Twilight
A bunch of attractive, shirtless vampires: We want to have sex with Bella.
Edward: No, she's mine.
New Moon
A bunch of attractive, shirtless werewolves: We want to have sex with Bella.
Edward: No, she's mine.
Truly compelling tales. It's no wonder that millions of thirteen-year-old girls are enraptured by this. |

I've recently been concerned with the state of humanity. I know that this is extremely vague, but I don't feel comfortable with specifics right now. There are some things that I've been afraid of. Lately, it's transfigured into more of a helpless sadness- a realization that there are some things which I am powerless to change. Anger at certain things I see..
Please don't take it personally.
I can't blame anyone for their course. Rather, anger is inspired when I see certain people or things.. anger or sadness or both, because I am reminded of why things have come to be this way. At least, from my thoughts and recollections and theories. Because of the careless, greedy, and debilitating actions of certain people and groups in power today and from generations ago...
Yeah. Way to go, me. Anyway, I was encouraged by a Tarot reading to post this.
...If I told you to do something...something that would involve you giving up something you <i>really</i> wanted in order to secure a pleasant and stable future for our children, would you do it?
Would you trust me, even if it was more of a hope than a guarantee?
I don't think I will.....I don't know if it would be right of me to. So, I won't. For now, anyway. There is still so much more than I need to consider and to learn. I'm constantly afraid that I am merely being selfish and delusional.
I just hope I don't live to regret it. Ever have that happen? You keep your mouth shut about something, afraid of stepping on someone's toes, and then you regret it later?
I guess...perhaps it doesn't even matter. People will find their happiness, one way or another.
Hmm. I'll be satisfied with that, for now.

This little gem of horror (I scare myself when I look at it, anyway) came from a juxtaposition exercise in digital video editing class. Basically we were to show a picture of a reaction, then a picture of what is being reacted to, then show the reaction again. Alfred Hitchcock explains this 'Kuleshov Effect'.
Anyways, you can probably imagine what I was reacting to.

I wasn't acutely aware that times are changing and that women are beginning to earn more than men in the workplace, and hold more jobs. Should I care? Should I in some way respond to this with actions now that you have informed me?
No.
I'll keep doing my job. They'll keep doing theirs. If a woman can land a decent-paying job that they are qualified for, just as I have, then that's fair and fine. If I start slacking off, it's my ass. If I want to keep up, I'd better keep studying and learning and working hard. If a woman or another man wishes to advance, holding that person back does not truly help me advance at all. Rather, I would be staying in one place and preventing another individual from realizing their true potential.
My issue with CNN's report about this is that they are presenting this as if it were a war between men and women.
It isn't.
And it should never be.
((As an added note, after hearing some further commentary from guest speakers on the show, I wish that people would stop trivializing the life of a housewife. A woman who willingly keeps a house and responsibly raises children with love and discipline is infinitely more valuable than any C.E.O., and works twice as hard. She also does so for free. There is no money. No greed. No petty competition or corruption. Cultivating the future of a new life is no small task.))
I hear crickets in the distance.
I guess I've wasted enough breath for one post. |

Laughter is my health care plan. I offer it for free, available to anyone and everyone. It is a limitless resource.
Laughter, an embrace for coming and one for going, occasional tears, and eventually, laughter again. Always laughter somewhere, through someone and passed onto someone else. And once it comes back to me, I'll use it and send it on its way again to anyone around.
Take as much as you need, and don't forget to share.
Call me in the morning. |

IDEA: send a message to all the banks that decided to off-set their grand fuck-up by raising the cost of credit on the average consumer, who also happen to be the average taxpayer that paid to break them out of this mess of their making.
HOW?
Each of you should go through your credit cards -- dig up the one that has the highest APR. (Be certain what that APR is -- many banks have been stealthily raising those rates in the recent months.) When you find that card, call the number on the back of the card...
...and close out that account. Turn off the card. Quit that bank. Chop the card into several tiny pieces.
Be sure to tell the customer representative on the phone why you are closing the account -- if they forget to ask.
No doubt, you'll have a balance yet to pay, and possibly some left-over fees. And to top it off, you won't have that credit card as an option the next time you find you'd like to spend more money than you currently have. Deal with it. You will be far better off if you pay the balance down and learn to live with less credit in the long-run.
SPREAD THE WORD
This message won't be heard unless those banks see a significant drop in their customer base due to their high APR practices. Credit card company satisfaction rates are at their lowest ever, and they still have not stopped raising their rates. A mass exodus may be the only way left for consumers to regain control over the banks. Support the new initiative on reform measures in Congress, and call your representative to show your support -- but don't wait for Obama to try to reign in the credit card companies. |

NO, I MEAN IT THIS TIME. I HOPE HE DOES. HERE IS WHY:
YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. I DO NOT CARE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR DO NOT LIKE IT. I DO NOT CARE WHETHER YOU ARE FOR IT OR AGAINST IT. STOP. TALKING ABOUT IT.
WHY NOT TALK ABOUT SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL.
I do not want to hear about the everyday lives of celebrities and famous people.
That is not news.
That is gossip.
AND IF I WANTED GOSSIP, I WOULD AGE FIFTEEN YEARS, BECOME A HOUSEWIFE, GO TO THE FUCKING HAIR SALON, AND RUN MY MOUTH OFF ABOUT MEANINGLESS SHIT WITH ALL THE OTHER MIDDLE-AGED HOUSEWIVES WHO HAVE NO CONCEPT OF HOW TO GO OUT AND DO ANYTHING INTERESTING OR MEANINGFUL WITH THEIR FREE TIME, THANKS TO GENERATIONS OF OPPRESSION BY OBESE WHITE CHRISTIAN MALES WHO ARE EVEN MORE BORING THAN THEY ARE.
I AM GOING TO DESTROY THE MEDIA

I was going to say something against this.
But I suppose it would not be politically correct for me to judge how other people conduct their dedicated relationships. |

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.
These words were from Nicole:
1. KITTIES - HELL YES KITTIES. I love kitties. I know a few. They're pretty cool. In fact, I'd like to own one again someday. I might name it Razputin.
2. PENUMBRA - Holy crap that game. It scared the pants off of me. And then I had to put my pants back on so that I could crap my pants. I wanna go home and play it some more :(
3. ARDOR - See 'Destroyer of'
4. WEBCAM - Yay D: I don't use mine often enough. It's cool for taking weird pictures to edit later, and also for talking to my friends :)
5. HATS - I dig hats. I own one or two. They're pretty handy for blocking out the sun when you want to take a nap, or just looking cool. |
