Over a month since my last post

I wish I could say, after a month's long absence, that I have something to whine about besides my fucked up co-workers treating me like a desk monkey, or some of the kids at school acting like a bunch of cackling chickens with gossip and drama... but no. Not today.



Today, the California State Supreme Court has deemed the ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional. I nearly pee'd in my pants when the news was shared on CNN.com. I am so frakkin' happy - although I wish this happened while my partner and I were still in CA and got married back in 2006.

How does it feel to be the "Govunur of Caleefonia" now Arnold?

Thomas Beatie no match for Arnold Schwarzenegger

Thomas Beatie, the "man" who has been deemed as legitimately pregnant, has received mixed reactions nationwide. I for one don't have mixed feelings about her pregnancy. Yes, I am still calling Thomas a "she." I can get away with this. I am a Lesbian and as a member of the LGBT community, I can talk. Thomas Beatie is a Transgender individual. Thomas underwent "the change" about ten years ago; having the breasts removed, there is no possibility for breast-feeding for the baby... or is there? That's issue number one. Number two: even though Thomas changed her legal status so that she may identify and be identified as being a man, she still has the makings of a female, regardless of taking testosterone.

Yes, there's facial hair. Yes, the boobs are gone. Yes, there's a shit-load of armpit hair and elsewhere. BUT... there is no penis. Members of the transgender community have always had a hard time finding a group where they could be accepted, so the Gays and Lesbians took them in... and of course the bi-sexuals became part of the family. No harm done... we gave them a home so to speak. But many have an issue with one main factor - they are only man or woman (whatever they switch to) on the outside. They "feel" like a man or a woman so they want that equal respect accordingly. That's fine. I can accept that. But the media has managed to egg on the controversy even more so by saying that Thomas, as a man, is pregnant. This is not accepted nationwide as not everyone acknowledges "the change," especially the assholes known as homophobics. I find it interesting that Thomas and her partner Nancy came to the decision that Thomas should carry instead of the Nancy who is more than obvious the female role in the couple. No one has bothered to mention the mild possibility that the baby may come out with any possible abnormalities due to the fact that Thomas had been taking testosterone and it's in her system. There are certain forms of nourishment that only a true female body can provide to an unborn fetus, taking into consideration that the woman is in good health and doesn't abuse drugs/ alcohol.

Anyone ever see the movie Junior starring Arnold Schwarzenegger? Now that is over-the-top, and it's to be expected. It was entertaining and not to mention hilarious because, well, it's Arnold! If men were intended to have babies, too, then some women have been going through hell for nothing. I'd like to see the day when women could knock-up men. See how they like it... And no, I'm not a man-hater. I have a best friend who is a man.

I feel for Thomas. I really do. But as long as Thomas has a vagina, Thomas is not a pregnant man. I would really prefer that the media did the over-the-top type stories about a man being pregnant on the National Enquirer or other similar magazines just for the sake of gossip or hearsay. Now that Thomas and Nancy have made an appearance on Oprah, I can almost see the hamster wheel turning in her head, "Now I'm really a man that is pregnant." Sorry, Thomas. But to me you're still all woman with a haircut just like mine, with a little extra body hair.

Clinton's schedule as First Lady - WE MUST KNOW!

It's plastered all over CNN and FOX News. "Click here to see Clinton's schedule as First Lady." "Click here to see where Clinton was during Bill's sexual encounter with Monica Lewinsky." Give me a freakin' break people! ALERT THE MEDIA!!! Hillary Clinton was in the White House when Bill and Monica were getting friendly with a cigar! Have they gone mad? This was 10 years ago! Let... it... GO! I don't care where she was when Bill was thinking up ways to say, "I... did not... have sexual relations with that woman." What the hell does that have to do with her present-day advance in the elections? Oh that's right! Sorry-ass Obama has to think up ways to side-track her to make her lose focus. All he's accomplished is helping those who can't stand him to not be able to stand him even more... AND gave us all a good laugh. CNN, shame on you for even allowing this in your headlines. The Whaaaambulance stopped and took a good look and decided to leave you, the media, on the sidewalk because you're too pathetic to even be picked up and treated. There is no hope for you.

A month away, and no word?

Nearly a month later after my last post... NOTHING has changed. Well, except that I've put on some weight, but hey, that's what overeating due to boredom causes.

I wish I could say that things have improved at my job, but they haven't. I'm still babysitting. One of the bad apples has recently spread the word that they're going to be working for our firm on a contractural basis for the next four months at around two days a week. After that, no more! It could mean less stress for me, but that's not the case. We're going to be relocating to a new office this summer, and the planning and organizing falls solely on my shoulders. whoop-de-fucking-whoop.

So far, the part I have been hating the most about work is answering the damn phone. About 70% of the callers are rude and never give their name when they ask for someone in the office. Those who do give their name drag it out to be a life story - by the time they're saying what company they're calling from, I'm ready to hang up. I have to move on to better things to complain about I guess.

My mom and I email each other everyday. Today, we've talked about what would happen to her if my dad were to die and visa versa. She's put it in black and white what she wants to have done when she passes away and even discussed her life insurance. As awkward and painful as it was to discuss it, I was glad she talked to me about it because now I know exactly how much she trusts me. We've also been going over how bitter we are with my brother and sister-in-law. I'm seemingly having a tougher time getting past their ways of living as heartless idiots, not to say my mom isn't, but she has a more practical approach to things than I do.

I've made a lot of decisions in the past two hours concerning my family. One is that I will never reconcile with my brother because of my sister-in-law. They care more about money; at the same time they go around acting like they're "holier than thou" and they're such good Christians, yet that talk so much crap! I shouldn't be surprised really. They seem to care only about themselves and money. After hearing and knowing all of what my mom had done for him, I'm almost completely ashamed to call him my brother.

Family feuds suck.

Work sucks.

Shit happens.

State vs. Church, again, and again, and again...

You know, after reading up on how and when God was included in the Pledge of Allegiance. This was originally authored by a Christian Socialist author and Baptist minister Francis Bellamy on September 7, 1892 and was meant to be simply: "I Pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all." But then the group called Knights of Columbus, based out of New York felt the need to add a sense of deity, hence the words, "under God." Then there's the the line "In God we trust" on our currency. So much for holding up the Separation of Church from State.

A nobody-atheist in CA is in the progress of filing a lawsuit because of his daughter being forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and since "In God we Trust" is all over our money, he feels his rights have been violated. I've got the perfect solution. USE MONOPOLY MONEY! The government has kept things a certain way to follow tradition, etcetera, etcetera, blah blah blah. So why in the hell are people feeling the need NOW to make a big deal about this crap? Are they that needy for attention? Hell, just don't recite the damn thing and don't use money! It's as simple as that!

"History... Will... Absolve me!"

Fidel Castro is fiddlin' on his fiddle of "woe is me" at home now that he has stepped down as Cuba's notorious ruler after nearly 50 years of ruthless dictatorship. The people of Cuba may say they love the man for what he did, but how many times were they threatened if they were to say otherwise?

Castro is said to have resigned due to his continuing failing health. The man is at the ripe age of 81 years. He could've stepped down decades ago, but as the saying goes, "Power never quenches your thirst." He needed more and it was never enough. Let's see... In 2004 he broke his knee and fractured his arm in a fall during a televised public speech. In August 2006 he “temporarily” handed over power to his brother, defense minister Raúl, after an operation to stop intestinal bleeding. There are still lingering problems related to his intestinal health. Will history truly absolve this Cuban so that he can be recognized more for doing good than harm? Or will this new situation shed light and have karma give him several swift kicks in the arse?

Sandals require skin, not socks!

Frakkin' idiots... I swear, the next time I see a set of feet with socks and sandals on, specifically Teva's and Birkenstock's, I'm chaining their feet down!

Sandals are meant to be worn like an open-toe shoe. You expose your feet for air while having the bottom protected. If your feet are cold, then don't fucking wear sandals! If you want that extra comfort and lightness that a shoe can't provide, wear socks with Crocs!


Jesus people, whatever happened to common sense? Not to mention fashion sense!
