep with everyone and their brother.  It's just trashy and that's how you lose track of who is fathering your kid.
3. If you have to be a whore, use some kind of goddamn protection.
I wouldn't have gotten fucked out of scholarships for college if i were full black, because they hand them out to them like they've earned it, even if their grade point averages aren't up to par.  Ridiculous.
My last point is: if there was a group like the NAACP for white people, that would just be considered racist.  This is all coming from someone who is 1/4 black, and I think it's some goddamn bullshit.

Putting Personal Information on the Internet

Honestly, when you log on to facebook or myyearbook, people want to see something interesting, such as, you're shopping with your best friend and bought the cutest purse.  People don't want to hear about the fact that you're pregnant and that you're getting an abortion.  People don't want to hear about who you sent to jail the night before, or how bad your boyfriend beat you up last weekend.  That is the reason that diaries are made.  What your friends want to read about are inside jokes that were made up that day.  They don't want to hear all the inky details about the fight that you and your mom just got into and what a bitch she is.  It's SOCIAL NETWORKING.  It's used to catch up with people and share small pieces of your day.  To ask a friend how they are if they're sick.  To let people know if you're not going to be in class or at work.
Let me make this point.  In the "face to face world" you wouldn't go up to someone and say "hey I'm Samantha, I'm currently pregnant and have to get an abortion.  It sucks."  Seriously?  Keep personal things personal.
Furthermore, if you do in fact decide to post personal bullshit on a social networking site, don't be surprised when people make "what the fuck" comments on it.  When they do, you should probably learn from your mistakes instead of going off on that person who made the comment by calling them a bitch.  In return, they're just going to call you trashy, and there's nothing you can say against that because you know it's true.
Let me put it to you this way.  I come home from a long tiring day in class.  I have homework to do.  Before I do my homework, I like to check facebook and see what all of my friends are up to.  Drop one of my classmates a line if they weren't in class to tell them what they missed.  Maybe say hi to a few family members.  i don't want my newsfeed blowing up with drama like "oh my god my boyfriend just kicked in my car window and the police came and he got arrested and he tried to rape me oh my god oh my god."  that's just called someone trying to get others to feel bad for them, and guess what people, it's fucking pathetic.

Trying Too Hard

Everyone knows that one person who just tries to hard to fit in to a certain group of people.  In doing so, it just makes them look like a complete fucking idiot.  I knew this guy, summer before I started beauty school.  He tried to be really good friends with my brother.  We'll call him Jeremy*.  Jeremy would parade around calling himself "Homeless Jeremy".  The funny thing was, he wasn't really homeless.  He just chose not to go back to his mom's house.  In his defense, everyone did tell me that his mom's house smelled like fermented cat piss, but anyways, he really did have a home.  But, he put on this front like "OMG I'M SO HOMELESS AND I'M THE SHIT."  No....just no.  being homeless doesn't make you anything, because homelessness isn't funny.  Maybe he should go ask the people that are in shelters.
My brother and all of his friends are really hardcore brutal and completely obsessed with heavy metal music.  So there's parts in the song that just kind of sound like they're saying "breeee", I personally think it sounds like a gale force wind.  Anyway, they would all make these "bree noises" that were a bit like an "oirrrrrrr" but with a lot more pizazz.  Basically they just sounded like dying pigs.  ANYWAY, so they would sit around and communicate with these noises.  Jeremy would literally sit there and scream "breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and it was really obnoxious.  So one day, I called him out on it, and he got REALLY pissed.  It is my firm belief, that if someone is acting like a total fuckass (<---Donnie Darko reference :D) you should probably tell them, just so that they know, so they can cut out the fuckassness and better themselves.  Instead of getting all pissed off in this situation, what he should have said was "why thank you, I'll work on it so I don't annoy the living shit out of everyone."
Okay, story number two, I used to go to school with this girl, and she just tried waaaay to hard to have conversations with people.  And like all this girl would ever talk about was concerts concerts concerts.  Like seriously, no one cares.  Then, if she wasn't talking about concerts, she would just talk to hear herself talk.  It was like a constant tornado of blahblahblah, EVERY fucking day.
Please, don't be that person

Welfare

First of all, I would just like to point out that I am very sensitive to the less fortunate people that populate the Earth.  I spent a lot of time as a child giving back to my community doing things like volunteering in the soup kitchens, or purchasing gifts for toys for tots, raising money for less fortunate families around my community, so yes, realize before reading any further, that i do have a heart and I am sensitive to less fortunate people, so don't come back and attack me saying that I'm a heartless bitch.
What really pisses me off when I go to work is the fact that, part of my paycheck is deducted to go towards "welfare".  I do realize that sometimes people are out of a job or have a low paying job and need assistance from the government to support their family.  I realize that children are expensive and sometimes it's necessary to obtain food stamps so that your family can eat, but what I can't fucking stand is when you have some lazy ass mother fucker who won't get up and find a job and feels the need to sit on the couch all day and collect welfare. Bitch I don't wanna support your lazy ass.  There's a little thing called getting a loan and going to college, and if you can't get a loan yourself, then ask someone with good credit to help you by cosigning.  There ARE ways to be dismissed from a cosign, believe it or not.
A prime example:
My ex boyfriend.  He moves out of his mom's house to go live with his ex step father.  (That's a whole different story).  First of all, you have to know that when applying for food stamps, you are supposed to base on the income of the whole house hold.  So it was my ex, and his ex stepfather living in this house.  His ex stepfather worked for a company where he was making six figures.  What my ex did was he based his food stamps off of his mother's house hold which had virtually no income, so he basically cheated the system because he didn't want to get a job.  That's the bullshit that I can't stand.  Then, when he did finally get a job, he said he had just taken it to basically fuck over his co worker and would most likely get fired in the end.  What a winner, right?  It makes me wonder why I even dated him in the first place.
The point is, I don't work my ass off to support others.  If you're out there sitting on your ass depending on the government to help you, you should probably go fuck yourself.  Get off the fucking couch and look for a job....any job.  There is no reason that money should come out of my hard earned paycheck to support someone who just wants to be lazy.

Ebonics/Abbreviations

An actual language?  Really?  What do you think of when someone says the word "ebonics"?  Personally, I think of a trashy ghetto man walking around holding his crotch speaking improper English saying "axt" instead of "asked", yet somehow, people are rebelling and trying to make this a proper language.  "Dat" is NOT a proper form of "that".  You just sound fucking stupid.  
According to Urban Dictionary:

Ebonics is really the study of the rules applied to turn English into some uneducated sounding pseudo-language whose purpose is for the most part to insult and denigrate "Whitey." Here is what I learned in Ebonics 1 :
i) In any English word with a contraction, eliminate the apostrophe and any letters after it.
1) Is it alright if I rollerskate through the campus ?
English) Yes, it's alright
Ebonics) It OK
ii) In a word ending in "d," substitute "dt" or "oodt."
English) That's all very fine...
Ebonics) That all reeeal gooudt....
iii) In a word ending in "ore," eliminate everything after the first "o" and add an apostrophe.
English) I won't tell you again, please shut the door.
Ebonics) I ain tellin you no mo', shet de do' !!
iv) For suffixes with 2 identical consonants followed by "er," eliminate the "er."
English) That Negro was larger and was holding a pistol.
Ebonics) Mah nigga was bigga had his fingah on yo' trigga.
v) In general, most "er"s are dropped and replaced by "ah."
English) Tower of Power
Ebonics) Towah of Powah
vi) However, in the case of a plural, "ers" is replaced by "az."
English) Negroes
Ebonics) niggaz
Now, a brief poem :
They go my niggaz all up in da hooudt,
Niggaz be pimpin' just like dey shooudt,
Leroy drive his Caddy right into a dee-itch
'Cause his punk-ass homey is too much of a bee-itch
Sistah on the pipe she hit on da stem
Homeboy got his ass in jail ageein'
Got me a supakool layin' in da free-idge
Niggaz be flyin' high off'n da bree-idge
Sambo fucked up, he high on dat sherm
Bustin up a cap hey cuz got de germ 

Is it really that hard to speak proper English?  If you walk around abbreviating everything, no one is ever going to take you seriously.  Like I said, it just makes you look stupid, and just adds to the "stupid Americans" stereotype.  Yes I understand that there is a time to be professional and a time to be casual, but being casual doesn't mean that you should walk around saying "wit" instead of "with".  Being casual means that you can be with your friends and call them "shitheads" or "fucktards".  You wouldn't go up to your boss and call him a "twat-waffle".  Another thing is this whole abbreviation thing.  I get emails from people saying things like:
"wud u lyke 2 hang out l8r?"
That shit seriously pisses me off.  Does it really take that much time to spell things correctly?  I can understand an occasional "u" instead of "you" or a "2" instead of "to" but seriously those are two and three letter words.  how goddamn hard is it for you to find the letters on your keyboard?  And, "lyke"?  All that is, is replacing a fucking "i" with a "y".  You wouldn't type like this if you were typing a memo for a very large popular company would you?  NO!  So what the hell makes you think that I wan't to receive a message like that?

Giving Someone Your Life Story

There are a few things you just don't do right after meeting someone.  One of those things is telling them your life story.  This is one of the things that just pushes people away.  Right after you meet someone, you don't want to know about every person they've ever dated or every problem they've ever had.
When I was a sophomore in college, I was plagued with having a roommate for the first semester.  As soon as she found out that I was going to be her roommate, she started e-mailing and texting me all day, every day.  I hadn't even met her yet!  She had just looked on the school's website and seen that her and I would be sharing a room together.  She would send me messages while I was at work and then get mad at me when i didn't send her a message back right away.  Within the first week of her talking to me, she had told me literally everything about her.  Within the first two days, she had told me all about how her littler brother had come out of the closet to her father by sitting in the basement with a gun to his head.  Seriously?  That sounded a little dramatic and quite frankly, I didn't really care.
The weekend after meeting her, i was sitting at home with my boyfriend and she called me crying because her boyfriend told her that he was gay.  She later found out that he was lying to her to get her away from him.  Maybe that should have been a hint to her to just fuck off.  Not to mention, this girl was just a psycho whore. and by psycho whore, I mean she was mentally crazy, and she was a fucking slut.
The first two weeks we were at college, she had slept with right around seven guys.  She looked for guys online ALL the time so that she would go on dates.  I actually felt sorry for her because she was acting so desperate.  Maybe her problem was that she looked like a straight up boy.  But, that's probably why her current boyfriend had an attraction to her.  We all think he was a world class homo.
He wasn't any less psychotic than she was.  He had her move in with him, and then had his friends hold her at gunpoint and threaten to rape her.  They then ended up robbing them of all of their electronics and leaving.  The two of them made the newspaper the next day.  He would write me notes and leave them in my room telling me how crazy I was, so I had to take it to the police.  One night, I came back from dinner and he was going through my closet.  I felt extremely violated, so I had to make it so that he wasn't allowed back into our room.  My roommate kept saying that I kept locking her out of our room, but the thing was, she lived with her boyfriend, I didn't know when she was coming back, and i wasn't just going to leave the room unlocked so just anyone could walk in.
We had to have a mediation in December, right before we broke for Winter break.  I ended up writing a letter to the housing department, and she had to move out before everyone left.  She decided she was going to bring her boyfriend to our room to help her move out, and i'll admit, I went apeshit, because he wasn't supposed to be there.
The next semester I came back and had my own room, but my old roommate decided to seek confidence in some of my friends that she had met.  I remember one day, she was in the lobby of our building crying, with her phone ringing every five seconds.  It was her boyfriend calling to tell her that she was fat and that she had a huge pussy and how ugly she was and all this other bullshit.  I guessed I couldn't just leave her crying there, so I went to talk to her along with one of my other friends.  We all had an intervention with the police, seeing as her boyfriend had been kicked off campus earlier that day for trying to run her over with a car.  He was also in the process of being evicted from his apartment and being investigated by the police for stealing thousands of dollars from his grandfather.  What a winner right.

Anyway, the point of this story is, you don't fucking tell people your life story right after meeting them.  All it does is push them away and make them not want to talk to you.

Body Modification

On thing I have been very passionate about ever since I was a child is self expression.  I have always been very blunt and I express myself openly, whether it's in words, art, or body language e.c.t.  I believe that everyone should have the right to express themselves in any way they choose.  This goes back to my post about Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, and The Human Centipede.  Although some people find these films to be extremely offensive and grotesque, but this is just two director's way of expressing themselves to the world.
Another way of self expression in presented in everyday life.  This is the self expression known as "Body Modification".  When someone thinks of "body modification", they think of people pushing it to the extremes, and this just isn't the case.  Body modification could be something as small as dying your hair or painting your nails, two things that women do on a day to day basis.
Body modification is defined as: any modification done to the body.
I grew up in a home on traditional Lutheran: Missouri Synod values.  My parents were very in to their beliefs and often times pushed them on me.  I was always told that you aren't supposed to change your body because it is "displeasing to God".  Yet, I watched as my mom and I would get our hair and nails done every other week.  She let me get my ears pierced when I was six.  This all falls in the category of body modification.
I used to watch shows such as "Miami Ink" watching people get tattoos, and I think that may be where my obsession began.  My mom went with me to get my first tattoo when I was seventeen.  Her and my father didn't want me to get anymore ink done, but once you're under the needle once, it kind of becomes an addiction, and I find it pretty hard to stop.  This is my way of self expression.  I'd try my best to hide it from my parents but they'd always find out and be "disappointed".  They just don't see it they way i do.  Since I was fifteen, I've had twelve piercings and thirteen tattoos.
One question that plagues mankind is "Why do people modify themselves?"  I actually did a project on this my sophomore year in college.  I learned that people do this for one of four reasons:
1. Aesthetic Value
2. Sexual Enhancement
3. Religious Aspect
4. Shock Value
I am an example of modifying myself for aesthetic value.  My piercings, which include:
1, 2 Industrial- two piercings that run from the helix of the ear to the cartilage
3,4,5, 6. Four standard lobe piercings
7, 8. Two cartilage piercings
9. Nose piercing
10. Monroe- which is a lip piercing which is supposed to simulate the mole that Marilyn Monroe had
11.Tongue Piercing
12. Belly button piercing
I find that having these make me more aesthetically pleasing to myself.  I do fully intend on getting the dimples on my cheeks done, basically because I think they're cute and I have a round face, so I can pull them off.  I did have a microdermal piercing in my hip, which recently rejected and I had to remove, so I intend on getting this put back in, most likely in my wrist.
For those of you who don't know what a mircrodermal piercing is, it's a piercing that can go basically anywhere.  There is a small footing that is inserted under the skin, and normally a gem which protrudes out of the skin.  the head on this piercing screws in and out and can be changed after the piercing is healed.  It's much easier to Google the piercing to get a better feel for what they are.
The insertion process for these is a little more complicated than that of a piercing.  Instead of just inserting a needle and jewelry straight through the skin, either a dermal punch (which is like a very tiny cookie cutter) or a 12 gauge needle is used to core out a small section of skin, and then the jewelry is inserted under the skin.  They do have YouTube videos depicting this process if you have any interest in watching.
My tattoos all have a meaning to them.  My first as i said, I got done when I was seventeen years old.  It is a memorial for my grandfather who was a WWII veteran.  My second on got on my eighteenth birthday, and it says "I Alone" it stands for my independence.  The third is the Kanji symbol for daughter.  Fourth I got after going through three months of abuse and trying to recover.  It says "I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love today" and there is a yellow ribbon next to it symbolizing new beginnings.  Fifth is a honey bee which I got because my name means honey bee.  Sixth is a logo for my favorite band, Mindless Self Indulgence.  Seventh is a ring tattoo of the claddaugh.  Eighth is a line of Hibiscus down my ribs with the saying "who I am is quite enough.  Ninth, a black light tattoo for my father of the Fire department logo with his badge number in it.  Tenth another black light tattoo that says "fuckin classy", basically because that's what I stand for, class.  Eleventh, a Gaelic saying I got on my back for my family with shamrocks.  Since I was adopted I found the perfect quote that says "it is not in flesh and blood, but in the heart that we are fathers and sons."  Twelfth is a brutal cupcake that my artist drew right on me freehand in the studio.  I've always had an obsession with cupcakes but I'm not real girly so I figured a brutal cupcake would just scream "Melissa-J."  Lastly was a saying that an old friend of mine and I decided to get in each other's writing saying "you are perfect".  After him and I stopped talking I covered it up with brass knuckles, blood splatter and the saying "Beauty Killer underneath it.
People who get modified for sexual enhancement are mostly the people who get modifications done to their genetials, such as shown in the documentaries "Modify" and "Flesh & Blood."  even my tongue piercing could be looked as at a modification for sexual enhancement.
In some religions such as Hinduism, modification is required.  There are also some tribes that modify the body for different ceremonies and such.  Some ceremonies of body modification are performed to show a boy transitioning to a man or a girl transitioning to a woman.  Many of these ceremonies have been shown on the television show "Taboo" on the "National Geographic Channel".  Dennis Avner is a great example of someone being modified for their religion.  His story is told in both "Modify" and "Flesh & Blood.
Then, there are people who are modified for shock value.  These are the people who participate in flesh suspensions, or who modify themselves just to make people look.  The Lizard Man, or Eric Sprague is a good example of this.  Many of the people on the internet who have been modified to the extreme are also great examples of this.
In conclusion, body modification is something that really inspires me.  To me it's a very beautiful form of self expression.

I'd love to hear your opinions and comments

The Lottery

Every Tuesday night, my parents and I used to go out for dinner to a local family bar and grill.  My dad would always buy a mega millions lottery ticket and while we were at dinner, my parents would always converse about what they would do with the money if they won.  It always ended with me giving them a reality check and telling him that they were never going to win.  My dad would always say, "but we could...".
I dated a boy while I was in college.  His parents both had jobs, but still didn't make as much money as the average family.  He told me that every week his father would drop about 30-40 dollars buying all sorts of lottery tickets and such.  But, they never won.  This is just a concept that I never understood.
The only lottery I ever participated in was when my dad bought me those one dollar tickets, only because i liked to scratch off the different sections to see what was underneath the silver paint.  Normally you only win MAYBE five bucks per ticket.  I actually watched my cousin win about ten dollars off of one when we were ten years old.
I guess I just never understood why people would pay so much money for lottery tickets when they know they aren't going to win.  That's money that you could be using on groceries or taking your family for a night out.
I'd love to have different opinions of people, those who play/buy lottery tickets and those who don't, because my personal opinion is that, it's just plain stupid and a waste of money.

Slaughtered Vomit Dolls

"Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" is a film by a Director named Lucifer Valentine.  This is a stage name seeing as Mr. Valentine is very private about his true identity.  He is the director of the "Vomit Gore Trilogy" which includes "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls", "ReGOREgitation Sacrifice", and "Slow Torture Puke Chamber.
The Trilogy follows a girl named Angela Aberdeen (Ameara LaVey), as she becomes a runaway stripper who turns into a prostitute.  In the movie, she sells her soul to the devil and spirals down on hellish, satanic hallucinations. Each movie picks up where the last one left off. Throughout this trilogy, there is a pattern of "vomit-fucking" and then gruesome dismemberment.  It's not really a horror movie as much as it is a "torture porn".
Why the fuck would someone make a movie such as this?  I asked myself the same question upon reading the synopsis on IMDB.  So, being the curious person that I am, I wanted to investigate the reasoning behind the making of these movies.  The best source I found, was an interview conducted by Pamela Torres of Punk Globe.
First and foremost, we learn from the interview that Mr. Valentine was born and raised as a "Satanist".  I do not applaud this choice of religion, however it is fact, and it also explains where Mr. Valentine pulled his stage name from.  Next, we have to dig in and find out where the inspiration for this movie came from.  According to Mr. Valentine, this movie was basically a "real life" film.  He had met Miss LaVey at a few parties and she was drawn to him.   LaVey herself was currently a bulimic, working as a hardcore pornstar.  Valentine describes her as being a drug addict weighing barely ninety two pounds who was barely alive.  Valentine was not really interested in her to begin with but finally gave in and went out with her.  One night, Miss. LaVey was kicked out of her home with only a change of clothes and a carton of milk.  She showed up at Mr. Valentine's door and he agreed to let her live there and take care of her as long as she would allow him to film her whenever he wanted, and do whatever he asked of her.  He was filming her detox around the clock, and therefore "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" was born.
In one scene, Angela drowns herself in a bathtub after an overdose.  This is relevant, because, Mr. Valentine had an obsession with Nirvana singer, Kurt Cobain.  In the movie, Angela drowns herself on the same date that Kurt Cobain committed suicide.  This is also relevant seeing as, many people say that Mr. Valentine had an incest relationship with his little sister, Cinderella.  He answered that she was his girlfriend and they probably would have gotten married if she hadn't committed suicide on New Year's Eve, 2006.  Cinderella drowned herself in the bathtub after an overdose, the same way Angela does in the movie.  Mr. Valentine says that she had simulated this many times because she was jealous of his relationship with Miss. LaVey and he even filmed it.  He never thought that she would actually do it.  Footage of Cinderella's simulation of this suicide is shown in "ReGOREgitated Sacrifice".
Mr. Valentine is an Emetaphiliac which means that he is sexually aroused by vomiting.  He is also into incest, necrophilia, and bestiality, and says that he wants to make movies that fall into these categories.  I personally don't agree with most of the things that Mr. Valentine stands for, however, i do believe that his movies could send a message to the general public about drug use.

Juggalos

Almost everyone in my generation has heard of the "Juggalo Family" and know what it is.  For the people who don't, it's basically a group of individuals who are lazy, sometimes overly obese, and sit on the couch all day eating chips, drinking Faygo (only because it's cheap) and listening to I.C.P. or Insane Clown Posse.  Sometimes they call themselves the "Hatchet Warriors".
The men call themselves "Juggalos" while the women call themselves "Juggalettes".  They believe that they are a group of people who are a "family" and will help each other out if a "fellow Juggalo" is in need.  I personally believe that this concept is extremely stupid and far-fetched.  I basically believe this because, this specific group of people most likely doesn't even know that they are supporting the criminals involved in the "Hatchet Murders".
The Hatchet Murders were basically a group of people who went around killing individuals with hatchets, obviously.  Innocent people lost their lives, and families were in mourning over these deaths, yet some stupid ignorant teenagers think that it's cool to follow some musical groups who support such a thing.
The music is probably even worse than the concept that they support.  At concerts, which are mostly played with other "bands" which is in quotations, because they really aren't bands, just the same members under different names that all play at festivals called "Gathering of the Juggalos", and the "band" members indulge in spraying the audience with bottles of cheap Faygo and like to paint their faces ridiculously, trying to look like clowns, and come up with stupid fucking expressions such as "are you down with the clownz."  Fucking kill me.  They're lyrics are so deep too.  From the song "Miracles" by I.C.P.  "I've seen shit that'll shock you're eye lids, the sun and the moon and even mars, the milky way and fuckin shooting stars" from the same song, "I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco Bay.  It tried to eat my cellphone (he ran away)."  and yet again, "Water, fire, air, and dirt.  Fucking magnets, how do they work?"
Okay seriously, things don't "shock your eyelids".  I'm pretty sure you see things with your EYES.  If it's shocking your "eyelids" that means your eyes are closed.  Is it just me or is the language pretty unnecessary in basically all of these lyrics.  I'm pretty sure a pelican wouldn't try to eat your cellphone, and where did he get the fish anyway.  Oh, and if you want to know how magnets work, maybe you should go back to the first grade when the concept of north poles attracting to south poles was taught, and that they attract, and that when you have two different poles that are alike..they repel.  Juuuust a thought.
I've always been for the "keep illegal immigrants, deport the Juggalos movement".  This is because, the illegal immigrants are taking all of the jobs that could go to the Juggalos, but no, they're too busy drinking their cheap ass Faygo, sitting on their mother's couch eating chips and listening to their shitty music, which includes:
I.C.P., Anybody Killa, Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Boondox, The Dayton Family, Dark Lotus, Psychopathic Rydas, Tech N9ne, Axe Murder Boyz, Kid Crusher, Vanilla Ice, Scum, Boo Clan, Brotha Lynch Hung, Killa C, Liquid Assassin, Mars, Kung Fu Vampire, Kottonmouth Kings, Esham.  There's probably more, so feel free to comment and add!

The Human Centipede...Disgusting Gross-out Movie or Pure Artistry?

For those of you who don't know, or have heard about this movie but have never seen it, "The Human Centipede" is a movie directed by Tom Six.  This movie is 100% medically accurate.  Over the past year, it has been pinned as "one of the sickest movies of all time."  Tom Six has stated that he has "even gotten death threats on facebook about it."  For those of you who don't know what this movie is about, here is the synopsis thanks to IMDB:
Two pretty but ditsy American girls are on a road trip through Europe. In Germany, they end up alone at night with a broken car in the woods. They search for help and find an isolated villa. The next day, they awaken to find themselves trapped in a terrifying makeshift basement hospital along with a Japanese man. An older German man identifies himself as a retired surgeon specialized in separating Siamese twins. However, his three "patients" are not about to be separated but joined together in a horrific operation. He plans to be the first person to connect people via their gastric systems. By doing so, he plans to bring to life his sick lifetime fantasy, the human centipede.


You can see by reading the description why people would call this "one of the sickest movies of all time." but the fact is, none of the parts involving corprophilia are shown on screen.  Everything is in your head.  You know what's happening and you're imagining it as it was you that was being connected ass to mouth with three other people.  The operation isn't even shown on camera, nor are the people's mouths connected to the other person's ass. In my opinion its pure artistry.  The fact that someone can make a movie, and most of the disturbing parts aren't even onscreen, yet it can still be pinned as disgusting and be banned in a number of countries is amazing to me.  The best part of the whole this is the mere fact that it is 100% medically accurate.


Now, Tom Six is releasing a sequel to "The Human Centipede", and my opinion is that he's doing it just to show the world that he can make something even more disgusting.  the first film is supposed to be like "My Little Pony compared to the first film."  To give you an idea of what this film will be about:
Martin is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his mother in a bleak housing project. He works the night shift as a security guard in an equally grim and foreboding underground parking complex. To escape his dreary existence, Martin loses himself in the fantasy world of the cult horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence), fetishizing the meticulous surgical skills of the gifted Dr. Heiter, whose knowledge of the human gastrointestinal system inspires Martin to attempt the unthinkable. 


This film is all shot in black and white, which, in my opinion may add to the artistry behind the movie, giving it a more dreary like effect.  The only thing I'm not looking forward to in this film is the fact that Ashlynn Yennie is a part of the Pede.  This makes no sense to me, seeing as she was casted in the first film, but we'll see how Mr. Six pulls it off!  Very excited.

What the F*ck is Common Sense?

I always told my father, "I hate people that have no common sense.  It's annoying!"  But one night, while my family was out to dinner, he posed a question.  He said,
"Well, what really is common sense?"
So I thought about it for a minute, and I realized that i could not produce a definition for "common sense", so I replied with, "well i guess it's like a 'look before you cross the street' kinda thing.  If you don't look before you cross the street, you may get run over."
My dad said to me, "yeah, but a two year old doesn't know this."
So then came the question, "where does common sense come from?"
My answer was, "um, your parents.  If you have a parent that's a total dipshit, then most likely, that's how your kid is gonna be."
So now we get down to the root of it all.  What the fuck is common sense?
Common sense, as described by Merriam-Webster, is defined as beliefs or propositions that most people consider prudent and of sound judgement, without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people "in common". Thus "common sense" (in this view) equates to the knowledge and experience which most people already have, or which the person using the term believes that they do or should have.
So, basically this means that common sense is the shit that you should just know and not have to think about.  We can also refer to some more humorous definitions as defined by urbandictionary.com. 
As defined by user "Metropolitan Gray":

Common Sense:
1) Something the general populous of Earth lacks.
2) The ability to discern what is right and what is wrong.
3) The ability to discern what is intelligent and what is stupid.
The blaming of obesity on fast-food restaurants and not on people who should know that fatty food makes you fat.

Basically common sense is knowledge that you think others should know, and if they don't then you perceive them as being stupid.

Now we come to our next question: who has common sense? My belief is that everyone has some common sense to a certain extent.  Some people may be dumber than others, but each person has at least the tiniest bit of common sense.  For example, everyone know what's right and whats wrong.  Some people just choose to do what is wrong, leading the general public to believe that they lack common sense.

Now, we come to our third and final question, "where does common sense come from?"  My opinion is, exactly like i said earlier.  It is a parent's job to instill knowledge into their child's brain.  Part of that is by giving you child common sense.  In other words, if someone is a total idiot, most likely, their kid is going to be too.  Children learn by doing, and also by what they see others doing, and since the parents (or whom ever is raising the child) are the biggest influence on most children, I can come to the conclusion that the parent is the most direct reason for a child/person's lack of common sense.  But you can't put ALL the blame on the parents.  Children have babysitters, teachers, they are also influenced by other children.  I just put most of the blame on the child's parents/guardians because they have the most direct contact with the child.
