That’s what my kid would call me. Sad thing is, I would have to agree. For some reason, everything I know has fallen out of my head. I really need to put cork in my ears.

Myspace page isn’t turning out how I want it. Guess I should leave that to the young ‘uns.
Too much turkey, not enough brownie.
Kids had no school for a week. A whole week. I almost threw them out of the car this morning, I was so happy.
Addicted to Xbox Live. Speaking of….gotta run.

I said, “Go, and be happy
but remember (you know
well) whom you leave shackled by love

“If you forget me, think
of our gifts to Aphrodite
and all the loveliness that we shared

“all the violet tiaras,
braided rosebuds, dill and
crocus twined around your young neck

“myrrh poured on your head
and on soft mats girls with
all that they most wished for beside them

“while no voices chanted
choruses without ours,
no woodlot bloomed in spring without song…”

George W. Bush meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, “Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?”

“Well,” says the Queen, “the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.”

Bush frowns. “But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?”

The Queen takes a sip of tea. “Oh, that’s easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligence riddle.”

The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. “Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?”

Tony Blair walks into the room. “Yes, my Queen?”

The Queen smiles. “Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?”

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, “That would be me.”

“Yes! Very good,” says the Queen.

Back at the White House, Bush asks to speak with vice president Dick Cheney.

“Dick, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your sister. Who is it?”

“I’m not sure,” says the vice president. “Let me get back to you on that one.”

Dick Cheney goes to his advisors and asks everyone, but none can give him an answer. Finally he ends up in the men’s room and recognizes Colin Powell’s shoes in the next stall.

Dick shouts, “Colin, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it’s not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”

Colin Powell yells back, “That’s easy. It’s me!”

Dick Cheney smiles and says “Thanks.” He then goes back to the Oval Office to speak with Bush.

“Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It’s Colin Powell.”

Bush gets up, stomps over to Cheney, and angrily yells into his face,

“‘NO, YOU IDIOT! IT’S TONY BLAIR!”

Dontcha just love the rain? Especially here in San Diego where it stays dry until everything is cracking and splitting from the heat. Rain last evening, s’posed to rain all day….right on! It’s a beautiful, gentle mist right now and it feels very cleansing and purifying because it’s not so hard that it destroys stuff but allows the rain to be absorbed and to really sink in down to your roots. You can feel the Earth saying….’Ahhh….now that’s what I’m talking about!”

It only takes 3 minutes to watch this video. There’s not a lot that I pass on but I ask that you take these couple of minutes to watch how one man made a difference in a boy’s life. It’s amazing what a little bit of compassion can accomplish.

Do you like P B and J?
Individually, yes. As a couple, nope.

Would you prefer to french kiss a man with black teeth with breath that smells like bung hole three times a day for a week or would you rather sleep next to a pig and cow farmer all night snuggled up in one sleeping bag between them both?
Pig farmer. Wait. Yes, definitely the pig farmer.

Do you still feel the vibe?
Continually.

Q. What is your opinion on one of the last propositions that was on the ballot: should doctors be required to tell parents of a minor that the minor has requested an abortion? This proposition did say that there was a provision where the minor could go to the courts and get a waiver in certain cases (abuse etc.). There were also other ways that the parents could be informed (mail, calling etc) and there was a three day waiting period for the abortion. The idea is that parents have the right to know what is happening with their minor children.
A. Yes, parents should have the right to know what is going on with their minor children. But parents, in general, have given up many of their rights when they decided to let society and the government raise their children. Parents no longer parent! They rely on the government to teach their children about sex. They rely on television and movies to teach their children about the ‘real world.’ They rely on friends they have never met or heard about to teach their children social skills. They rely on their checkbooks and credit cards to teach their children about love. Society has evolved to a point where community no longer exists and our elders have no meaning in the lives of their family, being shut away in nursing homes and other care facilities because there is no time for them. The majority of children have to make their own way, gaining knowledge from their own experiences and never hearing the wisdom of of those who came before in a manner that is not ‘preachy.’ So, finally my point. Minor children, aged 14 to 17, should be able to have an abortion without parental consent/notification. No waivers, no three day waiting period, no notice coming in the mail or by phone. They should be required to speak with a trained counselor for an hour beforehand, preferably by a woman who has had an abortion, for the opportunity to see other options available. They should be counseled as to the effect this procedure will have on their bodies and thoroughly prepared for the procedure and after-effects which will not only effect them physically, but emotionally. They should be given a three month shot of Depo, and given an aftercare appointment for 2 weeks to see how they are doing physically and emotionally. They should also be given information on how to obtain the birth control method without their parent’s consent. Of course, I believe that all birth control, including sterilization, should be free to the public. This is all given during the first visit requesting an abortion. If they come for an abortion again, parents should be notified immediately because there’s a danger of using abortion as birth control. Moral issues aside, this is horrible for a woman’s body and should be stopped. So there. That’s my solution. But whatever, this issue as a whole is quickly becoming something that will change our lives, as women, forever. Check out the latest here. I do have to add that I am firmly against 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions as a personal choice. However, I do believe that it is acceptable in order to save the life of the mother or if the quality of life for the child is seriously compromised as in cases of disorders, disease, malformation, etc.

Q. Do you think that Wicca/Paganism, as a whole, should have a “central board” that speaks publically and politically for those that practice Wicca/Paganism. And if so, how would those individuals be “elected”. And do you think that this would help or hinder the public accepting Wicca/Paganism as a “real” religion?
A. Wowie. DISCLAIMER: My view may not be a popular one but it is not my intention to offend anyone. Moving on. I think it is entirely possible for Wicca to have a central board, or organization, that would speak politically for the whole. Contrary to popular belief, the more Wiccans try to be different, the more they are the same. I don’t say that to be disrespectful in any way, just stating how I see things. There are basic tenents in Wicca that everyone follows. They may perform spells, they may not. They may use Egyptian mythology, they may use Greek. They may read Tarot, they may read the clouds or nothing! The basic tenents are the same. There is a core system of beliefs that are followed with some people inserting things out of the blue here and there in order to be different. But they are a seperate group of people, trying to find their place in the Whole and would require a topic of their own. Back to Wicca. Yes, it’s possible. Probable, no. At least not yet. Paganism is a completely different thing. Paganism encompasses the rainbow of earth-centered religions/belief systems and there could not possibly be one representing body. To many completely different paths fall on that rainbow. Then you have your Witchcraft, which I don’t see as Paganism at all. Witchcraft is not about spirituality, it is the practice and not the philosophy. I don’t see any central board legitimizing anything. There is a central board as we speak, and that is CoG. CoG was started with this in mind but the problem is that whenever you involve politics and religion, things get all fuckered up. And I’m not just speaking about our local San Diego branch of the tree but the organization as a whole. Now look at Christianity. What started as a beautiful belief system was twisted, gnarled and bastardized into the monster it has become. Why? Politics. The central board was formed and believed they were doing God’s Work so they must be right in all things. *sigh*

Q. What is your opinion of the death penalty?
A. When it comes down to it, I think the death penalty is wrong. But then, I think that our whole system of punishment is way off course. A lot of people would argue that the death penalty is a great option for our overcrowded prisons. Yes, our prisons are overcrowded. That’s because we throw people in jail for things that are absofuckinglutely ridiculous! We need to legalize and regulate marijuana and prostitution. We need to provide our children with opportunities, challenges and guidance to keep them out gangs. We need to sterilize deadbeat parents and those who have more children while they are on welfare. We need to require 4 years of military service for our young men, unless they are continually registered in schools such as business school, university or trade school. Not to mention providing higher education free of charge, just as we do K-12. All of these things, and more, would lessen the strain on our prison system, effectively rendering death sentences obsolete. We also need to go back to the original meaning of the prison system. You go to prison because you are being punished. You are *supposed* to have your rights taken away. You should NOT have the ‘right’ to sue the government because you are given regular peanut butter and you want chunky! There should be no socialization, no television, no visitors, no nothing. No smoking, no soda, no magazines or movies. No access to the internet, phone or mail. Let’s return to punishment people! When someone is sent to prison for 6 months or longer, require education. That should be the only right they have. They should leave with a certificate/degree in hand. They’re supposed to be rehabilitated into productive members of society, right? Make it fucking happen!

Q. Have you ever thrown something out or gotten rid of it in the interest of ‘cleaning out the closet’ for moving or otherwise that you regretted later?
A. As a matter of fact, I have. Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed with ’stuff’ that I need to do some cleaning out. The only problem is that if I keep things around, even in a specific area or box, with the intention of getting rid of them later, I always go back and get something. To remedy this issue I have the hubby get rid of things as soon as I hand them to him. I instruct him to not ask me if I am sure or if I want to go through the box again because I will inevitably find something I ‘need’ to keep. Most often, it’s a book. Oh, how I treasure my books. On another note, I’ve found that I do this same thing with clutter of an intangible nature. I like to have issues settled in my mind so that I can move on to something else. I don’t like keeping my brain on one thing for too long. I like things to be final. I like closure. I like things to be dealt with and all done as soon as possible. I don’t enjoy having things ‘on my mind,’ One subject comes to mind and that is the issues I have with my sister. In the interest of starting a new life and moving on, I let some things go a long time ago without really thinking them through. My life has been better since I decided to ‘forget’ all of the things that made me so angry and write her out of my life. But sometimes I think that I didn’t really deal with my problems before shredding the papers filed away in the back of my brain. I have a selective memory when it comes to my past with my family.

Q. What is your ideal spiritual path/group/situation sometime in the future when you achieve your spiritual goal.. or do you have one?
A. I have only one goal and that is to find my goal. Right now I am working through some personal issues related to my spirituality and personality and it is very difficult. I used to be very opinionated and steadfast in what I thought was true. In the last 8-9 years I have become too…what’s the word…logical and accommodating. It was very difficult for me to write about the three questions above yours because it caused me to actually ‘decide’ what it is that I believe and not simply say ‘I understand both sides’ and leave it at that. I have gotten in the habit of not saying anything for so long that it’s come to the point where I don’t really believe anything. I suppose my goal is to have a greater understanding of myself and then move on to a greater understanding of my spirit.

Whew, last question. It’s really taken me awhile to answer all of these. Thank you all for making me use my brain. I’ve been out of practice and needed a push. It’s now 3 days after answering the question above and I think I’m ready for the final questions.

Q. Last time you were deep in thought (the time directly previous to when you read this), what were you deep in thought about?
A. The last time I was deep in thought was a couple of hours ago while reading a book. Sometimes when I’m reading I’ll just lay the book in my lap, close my eyes and really think about what I’ve just read, letting it sink in and swirl around for awhile. I’m reading about our total selves and what makes us a whole person. I was deciding if I believe I have a soul. In the last question I explained that I was having a tough time deciding what it was that I believed in and making a decision. The belief in a soul is really a pretty important thing, you either do or you don’t and what constitutes a soul is open to interpretation so it’s a very personal belief. I’ve come to the conclusion that I believe we have a physical body, a mind (not meaning brain), a soul and a spirit. Rather, we are spirits with a physical body, mind and soul. It’s all made up of the same energy but each with it’s own function and purpose. I guess it could be likened to the human genome. If all goes well you end up with a normal human being. Change one little thing and you are still a human being but you come out with pointy ears, six fingers or your kneecap in the middle of your back. We are all part and parcel of the same energy but that one little change decides on which vibration the physical body lies. Another little change decides on which vibration our spirit lies, etc. So that’s the kind of crap that flutters about in the cobwebbed corners of my head lately. Fun, huh? LOL

And so ends the journey into the mind of one bored housewife.

Which mental disorder do you have?

A continuation of this but I’m in the mood to do it again because I need some writing prompts. The last time I posted, people emailed me the questions and I answered them. Forgetting to post it in my blog. *sigh* So here we go again!

I want everyone who reads this (that means even you lurkers. I know you’re there!) to ask me 3 questions…no more, no less. Ask me anything you want and I’ll answer it. Is there something you’ve always wanted to ask me but never knew how to ask? Is there something you have always wanted to ask *someone* but didn’t have the courage? C’mon people, give me a challange. Gimme something good, something to dish about, something to get me out of this non-posting rut I’m in. Make me laugh, make me cry, make me scream in frustration, make me wonder where you got the nerve to ask THAT! Make me answer your questions with so much information that you have nightmares of my kookiness and dysfunction. It can be personal, trivial or anything in between. Nothing is off limits. I promise you will get an in depth, honest answer. Then go to your journal (if you have one), copy and paste this, allowing everyone to ask you anything. Or not. Whatever. I just need some fire under my ass to get back to writing about stuff!

Between us and only us… whoever reads this, I wanna know 21 things about you. Fill in all the blanks… leave no question unanswered!
ANSWER IT AND SEND IT TO ME (REPLY) THEN COPY AND REPOST IT FOR YOURSELF!
