Say soy!
“Cow’s milk actually has traces of morphine it it… along with codeine and other opiates (since they are) naturally produced in cows’ livers and end up in their milk. (The milk protein) casein… breaks apart during digestion and releases a whole slew of opiates. All these “feel good” chemicals exist so that newborns will nurse and thrive, and to ensure a...
“Some people define “class” in an individual as warmth, empathy,...”
– I actually read this in a review of the book, “Audition” by Barbara Walters on Amazon. I thought it was poignant for me especially because it’s what I aspire to be as a human; Although, I think “class” should be replaced with “grace”.
Exhaustion Blogging
It’s four o’clock in the morning and I’m sleepless. Usually, this is when I do the equivalent of “drunk dialing” via email to friends I force to read (or skim) through my drivel. (Drunk as in exhausted and making the same amount of sense.) Then I wake up and regret having subjected someone to my late-night monologue. This time I’ve decided to blog. Who knows, it...
Be fair
A couple of days ago I was talking about how I feel sorry for Bush and the legacy he leaves behind, now I find myself feeling sorry for none other than… Ann Coulter.
If ever there was a human worth of hatred, Ann Coulter is among their ranks. She’s a hateful, full of spite, bitter, terrible human being. However, the other day on The View, I was forced against my will to feel sorry for...
Ommmmm
I’ve noticed my energy being more negative lately and I’ve been trying to force it positive, but it’s hard. It’s like trying to break a junk food habit. Both things are terrible for you while simultaneously tricking you into believing they make you feel better. Being negative works by shielding you from what is really the matter. As they say, “anger is just sadness...
I love George W. Bush.
It’s true. I love George W. Bush. When I saw him speak this morning, I saw a man who was tired and proud. I have tears streaming down my face because I just feel so sorry for him. I keep trying to remind myself why I started to hate him in the first place, but it just doesn’t seem good enough anymore. He was wrong; his actions and his attitude were WRONG, but the fact remains: he is a...
Lucky
I was enjoying a marathon petting session with the Princess Opal and as she was purring away with her face only two inches apart from mine, something occurred to me. You know how on those animal shows where they have exotic animals such as Koalas or Baby Panthers that Zoo Keepers or some such other animal handler gets to cuddle? I always think “OOOOH MYYYYY GOOOOOD! If only I could come that...
Perfection
I spent three hours yesterday searching for the perfect theme for my iPhone because I wanted to change it and couldn’t stand to not have it finished before I went to sleep, even though I kept falling asleep while I was doing it.
I NEED perfection, but in the event of involuntarily becoming unconscious and therefore having nothing at all to show for it, I’ll settle for some pink and a...
“I don’t think I’m better than you, just different…in a good...”
– Me
DG
My parents played these songs for me all the time when I was little. :) It was the Sunshine song by Boxcar Willie, actually, but they don’t have that one so I put Johnny Cash because my mom loved him.
Daddy's Girl
I love my dad so much. He’s a respectable, hard-working man with high morals and values. He and my mom were married for many years and they never fought. He never said an unkind thing to or about her and neither did she. They were companions, partners, equals.
It’s tough to see someone who I have always thought the world of become old; to age and become weaker. I know he’s still...
Pleasantries
If I worked with customers I would say “I hope you have a nice day,” or “I hope you enjoy your day”. I wouldn’t order people to “have a nice day”. Maybe the “hope” is implied and society has deemed it acceptable to omit it in favor of shorter goodbyes and thank-yous. I just think it sounds disingenuous.
Actually, I suppose it sounds...
Love
Clint: Do you ever just want to pick Cupid up and squeeze and hug him?
Mandy: No.
Clint: ...
Mandy: I want to unhinge my jaw and swallow him whole, take him back out, and suck all of my saliva off of every inch of his body.
Clint: Wow...
Note Taker
[ Talking about movies OnDemand ]
Clint: Some kind of Buddha thing is on there.
Mandy: I know. I want to watch it but I want to take notes and I haven't felt like it.
Clint: [ laughing hysterically ]
Mandy: What? I want to take notes so I don't forget.
Clint: I know...
New year, same me
I think people who wait until ‘resolution day’ to resolve to better their lives are unlikely to ever get around to that. It’s like people who vow to lose weight…but only after they get a treadmill; or people who say if they were as rich as Oprah, they’d never be as fat as she is. Well, if you think it takes money to stop eating and to move your ass around a bit, you...
