On Christmas day, it seems I blew the engine on my car. I will be unloading my Kid Rock collectibles, Paradime Collectibles, and TBT Collectibles. My Car is going to cost me 3 Grand to repair, and I need all the funds I can to make sure I have a vehicle. So, in the upcoming days, be ready to bid, donate, and help a cause much greater then u may think. I am also organizing a benefit show...
Happy Trails
I got one fer ya-- I woke up from a dream a Devil without a cause had a dream of a black chick ,white guy in the background i heard the Party Ode.Today im feeling like a Gangster from the Oldschool.
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can

Independent Lens: Detropia
Mondays, May 27, 10-11:30pm
Detroit was the birthplace of the middle class, an industrial utopia where anyone who worked hard enough could experience the American Dream. In the past three decades, the city has seen its might crumble as oil prices spiked, the auto industry declined and the middle class began to disappear. This new film chronicles the lives of several Detroiters trying to survive and make sense of what is happening to their city.
Once upon a time, a Kid Rock show in Detroit was something all my people wanted to go to. It was the cool thing to do, the cool place to be, a good time for all. Now my mom wants to go, my aunt calls for tickets, and my teachers from High School frequent the shows. Once upon a time, he was a devil without a cause, now he is all religous during his shows, making me feel as if he is a zealot without a cause. The lyrics and content used to be on the edge, its what made him who he is, now its pathetic and same ole same ole. Why do I hold on?
Our nation has lost so many job's to the over seas market's.We as a people need to pull together and try to find some answers.That's why I ask for help, the car manufacture's worker's that have been employed in Detroit for ever basically have been told to go home with disbelief and regrets.
Please, I'm sincerely asking for answers.
Would you follow me with your concerns.
Ms.Elin,, thank you// I love Kid Rock

I was raised with the notion ONLY BUY US MADE CARS................I would to this day not purchase a foreign made car unless I know somehow profits were to go to a good cause or the USA in some way. I drive a Chevrolet Baby!!!!!! It's all ways been Chevy or GMC for me.
Need more people with this attitude. Or a government that taxes people extra for buying foreign cars.

Ms. Elin, once again KevR, you have amazed me with some insight. It is almost like America or the people in our great nation have been living beyond there means for some time as you know. I have been trying to say this for a while now
and all I get is laughs an people say that I am crazy or something. That's why I all ways say that people should be diverse in all ideas and if possible have some sort of back up plan. You see GM and Dodge have had to take a bail out plan to try and bring them back up. This could possibly be for a few more reasons other than yours. Okay, like reasons being the job market, with other cars manufacture's over seas, or other brands i.e. Toy. Niss. and so forth.
But also, we I'm saddened to see factories in the Detroit area with weeds growing up in the sidewalks and the cracks of these manufacture facilities if you feel me.
Ms. Elin has more insight now on a grander scale, thanks KevRock

Workers were laid off because companies could not afford to pay many of their outrageous salaries. This comes from many different reasons, 1) People who buy foreign cars 2) American Car Companies not being able to adjust to the high gas proces a few years ago 3) no longer a need for many of these workers.
Listen, I am sympathetic as anyone, I too lost my job with Ford Motor Company. A Company I served for 14 years. However, The economy and everything else blamed was also an excuse to rid themselves of some of the employees who quite frankly were not needed. They were able to hire people in the replace them at half the wage (14 bucks an hour) and are now starting to show the road to recovery.
The most unfortunate part, is most of the plant workers are no
same here homie
my dream is a gmc truck
but i drive a pontiac whic is gmc so

The most unfortunate part, is most of the plant workers are not very educated and have no where to turn. It's hard to be 40 plus years old, and not have any skills beyond that of screwing on a lug nut. Its horrible that many of these men and women were able to feed, shelter, and clothe families while also enjoying some of the luxuries of life only to have it all taken away. There is no fix. Each individual needs to look at themselves and find a way to escape the hell they are in.
The most important word in this post is REGRETS. Some of the people who have lost their jobs should regret their piss poor work ethic.
