Well, in a little over a week I will be back in my home town of Garden Grove, CA. Its been almost three years since I have been back home and unfortunately, last time I was there is was due to the passing of mi abuela [grandmother in spanish]. We miss you grandma and I will be visiting the grave site for you and grandpa while I am out there.
Well, enough of that depressing stuff! Its going to be a great trip. Leanne has never been through the Rockies and she is really looking forward to the drive. I on the other hand am not too thrilled of driving a thousand miles, but hey, at least I get company this time. The kids should enjoy the trip to, since there at least will be more to see then when we drove out here from KY. We drove through Missouri and Kansas. Hey look! More flat land! I don't know how Samantha will be on the trip though. Samantha is my dog and I don't know if she will truly appreciate the beauty of the drive like we will. Our last gas stop will be in or around Las Vegas and maybe I can win some money for the trip, but I am not holding my breath.
Though its going to be a budget trip, we already have lots of things planned, and if my old buddy that I worked with at Disneyland is able to pull through, me and Leanne will be taking a trip to Disneyland. The girls would not be coming with us, which is somewhat unfortunate. For one, I would not be able to afford the outrageously expensive admission prices for them and two, its a lot of walking and waiting in lines. For them being so young, I don't think that would be the best idea. Just a few hours in they will probably start getting tired and cranky. Thankfully my mother has agreed to watch them while us big kids go play at Disneyland.
Where I grew up is pretty close to Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, so when we can we will be taking a few trips to the beach as well.
There are of course the trips I will be taking to south county to meet up with friends and other family things that are going to happen out there, but other then that our schedule is pretty open. I hoping to have a great time out there, but I fear my trip will seem too quick and I will back to work before I knew I left.

People who cry racism the most are usually the most racist
OK, this blog is going to be a rant about racism. But not a rant you might think when it comes to racism. There might be curse words FYI.
OK, I am getting a little sick and fucking tired of all these people calling people racists when sometimes they make a racist remark in the same sentence! Seriously, how stupid is that? I know some of them are trolling, but I don't think think everyone is trolling when they say such things. How serious are do you think you are going to be taken when you say someone is racist and in the same comment, call them a racial slur?
A lot of times, people who are being called a racist didn't even make or hint towards racism in their comment. I getting a little tired of people perpetuating racism in the name of equality. These people are some of the biggest racists of them all.
I would also like to tell the media to stop media to stop stirring up the race issue. It first started with George Zimmerman being called a "white Hispanic" and the new story in Tulsa OK, where he is being called a "white Indian".
I miss the good old days when the news outlet just reported the news. Just said this is what we know and don't put a slant on it. I am not saying people are not entitled to what they believe, but if you are a news organization, don't put in your "spin".
Unfortunately, the news outlets are mainly pushing what sells and gets the most attention. Sometimes its hard to differentiate News outlet like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC to the National Inquirer or The Onion. Media outlets have become little more then gossip outlets. NBC even "doctored" the Zimmerman 911 tape.
Like mentioned in the second article, a lot of people like to call out a so called racist by making a racist remark while calling the other person racist. I don't get this mentality. Everyone is entitled their own opinion and able to speak their opinion. That is one of the things that make this country great. But when Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson go out about racism and start marches on the street, they never bring up anything that is not "white on black". I have never heard them speak out against racism with other races. I have not heard them say one work about the white kid who was burned with Gasoline by a few black kids. I never hear them speak about black on brown, brown on black Asian on white, ect. I don't hear them speaking against the New Black Panther Party, who is put a bounty on Zimmerman. I am not saying Zimmerman is innocent or guilty, but this vigilante Just already scared people out of their homes and if is not stopped is going to get innocent people killed. In my opinion the New Black Panther party are just as bad as the KKK. They are using hate and violence. Both I would consider domestic terrorism.
Too many times I see people hide behind the right to free speech. I am a firm believer in this right, I will stand up with the right to free speech for the Black Panther Party, the KKK and who every else says what they believe, as long as they do it in a non violent way. Though I completely disagree with both ideology, everyone has the right to speak out what they believe. I will not support it when entails citing violence.
Unfortunately, being a "white Hispanic" I am probably going to be deemed racist for this blog post.
