There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose dick was so long he could suck it.
He said with a grin, as he wiped off his chin,
“If my ear was a pussy, I’d fuck it.”

[14 Apr 2010|02:41pm] |
I'm playing softball this year!!! It's actually a lot of fun. I was a little skeptical at first about playing cuz it was my least favorite sport when I played sports BUT this is not a very competitive team, so it's just for fun. Dope! I forgot, I hate women - how could I play on a team with them? :P haha. More women to compete with me for the sacrad male gaze. haha (for slower folks, this is sarcasm)
What a load of horses shit.
Anywho - I'm batting better than I did when I played back in ole Jr. High - which seems crazy to me. How is it that I sucked so bad then (which was half the reason I didn't like playing, to be honest) and actually connect with the ball almost every time now? Strange. Maybe it has to do with not having as much pressure - after all, I did have anxiety induced asthma back then (they wanted to say it was exercise induced but I know better now). It also could be cuz I lift weights more then I did back then.
I hadn't played in ~15 years. And first practice, it was like I never stopped playing. Things just clicked - sort of like riding a bike or playing an instrument. A little bit of fine-tuning/reaquaintence and I'm back on track.
It's good for motivating me to get off my arse and see some of the friends I tend to neglect (mostly due to distance). I tend to hermit myself quite a bit - with a nose in a book, or painting or whatever, just isolating myself to do my own thing and this is going to make me feel obligated to get out... For someone with social anxiety - the structure is actually quite the "blessing" (and I don't have to get on the phone! yay!). Also - Brandon is real supportive and been playin' catch with me! SO that's a bunch of fun too.

privilege
a poem for men who don't understand what we mean when we say they have it D.A. Clarke reprinted from Banshee, Peregrine Press
Copyright (c) 1981 D. A. Clarke. All Rights Reserved privilege is simple:
going for a pleasant stroll after dark,
not checking the back of your car as you get in, sleeping soundly,
speaking without interruption, and not remembering
dreams of rape, that follow you all day, that woke you crying, and
privilege
is not seeing your stripped, humiliated body
plastered in celebration across every magazine rack, privilege
is going to the movies and not seeing yourself
terrorized, defamed, battered, butchered
seeing something else privilege is
riding your bicycle across town without being screamed at or
run off the road, not needing an abortion, taking off your shirt
on a hot day, in a crowd, not wishing you could type better
just in case, not shaving your legs, having a decent job and
expecting to keep it, not feeling the boss's hand up your crotch,
dozing off on late-night busses, privilege
is being the hero in the TV show not the dumb broad,
living where your genitals are totemized not denied,
knowing your doctor won't rape you privilege is being
smiled at all day by nice helpful women, it is
the way you pass judgment on their appearance with magisterial authority,
the way you face a judge of your own sex in court and
are over-represented in Congress and are not strip searched for a traffic ticket
or used as a dart board by your friendly mechanic, privilege
is seeing your bearded face reflected through the history texts
not only of your high school days but all your life, not being
relegated to a paragraph
every other chapter, the way you occupy
entire volumes of poetry and more than your share of the couch unchallenged,
it is your mouthing smug, atrocious insults at women
who blink and change the subject -- politely -- privilege
is how seldom the rapist's name appears in the papers
and the way you smirk over your PLAYBOY it's simple really, privilege
means someone else's pain, your wealth
is my terror, your uniform
is a woman raped to death here, or in Cambodia or wherever
wherever your obscene privilege
writes your name in my blood, it's that simple,
you've always had it, that's why it doesn't
seem to make you sick to your stomach,
you have it, we pay for it, now
do you understand

| I'm boycotting horror movies... |
[08 Feb 2010|06:08pm] |
So we watched Halloween 2 last week and I'm done. I'm completely bored and done with horror movies.
And the sexualized violence is just irritating.... Are you seriously that BORING zombie? ARE YOU? It's like these men think they are going to do something "different" something that will really shock you but then it's just another pair of bloody fake boobs (that trick was done in the 70's - move on to something NEW, please!). Completely pathetic (creativity? what?). The one horror movie that I've seen recently that I was actually impressed with was Antichrist (and that's more of a psychological thriller). Even though there was some sexualized violence - at least some of it was placed on the man (and actually most of it was, complete with his wife constantly raping him). Nice to see a mutilated penis in a horror flick for once (to watch my boyfriend squirm the way I have to for every horror flick, haha - NOT because that kinda thing turns me on), and nice to see the woman being the one chasing down men. Of course it wasn't popular among the guys. It was either because of the penis mutilation or because the woman's body was shaped more like mine than a playboy model. haha (poor boyz - no implants!).
After watching Halloween 2 - I actually had a nightmere, the first one in 20 + years??? It wasn't like a wake up sweating type of nightmere but it got into my dreams (the movie, that is) and I started thinking about this - why aren't women as excited about horror movies as men? Well Bingo - I figured it out. It's the same reason women don't like typical porn as much. Because it's sexualized degredation/violence against women AND when are men ever "hunted" down in the same fashion that women are hunted down in horror movies?(okay okay, mention the TWO movies in the past five years and I'm suppose to ignore all the typical BS?) YES, men are killed. Yes, men are tortured. But men are rarely the ones running through the woods half naked (don't forget the blood splattered all over her!) with the "evil" chasing after them and over-running them - even with a 20 minute head start. I'm willing to bet that a good 95% of horror movies have this same EXACT dynamic. Which is pretty sad...(man hunting women).
And horror movies make women look stupid. They really do (same with most porn - to be honest). There's always that dumb woman like, "OH knows - my BOYFRIEND, I need to go back and save HIM"(I'd leave his ass in a second!) and when she goes back, she's murdered on the spot (are you surprised a woman is willing to sacrifice herself to save her "man"?). Or they are screaming through the woods... which is totally stupid. That wouldn't actually happen UNLESS it was in a populated area and you knew someone would hear you. Or the classic - "the boogy man is outside, I'm going to turn on EVERY light in the house." UGH.
Even in that French movie (why is the name escaping me now?) where the woman was actually the murderer - when the murdering was happening - they put her alter-ego in as a MAN (and so you only see the man hunting down her friend - instead of her). I'm just like WTF? Her alter ego couldn't be a tough chainsaw wielding woman?! The HORROR!
Fucking ameteurs. That's what they are...
I could write a script for a horror movie that would shock the fuck out of everyone and you know how easy it is? Sexualize violence against men. That REALLY freaks men out - to see blood squirting out of some guys cock (which is prolly why I never heard about Antichrist until my bf's brother sent it to us).
I got through most of Halloween 2 and I was actually thinking "My god, Zombie didn't put a pair of fake bloody tits in this movie." but sure enough, I thought too soon. So predictable.
It just goes to show how shitty the people making these movies think their own movies are... If you have to use "sex" to sell your shit (or dehumanize women for insecure men to like it), it's shit. I'd be impressed with a movie that is so good, it doesn't need that element. But I guess I shouldn't expect much from zombie - all his songs sounded the same, so I suppose all of his movies will too.

It seems like most porn (even alternative/soft porn is mostly generic) is the new "liberal" 50's housewife. It's just another agency - like religion - to degrade women and to actually take their power away. They call it empowerment - I call it another shackle. The only difference is that one is a house object, and the other a sex object. What other ways could we come up with to keep women subordinate to men?

Well, it looks as though Brandon, Molson and I are going to be moving into a house! It's right up the street from where we are now, so it will still be quite the travel to get to work but it will be great to have the privacy. Not to mention the HUGE lawn that Molson will be able to enjoy. There are three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, a dining room, kitchen-living room area, mud room, one car garage, and a basement we might look into fixing up (it already has two rooms made but the basement needs a lot of work to make it look nice). The best part about it - I'll be able to have a sewing area and I could set up an area for painting in the basement - this might be a good opportunity to try painting with oils (I wasn't about to start that in our apartment - which has white carpets and very new kitchen floors). Brandon will finally get to set up his drums - I think I will sound proof one of the basement rooms for his use (I'll make some things with my dads wood shop and some of the extra foam we have kickin' around).
I can't wait for November to get here!

| Quotes against violence: |
[13 Jul 2009|06:10pm] |
All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the pathetic fallacy.
- John Ruskin
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
- Isaac Asimov
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction.
- E. F. Schumacher.
One simply cannot engage in barbarous action without becoming a barbarian ... one cannot defend human values by calculated and unprovoked violence without doing mortal damage to the values one is trying to defend.
- J. William Fulbright
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.
- Thomas Edison

Brandon's b-day this Sunday! I got him an Amazon gift card (at his request). I sent the message, "You have the best ass, I can't wait to spank it on the 12th!" He totally does have the best ass. When I consider dumping him, all I have to do is picture his bum and those thoughts go out the window!! haha, playin' of course.
I can't wait for work to be over with. I want to go home and enjoy the weather, maybe sit on the patio (I really wish I had a rocker) with a brew and some good happy music (like Bow or Sometymes Why or Neil). Or maybe I'll go on the patio and just pick on my mandolin a bit (my skills are getting better - even though I go through month long breaks from it). Haven't touched it since we've been back from vacation. OR maybe I can get some more pages of War and Peace read (I read like 200 on vacation). I finally hit page 500! ONly 500+ to go! It's a great read though (if my last copy hadn't been destroyed by a pudding explosion, it woulda been long done). I think everyone should read it. Most people expect it to be really boring and blah. It has parts like that but most of it actually pulls you right in. It just shocks me to think about all of those 16 yr old girls getting married - sometimes falling in love with 30/40 yr olds... Ick.
Of course - it IS Friday, so I'll probably get distracted by people dropping in.
