The Word "Y'all"
The use of "Y'all" is over used, in my opinion, and it's really used out of context by those who are from somewhere other than the south. It's a slang word that was created to mean "you all" or "you guys". It irks me when someone learns that I'm from Texas and they say, "Howdy, how are y'all". First of all, it's not really a Texas word, although we use it, second of all, you don't say "y'all" when you're only speaking to me, as in ONE FUCKING PERSON! You use "y'all" in a plural sense and saying it with the word "howdy" makes you look like an ignorant fool. We don't use that word in redneck fashion which is how I feel it's used when it's said by someone who really believes we all talk like that! Also, I don't use the word "y'all" so if you're saying it to me, to be cute, you don't know me well at all. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. With that said, I don't use that word because I'm the only Texan in my family and growing up my brothers and parents refused to conform to the "southern slang" use of words so I never picked them up myself. So, that's that. Don't use the fucking word to be cool, dude!

Being a "Porn Star"...
Being a "Porn Star" does not make a person unreliable nor does it make someone scum. After watching the news this morning, there's another news story blasting someones credibility because she's an adult film actress. It's disappointing to hear my favorite news anchor speak of such ill regard towards someone just because of what they do. If that was not bad enough she interviewed a lawyer, which is obviously a "professional" and not scum, who, and I quote, said "well, it's obvious she will do anything for money which makes her an unreliable witness."
I don't consider myself to be a porn star, by any means, but it's insulting to think that in today's society there are still such opinionated jackasses who judge others. And, in my opinion, I don't think being a lawyer automatically makes you an expert on other professions. If anything, it makes you someone who will most likely do anything for money and fame...not to say there are not good lawyers out there, I've married a family of lawyers, but I've also met my fair share of porn actresses and I can tell you, it's a business just like any other and there are good people who are having fun making money. That does not make them a bad person. In fact, that makes them smart. They're making money doing what they love.
That's my soap box for today...thanks for enduring my rant. *muah*
