And on the third day, God created the Remington bolt-action rifle, so that Man could fight the dinosaurs. And the homosexuals. (from Mean Girls)

...oh, to be blue in a red state...

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong...from Lauren

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

imagine no possesions



i just heard this song playing outside by my house. they are painting the house next door, and their loud music has been secretly annoying me all afternoon...but, this, i like. someone remade it. maybe everyone already knows that....as i've said before, i'm not very cool, and it's only getting worse.

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...


You may say I'm a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.


*i don't know why i've been feeling all flakey lately, but i just get sad that we adults can't seem to follow the fundamental basics we teach our children...these early lessons are the seeds of human rights and altruism...share...do unto others as you would have them do unto you...stand up for what you believe...stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves...love yourself the way you are...

barbie doll

I've posted the following poem before, but I decided to do it again, because it is so fabulous.

Barbie Doll
By Marge Piercy

This girlchild was born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE stoves and irons
and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.
Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said:
You have a great big nose and fat legs.
She was healthy, tested intelligent,
possessed strong arms and back,
abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.
She went to and fro apologizing.
Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs.

She was advised to play coy,
exhorted to come on hearty,
exercise, diet, smile and wheedle.
Her good nature wore out
like a fan belt.
So she cut off her nose and her legs
and offered them up.

In the casket displayed on satin she lay
with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on,
a turned-up putty nose,
dressed in a pink and white nightie.
Doesn't she look pretty? everyone said.
Consummation at last.
To every woman a happy ending.

Costa Rica


honeymoon pix i took in Costa Rica. beautiful, beautiful country. great culture. great eco-tourism.


"To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase it's usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very properity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed." Theodore Roosevelt




"When one
tugs at
a single
thing
in nature,
he finds
it attached to
the rest of the
world."
John Muir

i love you more than technology...but still i love technology...yes...

no, i don't. where is my post? bah! i posted stuff and can't find it. baaaah!

i'm coming out of the closet


hi everyone. i'm back. i wonder if my little blogger friends are still around...why did i forsake you?

anyways, i decided i was getting bored with talking about fitness, so i'm probably going to talk about stuff that is more important to me. yeah, i'd like to be skinny, but apparently I just like chocolate more than skinny-ness.

i also decided i'm getting bored with writing a journal that's all secretive...life is short, dang it. so, this is me!!

this is my husband and me on a bridge at our campus--we got married this july. thanks for the all the support during that time, by the way--I was in a freakin' panic in the months before the wedding...the idea of everyone looking at me and expecting me to be "pretty" when being pretty has never been a big concern for me caused all kinds of anxiety...but, i ended up having the greatest day ever...and, marriage for bruce and i is just what we hoped it would be...the same as before.

and, this is my dog and i on a typical morning. he was a groomsman in our wedding. he rocks our socks off.

i'm going to go delete SOME secret things now that i'm not sure i'd want some people i know to read. :)
