What You Can
You know, a friend of mine raised a pretty valid point in regards to the Chick-Fil-A issue going on right now. He said, and I quote:
"Everyone who uses motorized transportation realizes that OPEC supports a Radical Islamist agenda which involves KILLING gays, right? But I guess quitting gas takes a bit more sacrifice than quitting a regional chicken ( Read more... ) -
On political correctness...
You know, with all the comedian-related stuff coming up in the last year, I find the phrase "politically correct" thrown around a lot. And I just... I just have to say this. Once and for all.
Do I think that sometimes people are oversensitive? Yes. Do I think that sometimes words and phrases are changed for no real reason? Certainly. But that's not ( Read more... ) -
What Hurts The Most
Over the last two days, having spent some time away from the novel, I've really enjoyed the down time. I've been catching up on my reading, and that's great. I've also been looking forward to the material I'm about to cover. However, there's this phenomenon that occurs when I write.

I personally ( Read more... ) -
Sluts
This whole Rush Limbaugh slut thing has me boiling on a whole bunch of levels. I see a lot of people attacking (and rightfully so) the statement that he actually makes that there's a connection between birth control and sluttery. I don't really see it. I see a connection between birth control and responsible sexual practices, but that's not the ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: Fantastic plastic
Yes, and I have. While I did have legitimate reasons to have some corrective surgery to help my breathing, I certainly didn't mind having a little nip/tuck while they were in the area. Ironically, my septum has since re-deviated, so I will eventually need to get it fixed again, but this time, no shaping.

Beauty-full
This post is the final chapter of what turned out to be an unexpected trilogy of posts about my grandparents. The first was about the loss of my Nonny, my maternal grandmother. The second was about the loss of my paternal grandmother, whom I simply called Grandma. This is for my maternal grandfather, Poppy.
I was on my way to LAX after an awesome ( Read more... )
