Hey America - Use your freedom next time.

I have been meaning to tell you all for a long time.

If you didn't vote in the election - YOU SUCK.

For real.

The final results for the US Presidential Election are in and

Yes, calm down - Hillary Clinton "won" the popular vote and lost the Electoral Vote.

Everyone keeps pointing out that she "won" by over a million votes.

Whoopie.

What I notice is that the US population, according to census.gov, is 325,202,861 at the time I looked and typed that...6:31 am Central, December 27, 2016.

Even if you overestimated and said half the people were not eligible to vote due to age or other reason that means that 162, 601,430.5 people could have/should have voted and 38,884.433.5 people did not vote. And that is WAY low of an estimate considering that (according to census.gov) only 11.34% of the population is under 18.

The closer estimate is 164,607,860 - or MORE PEOPLE THAN ACTUALLY VOTED IN THE ELECTION.

OMG.

THAT should be the news headline.

What is WRONG with people that they do not vote?  Do you see what power you had in your hands that you simply ignored?

If you are reading this and you didn't vote, be ashamed, learn how to vote and do it next time.

Happy New Year.

That is all.

#Clueless apparently

(So I wrote this awhile ago - why I didn't publish it? No clue. Enjoy!)

I have Pinterest, Twitter, Google+.

I am on Facebook, I have a blog, and I deleted my MySpace account.

I thought I was hip.  I mean I watch RHONY and WWHL!!!?!

Apparently I am #Clueless

I got a free two-month subscription to Sirius for my car and I have been listening to Radio Andy. This morning a show was on that I had not heard before where they are talking about what is going on in Social Media and they were reading tweets between three young "stars" Azealea Banks, Zayn Malik and Skai Jackson - who is actually the only one I had heard of because I have a ten-year-old girl.

Apparently Miss Banks likes to bully people and use racial slurs - Skai Jackson told her to chill out and a Twitter war ensued.  Long story short, the 14-year old Skai made the 20-something Azealea look like a bully AND an idiot.

All while not using profanity or any slurs.

#SHADECLASSISINSESSION

And while I think it was cool she stood up for herself - it is amazing that there are grown people all over the internet and the airwaves who are getting PAID to "report" this stuff.

What does it say about our Trump-voting-Kardashian-watching-Duggar-praying-Gossip-having culture today that this was so easily Google-able and I got a MAGNITUDE of results outlining this Twitter feud?

Yes, I have Pinterest, Twitter, Google +, Facebook and a blog. I watch Bravo and have listened to Radio Andy. 

But, I don't think of gossip as news. 

I feel #clueless as to why people don't seem to know the difference.  

Worse.

A lot of people don't seem to care that there is a difference.

Hairy Issues

I dread the morning.

Not so much the morning itself. but the time we finally have to get dressed and ready.

The hair-raising hair brushing time.

My poor baby Boo boo La la got my fine follicles. The kind that tangle when a butterfly flits past.

I used to have to brush it. Now that she's older it is a job I leave in her own little hands. And there maybe are no more  breathless sobs, 'You're ki-ling--me-I-can-not-breathe-ah!' , but it still sucks.

She's tried countless brushes. sprays,detangling poos and rinses. None of them 'work' forever. She eventually stares into the mirror saying how she hates this or that.  And her hair.

She has beautiful hair.

This morning, it was the worst. She told me that people say that her hair feels fake (?) and that recently a lady had asked her if she '...ever brushed her hair.'

Could people be more rude?

Don't answer that.

I told her that she should ignore them. They are rude and CRAZY. But, I know that it can hurt.

Just like the brushing.
