Therapy can begin
Heads up:  there will be profanity in this post! I have an immeasurable phobia of snakes.  So much so that last summer I had to skip a portion of the lawn when mowing, didn’t enjoy our beautiful patio as much as I should & refused to plant flowers in my flower bed because there was a family of them.  So the past few weeks I was waiting to see the first little fucker.  And that day came...

veggielezzyfemmie: I wish people cared more for the earth they live on when they live on it rather than caring so much about where your body is placed after you’re dead….not to mention all the other terrible things we do to this earth because of religion….

Deception at it's finest
Optimistically I looked outside on what I hoped would be a beautiful Sunday & thought, hmmm, doesn’t look too bad out… the sun is shining, the wind seemed to die down.  And then I took Ada out & was hit so hard from a gust of wind I thought I was about to meet Dorthy in the land of Oz.  Good lord Mother Nature, just calm down!

– from John Amaechi’s excellent article on Kobe Bryant’s use of the ‘f-word’ and why it matters.  Amaechi is a former player who came out publically after retiring. Every sports fan should read the article. (via matt-t) so incredibly unacceptable.

I had a dream last night that I learned how to snowboard & rock climb at the same time.  Well basically, once you rode to the bottom of the mountain you had to strap your board to your back & climb back up an even steeper side.  Now that’s what I call a sport!  Oh, & there was a car lot at the bottom of one of the hills & you had to dodge all the cars.  (maybe I should drink...

Why do people find it necessary to have conversations in public (quiet coffee shop) so that everyone can hear?! As Daniel would say; idiots & assholes. Today is NOT the day to piss me off.
