Today, I finally went to the Getty Villa. I got to go because my boyfriend, J Diaz, is a graphic design major, so we have to go to cool art places because he has to do it for class. The Villa was just beautiful. From the enterance to the actual museum it was just amazing. The architecture of the whole place was very interesting. The artwork, sculptures, artifacts were just delightful, which is from various times and cultures from Greek, Roman, Etruscan, Egyptian. It is amazing to see many of them in full or close to full condition. If you have not gone to the Getty Villa or the Getty, you need to go. Both places are I would like to say breath taking. They bring a great appreciation to the world before our own. Also you can see the great influence they have had on our cultures today.
I saw something ridiculously amazing last night on Jimmy Kimmel during his like monologue. He was making fun of the video above. Since, the one I saw was not the real one I searched for the real video. This women is amazing. She took her disablitiy and threw it out the window and not let it affect her. She is a true inspiration. I have all my fingers and I can even come close to playing the piano as beautiful as she does. Hee-ah Lee has only four fingers and she can play te piano like I have never seen. It is just amazing what determination can do.
Seeing her brings a new perspective to my life. I should not let my pety obstacle stand in the way of what I want to do.
I have never been so upset in my life. After seeing this video I was truly outraged. I think McCain should not allow this to happen. He needs to educate his constituents. Because as you can see in this video that some of them are racist, ignorant people. I have never myself experienced racism, maybe because I live in an area that has evolved from it all, but I did not think that so many still people felt that way. It is somewhat understandable for some older people feeling that way, but there are young people who feel the same way. It is ridiculous. There are many statements that made me want to throw my computer out the window.
These people continue to claim that they are scared of what an Obama Presidency means and now I am too. But not for the same reason as some of the people in Ohio. I am afraid that some people are going to fear what he brings for our country and are going to do something stupid. Something needs to be done. Most likely the McCain campaign will do nothing cause it does not hurt him that these people feel this way. And that is just wrong. Why would anyone person allow this to happen? They need to understand that the rumors that have been going around trying to connect Obama to various people like terrorist is just outrageous.
All the negative campaigns have created an even bigger ignorance. On top of that our media many times does not provide enough information. I am not trying to point fingers here, but someone has to do something before this fear turns into something distructive.
