Shut Up @ MindSay 
Plus, don't you get tired of people making everything dichotomous? In my opinion making everything either black or white is one of the most limited ways of thinking. Honestly, I just don't have patience for that crap! Human beings do not always fit into nice, neat, dichotomous categories! You know what else pisses me off about people who limit themselves to black and white thinking? They are the main ones who profess how diverse and multi-layered they are. In other words, they see themselves as complex and multifaceted and everyone else as one dimensional.

I am all for someone speaking their mind …as matter of fact I encourage it .
However if you do not have a clue to what you are talking about.
Then I must say shut the hell up.
That’s right I said it .
If you don’t really know what you are talking about ….then don’t fucking talk about it.
I am one that speaks my mind ….however when I do so I at least have an inkling of what the hell I am talking about.
However if you don’t know then don’t waste people’s valuable time.
It is a very simple rule …if you don’t know then you don’t talk .
So in other words just shut up stupid.
First of all, can we at least admit that Miss USA is a BEAUTY PAGEANT? Enough of this "scholarship" and "representative" nonsense. I've been the recipient of a few scholarships in my time, and none of them involved a swimsuit competition. And let's face it, Miss USA isn't representative of me or anyone I know. She's no more special than a pretty face and a sweet bikini briefly flashing across the camera during an MTV Spring Break special. If you want to participate in a contest that judges you primarily on your outward appearance, be my guest. But at least have the cajones to call it what it is. BEAUTY PAGEANT.
Secondly, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't each Miss USA contestant required to sign a contract outlining what's expected of her should she win? It would be interesting to read that contract and discover exactly what's expected of these young women. I'd lay money that "Girls Gone Wild" behavior isn't encouraged.
Personally I don't give a rat what she does. As previously mentioned, I don't consider her representative of myself or my peers, and her behavior has no direct impact on my own life. However, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that if I sign a contract, and I break the terms of said contract, I'm probably not going to get excused by Donald Trump (or anyone else) and given a second chance. More likely, I'd be firmly reminded of the terms of the contract, and then receive an appropriate penalty. What did Miss USA receive? Thirty days in the hole and a creepy hug from the lecherous Trump. (Story continued below picture...)
For those who are defending her with the excuse that "she's not the only person" to ever engage in such activities, let me ask you this: Should we stop punishing criminals since they aren't alone in their lawlessness? Her crimes weren't violent, but she still broke the law by engaging in underage drinking. And we have yet to hear official results on any drug tests she may be subject to.
And lastly, a few words for Mr. Trump. We all know Rosie is outspoken, and we've known it for a long time. I don't always agree with her, but she has just as much right to speak her mind as the rest of us do. You've always been skilled at making yourself look like an ass, but this time we can see that you not only look like one, but you actually are one. Your name-calling, frivolously litigious, homophobic, threatening, ridiculously juvenile comments are akin to the playground intimidator we all knew in 4th grade. (And you think she's the bully? Pot. Kettle. Black.) If you hadn't counter-protested so much, this would've been on the back burner by now. Maybe Rosie was correct in her assumption that this was a publicity stunt. You're certainly doing nothing to refute that allegation. In fact, I'd venture to say that you're only strengthening the case against you.
Here's a bit of friendly advice. Take a Valium, have a shot of Crown Royal, do some yoga, whatever it takes to loosen up. You're taking this WAAAAAY too seriously. Oh yeah, and lay off the spray-on tanner. Trust me, it's not working for you.
Howdy Howdy all!
Well, what do ya know I had Top Blog #4 for my last entry....I feel pretty darn fancy....
Well my day off was good, mostly because I was OFF and no chumps could bother me with the inane!
I have been thinking a lot lately...I know, I know, that's a dangerous way to live, sitting around thinking all the time, but hey, I can't help it. Sometimes I tend to get lost in my own head and it takes some time for me to find my way out. I can literally spend months alone without looking up or dealing with anyone personally (like yakety yaking with friends for more than a second, just enough time to say "I am still alive"). Truth be told, before I started this blog many of my friends would have to guess at what or how I was doing. Not because I am necessarily secretive (although...some shit will stay hidden away in the vault of my consciousness for all eternity). It is just that I am not a talker really...well not on a regular basis for sure. I don't wanna call someone everyday and have to talk about myself and my life. I think that many people spend so much time focusing on themselves that they begin to do the inevitable and dissect themselves down to nothing. I don't want to fragment to the degree that others are constantly trying to pick up the pieces of my life for me everytime we speak. Now I am talking of course about friends, those folks whom you always love but donot necessarily remain close to geographically, I guess in my case family can fit into the same category.
With lovers it is different I think (longterm couples or 3somes and then somes depending on how you roll
). Maybe it is because with lovers the experiences are processed in terms of how they effect theunit rather than the individual. I know that when I was living with a lover (briefly a million years ago) everything I did was common knowledge and my time felt like community property. I didnt mind at the time but then again I was younger and my tolerance for another mutha fuckas bullshit was balanced with how well they put it down
after a fight (verbal sparring of course). I mean there was endless conversation about everything...and now I just don't have that kinda thing in me I guess. I like that comfortable silence kinda friendship/love relationship...is that so wrong? Can't we sit together and read or write and KNOW that we are still connecting? Do we have to say EVERYTHING we freaking think? Do people even write to each other anymore..when you have to write something you tend to be more careful and real about what you want to tell the other party instead of spewing in sitcom style dialogue a bunch of nonsense thoughts before getting to the point. It must be me.....
On a happy note I am going to see Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty tonight...Woo Hoooo
How About some poetry...here goes...
Human Abstract
Pity would be no more,
If we did not make somebody Poor;
And Mercy no more could be,
If all were as happy as we;
And mutual fear brings peace,
Till the selfish loves increase;
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.
He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears;
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.
Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head;
And the Caterpillar and Fly
Feed on the Mystery.
And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat;
And the Raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.
The Gods of the earth and sea,
Sought through Nature to find this Tree,
But their search was all in vain;
There grows one in the Human Brain.--William Blake
Goddess Bless
