i know i should go to bed
2:18 am
i know it's too late and i'll suffer for it in 4 hours
but still i had to pay homage
i've always liked rosie for some reason
something about her honesty and edge and realness
but don't follow celeb stuff like blogs or anything...
tho' i've read a few times random articles about things she'd said on her blog
but tonight was the first time i checked it out
she writes cool
broken thoughts
almost like haiku or some strange poetry
and it made me think
you don't have to have something relevant to the world to talk about
contrary to something i read recently....that the true blogger machine cares about proper grammar and punctuation and so on...and that no one wants to read your personal life's story
but that's all bs. the point of blogging, i think, is oto have a venue to be yourself....vent...express...complain...muse....laugh at yourself and the world
anyway, baby waking...point is
just reveal
speak
think
muse
vent
don't worry about what the hell others might be interested in
do it for yourself
and so it shall be.
sleep well...or wander well

our government has an attitude problem
i read an article yesterday about a mexican man on death row that was never told that he could...and subsequently never allowed...to contact the diplomats from his country that might help him
repeatedly they have tried to get him help (hey ...i gotta say i don't know if now he's claiming he didn't do it....they say he made a written confession...i think he's appealing repeatedly because mexico has no death penalty...and so the country objects to our laws and thinks they should be able to extradite him)
there was a treaty put in place in 1968 that allowed provisions for people to be allowed help from their countries diplomats when involved in the US legal system
the international court ruled in 2004 that the US is wrong for not recognizing and adhereing to that treaty and ordered that the guy, and i believe, 50 other people like him, be allowed a retrial
president bush agreed that there should be retrials
congress laughed and said...well i guess you don't need congress then, and the president gets to decide everything
and with a big fat hairy chip on their shoulder, has not followed through, it seems, out of spite
the state of texas says the international court and the presidents ruling have no say over what they decide to do and everyone can go stuff themselves
and everybody
in their sudden tornado of political bullshit
forgets the point
which is:
if the US had some of our people detained in another country, and they were being denied access to our help, not allowed to contact their home for advice or translation or anything; would we tolerate it? how would they feel if it was one of their family members...that guy in congress and the state of texas....would they say fuck that we are AMERICA.....get our people out of there?
one would think we would, no?
and yet, the courts and powers that be are so hypocritical and egotistical that they would deny that same freedom to others
why on earth would we expect people to treat us with respect?
i'm not big on organized religion...but one of the lessons that seems to ring true all over the world is
treat people the way you want to be treated
right?
not all of this other political power play bs
come on america, focus
food for thought
be well wanderers

3 GOP lawmakers call for Sen. Craig to resign
i realize that not everyone thinks being gay is....normal.
not that i'm gay, i just don't know what it feels like so how can i say people make it up? it's not my place to judge what others feel. besides, there are perfectly wonderful helpful responsible people all over the planet that are gay so what does it matter who they sleep with? and why are americans so nosy?
ahem
back to the point. even if politicians walk their thin ice of not supporting gay marriage.....i thought it has always been portrayed as if "we don't actually have anything against gay people persay...we just don't think that ...union should be legal." right? maybe i don't read enough news or watch enough tv....laughs
and then i read today that one of the republicans made a comment about how he plead guilty to conduct unbecoming a senator and should resign. that's laughable. for soooooo many reasons. but lets stick to this one topic eh?
ok first of all people....it's none of your business. i'm so tired of people bitching about what everyone else does in their personal lives...from the media to everyone else..here's an idea. if you spent more time working on your own lives and managing your own business you wouldn't have time to care about what anyone else does in their private time. as it should be.
so, who cares who he wants to fondle or if he's not strong enough to be able to live his real feelings except in anonymous random bathrooms. (which in itself is a sad statement really) (in this 'free' country of ours) it's none of my business and frankly i would rather not know....simply because it's private. i shudder at the thought of the way the media just rips to shreds peoples privacy and we let it happen. daily.
the thing i wonder is; has he done good work? is he a good human being? i actually can't answer it myself because i deliberatly don't watch the politics game....but the bigger point is...what's he done that's positive outside of potentially subtly propositioning another man?
(and why is this police business as well, i wondered. why do the police care if men want to connect like that....trying to be private and secretive...not a public show or blatant harrassment.....a simply system of quiet codes...
why on earth would the police feel like that's necessary to have undercover cops watching...is it a prostitution thing? when someone hits on you in a bar...a grocery store...at work..wherever...don't you just turn them down if your not interested? should we have undercover police planted everywhere people might hit on each other? good grief. can you imagine?)
back to conduct unbecoming. so that's where our goverment stands........if you are a person who feels like you are gay, you are not welcome or looked upon favorably from then on.
hmm. you might be incredibly motivated or kind or intelligent or helpful but if you are gay we don't want you so shove off. interesting. not that the person would be describing their bedroom escalades...or that anyone else talks about anything else they all do in their bedrooms.....(and wouldn't that be a bunch of interesting bag of little secrets to spill i bet)...but if we even have any knowledge of it in our heads you are too vile to join the old boys club?
rolls my eyes
the image we portray to the rest of the world is increasingly depressing

the grand internal debate
wow here i am again...i can hardly believe it
still on the giant internal debate
which never actually goes away
all work sucks right? i mean, unless you genuinely love it....work is work.
i saw a woman i met at my brothers wedding last month doing a stand up in new york on you tube...which was cool...she threw everything to the wind and just went for it with being a comedian so it was cool to see her on you tube...
but she made one of the jokes about jobs and work and explaining why your quitting something is so hard to explain...but did it by emoting how often there is "too much job in that job...do you have anything with a little less job in it?" lmao exactly. it's just a job...why do they become so self consuming?
anyway it was great
cool to see someone you know go for it
and do well
like the powers that be really do pay attention and bless you for following the path you were given
sighs
this is not helping my current dilemma heart vs. bills to pay
anyway i keep throwing bits into the wind....perhaps something will come back. or perhaps after 20 yrs i'll look back and think i was a gigantic pussy for not just diving in with both feet
of course i haven't made up my mind so who knows
life is so peculiar. i wonder if before you move on or move up or move down or whatever the case is when my body loses my spirit if you get to look back on your life and see how it all fell and have such clarity
wouldn't be any point unless you got to apply the lessons you could see to the next life though. wonder if there is a next life
well i think i know ...that there is....unmistakably...that we learn from each life until we are allowed to pass in to the next level...
but that's just what my gut says. i don't subscribe to any organized religion
anyway
what's all this about
listen to your gut
follow your heart
try to have faith that the universe will catch you
(note to self)
