Southern Shame and yes...Fifty Shades of Grey

  Hey guys, did you know that very prejudice people still exist?

Well, they do. 

  A great happy wedding was planned for Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson, they booked the church in advance, and everyone was very excited. It was going to be a day remembered forever. 

  Then, the day before the wedding, they were told they would have to find another revenue, because they were black. According to the pastor, many church members 'objected strongly' to the First Baptist Church in Crystal Springs, MS having their first black wedding. 

   This my friends is a load of bull. It is unprofessional, unconstitutional, and it's against what the Good Book says. This is a male and female. They can get married according to God, no matter the color. This pastor should be ashamed for not standing up for this lovely couple, the congregation should be ashamed of themselves for objecting, and Crystal Springs for knowing such awful people roam the streets. 

  I am infuriated. I am just so ashamed of my Southern brothers and sisters. Oh sweet Jesus, this is 2012 this is not okay!

   Moving on, so I have heard that this Fifty Shades of Grey book has sold more copies than Harry Potter. I don't plan on reading it. Because it is quite evident, that this book is Twilight porn. And I am just not really a porn reader, sorry to bust some of you guys' bubble. Gotta be me guys. 

  But as far as the whole 'Fifty Shades of Grey sold more than Harry Potter' ruckus, I really don't...care. Hear me out, this is obviously just more proof that 'sex sells' and bad stuff will always sell. But Harry Potter, and other books like the Narnia series or other classics will be around hopefully, forever. Fifty Shades of Grey won't last. So calm down.

 A cool Youtube series I follow.

Shoutout of the Day: Whoever was in the black truck that honked like crazy at me and waved, thank you, I needed that scary honking and waving. I felt better about myself after that. And when my heart started beating again. So yeah, thanks stranger. :) 

Over and out.

Ready to go.

    So my poor dear neglected readers, I have left you with the understanding that my parents are unemployed, my mom's pregnant, and my life is  well, screwed. Let me update you sweethearts.

   We got multiple "we are interested in you"s from a lot of different places. We accepted an offer in Colorado. Aurora, CO. I know if you're a somewhat quick person you're like, um that Aurora, you know the one that made nat'l news a week ago?

Yes. 

   Is it disconcerting to think about moving there? A bit. But then, its disconcerting to move anywhere. You don't know what's on the other side, you're just praying you get to that Promise Land. Because, after getting over the fact that we are moving, I've actually gotten exciting about moving. Colorado is 'sposed to be really beautiful. 

   Hence, I am moving in two weeks. It will be a 22 hour drive. Yeahhhhh buddy. 

 

   And I just had to give my two weeks notice to my boss. *Sad face* It sucks. I will miss my Thai restaurant family. 

  But I know the question you're all thinking, Cailin, are you going to have that heck of a goodbye party? No. No I will not. No way. So the question that comes after that response is, well Cailin, why? Let's just say a cast party that I was looking forward to did not go the way I intended and I left an hour early. Because I realized that I was not sitting by anybody who wanted to sit by me, and nobody wanted to talk to me. In fact, I had the epiphany that I was getting all worked up over a bunch of people who didn't give a shit about me. These people wouldn't miss me when I was gone. No one would be like, 'Oh, I wish Cailin were here.' So I left. 

  Well, that was depressing. Onto other happier news, I FOUND OUT WHAT MY MOM IS HAVING. I WISH I COULD REVEAL BUT I HAVE SWORN SECRECY TO A CERTAIN DATE. BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM VERY EXCITED BY THIS.

  I think that was all... 

Oh wait. 

Thanks to you guys, I have had 1002 views. I thank you all cordially from the bottom of my heart.

No judging. 

Shoutout of the Day: To a guy who is probably at a Nebraskan reunion eating lots of cereal and pb&j. Thanks. For caring. It helped. And I won't forget. 

Over and out!

Love,
Cailin

Solution

Which makes me think of : 

Have a nice day. 

Over and out.

Shoutout to the Garrett

   So I have this friend named Maddie, and I think she is absolutely wonderful. She is in the summer musical at my school, called Guys and Dolls. And this show is set in 1950's and it's about gambling, and girls, and guys, and well, I don't really know.

   However, she told me there is this short little stripper scene and she was cast to be in that scene and she talked to our director and said that she would not like to be in that scene and he completely understood. Some people gave her flack but she stood her ground. And I'm proud of her for that. I probably would be in the same boat she's in if I was in that show.

   But that makes me think about women and how they are portrayed in our society. And thinking about it, American women are not portrayed in a positive light. Isn't that sad? We are portrayed either as sexual objects, or scary over-estregenized feminists! Neither are good...

  How do you go about changing society's image of you? Of your gender? Of where you come from? Of your skin color? Of your ethnicity? Of you sexual orientation?

Got no clue. 

Over and out.

Benefits to the Parents Not Being Home

1. You can eat what you like. No one is shoving the greens down your throat. (But seriously, I miss my mom's cooking..) I think I'm gonna get takeout tomorrow..

2. You can watch whatever. I'm a big fan of romantic comedy and drama, and my family is more action movie. I also love mystery tv shows. I've recently fallen in love with the Mentalist. (Simon Baker, you rock.)

3. You get all the cat's attention. My cat isn't extremely affectionate, so I enjoy getting all of her attention.

4. It's okay to not do dinner dishes immediately. That's what mornings are for.

5. Sleeping in without being nagged. This is a kinda a 'duh' point.

6. You can sing as loud as you want without being fussed at. I'm a very musical person.

7.  You can take your time in the shower. Another 'duh' point.

Well, even with all these benefits, I can't wait to see my parents tomorrow. So, have a good day.
Over and out.
Love,
Cailin
