This is Why I Don't Trust The Police or the Government

Since I moved here, I've lost count of how many times I was pulled over. I'm tired of it. Yeah, after having a flashlight shined in your face, when you're driving down a remote road that doesn't have lights-you wouldn't be so happy either. The worst part is they pull me over because they can. I dont speed. Why would I? I'm driving with my 7 kids in the minivan. I try to keep my cars in he best condition I can, free of violations. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, they will pull me over. I ask them why, they put the flashlight in the eyes of my kids. I'm afraid fo my sons, they both have permanent tans. The cops and troopers cross the line all the time. They tried to man handle me when I was pregnant over some nonsense, then the same cop hits on me and gives me his number?!?!

Life is not the same for all Americans.

For this reason, I've drilled two important things into my kid's brains.
Rule Number One
If you're pulled over by a trooper or cop, don't say anything unless you're asked.
Rule Number Two:
NEVER make any sudden movements. They will shoot first and never ask quesions.

I pray for my kids all the time. Having an incident like the UF Taser incident or death are my worst fears. My god brother was assaulted by cops. They thought he was someone else. His face was unrecognizable. He went to file a complain at the precinct and they assaulted him some more. They also threatened him to not take it any further. He didn't. He is a good kid. He works, goes to college and pays his own rent. He didn't deserve to be beaten and even worse, justice was never served.

See, although we are Americans born and raised here-we are judged by the color of our skin. It's always the same in the school. The caucasian child brings brass knuckles to school and hits a Hispanic or black kid across the face. The minority is led out in handcuffs.

I don't trust the government or the police, but when you look at the whole picture...Life here is better than in other countries. I just pray that people would treat others with respect and not from their resevoir of twisted fears.

So much for FREE SPEECH...

Britney to Perform at VMA's in Vegas

Ok. She better pull this one off, if she ever wants to have a carreer again. Somehow, the thought of Britney Spears and Las Vegas doesn't bring up a pretty pciture. Booze, promiscuity, drugs and the philosophy "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"...not a good mix.

Plans Spoiled Again

My plans to go to a Bed and Breakfast during the summer were spoiled. The plan was to go to the Jersey shore for a Jonas Brothers concert. When I was purchasing the tickets, I realized the meet and greet tickets were sold out. The Diva decided it wasn't worth all the expenses (the cost of the concert tickets, inn, gas, tolls and food) if she wasn't going to meet them. Yes, I saved a nice chunk of change, but I didn't get to stay at an inn.

The day of the concert was cold and dreary. It was supposed to be a beach event, so I guess it all worked out. Perhaps, we'll be able to stay at an inn when they go to Texas...

Shopping Around for Furniture

It is just like me to start worrying about the next phase of a project without even finishing the first phase. I am currently giving one of my living rooms a much needed overhaul. The furniture was purchased with my ex, that tells you how old it is. I hate it anyway, so it is going to the dump. (Don't worry, the damage that it has is irreversible.) I am looking for a chaise lounge to add to the room. It will keep the room with the Victorian era charm I worked hard to acquire.

There are many sites on the web that offer the convenience of online shopping. There is one by the name of LenoirEmpireFurniture.com that has Bassett, Broyhill, American Leather and even Century furniture. There is only one thing that is frustrating with the site. I'm shopping with the intent to buy, but like so many other online furniture stores-they don't provide the price.

I wonder how many customers are lost because of that? How many people will actually go through the trouble of filling out a form, just to wait for a rep with a quote. My guess is way less than half. It can't be good for business, at least not on the net...
