Preserving the sanctity of marriage

I just love that Khloe Kardashian and LA Laker Lamar Odom are preserving the sanctity of marriage by getting married after only dating for 3 weeks.  Isn't it such a wonderful thing?  I mean, just think about it, you know someone for 3 weeks and you just know, you just know that you have found your soul mate and you just have to get married.

That was so much sarcasm I just couldn't go on.  It just makes me so sick that it's ok for these stars to get married at the drop of a hat just because they can yet there are people out there who have been together for 10-40 years and they can't even get married.  Chip and I have been together for 15 years and his cousin and her girlfriend have been together for something like 20 or 25 years, I can't remember but it's a long time.  Yet they can never get married, well in California at least.

I'm always seeing how these stars get married and they are married for a day and get annulled or the stars who are only married for a few months and their whole relationship is toast.  It's so easy for them to get married just because they can.  It's like they are taking what they have for granted yet I can never experience it as long as I live in California.

The one star who has really impressed me and made me like him more than ever is Brad Pitt who said that he and Angelina Jolie will not get married until ALL of the people in the US can get married.  Now that is a stand up person.  I liked him throughout his career but I wasn't as huge a fan until he made that statement.  Then I fell head over heels.

So congrats on your 3 week relationship Khloe and I hope that your 6 week - 6 month marriage is worth the 6 digits you are going to spend on your wedding.

Grow your own meat

Cocoon food grower wins Electrolux Design Contest - Source Dvice.com



Vegetarians rejoice.  This is the future of growing your own meat instead of killing animals for food.  Now vegetarians can start eating meat again because your conscious is now clear that your dinner didn't come to you at the cost of the life of an animal friend.

Here are a couple of quotes directly from that article on the Dvice website.

"He thinks that the Cocoon could make food shortages a thing of the past. "This will create 100 per cent pure meat without the need for animals to be killed and with no risk of contamination," said the 27-year-old. "It will change everything."

"The design, described as "controversial" by one of the judges, is made of glass, and works by cooking pre-mixed packets of muscle cells, oxygen and nutrients."

Of course you are asking yourself where do those cells come from?  Well I'm sure in order to get those cells they have to take them from somewhere.  But if the animal remains alive but with less cells which will regrow anyway then what harm is it to take the cells?

Anti-gay judge confirmed

I got this email today from Geoff Kors, Equality California and thought that it was something interesting enough to paste in here.

September 25, 2009

Dear Mike, Over Equality California’s strong objection, the Commission on Judicial Appointments confirmed Gov. Schwarzenegger’s selection of Senator Charles S. Poochigian for a seat on the 5th District Court of Appeal yesterday. We find this appointment by the Governor to be appalling. Not only because Poochigian voted against every LGBT bill that came before him while in the legislature. Not only because the Judicial Nomination Committee of the State Board found him “Not Qualified.” Not only because the National Organization for Women-California Chapter and other groups are opposed to his appointment due to his dismal record on issues pertaining to the rights of women, people of color, people with disabilities and workers. But because all Californians will have to wonder about his commitment to justice when important issues come before the Court. Poochigian’s appointment is an example of why we need to elect a governor in 2010 who will select candidates who support our equality. I wonder if the result would have been the same if the nominee had opposed laws to ban employment discrimination against another minority group. As the only group to testify against Poochigian at the hearing, EQCA believes it is critical that our community’s issues are heard, and they were — front and center. For more than two hours, the issue of discrimination and bias against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Californians was presented to the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, the Attorney General, the Presiding Judge of the 5th District Court of Appeals and dozens of judges attending this hearing. Going forward I hope you will share with me any instances of legal proceedings where Chuck Poochigian’s lack of support for equal rights under the law – or that of any judge – is demonstrated. We will collect and pass your complaints to the State Bar. Warmly, Geoff Kors Executive Director Equality California P. S. For more details about the hearing, read a transcript of my testimony, and read the Bay Area Reporter’s coverage.

Mackenzie Phillips Incestuous Relationship

Mackenzie Phillips Claims Father Raped, Drugged Her - Source MTV.com

Mackenzie Philips wrote a book about her life and in the book she shockingly revealed that her father basically raped her while she was passed out.  She woke to find him having sex with her.  After awhile it became consensual.  She was 19 years old the first time (that she knows of) so until she was 29 she stopped.

Her father was in the Mama's and the Papa's who was a hippie band from the 1960's.  I only knew who they were from Scooby Doo episodes in the 70's lol.

A heavy drug user at the time, Mackenzie was 19 when the incident allegedly occurred. "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too," she says. "Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed. ... My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father."

As her life began to spiral out of control due to drug use, Phillips said the incestuous relationship became consensual. "Had this happened before? I didn't know," Phillips said. "All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it."

Personally I don't think it's necessary for her to even talk about it.  Why after all these years did she decide to disclose this kind of thing?  I mean it's one thing if you are saying he did it to you without your consent but then to say that you were having relations with your own father for 10 years is kind of sad.

I just don't understand why now that he's dead she's talking about it.  It's like she is blaming him now for something that she had complete control of.  Yeah the first time she wasn't in control because she was so high that she was passed out on HIS bed but you have to ask yourself why she was doing drugs with her father in the first place.  She was 19 so she could've told him no and left and maybe had a fight over it but she chose to keep the relationship going.

In my mid 20's I went to therapy because I have a lot of issues lol.  There was one time that I was blaming someone for something and she told me that it's time for me to stop blaming other people and start taking responsibility for my own actions.  Basically what I'm saying is that she needs to do the same.  Blame him for the first time but stop blaming him for the 10 years that you were doing it consensually.

Rogaine Foam

I've been thinking about it a lot lately.  I'd like my hair back.  I started noticing I was going bald when I was 16 years old because the hair on the top of my head was a lot thinner than the rest of my head.  I have thick hair so having thin hair on the top was a very large clue that something was going wrong.

When I was 19 I already had a bald spot on the top of my head and was already being called chrome dome by my brother-in-law (ex now).  That was when I first heard about Rogaine but it was too expensive so I just never tried it.  I worked at Clark Drugs in Canoga Park at the time and the pharmacist confronted me telling me all about Rogaine lol.  He never spoke to me until they came out with Rogaine.  He gave me a brochure and let me take home a video to watch then return it.

At first I was excited about it until I saw how much it cost.  I think it was $50-$60 per month back then but now it's gotten a lot cheaper.  Naturally 20 years later I decide to think about it.

I've been seeing all these Rogaine Foam commercials on tv and so I decided to go to their website and check it out.  You can buy a pack of 4 cans of the Rogaine Foam for $60 but that is a 4 month supply.  If you break it down that makes each can $15.  If you buy 1 can it's $30 so yeah it's worth buying a 4 month supply.

Walmart sells it (not online though) for $47.97.  It's not a 4 month supply but more a 3 month supply but that breaks down to $16 per can which is still a good price and well worth it.

Walgreens is actually cheaper.  Well, it's currently on sale for $44.99 but that just brings the price down to $15 per can.  Their regular price is $49.99 which is $16.66 per can.

So knowing that it's cheaper than it was 20 years ago I'm giving this some serious thought.  If I buy it I think I'm going to buy it from Walmart since I don't want to pay shipping costs from the Rogaine website.

If I do start using Rogaine again it's going to have to be for the rest of my life.  It's not an easy fix, it does grow your hair back (in 85% of men who use it) but once you stop using it the hair you regrew will fall out.  So it's only a temporary fix.

Now I'm completely bald on the top of my head so I wonder if all of that will regrow or if some of it will regrow.  And yes I do realize that it will take 2-4 months before it starts to work which might become frustrating if I'm using it for 4 months before it grows.  I'm the type of person who likes instant action hehe.

I will have to hide it under lock and key though.  Chip will run out of hairspray for his long hair then decide the rogaine foam is like mouse then he will get into the habit of using my rogaine and next thing you know he's Cousin Itt.

Human Cyborg Relations...

Kurzweil: 'a world where humans become cyborgs' only 20 years away - Source Dvice.com

Ok you have to read this article before you go any further.  So go read, don't worry you won't lose me because the link opens in a new window.  Read then come back.

Are you back yet?  Ok.  Are you going wow yet?  I am.

I think that it would be neat to have these turn back the clock and bring me back to my youth when I was skinny.  And if this would give me super human powers like running really fast like Clark Kent and bending steel with my bare hands and maybe flying.  I wonder if it would let me fly?  That would be a plus.

I'm not that sure that I want to spend the next couple thousand years on this planet especially if everyone is getting these upgrade because there will be too many people taking up space.  We would end up having to leave Earth and colonize on other planets.  Our other planets don't have oxygen to sustain life so the only way we could leave the planet and go to another one is if we found a way to give the other planets an atmosphere like in Total Recall.

If I lived forever with these nanobots I want 2 things.  I don't want to eat anymore and I don't want to sleep anymore.  That way I can work for 24 hours straight with my new abilities so I can make lots of money.

One of the plus's is that all disease will be gone.  No more AIDS, Cancer, flu, colds etc.  No one would be sick anymore.

I would love to have this because I really want to see when Earth leaves the planet.  I would love to be on the first Earth ship that explores the stars in the USS Enterprise.  That would so rock my socks off.  I want to go boldly where no gay has gone before.
