Smokin' Twerkin' Teach

     Carly McKinney, the 23-year-old math teacher at Overland High School in Colorado, must be the dumbest teacher on the face of the planet ... with a lot of supportive students.
     Any teacher (any person who works directly with children in any aspect) knows that there are certain aspects of your life that are just not meant for the social media sphere because sooner or later (and most likely sooner), those children will get to seein' them.

     So what inclined this woman to post this online is beyond me ...

     I get that what she does outside the classroom is her business and all that ... But either way, I mean throw some privacy settings on your accounts. Or better yet, have some better judgement. I thought that once most people even entered the job market, they quickly took down anything slightly scandalous from their social media sites, especially considering the fact that more and more employers are using social media to look for/weed out potential employees.
     Even throwing that aside, this woman needs to understand that as a teacher, as a YOUNG teacher, that she makes a very big impression among the teens she is interacting with day to day. That can easily be seen in the amount of students flocking to their social media sites to support her.

     So, seriously lady ... put on some clothes, put down the joint, and grow the f- up ...

Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad. I'm hot for teacher. (Hot for Teacher, Van Halen)

What's Wrong With The World Today? - Racy Racism ... Or Is It?

     GQ magazine recently released its list of the "100 Hottest Women of the 21st Century" ... despite there still being "987 more years in this particular millennium," according to the article.
     While the list contained some common hot names such as Beyonce, Shakira, Eva Mendes, Halle Berry, and Megan Fox ... There were some surprises on it such as Seth Meyer's celebrity survey choice of Hillary Clinton, about whom he said, "I think somebody who is getting sexier every year is Hillary Clinton. Every year she seems better at whatever she's doing. By the end of the millennium, she's gonna have it locked down."

     However, that was not the real surprise ... Amongst its list, GQ found it appropriate to include the following categories:

     - Hot Chinese Chick: Zhang Ziyi

     - Hot Italian Chick: Monica Belluci

     - Hot Indian Chick: Freida Pinto

     - Hot Pregnant Sri Lankan Chick: M.I.A

     I am at a loss to understand why these women were singled for their nationalities and/or ethnicities on this list of so-called hot women, in the first place. Why weren't Beyonce and Halle Berry listed as "Hot Black Chicks" ... and why wasn't Shakira the "Hot Colombian Chick" or Eva Mendez labeled as the "Hot Latina Chick?" ... 

     OHHHHH, because those some of those might have been considered offensive. I get it. The media gets to sexualize certain women ... But if they think they'll be in hot water for other choices they make, they steer clear of those stupid choices.

     For the record, the hyper-sexualization of any race, nationality, or ethnicity is wrong. If GQ wanted to list the 100 hottest women of this (incomplete) millennium, it should have just listed 100 women straight through - not pulled some out based on their "look."

      

And we read in the gospel of Vogue that we're all supposed to dress and move and be visions of perfection, such a misconception, 'cause the real connection is deeper than the eye can see. What's inside of you? What's inside of me? The hands that made the moon and stars, the mountains and the seas, made you wonderful, beautiful, marvelously. Let the whole world see your true beauty. (True Beauty, Mandisa)

PS. Can you say airbrush?! I mean I know it's winter and everything but ...Beyonce is not that white ... ever. They whitewashed her like woah.

Ummm ... Hi There.

     Guess you all have to make NYE plans now ... 

     Good thing I planned ahead. TEXASSSSS, here I come. Figured if the world didn't end, I'd celebrate down South.

Body rock. Girl, I can feel your body rock. Take a bow, you're on the hottest ticket now. We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight. I wanna show you all the finer things in life. So just forget about the world, we young tonight. I'm coming for 'ya. I'm coming for 'ya. (Beauty and a Beat, Justin Bieber ft. Nicki Minaj)

Goodbye, Sweet World

     I'd just like to take a moment and thank all of you for taking an interest in my blog these past two years ... and taking the time out to read my sometimes rambling, sometimes inane, sometimes brilliant thoughts on life, love, and the like ... Because come tomorrow, December 21st ... we will apparently all be dead and gone.
     If the Mayans say so ... It must be true.
     Even though, apparently some Mayan priest has recently said it's not true ... But, whatever, I'm gonna go with the consensus here.

     If you do plan on trying to survive the apocalypse, I leave you with this advice.

    If not, so long, farewell, and thank you.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night. I hate to go and leave this pretty sight. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu. Adieu, adieu to you and you and you. (So Long, Farewell, The von Trapp Children)

Racist: Time After Time

     Graduates of the St. Martinville, La. Senior High School Class of 1973 have proven themselves no better than their previous alumni.

     While they had decided that after 40 years of having segregated class reunions, this would be the year to change it all ... invitees received a letter announcing that there would be a whites-only after party at one of the classmate's homes.

     According to an ABC News article, while this was the original plan, after some hard soul-searching (::sarcasm added::), the organizers decided that having an event for "white graduates only" was not what they were going to do. She stated that the old plans were sent out prematurely. 

     Yeah, I bet they were sent out prematurely. Just own up to it - 40 years later, your classmates, and maybe even you, are still a bunch of thickheaded racists, whose reunion would end up looking quite like Romy and Michelle's. 

     (No, really. Did anyone else wonder if they had more than maybe two or three non-white classmates at their reunion?)

Don't you forget about me. I'll be alone, dancing. You know it, baby. Going to take you apart. I'll put us back together at heart, baby. Don't you forget about me. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't you forget about me. [Don't You (Forget About Me), Simple Minds]
