Come Perry Farrel kneel before Zoz

So, I've been going through my notebook/folder for my little project. Not only do I love reading my own stuff but I love reading what other write about me.  This is why blogging is great.  It's a place where people who THINK they are special and unique can post things about themselves and what they find interesting or humorous.  However, in reality no one actually cares.  It's a good alternative to putting a picture of myself on my dresser with candles around it and praying in front of it.

Come Perry Farrel kneel before Zoz by Jason Sharif

Upon further reflection I have come to the conclusion that cute personified is not quite the most accurate description of what she is.  Certainly ennui-challenged is appropriate, and there is no denying cuteness.  In what limited capacity I have known her I would say the Zoz experience is not one that exudes cuteness however, but rather one of a varying sort--layered through complex facets and winding tunnels all leading to the much sought after center of the labyrinth.

 Bunnies are cute, kittens and puppies and koala bears.  Babies are cute, except the ugly ones.  Rainbow Bright and Strawberry Shortcake were cute.  The Zoz is something else.  She is what we all thought Punky Brewster would have grown up to become, or a non bull-lesbian version of Jo from the Facts of Life.  She embodies individuality without the faux alterNative unoriginality which plagues most ‘eccentrics’ softly and silently banging their head against apparent conformity.  She is the one laughing at the joke whispered by the birds as they circle potential balding targets at the market square,  the one dancing in the torrential rain to a song only heard by the staggering trees, the one the sun bows to on the most sweltering of days.

That is not to say she is without fault or flaw—we all have our kryptonite, even those whom Superman could not defeat.  But her frailty is an internal struggle, the likes of which most have not even the capacity to experience much less endure.  Her weakness is what Plato referred to affectionately as the internal conflict, a condition where man (or woman) struggles to find solace within the confines of their own mind.  It is a journey of self study and introspection, the kind only those astute enough to recognize their fragile humanity can embark on.  Many of us have been on this journey, even more still on it.  She like most has yet to find her place in that passage.  Alas such is the life of the cerebral wanderer.

I need this. haha!

Yay! Christmas!

MMM....See...this is why I love Christmas.  I can wear fun socks and people don't think I'm weird....glorious. 

 

So true!

Sustainability isn't about the quick fix or the cheap solution. Generally it means making a commitment and trying, as best we can, to honor it. In any worthwhile enterprise, from protecting the environment to preserving a relationship, we are going to encounter difficulties. The good life is not a problem-free life. In point of fact, the process of overcoming adversity often produces some of the most rewarding experiences we will ever have. Human beings need to be challenged to 'test their mettle,' as it were. Throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble or small inkling of distress may be the easy thing to do, but it doesn't help our self-concept. Most of life's troubles can be overcome if we are willing to work through them with patience.

After a While

After a while you learn

the subtle difference between

holding a hand and chaining a soul

and you learn

that love doesn't mean leaning

and company doesn't always mean security.

And you begin to learn

that kisses aren't contracts

and presents aren't promises

and you begin to accept your defeats

with your head up and your eyes ahead

with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child

and you learn

to build all your roads on today

because tomorrow's ground is

too uncertain for plans

and futures have a way of falling down

in mid-flight.

After a while you learn

that even sunshine burns

if you get too much

so you plant your own garden

and decorate your own soul

instead of waiting for someone

to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure

you really are strong

you really do have worth

and you learn

and you learn

with every goodbye, you learn...

meh

I sure do like "blogging" and such.  However, I hate that it's all public.
I may seem like a boring lady lately....however, that's not the case.
I just can't say what I really wanna say....

This site sure is cute cute cute. Yep cute cute.

When Knitta Please first began tagging in 2005, yarnbombing was the collective's response to the mass-produced. By inserting handmade art in a landscape of concrete and steel, they were cheekily adding warmth
to our urban fixtures. Knit graffiti reengages us with our environment: the parking meters, buses, bike racks, lamp posts, car antennas, columns, statues, exposed plumbing, all of the furniture in our urban world that goes unnoticed every day. And of course, Knitta makes the streets prettier along the way.

awwww

This is HILARIOUS!!! Thanks Mike!!

Plastic Operator - The Long Run

Tomorrow has hit me by surprise
Is it me, or did today just pass me by
It should be alright in the long run
It should be alright if I'm holding on
It takes a while to get up when things let you down
True
But I've got time.

This song is pretty much my life. Miike Snow - Animal

but I'm still I'm still an animal 
Nobody knows it but me when I slip
I'm still an animal

How Psychopaths View Their World

• Most psychopaths are very arrogant and cocky. However, when charming  a potential victim, they say all the "right" things and make you  believe they are kind-hearted souls; not always, but often enough.  The truth is, psychopaths are not altruistic and do not really care  about friendships or ties. Guggenbuhl-Craig states that they are very talented at appearing much more humble than the average person, but  are hardly so. Some are also able to feign concern about the lower  classes and profess that they are on the side of the underdog, the  poor, and so forth. A psychopath may claim, for instance (if he's  from a low socio-economic class), that he dislikes rich people  intensely, but at the same time, he will inwardly yearn and envy what  they have. He is like the narcissist, desiring to reflect a false  image of himself through his possessions. Among his possessions are  included human beings: girlfriends, wives, and children. Some psychopaths can even very fond of animals (contrary to the common  viewpoint), but still view them as objects in relation to themselves. 
• On the flip side, the psychopath also often paints a picture of  himself as the downcast anti-hero (his "own worst enemy type") and  some like to see themselves as lone-wolves. The psychopath may even  claim he is sensitive and profound, but inside he is nothing but  emptiness and greed. Whether or not the psychopath is aware of his  behaviour is something that is often debated. I do believe that  psychopaths usually know exactly what they are doing, although others  suggest that psychopaths are "born, not made." 
• As mentioned, psychopaths often claim to settle for second best  (being their own worst enemy) and then think they deserve better.  This may be manifested in the way they seek power -- either through  money (i.e. material goods), manipulation and/or treating people as  objects. By enacting such behaviours, the psychopath is also trying  to "get back" at society and the world, in order to gain retribution.  They will spend their entire lives doing this, whether they are rich  or poor, or whatever their social background may be. 
• What is very disturbing about psychopaths, besides their sense of  special entitlement, is the complete lack of empathy for normal  people, for "antisocials (psychopaths) seem to lack a conscience,  feeling little or no empathy for the people whose lives they touch...the antisocial effortlessly resists all regulation, unable to  see beyond his self-interest or to adopt standards of right versus  wrong."

Vintage Sexism: 1943 Guide to Hiring Women

1. Pick young married women. They usually have more of a sense of responsibility than their unmarried sisters, they're less likely to be flirtatious, they need the work or they wouldn't be doing it, they still have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with the public efficiently.
2. When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some time in their lives. Older women who have never contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined to be cantankerous and fussy. It's always well to impress upon older women the importance of friendliness and courtesy.
3. General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.
4. Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical examination - one covering female conditions. This step not only protects the property against the possibilities of lawsuit, but reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses which would make her mentally or physically unfit for the job.
5. Stress at the outset the importance of time the fact that a minute or two lost here and there makes serious inroads on schedules. Until this point is gotten across, service is likely to be slowed up.
6. Give the female employee a definite day-long schedule of duties so that they'll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every few minutes. Numerous properties say that women make excellent workers when they have their jobs cut out for them, but that they lack initiative in finding work themselves.
7. Whenever possible, let the inside employee change from one job to another at some time during the day. Women are inclined to be less nervous and happier with change.
8. Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You have to make some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more confidence and is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.
9. Be tactful when issuing instructions or in making criticisms. Women are often sensitive; they can't shrug off harsh words the way men do. Never ridicule a woman - it breaks her spirit and cuts off her efficiency.
10. Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women. Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she'll grow to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.
11. Get enough size variety in operator's uniforms so that each girl can have a proper fit. This point can't be stressed too much in keeping women happy."

'70s European Children's Book Depicts Penetration, Crowning

Denmark is very socially progressive—the first country to legalize pornography and same-sex unions—so it's fitting that a Danish author, Per Holm Knudsen, wrote How a Baby Is Made, an incredibly detailed children's book that depicts penetration and crowning.

The sun is still coming up tomorrow so.....

love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you've ever held dear 
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat fills with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weighs you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face,
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.

Pink grasshopper found in marshes

I WANT THIS TO BE MY NEW PET! 

I will name her Gajendra which means elephant king.

 

An "unusual" pink grasshopper has been discovered during a wildlife event at a Devon nature reserve.

The insect was found by 11-year-old Daniel Tate at Seaton Marshes near Sidmouth.

He said he thought it was a flower until he saw it jump and then he realised it was a grasshopper.

The insect was later identified by wildlife officers as a young adult meadow grasshopper, which has been born pink through genetic mutation.

Daniel, who attended the "mini-beasts" event with his great grandfather, said: "I was looking for grasshoppers when I saw something pink.

"I thought it was a flower but I saw it moving, so I tried to catch it. It jumped and then I knew it was a grasshopper."

James Chubb, education ranger for East Devon District Council, said: "There are billions of meadow grasshoppers across England but this is the first pink one I have ever seen.

"It is caused by a genetic mutation in its reproductive cycle.

"It's almost a full adult, so if it has survived this long being bright pink there is a chance it will live to reproduce and pass on its pink gene."

He said grasshoppers of different colours were "unusual" but not unheard of.

L’Immoraliste - The Immoralist

• This book just irritated me. 
• Based on Gide’s personal experience of discovering his homosexuality while traveling in North Africa.  
• He gets tuberculosis his wife takes care of him.
• He gets better.
• Bangs little boys.
• Wife gets tuberculosis.
• Wife has a miscarriage. 
• He makes her travel all over even though she is sick.
• He analyzes how she looks.
• She dies.
• The End.

I've always wondered how sometimes when something really bad happens to a person, like a near death experience, it doesn't humble them.  Instead, they become selfish and judgmental.  I don't understand that.

Calculating the value of prostitution

U is your satisfaction. It's what you, as a prostitute, care about - the satisfaction you gain from selling your services.
L is the amount of leisure you have.
C is the amount of goods and services you, as a consumer, consume.
S is the amount of prostitution you, as a prostitute, sell to your customers.
W is the going price for prostitutes.
R is a measure of your reputation.
The whole situation, seemingly so complicated, boils down to a nice partial differential equation. Here it is - a Della Giusta, Di Tommaso and Strom's rule of thumb for prostitutes. You, a prostitute, find it worthwhile to sell your services when:
[(δU/δL) / (δU/δC) Sp=0] ≤ w - [(δU/δr) / (δU/δC) S = 0]
That's the poetic, simple way of putting it. But prostitution is by tradition considered vulgar, so the team also gives a vulgar, all-words description: "An individual will start to sell prostitution if the price for selling the first amount of prostitution, minus the costs of a worsened reputation for doing so, exceeds the shadow price of leisure evaluated at zero prostitution sold."
That, in theory, is the story of prostitution.

This is the only porno that has ever turned me on.
