Major protest in Fresno

Now there have been many protests over the years dealing with all sorts of topics, everything from women's rights to how the wars over seas have taken a toll on us all because of a President that had an old score to settle (which all came out in the end that it had been for the bloody oil in the first place). However there is one protest going on right now (and yes I did get photos but I can't post them considering that the only phone I happen to have right now is not connected up and the one person that was helping in that area is having a bit of a hissy fit for everyone using his phone, for which I rarely need it unless I seriously need it), one that had been splashed all over the news (both ABC 30 and The Fresno Bee), but will not get covered any more because they don't think that it's news worthy, or if it happens to be that it's going to be shunted off to a two second mention right next to another nation wide article.

 

Well as far as I can see, this is getting bigger than what the news places want people to think, but then again then never could remain unbiased towards anything, after all in their eyes, if the person is locked up then they must be guilty (doesn't matter if it happens to be the truth or not). Well with the people that are currently over in front of the court house, they're not only protesting what's going on with the Chukchansi Indians tribal leaders, but also at the same time that the voting rights that they have are getting trampled on like crazy, after all the ones that were voted out in the first place (and I got this from the prior news articles of the Bee) refuse to leave their positions. Then when they hold yet another election, the results of that one are the complete polar opposite of the election that had taken place.

 

Now in all honesty I really don't know what happened up there since I can't exactly leave Fresno right at the moment, but from what I had seen in the photos (which were posted in a prior blog entry here in My World), this whole thing has been going wrong from the start. What it also tells me is that the ones that were properly elected in the first place couldn't get in because the last ones that had the power wanted to keep that power (gee sounds like an power corrupting moment right there), after all just like Lord Acton stated "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupt absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you super add the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority." (That is from the Lord Acton Quote Archive) Personally though I like a better quote that one amazing person stated that should be utilized better "With great power must come great responsibility" Ben Parker to Peter Parker right after he got his spider powers.

 

Personally though I can't take sides here, I honestly believe that if the first election was the fair and correct one that started this entire thing (though I have no idea how that election went off since I only got to read about it in the Bee after everything was said and done, and I know that by far this story seriously isn't over by a long shot) then maybe we should look over those first results and see what went wrong, and have a mediator that not only is fair but also at the same time isn't from the government (either federal or Tribal) to help clear things up when it comes to all of this. However the only thing that one might end up seeing is the same end results of the second election that had taken place, and that's the same strong arm tactics that were stated to have happened in the first place. Who knows?

 

I will get those photos up on here once I can get them off of my phone, so you the reader will have to wait for those, but when they get up here they will bring into light everything that I had just been talking about above.

A legend passes on

The man that started the AT 40 Dick Clark has passed on at the age of 82 today from a heart attack. He is well known by many as a man that seemly never aged and would live forever, that however was not to be true. Dick Clark is by far the living legend that he became and always will be. I am saddend by his passing but know that he has passed on the torch to others that will carry out his work.

A topic near and dear to my heart, Bullying

Now I know that I've got you wondering what in the world I'm talking about when it comes to that subject line, well what I'm going to be talking about it something that I've come to realized needs to be dealt with on every age level not just wish kids, and that is the fact that there are people out there that are adults and they're still getting bullied even out side of school, and personally I not only don't think that it's right, I actually was an idiot for taking part in it in the first place.

 

Now no matter what any one says or thinks, bullying comes in all forms, from verbal to the physical as well. There is one guy that I happen to know (and yes I'm going to say his name too), his name is Justin Stone and he's always telling me that if he didn't tease me (a form of bullying right there) that he wouldn't like it, however the problem that he's got is that he doesn't want to admit that he happens to be bullying me (he actually said that he would kick my ass if I kept doing it to someone else, even though I had already realized what in the world I had done and stopped it). Now a real bully (which is what he happens to be) doesn't want to admit when they are bullying someone, however someone that's not a true bully will actually realize what they're doing and will stop it and go out of their way to tell the person that they were hurting in the first place that they're actually sorry about doing it in the first place, and will go out of their way to make sure that the person isn't getting bullied from others either.

 

Now the deal with Justin is that not only does he keep calling me gay (for which I'm not, hello happily married and trying to have a child with my wife which still isn't working to this day), but he's keeping me from finding out if my laptop is over at his place since he was supposed to take care of it and a couple of other items that I happen to have with that laptop, and he's doing that by constantly coming down town and never being there at his home, which really doesn't help me in any way. Plus here's another hum dinger (yeah I said that) for you, he also doesn't care about what he says or does around others and expects people to actually react to him  the way he's acting to them, even if it happens to be around women and children. So when he gets the reaction that he's going for he's thinks that you're a better person for it, sorry but I'm not about to become a barbarian just for what he thinks. (He also went all Hitler like on a bus at one point, but that's a story for another time).

 

Needless to say that Justin is just one example of a bully that needs to be dealt with, but there are no laws that deal with bullying as an adult and unless there's someone getting hurt, the police won't do anything about it either (which I personally think is wrong, but there's nothing that I can say or do about it). Now I've done it to a dear friend of mine as well, and when I had done it I honestly said that I was sorry for it, and showed it by not doing it any more (I was calling him names, and smacking him over the back side of the head (like what Tony Denozo gets in NCIS which should also be stopped as well) for doing stupid things). I know that it's wrong and I've stopped doing it myself, and the thing is I had jumped onto a band wagon that I should never have jumped on in the first place.

 

(Yeah I know what you're thinking, if others were jumping off a bridge would you do it to, problem is that the bridge is obvious where as what was going on here wasn't and that's how it slipped under my radar and never should've in the first place.)

 

Personally I don't know how in the world to write laws since I'm not a lawyer and I really wouldn't know who in the world to go to in the first place, but I also believe that this should be dealt with on more than just a kids level with K-12. However till that actually happens, there's no way that's it's going to stop, and that's another part of the problem there.

 

Back when I was in school, I myself I had been bullied by the other students that were there, and called a name that I will not write down here. Needless to say that when it came right down to it, those same kids that bullied me not only have stopped but at the same time have told me that they were sorry for it in the first place, and I forgave them for it as well. Of course while I was in school there was one person that I had seen that did want to help but had no idea how to help in the end, of course it didn't help that I scared her away as well (though no I wont mention her name since I made a vow promise not to any more).

 

All I know is that all of this bullying as got to stop period; I just wish that there was a way to do it for all ages.

A couple of things to talk about here today

Yeah I know that I need to come up with better subject header lines, but hey these things are last minute and I really can't come up with anything prior to that in the end. Besides as you all can see below this message, there's been more added to the signature that I always include on every email that I happen to write here, basically I've added all of the links to the pages that I'm personally working on, however the only problem that I happen to have right now is that other than people checking them out, no one is either commenting on them or "Like"ing them at all (and I know that I haven't gotten anything posted on Dreamworld in ages, but I am working on that one as well).

 

Now there are a few things that I'm also going to be covering on the political side of my blogs, but first thing is first, and that's dealing with a headline that I actually caught on the hard copy version of The Fresno Bee a couple of days ago, the only thing was at the time I just couldn't write anything on it since I was dealing with other things at the time which has been dealt with now.

 

Well this story (and here's the link for the on-line article) is dealing with a teacher that decided to show a more (hell how do I put this) "graphic" sex ed video in class (hell I'll use the Bee's head line on this one): "Video in Fresno State sexuality class spurs dispute". Now from what you can read in the article, the tape was showing off more than what was normally taught in a sex ed class (doesn't matter what the grade level happens to be, they all keep repeating the same crap over and over again). Thing is and don't get me wrong on this either, but I honestly believe that teaching more to the students instead of trying to teach them something that won't work (like Bush Jr's "Abstinence Only" programs) or things that are so out of date and saying that everything in the videos still work is crap. I'm sorry to say but going from VHS to DVD and not updating the content on the video is not the same thing as actually updating the information on the program, but hey that's me.

 

Now the kicker is the fact that living in the Valley here, we're talking this place is so bloody religious that anything being taught beyond the "Missionary Position" is considered a bloody sin (and besides in that position it helps the guys out only and doesn't next to nothing for the women at all (ladies please feel free to comment if you would like) and that's just from what I've seen of personal experience with my own wife). However to say that the video that was shown was considered porn is just bloody and completely wrong, hell the best ones to actually teach (and I'm starting to think that they should be teaching the class in the first place) a sex ed class would be porn stars, since it would be them that not only had the best experience at the entire thing, but they could also explain things that teachers these days can't explain at all (or just don't want to explain at all period).

 

However there's no chance in hell that any school would ever allow a lady (or a guy) porn star to actually teach anything dealing with a sex ed class at all, after all no school district is ever going to allow something like that at all, and even though all school are supposed to be keeping religion out of the school it's not really happening at all in the least. I mean with a lot of the older administrators that are there, they are slowly trying to get religion into the class, however the only problem that they happen to have is that the law is preventing them, namely that of the 1st Amendment (yeah that little kicker in their ass right there).

 

Now on the entertainment side of everything, there's a couple of things here, the major (though I believe that they're both major) one being the engagement of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Now even though they happen to be engaged, that really doesn't mean anything at all in the least since a couple can be engaged for years till they actually get married. Plus I have a feeling that these two were only getting engaged to make their kids happy and that was about it, after all I personally believe that they aren't going to till the church at long last losing its battle and everyone can be able to marry. Now personally I love the idea both of them getting engaged and wanting everyone to be able to marry first, however I also know the truth in the matter and the fact that both of them will be getting married before everyone has that chance. Either way, this is going to be the one thing that people on the entertainment side are going to be talking about for ages to come.

 

The last thing here before I head over to the politics side of everything is the new movie that's going to be coming out in a couple of weeks, the greatest lesson that DC and Warner Bros. could ever get and that's the Avengers movie that's coming out May 4th. This is honestly looking to be like the hotest movie of the year by far, after all it's got several movies characters that are being combined into on major movie and the ticket sales are already through the roof and into space BIG TIME!

 

I mean the one thing other than an Avengers Marvel movie that everyone has been asking for is a Justice League movie that covers everyone along with giving the characters their own movies as well. However it seems to be Warners long time excuse that they don't want to do it for fear that it will detract from the characters getting their own movies. Well the one major problem that Warner happens to have is that even before they get a chance to make a Justice League movie, they're killing the characters and the back story before they even have a chance to make anything that anyone would like. Besides as I've been writing this, I've also been checking on Fandango.com to see what the times and prices are going to be for release day, and so far there's only four times open, and they're all for 3-D only right now and nothing else (yeah I've been trying to get the 2-D side since I can't afford the 3-D side with the $4 extra price tag. However that so far is not happening at all, and it also means that Regal is bringing in the cash for a 3-D only movie right now. Just wish that I could actually get to see it.

The Rain in the Central Valley

Well and here I thought it honestly couldn't get any wetter this week and boy was I wrong (big time). I wake up this morning and it is pouring rain BIG TIME, and it's to the point that within minutes of stepping out of the Mission where I happen to live, my pants are soaked through just about completely (my wallet got slightly hit too which didn't help things at all).

 

Then as I'm making my way over to the library I heard on the radio (http://www.myalice967.com/) that there's a severe weather alert for the Central Valley till 11a (though that might've changed since I had last heard), though so far there has been no warning like there was two days ago about severe thunder storms and quarter size hail in Central Fresno County (I was over at the Manchester Center area of town just about to go into my bank Chase (https://www.chase.com/) when the alert came in over the radio (I had switched to that from my MP3 player since I had been wanting to hear something other than the music that I had been listening to and I happen to love the radio big time since you can hear new artist that way, though I'll get into that at a later time). Of course what didn't help was when I stepped out of the bank, the rain was starting to come down again, only this time it went worse than when I had been downtown at the time. Of course as I had walked up to that bank, there wasn't any rain at all, and then there was at that point and by the time that I had gotten to the Dollar Tree (http://www.dollartree.com/) it was cleared up, though from the bank to the store, one would've thought that there was just a wall of rain water, it was that bad (plus what didn't help is that they hadn't gotten any umbrellas in their last shipment so I had (and still don't have) nothing to protect myself from the rain with).

 

However both days, today and two days ago, it was my socks in my shoes that were the worst off of everything. I have a slit hole in the sole of my left shoe (along with the various holes above the soles), and when it rains the water gets right in there and my socks just die from that. Right now I'm wearing two plastic bags over both of my socks inside my shoes to prevent the rain water from getting to the socks again, though I don't think that it actually worked for my left foot at all where the slit in the sole happens to be. So till the rain actually clears up, I'm seriously starting to wonder if I'm actually ever going to get a break from any of this at all, after all a few friends that I know including my wife Miramonte, they all know that I have the worst luck on the planet (and that's not only factual, it's been proven several times as well).

 

Well with all of this rain, I really only have one question left (which I've already asked of those on Facebook this morning), who ordered the heavy rain for the Central Valley with a side order of drowned rat :)

The cost of something that should be free online

Well I know that I don't normally use my blog as a bitch page any more (though I know that I did in the start for which I'm very sorry in doing so for those readers that had seen all of that), but in this case it happens to be very warranted, and here's why.

 

I currently right now have two papers coming into my email, and both of them were free once I signed up and started an account with them, The Fresno Bee, and the Arizona Republic. However when I tried to get two more papers coming into my e-mail I discovered that they wanted you to pay for the on line version of them, and that's all well and good if I was also getting the hard copy versions of both papers, however I live in a city that both of those papers don't come down to unless it happens to be through the mail. Those two papers are the Contra Costa Times, and the Brockton Enterprise (getting both of those would help me keep up with what was going on both in the Bay Area and back east where my family happens to live right now). However the problem is that I would need to get a subscription for both of them in order to get the digital versions of both of them.

 

Personally I don't honestly feel that that's right, but it doens't look like it will ever matter as to what I happen to think at all, which means that I can't keep up with what's going on in either area. Personally I think that happens to blow like crazy, but I also know that there's nothing I can do about it at all. Like I said I just wanted to bitch about this since I don't think that it's right to charge for the on line version at all.

What's been going on with me in My World

Now I know that normally I would be covering something of entertainment and or the news here, but I figured that with everything that was going on in my life right now, I figured that a personal entry was warranted right about now, besides half the time, I'm either working on my book or trying to find some guitar tabs for a friend of mine that is paying me to get them for him. So in the end I end up neglecting a lot of things that I shouldn't be in the first place (unless it happens to be of human interaction then I don't forget that any more). So I figured that I would take one day out of everything that I've been doing (since I doubt that I'm going to get another chance like this any time soon), and just write about what was going on in My "Real" World, which mind you I'll be writing about everything that actually has happened in my life in a book for all to read (and from what my wife tells me, actually scares the royal hell out of my mother-in-law).

 

Now from what you're seeing in the signature below I've got a grand total of four blogs that I happen to write to, of course on the actual blogger site (http://www.blogger.com/) (which is where this posting will be going to in the first place), there are more than what I've actually posted down below, and the reason for that is simple, not all of them are going to be sticking around in the end, and the ones that are below are actually going to sticking around for a long time to come. Now I know that I haven't posting in the Dream World one in a while and that's because my current life changed, and so I've got to figure how that actually effects my Dream World blog, because the direction that I was planning on going with that is no where near what I had in my current life right now. As for the Ninja Chronicles blog, that right there is getting worked on it will be getting updated on a near constant basis, the only kicker is that when it comes to the writing of the story in the first place, it's actually competeing with the book that I'm currently working on.

 

Now if I could actually be able to get all of these done constantly it would be perfect, the only problem with that is that I don't have my own laptop since I have to use public computers, and that means both the public library and the computers at a location here in Fresno known as Workforce Connection, so everything is slowed so far down that it's not even funny any more, and in a way I'm actually jealous of my wife since she's got a laptop and that's the one thing that I don't happen to have right now (though I would love to, I just can't get the job in order to be able to get it).

 

Beyond that, the one thing that I would love to be doing is staying in contact with my family back east, and right now the only ones that I'm able to stay in touch with are both of my sisters and anyone that happens to know me back there. I mean on Facebook I've got both of my sisters listed on my "Friend" list, and yet I can't get either my dad or my step mother to friend me back there, and honestly I don't think that I can get them on there unless I happen to be back there in the first place, which at the current time isn't going to be happening at all. I guess that's just going to have to take time that I really don't want to take in  the first place.

 

Well that's a bit of an update for you all that happen to read this blog when something new is posted, and yes I will try to get to the rest when I can, and believe me the Political World will be taking off once someone in the GOP race is picked, and then I will pick him to shreds like crazy.
