New Medical Marijuana Policy Issued

Google News
Digg.com

States are now free to make their own laws. Feels great to live in California, we've had legal medical marijuana for ages ;)
Thanks Obama <3

Several days ago I made a comment on Digg in regards to an article that claims 166 million people use marijuana worldwide:

"Obviously nobody can lock up 166 million people, so something has to be wrong with the law if enough people are ignoring it because they don't see it a crime. Kinda like speeding..It's illegal and you might get a fine if you can't talk your way out of it, but everybody does it anyway.
I don't think total legalization will realistically happen anytime soon (Its more of a business to keep people in jail then to keep them out. Cops have bills to pay, and probation officers have to pay off their loans).
This is all due to the fearmongering of the drug war(s) and those insulting commercials we had to deal with. Nothing new though, Harry Anslinger did it over 80 years ago and they did it again during the 80's (Haven't researched it enough to mention any other dates), blaming marijuana for why society is being flushed right down the toilet and using voodoo pharmacology to try to scare the public. Anyone remember that commercial of the stoned teenagers driving into a kid on a bike?
They played every card you can imagine and then some, but they're running out and obviously people aren't stupid, they're just defying an unjust and outdated law; plain and simple.
I don't even personally use marijuana, even though I more then qualify for a state medical card due to my mental disability. Don't see a need for it, but at the same time I believe people have the right to make up their own mind, choose what's best for themselves, and if someone makes the wrong decisions to just learn from them. No big deal, that's life. Locking people up does nothing to prevent crime and petty crimes like smoking pot with your friends once a weekend hardly qualifies as criminal if you read the newspaper as often as I do."

Just An Update!

I've been asked to write a success story for Orange County and how the mental health care system and housing authority has helped me get back into shape and on my feet. It will be published on one of the county's websites, but I dont know which one.

Also, the yearly awards ceremony is coming soon and I've been nominated to receive several - But again, I dont know which categories it will be for. I'll post pictures when I can.

UPDATE: I won an award for the two years of volunteer work I did!

Also getting back into school soon - I was supposed to be starting the mental health worker program, but they had a waiting list of 100+ so that never happened.

That's all for now :)

Ooh, rejected by the six-month old "Newport-Mesa Daily Voice"

So I went on an internship program and met with them today. Office was about the size of my living room and two people were sitting on the couch, a smug asshole was rested at his desk and some bull-dyke looking scary bitch was the one who I was talking with. I found them via good ol' fashioned Cregzlst (Remind me never to do that again).
Anyways, I got an email from some jerk with the excuse of "We're meeting with local high schools and college programs to find people, thanks for your time". Obviously more bullshit, right? Ah, these are troubled times when one can't find a non-paying volunteer job at a website ran out of what appears to be a garage.
I don't think they liked my uh, unusual brand of humor, and as one person put it: "The language".
One rule about journalism is that free speech and the first amendment is always to be accepted. Fuck the status quo. I'm embarrassed I even put on a nice shirt when I met them and feel I dodged a bullet with this one.
Besides, who needs an entire staff to run a shitbag website registered March 9th of this year anyway, a stay-at-home blogger like me could do their work.
The entire interview was very disorganized. She plopped down an assignment in my lap and said to have fun with it. No small talk, no chit-chat, nothing. Just another run of the mill site with its head so far up its ass making its own rules that it wouldn't know journalism if it hit them square in the balls.
Don't be surprised if this entire project registers a 404 error in the near future. You're all a misfortune to the internet, and you're only setting yourselves up for failure. Major bad karma points on you all ;)

Final words: I will never stop writing about what I think is right, because I was taught to always believe in something and stick with it. No matter if I'm wrong, or if im out of line, or even apathetic. That's what writing is about, writing what you love and hate. Get with it, adapt to the times, or wither away like all the other small-minded ones.

Computer-Voiced Crank Calls!

(Update 9/30/09 with two more at the bottom!)
Here's what a friend of mine and myself have been working on:

Dirty Vagina has church confused.
W*lmart tells off your mother for not washing yourself.
I swear my friend told me the dentist can give me a sex change!
My vagina is leaking
NEW - I need my testicles laminated
NEW - Hotel for a mass orgy

Ask The Community - Why People Sag Their Pants Down To Their Ankles.

The internet's great, isn't it? I had forgotten that just because I live in orange county and I'm down with the whole multiculturalism thing, it dawned on me that there just isn't that many black people here. I had also forgotten that they have the most interesting culture of pulling their pants down so the waist is half-way below the thighs (After observing this for the first time in ages..) and I was like "Ah yeah, now I remember.." But I never did figure out why they do this, despite growing up on the east coast and attending public schools where half of the population were outcasts from New York. Like everyone else I turned to google and asked it why some people are keen on this..Here's a few of the replies, and some of them are just fucking goofy:

"Looks like they took a big dump in their pants, the same effect that baby's have when their diapers are so full they're sagging and about to fall off.."

"I have a theory that it's a conspiracy by the Indians and Chinese to increase the dumbness quotient of American youth, so that they can steal even more of our jobs and money. If kids are so focused on keeping their pants from falling down, it distracts them from learning anything useful.."

"I have some people like that at my school and they even do that in gym class and when they run, they waddle like a duck."

"When I'm waiting at a red light, or I'm at the mall, it's so entertaining to watch a group of wannabes walk by - with their pants around their knees; their shirt as long as a dress; their shoes untied; and the sparkle of gold coming from their mouth. The only thing they are missing is a big red nose."

"This style is designed to acclimate them to the poorly-fitting clothing they will soon be wearing in prison."

"Please don't make fun of the mentally challenged children who fail to put their trousers on properly.."

(Actually, in this case it's full-grown adults. If you want to call them that..)

"Lack of parental guidance. Lack of self-esteem. Lack of appropriate role models.
Lack of positive peer pressure. Lack of a full length mirror. You pick."

"In prison, men tended/tend to have sexual relations with each other since female companionship is lacking. One way men "showed interest" in relations was to sag their pants, letting other men know they were willing. So, basically, its root stems from a request for gay male sex in prison. Every time I see a man sagging, I burst out laughing. If they only knew."

Guess what? FALSE. But it would still be funny to tell someone who's doing it that, just to see what they say. Try it ;)

Anyway, it did originate in prisons due to their "One size fits all" rule, but the road to a mainstream thing was paved by failed hip-hop acts like Kriss Kross. God bless the music industry..Whoever thought fads from the 90's would still be around?

1 In 5 Will Be A Victim Of Sexual Assault

"..If there are 100 homes in the neighborhood, about 10 will house a child being sexually abused.."

"..One in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be victims of sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.."

This was in the newspaper this morning in Orange County, California. We as a society have a lot of work to do. These people need to be put behind bars, castrated for their own protection, then put to death.

Psycho

If you see this guy on the news next year, remember that you saw him here first!

Change of Plans!

I decided to start a new blog about all the stuff that keeps my folks lurking on my site. It'll be private, and I'll be moving all the appropriate posts over there. The reason for this is I want to keep the two fields separate, so I can still have a day-to-day blog that's public, but a different one for all the other stuff. I'm in the process of talking to a few graphics designers to get set up, should take about a week or so. I'll post a link, but you'll have to email me for an invite. As I understand, you can only use Gmail.

This way, it gets rid of the usual prying eyes and preserves the last two years of work. They obviously wouldn't have a reason to be on here anymore, so it'll just work itself out :)

The new address will be: BaD KarmA: Family Business
