Some People Are Idiots!!! re: DADT

I was on Twitter (as usual) and I came upon a tweet between two people that had nothing to do with me that annoyed the hell out of me (another reminder that I need to stop clicking on things on twitter). No doubt the annoying tweet was from a republican and they were having a Twitter convo with a very liberal person. They were talking about DADT and the not so liberal was asking about bedding for the soldiers now that DADT has been repealed. Meaning where are the gay soldiers going to sleep now because apparently gay and straight people can't share bedrooms or whatever they call the sleeping quarters in the army.

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. In the army, men all sleep in the same area and women all sleep in the same area, correct? So why should that change now? Didn't these people share sleeping quarters BEFORE anyone knew if they were gay or straight? And it wasn't a problem then so why should it be now? This person on Twitter questioned whether men and women would now have to room together. Again, stupid. I don't see what's so wrong with a gay person and a straight person of the same sex sleeping in the same room. What the hell do you think is gonna happen?

I swear I can't take this ignorant nonsense.

What Do Atheists do for Christmas?

I was sitting in the tub today and I had a thought, what do atheists do for Christmas. They don't believe in God or Jesus right? So obviously the birth of Christ would mean nothing to them. Aside from enjoying the day off from work, what do they do? I'm really curious. Do they sit at home drinking egg nog and talking about how stupid we all or for believing in some made up holiday? Do they still exchange gifts but in the name of something else other than Christmas? Is there any kind of celebration? I really want to know but I'm too lazy to do my own research.

What do you think?

Stuff I Like: Christmas Songs

With Christmas just around the corner I thought I'd make a post about some of my favorite holiday songs. My favorite Christmas CD is Nsync's Home for Christmas. Maybe it's the 90's teenage fan girl in me but I just love that CD so much. I have to listen to it every year around this time. My favorite song in there is In Love on Christmas. Why? Because it's a great song, duh. Lol, but anyway I think it's a good album all around.

Another one of my favorite Christmas songs is All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey. I really don't even know the names of any other Christmas songs that she's done. I also like the song This Christmas that has been remade time and again but the original by Donny Hathaway is the best version I think. Anyway, here's a few videos for your enjoyment:










Happy Holidays!!!

"Digitally Dying" Celebrities

I'm sure by now most people have heard about this campaign/fundraiser that Alicia Keys is having for her Keep a Child Alive foundation. The idea is that celebrities will "digitally die" and stop using Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites until $1 million is raised for the foundation. The last time I checked they had only raised about $280,000 but it could be more by now. I believe the whole thing started on World AIDS Day which was December 1st and it's been nearly a week so you would think they would have raised more by now but I'm honestly not surprised they haven't. There are so many problems with this I don't know where to start:

• The first problem is that the entire premise is completely narcissistic. These people assumed that their fans were gonna be so broken up about not seeing their precious tweets that they would run out and donate buckets of money. WRONG! I'm a fan of a lot of the people involved in this (in case you're wondering, some of the celebs involved include Usher, Swizz Beats, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson, and Justin Timberlake). However, if all the celebrities I follow on twitter stopped tweeting right now I honestly can't say I would care too much. Sure it's interesting to follow your favorite celebrities but I could live without it.
• The other problem is that they started with a minimum amount to donate. Admittedly I haven't done very much research on the subject but it's my understanding that there was originally a $10 minimum donation requirement. Really?! I think that for a charity people should be encouraged to donate whatever they can, whether it be $1 or $100 because every little bit helps. If every single fan of the people I mentioned all donated $1 they would have far surpassed the million dollar goal by now. I've heard that they reduced the minimum donation to $1 so at least that's something but to be honest I don't think it will help much. 
• Furthermore, all the money that they put into taking those idiotic coffin pictures could have gone towards the cause they're trying to raise money for. I can't for the life of me understand why these obscenely rich people insist on soliciting donations from their fans who are living paycheck to paycheck if that! Instead of tweeting every hour how you're "dead" and need your fans to "buy your life back" how about donating some of those millions burning a whole in your pocket to the cause you claim to be so passionate about.

Pardon the long ass post but this entire thing just pisses me off. I don't know who told Alicia Keys this was a good idea but they lied.

Stuff I Like: Boots

I'm pretty much in love with all kinds of boots. Ankle, knee high or even thigh highs although I don't own any. I just love boots! The only exception is peep toe boots because they don't really make sense to me. Don't get me wrong, some of them are cute but I can't see myself ever actually owning a pair. To me having a peep toe kind of defeats the purpose of a boot.

Anyway, I'm only posting this because while Christmas shopping I found this pair of boots that I fell in love with at JC Penny so of course I had to get them. They were originally $90 but they were on sale for $44.99. There were actually two pairs that I liked and the other pair were only $29 but the only size they had left was 9 (I'm 7.5). Both pairs of boots are by Decree which I had never heard of before but I'll definitely be looking for more shoes from them.
 

These are the ones I wasn't able to get because of the size :(

These are the boots I bought but I got the tan ones pictured below :)

 

 

Sorry this picture is a kinda blurry. I couldn't get a good clear picture offline.
