If I could turn back time...

Lately with everything that has been going on, my sister getting married, my niece growing up, my husband joining the Air Force, it makes me wish the family lost, was here with us now. Both sets of my grandparents are gone. My mom's dad passed when i was five, then my mother's mom, 12, and my dad's parents passed away within a year of each other, and it only seemed like yesterday. I miss them so much, and it breaks my heart that they are not around to see how their family has grown, the things we have accomplished, the things we still have yet to accomplish. My husband and I getting married, which I was lucky enough to have my dad's parents with us, but it is still bittersweet that they can't be here to witness our lives. The Gerardi Grandparents, didn't get to see me grow up into the woman I have become, they didn't see me at prom, graduate or get married. The Reed grandparents got all of those, but they aren't here now. Neither set will ever get to see my children, see my graduate college(when I finally go), and live my life. This life just seems empty without them. I still remember small things about them, which I will treasure forever. I just wish I could go back in time, and be with them more, knowing now, that I had, what seemed to be, a few precious moments with them. That fade away with each passing year. I am blessed to have my mother and father, and losing my grandparents already, makes me want to spend as much time with my parents as possible! It hurts to continually think that this is how life is. Parents, daughters, sons, grandparents, sisters, brothers, uncle, all leave us, eventually. If I had one wish, it would be to bring back all my family passed and spend one day with them. Talking, laughing, and remembering! That's all I would need. So they could see how wonderful there family is, and how much we miss and love them. I would do anything to hug my grandparents again, and tell them how much I love them. God willing, that's the only thing I would want. My Family.

Westboro Baptists Protesting...

So I recently watched a video of the Patriot Guard Riders, attending military funerals, and literally protecting the slurs and evil remarks from the Westboro Baptist Church members. The only thing I wish could be different, was that I was standing in the line of Riders, protecting our fallen soldiers. Where do these people come off spewing hateful remarks to our brave and fallen soldiers? How can they call themselves American? If you don't like the fact that these people are dying for your rights, I will fucking show you the door! Get Out! My husband is newly enlisted to the Air Force and now more than ever I understand what it is to respect the soldiers fighting for our rights and freedoms. I am disgusted that these people have the balls to stand there and make a grieving families worst day, even more so!!
If you have something to say, whatever, fine! But how is it, even motley religious, to stand there and hold pickets signs saying "Thank God for Dead Soldiers?" If I was any where near these protests, regardless of the consequences, I would go beat the shit out of these ignorant, rude, and abusive of their rights!!! I watch these videos and read these articles, and my main thought is, they think gays, and the military are to blame for their shitty lives. Did they ever fucking think that they are really to blame? Do they realize the pain, and heartache they are causing a family? Even if it doesn't agree with their beliefs? Is hurting someone already grieving and saddened by this massive loss to them, so important? It's fucking INHUMAN!! I personally find it disgusting, revolting, intrusive, degrading, un-patriotic, and abusive of their fucking rights, that our military has given them. I would so love to beat the shit out of one of those little wastes of life!! Where do they get off? I mean, what, do they get their kicks out of this? Hurting others? They are the ones that will BURN IN HELL!!!! Not the honorable men that have given their lives, and the ones that are still fighting for our country!!!! They need to shut the fuck up, because one of these times, someone is going to come after them, and I personally can't wait till that day comes!!! ROT IN HELL YOU WESTBORO BAPTIST PIECES OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

...The land of the free and the home of the brave

So everyone knows about the earthquake that hit Haiti, and all the help that they are trying to give them to rebuild their own lives. Personally I would love to hit these people in the head. I understand that we are trying to help our neighbors and all that jazz, but really people?? Why don't you try to take care of your own country?!

For example, I personally have seen people on the corners of streets holding signs saying "Will work for food." I find this totally revolting, that the fact that Americans have to prostitute themselves as hired help for them to survive. Our veterans from WWII, suffering from the fact that they can't afford to feed themselves, or pay for their prescriptions. It is absolutely ridiculous.

All these people in Hollywood are always saying "Give money here. Give some here. Hey, they need money now." They make MILLIONS of dollars for one day, per movie, but yet they can continually sit there and tell us to give up our hard earned money, that we even have a hard time procuring. I am absolutely appalled by the fact that the middle or lower class people are getting the short end of the stick.

The President is continually saying that we are the best country in the world. Personally, I don't agree. Yes, we have more freedoms than a lot of other countries, but our economy is so much in debt, that we can't enjoy these freedoms. They can't even achieve a decent health insurance plan.

Another thing I find hysterical, is that after September 11th, we started invading Irag. We started a war and started bombing. Now, after all the war, we are assisting in the rebuilding of Irag. WHY THE FUCK ARE WE DOING THIS??? I don't understand. We invaded. We conquered, and we helped? Don't drop food, DROP BOMBS!! Be done with it and bring our troops home!!!!!!
I think that Obama needs to start helping the people of the United States and stop assisting the others in the world. Take care of your own first!
Sometimes I don't want to be an American because I am so disgusted with the way America is being run! ASSIST YOUR OWN FIRST ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Glittering limelight of Hollywood....

When I think of classical movies, I think Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and many other creditable films.

The recent remakes have caused me to speak up.

Why can't they let the classics remain as such? Why do new directors need to pollute the reputation these amazing movies have in order to create more BGG? Blood, guts, and gore for those wondering.

My love of the true classics are the one's that get into your head. The scare factor behind them. Alfred Hitchcock, all his movies are legendary, and rightly so. He was without a doubt, a truly gifted man, through making his movies focus on the scare fact, and not the gore.
I recently saw that they are remaking The Wolf Man. Personally one of my favorite movies, but now with them revamping it into today's expectations for the BGG. It is absolutely revolting that these directors from the Hollywood hills, get paid millions of $ for their original and unique ideas, and lately it seems that their "talents" haven't really been up to the task.
More recently books, and movies already done, are being remade, because no one is capable of leaving a masterpiece alone.
The Halloween movies, beyond exceptional for their time, were remade by Director Rob Zombie, because he is a BGG kind of man. I have not watched them, nor do I want to.
They are subjecting the classics to modern tweaking, because that is what everyone wants to see, that and nudity of course. Why can't people understand the motives behind the older wonders? That they weren't the BGG, but the psychological thrill, of what was lurking around the corner? What was behind the door?

I am appalled in the new direction that these movies are headed, and will gladly stick to the true masterpieces anyday!
