Disturbing comment of the day

After working eight hours without speaking to a co-worker, he decides to ask a question. ¨When are you going to start wearing pants?¨

Difficult question, I mean who cares or what is it to you? I am no crazy Pentecostal or Satanic chick. I am just a city girl.

I resulted to answering, ¨When I stop feeling fat in them¨

A good day for free speech and the media: The Water Hog Case

Southeast United States is enduring a massive drought that has been affecting the states of Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. It is an interesting situation because it involves the needs of three states’ governments and those of the feds. The access and amount of water being used is at the center of the debate, and in the middle of such mayhem there is a water hog. The water hog is a man that lives in a suburb of Atlanta, whose residence requires the usage of water used by 60 homes per day.

What is left to do for the working people to do? Call the media.

The people of Cobb County in Georgia exposed the water hog and forced him to re-evaluate his greediness. Although the property still uses massive amounts of water, he reduced the water usage for his palace.

It makes me feel good to know that the media still serves the people.

I would like to take a picture of her naked body.

I would like to take a picture of her naked body.

Women, body image, and culture engage in a long conversation that intrigues and haunts us. The lines of the female body are admired and psychologically mutilated in each of us. Although culture is not restricted to a specific body type, culture plays a fascinating dance that defines and punishes our body lines.

In the case of the specimen of the Nacirema money allows for quite a freedom. I came across with young specimen that engages in mutilation practices, in order to satisfy our eyes. Linda is a 20 year old college student who loves going through multiple surgical procedures. She has undergone gastric bypass, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, chin modifications, and still succeeds in finding abusing boyfriends that put her down. Money allows for cuts of blood and a constant lack of satisfaction.

And what ever happened to diet, exercise, and working hard for a goal?

The Cats have to work their own politics.

Everything living and not living changes. As part of our nature, environmental change makes us more adapt to new situations. Individual adaptation makes our survival more pleasant. But this decade have proved to show tragic attempts to resist change, even when the environment allows for an easier social well being.

Some Case Studies:

Gay Scandals in the GOP-The recent cases of Bob Allen, Larry Craig, and Richard Curtis did not catch me by surprise. All were caught in the act, and pledged to their heterosexuality, which only leads to denial and more public embarrassment. Is quite confusing especially with the vast amount of gay rednecks in the states. Lucky us!!

The Great Wall between Mexico and U.S – I just cannot recall a wall that has worked. Well … I guess the Wall of China is a great tourist attraction.

Credit Lines- Just another form of slavery.
