For Years

For years I've been seaching for the one glimmering object that will give me the street cred that I've been yearning for. Lord knows bumpin'with the windies down to Pharrell hasn't worked. Nor has 4 carat blue tainted bling to rival J Lo's pink engagement. But this. This will do the trick. Fho Sho.

Gimme.

If the Ticonderoga is the Cadillac of pencils,

Then the Smencil is the Mini. See how the deliciously scented Smencil is crafted.

*Thanks to my delightful friend AM who, out of the blue, sent a whole gaggle of 'em to me at work! Too freakin' cool dude.

Awesome

Have you heard? Interracial sex is all the rage.

Oh wait, I guess it's not the good kind of rage.

Shucks. I thought for once, I'd be in fashion...what with my "interracial lifestyle" and all.

To be honest, I'm not at all sure that this ad intends to arouse racist sentiment. I guess I should be sure, but I am not. I think it's cheeky (as Thomas the Train would say) but I don't think it's evil. Of course, (and it wouldn't be the first time) I could be missing the plot...

Distraction from my current bump in the road

Rather than focusing on my current "situation", I figured it'd be good to move back to the basics. Look inward, if you will. Remember me, for me. I do like me after all. So I lifted these questions from this site and took some time. Below you will not only find a coupla questions and answers, but will have witnessed about ½ hour of non-self-contempt-driven thinking nestled among weeks that have been otherwise. Try to enjoy it as much as I have.


If you could boil your life's motivations into one underlying reason WHY you do everything you do, what would that be?

I am singularly and profoundly motivated by the idea of peace; peace of mind, peace derived from justice, peace in prosperity, imparting peace, sharing peace, allowing for peace. All of my ethic, my interactions, my quest for closeness comes down to a quiet moment in which goodness in humanity, self and others permeates.

I know, goofy, but true.


Would you kill 10,000 innocent people if by doing so, you could end world hunger? 1,000? 100? One? Why?
No. I have no right to take a single person's life. None. Believing otherwise has created the world in which we live…certainly not even close to the life we can collectively imagine.


What does a perfect day look like?
I can't even imagine one right now. Maybe you can help me by telling me about yours.


What's the best advice anyone has ever given you?
Answering this one may help as well.


Fleh. Stinker-bo-binker and flecka-pah-guck. Not good.

Ass/Not Ass

Things that are ass:

The Pregnancy Thong. Un'f'in real. Makes me more hostile than pregnancy.

Global Warming.

The prosecution of Lynne Stewart.

Condoms as evidence.

The New Prudence.


Things that are decidedly not ass:


Mr. Barack Obama. You may have heard this before but it worth repeating, I wish to lick his face. His fresh, fresh, beautifully smart face.

Red iPods.


The campaign for real beauty.

Stem cells.

Safe Injection Sites

The Old Prudence.

Yipppee!

Go Orhan! Whooooohooooo!

In other bookie news, I just bought this EVEN THOUGH I have not finished my 2006 book selections. Very radical move of me. Very uncool. Very exciting.
