A Statement on Chuck Norris

I start off by saying I was never really a fan of Chuck Norris.

His jokes never really cut it for me.

I never said so of course, not because I knew I would be ridiculed, because I simply didn't want to start a fight.

I'm not a very conflict loving person.

Anyways, I went on, not loving Chuck Norris while everyone else (it seemed anyways) flipped.

Today I happen across an article discussing the 'outrage of allowing gays into boy scouts'
The author of said article was credited to none other than Mr. Norris himself.

Now the website seemed legitimate, but none the less I went and brought up his wiki page to discover that he does indeed write. A quick jump to the sources and I discovered that he is indeed very much a conservative Christian.

Now I'm not saying you should shun Chuck Norris. I try to avoid that behavior. If I dislike something, say the song 'Baby' I'm not going to hate Bieber for it. I'm not going to insult him and I'm not going to laugh at jokes that do just that. I'm going to make up my mind and move on.

In the case of Chuck Norris, I feel he is a generally good man. I'm saddened to hear his way of thinking excludes LGBT and I still don't find his 'Facts' funny, but I don't hate him.

I just thought you'd all like to know.

This is an except from an article by Chuck Norris entitled Guns, God and gays

Lastly, I was appalled when I read the American Family Association report that on Friday, April 25, several thousand schools across the nation will be observing a “Day of Silence,” or DOS, which is a nationwide push to promote the homosexual lifestyle in public schools. (DOS is sponsored by an activist homosexual group – the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.)

Is encouraging or teaching about homosexuality what our forefathers expected for the public education they founded? Even the most liberal among them opposed it. For example, Thomas Jefferson drafted a bill concerning the criminal laws of Virginia, in which he proposed that the penalty for sexual deviance should be unique corporal punishment. Jefferson’s views were indeed representative of early America.

“Whosoever shall be guilty of rape, polygamy, or sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro’ the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least” (Bill 64, 1779). Can you imagine a statesman proposing such a law today?

While I’m not of course espousing such treatment, I do believe that we should equally and adamantly oppose such aberrant sexual behavior from being condoned or commemorated in our public schools through textbooks or a so-called “Day of Silence.”

You can check to see if your local schools are on the DOS observance list. Whether they are or not, write their administrators to inform them your family will be boycotting the event if it takes place in your vicinity.

That's all I have to say about Chuck Norris.

Also on a related note, I did partake in my school's Day of Silence

New Phone

This, as you may or may not of guessed, is a rant.

Okay, I got my new phone. The LG Xpression, or whatever.

Before I can talk about that though, I must go back.

Back to my old phone.

Here is what I use the phone for:
Contacting people when needed
Texting friends when bored
Using texts to send to twitter.

That's it. Sometimes I take pictures, not often, sometimes.

What are my requirements in a phone?
Full Keyboard
Unlimited Messaging

That's it. I just want to send my freaking tweets/texts.

I was horrified to see my options when I set about getting a new phone.

First off, all touch screen. This isn't the kind of phone you can drop all the time. It WILL crack and you WILL have to live with that.

Second, all web browsing. Great! I don't have a data plan!

Third, all trying to be a smartphone without being a smartphone.

As previously stated, I don't care what the hell it does. As long as I can contact people when I need to and tweet.

So I get my Xpression.

Touch screen, web features I can't use, fancy camera options...all that jazz.

The big feature of this phone is supposed to be texting.

The keyboard is fine I guess, conversations option is something new for me, super easy to add media to the text.

It passes with flying colors then right?

Wrong.

I send a tweet from my phone.

The biggest thing I use my phone for.

Later I look at the tweet online and it's been spilt in two.

I recommend skipping the next paragraph.

WHAT THE FREAK? WHY DID YOU DO THAT CAN I NOT SEND TWEETS? THAT IS WHY I'M OKAY WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ONLINE! IF I CAN SEND MY TWEETS IN ONE MESSAGE THEN I CAN USE THIS PHONE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I FRIKKEN USE MY PHONE FOR. I TWEET I TWEET OFTEN AND I TWEET WHEN I AM AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF I CAN RECEIVE TWEETS IF I CAN'T SEND THEM. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OTHER PRO IF I CAN NOT SEND A TWEET IN ONE MESSAGE.

Essentially it splits the message if it is over 67 characters.

Dude, 140 is limit enough. I don't need my phone holding my back as well.

I'm dead serious when I say if I don't find a way to fix this it's going straight back to the store.

BREAKING NEWS

This morning one of the chairmen of Thunderbird Productions was pronounced dead.

Mr. Numbers was the head of the Cellular Comunications Department at Thunderbird Productions. Co-workers and close friends recall him as fun loving, always connected with everyone, and a good party planner. The annoucement of his death however, did not come as a shock to many. In his last few days, he was said to have trouble taking charge and always seemed low on energy. This upcoming October would of been his fourth year as chairman.

He will always be remembered as the founder of the Cellular Comunications Department, one of the most widely used branches of Thunderbird Productions.

A replacement for Mr. Numbers is being sought out today. He will be missed dearly.



So yeah, my phone is dead. As in dead dead. As in 'I need a new phone' dead. DEAD.

It's a bummer, mostly because it was my first phone. Plus I've had it for almost four years...

Anyways, I'm going to get a new one today. I'll try to post later.

Who me?

Me? Crying?

No I just...uh...have a cold.
