RACISM

Its time for a new focus. So today/tonight, I shall talk about racism.

When most people hear the word racist, they immediately think of the black Americans, the Asians, or whatever race is native to their country. Many people believe racism is one sided, that it is always the white people doing the others wrong. And a lot of the time, it is. The whites in America keeping the Negroes as slaves, and trying to get rid of all the Indians. The British trying to wipe out the Australian Aborigine's. The Mongols, under Genghis Khans rule, tried to take over China, Russia, Persia and more.

And of course, and the world is just so completely and utterly fair, the mistreated races have been given more money and help then anyone else. I mean, is it really fair for aborigine's, or people 1/32 Australian Aborigine, to get extra welfare and benefits for something that happened decades ago? Sure, our ancestors made a mistake. But why should we keep having to pay the price for it here, now? I mean, not all of them are poor. I know some white people who earn less and are worse off, and they don't get the same benefits.

And of course, there is always soooo many people complaing about how Hitler was very racist to the Jewish people. Now, may I ask you a question? Racism is defined as

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

While to be Jewish is
1. Of or relating to the Jews or their culture or religion

So, if that is the case, how can being cruel to the Jews be racist? Being Jewish is a religion, not a race. They need to invent a new word. Like Religist. Or Denominist. If you can think of a better word, please tell me.

(This blog is in no way meant to be racist towards any race OR religion. I am simply stating my view as I see fit. Please feel free to comment)

Until next time. . .

HELL

Hell. Such an interesting word. A place, as mentioned in the bible. A swear word, common in today's society. Here are a few different things relating to hell.

Anarchy in heaven, especially in hada, the lowest heaven, where angels torment one another. When an earthly tyrant dies, evil spirits seize his newborn spirit for vengeance's sake, and cast him into hell.

Hell
1. A place where you get poked with pitchforks by red men with horns and goatlegs and listen to the Village People sing for the rest of eternity.

Satan: Welcome to Hell, sinner! *pokes victim*
*man screams*
Out of nowhere: In the Navy...

Hell is, according to many religious beliefs, a place or a state of painful suffering. The English word 'hell' comes from the Teutonic 'Hel', which originally meant "to cover" and later referred to the goddess of the Norse underworld, Helgardh. Compare Anglo-Saxon helan and Latin celare = "to hide".

Now that you understand what hell is, I think it is time you all did some serious thinking. Is hell real? Or is it just a made up concept by churches to scare people into doing the things they want? Can just people go to there? Why would they go there? Is hell really a dungeon like area filled with flames, red demons and pitchforks? Or is it something more complex?

Until next time. . .

THE GREEN MILE

For those of you who have ever seen the movie, or read the book, The Green Mile, you will know what a sad story and concept of life it is. For those of you who have unfortunately not seen nor read the story, here is a quick run down.

The story is from Boss Paul Edgecombe's point of view, a sad story about the miracle he saw during his job on the E Block, otherwise known as the Green Mile, the place where all those sentenced to death by electric chair are placed. Throughout the book, told as though Boss Edgecombe really was indeed writing from his nursing home at the age of 104, the miracles of the Negro John Coffey, like the drink only spelt differently, are thoroughly discussed, and the pain and hurt which continually ravages this world is truly discovered. How hard it must have been to have to kill someone, someone who is truly God's gift to the world, who can heal the sick and them near death, and who is definitely innocent and wrongly convicted.

"He kill them with they love. They love for each other. You see how it was? That's how it is every day, all over the worl'. That darkness and pain, that doesn't go away."

Anyone who has thinks they have the guts to see a movie, or read a book with so much gore, blood and open frankness, and a deep and meaningful concept, not to mention spellbinding and openly confronting of your beliefs towards religion, justice and humanity, then you should really try to read The Green Mile, by Stephen King.

And to end this rather depressing blog, I have picked yet another quote from the Green Mile. This part of the story is when John Coffey, sounds like the drink only spelt different, is telling Boss Edgecombe in his intelligent, yet not educated Southern drawl not to worry, that he will be glad not to be living for too much longer.

"I know you been worryin, but you ought to quit on it now. Because I want to go, boss. I'm rightly tired of the pain I hear and feel, boss. I'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. Not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. I'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. It feels like pieces of glass in my head. I'm tired of all the times I've wanted to help and couldn't. I'm tired of bein in the dark. Mostly it's the pain. There's too much. If I could end it, I would. But I can't.

Until next time. . .

CONTEST


Well, it has been another enjoyable weekend day........ What sort of crap am I saying, weekends suck! But then again, so does the rest of the week so there is no point in wishing for either to hurry up and come sooner.


Now, because I have nothing better to do, I shall try to convince you to join this stupid little game that I play, called Powerpets. Virtually like neopets (only better), this game is the only thing I have left to do on the computer when I sit up talking to people on MSN all night. Suprisingly, the game is rather fun to play, and has lots of interesting things to do, not to mention all the randoms you get to talk to. So, if I have managed to convince you to join click here -----> http://www.powerpets.com/signup1.asp?step=1

Anyway, the most important thing about this post is to inform you all of a wonderful new movie coming out hopefully sometime next year. Based on a book by one of Australia's most famous young authors Matthew Reilly, Contest is a fictitious story about Stephen Swain, a Doctor, who is transported into an old library, where he is informed he is to engage in a fight against aliens of 6 other races, in a survival of the fittest. This fight, a contest, is one that happens only every 2000 years, each time on a different planet. The library/arena where it is held has been surrounded by a forcefield, and the only way out is to win. To make matters worse, the doctor's only daughter, Holly, was also accidently transported into the arena. To make sure he daughter is safe, the only thing the poor doctor can do is fight. . .

This is must see movie people! When it comes out you are not allowed to miss it! For more information on the movie, including pictures, please feel free to view Matthew Reilly's website http://www.matthewreilly.com/high/thedeskof/desk_aug05.htm

So remember, movies made from books are good, but the books are always better.

Until next time. . .

BLOGGING


BLOG:

noun

Short for weblog. A meandering, blatantly uninteresting online diary that gives the author the illusion that people are interested in their stupid, pathetic life. Consists of such riveting entries as "homework sucks" and "I slept until noon today."

(Thanks must be given to http://www.urbandictionary.com for their truly wonderful, dry, sarcastic, yet humorous dictionary definitions)

There you are Ashamaley, I hope that sorts out you problem with not understanding the term blog. (no, just because you got mentioned does not mean that you are special in anyway)

Now, another one, just for you.

IRONIC:
1. A situation where the result is a complete reverse (and practical mockery) of what was expected

2. A word heavy misused and abused in conversation today, mostly by people who think that using the word in any way will automatically make them seem intelligent. The word is usually misused to exactly mean "coincidental" or "tragic", when again it doesn't mean this (see #1)

If the heavy metal band Anthrax dies of anthrax, that would be poetically tragic, but not ironic. If a diabetic crosses the street and is run over by a truck carrying insulin, then it's ironic.

"Isn't it ironic that the pop song 'Ironic' contains absolutely no examples of irony?"

"One issue of Mad Magazine showed Alfred E. Neuman face-down in the desert, crushed to death by a parachuted crate of first aid supplies. Now THAT was ironic!

Well, today I decided to help improve my ballet technique by joining the Level 7 class. Much to my dismay however, I was put at the front of the class, and made to demonstrate various simple moves not yet taught to such a level. BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE!

On a better note my dance concert is coming up soon, on the 10th and the 11th of December, and all my dances are really cool. This year the whole ballet school has the same theme, which just happens to be Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. For jazz, I am a mad hatter in the Mad Hatter's Tea Party! WHOOHOO! For contemporary I am a player in the great croquet game. And for ballet, myself and my team of 3 other wonderful, young, sexy dancers are the four famous butterfly's (We get massive wings and feelers and everything!)

As it is getting late I had better go to bed, tune in soon for another amazing blog

Until next time. . .

WELCOME


Well, here is my first post, and what a non-eventful one it shall be. I guess I have to start this blog with an explanation of its name, Floating Angel Paradise. Quite simply, floating angels are people who live on earth, but are in fact not people, but angels. Floating angels can be found everywhere, but are mainly found in slums, back alleys, hospitals and shelters, helping the poor, the weak and the unfortunate. They talk to people when they are down, give them solutions to their problems, and generally help people in anyway possible.

However, they are also the ones who do the dirty work of the world. They are the ones who mysteriously kill that 30 year old man down the street, the one who has been arrested 8 times for rape and each time let off because he has a friend in the police force. They are the ones that deal out right from wrong and wrong from right. They are the ones that decided whether things are unfair or not.

Floating angels are different from us. They do not judge, they do not hurt for no reason, and they are there when you need them most. They do not look like anyone in particular, however they are not of any distinguishable sex, nor do they have a precise age, or have any outstanding features.

Do not take this post in the wrong way. I am not some sort of religious freak with random ideas to begin a cult. I am simple a person who will take advantage of this blog to express my ideas, opinions and frightful stories of this sick sad world.

Until next time. . .
