Why doesn't anyone pay me to take naps
WTF

Why doesn't anyone pay me to sleep? Guess some of us are just luckier than others.

Racist overtones of Heroes on NBC
My Humor

So I was talking to Oz about the show "Heroes" on NBC and the more we analyze the show the more racist subtext we find.

A. For a show that celebrates diversity and being different, why are only the minorities dying? Let's look at the death list.

1. Simone Duveaux (black) - Peter and the painter's love triangle woman
2. Charles Duveaux (black) - The older man Peter cared for AKA Simone's Dad
3. Isaac Mendez (hispanic) - The guy who paints the future
4. Kaito Nakamura (Japanese) - Hiro's Father
5. D.L.Hawkings (black) - Micah's father and personality disorder girl's baby daddy.
6. Maya took out a whole flock of Dominicans during the wedding celebration

Micah is half black and half white. So his half-whiteness shields him from death. But you know his cousin in New Orleans is a death waiting to happen.

B. Let's look at who could have died, but somehow didn't.

1. Peter's Mom at the police station is attacked but saved at the nick of time.
2. Nathan Petrelli - exposed to radiation but survives
3. Peter Petrelli - becomes a human bomb but survives
4. Matt Parkman's dad is put into a vegetative state but not dead
5. Claire Bennet was on an autopsy table!! That didn't stop her though. She's white.
6. Adam - can't be killed. Not by time. Not by anything.
7. Sylar - crawled into a sewer and magically came out in South America

Oh, look at who's IMMORTAL. They have such pretty white skin: Peter, Claire, and the new character in season 2, Adam. White skin keeps death at bay.

C. Speaking about illegal immigration, Maya and her brother are trying to sneak into the US. And guess what they're bringing with them....the black plague!!!!!!! Protect the borders!!!!

Think about it. I'm just saying.


Giuliani and the Affordable Dinner
Informational

Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of New York City.
 
He cleaned up Times Square and generally improved the quality of life while in office.
 
He was also the mayor of the city during the attacks of September 11, 2001. He led the city through its tough time. He is generally revered as a hero because of his leadership through the tough times.
 
Ummm. He was doing his job as mayor. He did nothing heroic. He did what New Yorkers elected him to do.
 
A hero is a police officer who ran into the burning building to rescue random people.
 
Rudy in the meantime, has taken this 9/11 hero mantle and ran with it. Personally, I think his whole campaign for the presidency is based on his 9/11 hero status with all the citizens of red states.
 
For those of you who don’t think so, I give you this juicy morsel. Rudy Giuliani usually charges several hundred dollars a plate at his campaign fundraising dinners. What a weird coincidence that on Wednesday night in California, there was dear Rudy at $9.11 a plate fundraiser!!
 
Sweet! Ride that car til the wheels fall off!


Visiting the World Trade Center
My One Cent

So the president of Iran wants to come to New York City and lay a wreath at the world trade center. He also gives a speech at an Ivy League school in which he gets bashed afterward by many in attendance.

 

This is such a hypocritical thing by the American public.

 

America is based on the freedom of an individual. Why can’t Mahmoud Ahmadinejad go lay a wreath at the World Trade Center? He may feel bad for all those people that died. Last time I checked Al Qaeda, wasn’t a nationalist organization.  And if it was, it would be Saudi due to the fact that most of its members originating are of Saudi origin.  In fact most of the attackers on 9/11 were Saudi nationals. Would this kind of uproar be happening if the king of Saudi Arabia were to visit?

 

There were candlelight vigils in Iran on 9/11.  Most Iranians believe that Al Qaeda is incapable of performing such a feat. I know Ahmadinejad is a hate spewing guy but we have people in America holding KKK rallies. Why can’t Ahmadinejad give his opinion on Israel or the Holocaust?  It’s his opinion and in America, everyone has the right to give his opinion.

 

This is not a pro Iran thing. It’s a pro free speech and lets not be a hypocrite when the world is watching thing.



Transformers continues Hollywood's racist plot devices
My Humor

There are some movies that you go into knowing that people are going to die. And in the past, there was one consistent sign that let you know if a character would survive till the end of the movie: the color of their skin. If they were black, you knew they were not going to make it to the end of the movie.

This is especially true for those “dumb white people run from the killer” type movies. If there was one black person in the “dumb white people” group, you knew he/she was going to die.  

And while I have seen this improve over time (LL Cool J in “Deep Blue Sea”, I’m looking at you), this ugly plot device is being applied to not only black people but black…autobots.

I saw “Transformers” recently. And I don’t want to ruin it for you, but, out of all the robots in the movie, only one dies. And out of all the robots in the movie, there is only one robot that is “black”. I’ll let you put two and two together.

Come on Hollywood! Let’s move forward on this issue. Not backwards.

pEace.

PS. By "black" Im not referring to the color of the car. They gave him a "hiphop b-boy breakdancer" personality. My assumption is that he's black. Or a wigger. Safe to assume black though.


Why I believe in my God
My One Cent

I know I haven't been writing much. But when working on the things that will hopefully support me for the rest of my life and make me rich in the process, well, you can see how blogging, unfortunately, has to take a back seat.

However, I've been having a nice "chat" in the comments of my "Why does evil exist? Why evil exists." post with a gentleman named Chris.

And yeah, once I update the blog, I'll have a feature to let you know the latest comments so you can join in if you wish.

Anyway, during my conversation with Chris I went off on a tangent and described, essentially, why I believe in my God. It deserves its own post. So here:

Kids: "Hey ant, I know you don't believe in religion. But what makes you believe in God"

Ant:  "For me, it’s all about the spirit. Our bodies, the universe, all the stuff around us: they are subject to the laws of the physical world. “Conservation of Energy” and all that jazz.

But, for me, I see the work of god in imbuing this bag of water and flesh (the human body) with a spirit. There is nothing physically special about the human body. Without the spirit, couldn’t we just be another type of monkey?

And that for me is the work of my God. Out of all the matter in the universe, the atoms that compose the human body are the only ones, as of this writing, that somehow have a spirit associated with them.

And that’s why something like child birth is awe inspiring to me. But not for the reasons many people have.

I understand the biology that makes reproduction possible. And it’s cool, but whatever. It’s still just a bunch of atoms doing their thing. The really amazing part to me is that at some point, this collection of atoms (the baby) is imbued with a spirit.

Now, I don’t know if this happens at conception or, at like, a year of age. But it does happen at some point. And that is where I see my God’s work."


It's the little things
WTF

"Man" starts with an "M".

"Woman" starts with a "W".

"M" is just "W" flipped!

Coincidence?


Art, I love thee

When I'm wealthy, I will buy one of the original pieces.

Movie's not over. Sit your ass down!
Informational

Things that bother me #188498373
 
Have you ever been watching a movie and you can tell that it's almost over because that "end of the movie" music starts playing? It's not quite the end, but it's like 5-10 minutes from the end.

And at that moment, several people stand up and walk out of the theater!

Dorioo: "Sit your ass down!!!!"

What is the rush with these people? I understand that you're trying to beat everyone to the door, but you're also missing out on the end of the movie.

And by standing up before the movie is over, you're distracting me from enjoying the end of the movie.

In an ideal world, a net would shoot out from the ceiling and hoist these people up to the ceiling. They would travel through a series of tubes and be shot out of a cannon into a soft pile of manure.

It would be a win/win. I get to see the end of movie without interruption and they get out of the theater as quickly as possible.

pEace.


The disrespect of Lateness
My Humor

Being late is like throwing a big middle finger in my face. When you're late, this is what you're telling me:

Lateness: "Dorioo, my time is worth more than yours. I am entitled to you being there when I get there but don't expect the same from me. "

Dorioo: "Bitch, YOU chose the time!!! If you choose to meet up at 3:00PM, then I am assuming that 3:00PM is good for YOU since YOU chose to meet at that time. I assume that all of your shit will be taken care of by that time."

Lateness: "Well, I had some unexpected traffic."

Dorioo: "Bitch! If you chose 3:00PM then mentally tell yourself that you need to be there by 2:30PM. I'm tired of all you fuckers thinking that something is 5 mental minutes away when it's really 20 real world minutes away. I understand my house is 5 mental minutes away. But in the real world, you can't leave at fucking 2:45PM, have to drive on a highway, and expect to be at my house by 3:00 PM."

Lateness: "Well, my shit don't stink."

Dorioo: "Fuck it. When I show up at your house with an Improvised Explosive Device, you best believe that I will be on time! Bitch!"

pEace.
