THIS I FIND DISTURBING.

This I find very disturbing. Below is a Twitter timeline from a series of Tweet that was exchanged from a friend of mines on Twitter and a total stranger. It was based on a tweet from Kelly Clarkson the tweet is below.

“I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he’s got my vote. Too bad he probably won’t.”

As you can see in the Twitter timeline below, this is angry, bigoted, and very backwards-thinking that still seems to infest people’s minds. It’s rude and nasty chatter like this that makes me wonder if mankind’s mind has ever evolved.

This is racist, shameful, rude, disrespectful talk coming from Twitter user @duchess68524. As a society we must stop this hate! There is no need for this! Twitter user and friend @JustShabobe was doing nothing more than voicing an opinion.

Shame to @duchess68524 for voicing such hates!  They think they are grown, but the fact is that she has to resort to using such angry rhetoric to get her point across. She makes statements such as “, you AIDS-infected fag milkshake milk chocolate looking ass” to get a point across?

Her parents should talk to her so that she can stop her evil ways! This is pure hate in one of its many forms. And this just needs to stop!

So shame on you @duchess68524! If you want to be bitter, sixteen and pregnant, racist. Then maybe in your future you will become pregnant, catch HIV/AIDS and hate minorities for the rest of you life.

So if that is what you want from life then that is fine, but don’t ever impose such thoughts on the rest of us.

Below is a copy of the actual Twitter feed from my friend @JustShabobe and the stupid, evil nimrod @duchess68524. You have to read the timeline from the bottom to the top for the correct exchange of Tweets.

As for Kelly Clarkson tweeting this. I would say. “Think before you tweet, granted you too are entitled to your opinion as well. But take the time to research who you support. As well don’t lash out to your fans, after all they made who you currently are.”

The exchange can be seen on  @JustShabobe and @duchess68524 Twitter timeline. Kelly Clarkson tweet can be seen at @kelly_clarkson.

My Twitter account is @LUIS_CASTRO_NYC and my friends Twitter account is @JustShabobe if you ever want to follow or send a comment to us via Twitter.

The text below has been unedited and in it’s original form from the Twitter feed, along with a comment that my friend sent to me via e-mail.

 

The text below was an e-mail that my friend sent me that motivated me to submit this post.

Hey,

Below is a timeline feed from Twitter about how a difference of opinion reveals a bit of racism when people  With 2012 election coming faster and faster, it is clear that there’s a definite divide between liberal and conservatives on a number of issues from gays to minorities to equality. Not to say that conservatives are more prejudice than liberals because it exist in both parties. It’s the angry, bigoted, and very backwards-thinking rhetoric that comes from staunch conservatives like the current candidates for the GOP nomination.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we are should be respected for such, but there’s nothing wrong with debating what you believe in. Read below to see how respect is thrown out of the window when people stop being polite or respectful to each other.

 

 THE TWITTER TIMELINE BELOW IS SHOWN IN TRADITIONAL “TWITTER” FORMAT, WITH THE BOTTOM “TWEET” BEING THE FIRST. THE LAST TWEET ON THE TOP AS THE ACTUAL END OF THE CONVERSATION.

*Please note the following. The claim made by @dutchess68524: that @JustShabobe is a pedophile is TOTALLY FALSE! As well at the time of this blog post @dutchess68524  Twitter account had been terminated by Twitter.

TWITTER CONVERSATION BELOW.

Just been blocked & reported RT @dutchess68524: Report and block @JustShabobe…he said he wants to have sex with me. He’s a pedophile.

I’m gay and she is harassing me! RT @dutchess68524: Report and block @JustShabobe…he said he wants to have sex with me. He’s a pedophile.

@dutchess68524 No wonder u’re clueless…u’re a child and extremely uneducated. This explains a lot. Poor u, haha

@dutchess68524 No, I said my chest is better than yours which means u just look like a boy naked. Not hot on a woman

@dutchess68524 Don’t hate cuz my chest is better than yours. Anyway, I think others will want u for ur views, not ur body. Maybe not, haha

@dutchess68524 I feel sorry for u actually. You seem bitter, angry, lonely, self-hating, highly inferior to others, and a dumb bitch.

@dutchess68524 Well, u have to have sex to get it. I doubt that’s happening in ur life. No one wants a bitter chick

Ha, You crushing on me? @dutchess68524: @JustShabobe Uhh I believe that’s you, you AIDS-infected fag milkshake milk chocolate looking ass

You’re seriously clueless, but it’s Ok, I have more respect for scum than u. RT @dutchess68524: @JustShabobe you’re gay? #yuck

@dutchess68524 I don’t want to control small-minded people. They take up too much space

@dutchess68524 And I can’t be racist, my wht boyfriend next to me wouldn’t approve, hahaha

@dutchess68524 You’re not very smart. You support a racist, PERIOD! Hitler only wanted his race to excel, not his country. Just like Mr Paul

@dutchess68524 Dunno, u should ask him. Seems like u two could be related

@dutchess68524 for the record, you are the true piece of shit considering u defend a party that doesn’t care for women. How smart do u seem?

@dutchess68524 No dumbass, b/c Ron Paul is a bigot, wants Jews destroyed, and your buddy @kelly_clarkson is all about him like u are.

@dutchess68524: @JustShabobe oh because all white people are hicks, you racist piece of shit.

@dutchess68524 Lol, Obama led the charge. Anyway, all the GOP runners have constantly shown they are out-of-touch, angry, obsessed hicks.

@dutchess68524: @JustShabobe neither did Obama. Brave men over seas did.

@dutchess68524 He killed Osama to start and it only took two yrs in Afghanistan, not 8 years in Iraq to do it

@dutchess68524 At the end of the day, I want a unifier as my next President, not a divider

@dutchess68524 It doesn’t compare to what the last GOP Prez did to this country and the # of weirdos vying to be the nominee now.

@dutchess68524 Sure, just I don’t respect peeps who support the destruction of one country, blames the US for 9/11, and is a Southern bigot.

@kelly_clarkson Just cuz Ron Paul is another Texan, doesn’t mean u stand behind them. Ever hear of the term Lemmings off a bridge? #Dumbass

 

 

Well… at lease Kelly Clarkson apologized at the end of all this. Unlike @dutchess68524 .

 

THE HATE HAS TO STOP EVERYONE! AND IT STOPS ONLY WHEN YOU TAKE ACTION TO DO SO.

FLATLINE… THE STROKE CHRONICLES. (INTRODUCTION)

Flatline… The Stroke Chronicles.

“Where others will not cross the line, the line is where I begin and cross over to start my journey.” – Luis Castro A.K.A Lu Logic

INTRODUCTION:

As my first entry into “Flatline… The Stroke Chronicles.”  Before I start to mention and thank everyone that has help me and proceed to tell my story. I just wanted to give my current state of mind as to how I am currently feeling.

Those feelings are the following.:

Depressed. A feeling of rage and anger. Sadness, feeling useless not being able to contribute to the world. And lost.

But most importantly… I have this feeling that I am no longer the person that I was once originally.

I know that sounds odd, but I truly feel that I am no longer the same person that I once was. I keep saying to myself as if I am talking to another person saying. “You can do this, and move on.”

The following song lyric keeps playing in my head as if I am telling it to the “original me.” That song lyric is the following.

“I won’t let you down. I will not give you up. Gotta have some faith in the sound. It’s the one good thing that I’ve got. I won’t let you down. So please don’t give me up, cause I would really, really love to stick around, oh yeah.”

This is what I am saying to my other self. That “other self” is my body and soul before the stroke ever happened. I don’t plan on giving up, but I find myself at times telling my current body this. “Just keep moving forward.”

The song lyric is from singer George Michael, It’s the opening/starting lyric From the song “Freedom! ’90.”

“I won’t let you down. I will not give you up. Gotta have some faith in the sound. It’s the one good thing that I’ve got. I won’t let you down. So please don’t give me up, cause I would really, really love to stick around, oh yeah.”

The above lyric is what I say/sing to myself every waking moment and every day since the first day I woke up in a hospital bed on that faithful November Sunday morning. November 27, 2011 to be exact. The first full day to the start of my new life.

I guess one might call it a birthday. Actually I do just that. It’s kind of funny actually that the stroke happened exactly one week before my forty-fifth birthday. My birthday was on December 3, 2011. These two dates I will never forget. I just feel that I am a totally different person now.

Like as if I have a vague memory of who I originally was. Is this felling that I am having normal? Honestly I don’t know. Should I know this answer? “I don’t know.”

Maybe this is normal… This feeling. Once again “I don’t know.” Will I ever know? “I don’t know.” That is what scares me the most, the unknown. This is why I must move forward in my life. For I feel that if I stop, my current life stops.

My motto seems to be the following now. Where others will not cross the line, the line is where I begin and cross over to start my journey.”  This odd motto is what keeps me going.

I was after such a very long time just getting my life back together. Then out of nowhere… I was banished from the heights of heaven, with no warning or reason as to why this was being done to me. And had fallen on to a planet called “Earth.”

And when I had woken up from that fiery descent and rose from the ashes, I noticed my wings were burned off, bleeding and destroyed. And from then on I was forced to join the masses of thousands of human beings that were also inflicted with pain and suffering. Have I not suffered enough in my life?

Why did God (If there is such a being…) Do this to me and to others as well?

But I can’t hunt for that answer now. And I don’t plan on doing so. All I know is that I must go forward and move on. I have to move on.

This is what I am feeling now, this is where my mind is at currently. I have so many mixed feelings, but the one true thing that I know is that I have to go on. “Flatline… The Stroke Chronicles.” Will be the story of my journey, my thoughts and most importantly my progress.

May you all continue to read my story as it ventures on.

A PREVIEW OF “FLATLINE… THE STROKE CHRONICLES.”

The following is a short preview of my next series of blog post called.

 

“Flatline… The Stroke Chronicles.” 

This will be a series of postings about the recent stroke that I had, and I wanted to share with everyone on what it was like to actually go through one.

As for the title ”Flatline… The Stroke Chronicles.” I picked this as my title after giving it some thought during my three weeks in the hospital recovering. Part of the title comes from one of my favorite movies actually called “Flatliners.”

 

Yes… “Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.”

Then again… As anyone that knows me well enough to know that I would say the following as my reply.

“Where others will not cross the line, the line is where I begin and cross over to start my journey.”

 

You can watch my preview video here.

 

 

Stay tuned for the blog series “Flatline… The Stroke Chronicles.” And may this series be enlightening to everyone that reads and watches it. If you know someone who had a stroke, survived it. But was always afraid to ask questions about such an event. Then “Flatline… The Stroke Chronicles” might be the blog post to help you find those answers.

THE START OF SOMETHING NEW.

I know I have not posted in a few weeks, the reason is the following.

On Saturday November 26, 2011 at 10:30 a.m. I had woken up to discover that I had a stroke. Yes… a stroke. Actually… I did not find out it was a stroke that I had until much later in the day. I will post those details as to what happened in the very near future.

Funny how this happened to me just one week before my forty-fifth birthday. But yes that did happen and I have spent the last three weeks in the hospital recovering.

Some friends and followers of my blog have asked me what exactly happened. And I will do just that and explain everything all in due time. And as well I do plan to thank all that have helped me  and have sent me get well messages too during this odd and interesting time in my life.

For at this moment in my life things are very different for me now. All will be explained, so feel free to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. To read my up and coming posts about the stroke I just recently had.

Or if you want to ask me questions about it please feel free to do so, and I will post my answers on the blog as well.

Thanks in advance,

Lu
