Transitions

Published on May 8, 2011 in Morton's Pride and Trust. 2 Comments Tags: , .

It’s interesting, I just read on Kate’s blog about a request to change the style of clothing they wear. I’ve had some requests lately too.  The request from inside us has been to dress with more color not just gray T-shirts, white or blue.

We’ve got a ton of skirts and dresses which have been worn a lot more lately but they want color. I don’t wear printed shirts but I’m sure I can find a few colored shirts I’d wear. The funny thing is, I can wear the skirt (solid or printed) but I can’t wear a girl’s blouse, at all. I can’t do that yet.

Private Island

Junior: If I’m ever super rich I’m going to buy and island and live on it and forget all the motherfuckers around me.

Me: If you buy and island and live alone, who will you blame your problems on?

I sometimes have very little patience for this man. What I said to him above was said after a good long rant/rave session about his hatred for religion. I have no idea why but today was his day to rant about Mormons and the Amish. The Amish? Seriously? What did they ever do to you and how could a group of Amish people and their dealings turn you against God? Man, you have issues. I get why he’s upset with Mormons but it doesn’t mean he needs to hate all bicycle riding guys in blue suits. Give me a break. You don’t know those people from jack! No man, good or bad, can take away my belief in my Creator. I also have no need to force anyone to believe as I do or think as I do so why is it that he, an atheist, insists upon shoving his hatred down my throat? Shoving hatred down my throat…. isn’t that what he accuses Christians of, shoving their beliefs down his throat? Funny how I never asked him jack crap about religion but it came up hot!

A Strong Woman – Naonka Mixon

To Naonka Mixon of Survivor 21

I’ll start off by saying I don’t care that you quit the game of Survivor. I mean really, what one endures out there can’t be understood by viewers, so I have no issue with you saying it was too much. What has prompted this entry is your exit speech on being a “strong black woman” from a line of strong black women. I don’t know about the rest of your family, but from what I saw of your behavior I am left to believe you have no idea what it means to be a strong woman.

Crap for Days and Years to Come

Published on November 2, 2010 in For the Record. 1 Comment Tags: , , .

I’ll be happy when this election crap is over! Every commercial is about voting and why one candidate is more trustworthy than the other.

I don’t usually go political on this blog but right now I’m going to have to say a few things. You know what? People don’t learn. They really don’t. When Obama ran for office people were looking for a magician, someone who could turn everything around in the blink of an eye. They wanted someone who could make the depression/recession go away quickly. They wanted a savior but what they got was a human being. They were sadly disappointed.

Izzy

One week old, female, orphaned kitten now named Isabella. I swore I wouldn’t do another foster but once I saw this face what could I do but accept the assignment?

She’s bottle fed every two hours, burped then put back to bed. This little tiny itsy bitsy thing is rather quiet right now but when she’s about 3 weeks old she’ll be much louder in her protests.

Money, Sex and Desperation

Published on August 22, 2010 in Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Fear, Mental Health, Secrets and Confessions and Soapbox. 12 Comments Tags: .

This may sound as if I’m completely out of my mind but I’m writing this as an example of how someone pushed by financial strain can begin to re-think what they would or wouldn’t do for money. What I’m going to say may shock some, others may be able to relate. All that is to say, what you may read here is something you may not have ever thought you’d hear me say but rest assured, it’s something I never really thought I’d seriously consider.

Cell Phones – that little black box

Published on July 31, 2010 in For the Record and Soapbox. 3 Comments Tags: , , .

I have a serious hatred for cell phones. I see them and I mean to tell ya I just want to spit. I’m offended by them because everywhere you go someone has a damn cell phone attached to their ear.  It seems like when they put the phone to their ear common courtesies disappear.  Instead of making eye contact with the cashier or watching your kids, you’ve got everyone in line on the phone. People go up and down the isles talking just as loudly as possible on these little life interrupters. Heck, I have a friend that pisses me off because her phone rings every 20 min or so. I told her one time that we don’t ever have a moment together where it’s just two girls hanging out. It’s me, her and every person in the world calling or texting for the most mundane things.  A two minute phone call every 20 min would get on anyone’s nerves. It seems everything comes second to that phone.
