A..B..C..OOooo the pretty bird!

Well well well...Im back! I left this puppy alone for a hot sec but I am back and with some ammo...*loads gun* lets do this!

I went to six flags last week and it was off the hizzie!!! First our plan of attack was to get on X2...the hottest ride at six flags. Now I thought since we got there an hour after opening that the line was going to be at worse 1 hr....ha was I wrong. TWO AND A HALF FREAKIN HOURS!!! Was it worth it?? Hell yess!! Its weird how this puppy works but you do a 360 in your seat as the roller coaster does its own twists and turns..so its none stop action! Then to add to the fun it throws flames at you! I kid you not I was checking my hair a second later to make sure it did not catch on fire. The head rests put massage chairs to shame and you have music blasting in your ears to drown out your screaming. I give it 1.5 thumbs up! Link here to check it out: X2 Video and Details.
But you may think this is the ultimate ride in Six Flags....but no my friends! I must say Tatsu continues to blow my mind! I mean who doesn't like to be put on doggy style position without even trying?! Hell count me in! It may be slower than X2 but it is longer and it has more twists and turns. What is great about this ride is that it puts you soo close to trees and the ground that it makes you feel like you will crash into it. Now that is pure genius! Its all in the head buddy! Here is the link to check Tatsu out: Tatsu Video and Details. That whole day we got on : Superman, Batman, Riddler's Revenge, Raging Rapids, X2, Viper, Deja Vu, Goliath, Scream, Colossus, Dragon Swing, Tatsu, and two other water rides...much fun!

Okay now to a subject that matters.... two things I hate about California are the CHP and drivers with cellphones. If you do not know it is illegal in California to be on your cellphone while you are driving. You need a bluetooth or the hands free set that usually come with the cellphone. Why put this law if the state will not make money out of it?! $20 dollars for the first ticket?! What is that? Hell make them learn and up it up to $100!!! People should not be on their cellphones while driving because lets face it this is Southern California and we all suffer from road rage and deprivation of speed. 75 is the new 65. (65 is the speed limit for those who do not know) Now what irritates me the most is idiots on their cellphone who see a CHP (California Highway Patrol, also one of the most greedy assholes you can ever meet in California) and then brake for their life because not only are they speeding but they are also on the cellphone. Little do they realize that you are driving behind them and that only jeebuz knows how close you were to hitting them! They are too busy breaking and trying to save their asses that they forget about the others behind them. So if you drive in the freeway system of Southern California and all of a sudden you must stop there are 3 options of what has happened to make this sudden stop happen while a second ago you were sailing at 80 mph:
1. California Highway Patrol
2. Accident or car died in the middle of freeway
3. Freeway sweeper
4. Accident on the opposing side of the freeway (yeah I know did not say 4 but this was an instant inspiration)
So there you have it...tip of the day!

Okay last nag for this blog but I must address it! Our education system is going to hell!! But Jasmin don't be so harsh! The young are the future of tomorrow! Hell I hope I am dead when the young of today are our future! Why do I say that? I don't know if you know but I work at a school district and sometimes it is my job to compile answers from surveys done by our students. Now I was skimming through some surveys to see what the kids put. I picked up the surveys of a 6th grade class (approx 11 yr olds) and one of them spelled squash like this: Sqwash. Okay fine the kid was not sure and he spelled it how it sounded. I let it go. Next survey the kid spelled Squash: Sqrash and spelled carrot: Carratoes. WHAT THE HECK?! It did not stop there! Kids kept misspelling fruits and veggies left and right! I cannot begin to tell you all the errors I saw and some spellings were not even close!!! Are these issues not addressed in 1st and second grade? It sure was when I went to school and I was in elementary approx 6 yrs ago!!! Yeah I am that young. But I am truly concerned. I feel bad for my children and this whole child left behind is screwing with the education system. Front page of the LA times "1 in every 4 teenagers in California drop out of high school- 1 in every 3 in LA County." What does this tell you? It tells me that this generation is very fucked up! Simple as that...

Im done... ;) stay supah sexi my peeps!!!

Look at ya bringing it again. :) I'm definitely with ya on the cell phone drivers. I didn't know it was law out there. I see it all the time here in my little area and just want to bash them int he face, hah. 70mph speed limit in the mean streets in WV.

Too funny with the spelling problems. I see that a ton too, but then again, the kids I teach are low level and behavior problems anyways, so it's expected I guess. I see tons of adults who can't even spell, it's sad. 4-time Spelling Bee champ here, fear that. And repped my county in the 4th Grade as one of the youngest ones, going against 8th Graders, not too shabby. :)
