Hello world. I've been ignoring you. It's not you, it's me. Trust me. We'll be parted soon enough.
So this blog... rumour has it that it's going to have a mark slapped on it sometime soon, and I'm kind of praying (to whom, I don't really know) for mercy on this one. (Regarding my last post- university grades are worth praying for.)I feel like there should be some sort of conclusion to it, even though I tell myself that I'm going to keep writing it just as a project to do. And there really is no conclusive paragraph for something this random. So I share with you a theory.
Some people (and really, I don't know names) say that sexuality, sex and porn are not actions or identities we live with. Rather they are just particular ways of looking at something, someone or an action. Does that make it entirely in the eye of the beholder? Can something become porn or sexual as soon as someone gets turned on by it? Like, do the BOGO commercials for Payless Shoes become a threesome for someone with a foot fetish (presuming they are aroused by the ad)? For someone who is completely turned off by or has no reaction to "mainstream" porn, is it still porn? Does porn just have to be something you find arousing? Can we just call whatever we find arousing (be it sexually, intellectually, emotionally, or whatever) porn? Everyone has their own Disneyland. Why can't everyone have their own pornland if they want one? This isn't really making sense... so one would think I'd research some shit before posting this. But I'm not...maybe after I finish Jenkins and Bruhm & Hurley.
PS This is my Disneyland.

Hell: I've got my ticket in hand
By now it's no secret that I watch way too much TLC...so I just thought I would throw this out there... it weirds me out how much the Dugger's say "I'll pray for you", or "I pray your *minor event/occurence* goes well". I was always under the impression that prayer was an important thing to these people, but they just toss it around so much it's lost all meaning. And you'd think they'd want to give Jesus/God a break now and then... do they really think he has time to give a shit about stupid little details for every person that prays about them? What does their use of prayer then say about them, if they're willing to just throw them out there with every other sentence? Are they actually praying? And do they put the same "effort" into praying for little things that they do for the larger things like ending rampant poverty and starvation, war and inequality?

Gender dichotomy is so last year
Oh hey, blog. Remember the time I used to write and update you much more often? Yeah, things happen and I kind of stopped doing that... but I think of you often. And there are some serious rants that need to be posted. Charlottetown has this free magazine/newspaper called "G!" or something. Flipping through it, I became flabbergasted (do people still say that?) by all the gendered articles... there was a lot of "you are a man, therefore you must/must not do this" and "women are like this". Seriously? Is this a paper/magazine written by kids in grade six? Ugh.
It's late, and I've got early class, but there will be a couple of posts in direct response to some of these rediculous articles.
PS- there will be more frequent postings. that's both a threat and a promise.

The KKK has managed to confuse me even more
Am I the only one who finds it weird that the KKK would use Cat Stevens to help make their arguments?
