Lady Gaga is Celibate
intelligencewhim:
I I think going against the stream of belief that sex is something to be so strived for, and to hold it over ourselves (putting the *you know what* on a pedestal) as not being cool is actually a pretty cool thing. You can say what you want about Ms. Gaga, but you can’t say that she doesn’t have a lot of fans. If only a small percentage of them (young or old) takes her views...

Matt, I think your write-up is incredibly poignant. Esepcially the stories of the atrocities committed by drug cartels on Mexican civilians for nothing more than ransom money.
However I think you fall short in a few areas. One being placing recreational cannabis users on par with individuals who shoot heroin or snort coke, and the other is trying to sell the notion of ‘stop doing...

Im honestly just speechless. You really think weed is a good example for the cause you’re fighting for? I do agreed with you that it does support the wrong people, but if we just legalized it, it would be about a thousand times safer to distribute instead of getting it off some no good thug off the street. I just wish...

STOP DOING DRUGS.
As the drug war in Mexico continues to escilate, I thought those who read my blog should join with me in contemplation as to the effects our choices have on fellow humans, national neighbors, and ultimately our own country.
The following is from a post at longviewcurrent.org:
“Javier Morena, the five-year-old son of Mexican fruit sellers, in Mexico City last November, was playing outside...

Black Bush
Now that we’re comfortably removed from the Bush Years and Obama (along with us Obama supporters) have our own bed to lie in, let’s take a minute to reflect on how hilarious the following skit is. It transcends political climate, though it is clearly made for a specific time and place.
Sorry about the advert across the screen, this was the best video I could find.

Poems of Antiquity and Saves The Day
I’ve recently recieved a good enough grade from a strict enough professor on an essay that I’d like to share it. I won’t post it here as it’s several thousand words long and only for the extremely interested or fatally bored.
Click on the Academic Essays button above to read my paper on why dudes have been emo way before the joke of a moniker became a “real”...

Campus Freakz
As I sat in my Latin class and listened to my professor (a man who razor shaves his head, arms, and presumably everything else) and a few students talk about their individual collections of antique swords and crossbows, I wondered why there are so many weirdos in college.
I think anyone who’s attended university can relate to what I’m talking about.
There is this bizarre contingent...

Incarceration makes the heart grow fonder
You’ve never seen two humans look at each other the way they do in the visiting area of a medium security federal prison.
Recently I’ve been visiting a friend of mine who made some incredibly poor decisions and ended up in one of these facilities. For those who’ve never been, going to see a loved one is a long, arduous process that makes the airport security check seem fun.
You...
Moment baby heart beats.

The Lies We Tell Students
It’s recently dawned on me that I spend all day lying to children…what a shit job.
Telling them they can be whatever they want to be. Telling them that they should listen to their parents. Not being able to tell them how it really is. It’s all really just veiled lies.
A lot of the time they should take what their parents say and do the opposite. Like the little girl who lives...

Republican bent over pork barrel and spanked
Listening to NPR this morning I heard Pete Overby report on some unusal spending on the part of the RNC.
From the article:
“It’s only Tuesday and it’s already been a busy week for the Republican National Committee. The RNC has been in damage-control mode after its monthly financial report was discovered to include a $1,900 tab run up by some of the donors at a topless...
