AUTISM AWARENESS DAY

Bike Run For Autism in Alto Bonito Park:STARR COUNTY

Have some family fun and support Autism Awareness. As a mother of a child with Autism, I know how difficult life is for not only the child, but the family as well. It is crucial to spread more awareness of Autism and have the communities come together. It is not often that these events for Autism occur in Starr County, Tx., so to have amazing groups of people come together to present these types of events is incredible. Please don't miss the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge about Autism.

According to Autismspeaks, 1 in 88 children have autism (the numbers are increasing everyday) and only 5 percent of research funding goes to Autism research (Autism Speaks). It kind of makes you wonder if the numbers are so high, why is so little contributed to the research of Autism? The fact is, it is, so its up to the people to take a stand and take action to raise more awareness and possibly research funding. The children are the future of tomorrow and whatever we are doing to help them now will directly affect or change the world not just for them but for the rest of humanity.

9/11 Full The Painful Deception Truth & lies behind 9/11 - ...

Only the truth can set you Free...think about it..don't believe everything that is fed to you. If you have a mind of your own, use it. If something seems odd, question it and analyze it. Do your own research and analyze the FACTS not just the NEWS.

GUESS WHO'S BACK!! BACK AGAIN!!!

It's been a long time since I've been online let alone blogging. My life is just overdrive busy with being a single mom, fulltime-student, worker etc.. and my special needs children. My children always come first before anything and the great thing about writing is you can always come back to it either when you have some time to think or you just have a lot on your mind that you need to express.

Fortunately, I have alot on my mind and I am in great need to express myself yet my time is very limited and I'm going tthrough this on sonic speed so please escuse my grammer as I don't have time to edit that much.

Anyways, something that has been bothering me lately has been this political season surrounding my community, which I'm sure has been going on everywhere throughout the country. Though where I'm from Politics is involved in everything especially in schools. I don't know if this is necessarily a good thing or a bad thing but I do know this, where there is greed and corruption there is evil.

What's funny is that these people involved in school politics claim they want to help our community and make a difference in our schools yet they haven't done anything for our children so far.

If you really want to help our community stop with the lies, end the corruption, and end the greed
involved in politics and education, because as long as these things continue to be a part of our school, politics, law etc..the system will always be flawed.

My words to them are as follows:

The first thing you need to do is start with your own children. You can't claim that you will help our children
and community when you do nothing for your own but teach them greed. Talk is cheap, don't just say you will make a difference to get people to vote for you, actually do something before you claim you know what's best. I don't believe in paid advertisements or billboards, they're as fake as the person who paid for it.

I can't say that my family is perfect but when there is an issue I take action the best way I can, when possible. I start with my children first because even if I don't get to make a difference in this world I know that my children eventually will carry on the legacy.

I'm not perfect and neither are my children, I'm human and I make mistakes yet I have learned so much about life. I'm not done learning, I still have a long way to go before I become wiser.

We have struggled so much yet that is what makes us stronger not only as a family unit but as individuals. It is in the struggles that a person can actually learn, teach, and help others.


P.S.  Whoever says "Life's a piece of cake" must be joking. Life is a whole cake that might be missing some elements or ingredients but so what, eat it all up, digest it and make the most of what you do have or better yet learn how to make a better tasting cake each time until you get it right, then teach the children the same ingredients so they can make their own cake. Don't worry if their cake turns out better than yours, it's all part of the plan. ;)

Random Thought: Why I Hate Phones That Are Smarter Than Me

I don't like it when a phone is smarter than me. It makes me feel jealous. I like to be in control of my phone not have my phone tell me what to do.

Don't get me wrong, I used to own a smart phone and I loved it (that's the problem). I depended to much on it for everything and if I didn't have it I would go crazy and turn into a psychopath investigator being suspicious of everything and everyone.

Everywhere I went I had to use my phone and it was touchscreen so if I would put it in my pocket it would start dialing random people.

Anyways, here are just a few reasons I dislike Smart Phones:

I don't want people to laugh at me

My phone didn't have spell check but I've heard most new smart phones such as Blackberries have this and I've heard it's a pain in the a**. At least that's what I've seen from some FB statuses.

We got people calling themselves "gay" when they meant "wey" (dude) and "kiss" instead of "diss" and other words that are too rated for me to mention them here. Apparently these new smart phones are not Street Smart lol!

This type of words can make you the laughing stock and can really damage your online as well as offline image. People will look at you differently if you know what I mean.


Smart Phone APPS

Another reason I hate smart phones is because of the apps. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not putting down people who like to play games on their phones or like certain apps. My problem is that certain other types of apps such as spy ware or malware can be installed into your phone without your knowledge.

 One particular spy ware that seems to be popular amongst smart phones is Mspy. This type of software is advertised as helping people catch their cheating spouses or businesses to spy on their employees if they are using the companies property such as company cell phones, computers, etc.

While it seems harmless to most, it can get out of control and most of these apps are being used unethically. Too much power in the wrong hands or SMART phones can get crazy or should I say Genious crazy.

THEY DIE

Theses smart phones are so smart that eventually they get tired and their batteries need recharging just like people except we don't always die on the spot. These phones are more unpredictable than a human's life and they require so much energy. 

When they don't have enough they die and it could leave you at anytime when you most need it. You could be having a special conversation with someone or an important phone conference that gets cut off all because your phone needs to be charged.

YOU LOSE BRAIN CELLS

I mean here you are depending on your phone for everything. You are using GPS to get to places and you are searching everything you need so your brain stops functioning like it should be. 

Don't get me wrong even computers do this to us sometimes but smart phones are so portable that people seem to carry it anywhere so they become dependable on it even for simple reasoning skills that they forget how to think for themselves. 

There are many more reasons why I hate smart phones but it would take a book for me to express my opinions (it's a possibility lol). I always get crap about not replying to phone texts and I have to apologize for my phone not being as fast or smart. 

It takes forever for me to type a text on my prepaid numbers only phone but since practically everyone owns a smart phone, not everyone understands me. I know I'm probably missing out on all the game apps mania fun but it's OK as long as I don't lose myself.

They think I'm just ignoring them, but I'm not. People can judge me all they want about me not owning a smart phone but I won't apologize for not wanting to own one. That's just my decision and believe me I am much happier now that I don't own one. 

Note: Not everyone who owns a smart phone depends on it as much and I'm not saying that these phones are for people who are not smart. It's just a concern I have that large corporations are making billions from these phones and humanity is paying a much higher price than just money, such as their freedom and their true selves but that's just my opinion.

Reader is asked to do their own due diligence or research before taking any action!

CHRISTMAS KIDS FREESTYLE

I hope this song puts you in the spirit of Christmas and don't forget the reason for the season and the real reason we celebrate Christmas. When I heard the stories about Black Friday, I was appalled. We had people fighting over toys and electronics.

I heard a young boy was knocked out by an adult and was sent to the hospital. Seriously people!! What has the world come to? Christmas should be about rejoicing in the promise God has for his children.

All this greed and fighting over money and material things needs to stop! We need to teach our children that Christmas shouldn't just be about how many presents are under your tree. It should be about spending time with the people you love and sharing the love of God and his promises.

If you have health, a home, food, clothing, and the love of your family or friends, then non basic material things should not be a factor. If you have more than enough then be grateful but don't flaunt it. If you can help others in need then do so and God will bless you even more but being selfish and greedy during this time of year should be unacceptable. Don't forget we celebrate Christmas because of Jesus!! Hope you all have a great Christmas with your loved ones!! :D

Cops turn Violent, NYPD drag girl across the street. #OccupyWallStreet

Why are ppl being treated like animals? And the way they are treating that child? For What? To protect Wall-Street? To protect Greedy corporations and the ELITE? What about THE PEOPLE?..this just makes me sick :( The Wrath of the Lord is coming soon against all evil&no HUMAN-MADE WEAPON or LAW ENFORCEMENT serving the EVIL will be able to stop it!!! What a bunch of sell-outs!!! The children of GOD will be protected and all EVIL will be destroyed!!!

Bank of America refuses to let customers close accounts

It makes me sick that living in America people get treated this way. This doesn't just happen in Bank of America. Almost all banks make it hard for people to close their account claiming all types of excuses, but its our right to close our accounts. No one should have to force you to keep your money in the BANK. We live in AMERICA, don't we?!!

THE OCCUPY MCALLEN PROTEST HEARD SEVERAL CALLS FOR CHANGE

LAND OF THE FREE OR LAND OF THE ELITE?

"LAND OF THE ELITE"

Quiero vivir en "La Tierra De La Libertad"

Pero siempre estan deteniendome contra mi voluntad

Quiero vivir en "La Tierra De La Libertad"

Pero siempre están controlando me dormida y despierta

They wanna arrest Latinos for any reason

And force Latino Babies to go back to their parent's country

This country was made of immigrants and now they wanna stop the expansion of the population

Why? Cause they're afraid Latinos will take over this nation

The largest minority into majority

I don't know about you but hey will not stop me

For fighting for my people

This ain't no movie with a sequel

This is reality in a world full of insanity

This ain't the "Land of the Free"

Should be called "Land of The Elite"

But that's about to change

We're about to rearrange 

They want to rewrite history

We're about to write one of our own

There's too many of us It will be hard for them to control

If another revolution is the solution

There will be no confusion of the illusion

They have brainwashed us into believeing

They have always been conceiving the plot to destroy the minority

Inflation through deflation so they can buy up the majority of the countries

More money more power seems to be their goal

They blew up the twin towers so they could take control

Blamed it on the immigrants so they could spy on the innocence 

The Patriot Act was enacted

The human rights people reacted

How can "The Land Of The Free" be now "The Land of The Greed"

Our founding fathers warned us about the dangers of tyranny

Why couldn't we forsee

Now our land is in jeopardy 

But here comes our saviour or so we think

A man of color who promises change

He gives us hope promises to rearrange 

The laws with so many flaws

But after his victory 

He reveals his true identity

He does not work for The People

He works for wallstreet

His actions not his wise words to the reactions should prove reality

Seems like no one cares what is happening to their country

They're more into thechnology

"Oh put on my chip" they say "I will not resist"

"Lets track the terrorist that don't even exist"

Till this day the weapons of mass destruction are missing

We went into war when the proof wasn't even existing

The world is coming to an end

Time to stop the pretend that everything's ok

And the economy is stable

Our troops are dying everyday

Its time for us to enable the original constitution that made this country great

"The Land Of The Free" has now been filled with hate

But as long as I'm alive I will fight for our rights

Whether it be through my music, education, information Through the sites 

You will know your rights

GENDERLESS BABY?

We are living in a crazy world today. Expect the UNEXPECTED or the EXPECTED!! As a parent myself I don't like to comment about how parents should raise their children but this story definitely caught my attention.

Parents of a baby decide to keep their baby's gender private even from family members such as grandparents. They plan to homeschool the baby and raise him without mentioning his gender.

They say its all in the name of freedom of choice and I'm all for freedom of choice for adults but how can the baby know freedom of choice if babies depend on the parents for survival the first couple of years.

The child's development is critical before the age of 3 yrs. old so whatever you do before that time will either benefit your child or destroy him/her. I could understand if the child has a disability where the gender is unknown or he/she was born with both genders but to impose being labeled as a genderless baby is setting up the baby for confusion and psychological entrapment. 

In my opinion it seems as though these parents are using their child as a guinea pig in a psychological scientific experiment. Parents are supposed to be the child's first teachers in life and even though you shouldn't impose certain beliefs on your children you should teach them your values but still accept your children no matter what decisions they make in life as soon as they are old enough to decide for themselves.

Children cannot make decisions for themselves at such a young age when their brain is still under development. If that were the case then why do they need parents.

I know many people don't believe in Freud's theories regarding children development but he makes some good points about the phallic stage in which he clearly points out that if the child is fixated during this time then more than likely the child will have confusion issues regarding repression and identification later on in life but thats a massive controversial

THE ROCK v. STONECOLD & SNOOKY ON WRESTLEMANIA XXVII

Many have asked themselves "Is THE ROCK aka Dwayne Johnson really here to stay or is this another way of promotion for an upcoming movie?"

He clearly points out he's not back to promote an upcoming movie. He's back for the Fans. I hope so because ever since THE ROCK and STONECOLD LEFT Wrestling it left many Fans like myself wondering if it would ever be the same without them.

Most of us even stopped watching while WWE did their best to attract new fans by bringing in John Cena but people are getting tired of hearing CENA ask us if we can see him..lol!!



We know that STONECOLD STEVE AUSTIN 3:16 will be hosting a new reality show called "WWE TOUGH ENOUGH" airing the night after wrestle mania on Monday 4-4-11..Ummm this should be exciting. I wonder if he's going to be toughening people up with whoop ass cans on their head!!

Whatever their reasons for returning to WWE its definitely bringing some excitement and has people everywhere talking.

Its about time these new fans appreciate how great wrestling was before and thanks to "STONECOLD" and "THE ROCK" we can get things shaken up again. Its about time we get some ELECTRIFYING action and the new cats get a can of WHOOP ASS all over their face!!! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW!!! "CAN YOU SMELLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING" Can I get a "HELL YEAH"!!



Oh I almost forgot reality star "SNOOKI" from the Jersey Shore will also be appearing on Wrestlemania XXVII!! Maybe she will show up Drunk or maybe ANGELINA will show up..u never know what may happen SNOOKI v. ANGELINA!! CANT WAIT!!

Wait even better they should have THE SITUATION aka THE SNITUATION v. SAMMI!!! It would be fun to watch Sammi do a STONECOLD STUNNER on THE SITUATION!!

THE ROCK IS BACK!! THE ROCK IS BACK!!

"DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING" I do..lol..Many have asked themselves, is the rock back? Im sure you heard that THE ROCK has come back several times but this time it seems like he is here to stay.

After being in and out of wrestling to pursue his acting career "THE ROCK" also known as Dwayne Johnson has come back to RAW!!








In this video below he disses JOHN CENA.
CENA took over the WWE after THE ROCK and STONECOLD seemed to be more interested in pursuing their acting careers!!

Ratings dropped after STONECOLD

and THE ROCK left but CENA brought some excitement and attracted new younger fans but THE ROCK has come back to claim back his position as "THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP"

"DO YOU SMELLLLLLAALALAOU WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING"

"WHAT" I smell some ELECTRIFYING KICKASS!!

"CAN YOU SEE ME" JOHN CENA WHO?

Frontiers of Racism

An Educational Video which highlights the truth about the Anti-immigration laws and their real theory behind it. Decide for yourself with critical thinking and skepticism if you must but one thing is certain, Immigrants are not taking your jobs and its hard to tell whether they are the terrorist or our own government is using psychology and us to do some sort of mind-control so we turn on each other or our own people. What do you think?

GOT TALENT?

I give props to people who want to get ahead in life and do whatever it takes, but seriously, using other people and their talents just to benefit yourself is not cool, but unfortunately it happens in the MUSIC business and the people with real talent get left behind.

For example, Diddy has used many artists to get his name out their and remain successful and when he's done with them he just lets them go. Lets face it Diddy might be a great business man but that's about the only talent he possesses because he has everyone else take care of his dirty laundry or should I say Dirty Money..lol

There's a difference between collaborating with other artists to help each other out and just plain using people that haven't made it yet to get ahead in life!

Sometimes it is about who u know, who your willing to use, and what your willing to do to get there which is why so many artists that are talented remain underground and undiscovered until someone smart enough to recognize real talent discovers them or discovers the un-talented artists who just happened to use talented artists to get ahead in the Music Business, whichever comes first..LOL
