Running Out of Time
May 28, 2008
Time is a precious commodity. People often underestimate its value because they do not take the time (no pun intended…really) to think about it. Time is the one thing you can give a person that you cannot regenerate. Once you have spent even five minutes of your time on them, you cannot get that five minutes back. That is in the past, and we cannot go into the past.
But people tend to take advantage of time more than they do spend it. They think they have all the time in the world to hate, disrespect, or hurt on even the ones they love. They will learn from their mistakes, right? And that is what life is all about, right? But why do they have to wait until it is too late? So often we hear that; we hear of lost opportunities, lost loves, and lost chances period. So sure that that one person will always be there, that that one job position is always yours, or that you will always get that chance to tell your mother that you love her, that we grow complacent in taking advantage of life.

Abort! Abort! Abort!

With the upcoming presidential elections being more of a horse and pony show than a political agenda, I sat down to think about what America has become. When we moved in on the Native Americans and took over their land, we sought freedom from a monarchy that we had no say in posting. We did not know really that this was our intent though; it seemed to develop over time. Initially we were just good with gaining more land, riches, and glory. Soon settling in the British colonies was not enough; we wanted better.
The constitution was formed with the intent “to form a more perfect Union…” and to establish a creed for the United States of America. What is often used (or misused in many cases) in debates is the first amendment: Read more

Needs More Sugar

There is a saying ‘have your cake and eat it too‘ that is often used as an insult. That is because it usually is. I mean, no matter what way you look at it or twist it, that is ultimately what you are asking for. No matter what word play you use to justify your actions, it still makes it an insult.
I do not think I take for granted inherent things in the world. Is it not inherent that you be faithful to your girlfriend or boyfriend regardless of whether or not a ring is on their finger? Should it not be an agreement by both of you if you decide to step out on them? I mean, think about all the emotions you have to play with to do that. You first hurt the one you claim to love because they have now become insufficient for you; they cannot give you what you want so their role has been minimized to nothing. You make them feel that small that you actually expect them to take you back into their bed afterwards as if to call them a whore. Then you have the one that you cheat with; they think they now have a chance with you and get hurt when you say ‘no’. Sex should not be about fucking. Sex should be about making love and showing that love to your partner. You cheat with that person, they think it will go somewhere. Perhaps it will. Perhaps that is what you want all along. Despite what you say. You disrespect two people and make them both whores when you cheat. Read more

Emotions and Women
May 4, 2008
As a woman, I am programmed to be emotional. It is encoded in our DNA somehow I am sure. However, I am further prone to be more emotional because I am hypersensitive; it is a trait of many Aquarians really. But in looking at many of the things that upset me, not many of them are unwarranted. One would think that because I am hypersensitive, I would get my feelings hurt easily, but it is not that simple. Sure, they may hurt more easily than the next person, but with rights. If someone I love talks down to me, it will hurt; is that wrong? If someone I care about calls me a name, it will hurt; is that wrong?
What is it in humanity that has told us we can no longer feel? As independent women especially, we are supposed to put on the persona of a man and adhere to the hard exterior that they display so often. This is what ‘we’ asked for, right? Yet, I do not remember signing the petition to be independent. I missed the right to choose I think. Sure, women have more rights now (rightly deserved too), but since when do rights dictate emotions? Just because I have the same rights as men or ask for them even, does not mean I have to be like men. I mean, I do not have a male member (and have no desires to obtain one) so why do I have to have male emotions (or lack thereof)?
I am a hypersensitive individual by nature, but I do not think my role, position, or gender should dictate my emotions any further than nature already does.
