My movie reviews, and albino love.

The DaVinci code:
My synopsis of the movie is, that book would have made a good movie.

X-men 3 The Last Stand:
Pretty darn good, but blew a bunch of "could've kicked major ass" moments.


I was reading about an albino group that was furious over their portrayal as villains in most media outlets these days. I have drawn a conclusion. Albinos' aren't angry because they are show to be evil, they are angry because they are not allowed to use their inherent super powers in everyday life. I mean, if you have ever seen "Powder", you would know that albino people can do funky electrical shit, and various other cool tricks. "Powder" himself was a well adjusted, if slightly introverted young man. WHY? Because he could use his superpowers whenever he wanted to, and wasn't filled with the frustrations of holding back whenever he was made fun of.
I propose a constitutional ammendment allowing our pasty white freaky looking peoples to use their powers at will. This will eliminate their need to bitch about being portrayed as eveil, because let's face it, everyone wants super powers.

I couldn't leave without something disturbing being here to entertain the masses.

Why I still breastfeed my eight-year-old girl

A PENRITH mum has appeared on national TV to explain why she is still breastfeeding her daughter who is nearly eight – and why she gave her older daughter breast milk as a ninth birthday present.

Veronika Robinson appeared on the Channel 4 programme Extraordinary Breastfeeding as a passionate advocate of allowing children to decided when they give up breast milk.

Mrs Robinson, a former journalist, her husband Paul, and their children, Bethany and Elizah, are all fans of organic food.

Elizah is approaching her eighth birthday and is not happy at the prospect of giving up her daily feed. “I don’t want to be weaned. I want to breastfeed for ever,” she said.

In the Channel 4 programme, broadcast on Wednesday, Mrs Robinson, 38, spoke frankly about her decision to defy convention.

She was one of several families interviewed after the World Health Organisation recommended that children should be breastfed until they are aged two. All share the belief that children should never be forcibly weaned.

While many people in the UK consider her decision odd, other cultures do not take such a dim view of prolonged breast feeding.

In an interview before the TV programme, 38-year-old Veronika described her reaction when Bethany asked for breast milk for her ninth birthday. “I was delighted, if a little taken aback,' she said.

“I'd stopped breastfeeding Bethany when she was five – though I was continuing to feed her younger sister, Elizah – but obviously she clearly remembered what a wonderful feeling it had been. It was the best thing she could imagine and, presented like that, it seemed like a great idea.”

Veronika, who edits an alternative-parenting magazine called The Mother continued: “My girls were brought up to think it was completely normal to ask for a breast in a shop,” she says. “That’s bad enough when they are toddlers, but when they are big girls, people get freaked out by it.

“I try to be discreet, but we have had some odd looks. People tend to be disgusted and disbelieving.”

“I can’t believe any mother wouldn’t love to hold onto that wonderful feeling you get when you are nursing your own child.”

Despite the Breast Is Best campaign, designed to highlight the benefits of breastfeeding to new born babies, only 68 per cent of mums routinely breastfeed. Of those around 80 per cent give up after just six months.

littlejoe finds this disturbing. That alone should tell you it is fucked up! There comes a time when the damn umbilical has to be cut for fucksakes.

I are job, part second.

Thank you to all of my friends, I am going to miss you guys while I am gone. I am nervous, and excited, and even a little afraid to head out into the real world again, but I know I deserve good things. God has out before me this awesome opportunity to make a damn fine living, and see the country. I need to remember that until I chose to put my life in his hands, I was a miserable wreck.

I love all of you, and hope to see anyone who cares to see me sooner than later.
