The Fight Against White America

Sammy Hancock — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 14:00:06 +0000

Apparently according to Obama’s economic advisor, who happens to be white, the stimulus money shouldn’t go to high skilled professionals or WHITE construction workers. Seriously, why is it ok to single out white people in this? If he had said any other race this would have been blown up all over the news. How about we get on track and that money should be put towards retraining the American public into working at jobs they’re not currently qualified for. You always hear the old Chinese proverb, “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.”

Our unemployment system is broken, simply put. Welfare is broke as well. People are milking our systems while the hard workers of this country foot the bill. We shouldn’t be limited what money goes towards people. As long as they are a citizen of the USA and they’re actively working towards bettering themselves, I have no problems helping them out. It’s the low life’s that decide to work the system and people like Reich that says the government shouldn’t give money to white construction workers that bother me. First off, I think that construction workers are not majorly white any longer. Second off, the money needs to go to who needs it, regardless of the color of their skin. Apparently MLK’s words fall on deaf ears when it comes to equality in this nation.

Lastly, I’d like to state that the media loves to parade about when there happens to be white on black crime, but neglects to cover black on white crime, which the last few I’ve read about have been brutal crimes. Why do we ignore when it’s the other way around? Is it because of slavery? That’s long gone. And as far as racism goes in this country, I know there’s still a deep line we have to cross, but the fact is, if we refuse to report what truly is happening, we’re just prolonging the problem and not addressing it.

HIMYM: Belly Full of Turkey (S01E09)

Sammy Hancock — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:00:34 +0000

For this episode, I’m going to focus on the family aspect and how marrying into a family might be like a foreigner not understanding the language of his new country.

Lily visits Marshall’s parents and they’re pretty much saying how she should be and what should happen when they marry. She’s in a strange situation because she doesn’t want to be a certain way to please his parents. Now, my first Thanksgiving experience with someone who wasn’t a friend, was a very enjoyable experience, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit nervous going into it, with all the stories I had heard about everyone in the family. It was a big gathering, in a big house, with lots of food. It was actually one of my favorite events during that relationship, I met a lot of the family and everyone was very cool and helped me feel as ease with all the fuss going on over the day. As always, I started off awkward and not knowing what to do or what to say to anyone, so I kind of just hung back and played eye candy on the ex’s arm. Eventually everyone opened up to me and I opened up to them and I enjoyed the day there. It was far different than what was experienced in the show. There were no mayonnaise salads or basicekball.

HIMYM: The Duel (S01E08)

Sammy Hancock — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 00:00:10 +0000

This primarily deals with what’s going to become of the apartment when Marshal and Lily get married, which, I’ve never had to deal with that issue. I’ve only had 3 roommates total and it’s never been an issue.

But I guess at some point when we have friends, we always wonder what’s going to happen to some part of ourselves that we share with others. In their case it was an apartment, but it could be just a place you go to visit. When people get married priorities change and those married friend may no longer come and visit the same places. We don’t always fight each other for the privilege to say we should always do something together, but shouldn’t we? Marriage shouldn’t change what makes us who we are. Someone can’t decide for you what you can do from now on, just because the government says you’re a legal couple. I say, fight to be happy, fight to keep control of what makes you yourself and after that, I don’t know what I was really getting at with this episode.

Dos

Sammy Hancock — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 01:09:04 +0000

It’s been a while, and yet I’m still searching for the answers. Why? I’ll always ask that. Nothing I do or nothing anyone does seems to make any difference in the way I feel. I just want to break down and let go of everything, but I can’t yet. I’m still clutching onto everything. I say I’m ready, but who am I kidding but myself? I need time away from everything. It’s time to retreat and not look back. It’s now my turn to do what’s best for me, and not what’s best for anyone any more. I need my time to be selfish.

Feelings through Music

Sammy Hancock — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:40:06 +0000

You could have been all I wanted,
But you weren’t honest

I’m not afraid of the price I pay
I won’t lie down as you walk away

Does anybody feel this way?
Does anybody feel like I do?

But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live

I don’t care about much,
I’ve given up trying

Time gives you changes to come back again.

It’s hard to face the truth sometimes

Take second chances
Everyone deserves it
Help me start over

I don’t need you, or anyone, but me
I’ll just be, living my own life.

I know what I should do
But I just can’t walk away

You kill me, you build me up
Just to watch me break

And I’ve written pages upon pages
To rid you from my bones

And without you is how I disappear
and live my life alone forever now.

No damn her, still I choke on her lies

I’ve been waiting here my whole damn life,
And I’ve forgotten what I wanted

There is a wound that’s always bleeding
There is a road I’m always walking
And I know you’ll never return to this place

It’s easier to lie and be safe

A new day is coming
and I am finally free

Nothing good comes easy
Sometimes you gotta fight

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
You’re scared of the truth, I’m tired of the lies

So lie to me once again
And tell me everything will be alright
Lie to me once again
And ask yourself before we say good bye
Well good bye
Was it worth it in the end?

Never know what life is gonna throw at you.

Show Apartments

Sammy Hancock — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 00:44:35 +0000

Why are they also furnished so well when no one has a job or a job that doesn’t pay as much. I mean, most of the shows set in New York City have characters who don’t have the best jobs and are in huge apartments filled with a ton of items. For once I want a show that really shows how a bachelor lives or anyone starting it off in NYC. Having just the bare essentials and struggling to get by. That’s what I want to see.

Indian Review

Sammy Hancock — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 05:49:12 +0000

So for lunch yesterday I went with Cat to visit the Indian/Mediterranean/Greek place in town while I visit friends and family. I, of course, sampled many different dishes that were offered, some I had had before while others were new to my palette. I honestly did not eat anything I did not like. It was great to try a new cuisine after wanting to for so long and having so many people not want to actually try something new for once. I even struck up a conversation with an Indian guy that was there and recommended a couple places in Marietta. So I might hit one of those places up if I can find someone willing to go. I can say this though, Indian food gives me some bad side effects, and I always just heard stories about it, but it is so very true. If you don’t know, you probably should look it up, but my stomach was in pains about 6 hours after I ate. It’s all good though, I would definitely eat at an Indian place again without hesitation.

Everybody lies.

I started watching House awhile ago, and got pretty into it and then held back because I was going to re-watch them, but that never happened and I continued through Season 1. It’s just a damned good Medical show while throwing in lots of sarcastic comments here and there. It’s not as comedy driven as Scrubs, but it’s got it’s moments where I’m chuckling to myself. At the end of the season, the last few episodes were really good. Building more into each character and learning their past and their present. Definitely can’t wait until I can get my hands on Season 2.

you can never love someone…

Sammy Hancock — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 00:00:50 +0000

I’m still waiting for the news dad,
That she’s gone and never coming back.
I can’t go on because the strength I had is gone
And I find it hard to get out of bed

Which is worse: Hell or nothing?

Sammy Hancock — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:00:33 +0000

Reading through Invisible Monsters, this quote came up. As always quotes, it got me thinking. What is worse? To someone who doesn’t really believe in anything called Heaven or Hell, nothing would be far worse. I get chills thinking about what happens after we die. Is there an afterlife? Is there reincarnation? Those things, I do not know. I don’t even begin to wrap my head around such concepts. I just know that when death does come, I don’t know what will happen to me. I hope for the best, but my mind tells me, it’s nothing.
