To Donate or Not To Donate...That Is The...
I like POTUS, I really, really do. I wish he had a stronger stance on gay marriage… I’m sorry, but a Constitutional Law professor and practitioner should understand that a civil union does not provide the same protection rights as a legally sanctioned marriage.
I wish he would be stronger… these crazy children (yes, children) in Congress need a school marm they’re...

I had...
I had close to 1,000 followers when I made the hot-tempered decision to delete my other tumblr. I cared about maybe a hundred of them… They were hard victories and a hodge podge of people that like my political posts or my womens rights posts or my sensual photos… some probably only liked the mention of the Vampire Diaries.
I miss some of them, greatly… and, a part of me...

Springsteen’s Eulogy for the Big Man: ‘Clarence... →
FOR THE BIG MAN
I’ve been sitting here listening to everyone talk about Clarence and staring at that photo of the two of us right there. It’s a picture of Scooter and The Big Man, people who we were sometimes. As you can see in this particular photo, Clarence is admiring his muscles and I’m pretending to be nonchalant while leaning upon him. I leaned on Clarence a lot; I made a career out of it...

Dear Aunt Becky, From Full House
I have no idea why you invaded my dreams… or why you were hiding under my bed in said dream… No idea what corner of my subconscious you came from, but I appreciate your brief message before I suddenly realized my alarm was going off…
Perhaps, it wasn’t you as “you”, perhaps it was you as another character… I’ll have to search IMDB in a little bit,...

Unfortunately, the truth is, rich white assholes do think about these people. They just don’t give a shit about them.
They can fly their privileged daughters overseas for an abortion performed out of the country, far...

Dear Mr. Woods
I was watching ESPN tonight at the gym. (It’s the only place I glance at ESPN… trust.) And, on their scrolling “important information” line at the bottom of the screen, they were stating that you were opting out of yet another tournament.
Now, I know you’ve got some injuries… and I know you’ve been raked over the coals in the press. I have no idea how...

So, I'm Moving In A Few Weeks...
(I cannot get motivated today… I blame a vitamin deficiency… and I blame this post on the fact that I may or may not be downloading Games of Thrones…)
…and, I need to make some decisions regarding cable and Internet. Internet, though, is pretty squared away.
I don’t watch cable all that much. I get most news I need / want from print or reputable online sources....

Houston Area 4th of July Events →
I cannot believe that in a drought as bad as we’re having, they’re actually still going to have fireworks in some communities…
…So, I’m thinking I might bake some cookies to take to some firehouses in the city. I feel badly for the firefighters this year… This will be one difficult weekend for them.

I still say this “Presidential” run is to set herself up for a payday a la Sarah Palin. She can’t possibly think she’ll secure the nomination and, if she secures the nomination, she can’t possibly...

The benefits of “take your niece to work day” today:
“Aunt Bethany, show me that game you got when you first got your iPad….” (This, after being told her mom was on her way and would be here in like 15 minutes so she couldn’t watch another movie on Netflix…)
I ended up taking 15 minutes to do this:
…after she played a game I started for her...
I once told someone...
…write it, anyway… but save it in a draft until you’re sure you want to post it or delete it.
Heeding my own advice… or starting to, again.

I will get my template back in later tonight or tomorrow…
Personal references will be few and far between… and they will be more guarded… and may be deleted every few days or so.
Lexi posts will be a must.
More my own blogs, less reblogging. Freer sense of self, since this one is not connected with my Facebook page - until I can get my privacy groups set up accurately and...
