Wait... who's view are we talking about?

I was hoping to avoid this... but I just can't. I must now blog about political issues!

Do you remember when Rosie O'Donnell was on "The View"? My Mom does. When all the craziness was going on with those women... my Mom got right on board. She would report to me when I got home from work about how crazy Rosie, Joy, and Barbra were that day. My mom LOVED Elizabeth though. I wanna give a flippin' sweet high five to my girl Elizabeth Hasselbeck. She is the BOMB!

A few days ago she got into an argument over the use of the "N-word". Let me preface this with I honestly love black people. I think they're fun and I think race seriously is only skin deep. Whoopie decides to take the stance that black people are allowed to use the N-word but white people cannot. She says that it's appropriate for black people to use N-word, but offensive when white people use it. Wait... WHAT?! Whoopie then goes on a tirade about how her grandmothers oppression gives her and her culture the right to use the word (or at least that's seems to be her justification). Does this make any sense to people? Let me give you all my thoughts:

When African-Americans were oppressed in the United States, they were not allowed to do different kinds of things that white people were allowed to do. Restrooms, water fountains, vote, basic freedoms are all examples of this. It was a very dark chapter for our country. The change occurred when people realized (or didn't) that when you segregate people based on race, you discriminate against them. You take away their dignity. Why does an American culture, that is founded out of the roots of a race, say that another race cannot do something they can do? Isn't that the same kind of discrimination that they fought so hard to destroy?

I say that people who use that kind of language deserve the stereotype of racial ignorance. No matter what race they are. Don't believe me, see and judge for yourself:

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is amazing. I think she is a pioneer for women all over this country. We need more women to stand up and call ignorance and selfishness in a culture what it is.

Get Smart: A review

Get Smart. What can I say? There were moments I was busting out laughing, and there were times when I wanted to nod off and sleep. Don't get me wrong, Steve Carell was amazing. The problem was that the movie lacked a fun plot to go along with the actor. At times I felt like I was watching an old Austin Powers move. The plot was supposed to be silly and unrealistic. But I went into this move thinking they would combine the silly character with a more modern feeling plot... playing off of Steve Carell's amazing ability to make ANYONE laugh at an awkward situation.

My Rating:

If you saw the previews, you saw the funny parts... wait for the Dollar Theatre on this one.

Viva la Vida: A review

Ok so yesterday I downloaded the new Coldplay CD. I LOVE IT!

Coldplay is very original. Their music is chill and calming. Who wouldn't want a group to make a CD that gives you the same feeling as iced coffee on a hot day? I highly recommend it!

"It starts... ya think ya know a guy!"

Well I guess it has to start some time. I lament... it's about time that I get off my butt and put my brain on paper (figurative paper that is.) I feel like I'm caught in that moment in the Lion King bemoningly announces his disappointment in Simba for choosing to pay attention to Nala, instead of his posse. Sarcastic as his comment of,
"It starts... You think you know a guy...",
he doesn't understand what's going on in Simba's head! He's annoyed, stunned, frustrated, and he doesn't fully understand why.

I know what you're thinking:
Nick, you're a dork.

I admit, it is kinda ten-year-old-ish of me to put my thoughts out in such a superfluously juvenile way... but this is how you will feel if you read my blog.

If you know me personally, you have a specific area in which you have encountered all that is "Nick Karr."
Law Student. Superhero. Boyfriend. Professional Bull fighter. One of the Boys. Really, really, ridiculously good looking.
But I think that very few people in this world actually know and understand what's going on in my head; What makes me laugh, cry, excited, frustrated, passionate, apathetic, ect.

So get ready to get a glimpse into pure unbridled Nick. You may know me now... but just wait. This blog is going to BLOW YOUR MIND! This blog is going to challenge me as well. So I'll be there with you- Fellow Meerkats, baffled as to who I really am.

Today, It Starts.
