2 Girls One Cup.... WTF

Well, there is a giant uproar about this clip "2 Girls, One Cup." I was nearly forced to watch it, then thankfully I was able to leave the room. Still, I didn't know what it was all about. Then my sister sent me this link of a Grandmother watching the video. I went to you tube, debating whether this is something I could bare to see. And when I searched for 2 Girls One Cup, there were pages and pages of video submissions of people who video recorded their own reactions when they first saw it. Before I actually committed myself to any horrible sights, I thought of the helpful tool Urbandictionary.com. So I looked it up there, and after I found out what the video was about, I couldn't believe it. And people watch this?!!? Really now, what the hell? It's really awful how far people have to go to create an uproar on the internet community any more. I might sound like a grandmother in saying this, but I remember when the Mia Hee video with an over weight teenage guy dancing to a song in a different language was all we talked about. But now we have this subject matter?! It's just really repulsive.

Well, Ludacris has out done himself. He has finally released a Christmas song. But really, did you expect anything else? I mean, how could the man resist a song in which he can have the lyrics "Ho, Ho, Ho" mean more than one thing!? That opportunity simply does not come along everyday. It is really quite comical, and unfortunately, also very catchy.
And speaking of Ho, Ho, Ho. There has been a recent movement in Australia to encourage Santas not to say "ho, ho, ho" but rather, "ha, ha, ha." I think this has gone way over the line. It has nothing to do with a degrading term for a woman, its Santa's catch phrase if you will. Ha, ha, ha? Now kids are just going to think that Santa is high on marijuana and has the giggles, and all the cookies they put out are for his munchies. Okay, so maybe not really. But how far do we need to take political correctness?

The lonely glove

I came along a glove laying lonely on the boulevard, and this is what I believe came about that glove.

Quidditch!

The Muggles have finally come around to start up Quidditch! A college in Vermont, avid Harry Potter enthusiasts, drafted a gravity-friendly version of the well known wizard sport. I think its historical how Harry Potter has effected people literally all across the globe in so many facets.

That is a link to an article about a woman who was arrested in Sudan for allowing her kindergarten class to name a teddy bear Mohammad. What a blessing it is to live in America. She has been charged with blasphemy for insulting Islam's Prophet. She is being held in jail while there is more investigation.
With all my posts about legality of prostitution, and girls being pregnant at 15, and political dealings, the scale between our country's issues and right to speak on them are greatly separated. So yes, God bless America, who ever your god might be.

power naps

Did you know that drinking coffee before you take a nap is a very effective way to power nap? It takes about 20-30 mins for the coffee to kick in, just long enough to finish that power nap. Then you wake up rested and with a new kick of energy! I don't think I would have thought of that if I hadn't read it. It seems counter productive at first. It also insures that I won't over nap because my body wants to get up and use that caffeine.
Insight of the day!

craigslist

A tragic event has just happened. A woman was just murdered after responding and communicating about a job listing on Craigslist. She went to interview and the man brutally murdered her. That is a scary wake up and continual reminder about internet safety. Craiglist is a tool I use very frequently to find items I need. For my apartment this year I acquired my dining room table, my desk, my dresser and a coat rack from craigslist. And on top of the things I actually purchased, I inquired about countless items. I don't find that craigslist holds any responsibility for this event. They post warnings about online transactions and communication all over their site. It is sad that this happened. I wouldn't normally think it necessary to bring a person along with me when meeting for a job interview. Of course when picking up items from strangers you would always want to bring someone with you, it seems a given. But with a perspective future employer, you would not presume you would need someone to watch out for you. It is just tragic.

Another topic about craigslist: You can find whatever you are looking for... be it a free pile of bricks, a house to rent, a garage sale to browse, and apparently even find people for sexual encounters. Now this I was not expecting in the personals of Craigslist. They have listings for every combination of men and women seeking each other. Curious to see what people write on these postings, one day I clicked on a personal ad for men seeking women. Somehow I missed the indication on that post link that indicated it included a picture. OH MY WORD. I was not expecting that, there was a picture of a man's "region" largely displayed on the page. Who knew that craigslist is a forum for these kind of connections. I am personally a little disturbed, but I see now that they also have a section strictly for platonic connections. I did not risk browsing any further, but I presume that those postings are more censored. So be careful next time on craigslist, you never know what might be posted.
