Give me that old time feminism Blog

In  her 2006 essay for the Huffington Post, "Give Me that Old Time Feminism", New York Times bestselling author Barbara Erhrenreich asserts that, old time feminism is dying out and how some of the older feminism groups have started calling of the dogs and have given in to the new role for women in society. However, noting that there are still some old time feminists still out there ready to make a big deal about the mistreatment of women, and to fight pornography and fight for women's rights among many other things. Then she brings the point to the table about how Islamic culture treats women like chattel (property).







I dont necessarily think think that full-on feminism is the way to go, but i do agree with many points that she has in terms of how women are treated in the world today, and how they have been treated. I did start off reading it and it seemed extremely boring, but then i read to where she talked about Islamists, and i was like Yes ,that culture does treat women like crap, this lady has made an excellent point, thus making me somewhat interested. The way Islamic culture treats women is horrific to say the least. If any women think they have it bad here, they really would not last long in largely Islamic cultured countries.

My toe (dont read if you grossout easily)

I had surgery done on my big toe on my right foot friday, because it looked slightly infected. well, come to findout, i had an ingrown toenail, so whenever i went to the clinic thing friday, we just went on ahead and fixed it while i was there. Now i am currently taking meds for it and waiting for my toe's full recovery. Its not the first time i have had an ingrown toenail, on that same toe. I had the previous one worked on in 7th grade in middleschool.

(new) entitled to opinion part 2

I disagree, because his point of view on all of this is to basically try to be right all of the time. Being right all the time isn't worth it. We gotta lose sometimes. Honestly, i kinda drudged my way through reading this because it was a great deal of nothing but boring to me. But, that's just my opinion. And apparently, i'm not entitled to it. If we weren't entitled to our opinions and acted on them, no American would be American , because if the colonists hadn't decided to rebel from Great Britain (they weren't entitled to their opinion, but they still did what they thought was best, to separate from them) there would've been no revolution, thus we would probably be a great big colony for England to this day. Just food for thought "Mr. Thinker"

In Patrick Stokes, Lecturer and Philosopher at Deacon University's Article, "No Your not Entitled to Your Opionion", the author claims that in order for you to be right, you must know what you are talking about. I agree to that much, but once again, i disagree with his attitude, because it doesnt matter if im right or wrong, i can still have an opinion. If you dont like my opinion, you stink! (Once again, me showing off my opinion skills, lol). I am in the half-and-half boat on this, because he comes off as arrogant to me, even though he might be correct to a certain point (like i mentioned earlier).

Transition of vehicles-Sheila to ?

I used to drive a Black 2005 Nissan Titan. She was my first vehicle. I had a name for her, "Sheila". She rode me all around and she was very good to me, she never gave me any problems, nor did she nag at me or back talk me. I loved her. But this past weekend, dad traded sheila in for a new car. A White 2012 Nissan Altima. truthfully, i always had a secret affair with Altima's behind Sheila's back. So basically, i turned my back on a lady that always trusted me (never a good thing for men to do). But now i have my new car, i have yet to come up with a female car name for her.

One great thing about my new car, is that she has 30 highway mpg and 27-28 town mpg vs my truck having 21 highway mpg and 17 town mpg.

College Football Blog 10-18-12

Well, here it is, another college football blog. Yeah, my Auburn tigers are 1-5 for the year so far, so not very good to be an Auburn fan right now. Auburn isnt even gonna make it to a bowlgame this year :( and here comes the archrival of Auburn being #1 ranked footballteam of University of "those that must not be named" strutting around like they own all of college football. But come the end of November, there gonna get theirs! War Eagle

Fear-My Halloween Blog

I used to work in a couple of Haunted Houses in Bibb County for a few years. I worked as a clown with a chainsaw for the past two or three years and i love to chase people around that are just terrified of clowns and chainsaws. The last three years i worked in one, our gang had moved to an old town multi-story jail, and i worked between the epic "Clown room" and "the outside" were people have to walk around for a minute and i could jump out and scare them. I liked the outside best, because i had a good place to hide in and surprise the people. But, in the outside area is an opening that goes to the basement of the jail. There is no door or anything, its just and opening where you can walk in and out of. Anyway i had someone tell me to go down in there and jump out to scare the people when they come by. That basement has such an eerie feeling to it, there was no way i was gonna hide in the opening to jump out, because i thought something in the basement would drag me in and i would never be seen or heard from again. That jail has had a good bit of history behind it enough to scare me for those reasons. One room they had called the Hanging room, because that's how they killed many prisoners. That floor of the jail is always creepy when your alone there. One night, i actually kinda want to "spend the night" at the jail, but i'm pretty sure that after an hour or so, i would be entirely too freaked out to stay, alone anyway, lol.

Paintball

I love to go paintballing! A few friends and I from church are gonna play soon, so i thought I'd blog about it. I have 2 paintball guns, plus one that really isnt mine, but i have been borrowing it for many years now. My 2 paintball guns are: Tippmann 98 Custom (best beginner paintball gun ever), and the U.S. Army Tippmann Alpha Black Tactical paintball gun, which looks similar to an M16. The gun i have been borrowing is a Spyder Victor 2, which is a good (speedball) play paintball gun gun. The first two i mentioned are better (Woodsball) guns.
