On a personal note. . .

Day 474

 I promise to get to my point and I swear that I already know that I not telling anyone anything that any sane person would ever want to know or hear or read.  I bore even myself.  Sorry.  So with that self-deprecating remark. . .

I am frustrated. … Read full post »

Shannon-tinted Glasses

 Day 462

I always say that we each have rose-tinted glasses, or rather, I have Shannon-tinted glasses and, of course, you have your tinted glasses and so on.  Like you, I found mine through experience, but my tinted glasses are a little/

Pictures of Me

 

Day 463

I just wanted to share these little glimpses of myself with you.  There is no reason.  No point.  Is it just my desire to be real?  To be seen? Instead of ignored?  Even if no one reads this, I am out there.  Visible.  Not invisible. Read full post »

 

Day 458

 I liked this movie so much that I made arrangements to take my kids to Erie to watch it too.  So I watched it twice--definitely worth it.  I agree with my original post (so I put it here at the end). No shirt this time though.

What I think of Michael Moore

Capitalism:  A Love Story

Day 455

So I went to Erie today to watch the new Michael Moore movie, by myself.  Not really sad, I have been going it alone for years.  Anyways, the main fault of this movie seems to be that it tried to tackle such a huge issue,… Read full post »

Poorsinner101 and my VAGINA

Day 452

Why we should not allow members of OS, or our society in general, to say everything that comes to mind.  I was scanning OS, randomly reading contributors’ blogs, something I have found myself greatly enjoying as of late, when I came across this one from poorsinner101:  (I havRead full post »

All Eyes On Me

Day 446 part II

Yesterday morning, I called my father, to his face, an asshole.  He took it pretty well.  I have been sick for the last two weeks or so, I will explain that later.  And he had said that we didn’t need to have someone help us on our… Read full post »

Missing Men at Midnight

Day 446

Why am I sitting here typing at midnight?  I have to work tomorrow.  Why am I not being responsible?  I have been thinking all night about taking my kids to that scary movie Friday night.  Can people under 18 get in at night?  Damn though, I hope I… Read full post »

Day 445

It is in the smallest ways that society forces us to conform. 

My daughters’ names. 

I have reiterate my being a tramp.  Two daughters, with two different dads.  Yeah, anyways, when I was eighteen and having my first baby girl, I knew adamantly that I… Read full post »


Day 439

Human sexuality, gender, and our collective sense of self were recently brought to my attention by a relatively benign, albeit amusing encounter.   It brought notions I recently acquired, thoughts from my childhood, and a number of events into perspective, much like adjusting a p… Read full post »

How the Honey bee could destroy America

 

Is this the end of our food supply?  Humans done in by the honey bees?  Well, anyways, I took a Master Gardening class (through Penn State) last year and was supposed to turn this very lousy paper in a while back.  My only excuse was working on my gosh darn/… Read full post »

Day 433

Please, please, please, could Republican politicians and radio and tv hosts, please grow up? Is this too much to ask? Death panels, really Palin? Really? You really believe that some panel is going to put to you death. . .well. . . .… Read full post »

7 Reasons to Fear Rural America

Day 420

 

            Everyone should be very afraid of rural/militant/republican/christian fundamentalist America.  They aren’t just in my backyard.  Max the Communist made the comment, as have others here and in my lifetime,/… Read full post »

Day 415

 

            I truly grasp that no one will be interested in my sexuality but me.  The thing is, living in the middle of the bible belt, I really don’t have anyone else to tell this all to.  So I decided to tell the w/… Read full post »

Day 413 

Well I might as well mention that I am a huge tramp.  I have two kids, each with their own dear-old-dad.  Actually, I am quite a prude, not that it means anything to any of the right-winged-republican-christian-fundamentalist-hate-helping the environment-and-caring-for-sick-pe/… Read full post »

Day 408 

Here I sit, nine year old by my side, moaning because someone gave her the flu (why do parents insist on sending their sick children out into the world?).  I must patiently wait for my fourteen year old to come home.  I must trust her.  I must.  She is… Read full post »

Day 407

Day 407

I have a problem.  Don't we all.  I can't seem to escape my family.  Don't get me wrong, I love them.  They can be incredibly giving.  And demanding.  It all started four hundred and seven days ago.  Back then Bush was President and I was on summer break fro… Read full post »
