Have you seen these dumb home security commercials? If anything it makes me not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a security system. Kudos for making all the bad guys white though. A home alarm system is essentially useless in these situations. The only time they're any good is when you're not home, but even then if a false alarm goes off, you end up paying for the police to get there. If someone did try to break in while you were home, you have what...seconds to react? Calling some asshole sitting at a desk is not going to prevent someone from hurting you. Fuck that. Get a goddamn gun. That's right, living down South has turned me into a redneck. Better than a dead redneck though. Calling the 911 number in Atlanta means you'll be on hold for 5 minutes or longer. Point is, no one is going to save you but yourself.

The other thing I don't understand is why some women refuse to carry any kind of weapon for protection. Like refuse. I have 2 friends who laughed at me when I told them I carry mace and a knife. Guess what, the bad people go to good people places and hurt them there. They don't fucking rob the hoods. Sure if someone tried to hurt me and acted quickly, having mace probably won't be much help. However, having any kind of protect should naturally give you more confidence, and that's probably the thing that will save you.

There's a delicate balance between being in a relationship while still maintaining your independence. You need someone who you can live your life with, but don't have to share every single aspect of your life with them. For example: Brian loves the outdoors, he loves snowboarding, all that active stuff which I don't care for. I will go on hikes sometimes but snowboarding is not my thing. I hate the cold and I'm not athletic at all, not to mention it's a fucking expensive sport. However, he's totally free to go snowboarding with his friends if he wants, he never makes me feel bad about it. We have so much in common already, but sometimes I have nagging thoughts that I should really be into all that too. But whatever, he could be dating a chick who's awesome at snowboarding and probably a crazy ass bitch.

It's difficult to maintain a relationship if you have nothing in common, eventually you will grow to resent each other, or feel like the other person is holding you back. If everything else about the relationship is well-rounded, you have good communication, good sex, etc...then having few things in common shouldn't matter. If you do not share the same passions, you still have to support the other person and their passions. Unless of course their interests include playing Wow 16 hours a day and ignoring you, then you need to dump that fuckhead (not marry it like my friend is doing.)

(I apologize for the atrocious grammar in this post.)

We are all royally, hopelessly fucked for the rest of recorded time.

By a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court on Thursday rolled back restrictions on corporate spending in federal campaigns. "Under today's decision, insurance companies, banks, drug companies, energy companies and the like will be free to each spend $5 million, $10 million or more of corporate funds to elect or defeat a federal candidate -- and thereby to buy influence over the candidate's positions on issues of economic importance to the companies."

Why Men Cheat: A Year of Philandering

My take has always been that given the chance, most guys would cheat. Unlike Tiger Woods, most guys don't have hot chicks flinging themselves at him 24/7, so it's easier for them to not cheat because the temptation is not there. Why were people so shocked? Dude was probably a huge nerd growing up playing golf all day and now big tits are all up in his face. Course he's gonna cheat.

The expectation that everyone be monogamous needs to change. Most people fucking suck at it. It takes off the societal pressure to get married and stay with one person for the rest of your life. I know there is a biological component to cheating, but infidelity in most marriages aren't always due to the guy just wanting to spread his seed. Due to various circumstances one partner decides they no longer want sex. Or they have kids. Kids will destroy a sex life pretty damn quick. There are only 2 ways to deal with that. 1) Let the other partner sleep with other people, or get their rocks off some other way. 2) Break up. It's not really fair to marry someone, then later decide to never have sex with them again. And refusing to acknowledge or care about the fact that their sexual needs are not being met. They are no longer obligated to stay with you, sorry. You either work out something to stay together so the kids can have a decent upbringing or you part ways. The thing is, I think some people would be ok with their partner sleeping with others as a solution, it's just not condoned so it's never on the table. They are concerned about how their open relationship will be viewed by others. People still see marriage as the end of all things fun, so it's no wonder they can't stay in them.

The central problem here is we fail at communicating our expectations and needs because monogamy is the rule. I'm a huge fan of monogamy, I'm good at it, it's the way I want to live my life. Doesn't mean I think everyone has to. I suppose in this age of rapid change, the incentive of staying with one partner for the rest of your life isn't as strong. Maybe when you're 50 and realize you don't want to be alone, it kicks in. Would we be healthier if we gave in to our biological instincts? Apparently some people are able to remain together even when one or both have cheated, so fidelity is not always the strongest bond in a marriage. We need to find a way to get our sexual needs met while maintaining healthy relationships. For the sake of the children.

On a side note: Do black men cheat more than everyone else? I don't think there are any other genres of music that talks about cheating more than Hip Hop/RNB. Maybe white people just don't wanna sing/rap about their scandals.

Watched The Wrestler last night. Aronofsky is an amazing director, Rourke was great. That said, I felt absolutely no empathy towards his character.

SPOILER I don't see a man consumed by his passion, driven by hope, even to his last breath. I see a weak motherfucker who self destructs to fuel his own sense of power. Someone so stupid and blinded by glory, they cannot see the countless chances for redemption. People like that piss me off. "But he went down doing what he loved." Hmm no. If what you love drives you to ruin your body, wreck your chance of healthy relationships with those who truly love you, then you're just being a selfish prick. If there is only one and one thing that defines you, it's time to diversify your portfolio.

(Also, idiots at the strip club calling Marisa Tomei old? Yeah that's fucking realistic.)

Pretty sure none of your kids deserve those toys.

1. When people trip and then turn it into a jog. We're all human, relax.
   
   
2. When people pull cruel "pranks" that aren't pranks at all. Saran wrapping someone's entire cube is a prank. I would argue that putting mousetraps all over someone's bed is not a prank. Telling someone that their loved one is dead is not a prank. Shit is cheap and uncreative.
   
   
3. People describing others as "seems like someone I could have a beer with." Really? That's how low your standard is?
   
   
4. Truck nuts. It's like...This Dodge Ram is not doing enough to speak about the kind of man I am. Any real man needs a pair of nuts on his hitch. Do they realize how incredibly homosexual that is? Can you get gayer than male genitalia hanging off the back of your car?
   
   
5. Religious nuts who homeschool their kids.

Brian and our friend Candice shot & edited a short video for local graffiti artist Hense. Check 'er out.

She is 10.5 weeks old. It's been a day and a half since we got her. She's adapted very well so far. She's doing ok with toilet training, she will mostly pee on pads and when we go outside. Problem now is she is very apprehensive about being alone, we're trying to get her comfortable with the crate. I know it's still early and she needs time to learn, but I want to start training her right away. I haven't had much sleep just trying to keep up with her.

After months of publicly supporting health care reform, insurers are warning Congress that under the Baucus health care bill, “the cumulative increases in the cost of a typical family policy…will be approximately $20,700 more than it would be under the current system.”source

Guess what shitheads? You raise people's premiums every year anyway. Why don't you say that if they pass the bill you'll gang rape everyone's grammas? That's more threatening.

WHAT'S YOURS?

Everyone should make a copy of their medical bills and mail it to the Congress people opposed to changing health care. Fucking assholes.

I used to think anarchists were kinda hot, but I just realized now they're just a bunch of assholes with a lazy sense of fashion.

"If Johnny Depp's or Meryl Streep's name winds up on that list I think I will actually cry. I don't know what I will do if Jodie Foster puts her name on it." - Regarding celebrities' petition to free pedo rapist Roman Polanski.

Wah my world is crumbling because a bunch of famous people I don't know and will never meet supports rape.

Lately I've been having really weird existential moments where I'll be sitting across from Bri at dinner, or waking up from a nap and for a few seconds I'll wonder "Is this really me? Is this really my life?" It's not a bad thing, I don't have regrets, I'm quite happy. It's just this out of body feeling like I'm aware of my own consciousness but at the same time I feel very detached from it. Maybe it has to do with me moving and starting my "adult" life down here. Or maybe the Buddhists are right, everything material in this world is an illusion. I'm not religious but the idea of reincarnation is really attractive right now.

Do not watch Life After People, that show depresses the shit outta me.

New Rule: If America can't get its act together, it must lose the bald eagle as our symbol and replace it with the YouTube video of the puppy that can't get up. As long as we're pathetic, we might as well act like it's cute. I don't care about the president's birth certificate, I do want to know what happened to "Yes we can." Can we get out of Iraq? No. Afghanistan? No. Fix health care? No. Close Gitmo? No. Cap-and-trade carbon emissions? No. The Obamas have been in Washington for ten months and it seems like the only thing they've gotten is a dog.

Home ownership is overrated. It seems to me like such an outdated concept, along with the linear idea of marriage, kids, retirement, and meeting Jesus. You don't hear people mentioning the "American Dream" anymore, because really at this point America is no longer the kind of place that fosters the idea of hard work and success. Everything points to people getting rich for basically doing nothing.

Anyway, if I do decide to buy a house in the distant future, it would be a prefab.

I'm looking for an individual health insurance plan, something basic that will cover trips to the lady doctor adequately. After wading through the shit pool that is individual coverage, I now have the option of either going with a simple plan like Aetna's "Managed Choice Open Access Value 10000 with Dental", or get insurance from a site that looks like it's designed for Sam Goody. Tonik: this ain't cho Daddy's insurance. Finally...a healthcare plan for my generation. Can't decide if I'm a Part-time Daredevil or a Calculated Risk Taker. Cause I like taking risks with my health, as much as I love base jumping!

You know how someone killed the abortion doctor? Why couldn't it have been the CEO of Humana?

Elderly people work out with wooden dumb-bells in the grounds of a temple in Tokyo on September 21, 2009 to celebrate Japan's Respect-for-the-Aged-Day.

Meanwhile...






Also, apparently September is also known as National Biscuit Month, followed by the following "food holidays": Cheeseburger Day, Cheese Pizza Day, Coffee Ice Cream Day, TV Dinner Day, Chocolate Milkshake Day, Cream Filled Donut Day, etc etc. No wonder everyone's fat as fuck. Whole list of food holidays, just in case you were wondering. If you celebrated every day, you'd be dead by the end of the year.
