All the TV stations and sport competitions that are aimed towards the dude-bro mentality are so gross to watch.  I have a feeling in about 10 years there’s gonna be a whole lot of lonely old fuckers out there, broken down and worn from years of drinkin with the boys and ramping themselves off railings who really wish they had appreciated the women they had in their lives when they made the decision to try and copy off peter pan.

I got on this whole tangent while watching the WWII in HD special the History Channel is running right now.  Watch it if you want a reminder of why everyone’s grandpa was a real-live badass and hero.  Those guys kept it together in a world that none of the spoiled tatted up brats I know could even begin to deal with.

I’m not some kind of lazy ass or gold digger or weirdo transplant from 1950.  I’m just saying that it would be nice to feel like a man wants to take care of ME for once.  I’m talking about mentally and physically…  I don’t want a fucking handbag from the Chanel store.  I can buy my own frivolous crap if i feel the need thank you very much.  All I want is to feel like there’s a dude who isn’t interested in scanning for a better deal out of the corner of his eye, someone who isn’t afraid to say “I think you’re rad, let’s do this”.

So, guys who are over 30 and claim to never have considered marriage & kids are either dumb or delusional or just plain selfish and don’t need other people in their lives.  That’s what I’ve decided anyway.  Now, is it going to take another world war to bring the dudes of our generation down to earth?

After this week’s revolting media saturation with Sarah Palin’s cheesy hair and totally insane ideas, I’ve come to a really cool conclusion. The utter insanity that has taken over the Republican party has made way for a real, viable third party. I voted for Obama, not because I think he’s qualified or because I think he has an inkling of a clue how to run a country, but because I am just so terrified of the Christian right. That’s sad.
I think Obama is doing a terrible job in office, and the fradulent reports he has cooked up for the “stimulus package” are just plain insulting. How people are still blindly supporting his every move is beyond me. I’m beginning to think that 90% of my peers are delusional. Most of them won’t even listen when i try to show them proof of anything that could possibly make Obama out to be anything other than the most perfect person on earth.
Hopefully, the next 4 years will find my naive Democratic friends and some oldschool Republicans who have flown the coop banding together to figure out a way that this country can be governed by a realist.

Now. get ready to lose your temper.  Imagine how many tax dollars were spent on that stupid hoax?  I think network in charge of this should pay YOU and ME back for every wasted penny.  What a joke.  Imagine how many real emergencies went unanswered because of those losers and their desperate attempts at fame.

Ok- not all women, but women in LA seem to be particularly horrible.  No I am not a spurned young man who tried to screw some model at the club last night.  I’m a normal, educated, fun and bitchy woman under 30.  One would think that being friends with me would be something other chicks my age would want to do.  I’m no loser, I do have plenty of girl friends (most of them have been around for years and years) but I can’t think of ONE girl friend of mine in LA who i actually trust FOR REAL.

Of course, we all have the girls who are great to go out for appetizers and wine with when we have a breakup or some other kind of trauma, but those girls don’t seem to be quite as eager to hang out OR as fun to be with unless there’s some kind of tragedy to discuss.  I swear, if I won the powerball jackpot I would be stuck alone with my dog and yummy.com, but if some skank makes out with my boyfriend while I’m out of town my happy hour dancecard will be full for weeks straight.

What’s the deal with this?  Are the ladies of LA really that jealous or bitter or desperate?  The naive little girl in me refuses to believe it.  Am I weird for not ever coveting what my friends have?  Shit, I’m glad when my girls find a great guy or a cool new job.  Why wouldn’t I be?  I’m not them, and wanting what they have is creepy and stalkerish!  Of course, if you’ve been single or broke for a while it can be a TAD much to have to listen to friends gush about their awesome life but I would NEVER go and try to ruin things for them!  Girls in LA have done this to me countless times.  These scandalous whores have gone so far and beyond anything I have ever imagined, just to blow up my spot and make me sad.  What’s the deal?  Does everyone have this problem?

It’s after 3am and I just ate 8oz of ice cream. Probably not the best idea I’ve had in recent days but at least it was raw vegan ice cream. Ice cream that doesn’t make me feel violently ill immediately after eating is a beautiful thing.

Vegan food is great.  Nobody can argue the fact that eating actual healthy vegan food will never cause a food hangover.  Anyone who gets food hangovers should probably go get checked for food allergies asap, but that’s a topic for another day.  Just something to think about.

I just want someone to explain to me how anyone could think that everyone on earth should have to live their lives according to a certain set of religious guidelines.  I understand morality, and I realize that a lot of the current debates going on in the US are moral issues.  I fail to see how anyone would think that the population at large would give a shit about quotes from religious texts like the bible.  I went to a bunch of the Prop 8 rallies and it blew me away that actual adults who looked semi-functional took time out of their day to cite biblical passages on picket signs and scream about Jesus to a huge crowd of people who really REALLY do not care.

There’s nothing wrong with religion.  I’m not religious, and to be honest I am slightly jealous that some people can find solace in blindly following the contents of books written thousands of years ago.  The thing that blows me away is that we live in the USA and this religious stuff is an issue in everyone’s daily life.  People sailed months and months on boats to get here and found this country because of religious persecution and now one of the two major political parties is completely controlled by a bunch of self-important zealots.
