oh, the rich white guys

omg
some things just warrant an 'oh my god.' Right here, in the state made for lovers, they want to pass a bill making not only gay marriages illegal, but any kind of contract between 'persons of the same sex' at all. Too much control.

first amendment
uh oh. from a story entitled Black College Women Take Aim at Rappers: "Never before, students say, have the portrayals of black women been so hypersexual and explicit. " rap videos go too far in their portrayals of women, but they have the right to make it and you have a choice whether to watch it.

height does matter
if you know me, then you know that height is the first thing i notice about people. it's the answer to those 'first impression' and 'what first attracts you' questions. this article explains that i am not alone.
"Tall men, a series of studies has shown, benefit from a significant bias. They get married sooner, get promoted quicker, and earn higher wages. According to one recent study, the average six-foot worker earns a hundred and sixty-six thousand dollars more, over a thirty-year period, than his five-foot-five-inch counterpart-about eight hundred dollars more per inch per year. Short men are unlucky in politics (only five of forty-three Presidents have been shorter than average) and unluckier in love. "See my 6' height requirement is not so strange after all.

ha ha bush
this blog has a pic of Bush with the caption:
"A stolen election, a fictitious mandate, a wildly lopsided tax cut, half a trillion dollars of debt, crony capitalism, an obsession with secrecy, a war based on lies, age-old alliances in tatters, overt contempt for democracy, thousands upon thousands dead and wounded. Enough is enough. "Well, that's one way to say it...
songs you love to hate?
Here is the top ten worst songs ever:
1. We Built This City - Starship - 1985Why does Eddie Murphy always top these lists? And where's the Crash Test Dummies? Right Said Fred?
2. Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus - 1992
3. Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung - 1986
4. Rollin' - Limpbizkit - 2000

gay marriage
I am quick sick of hearing about all the disputes over Same Sex Marriages. If you want to marry someone of the same sex, then do. If not, who cares, shut up about it. It is not 'taking anything away' from your heterosexual marriage. Religious nuts say that marriage is for sex and sex is supposed to be for procreation. They argue that if we are not using our 'complimentary capacities,' then it is an insult to God. Bologna. People stopped getting married just for sex a long time ago. And people stopped having sex just for procreation a long time before that.
If this Federal Marriage Amendment passes, changing the definition of marriage to specifically include the words 'man' and 'woman,' then I just might shoot myself. But, you know, it won't pass. There was a time when it was illegal for blacks to get married, and a time when it was illegal for interracial couples to marry, too. Society progressed to eradicate those laws. So, whatcha got Bush, I'm not scared. Oh wait, maybe a little.

I just saw your post. How cute you are...I just emailed you about Jason's birthday a little bit ago. :-) This will be fun.
presidents
who do i vote for?
anyone but bush...
if they really had weapons of mass destruction...they were meant to use at war. why didn't they use them at war? when under attack? because they didn't have them. it is all about $. an elitist government. (think class conflict)
so does that mean i have to vote for kerry?

Happy Birthday to Jason! Today he is 25, and I hope he has countless more birthdays to come! He is the greatest! Love ya! :)
There will be more to come from me!

Around here, we call them locusts (I know it is not correct)
Quick Periodical Cicadas: Every 17 years they show up, make lots of noise for a month, then disappear. If you don't live on the eastern coast, you really have no idea. I even remember them from all those years ago. (I must have been nine). Get ready...they swarm in May...
Anyone got $1,000,000?
The Meaning of Life: Maybe I can talk this guy into selling it to me even though the sell date has past...

Take this quiz and find out how much you are worth
[quiz] Human For Sale: Hang on, lemme check my email for the results...
It's official. I am worth $1,392,900. Maybe it is because I didn't click the IQ box (I don't know my IQ). Anyhoo, I guess that is a good net worth. Here is the proof should I die suspiciously and there is a civil suit.

...and I just saw it again. Can you believe it? Bob Dylan partnering with Victoria's Secret models for a commercial. Is this what the world has come to? Dylan and soft porn?
