Thus Ends UE

JessLeave a comment

Got a job this week, and while my wallet (and my husband and everyone else I know) is celebrating I'm just a bit melancholy about the whole thing. My dream is to make enough money to be able to stay home and write without being on unemployment so I can justify the home-time...and while the… Continue reading Thus Ends UE

On a Lighter Note:

I'm seriously excited about this movie: Haywire. Why? Because there's something empowering and utterly satisfying as a woman watching a tiny, built MMA fighter kick ass for real. And when I say for real I mean it: watch the first five minutes clip and you can tell Gina Carano knows what she's doing and Channing… Continue reading On a Lighter Note:

The Great Debate: Morals vs Freedom

Jess1 Comment

A facebook friend posted the following picture today. This, of course, started a whole line of comments both pro- and anti-choice. One of the most interesting ones I saw was the following: "I agree!! (to another pro-choice comment) But,,, they don't have the right to use it for birth control,there is always those special cases i… Continue reading The Great Debate: Morals vs Freedom

They’re not Resolutions. They’re goals with loose morals.

Sometimes the ability for one person to do anything that will make a difference to someone 10,000 miles away is so overwhelmingly insurmountable that said person has to just hope. I know my last few posts were pretty irritated: I'm easily fired up by a few topics, and violence against women is one of my… Continue reading They’re not Resolutions.

Sigh.

As a follow up to a previous post, "Honor" requires MARRYING YOUR RAPIST in Afghanistan. And despite international outcry for her treatment, the victim is seriously considering doing so to "save the family name." I'm not judging her: I'm judging her FAMILY. First, a family member rapes her and SHE'S sentenced to jail. For what… Continue reading Sigh.

For my dogs. Which I typed as "gods" by accident once during this post. Also, life is apparently exhausting: Exhausting to the point of looking dead:

This morning I feel like I've been sucked into a Twilight Zone alternate universe, and it's a bad, bad version..The democratic President whom I have supported has taken away a major female right to privacy and medicine. Teenage girls can now overdose on asprin or cold medicine just like normal, but they can't get the… Continue reading Oh Don’t You Worry Your Pretty Little Head, Honey

And counting! Ever feel like a second chance is standing there hitting you in the face with a board? Yeah. I"m there. I figure I have about three more weeks, maybe four, before some of these resumes I've been sending start to pay off, especially since I'd like to get back into reinsurance, which means… Continue reading 10,000 Words

The Apocalypse is in Elementary Schools

JessLeave a comment

Let me preface this post with two details: 1) I went to elementary school long before the Columbine shootings allowed schools to capitalize on fear and 2) I don't have children of my own. I, however, don't believe that common sense about children requires having them. I've posted on this before regarding the KINDERGARTNER who… Continue reading The Apocalypse is in Elementary Schools

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

 “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already… Continue reading "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
