please not this is the censored version.  if what i say you find offensive then stop reading this and dont complain to me.

im so sick of seeing all the ribbons on the backs of cars everywhere.  ok, the ones for cancer and the support our troops ones i like and am ok with, hell, i even have one myself.  its the other ones that piss me off.

you know, the ribbons that have sports teams or school names on them.  i feel like it cheapens cancer, like we have readily accepted it as an everyday part of our lives.  i find it really offensive.  im always tempted to just drive up to the other car and flick them off or something.  but i dont, i just hold it in to rant about it for all you readers out there.

i hate being too dang shy to just shout at the person.  we should not do anything that makes cancer a part of our everyday lives, or cheapen it in any way, we need to figure out a way to cure it so families and friends dont have to lose someone they love all the time.  i have seen so many strong people with cancer and it makes my heart cry out because ill probably be one of those people one day.  i mean i hope i dont get breast cancer, but since my mother had it i might get it one day.  after all, im not really sure if it runs in my family or not.  i know nothing about my mother's father's side of the family, and my grandmother wont tell me a thing about him.  she tells me to pretend im not related to him.

well guess what?  even if  i did pretend something like that it wouldnt change a thing.  if cancer runs on that side of the family, or some other illness, then i have a chance of getting it that no amount of pretending can fix.

im not bothering to put this on my xanga or gaia cause well, i havnt been on there in so long so this is just for you myspace nuts.
