Jeffrey Brown again…
I have a crush on someone who all I know of him is from the graphic novels he produces. I have been reading so much of Jeffrey Brown that at this very moment, my crush on him is definitely keeping me from falling asleep because I just keep reading and reading. This past weekend and the beginning of this week have been filled with several feelings. I finally finished moving into the new apartment. I now have to unpack and get my life together for more wonderful adventures ahead.
Last night, I did something I thought I would never let anyone do to my head. I let Wilson the cat buzz my head. It’s not too short but just perfect. He did an amazing job. My rat tail is growing nicely and now you can see the definition of it flowing on the back of my neck.
I want to write so much about so many things…I think tonight before I sleep, I will type!!!

Jeffrey Brown is helping my day…I guess
Jeffrey Brown is a graphic novel writer. He draws and writes about his life and then makes it into a book. I am reading Unlikely at the moment. I hope that at this current time it is helping my day go by faster. I should be super happy that I got a hair cut and now you can see my rat tail. I should be excited that there is only basically an hour left of work. I should be happy that I have off tomorrow, but guess what…I am not happy. Everything nowadays is about how this and that is Emo. What the hell is wrong with feeling things anymore or writing about them. Now Emo music is not very pleasing in part because the actual music is horrible and the lyrics are not very well thought out. Having emotions and being Emo are different. Point being, just because I am not super happy right now, or am feeling down and worried; does not mean that I cannot talk about what is bothering me. I lost the writing at this very moment.

Date Rape and Harry Potter none which I find fun to joke about…
The following video is brought to you by The Onion news. The video has been bothering me since I heard about it and got to see the footage. Not only do I love Harry Potter and I do not believe making fun of it is any type of funny. The main reason for my dislike in this comedy is the fact that usage of rape as a joke is NOT FUNNY. Though they are trying to insult the news, nothing can be more distasteful than using violence against other human beings as a form of comedy. Rape is no joking matter. To make this matter worse the last joke in this clip is referring to a sex change operation and death. I should not have to explain why this is not appropriate or funny. Though, some might disagree with me or say that I do not have a sense of humor. There are certain situations in life that promote people to find violence against women or humans in general, as a joke.
Please take the time to analyze this yourself and see where you stand on this topic.
(Rape/Date Rape is a violation and violent act on someone’s body and mind.)

Email fowarding can work…
This is an email that was sent over a listserve I belong to at the University. I believe that this is something we should all be aware of and take the time to look at. Women’s health is important and it goes along with the equal rights that are fought for everyday.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND DO THIS.
From a nurse:
I’ll never forget the look in my patients eyes when I had to tell them they had to go home with the drains, new exercises and no breast.
I remember begging the Doctors to keep these women in the hospital longer, only to hear that they would, but their hands were tied by the insurance companies.
So there I sat with my patients, giving them the instructions they needed to take care of themselves, knowing full well they didn’t grasp half of what I was saying, because the glazed, hopeless, frightened look spoke louder than the quiet ‘Thank You they muttered.
A mastectomy is when a woman’s breast is removed in order to remove cancerous breast cells/tissue.
If you know anyone who has had a Mastectomy, you may know that there is a lot of discomfort and pain afterwards. Insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure.
Let’s give women the chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after surgery.
It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important .. Please take the time and do it really quick!
Please send this to everyone in your address book.
If there was ever a time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those times.
If you’re receiving this, it’s because I think you will take the 30 seconds to go to vote on this issue and send it on to others.
You know who will do the same.
There’s a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will require Insurance Companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It’s about eliminating the ‘drive-through mastectomy’ where women are forced to go home just a
few hours after surgery, against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.
Lifetime Television has put this bill on their Web page with a petition drive to show your support. Last year over half the House signed on.
PLEASE!! Sign the petition by clicking on the Web site below. You need not give more than your name and zip code number.

Do what you want with this information.
Feel free to disclose any opinions that need to be let out.

The Stranger…
I just finished reading the book, The Strangerby Albert Camus. I must let all of you know that I do not particularly like Philosophy but this book is well done and makes you think in a different way. My last Philosophy class ruined me. It definitely did not make me want to ever pick up that subject ever again but I think this reading material just changed my mind.
The rat tail grows everyday…centimeter by centimeter until it will be acknowledged by everyone!
Yesterday was America’s birthday and I had a great time. I think it would have been the same good time with Wilson the cat, Anne, and my partner even if it was not America’s birthday.
I get off of work in an hour!
I will write later…maybe
mwhahaha!
