Stringers
Stringers are freelance journalists that cruise the city looking for bad things that are happening at night mainly. It’s apparently a great living but frankly I find the whole idea just plain disgusting. These guys go out looking for something bad, and consider it a good night when they get a great shot of some very horrible situation. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not like these guys are assholes or anything, they feel compassion and bad in general for the situation but their main goal for the night is to get the best shot of a horrible story so that the news companies will buy it.
In today’s rant not only am I ranting against Stringers but also the news media as it is. Frankly you want to know why people are so depressed these days? Because we never hear about anything good anymore on the news. It’s so doom and gloom. And these people are the ones to feed into it. This is why people are so paranoid about the world around them.
There are so many good things that happen daily but you don’t see them on the news, they don’t bring in ratings. The bad stuff on the other hand does and I’m not sure why it is. Perhaps it has to do with people’s fascination with things they don’t understand or they consider interesting.
I don’t even watch the news anymore. During the election there was a lot of talk about hopeful things. Afterwards it’s just been crap and it’s been very depressing to say the least. I mean you can’t even avoid it on TV shows. There is nothing really all that fun anymore. Maybe it’s just the mood of the nation. I just want some feel good stuff on the TV once in a while.

My favorite house…
So if I had the opportunity to build my own home this is what it would consist of.
First off it would be on a large piece of land so as to allow for a guest house (maybe two bedrooms to the guest house) of reasonable size for Patti to live in and also have a huge backyard.
It would be two levels. Lower level would be a semi-open floor plan. You’d enter the house and see a small formal living room and the dining room. The stairs would be located at the front of the house as well. Then you’d walk past a wall basically which separates the formal living room and dining room from the family room and kitchen. The family room and kitchen would be open to each other so I could cook and see Kaylee basically.
Off the living room would be the hall way to the guest room and bathroom as well as the direct access to the garage. Also there would be another room connected to the living room via two glass french doors which would be the education room for Kaylee. In this room would be a built in desk and library like shelving on one wall.
Upstairs would be four bedrooms. Two connected via a Jack and Jill bathroom. There would be a third bathroom not connected to any bedroom as well upstairs. The laundry room would be upstairs as well so no trucking of clothes up and stairs would have to be done. The master bedroom would be huge and have a huge bathroom as well in it. There would be a large desk which spans the back of the house (which also has access from one of the smaller bedrooms) and has stairs that lead downstairs to the backyard as well.
The backyard would be huge and just grass. The guest house would be back there as well in the back corner and would be set up almost like an apartment, with a small “yard” for itself that is fenced in so that Patti’s dog wouldn’t poop all over the main yard. We’d have a pool, fenced in obviously.
So that’s my dream house and there are actually several homes in Simi Valley that would fit this very well, sadly I don’t have 700K to purchase said house. Sucks.
I’ve seen 141 out of 239 films
SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own blog, paste this as a note. Then, put x’s next to the films you’ve seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom. Have fun. (more…)
