Posts That Didn't Happen

I still find Facebook pretty vapid. I'm more of a FB voyeur. I read what other people post, maybe comment, but rarely do I post. I change my picture every week, but that is just for my own amusement. I do think of things I could post, but upon relfection, I back down. Is it funny? Will people comment on it in a way I like? The following are posts I thought of but didn't do.

"If oral sex is a blowjob, and manual manipulation is a hand job, why isn't sex a vaginajob?" (Stolen from How To Make Love To Adrian Colesberry by Adrian Colesberry.)

"Who would you like to be stuck in an elevator with?"

"If I could fuck my way to the top I'd be on the fucking top."

"Everyone thinks they are a good driver. Everyone thinks they are good at sex."

"Who doesn't like to have fun?"

"Life gets easeir as you get older. You just stop giving a shit."

"Someone asked me why I am single; I'm cute and handy. One word: actresses."

"I'm busy talking myself out of shit all the time. (Don't touch that. Don't do that. Put that down!)"

"I don't give a shit what your mommy told you. You are not special. You can't park there! Fuckhead."

"I really need a good snog. (Or a sweaty 3 hour fuck.)"

"So if you are perfectly healthy you can get health insurance. If, say, your foot is tweaked needing something in a few years you can't get coverage."


Sometimes I read posts that say "I just made my kid a PB&J sandwich." Great. You're feeding your children. It's your job as a parent. All parents do it. I'm not sure if the mundane everyday things in life should be celebrated in this trivial matter. It's Life. We all do it until we are dead. How about:

"Simplify, simplify, simplify." Henry David Thoreau.

Democracy Sold Out 1/21/2010

The Supreme Court has just overturned any law that might restrict corporations or unions from spending anything they want to on an election. Corporations are considered individuals by the Law. And now as an individual with the right to Free Speech they have the right to spend any amount they want on campaigns.

Unlimited corporate spending. Think about it. They like a pro-business candidate, they can create ads for him. They can blanket a market with TV and radio ads. The candidate doesn't even have to be involved in it. You thought attack ads were too much this past election? Think about attack ads brought to you by the deep pockets of Phillip Morris.

You want to get into polictics? Try to change the world? If Bank of America doesn't like you they will outspend you with an unlimited budget. Think the Supreme Court which changed the Law will do anything? Not after the President (brought to you by Haliburton) appoints justices who are friendly to the corporations.

In any Orwellian nightmare where the corporations run things, well, this is how it starts.

I'm moving to, uh, New Zealand. Or Australia. Or any of the other democracies on the planet who have some control on the corporate sector and the good sense not to let them run fucking amok.

Uncertain Times

I haven't written much lately. I was without a computer for awhile when housesitting at a lovely house in Culver City. Because I lacked a computer screen to look at I watched seasons 1 & 2 of Battlestar Galactica, and season 4 of The West Wing. I just traded one screen for another. BSG is an awesome series. I forgot how good until I sat for several large blocks of time and watched it uninterrupted on a big screen TV. Which is an awesome thing. I'd get one, but that is at least a month's rent. Maybe two.

Being without email was inconvenient though I was able to get basic email on my cell phone. I couldn't open any attachments or look at photos.

With all the stuff going on in Haiti and the aftermath of the earthquake, the people dying and starving, I didn't feel like the things I might write about really amounted to much. It would be me making snarky comments about things. And there's enough of that on FOX.

I have been comparing the coverage of the earthquake on FOX and MSNBC. Fox barely covered the tragedy at all. It was a issue used to villify the Obama administration. How quickly they addressed the problem in relation to how quickly they commented on the underwear bomber. These two things are apples and EARTHQUAKES. A guy on a plane failed to blow it up and an earthquake devastated the poorest country in this hemisphere. 200,000 feared dead. Mass graves, buried bodies. No food, human suffering that is unimaginable to us in the US. The scope of it is so beyond what we can comprehend, it doesn't compare to a guy on a plane. It's absurd. FOX should be ashamed of itself.

But what does Palin think? (Does Palin think?)

So I have been quiet as I ponder my life. How to pay rent for Febuary? It's a timing thing at this moment... What checks come in and when...

Underwear Bomber

The Christmas day bomber, now going to be known forever as the Underwear Bomber, from the flight to Detroit slipped thru security due to people not paying attention to a few red flags.

He paid cash for his one way ticket. Almost $2800 and he had no luggage. Just a small backpack. Warning! Pull this guy out and search him a bit more than that.

I do like the fact that the passengers were paying attention and kicked this guy's ass. Hijacking is no longer a guy with a gun wanting to go to Cuba. Passengers are not meekly submitting to a threat. They are actively going to fight to survive or thwart the attack. 2 times these would be bombers had equipment failures. Shoes didn't blow up and the guy's crotch caught on fire.

America is fighting the last war on terrorism with tactics gleaned from all previous attacks and failed or foiled attacks. The terrorist are looking at things as they are now, how they work, and trying to find a way around them. They are being proactive. We are being reactive. TSA needs to push the envelope and think outside the box. Or cave.
