I don't give a crap about...people who don't get fattitude

They call it “Fattitude” and its about being accepting of people who are not skinny so overweight or fat or just whatever. The term might be new but the whole idea is not.

My grip today comes from people who say that anyone who isn’t the ideal weight are not healthy and that those who are not idea weight shouldn’t be OKAY with it. And this annoys me EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

Put yourself in our shoes for a second. You might have something you hate but cant do much about it. So is it better to keep hating yourself and all you are because of a flaw or is it better to accept who you are and just live your life? Of course you shouldn’t be hating yourself all the time like I do. You should NOT do this its not good. While some Christians don’t believe in self esteem I do highly. My sucks but I believe in it and I have always.

I would LOVE to lose weight and be more ideal not so I can get a boyfriend or get married or anything but because of course I want to be healthy. I just don’t know how to lose that much weight that fast. I workout nearly daily and I have cut back but I have never done a diet I don’t think diets work. So if I want to learn to love myself while I am this way so be it. LEAVE US ALONE!

I get SO sick of people who think that because we are trying to be okay with who we are means we don’t want to be healthy. And there are some people who aren’t skinny and are perfectly healthy. I believe its true. Ideal weight isn’t always what you think it is.

The worst part is the world we STILL live in not only are we not allowed to want to be okay with who we are. But people who aren’t skinny aren’t featured much in tv shows or movies. And saying things about being fat are a joke and made fun of. I know recently people tried to stop using terms like “retard” and “gay” wrong. So why not “fat” why is it okay to make fun of a real issue with some people and not show that well it’s a fact not everyone is skinny? Its hard to shop this way its hard to live this way. And if I ever have kids I want them to know if they are not skinny it is okay. But in our world its not.

Society needs to deal with this. Not only are there no average and ideal weights that used to be. But being a little over weight isn’t that bad. And if we want to stop feeling bad about ourselves it shouldn’t be a crime. I am far from those people who make fun of others who are a certain way but that’s not the case for everyone.

So the next time someone makes fun of someone that is not skinny I should just scream fattitude at them and run away. Because honestly until we as a society let those who aren’t the ideal way you think they should be, be okay with it we will continue to deal with stereotypes which shouldn’t be allowed for anything about a person. Its cruel its not right it needs to stop YESTERDAY!

FROZEN... can we just let this movie go please?!

Have you seen the movie Frozen? Well if you haven’t then you are like me in the less than majority. It’s like the best movie ever. But it doesn’t interest me. I am unsure if I will ever see the movie. If I do maybe in a few years when its on tv for free or something I will consider it.

Last year when I saw previews for the film I thought it looked good. In general I thought it would be fun to go see a movie like this. A cute movie about a snowman and sisters. I got what it was about sort of but didn’t fully understand it. Due to not having a job I didn’t see it in theaters. But right after it came out EVERYONE was seeing it. It was thee BIG thing on social media. It got to the point that every person on facebook but me had seen it not once or twice but several times. The movie was barely out but already popular. I thought it would die down eventually they all do.

But when 2014 came and the movie wasn’t going away. Winning awards and Oscars and such I began to wonder and get annoyed about a film I had never seen. So I read the reviews recently online and while most give it stars lots of them. There have been several bad reviews. It’s a musical, with a messed up no point plot, makes no sense, etc.

Which made me want to watch it less. A musical? Disney? I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s with some great films. Like wonderful films that I loved to pieces and still do. My favorite being The Lion King which ironic came out 20 years ago. Back then that was considered a master piece musical. It went to broadway as a show, etc. I fell in love with Pumba and Timon. My love of real life meerkats came from Timon. I would consider that a great film.

The weirdest part is so many people are saying that this film is like the best Disney movie EVER. “Of all time” is a line I have heard a lot. Like too much. Enough to annoy me. Again. And the songs. I have never seen the film but have heard the songs. They are horrible. They get under your skin and get stuck in your head. Especially Let it Go although I have heard now two others “For the First Time in Forever” and the Love Open Door one (done as a cover through a singer friend). Yeah about that…

Maybe if I was alone. Maybe if I was the only one in the world to hate this film so much it would be like only me. But the fact that I am not alone. The fact that several others hate it too. That proves this film isn’t all its cracked up to be. And dear gad they might make a second one. Excuse me while I pull out all my hairs thinking about it.

In theme of that stupid song can we just now let it go? Please? Yes I know you might not agree with me. But since the point of this blog is to say my thoughts on something I will say it true. I hate Frozen. I hate it. And guess what. I don’t give a crap if you love it I just don’t and may never ever for real!

Unemployment money ends on December 28th 2013

Today is December 28th 2013 and this is the last day that anyone with unemployment can get paid. The government did not choose to extend this to the new year like they usually do. For the first time ever this is affecting me.

I don’t give a crap about those people who are really mean about this. The people who say the following really are the ones that drive me crazy:

1. Claim there are jobs out there you just have to apply.

2. Get a job then don’t depend on the government for ue only its not supposed to be your only income.

3. You are lazy for not getting a job and just living off ue you deserve this.

4. Take a minimum wage job part time just to make ends meet.

5. Get a job in fast food they are always hiring.

6. I got a job why cant you get a job its not that hard just don’t look for high end jobs.

7. You’d rather sit at home on the internet all day then getting a job.

8. It’s coming out of the paychecks of everyone else to pay for you to sit at home doing nothing.

First of all these are all very upsetting to anyone. Its so easy to judge when you are not in the same position and good luck to you if you EVER have to deal with ue or have someone close to you doing it and it affects you too. Good luck to you.

We can pray that congress is smart and on the 6th when they come back they pass something. For me I am now up in the air. My claim expires the 4th but I had 1.5checks left in this extension and could get another extension. I don’t know how this works. I am now debating if it would hurt to wait till the 6th to see what happens. I think they shouldn’t make us wait. 1.3million people are depending on UE all the time.

Lets start with those numbers up there I pulled those off some comments on a few articles about what is going on.

1. Sure there are jobs out there and you can apply all you want. But that doesn’t mean you are going to get an interview little alone the job. For example I tried for a job at a brand new Petsmart and they said for their small amount of people they hiring (they might hire more in coming weeks as they are now open) they got 300 people applying. IMAGINE that! I apply to about 5 jobs per week or 10 per two. I get an interview for every 10-15 job apps. Most I never hear back from and if I check back I find the positions have been filled. I want to add that during this past holiday season I heard on the new retailers hired LESS than last year. This didn’t help the situation at all for any of us trying for these.

2. First of all I know that UE is temporary and before you go and say well not everyone knows this of course they do. I do not get anywhere near what I used to get when I worked a real part time job. Its way below. I’m unsure how they figured this out but I am still grateful for this temporary situation. I have had a crap time this year trying for any job and I hate being on UE all the issues I have dealt with all year. Its not all fun on this end thanks.

3. I am lazy? Right. I deserve this? Right. Wait what? First of all being unemployment isn’t that much fun. Spending hours of the day EACH day applying for jobs more than likely wont get a shot at. Calling those back. Interviewing sometimes. And then still not coming away from a job. This is not lazy. And its undeserved. Sure its life its how the world is but don’t you dare say this is lazy! And I deserve this!

4. I am grateful while I do have stuff I need $$ for I don’t just like spend it on anything that I don’t have a car to pay for, rent, etc. And btw its rare for me to even think of applying for a job that isn’t part time minimum wage. I have lived off mw my whole life. The most I ever got a job for working there was $8.50 to start with or $8.25 after several raises. I would take anything at this point. Seriously ANYTHING.

5. Fast food jobs aren’t what they used to be. First of all fast food like most places even on the bottom they want you to have experience. I know from people working for places like Taco Bell and Chick-fla that they want you to have done this before. Lame? Sure. This was an easy job for kids when I was a teen 16 and get a fast food job. Today you need to be 18 and have done this before. Not everyone is cut out for fast food jobs I am one of those people. While I have applied for a few and even had an interview or two. I have not come away with anything. Fast food is more than running the register. Its being quick, being polite its being some things that not everyone is. And even they aren’t hiring all the time.

6. I think these people drive me the most crazy. Something I have learned from trying to get job this year and years before this too. You DO catch breaks. I have and I think everyone else does too. You walk in a job and get hired on the spot. They wont check your background or care for a second interview. I had a job few years ago where the manager hired me on the spot because he simply liked me. He told me they normally did two interviews but thought that it didn’t matter and I didn’t need a second one. So these do happen. But they aren’t that common. More than not I don’t get hired right then. I don’t. So that’s great you got a job its not that hard for you THIS time. Don’t look down on those struggling to get your luck this time. Its not fair and its not the same. Wait till your next job bet you wont get so lucky and score a job so quickly.

7. I am bored out of my mind about half the time. Do you know what I do when I am not trying to get a job? I sleep, I read books, I watch tv. But I would do anything to have a job. Its HORRIBLE. I have ADD I get bored easily and not working this long is scary. I am more scared for when I do finally get a job how I will be like acting. I am out of practice again and this isn’t a good thing. So no I would rather have a job then just sit at home online looking.

8. While I am unsure about how it works for other states. I know for a fact in California the money for our UE comes from the people we used to work for. It might be less than we made originally but its not coming from anyone else paychecks. I am unsure again like I said how it works for all the other 49 states. But for us in California that is not how it is. So stop saying this. You are NOT paying for me to not have a job.

Point being in all this. First of all think people. You just shouldn’t be saying mean things to people who are on the edge and nervous and stressed out. People with families and rent and things to pay that if not done will get them thrown out on the streets.

I wish I had the means to start a home biz and get experience. I have a BA degree. And I’ve gone to a tech school. But I still cant get a job without experience. Until the people who are hiring lower some of their standards people like me will continue to struggle to find work. Even small minimum wage jobs.
