Lean Back and say "AHHHHH!"

Here it is once again: Summer. The kids are out of school and blah blah blah (guitar solo in my mind) . Kids everywhere...if I wasn't already a lesbian, I'd become one. One without kids...you know, a true lesbian. Surprised I'd say such a thing when I have a daughter? Yah me too. DISCLAIMER: Yes I love my daughter with all of my heart and would not change a thing (Hmmm let me ponder that for a moment). To think of life without her (hmmmm ahhh--okay, I am back to reality now) is unimagineable. I would never know the struggle of life and attempting to bounce back when there's no where to go but up.

I'm not the most political person...but I've noticed, like many others, the decline of morality. Oh there are those who say the gays and lesbians of course, know nothing of morality...well, just look at them! Yah, just look at us! I don't fault gays and lesbians for having kids together...if it's what makes them happy and everyone is for it, go for it. It's just not something I could do. I did it all on my own....the GROSS way and dealt with the consequences. That being said...I've grown to be quite pessimistic when it comes to today's parents. I sometimes think there is too much technology...although it has some awfully good points. I see kids with their IPODS in the grocery store with their parents. I think it's the most disrespectful thing when you drown out your parents. My mother would have had a fit. No one can talk to anyone or do anything without a cellphone in their ear...can't drive without one and yes, it's good for an emergency. Do we really think Paris Hilton is calling for an emergency every time we've seen her with her cell phone in one hand and her ugly little dog in the other? (Sorry to all the dogs out there). It disgusts me to even mention her name but I see it everywhere. Oh yes, I have a cell phone and I use it for work and of course friends and family...I love having it but I've learned to survive when I don't have something. Kids with cell phones and IPODS....I love music myself...have to turn it on in the morning first thing. It's all taken the place of talking to each other, face to face.

Maybe the world has gotten so violent, rude and immoral, that we just want to drown it out.

So now I lean back and listen to my inner child say "AHHHHHHH"

Peace and Quiet For Everyone

A BIg Bag of DUH

As I walk around this planet, I am continually baffled by people younger than me...the clothes they wear, the hardware they wear, the way they talk and conduct themselves. Okay maybe it's because I am approaching middle age. Though in contrast to my daughter feeling I came over on the Mayflower...I am only 42, so actual middle age has not knocked on my door. (And if it has, I have been out carousing!) I find myself shaking my head.

One of the things I see that I cannot work out in my mind is this practice by men(and a few strange women) of wearing their jeans down below not only their waist but below their butt(I am being clean for the moment). I say EWWW. In today's world, apparently it's appropriate for one to show their boxers to everyone. I had not yet seen any guy with regular underwear showing until a couple weeks ago. Can you imagine regular Joe Blow with his white BVDs showing (stomach gurgling)? So a couple weeks ago, I saw the front of this guy, who happened to be african american, where his jeans were down in the front showing his underoos....they were not boxers, but colored underwear. Maybe this is why the straight women hang on these guys...a promise what's to come. It makes me laugh and I will tell you what I recently read of the nature of this practice.

I do not know how many people know this, if it is true or not, but I found it hilarious. I choose to believe it is true. I apologize I cannot recall the name of the man who wrote the article.

There was an article(it could have been JET magazine) from a minister who had been in prison when he was younger and stated that the young people who practice this ritual would not do this if they knew its origin. According to this man, this started in the prisons. If a man wore his pants below his waist, showing his underwear, that meant he was available for a good ole time and wanted some action.

I am quite sure this has not been publicized or so many people would not be wearing their pants down to their ankles. If you look at the pants they wear..they are actually manufactured so one can wear them below the waist.

Maybe I will never understand this ritual, but at least I know of all they young men that are available.

Of course, it makes no difference to a lesbian.

Happy Days
