I owe, I owe...well, you know the rest. I'm starting to feel like I should just move in at work. I'm certainly there enough.

Is school violence the fault of outcasts or their tormentors? http://ping.fm/9E8Mp

"A lady never reveals her true age." The attitude behind this statement is both ageist and sexist. I'll tell you my age with no hesitation.

I'll admit my shame--am actually watching this "Texas Cheerleader Scandal" flick. Bunch of spoiled skanks who need a beat down.

Juvederm, huh? If you are over 40 and fretting because you have lines on your face I have a word: VAIN! I'll keep my lines. I earned 'em.

All right, which one of you is going to make me dinner? My cat just refused.

Waiting for my pants to dry. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't like it if I showed up at work in my underwear.

As It Is

I want to try delving into the Twelve Steps from a Buddhist Perspective to hopefully get a handle on my addiction to food. I have a book by a fellow named Darren Littlejohn who incorporated Buddhism into his own twelve-step process. I have other legal addictions as well, such as television, but the food thing is the worst one. This will sound awful but I really wish I was addicted to something--ANYTHING else. I wish I was addicted to booze or pot or nicotine or cocaine or gambling or even sex. Because then abstinence would work. I do well with abstinence. But a person HAS to eat. And I have never gotten to the point where I was an "eat to live, not live to eat" person. I have always lived to eat. If I didn't have to eat, I'd be home free. I would simply never buy food again.

People always thinks that I'm belittling their struggles with other substances and I certainly am not. When Nikki Sixx says that his heroin addiction is a monster that would sell his own children to get a fix, I believe him and I feel the pain of that statement. Nikki Sixx the person is a good guy who loves his kids and would never allow harm to come to them and he would wrestle this demon to hell before he would ever allow it to do something so vile. But the ADDICTION has no conscience and he has to live with it in his soul. I do not in any way belittle the magnitude of this. I'm only saying that I personally am pretty good at stuff I can abstain from. I can't abstain from particular TYPES of food very well. As long as I'm putting anything in my mouth, chances are I will again pick up the stuff I shouldn't eat and eat too much of it.

I like Buddhism and am hoping that maybe this perspective will help me gain strength. Overeaters Anonymous didn't work for me. But perhaps this will help.

Here's my favorite comment:
After a while, the party assumed a rather bizarre vibe – kind of like what would happen if your alcoholic uncle came to visit you in college and proceeded to hit on all the hot females in the hall of your dorm. 

This is my other favorite quote:

I prefer to think of “douche” as a word that began as a bullshit procedure to neutralize my naturally “unclean” vagina, that can now be applied to other things that women may want to think twice about putting in their own vaginas.

What's your Personality?

You Are the Honest One

You are very open and honest. You have nothing to hide, and you have no problem telling very personal stories. You may give people a little too much information, but you figure that's their problem, not yours. You don't always tell others what you think of them, but if they ask you, you'll tell them the real deal. People either love you or hate you, and you're okay with that. You just want to know how they really feel.

Sick of Myself

I'm not suicidal--I actually haven't been for a while now. But the "getting splattered by an asteroid" idea isn't far from my mind. I feel like such a failure. I feel like I have let myself down, and my son down. I'm not going to just sit around feeling sorry for myself but I am having a drink tonight. So sue me.

Overly optimistic

"When I live in the past, I live in regret. When I live in the future, I live in fear. When I stay in the NOW, everything's always okay."

This was the status for one of my Facebook friends. I didn't want to be a smart ass so I didn't say this there, but this is not a realistic statement. Sorry to be a huge cynic, but what if your house just blew up and your entire family was killed. Seems to me that this is SO far from okay. Just sayin'.

I hate politics. I realize it is one of those inescapable facts of life, like constipation and diarrhea. I don't like those either, BTW.

Wish that someone would just bring me dinner. Come on, People, is that really so much to ask? ;-p

Feminine Performance and Thinking Of The Children - The Sexist - Washington City Paper http://ping.fm/yisvx

This was my response to the article:

Children should not be encouraged to dance in a suggestive, adult fashion. The only ones this will appeal to is pedophiles. If someone out there actually thinks this little performance is cute, they need to check themselves. We should be encouraging our children to respect themselves and to protect themselves. This video is not cute, it is dangerous to those children.

Here is the highly questionable video:
