Don't know what I would do without her.

Don't forget to log out of my computer ;)

Crystal, you scandalous hoodrat

One Marriage, Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for None

I am less interested in the religious/political "qualifications" of something like proposition eight, and more interested/terrified, by the true root of where the desire for such propositions come from. And you can call it preserving marriage, pleasing God, saving our future, or whatever bold Thomas Hardy novel-esque title card you want to place on it, but this fear, this plan, and this hope of the people behind the proposition comes from hate. I recently, saw "8, The Mormon Proposition" and beheld in the film, a pro prop eight picketer say "I don't want to get fucked in the ass by a queer"...and in my mind, I screamed, "THERE IT IS". Beyond all the propaganda and bull shit, that is the true root of this desire to deny homosexuals happiness and equality. In the eyes of a man like this, they are disgusting, vile, and perverted creatures of sin. Well, on a personal note, I am surrounded by gay people. Singles, couples, families, artists and accountants, and, hey, guess what, my ass hole is doing just fine. It's been un-intruded! It's almost as if, oh my, it's not a fucking infectious disease.

Now, those last few sentences were rather accusatory and angry. I do not want that inescapable rout of emotion for me, to cloud what I feel is a rather ambivalent opinion I have on the situation at hand. I respect religious beliefs. Even those that do not pertain to me. The same goes for societal standards. But just as I have never, and neither has my family, gone knocking on the doors of nuns, priests or evangelical crusaders, telling them how their beliefs are wrong, I will not accept those people doing the same to me, and those I care for. When this proposition went through, it blurred the lines of decency, opinion, religion and politics. Something as complex, emotionally driven, and life changing, as a relationship with a power that is deemed to be so much stronger than we little humans could ever be, should NEVER tangle with the likes of paper work, media, mass ruling, money and rudimentary condemnation. This brings me back to what I said about the world I was a part of, making this film in San Francisco. These, yes, even self proclaimed "freaks of nature" that surrounded me, have turned out to be, some of the most decent, kind, understanding, and loving human beings I have ever known. All of those words being the fundamental gifts of Jesus Christ.

It seems, at times, the Americans who hate homosexuals are just as quick to bastardize Hindus. Well, I'm sure they would find a lot more links and holes in beliefs in common than they would hope to find. Women, African Americans, the Handicapped and all of the so called, at one time or another, "second class citizens" have been punished and then years later, as human progression catches up, forgiven and respected. Even if it is only on paper.

I ask of you, my fellow age bracket, to hold on to your beliefs and opinions, whatever they are. But let them be your own. Don't place all of your thinking on a line in the book. Because at that rate, let's go stone the wives. They're of equal importance, those teachings, right? Pretty soon, if you're not listening to the radio or watching Transformers 3, you'll be condemned too. There will be some other line discovered that talks about music played backwards and movies that play at one screen theaters.

I'm sure the three people that might stumble upon this will find many typos, say I'm a raging liberal, ass hole, idiot, west coaster; so be it. I'm just a lady, who has seen so many people: religious, straight, atheist, gay, artist, political, believer, go through the pain and brutality we ourselves ever so deserve.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a gift for all. Let's not abuse it.

To my brothers and sisters, who are gay, straight, preachers, "different", you have my ovte for your happiness. For all we know, it may be short lived, but today was a small victory for all of you as propostitoin eight was overturned, and I celebrate with you on this. I march for you, and I pray for you; may the cruelty of man's judgment some day reach the divine grace.

This system is weak.
We are the strong ones.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Hmmm...the industry calls Lara Stone a “curvy model” when she’s just a toothpick with big tits. Oh, fashion. You are so stupid and lovable.

Live

Death is too easy, bitch.
I want you to suffer.

Ooo

I love how she looks when she’s poisoning her master.

bow down, bitches.

Christina Hendricks: as close to a real life Jessica Rabbit as we’ll ever get. Bow down.

"It's funny how one summer can change everything. It must be something about the heat and the smell of chlorine, fresh cut grass and honeysuckle, asphalt sizzling after late-day thunderstorms, the steam rising while everything drips around it. Something about long, lazy days and whirring air conditioners and bright plastic flip flops from the drugstore thwacking down the street. Something about fall being so close, another year, another Christmas, another beginning. So much in one summer, stirring up like the storms that crest at the end of the day, blowing out all the heat and dirt to leave everything gasping and cool. Everyone can reach back to one summer and lay a finger to it, finding that exact point when everything changed."

- Sarah Dessen

when seahorses find a mate, they hold tails, and have that one mate for the rest of their lives. when the mate dies, they do too.

Oh My.

I adore her. A great actress, an oscar and golden globe winner, an absolute natural beauty, an amazing strong woman with a kind heart that helps so much people. I think its awesome how much she changed from being that crazy ´I dont know what I want and where I belong to´ chick to that successful woman/mother/wife.

I know someone.

I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,
Just to see my partner's face.
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose

I'm Gonna Walk All Over You.

Loved them.

Addiction is a decision. An individual wants something, whatever that something is, and makes a desicion to get it. Once they have it, they make a decision to take it. If they take it too often, that process of decision making gets out of control, and if it gets far out of control, it becomes an addiction. At that point the decision is a difficult one to make, but it is still a decision. Do I or don’t I. Am I going to take or am I not going to waste my life or am I going to say no and try and stay sober and be a decent person. It is a decision. Each and every time. A decision. String enough of those decisions together and you set a course and you set a standard of living. Addict or human. Genetics do not make that call. They are just an excuse. They allow people to say it wasn’t my fault I am genetically predisposed. It wasn’t my fault I was programmed from day one. It wasn’t my fault I didn’t have any say in the matter. Bullshit. Fuck that bullshit. There is always a decision. Take responsibility for it. Addict or human. It’s a fucking decision. Each and every time

The three of us are a team. We'll get through this, like we always do.

Elaine,

The wishes might not come true the way you think they will, not everything will be perfect, but love will come because it always does, because why else would it exist and it will make everything hurt a little less. You just have to believe in yourself.
