M.J's personal blog

I arrived here at long last. I must love Cali a lot to go through those long hours and the time change but we all know how much I love California! It was very painless and already had my fave fast food, Del taco, got some mountain dew and cheesits so all set to go. Parties are being planned and I have a cell phone. I absolutely love being here and feel so at home as though I’ve never left.

Just sitting in Katie’s truck with her and Marissa yesterday felt as though I’d never really been away, like they were picking me up to go over for dinner or something. I feel great and content. The sun is shining, it’s not too hot but it’s home and I ate breakfast at Ihop and am now chilling before we get ready to party tonight.

Do I miss England? Nope! not one bit. Bailey, of course but everyone knows he’s the only reason I’m only staying a month.

LA rocks!
So Cal Rules. Nothing more needs to be said.

THE BNP, BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY OR BRITISH NAZI PARTY?

Last night’s question time provoked a lot of debate over the British National party but how much of what was actually said is true and just and can we, the British public really believe the British National party wants to protect “everything British?”

first of all, we have to identify what is considered “British”. I would conceive for everyone this concept is different and unique. To me, Britain is a “free country” where anyone is welcome as long as they contribute positively to Britain in one way or another. It’s a place where you can walk down the street and see someone from any of the populated continents. It’s a place where you can sit in a bar or restaurant where people from all walks of life enjoy different cuisines and cultures and a place where all of those cultures can be celebrated openly. It’s a country that gives opportunity to its residents to move and trade within the European union freely and in return allow other Europeans to come and experience our country.

I agree our government is extremely able of making mistakes and with some of the immigration laws they have done so to an extreme. They are attempting to solve this but by capping immigration in the way Nick Gryffin sees fit is not a solution as far as I’m concerned. If you cap immigration, then you should also be capping population production.

Instead of attacking the “foreign workers” and making them the ultimate scape goat for a lot of the problems, I think we need to look at our own culture and the system first. The government has a lot to answer to with the amount of people out of long term work and claiming benefits. And as an audience member pointed out to the leader of the British national party last night, there are “foreign workers” who do the labouring jobs that what Nick Griffin perceives as the “indigenous people” of Britain are unwilling to do. How many of those on Job Seeker’s allowance go to the job centre every two weeks and refuse to take a cleaning job because it is seemingly beneath them? How many of those people continue to bleed this country dry, adding to an ever growing deficit because they believe the world should be handed to them on a plate? Nick Griffin needs to take a good look at his so called “indigenous people” before attacking the “foreign workers” that are maintaining the back bone of this country!

Defending people like a member of the Kluklux Klan is sick and depraved, claiming they were not a “violent” organization. Doesn’t Nick Griffin realise how many blacks were tortured and shamed because of the color of their skin? Not to mention murdered for it too? Is he that dim of a person that the facts of history do not speak for themselves? And to deny the holocaust even happened is completely ludicrous to most of us and damn right insulting to the jews, disabled and anyone who did not fit in with the Nazi regime. By claiming Islam is an evil religion and considering the fact Mr griffin denies that Hitler ordered six million Jews to be murdered, experimented on and almost wiped out, to have “gone a little too far”, defending an organization who burnt blacks, hung them from trees, raped the women and tortured children because of the colour of their skin to be a “non violent” organization just makes you think if Hitler only went a little too far, how far would Mr Griffin go to clean up the “multiracial hell hole” he described our country as?

Doesn’t he also realize our Monarchy are not “indigenous”, so is he going to pay them off too? On the BNP’s website there are grants being offered to immigrants to leave the country. Now, coercion into making people leave is not racist? Just because you changed the wording slightly, does not mean you changed your beliefs. You still think mixed marriages are wrong, Islam has no place in Britain and we should deport anyone who is not “indigenous?”

Mr Griffin openly said he’d put across the “moderate” ideas first and then tackle his real policies. So by giving the BNP power, those who voted for them have condemned this country to a population of very few. How many of us can trace our family trees back to the so called “indigenous” British? I know very few who can. This country was built and fought for by people of all races, religions, and beliefs. And the mere terminology of “indigenous” is ridiculous considering the many settlements Britain has seen over the past seventeen thousand years.

Mr Griffin needs to re-educate himself and start all over again. The British National Party is nothing but a bunch of racists who are so misguided on the concepts of what is British, they probably think curry is a “British” dish. They are the ones who visit Benadorm each year thanks to our EU membership and drink carlsberg lager thanks to our free trade policies. Let’s hope, the people of Britain saw exactly what the BNP stood for last night, discrimination, racism, homophobism, anti-Islam and a bunch of completely ill informed idiots that have been brain washed by the likes of Griffin and others. Pick up a book because the BNP will fill your heads with garbage and stifle this country’s growth. They promote racism and unless you can trace your family history back to at least five generations of the meaningless notion of “indigenous English”, you will be shipped out as quickly as the rest of us. Hey, if Nick gets his way, slavery may even come back.

Protecting Britain or doing what Hitler did? Your choice but I for one will never live in this country under a BNP government.

WHO IS TO BLAME THE ABUSED OR THE ABUSER?

Domestic violence in my book is never OK regardless of whom is dishing it out. But when it comes to it, who is to blame? The person hitting or the person receiving? Or a bit of both?

according to the home office, two women a week die as a result of domestic violence. We all know that men suffer as a result of violent women but the statistics are very sketchy as either men don’t report the abuse due to fear or no one in authority takes it seriously. Our views on men in our society effects how we perceive the potential circumstances they may find themselves in. Most police officers would find it difficult to believe a man has been beaten up by a woman but it is always possible and often happens more than we as a society permit ourselves to believe.

So with the figures being relatively high, who do we place the blame on? The abuser or the abused? Many people stay in the situation because they believe it will “get better” or that “he/she didn’t mean it” and the abuser is constantly apologizing, pledging to “never do it again”. And sadly it does continue to happen. The physical abuse however is not the worst part. It’s the mental abuse that goes along with it.

As a former psychology student I can partly predict how this works. The abuser finds someone who is already relatively vulnerable and moves on in, so to speak. Then at the point where the abused feels worthless and like they have no place left to go and as though no one else will ever “love” or “want” them the abuser then begins the physical abuse, maintaining the mental state of the abused. Telling the abused they don’t want them but they won’t find anyone else is a common way of “controlling” the abused and maintaining their control over them. And as soon as the abused attempts to stray from the control they are quickly brought back under with a rampage of physical abuse and mental reinforcement.

So if the abused breaks free from it and then returns, can we truly feel sorry for them? Most people would but I am of the high belief that we are only responsible for our own actions and if you manage to leave that terrible situation and then return, knowing what will happen, even falling under the brain washing, then yes, you are to blame along with the abuser.

Naturally, when a person enters a relationship and they are abused, they are not to blame. Not many of us are gifted with seeing into the future and how could we possibly know that someone we love is going to abuse us so disgustingly. But when you “choose” to return because of your so called “love” for that person and because they’ve fed you a line or two on how it “won’t happen again”, they’re “sorry” and they “love you” then at that point you have chosen to return to a potentially fatal situation. The scariest thing is that these people often produce offspring together and the child is often used as a “binder”

And as much as I believe the abused holds some responsibility after a certain point, abusers are sick, worthless pieces of scum who don’t deserve to share the air with the rest of civilization. No one on this earth deserves to be abused by someone they “love” or “care for”. And no matter how “annoying”, “lazy” a person is, it does not give another human being the right to physically or mentally abuse another. It’s one thing violence has to exist in this world but for it to exist in the home, a supposed place of sanctuary is where the line has to be drawn.

abusers should be sent to an island some place to fend for themselves and be exposed to a lion or some killer beast. You’ll think twice about abusing them. In my opinion, lock the lot of them up and throw away the key, they are more of a menace to society than most people. And you know why? Because they prey on their victims!

Every year British guide dogs have an entire week devoted to events to raise money, raise awareness and show appreciation for volunteers, staff, clients and the four legged lovies themselves.

This year is no different. Guide dog week started October Third and ends October 10th. Look out for events in your local area and take a moment to appreciate and maybe contribute to the work guide dog association does for visually impaired people all across the UK.

Happy guide dog week from me and Bailey.

UNLESS YOU GIVE BIRTH YOU ARE NOT WORTHY IN TODAY’S SOCIETY

With Britain’s younger mothers becoming more prominent on the streets of our cities and towns, pushing their push chairs very proudly, shopping to their hearts content while regular tax payers contribute to their forever growing offspring, and the attitudes that coincide with this new trend does rather make one question how worthy those of us who do not have children in our twenties and thirties really are to society?

True that our “stay at home mums” would not have a leg to stand on without the twenty/thirty/forty year olds who have focused on their careers and contribute steadily to Britain’s pot of money that provides these baby machines with their chosen life styles. But the government’s approach to the girls that see fit to get “knocked up” during their teenage years and not progress to a worthy career or even a steady job is not what concerns me as much as the attitudes that society have to those of us who have chosen to “better” ourselves and the sheer disgust placed upon us to have the Goddamned right not to want children.

Not only do these girls patrol the streets, running down old people, crashing into wheel chairs and knocking over service dogs, but then they look at their victims as though it was their fault. They get on public transport, not bothering to take their child from the push-chair and fold it up so elderly people and disabled people can sit at the designated seats at the front of the bus, and then grumble when asked to move their push-chair. Then there’s always allowing their children to run around the supermarket or mall when they are old enough to walk, screaming and causing a basic nuisance of themselves without ever being reprimanded by the lazy parents who look on with such pride.

So this behavior seems to apparently be acceptable by society and what’s worse, is that those of us who don’t coo and cuddle society’s offspring are deemed cold and what’s worse, often invisible.

You can be having an adult conversation with someone and then all of a sudden, someone shows up with a baby and your conversation is abruptly interrupted and over while they coo and goggle at the infant. And don’t ever try to strike up a conversation with anyone when they are near a baby, you will be shot down with, “aren’t you so beautiful? O what a lovely smile. You are so cute, o yes you are!” Sense does not seem to exist around those who have children or want children, all they know is stupid baby sounds and are seemingly incapable of constructing a sentence let alone upholding a decent conversation.

Nothing those of us who are childless holds any clout. We may as well say nothing for the result we get, nothing. We may as well be pointing out the weather for as much good as it will do us. If there’s a child within the vicinity, then you have no option with expressing your views. But if a mother of a child speaks up, then everyone must listen and adhere to her oh so “wise?” words. And don’t you DARE question them, no matter how ridiculous their point of view or plan is. That is a severe offense.

Another thing to note, it is not wise to make any sound or move anything or change the channel on the TV set in case it “upsets” the baby. So all you have ever done must now revolve around a child that isn’t even yours. Crazy how society wants even those of us who don’t have children to love and want them around us all of the time and make the same sacrifices as those who have children by choice.

In conclusion, those of us who choose a life away from offspring are deemed cold, crazy and selfish. Hmm, I know which I’d rather be? there’s more to life than children.
