Yup. Guaranteed. So for all you emergency workers and emergency room workers, be prepared to get a lot of self-attempts to abort a fetus.
The fact that a ban on abortion has already occurred in a state is very scary. Very scary. Can we just not leave it well enough alone?
Of course not because that is not the real issue. The real issue is that abortion is a right given to women. And that is the problem for most men.
My favorite quote that I have used before in a post, that clearly has a lot of weight attached to it:
“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.”
~Florynce R. Kennedy, 1973
Aside from that, I am thoroughly too disappointed to comment further on this. I am too frustrated.
Okay, you know life is different, or that times are changing. This can easily be measured by certain events that occur in one’s life or the world. For instance, take the Pope getting an iPod. Signs of change? And yet he won’t let Catholic high school sports occur after a certain time on Sundays and not past a certain time during the week. Because he feels that people need to refocus; that we have become too engaged in the current technologies of today.
I love the World. Sometimes.
I have said it for years: we are entering unknown territory. We are entering frontiers that are not ours to enter. And yet, it’s all about the money and being the first to live in a new home, thus the new developments that keep stretching and stretching. I live in a City that is insistent on putting more and more condos in place. And the reasoning? “It will bring back the night life of the City. Our resources will not be drained because we did a study that proved that only adults live in condos, no children.” I just don’t get it.
So when I read this article about the Mountain Lion hanging out in the backyard of someone’s house, I was not surprised. I was surprised that this man shot the Mountain Lion for no apparent reason. Well, dipshit, what did you expect when you moved in there, with woods surrounding you? I live in a wooded area. I have all sorts of animals trampling through my backyard. I KNOW this because I’m not stupid. But, I also keep my animals in at night and watch them when they do go outside for the last piss before bed. And should I see one in the bright of day? I will go inside and wait it out. It could be sick or sunning itself. One will never know. But, I will remember two things: 1) I bought this already existing house that’s more than 20 years old in the middle of the woods, and 2) I’m in the middle of their territory.
I really need to vent on this one.
There has been much hype in the news recently regarding the Olympics. Aside from the lack of extreme controversies (remember the French Judge in ice skating?), the big hype this year is about the TV ratings. Supposedly the TV ratings for these winter Olympics are at an all-time low.
Well, duh.
I remember watching the Olympics on TV when I was little. I remember that there was an entire television channel that was completely devoted to the Olympics; they were on 24/7. I also remember staying up until 1am to watch some Olympic event. Know why? Because back then, the Olympics were filmed and broadcasted LIVE and in real time. There were very few commentator interruptions throughout. Only some updates here and there. And yes, that lasted for the entire duration of the Olympics; it ended when the Closing Ceremonies ended.
Today, I do understand that there are some individuals that lead a rather hectic and involved life. I would consider myself one of them. However, I do know that there are other people in this Nation that do not. Regardless, the broadcasting of the Olympics on real time and live would benefit the hectic and non-hectic alike; some Olympic event would always be on the television. And I do feel that had the Olympics been broadcasted 24/7 on one channel, there would be higher ratings. What’s wrong with that? One word: advertising. The commercials won’t get in, then there’s the shows that won’t get to air. Do I need to give people another wake-up call? The Olympics only happen every FOUR years. In four years, your stupid sitcom probably won’t be on the air. Or if it is…why not extend the season another 2 weeks at the end of the season? What the fuck?
I am quite disappointed with the television cable companies that allow this lack of support to occur. And yet the viewers, the Average Joes, are getting blamed for not watching the Olympics as much. Well no shit because it’s only on for 3 hours every night. Oh and I can read in the paper that day who won the event I am watching right now. So what’s the point, then, in even watching the program that’s all edited and cropped and everything else?!
The Palm Pilot was introduced 10 years ago. And to think now we have Treos (aka Smartphones). Well, it is now 10 years old and very sophisticated for it’s age. At least I think so. Happy Birthday Palm!
I’m too lazy and sore to talk about my first Palm, which I do still have sitting upstairs on my desk waiting to be purged. What do I do with it? Can I sell it on eBay? Would anyone want it? I’ll figure it out sooner or later….
But over time, I am thoroughly thrilled with the smartphone. What would I do without it?
Well, here are some more props to give to the Gays and Lesbians. It’s about time there was more recognition for them. Now there is a new wave of concern over the media (television, music, movies, etc.) as it relates to Gays and Lesbians.
Check out Media Offer New Outlets For Gay Audiences to read about this.
But is it concern or recognition? I feel that the media has always been there. The acceptance factor (of course I’m talking of gays by straights) has not been there. Now that there is more hype concerning the Crossovers (i.e. Brokeback Mountain being the latest) of course there is more attention placed on this “gay culture.” (Ummm…Hi. There is no ‘gay culture’ unless one wants to seriously start calling every aspect of life a ‘culture’).
So, now we have dubbed this sudden interest of the gay life by straights a Crossover. What the fuck? There is a specific term to describe everything that happens!?! How said is that? And it sounds so trendy…..I think that’s what is really bothering me about it all.
There is no trend or culture. This is Life. And we all live a different Life.
