When I was younger, I used to just go for walks in the middle of the night. Where was I going? Absolutely nowhere. I had no destination in mind. I would just walk. Sometimes I'd end up somewhere, sometimes I'd just get tired of walking, and turn around and head back home. That was kinda how my life was. I had no idea where my life was going...if it was going anywhere at all. I never knew what was going to happen next, what kind of clusterfuck life would throw at me next. No clue. As difficult as not knowing what was going to happen next was, I kinda miss it. Now, whenever I leave my house, I have a destination in mind. I'm going to work. I'm going to the store. I'm going to the post office. It reflects my life. I always know, pretty much, what is going to happen on any given day. I'll go to work. I'll take care of my babies. I'll clean my house. I'll mow my lawn. I'll do some laundry. I never wander anymore. I miss wandering. I miss the excitement that came with not knowing. I miss not knowing if something was going to happen, and I'd wind up shit faced drunk, in the middle of Times Square with a couple of my friends. Or maybe nothing would happen, and I'd just wind up thinking and walking. I miss not knowing who I was going to meet. Where I was going to go. What was going to happen. Was I going to get into a fight? Was I going to get fucked up? Who knew? I didn't. I miss it. Don't get me wrong, I like my life. I adore my children. I don't mind doing laundry, mowing the lawn, cleaning my house. I love my job. I just wish, for a day or so, that I could just wander through life again Just so I could not know what was going to happen for just a little bit again. Sorry this one wasn't funny, or anything like that. I've just been thinking of this recently.

Someone mentioned that there hasn't been any "THE FUCKING WORLD'S GONNA END!!!" theroies recently. As a survivor of Y2K & 12/12/12 (and the shit ton of other "doomsdays" we've lived through) I find it troubling that everyone isn't convinced that humanity is going to collapse upon itself this year. I mean, come on...every other year had one, right? So we're just going to leave 2013 out of it? The world's not going to end this year? WRONG!!!!! That's just not fair to 2013. Look at it. All lonely and with no fanatics freaking out that we're all going to die tomorrow. IT'S A GODDAMN SHAME! So, I came up with an "end of the world day" for this year...you know, so it wouldn't feel left out. (Poor 2013) Everyone will be forced to buy the Xbox One over the PS4 due to a rash of explosions at Sony's factories/warehouses causing mass suicides, and homicidal fits of rage. Blood will pour into the streets. Millions dead. Bounty hunters will hunt down Bill Gates and string him up in Times Square. Steve Jobs will arise from the dead and release the iPhone 5s, 6, & 6s over a span of only three months, causing the survivors of the Xbox massacre to wreak havoc all over the world because they had just bought the new one, and now there's another one out that has a single new feature that the previous version didn't have. Rioting and looting will become increasingly common, as billions line up at Apple stores to get the latest version, but the stores are only receiving deliveries of 1,000 phones. Hipsters will switch back to Nokia flip phones, and the reanimated corpse of Steve Jobs will hunt them down and feast on their flesh. Once bitten, they too will become a "Jombie" (a zombie Steve Jobs). Their need for constant mindless apps, and pointless conversations with Siri will attract them to anyone who has an Apple product, and they shall be turned as well. Billions are dead, millions are obsessively playing Candy Crush (or hunting down people with an iPhone/iPad so they can upload selfies to Instagram). The handful of survivors will be forced to find refuge in remote locations, and go mad from a total lack of technology. They will brave the infested zones in a futile attempt to locate a PC to update their Facebook status. Mark Zuckerburg will eventually hit a kill switch, removing any trace that Facebook ever existed, causing more suicides. The people who don't kill themselves, will massacre each other in a bloody war know only as the Interaction. It will be brought on by the lack of ability to express speech or emotion without utilizing pokes, likes, and status updates. Gyms and restaurants will be burned, as no one can check into them anymore, so they prove useless. After 16 months of war, someone will remember that there is still MySpace, and the treaty of the Friends List will be signed, restoring peace. People will then realize that they no longer have access to Apple's IOS system, and the cloud will delete everyone's data. People will be forces to use only Android powered devices. This causes the great Android Plague. Those who are using the Android systems, will go insane by its lack of speed & ad-free apps. They will have to be put down as to not spread the disease to the half million uninfected survivors. And that, my friend, is how humanity will fall. We only have until 11/12/13. It can be prevented...but as of yet, no steps have been taken. Find me on: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nytatt2chick Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/nytatt2chick Instagram: http://instagram.com/nytatt2chick YouTube: http//www.youtube.com/therealnytatt2chick Google+: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/104204766948735523107?gpsrc=gpmobile:ios&partnerid=gpmobile:ios&source=apppromo Email: People are generally misinformed at what a police officer's job duty is. They really believe that it's "to protect and serve". Now that may be true, but to protect who? To serve who? The majority of people think it's to protect and serve the general public...civilians. That is WRONG.
"In 1856, the U.S. Supreme Court (South v. Maryland) found that law enforcement officers had no duty to protect any individual. Their duty is to enforce the law in general. More recently, in 1982 (Bowers v. DeVito), the Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit held, "...there is no Constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen. It is monstrous if the state fails to protect its residents... but it does not violate... the Constitution." Later court decisions concurred: the police have no duty to protect you." ( http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=34199 ) So really, the police can literally (and have) stand right next to you while you are being attacked, and have absolutely NO responsibility to stop the attack. The ONLY thing that they are required to do is detain your attacker AFTER you file a complaint...even if they witness the attack themselves. The police are ONLY required to "protect" themselves, and that is all. (Of course, having a shit ton of money always helps, and can buy police protection) The "serve" part is a whole other story. It's not the literal definition, as many believe. In fact, it is the "legalese" definition, and only refers to serving paperwork (tickets, summons, warrants, etc). So what does the police department actually have to do for you? Not much. They must accept and file complaints and reports, serve legal documents, and make arrests ONLY if there is a complaining (or deceased) victim. Another little known fact, assault on a police officer is defined as "unwanted TOUCHING in any way". This INCLUDES if you attempt to defend yourself, while you are under attack BY A POLICE OFFICER! So basically, they can do WHATEVER they want to you, and if you so much as TOUCH them, YOU WILL BE CHARGED WITH ASSAULT!! How fucked up is that?? The fucked up reality is that, as civilians, we have very few rights, when it comes to the police. The Miranda Rights are a joke, and when they ask "Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?"...it's actually in legalese. What they have ACTUALLY said to you is this: "Do you stand under me?" meaning "Do you grant me authority over you so that you then obey and answer to me, and whatever I tell you to do?" ( http://knowledgeispower-uk.weebly.com/legalese---acts--statutes.html ) (I know that it's a UK site, but the same applies in the US) The whole point to all this is...POLICE ARE NOT THERE TO PROTECT/ASSIST/AID YOU IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM! Their sole responsibility is to protect the GOVERNMENT (town/state/local). THAT IS ALL! They will lie, cheat, beat the innocent, steal, rape, murder, you name it...with absolutely NO consequences. Why? Because the police will protect their own, because they are a BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT THEY ARE SWORN TO PROTECT!! The rights and needs of civilians will ALWAYS come secondary. And this is why WE need to PROTECT ourselves. Not just from civilians who wish to do us harm, but from the POLICE who will do whatever they wish, in order to protect their employer...the government. (Side note, there are a few officers who are not totally fucked up, but they are very few, and far between) Hellllloooooo!!! Long time, no blog, huh? Missing me yet?
Anywho...I'm scrolling through my newsfeed on Facebook (which I REALLY need to stop doing so much because it usually pisses me off a great deal), and I see this ridiculousness from the morons over at News 12. Here's a link to the actual posting: http://www.facebook.com/News12LI/posts/10151436343658551:0 (You do need a Facebook account to see it, but the above picture is a screenshot of the original post) Link to the SC Sheriff's "Test, Don't Guess" program page.
http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/sheriff/CommunityPrograms/DrugTestingInitiative.aspx (Note they changed the "Scared Straight" program to the "Y.E.S. Tour") So, here's my opinion on the subject: [DISCLAIMER: THIS IS MY OPINION. IT IS BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPIERENCES WITH DRUG TESTING, TEEN DRUG USE, AND THE PARENT'S APPROACH (as well intended it may be)] First of all....THEY'RE NOT "FREE"!! It's a waste of tax money. If you think your kid is doing something, and you want to "Test, Not Guess"....PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!! You can buy home drug tests at any pharmacy, and health insurance covers most rehabs/drug testing. Don't make ME pay because you can't trust your kid, or you can't just shine a flashlight in your kids eyes to check for pupil dilation. Second...IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE ANYTHING DIFFERENT!!! I was drug tested, pretty much every week, from when I was 13-17....and I only tested dirty one time. I SHOULD have tested dirty EVERY time, but there are ways to get around it. So your kid tests dirty. Then what?? You get into a huge fight, they: (A) Stop talking to you about ANYTHING. (B) No longer trust you, and feel like you're "invading their privacy". (C) Let you yell, scream, and threaten them, and do the same crap they were doing in the first place. (D) Decide they're going to "run away" (E) ALL OF THE ABOVE And what are you supposed to do? (A) Put them on PINS probation, so you kid can keep violating, and get sent to a state house, and/or Juvie? (B) Kick their ass so they "learn a lesson", and possibly get reported to CPS? (C) Do nothing, and possibly get reported to CPS anyway, for child neglect? (Only now, they can prove it) (D) Throw your kid in rehab? (E) Put your kid on "lockdown", so they can run away, and you have no idea where they are, if they're alive or dead, who they're with, what they're doing.....? (F) All of the above? If YOU think that YOU'RE kid is doing something then YOU need to take your kid to FAMILY COUNSELING, and try to reestablish a good rapport with your children. The counselor WILL do a drug test if you request it. The most important thing is to take a look at what you're doing. If you're constantly drinking in front of your kids, they will probably drink too. If you're smoking weed all the time, and think your kids don't know...I got news for you...they do, and they will smoke too (probably steal it from you!). If you're at home eating Valium/Xanax all day so you can "deal", they will too! The most important thing of all is to keep the communication lines open between you and your kids. Granted, this gets nearly impossible when they're teenagers, but it can still be done. And a little ass whooping (NOT BEATING!!!) goes a long way. I have been unable to find exactly how much of the taxpayer's money they are wasting on this program, but I have heard up to $2000 for every 100 tests*.
*This may not be accurate. I searched for the budget allotment for this program, but was unable to find it. I wouldn't be surprised though. At home drug tests range from $7.88-$47.78, and can be a simple 5 panel cup piss test, to a hair follicle test.
http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/at-home-drug-test-kit/ID=prod368689-product http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/home-drug-test-kits I'm sure they have MASSIVELY inflated the costs of the "free" drug tests (probably to cover up some of their insanely high saleries, which have FINALLY been brought to the public's attention) The most important thing is to talk to your kids, and raise them correctly. Lead by example! If you're doing a decent job, you should be able to trust them. Still have your doubts, just use a flashlight! If their pupils are little pin pricks, even after you remove the light from their eyes, they're using some kind of depressant (opiates, alcohol, etc...). If their eyes are largely dilated, even while you're shining the light into their eyes, they're using some kind of stimulant (cocaine, meth, etc...). And if you shine the light into their eyes, and they scream something like, "FUUUUUCCCKKK!!! THERE'S A LASER BURNING A HOLE INTO MY FACE!!!!", and start trying to rip their face off....they're probably on some kind of hallucinogenic drug (LSD, PCP, etc.) Love you all!!!!!! xoxoxo People don't understand that when they make an appt. with me via text/email/phone....whatever....they're not guaranteed a spot. IF I'm free at that time, I will probably hold the chair for 10 min (ex. asked for appt. @7, didn't bother to show up till 7:20.....and you're pissed because now you have to wait? Sucks). If you want ANYTHING drawn up in advance, a deposit of $40 (min, more for large pieces) should be left, and a work order form should be filled out, which includes a detailed description of what you want done, where, size, color/no color, amt. deposit left, name & phone number. The client can also book an appt. at the same time, as long as there has been a deposit left that is comparable to the amount of time I would have wasted should you decide not to show up. If you leave no deposit for a drawup, but leave a $30 deposit for an appointment, your work will NOT be drawn up in advance......BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LEAVE A DEPOSIT FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE!!!
Also, STOP ASKING FOR PRICE QUOTES VIA TEXT/EMAIL/INSTAGRAM/FACEBOOK/PHONE!! Especially if I've never met you! I have no idea how your skin takes ink, how big your leg/neck/arm...whatever, is! I cannot give you a price without a face to face consultation. And if it's your first time coming to me, don't ask me for a "hook up". I DON'T KNOW YOU! Repeat clients often get better prices because they've proven to me that they'll continue to come back, and most of them bring me new clients. And tipping....do not even get me started on that. People will tip the person who carried their food from their car to their house, but won't tip a person who's put in hours and hours of work into something permanently on your body?? REALLY??!! In short, if there is no face to face consultation (clients from out of the area are exempt from this, but pictures & dimensions of the space you want covered must be provided), no work order filled out, no deposit left....the client should have no expectation of anything drawn up, or a guaranteed time. (Of course, I do have some exceptions to this rule....long time clients, friends, family.....etc.) I take deposits in cash, money orders, and via pay pal. A copy of the work order is ALWAYS given, as proof of receipt. I don't know why this is such a difficult concept to grasp. You don't simply walk into an OR and say, "OK, got time to do that operation for me?" If you want to book a hotel room in the Hamptons in July, you don't just show up and hope they have one open. You call ahead and reserve it by putting down a deposit! I just don't get it. So...unless you are one of the few exceptions to the rules, don't just text me with a picture and say "I want this", then when you decide to show up, you're pissed because I didn't draw anything up, and someone's in the chair. If you didn't leave a deposit, don't expect anything. This isn't a "hobby" for me, this is my career. It's how I pay my bills, feed my kids, and live! I wouldn't ask you to work for free? Why should you do that to me? Little side note:
This isn't directed at anyone specifically. Just saying. Well howdy y'all! I just watched Quinten Tarantino's new film "Django Unchained". Pretty good movie, as I expected. I'm a fan of most of his movies (Reservior Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Inglourious Bastards), so I was expecting it not to suck, at the very least. He didn't fail me.
There's a lot of rumors flying around that the movie is based off a true story. Sorry, but no. Although similar situations COULD very well have occurred, it is not based on any specific historical events. It's set in the South, pre Civil War. If you're sensitive to (I would almost say the overuse) the word "nigger", don't go see it. It's seriously in pretty much every other line. Jamie Foxx did a great job. I can't say anything negative about his performance. Leonardo DiCaprio played a good, effeminate, southern plantation owner (ironically called "Candy Land"). The one that struck me the most was Samuel L. Jackson. He plays the part of an older house hand named simply "Stanley". Within the first three lines of his character's introduction, you learn immediately that he is not a fan of people who aren't of a lighter skin tone.
He did a great job, and played the part very well. (Even though I kinda wanted him to say "I'm tired of these mothafuckin niggers on this mothafuckin farm" at some point) The one thing that I couldn't get over is his character's similarity to Uncle Ruckus (no relation), a character on the show "The Boondocks". If you have seen both you will know exactly what I'm talking about. I almost expected Stanley to start singing "Don't trust them new niggers over there". The characters were that similar. That aside, I give this movie an 8/10. Good acting, good writing, good & interesting music choices, great action scenes. All around good movie.
(I apologize for my use of the word "nigger" in this posting, but it is necessary to discuss the movie.) Sooo, if you've seen it, let me know what you thought. If you haven't seen it, it's not a waste of money for a ticket, unlike half of the crap that they're pumping into movie theaters recently. So go see it! That's all I got this time! Please follow my blog if I made you think, or laugh, or eat ramen noodles, or ANYTHING....and feel free to comment if you agree, or disagree, or just love kittens! I'm not here to judge you! But I do have an opinion on a LOT of things, and if you can help me understand yours, in a logical and reasonable fashion....you might just change my mind! But probably not.
I love you, and I hope you have a glorious day! You can find me on twitter: www.twitter.com/nytatt2chick Or the book of faces: www.facebook.com/nytatt2chick So I'm messing around on Instagram. Love that friggin app. But anyway, I make a comment, and some fucking jackoff gets all over sensitive, and apparently thinks that I'm talking directly to them (how could I?! I don't fucking know you!!), and feels the need to say something stupid like:
"That's really not cool/funny to say that. I'm insulted. Wah wah wah!!!" (Ok, at the end, I was just picturing them crying) WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THAT COMMENTS MADE ON PICTURES OR POSTS, THAT THEY DIDN'T PUT UP, ARE DIRECTED AT THEM?!!!!??!! Am I the only one who gets confused by this?? If I don't fucking know you, and I'm commenting on someone else's shit, how in the fuck am I talking to you??? Someone explain this to me? It's especially confusing when the person who decides that they want to start a bitch fight with me (Which they will NEVER win! I'm not really a bitch...I can be if the situation calls for it....but in these situations, I just find it hilarious!), doesn't know the person who's picture/post I commented on in the first place!!! Like they feel the need to be the fuckin sentinel of the Internet....standing up for people who gets deragotory comments on their shit. (Would make a pretty lame, but relevant superhero. Internet Watch Man! Protecting the threads of random people for no reason what so ever...on the Internet. Basically a guy, in a cape, at a computer....pretty lame). The whole point to this is this: CALM THE FUCK DOWN!!!!!! If you don't like what someone has to say, and you're truly offended by it.....maybe you need to look at yourself for a minute. Maybe you're a little hypersensitive? Work on that. Maybe you need to get a sense of humor? DEFINITELY work on that. Or maybe, especially if the thread/photo could definitely lead to disagreement.....DON'T READ THE COMMENTS!!!! On the other side of the coin, if you actually LIKE getting into "comment arguments" with other people...GO AHEAD! It's hilarious! Now, I do understand that sometimes people who post racist comments, ignorant comments, just plain stupid comments, etc., might need to be educated that that is NOT OK! But, in the end, you've just gotten yourself all pissed off at someone you don't know....and they probably didn't even learn anything. I'm guilty of that crap myself. Like if someone puts a post up like: "Did you hear about the guy who got shot in Bellport the other day? Crazy, smh" And some ignorant ass fuck comments something like: "You know it must have been a (insert offensive racial slur here)" Then yes, I'm gonna attack the shit outta this cock hole!!!! So yes, I am totally guilty of this too, but none of my comments are EVER racist, ignorant, etc., because I am neither racist or ignorant! So let me know if this has ever happened to you. I cannot be the only one. Da da da DAAAHHHH!!! Internet Watch Man, AWAY!!! (As he glides across the floor in an office chair!) That's all I got this time! Please follow my blog if I made you think, or laugh, or eat ramen noodles, or ANYTHING....and feel free to comment if you agree, or disagree, or just love kittens! I'm not here to judge you! But I do have an opinion on a LOT of things, and if you can help me understand yours, in a logical and reasonable fashion....you might just change my mind! But probably not. I love you, and I hope you have a glorious day! You can find me on twitter: www.twitter.com/nytatt2chick Or the book of faces: www.facebook.com/nytatt2chick Ok...so I usually go off on long friggin rants on Facebook, like EVERYDAY! So I was thinking about how I fill up other people's threads with my constant shenanigans......why not make my own blog?! I'll probably still post borderline maniacal rants on everyone else's shit, but at least THIS way I can say, "Hey, guy who I totally fuckin disagree with.....if you don't like what I have to say, DON'T FUCKIN READ IT!!!!!" So here it goes.
I'll keep this one pretty light (mostly to not terrify you with my insanity!). Yesterday was Christmas, and I hope everyone had a great day (even if you don't celebrate Christmas, STILL HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY!). Anyway, here's what got me kinda irritated. I got my kids two of these Meep! Tablet things....mostly because they're always trying to steal my phone, or my computer, or ANYTHING electronic. That's not all they got. We spoiled the SHIT outta my 2 babies. Long story short (I could see you fading in my mind already!), the fuckin servers that you need to log into to do, well, pretty much ANYTHING with these things crashed due to the insane amount of traffic (hmmmm, guessing I wasn't the only one who was sick of gettin all my crap stolen). That's not even what pissed me off though....had to give you a little back story so you'd know what the hell I was talking about (foreshadowing!). So all these parents are all over the page like "Oh you guys fuckin suck...my kid's crying because he wants to use his tablet", or "You guys RUINED Christmas because my kids think Santa brought them a broken toy.". Ummm, NO! That's a BAD mommy or daddy!!! Ok, I admit I'm a little bit pissed that I can't set these fuckin things up for my kids, but, hi people, my name is reality, and I have a check for you: Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, if the fact that you can't set up the fucking tablet that you ALREADY spent $150 fucking dollars on, and your little Princess Spoiled Cranky Banana can't fucking deal with the shit ton of games/apps/ebooks that came PRELOADED on the fucking thing for a couple fucking days while they try and fix the goddamn servers; MAYBE YOU NEED TO HANDLE THAT SITUATION FIRST BECAUSE YOUR KID IS GOING TO BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN LIFE AND YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A SHITTY CHRISTMAS NO MATTER WHAT!!! Maybe, I don't know, your kids can play with the other 65 million toys you bought them, that they didn't need in the first fucking place, and just deal with it. Or maybe I'm crazy. Let me tell you RIGHT NOW that, yes, I totally spoiled the living SHIT out of my kids this year.....but they can deal with not having like 150 games instantly at their fingertips, that they're just gonna get bored with anyway!!! When I was a kid, I would get clothes...FUCKING CLOTHES...for Christmas. 99% of the time, they were clothes that I didn't even like!!!! (Sorry mom....the cat's out of the bag!). I'd get a couple toys, maybe one that I asked for (or a no name knock off...GOD FORBID!), but you know what?! I was fucking happy! So if you're one of the materialistic parents who are bitching and whining that your little precious shit is unhappy, kill yourself. You've already bred, but maybe your kids can be saved. That's all I got this time! Please follow my blog if I made you think, or laugh, or eat ramen noodles, or ANYTHING....and feel free to comment if you agree, or disagree, or just love kittens! I'm not here to judge you! But I do have an opinion on a LOT of things, and if you can help me understand yours, in a logical and reasonable fashion....you might just change my mind!
