Hippie Smell Revealed
I have a newly formed theory on why hippies smell so bad and look disheveled. I believe this is because of the enormous time it takes to protest, boycott and share ideas. You have to make posters, organize, give speeches, make fliers, contacts and then there is all of the sitting around chanting and singing. All of this comes at the expense of showers, teeth brushing, hair cuts etc.
Then there is the downward spiral do you stay at the protest? or go to work to pay your bills? You don't want to be half a hippie so they cut off your water and electricity now you can't curl your hair or shower even if you wanted to...plus now you have to protest against the energy giants which will require even more time and energy and before you know it you are homeless...living on the streets you smell bad and no one will listen to you because you look crazy.
All of this can be avoided and solved with my new seminar, "Time Management for Hippies"
Only $149.00 per person on pay pal order now this is a limited blog offering only.

For You....
In response to needing to find religion to be happy....
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point then the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one."
- George Bernard Shaw
In reaction to Brittany Spears..
It is time for you to start working at hooters...you are finished, bring me my wings and a side salad..
In reaction to the drop in temperature here...
I love it...there is nothing like finding yourself in the arms of a woman under a hundred blankets when it is that cold at night...now I regret throwing the chamber pot out.
In response to Red Bull..
I think you give me poisoning when I drink you in abundance mixed with the water goodness of Vodka..right now I can't prove it but I am so coming for you.

Question of the Weekend....
The set up
You are a truck driver. You are carrying a load of highly flammable liquid when you realize that your truck is accelerating and your brakes don't work. You crash through a guard rail and are headed towards a large cities natural gas supply. If you hit the gas depot the whole city will blow-up killing millions of people. You need to crash the truck before you hit the gas depot.
There are six buildings between you and the gas depot. You must crash into one of them to save the town. You are going to fast to serve and avoid them all. If you jack knife the truck you will blow up all six buildings but if you hit any one head on you will only kill the people in that building.
Each building has 2500 people in it.
Building one: Red Cross Relief Center: Housing families misplaced by the civil war in Africa's Sudan. Many people are leg less due to landmines and extremely poor.
Building Two: School for special needs children. Almost all of the children have severe mental and physical disabilities.
Building Three: Half way house for recovering drug addicts.
Building Four: Minimum Security Prison for Women
Building Five: Church with an extremely devote following of Christians.
Building Six: Nursing Home with a small research center doing ground breaking work on dementia. There are only 5 researchers on site at the time.
What building do you crash into and why?
If you had to rank the buildings 1-6 what would be your order? Why?
I love questions and how they make us challenge assumptions and values. I will post my answer to these questions on Monday morning. Love to see what you all have to say in the mean time...
Have a great weekend:)

Unfinished Clips
You and Me
You
Came to me
Like a snipped
Of a dream
Part of a movie
I wasn't old
Enough to see
Blacked out
Shut off
Ushered away
From
Me
Walk Inside
I walk up and down the rolling hills in a bi-pedal version of a roller coaster. The tall grass singing in the night wind. The moon peaks out of dark clouds, like an eye with fingers in front of it, scared at what it might see. I create an orb of lifelessness around me as the animals scurry in all directions in a radius of fear. They will return when I am all done to pick the part of me you know off of my bones, so my outside matches my inside.

Your Crazy...Wait What
If I came up to you on the street and said, "we are in some serious shit, see in the begining of time this guy ate this magical apple and doomed all of mankind to sin and the only way we can undo this eating is to murder this guy call Jesus. I have this book that even proves it."
What would you say to me?
What if I told you all you have to do was believe in this story and you would live forever in bliss?
Why do so many people believe this story? I personally have heard much better...

Other People Said It Today
Here is a great article Called, "Is There Anything Good About Men", by Roy F. Baumeister. This is a long article but if you are into Feminism, Gender Rights, Evolution or a Man. This is a great article and worth the read.
Plus Ultra turned me on to this Graphic Designer and I just love his work political and sexy.
Terri has given me room to explore my inner Diva today by granting my Rockin' Girl Blogger Award! If you haven't checked out her blog do it. She is the complete package Warm, Smart, Funny and even though she is married I can still say it fricking hot. So thanks for the award and giving me this day where I don't have to fret about my moobs but can proudly put them on display for all of you to rub...

Contest
Since I know so many girls who are rocking bloggers I am going to pass this award to the first four people who send me something dirty they would love to do with me if they have me for the weekend....

Some Perspective on Assimilation
1850-1930 Saw a large influx of immigrants into this country. They were Irish, Greek, Italian etc. The population of immigrants that was already here shunned them as isolationist who refused to learn English and adapt to "American" customs and traditions. They were oppressed and brutalized. They lived in specific areas named after their home lands. Little Italy, Little Odessa, China Town. They are now part of the American Icon. Can you imagine a town without an Italian restaurant? Pizza shop? Chinese buffet? At one time these where thought to be products of immigrant devils sent to undermine our great country.
I was overhearing a conversation yesterday about Somali's in Minneapolis. (We have a large Somali refugee population in the Minneapolis) The talk was rather racist and I would not wish to repeat it, if I was a better man I would have intervened.
But at least I can speak on the defense of the Somali's in some fashion. Assimilation is a generational concept. The first wave of immigrants is always going to face oppression because of language barriers to job entry, community events etc. But their children will go to school learn English, make friends, learn customs and form a hybrid culture and branch out into the community. Eventually generation after generation those branch's grow, take root and one day there may be a Somali restaurant in every city. This is a good thing. It enriches us all gives us different perspective. It just takes time.....I hope we are able to give them the generations of time they need to make this home....just like someone gave us.
Think about that next time you order pizza.

Something They Don't Teach You in School
1.)If you can feel the heat of your own fart...don't try to hold it find a bath room immediately.
2.) A plate of 20 fire wings can lead directly to number 1...or 2 depending on how you read this.
3.)How to salsa...in my inner city school we learned line dancing and square dancing in gym class because there is "less touching".
4.)Self defense. Shouldn't this be taught in schools? Help kids defend themselves, fight off attackers, bullies, animals that hide under their beds?
I saw a bunch of kids going back to school this morning and with the sight of them I got a little nervous about our collective future..then I realized that many years ago someone thought that about me. Then I became puzzled when thinking about who proved who wrong.
