Scrumblechumming

Scrumblechumming is highly addictive. Each session of Scrumblechum can last between a minute to all night or longer. I was introduced to it by my boyfriend about two years ago and my life hasn't been the same since. The thing about Scrumblechumming is that it feeds off of you. It knows what you want and will keep you coming back for more so that each time you hit it, it's a surprise, but you know that if it's not a surprise that you like, you just hit it again. It's a game of luck, but better than any Russian roulette.

Here, I will show you the first ten Scrumblechums I get:

1. Insanely Talented Beat-Boxing Kid

This beatbox tune is actually pretty good. I'd like to hear him in real life. And I'm sure he came up with the tune on his own too, which probably took an incredible amount of creativity!


2. PVC Medley

Two creative guys in a row? Is my Scrumblechum always like this? There are so many talented people out there. Everyone's got something to impress everybody. I wonder what I've got? Yes, that's right, I'm still not entirely sure what my "talent" is. Oh well. In due time, I'm sure.


3. "Animals With A Sense Of Humor"

More beatboxing?

Haha... wait, let me try something:

Well, this might make it easier! Guess what I just learned? How to post the stuff I find directly on here.


5. Cookie Packaging

I'm sure there is someone who is offended out there because of this rihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifght now.


6. Cool Airline Steward Rapping Instructions

So when Southwest advertises, why don't they use this guy's little performance?


7. Straight No Chaser - "I'm Yours/Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

Perfect! Two of my favorite "cheer up" songs in one. Can you imagine the pick-me-up I'd feel listening to this on a down day?


8. This Week's Top 10 Demotivational Posters

Yeah, I guess that's a marketing tactic. Dishonest, though.


9. Bollywood Heroes

Sometimes, I think heroes were better when we were kids. This is like an excerpt from a childhood pretend game. Flying cars into helicopters to save a friend, bad guys running away and getting their arms chopped off... I guess you could say... he couldn't HANDle it. Yeeeeeaaaah! Aw, I wish my boyfriend could see that joke. He'd be proud. I've come such a long way with those Horatio Cane jokes.

Anyway, let us venture forth! Because TEN is a very good number, so hopefully the next one will be fantastic.


10. Sakawa Boys

Alright, I didn't laugh at all during this one, so I guess I was right about TEN being a good number. Twenty minutes later, I did learn about a few things though. I learned about a little country in Africa. I read a comment earlier today about someone's opinion on immigration and how people are crossing our American borders because "they are struggling and just trying to take care of their families" but hey, these Ghanians are just trying to do the same. I mean, a lot of them are the same age as I am and they have so much of this world to enjoy. So why should they be beaten down by poverty? Same applies to Mexicans or whoever is trying to get into this country illegally in order to make a buck. So, yes, I get it about them trying to make it.

But aren't we all? Some people get lucky and are born into a land of opportunity. Others need to fight to create their land of opportunity. America wasn't always an amazing place for everyone (but she IS one of a kind). Our forefathers started this idea and got everyone on board:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That's from our Declaration of Independence. That's what this country was founded on. So even though we've only been around for a little over two and a quarter centuries, it's our desperate fight to defend what is right and fair for all people that keeps us going, and if other countries would do that instead of stepping on those people under them, they'd be much better off. It takes a huge act of selflessness to be a good politician but if they remember Lincoln's words, they'll know what their jobs really are:
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.


The thing is, we're getting crowded. I'm sure we'll have to input some law about two children per couple in a few decades, but for now, we're just trying to limit the flow of immigrants, like illegal ones. I get it, you want to have a better future for your kids. Is it possible to get a few buddies together like John Adams down the street and your neighbor John Hancock and possibly MAKE your future brighter? That way, you can have pride in your heritage and your history, because, let's be honest, if you're not in your own country, your culture's going to die out in... probably three generations. Maybe four (lucky you). I only know this because a lot of my younger relatives can't speak our native tongue. They speak perfect English, but when their parents start duking it out, man, the kids are completely clueless.

So, I'm cool with immigrants who love America so much, that they want to be a part of it (I mean, Americans move to Europe or Japan or something all the time), but if you're just in it for the money, please go back and work on your own country. It has so much to offer. It just needs some really amazing people to stand up and fight for it. Nope, don't shift the blame to the "White Devil" or something like that. I mean it. That doesn't fly with the "White Devils" and they're probably going to kick your (I mean, have you SEEN what we did to the Middle East?). So why don't you try pulling out the "Let's Take Pride in Ourselves" card and call that your starting point?

Speaking it feels like the real men of the past are fading away with each generation. I mean, how many of the speeches in our present will still be quoted and admired like Abe Lincoln's speech? Or Martin Luther King Jr.'s amazing "I Have a Dream" speech? Moral fiber is getting weak. That's why I like my boyfriend. He was raised right.

Okay, enough with this. I could go on forever with my opinion. In fact, I can't wait to see all the comments I will get about how stupid my ideas are or whatever, but when I worked my butt off and sacrifice all things "fun" to get to where I am, I get pretty upset when I find out the government is giving out free cell phones to people on welfare. That shit ain't necessary and that's MY money that's paying for it. If they government keeps that up, it better be because they are paying for it from their own paycheck. So now, I encourage you to tell me if I've got this all wrong. I will read it all and I will consider your point of view, but just as I am not going to be offended if you don't accept my views, don't be offended because I don't accept yours.



Note: "Scrumblechumming" is just what I call it when I am using Firefox's StumbleUpon feature.
