5. I wonder what else I can do on the internet that looks like being busy at work but will not get me fired if the boss wanders in.

4. It’s a good thing I don't have force powers or more people would have surreptitious
"choke a bitch" related deaths.

3. Biting people is not socially acceptable no matter how much they deserve it or how much fun it will be.

2. Ooooo Pretty!

1. Wait, if I say this will I still be married/employed/in-one-whole-piece.

This weekend was full. Very very full. I still have the stiff neck, smell of wood smoke and blood of a king on my sock to prove it. Religious pilgrimage FTW.
Special shout out love to:
Miriam: who offered her house - even though we didn't get there cause we fell down sleepy where we were.
Kira/Warren: who invited is to their home and let us crash after too much fun for one day and lovely chats :)
Traci: for great breakfast convos and heads up on the play.
Dionysius: for letting me fulfill my orgy fantasies(warmer and less clothes next time ok...with out the large old famous dood trying to crush the life out of me kthnx)

More laters on play itself

On the Amendment (Franken Amdt. No. 2588 )

Amendment Number:	S.Amdt. 2588 to H.R. 3326 (Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010)
Statement of Purpose:	To prohibit the use of funds for any Federal contract with Halliburton Company, KBR, Inc., any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, or any other contracting party if such contractor or a subcontractor at any tier under such contract requires that employees or independent contractors sign mandatory arbitration clauses regarding certain claims.

(Quoted from Mark Modford)

"...Here is freshman Minnesota senator Al Franken's first-ever legislative action, a relatively simple, almost laughably surefire bill requiring the Pentagon no longer do business with any contractor -- hi, Halliburton! -- that requires its employees to agree that she cannot sue said contractor if she is, oh let's just say, gang raped by its employees.

You read that right. It's a can't-sue-us-if-you're-raped clause. In a U.S. government contract. Aimed squarely at Halliburton."

Texas:

Cornyn (R-TX), Nay

Hutchison (R-TX), Yea

What this means is that one of our Texas Senators, John Cornyn voted "No" on this amendment. 
So this means that Mr. Cornyn voted to continue to do business with KBR (Halliburton) after KBR (Halliburton) made Ms. Jamie Leigh Jones sign a contract that would prevent her from bringing suit against  her employer for being Gang Raped and imprisoned by her employer. 

Contact your senator and tell him he is a f*ckstick.  Better yet vote against him in the next election.

Cornyn, John - (R - TX)

I am doing a project and am looking for old pictures of me.  Please contact me if you have any.  Costume pics are a plus...changeling pics are even better :)

So there is this game for the DS (a DS is like the gameboy's older cooler smarter cousin back from college but not to cool to hang out).  So this game called Scribblenauts. 

This is the premise, your avatar is a little boy, he can write anything on his magical pad and it appears.  And when I say anything I mean anything.  I mean barring vulgar or copyrighted stuff this is Nintendo we are talking about here and it is a kids game.  However you solve little puzzles by summoning anything your little heart desires on the pad.  Sounds cool right? Yes. Sounds simple right? Not so much.  The things you summon don't always do what you want them to do.  I mean it is a puzzle game it has to be a challenge.

Anyway, so you have like thousands of things you can summon as long as you can spell it.  Wow an imaginative game for kids that even adults would like.  So what does my Wife do?

No Holds Barred Cage-match to the Death!

Round 1:
Angel vs. Devil
Winner: Demon (the angel runs away)

Round 2:
God vs. Devil
Winner: God (who looks exactly like Zeus)

Round 3:
God vs. Death
Winner: Death (by TKO)

Belt goes to Death, Winner and still Champion!!! 

(Death could not be reached for comment, said he had pressing business with the evangelical republican movement or as he called it the E1R1 plague)

Nothing like getting homework from my Mentor and then the same homework from my horoscope :p

Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22)

What you say is important to you is a whole lot different than what looks important to you, based on your actions. Much of what you do doesn't seem to further your supposed higher agenda (and frequently runs counter to it). List the top seven things that matter to you. Be specific (don't just say "My lover," but perhaps "Adding to my lover's happiness, well-being, and success"). Then make a list of exactly how you spend your time and energy. Do the lists align? For instance, if "Getting laid frequently" is on your Top 7 list, "Going to the gym" in most cases ought to be right up there on the other list. If they don't match up, don't you think you ought to adjust one list or the other until they do?

Ever feel like some days you are chillin out hangin by some big mountain thingy (metaphorically) and look up and realize its really the Goddess's big toe?  And then realize dood I've only seen part of the big toe!  Wow there is a lot to see.  Then think woooow...thats my big toe too....

So I have been thinking lately about prayer. Which I think about a lot. Prayer is lots of things. I think we all see the idea of the child kneeling by the bed as prayer. I would call this a meditative devotional prayer. Prayer to me is the thing I do to connect to the divine. Now there are differing ideas around that. However I mean active, on purpose connection to the divine. And to do that I have to remain open.

Now I’m a child of my age so this is how I see it. We are each our own organic computers and the Internet is the Divine. You get there though an ISP or Religion/path. But it is the same internet(divine) for people on AOL(Hindi) and Comcast(Southern Baptist). This could be said of all the Religions, they are the gateway to the Divine. Who teaches and helps us connect to the great place of all information where we all touch.

Yes I know this metaphor breaks down, but it works rather well. I mean we each develop prayer to remotely contact the Divine(wireless). Or you can go to a church and connect manually (LAN). Or you can go out in the wild and find a place where the divine is connected (Wireless Hotspot). And think about group prayer in a church. They are resetting and linking up their wireless routers with the new updates of that particular ISP(religion). 

But the point is to keep that port open so you can connect. Are there risks…of course.

If you keep the port closed you can be alone, you don’t have to update, and you don’t have to interact. You don’t have to change or check your internal clock. 

My wireless card is only so-so still. I can’t keep it on at all times. I’m learning to unblock that port for larger amounts of times. I’m learning that the risk of viruses and Spiritually Transmitted Disease is more than worth it. My hope is to be able to stay connected full time. And it means no more hiding. And it means to be vulnerable.

I’m told Power and Compassion use the same channel. And as one increases you must increase the other or you have false power and idiot compassion. I know for me I have found this to be true. And I have found Power through Love. It’s like my ability to love and have compassion is the most Power I can have and control. And yes it means I have to be more vulnerable than ever and re-think all of my connections. And take every situation and person for who they are instead of pre-judging based on what they look like. And I do not have the luxury of allowing anyone else to tell me what is right or wrong. And I do not have the luxury of reciting dogma or falling back on tradition.

I shall pray on it.
