Finally! Scientists have located the actual regions that produce the healthiest red red wine. I say, do they carry it at Woodman's Liquor? I'm like, so there and all.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

He does? Cause like, I haven't heard anything. Apparently Ah-mah-dinnerjacket appeals to the "Noble Americans" to reject US foreign policy. How is it that an appeal to the American people never gets to us? It couldn't be that all of our news media outlets are owned and controlled by the hard-right conservatives who would never hear anything about their sad foriegn policies being wrong. Especially not from the president of Iran! A five-page letter to us urging changes to what the idiot in the oval office is doing? I'm shocked, I say, SHOCKED that I didn't hear it on Pox News.

Thanks to the folks at Feministing for this link. I always feel bad for women who are disfigured by breast cancer. This is a great thing we can all do!

Interesting quiz! Short enough to not be tedius. Gotta love that.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
The Midland
Boston
North Central
The Inland North

Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I dont mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
cause they dont get enough to eat

From god,
I cant believe in you.

Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
cause they cant make opinions meet,
About god,
I cant believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god,
Dont know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it aint and so do you,
Dear god,
I cant believe in,
I dont believe in,

I wont believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
Youre always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And its the same the whole world round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebodys unholy hoax,
And if youre up there youll perceive,
That my hearts here upon my sleeve.
If theres one thing I dont believe in...

Its you,
Dear god.

Which inspiring woman are you?

If your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.

If your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and tell the guy he's a rapist.

Tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.

Don't tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape.

Don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.

Don't imply that it's in any way her fault.

Don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl.

Don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can, too, help yourself.

If you agree, re-post it. It's that important.

Google Docs LOST almost 1000 words of my novel. I logged in and noticed that MUCH is missing. I hope I saved it on my laptop.

Thank you, thank you, Ethiopian sheep herders, for noticing your sheep getting jiggity from eating the berries of a tree. Because of this we have COFFEE. I know it's been a thousand years, but a thank you never comes too late!

Retroactive abortion. I vote for it. Like right now, when I have to CRANK my headphones here in the coffee shop because some fucktards from the christian bookstore have their kids over here running and screaming while I have a headache to begin with. I've taken tylenol, sudafed, coffee, and now a half a diazepam I found in my pillbox. I hope this fucking headache disappears soon.
I've gotten about 1K words toward my story written, and I like it a bit better. Still crap but I'm happy to be writing. I'm not wasting any more of my caffeine buzz on this blog - I've got a novel to work on!!

UPDATE: Almost 3,000 words in just under 3 hours. I'm not unhappy about that. Besides that, I've got a sort-of plot worked out for the novel to move forward. I'm liking this, no matter how much it ends up sucking in the end. And, I am NOT under any illusion about quality! It's all about quantity. =)

What a bullshit story!! I have no idea how it's going to play out,but man, I hope I start gettting some better inspiration soon, or I'm going to start throwing up instead of writing. I will say, however,that the COFFEE helps!! Tee Hee!
