Name Change

Image
This was unexpected and last minute, but yeah I changed the name of my blog. After doing some more domain searches, I discovered another Justified Productions somewhere in the realms of Florida...and I've been thinking about changing it for some time anyway, I just didn't know what I wanted. I looked at my old Teenage Millionaire notes and pulled out a list of names I was thinking about if I ever had aspirations of starting my own company, and I came across Flipscript. I dug it, but because of my insatiable habit of acting avant-garde in an ever-changing society that deems and monitors what normalcy is, I changed a couple of letters around. Ok, time to write poetry...and edit those business cards! Photo courtesy of ClipArt .

(Used to) Not Want Pets

Image
There was a time when I rarely considered having pets. From what I remember growing up, I only had a couple of pets. They were some hamsters I think my brothers wanted and two small goldfish I won at a county fair. I was about seven when I had the fish. One was gold and the other was silver (Sampson and Hampton). I was a mere toddler when we had hamsters and I don't remember much about them, except I needed to be supervised when I fed the little cute monsters. Since then, I've always had a fascination with hamsters, mice, degus and other similar rodents because...I guess I'm weird like that. But as for dogs and cats, I was completely against it. Don't get at me, I love me some animals. The only reason why I was against having these pets was because of my allergies. I usually react to anything with fur. If a dog jumps up on me to be friendly, I immediately wash my hands. After spending years cringing at cute little pudgy furry faces at pet stores, my mother decided t

Sexual Schizophrenia

If sex is labeled in American culture as a taboo, inappropriate topic to talk about, then sex crimes must be too much for anyone to handle. Sex is just one of those vague topics that has more than one connotation. Narrowing the focus is the most challenging part because everyone has something to say, especially if it involves negative images, portrayals and feelings. No one wants to talk about it, but it’s so easy to watch and sink into on the TV or the internet. So many people are aware of the act itself yet ignore or don’t know the spiritual, emotional/mental and physical effects that take place after. Some consider it a sacred act and some do it for shiggles. Now, for the love of sanity, this article is addressing how sex is perceived in society. I ain’t telling y’all to do anything, you’re grown (if you’re in high school reading this, you just think you’re grown). Why does it sell so well in America? And why did I choose these four women to talk about?  Lorena Bobbit ,
