Blurbal Perspective

Photo Credit: starcasm You know someone is wrong for your country when the most hated country in the world endorses that person for president. North Korea released an editorial on Tuesday, praising presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's stance on various issues. This comes less than a week after Trump expressed interest in meeting with Kim Jong Un. State run newspaper DPRK in North Korea posted the following in the editorial: "There are many positive aspects to Trump’s 'inflammatory policies'" North Korea also called Trump a " wise politician ," and a " far-sighted presidential candidate." They continued: "The president that U.S. citizens must vote for is not that dull Hillary... but Trump, who spoke of holding direct conversation with North Korea." My Two Cents I have a question for people who voted for Donald Trump: Are you stark raving mad? The last thing we need is to become besties with a country that has worke...

Photo Credit: cbslocal via Getty Images Mama June will be headlining a stripping tour this summer, and will reportedly come home with some serious bank! She will be joining several porn stars in cities such as Los Angeles, Vegas, Baltimore, and Oklahoma City. According to the Daily Star, she will be paid $20,000 for the gig. Life hasn't been sweet for the Honey Boo Boo clan. In 2014, the show was cancelled after it was learned that Mama June was dating a child molester. The man had actually molested Mama June's daughter Anna when she was 8 years old. Since 2014, money has been tight for the Boo Boo family. The New York Post reports that Mama June will not be stripping. Instead, she will be participating in meet-and-greets and walking red carpets. Breathe easy guys!

Before I begin, I injured my back three and a half years ago. Everyday since the pain began, I've been in moderate to severe pain. Two years ago, I underwent a spinal fusion. Unfortunately, because of my autoimmune diseases, my discs never fused (it's a condition called Pseudoarthrosis, or failed bone growth). I also started gaining weight during this time due to emotional eating (depression), and inactivity. Today, I had a follow-up with my neurosurgeon and the dreaded 'S' word came up: surgery (Revision Spine Surgery, to be exact). While surgery is just a possibility, it is something that I need to prepare for now. In order for the neurosurgeon to feel comfortable doing the surgery on me, I need to be in "optimal health." That basically means that I need to be as healthy as possible. I do need to lose weight, and in order for me to do that, my diet needs to be ON POINT (no snacking, no crap, none of that). We are talking about only shopping the outer pe...

Photo Credit: fashionnstyle On May 25, 'Nashville' fans were outraged when the series ended with a cliffhanger. Juliette's fate hung in the balance during the last minute of the finale. While they did have an alternate (and happier) ending to air, they chose to air that cliffhanger. Lionsgate is confident that the show will be picked up by another network. It looks like that confidence may be paying off. Producers of the show have revealed that several networks have shown an interest in rescuing the fan favorite. The cast of 'Nashville,' and their fans have campaigned and petitioned for 'Nashville' to come back. One petition on Change.org has well over 150,000 supporters, all within the last few weeks. Lionsgate execs spoke to reporters last week: "The fans and everyone else is clamoring for many more seasons. These kinds of shows can go forever and ever — obviously that’s our hope and expectation, but we’ve got to do it one season at a time...

Photo Credit: slate.com For the better part of the year, Trump University has been fighting a federal lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses GOP frontrunner Donald Trump's school of misleading several thousand people into paying $35,000 to learn about Trump's real estate investment strategies. The order to unseal the University's records was signed by U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel. Curiel said this about the unsealing of Trump University documents: "Defendant’s assertion that the information retains any commercial value is speculative given the lack of any support for the statement that [Trump University] ‘may’ resume operations after six years. At the same time, the Post makes a strong argument that the public interest is heightened in this case." Trump was quick to respond and attack Curiel. At a campaign event in California, the presumptive GOP candidate for president unleashed an uncalled for attack against the Judge. "I have a judge who is a hater...

Photo Credit: iamagco Johnny Depp's movie "Alice Through the Looking Glass" failed to deliver at the box office this weekend. The movie opened in more than 3,700 theaters and only grossed $28.1 million over the three day weekend (when you factor in Monday, the movie is projected to each the $35 million mark). The box office failure comes on the heels of the negative publicity coming from Depp's personal life. As more allegations have been released, reviews of the movie have trended downward. The Disney movie was expected to meet (or surpass) $55 million. The movie cost $170 million to produce. Worldwide, "Alice Through the Looking Glass" was met with mixed reviews, and generated $65 million. The movie was number one in China, but flopped in the UK. "Alice" also stars Mia Wasikowska. X-Men: Apocalypse took the top spot this weekend. My Two Cents This is a nightmare for Johnny Depp, and all involved in this movie. It is highly dou...

As we all know, there had been talks about Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump debating one another ahead of the California Primaries. Donald Trump was 'on board' with it, but quickly reneged on his agreement to debate Sanders. When asked about his reasons behind backing out of the debate, his reasons were baseless, just like his politics. Trump stated that it would be "inappropriate for him" to debate the Democratic party's "second place finisher." " Therefore, as much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders — and it would be an easy payday — I will wait to debate the first-place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be ." On Saturday morning, #ChickenTrump began trending on all social media sites. Memes were generated with Trump's face on chicken bodies, fried chicken, and more. So why do I think this is an insult to chickens? Well, because chickens have more sense than Donald Trump. Th...

Photo Credit: becomegorgeous(dot)com With summer just around the corner, it is time to think about UV protection. It is extremely important to always wear sunscreen when outside for prolonged periods of time (beaches, playing sports, BBQs, tailgating, etc). If you do end up sunburned, it is important to treat the burn right away. One treatment that has helped calm sunburns for generations is Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is a plant that hails from Africa. Inside the plant is a juice or gel that possesses soothing abilities. Not only that, it also contains an anti-bacterial quality. Aloe Vera has been used for centuries to help soothe burns. It is still used today in many hospital burn units. If you get a sunburn, consider using Aloe Vera to aid in soothing pain and redness. If you develop a severe sunburn, contact your doctor before using Aloe Vera.

Photo Credit: RadarOnline This is turning into one ugly divorce, and it only just started. Yesterday, Amber Heard came forward and accused husband Johnny Depp of abusing her. She showed up at a courthouse with photographic evidence and was awarded a temporary restraining order. Today, we are learning more about their marriage. Heard, 30, has disclosed that Depp, 52, abused her during the 4 years they were together. She also stated that the abuse occurred when Depp was drunk and on drugs. According to TMZ, Amber Heard claims that Depp was " barely ever sober " during their 15 month marriage. The only time Depp wasn't drinking and using, was when he was shooting a movie. After he was done with a movie, he went back to using. She also claims that Depp became increasingly paranoid, and suffered from constant delusions and heightened aggression. Heard requested $50K in spousal support, which was denied. Articles are circulating that the police do not believe her...

In the world of Donald Trump, white people are supreme, the LGBT community is sick and twisted, and women are nothing but child-bearers and servants to men. The GOP nominee has been quoted as saying some of the worst (and dumbest) things in history. Well, let's add one more to the mix. On Thursday, Donald Trump gave a speech to his supporters in North Dakota. During the speech, he said this : "You have to be wealthy in order to be great, I'm sorry to say."  It didn't take long for Twitter to take issue with this. My Two Cents It doesn't surprise me that he would say something like this. The man wipes his a** with hundred dollar bills, and blows his nose on $50 bills. Once someone becomes a slave to money, your soul dies. There are other ways to measure greatness and success. Has he saved someone's life? Has he fought for our country? Has he overcome tremendous adversity? Is he humble? The answers to those questions are a resounding 'no...

The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard saga just reached a new level of WTF. Here's what we know so far: Shortly after Depp's mother dies, Heard files for divorce from Depp. After that, Depp files paperwork to make sure Heard doesn't take his $400 million fortune. Now, Amber Heard claims that Depp abused her throughout their marriage. She arrived at court with pictures of her bruises; her lawyer accompanied her. People at the courthouse saw a bruise on her face, which she claims came from Depp on Saturday night. A restraining order was filed, citing that there is a possibility of immediate harm. Johnny Depp has been out of town since Wednesday, promoting his new movie. Depp's lawyer appeared in court on Depp's behalf. My Two Cents Normally, I would side with the woman being abused. However, I don't trust Amber Heard as far as I can throw her. My gut instinct (which tends to be correct a lot of the time) tells me that she is  just getting back at him for filing...

Photo Credit: trhaberler Three days after Johnny Depp's mother passes away, Amber Heard files for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple was only married for 15 months. Rumor has it that the divorce is due to the fact that Depp's family disliked her intensely. Things reached a boiling point when Depp moved his mother onto the property the former couple shared together. Depp's mother often complained that Heard was using her son for his money. Next for the couple is a battle for Johnny Depp's $400 million fortune. Apparently, Heard and Depp never signed a prenup. My Two Cents I've been in Heard's shoes. I was seriously involved with someone and their family disliked me. It can be a stressor on the relationship. However, I cannot sympathize with someone who files for divorce after a spouse's parent dies. Who does that?! That seems a bit shady to me. Way to be a supportive partner, Amber! #dirtbag

Photo Credit: Business Insider Fox News reports that Donald Trump has clinched enough delegates to officially become the Republican nominee for president. In order to receive the nomination, a candidate must receive 1,237 delegates. Donald Trump now has 1,238. The Associated Press reports: "Trump was put over the top by a small number of the party's unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the convention." While Trump has the right amount of delegates to become the official nominee, he still needs to be awarded the nomination at the Republican Party National Convention, which takes place this summer. My Two Cents I'm really not surprised by any of this. Trump has appealed himself to the lowest common denominator, and he made it "cool" to be a hateful and spineless bigot. It will be the saddest day in American history if he is elected President.

Diamond, 39, was released from jail back in April after serving some time for concealed-weapon convictions and disorderly conduct.

Diamond's attorney has yet to give a statement regarding his client's arrest.

Photo Credit: ABC10(dot)com 'Nashville' fans were stunned earlier this month when the show was cancelled by ABC execs. Stars of the show joined forces with fans in order to #BringNashvilleBack. As of right now the show hasn't been picked up by another network, which makes last night's series finale extremely infuriating. Usually in series finales, shows are able to tie up loose ends, and end the series with a sense of closure. In 'Nashville's' case, the series finale ended on a cliffhanger. Before I get into what happened, let's talk about the meat of the episode . We watched Will and Luke band together against conservative homophobes, and demand to be heard. Will made a great argument as he put his biggest nemesis in her place. Will's story ended with him reuniting with his ex Kevin. When it comes to Scarlett and Gunnar, these two were at each other's throats for most of the episode, due to the fact that Scarlett finally declared her lo...

Photo Credit: Sott Before you bring last season's clothes to the clothing donation bins, you might be interested in hearing about the truth behind Planet Aid. It seems like everywhere you go, you spot these yellow clothing bins with Planet Aid written on them. Along with what is accepted in the bins, you learn more about the charity and where your used belongings will go. Hate to break it to you, but Planet Aid is blowing smoke up your a**es. Not only are your clothes NOT going to the needy in Africa, they are supporting a Danish international fugitive named Mogens Amdi Peterson. NBC Washington looked up Planet Aid's IRS documents and found that the organization makes nearly $42 million per year, and NONE of that money goes to helping the needy. Not only that, Planet Aid is being controlled by an organization called Tvind (The Teachers Group). It was founded by Mogens Amdi Peterson. TVind is a humanitarian cult that makes its members transfer ALL of their income to a ...

Photo Credit: thelibertarianrepublic Recently, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump sat down with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, and they talked trans rights and gender-neutral bathrooms. Trump stated that the trans community is " such a tiny part of our population, and that we have to protect everybody, even if it's just one person." Later on in the program, Trump was asked if he plans on installing gender-neutral bathrooms on any of his Trump properties. Trump said " I hope not ," and that the project would be " unbelievably expensive. " The subject of a nationwide installation of gender-neutral bathrooms came up and Trump stated that it would cost " hundreds of billions of dollars ." He also added: "I think our country really wants to be spending money on other things, let’s build more buildings, let’s create more jobs, let’s do something. That would be an unbelievably expensive situation to do. Unbelievably. An...

Photo Credit: Uproxx.com Some of the biggest names in the written word have come out against the idea of Donald Trump becoming president. Over 450 writers and authors, including Stephen King, have gathered together to write a letter declaring their opposition to the GOP candidate. In the letter, writers condemn Trump for his abusive viewpoints and causing extreme division in the country in order to gain more power. Writers also stated that Trump's wealth and celebrity do not qualify someone to speak for all Americans, especially the military. Here's the full letter below, courtesy of Lit Hub : "Because, as writers, we are particularly aware of the many ways that language can be abused in the name of power; Because we believe that any democracy worthy of the name rests on pluralism, welcomes principled disagreement, and achieves consensus through reasoned debate; Because American history, despite periods of nativism and bigotry, has from the first been a grand e...

Photo Credit: DakkikaOrg Everywhere you look...we see more and more news about season two of Fuller House. Well, get ready for some testosterone-filled news: We will be seeing A LOT more of Steve, Matt, and Fernando. All three men have been promoted to series regulars! According to Deadline and TVline, the (former) loves of DJ and Kimmy's lives will have important storylines in the upcoming season. We will see Steve move on with a "clone of DJ" named CJ. We will also see Matt move on with someone new. As for Fernando, his storyline isn't being released to the public, but I'm sure it will be equally as passionate as it was in the first season. Photo Credit: DakkikaOrg I have to ask though, why bring Steve back? He turned into the biggest creeper I've ever seen (I mean, I'm pretty sure his character has a room dedicated to DJ Tanner photos. What happened to his character to make him turn so creepy? He's way too desperate). I can't even w...

90s rock band Garbage has returned to us from the Heavens, and gifted us some musical brilliance ahead of their 6th studio album release. Garbage lead singer, and ultimate rock goddess Shirley Manson dons pink hair in the band's music video for the album's first single, "Empty." Before you all jump to conclusions and think they have probably 'sold out' like most bands from the 1990s, let me assure you, they haven't. They are still the band we all know, and have loved since high school. Garbage's new album "Strange Little Birds" will be out June 10, 2016. Yours truly will be getting a copy that day. Welcome back, Garbage, and thank you for staying true to your roots!

Me: Shauna Silva in NC May 2016 Those of you who have followed my blog since September know the kind of year I've had. It's been tragic, hard, overwhelming, amazing, incredible, and surreal. With that bad break up, to going into treatment, to kicking toxic people out of my life, to finally coming to terms with who I am, I have endured a lot. I had already known that I've changed since September. Today, I found out how much I've changed, and I'm still feeling surreal about it. I have been in therapy on and off since I was 4 years old. Today I had a visit with my therapist that was far different than anything I've ever experienced in therapy. I told my therapist about my trip and how amazing it was. I told her that I came to terms with past trauma and with who I am. I told her about everything I am doing to help stay healthy. She looked at me and said that I'm doing very well; so well that she wants to start weaning me off of therapy. She thinks I'm ...

After President Obama called for schools to allow students to use bathrooms based on gender identity, officials in Oklahoma are calling for President Obama to be impeached . Oklahoma officials cite that Obama has "overstepped his constitutional authority." On Thursday, Oklahoma filed two arguements for Obama's impeachement: "Students should only use bathrooms pertaining to the gender on the birth certificate." "Suggesting th the practices be changed, Obama has overstepped his role." Senator Anthony Sykes of Oklahoma was one of the driving forces behind the call for Obama's impeachment. He said: "The state will do everything in its power to protect their women and children." My Two Cents Soooo, Oklahoma officials feel as if the trans community are a bunch of perverts and molestors. What are they doing about the Priests and Pastors that consistently molest children and members of the Church? In my eyes, THEY are the enemy...

Photo Credit: ageekinthecommunity For many moons, we have watched Sansa Stark go through hell and back. She was engaged to abusive tyrant Prince Joffrey. Then she was forced to marry Tyrion Lannister (who was nice to her, but in love with a wh*re). Lastly, we watched in horror as she was sold (SOLD) to Ramsay Bolton, and subsequently brutally raped by him on their wedding night. With all the bad luck Sansa has had with men, Sophie Turner, 20, has a solution : Sansa should become a lesbian, and she already has love interests in mind! "In the GoT universe, I think she’s going to have to swing the other way – because the men thing isn’t working for her." When Entertainment Weekly asked Sophie Turner who Sansa should be linked to, she had a few ideas: "Judging by Sansa’s relationship with Margaery … probably Margaery." Her next idea sort of mimics that of Jamie and Cersei Lannister. "Or Arya (Sansa's younger sister) – because I’d like to see th...

Photo Credit: trofire Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders has made YUGE strides this year in getting his revolution started. Unfortunately, it looks as if the momentum is beginning to lose its steam. A couple of days ago, it was reported that Bernie's campaign had less than $6 million as of May 1st. This will make it tough for the Democratic favorite to pull one over on opponent Hillary Clinton, who clearly has more money in her arsenal. Reports state that, since the beginning of the year, he has spent over $40 million. When he started his presidential bid, he has spent almost $207 million, which is a lot more than what Clinton has spent since entering the race. Sanders' campaign began taking steps recently in order to spend money. One thing he did that caused mild scrutiny was reduce his payroll from 1,000 employees to less than 400 employees. The Bern man is committed to taking his fight to the final primary on June 14 in DC. He is looking to California, which wil...

Calvin Harris, a DJ who is well-known for dating Taylor Swift, was involved in a car crash on Friday night. He was brought to the hospital with a nasty laceration on his face. He requested to have a private room at the hospital, but when one wasn't available, he left the hospital " against medical advice." The folks in the other car, a bunch of teenagers, were treated for some injuries. One passenger was ejected from the car and suffered a broken pelvis. Officials are saying that it was the VW bug that caused the accident, not Harris' Cadillac. Harris' rep stated that he is on doctor-ordered rest for the 'next few days.' My Two Cents Before I start, I just want to say that I am sorry he was injured in the accident. I've been in 2 car accidents in my life and they are extremely scary. I hope he heals up well and is able to get back to whatever it is that he does. Now, I'm probably going to sound like a b*tch, and I'm sorry: I ha...

Photo Credit: DesignnTrend On Wednesday, Actor/Environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio took his private just to NYC to accept an environmental award. One day later, he hopped on the jet and flew to France to attend amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala, where he had auctioned off a 7 day stay at his residence in Palm Springs. DiCaprio's rep explains the situation to Us Weekly: "He was asked to speak at both Riverkeeper and amfAR events, but the only way to attend the two fundraisers was to hitch a ride with flights that were already planned. Leo helped both events raise millions, donated his own funds, auctioned off his house and had speaking roles in both programs." His trips have sparked criticism with his fans. Some have called him a hypocrite . One user actually hit the nail on the head, in my opinion: "DiCaprio flies from Cannes to NYC in private jet for environmentalism award. If only his self-awareness were as big as his carbon footprint." My Two Cen...

Photo Credit: iguessimagrownupatWordPress Trinity Academy, a school that prides itself on being full of "truth and character," recently sent out a letter to all current and prospective students. The letter, a Statement of Understanding and Agreement for Parent and Student , has its usual drivel of 'God this, God that, blah blah blah.' The last paragraph, however, is quite disturbing: "Given the debate and confusion in our society about marriage and human sexuality it is vital that Trinity families agree with and support the school’s traditional, Christian understanding of those issues. Therefore, when the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home is counter to the school’s understanding of a biblical lifestyle, including the practice or promotion of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) lifestyle or alternative gender identity, the school should have the right, in its sole discretion, to deny the admission of an applicant or discontinue ...

Photo Credit: Shauna Silva (Me) A few days ago, I came back home from visiting family in North Carolina. I spent two weeks reconnecting with family, and reconnecting with myself. With the year that I've had, I needed to get away and work on me. A lot of very strange things happened as I worked on my own happiness and peace. I began to make peace with my past. My grandfather and I had these evening talks about everything, and we talked about parts of my past that were pretty painful and traumatic. As I was getting it all out, I felt like all the pain that I didn't know I was carrying was now being healed. It was a very powerful moment that I will always remember. I spent time at the ocean during my trip. I did some meditation in the gazebo overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and just focused on the sound of the ocean waves, and the salty aroma of the sea. During a lot of my meditations, I find myself at the ocean. It's my place of tranquility. To be meditating at a place o...

Photo Credit: healthfreedoms.org One would think that harvesting rainwater wouldn't be an illegal action. After all, it falls from the sky and it doesn't get used. It's a free for all. We should be using it! Officials have a "very good" reason for banning rainwater use : "It belongs to someone else." Officials believe that people steal rainwater from streams and rivers, and harvest it that way (for the most part, that is NOT TRUE). Several western states (Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon, to name a few)  have outlawed harvesting rainwater as a water source. In fact, if you are caught harvesting rainwater, as one gentleman found out, you are fined and sentenced to jail. Gary Harrington, a rainwater harvester from Oregon, was convicted of harvesting rainwater and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. He willingly served his time as a protest of the ban on rainwater harvesting. A study was done in 2014, and it showed that harvesting rainwater wou...

The 28-year-old actress was in France promoting Woody Allen's " Cafe Society," and posed for pictures while attending Cannes. On Tuesday, she shared a split photo from the red carpet: the first half shows her gold flowing gown from the front, the second half of the picture shows the dress from behind.

As if Blake Lively wasn't the worst already." Another user posted this one (...

Photo Credit: Danudesignsdotcome Today, May 17, 2016 is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. The day was created in 2004 in order to get the attention of policymakers, the public, and the media; and to educate them on the discrimination one faces when one is LGBTI. This movement is celebrated in over 130 countries. In the time this movement has been active, it has become the most important date for the LGBTI community to mobilize on a global scale. It is so important that the world be aware of the discrimination we experience. Homosexuality, being transgender, or being intersex is illegal in many countries around the world. Some people in the community even get killed because of who they are. In the United States, while gay marriage is legal in all 50 states, states such as North Carolina and Mississippi continue their attack on the LGBTI community. They enforce laws that allow conservatives to publicly shame the LGBT community. They enforce bathr...

Photo Credit: opposingviews.com An anonymous woman marched into a Target store, her 12 equally annoying children in tow, and waved her Bible in the air. She shouted disparaging remarks about Target allowing trans men and women to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity. "Attention Target customers… Do not be deceived, Target would have you believe with their Mother’s Day displays that they love mothers and children. This is a deception. This is not love, and they’ve proven it by opening their bathrooms to perverted men. I’m a mother of 12 and I’m very disgusted by this wicked practice. Mothers get your children out of this store. Mothers, have enough decency to get out of this store, it’s a dangerous place… What Target has done is very hateful. It’s hateful towards families. … Are you gonna let the devil rape your children?" The entire scene was recorded and put on YouTube. The video has since gone viral. The family was eventually escorted out. My Two...

Photo Credit: Hello Giggles Our hearts were broken when Jodie Sweetin was eliminated from 'Dancing With The Stars' last week. She has since moved on to greener pastures. Season 2 of 'Fuller House' is in production, and Sweetin recently  spoke to a reporter about who she is rooting for on 'DWTS,' and who her season two love interest might be. When asked about who she is rooting for on 'DWTS,' she named: Nyle DiMarco! " I love Nyle! I got to work with him and dance with him in our group number and I have a soft spot for him, he's so wonderful and so sweet... I hope he does great ." When it comes to 'Fuller House,' Sweetin, 34, revealed hints of what we can expect from Stephanie Tanner in the upcoming season: " Stephanie finally gets a boyfriend. Who it is, is a really fun surprise. So I think fans are going to enjoy that. There could be a connection to [someone from] Full House ." My Two Cents Okay. I have be...

A North Carolina concertgoer recorded the event, which has since gone viral.

Before burning the birth certificate, she said: "Goodbye, gender."  Gif credit: Buzzfeed LGBT Laura Jane Grace hinted last month that she was planning to create an event that would serve as a protest of the discriminatory law.

It was a bold and very beautiful statement that she isn't what is on the birth certificate. That isn't who she is, and that isn't what she was. The person you saw o...

" The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes ." Ten years ago, "Loving Annabelle" graced the screen.  It's about an 18-year-old free spirit who falls in love with her teacher. They bond over painful details of their past, and eventually Simone falls in love with Annabelle. It is a charming LGBT love story that really tugs at your heart strings.
