I have lots to say, but if you can read through this and offer advice I′d be much obliged!

I found this cute rocking lion thing at Thrift Town a couple months ago. Even though I’ve sworn in the past never to have children, I bought it anyway in the hopes that some day I might change my mind. In general, I don’t think babies or children (belonging to strangers) are cute, which makes me think there’s something horribly wrong with me. I love the idea of decorating a room for a baby, buying furniture, toys, clothes, etc., but not the idea of a baby itself. Ugh, that’s a terrible thing to say, isn’t it? My parents and in-laws are asking for grandchildren, and other people are saying I should just get pregnant now because afterwards I will learn to love the baby. Is that true?

my top 5 reasons for not having a baby:
1. Crying babies make me want to rip my ears off.
2. Public schools in our area totally suck.
3. I’m afraid he/she will grow up to become an alcoholic/drug addict/criminal. I know parents have some influence in this area, but you can’t control who your kid associates with at school.
4. I’m afraid he/she will be picked on mercilessly at school, become anti-social and withdrawn, then lash out in a violent explosion of anger.
5. I don′t want the baby to ruin my furniture. Saying this makes me cringe because I’m admitting to how shallow I am!

The weekend arrest of actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright during an incident at a Shreveport, Louisiana bar was captured on cell phone video, and it’s not good. The two were drinking at a wrap party for Oliver Stone’s W when they were asked to leave along with the film’s crew. At some point the owners called the cops which ended in several arrests. However, the details of the arrest have been revealed, and already the D.A. is considering not charging any of the actors. I wonder why? TMZ reports:

Local station KTBS reports and TMZ sources say Wright, who plays Colin Powell, was repeatedly tasered and pepper sprayed as he lay prone on his stomach in the street. We know witnesses heard the officers using extremely foul language, including the “N” word, directed at Wright.
Our sources say Brolin was observed by witnesses attempting to make peace and standing still as he was repeatedly sprayed in the eyes by cops.

Southern cops acting like racist assholes?! Hell’s bells, Margaret, I could never imagine such a thing. Some might say this is what happens when you film a liberal movie in a Red state, but, c’mon, like these cops know who Josh Brolin (particularly a bald Josh Brolin) or Jeffrey Wright is. This is a prime example of: “Hey, Cletus, let’s try out them thar TASERs. They works on electro tricity! Say, ain’t you that guy from the Goonies? I better pepper spray you just to be sure.” PFFSSHH. “Shucks! It is you! Do you mind if we lynch your colored friend? Shoots, I ain’t supposed to say that no more. I meants Afro-can American friend.”
