Youtube & some complaining.
posted on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 @ 2:57 PM
I'm always a little late in getting wind of the viral videos that are online for some reason, but today these came to my attention and I felt the need to share. I'm debating making this into a weekly post, but then I thought that I'm kind of out of the loop when it comes to online fads, so maybe not.
The first one is from Australia, and shows a victim of bullying getting his revenge.
This hit news in Autralia and went viral on the internet. The bully got suspended for 21 days, and the victim got suspended for 4 days, and has become an internet sensation and hero. It's definitely a shocking video to watch, it's hard to watch a little kid get body slammed, but at the same time, it's nice to see a bully get his just-desserts for once. Both boys were interviewed for stories over there, and the bigger boy, Casey I believe is his name, seems to be quiet and well mannered. He says he has been a victim of bullying for many years, and said he tried to not fight, but finally just snapped. I have to say I don't blame him, it's got to be hard to get punched in the face twice and laughed at by some little twerp and his friends. The smaller boy, Ritchard, said that Casey bullied him first, although that is obviously not the case on the video (why lie when there is video proof?) and that's why he punched him. But it seems to be that it's quite obvious by what is said, and done, that the bully was just being a jerk. He starts off by saying "I hear you've been talking shit" and the other boy answers "I haven't been talking shit." Then the smaller boy punches him, twice, and dances around him like a ballerina street fighter, when in reality, if he was that small, and the victim, would have probably run his ass off if he had the chance.
The second video is about a girl from UCLA who decided to use youtube to rant about her dislike of the Asians in her school.
Alexandra Wallace ended up either getting expelled, or left UCLA for her safety (she got death threats), I'm not sure which. She issued a public apology, but i doubt she's going to find any jobs in her near future considering when you google her name "Racist white bitch from UCLA" comes up.
Now, granted, it IS rude to talk on your phone in the library. But considering that she attempts to make a joke about how they are all trying to get in touch with their families in Japan, it makes their faux pas seem minuscule in comparison to hers. Not to mention it's pretty hilarious that she talks about good American manners while she continues to be a complete jerk, and makes me remember why other countries hate Americans so much.

I really want to try to relax and read today. My throat has been sore the last couple of days, I've been pmsing for a week now, and I think I'm either getting sick of suffering from allergies. I've been really stressed out and moody for a while now and I just need some time to relax and not have to deal with anything, or anyone. Today is one of those days where I wish I could a bubble to just cuddle up in to be by myself. I love Paul and everything, but sometimes I feel like I have to entertain him, and there are times when I just can't handle his "I'm in a good mood so I'm going to bicker with you for no reason" sense of humor. He thinks he's funny, but when I'm in a bad mood like this, he's really, really not. Luckily, right now he's gone to get me a coffee from Dunkin' Donuts, so it kind of makes up for him being obnoxious.
I really don't think that he understands, even though he does try to, that I'm tired constantly, and that my skin aches and my muscles ache and my head aches on an almost daily basis. Little tasks seem to sap all my energy, and it takes me a long time to unwind and relax from stress. It takes me a long time to rebound from work or any event. My symptoms are very similar to Fibromyalgia, although I guess depression could also be a cause for it... or a symptom of it. After going to that show I had huge bruises that didn't really match the amount of physical activity I encountered that night, and aches and pains for a week. I really want to go to a doctor to see if there is a possibility in my having this, because it would explain a lot, my chest pains, problems breathing, skin aches, head aches, muscle aches, fatigue, heart palpitations, stress, sensitivity to rain and cold, my memory problems, why I have loss of appetite so often, etc. If my life were a checklist, all the symptoms of FMS would be checked off daily.
It's just a hypothesis. But I've been suffering from these symptoms my entire life, and I really just want an answer for why. There's no reason someone my age should feel this way.
So, that is my excuse for not doing a damn thing today except read and relax and possibly shower with my new shampoo and conditioner that invigorates my scalp. Mmm.
