mmmmm wedded bliss

So whats new you ask?
Well this past weekend was on the lower side of the moon, but last weekend?
Last weekend was Goooooood.
Its like this;
In my family there is a common theme, its called "divorce"
My moms done it once, my dad twice, and what I always thought to be teetering on the cusp of 3 times.
My eldest sister has escaped it, the next eldest has past under the bridge of seperation and the tunnel of divorce
oh, how do I count thee ways? Lets say, she is living with her Fourth now, so that makes 3.
The next sister married num.1 had a baby, left "boring"1 for num.2 left num.2 for num. 3 cheated on num 3 with num 2, who then became num 4 and now has re-left num 4 for his good friend num 5.
My oldest brother? never married,.... probably a good idea....
My uncle? Married-divorced then married and divorced and again and then married.
my grandparents, seperated but never divorced
Hell even my own Godmother has been through 3 now.
So it made perfect sence to me, to get married.
So I did, we met last weekend, he is perfect he has NO flaws and cooks me dinner everynight.
See, its that kind of humour that has gotten my family in trouble in the past no?
No we met 3 years ago, he always leaves the seat up, I cook dinner for him, he snores, he gets cranky like a 2 year old if he doesnt get enough sleep and his family hates me.
But one time when we were shopping my feet hurt so he traded me shoes and he wore his shorts with my big fancy ol' high heels for the rest of the day. AND he lets me warm my freezing
feet on his warm stomach whenever they are cold, now thats love.
Besides that nothing is off limits as far as conversation goes and the lines of communication are not only up but running at speeds that if the internet companies could bottle they could sell for millions.
So enough of about me

Hal-A-Lou-Yah

I am angry.
I am not totally sure it has been withen the past 3 years that I have been able to articulate this to anyone.
For reason of keeping others smiling and in balance I let it slide, I let it go and accomidate others emotions, because my emotions have
a problem shouting "shot gun" on their way to the car of expresivness. Anyone that knows me, ask yourself when the last time was I was angry
with you. There really hasnt been a lot of insidents. I have been sad, I have been hurt, I have been disapointed, but angry?
Truly and really angry? Affronted, annoyed, antagonized, bitter, chafed, choleric, convulsed, cross, displeased, exacerbated, exasperated, fuming, furious, galled, heated, huffy, ill-tempered, impassioned, incensed, indignant, inflamed, infuriated, irate, irritable, irritated, maddened, nettled, offended, outraged, piqued, provoked, resentful, riled, sore, splenetic, storming, sullen, tumultuous, turbulent, uptight, vexed, wrathful
nope.
its for the good of my health, I swear. Good news people im PISSED OFF.
And of course very happy at the same time with other things. Which a full story will follow, for now I am nearly enjoying the bask of anger.
Warning, contents may explode

possibly the strangest picture I took all year... for numerous reasons

testing testing one two three

I took the long way home today
The way I take when I have a lot to think about.
And apparently i have a lot to think about, and so do you my friends, so do you.

I like the back roads; it’s a constant reminder of how little time we all have left.
Taking this route I pass the fields of cows, possibly mad cows for all I know. I pass the chicken barns probably chuck full of bird flu and pass under the flocks of birds also probably carrying this disease just waiting for me to leave my car to be shat on into illness. I spend time with my car, which by the way is fueled by the same liquid fueling a fire in the middle east right into our front yard. I pass by the stagnant marshes home to the mosquitoes harboring the west Nile virus and I breathe the thinly saturated “country” air holding more toxins then I would like to think about. And of course drive by dozens of locked and seemingly abandoned sheds that most likely house major drug growing operations leading to the destruction of our society, not to mention the united church I pass which has been under scrutiny for allowing gay marriage the “OTHER” reason our society is falling apart at seemingly unbelievable speeds. Lets not forget the fluffy clouds on the horizon that often take the shape of mushroom clouds, reminding me; everyone has Nukes.
Wait a second… can logic perhaps come in to play for a while here?

I suppose it was to be expected, the terrorists obviously aren’t doing their jobs, if they were we would have enough daily fear instilled in our lives that it would not be necessary to bludgeon us with fruitless information daily
I am glad I do not own a TV, but over the weekend was bombarded with all of the things that will inevitably lead to my death. One doesn’t need to own a TV to be assaulted by the media frenzy to scare scare scare.
Over the thanksgiving weekend I looked through a "Globe and Mail" newspaper to see what was happening in the world.
It would appear my chances of surviving the next 2 to 3 years are looking grim.
It is a shame I say that the Bird Flu picked NOW to become a 300 million people-killing pandemic, with no way in hell of stopping it. I mean, we, and especially our global neighbors have endured so much this year as it is. There they sit in the states for instance, innocent victims, as their leader stands idoly by watching disaster after disaster unfold. We watched as 3 hurricanes slammed their coasts, we watched as the homeland security wavered from yellow, to red, to indigo to violet. There was the whole after effects of the flood that was so unprepared for, the death toll rising as El president looked the other way, but really, do those people pay taxes? Or spend taxes? Oh that’s right, what does he need those states for anyways? There was also that little episode in the Middle East, something about oil… I think...
And of course, AIDS is back in the news with more press now then I have seen in my lifetime. Right, right and global warming lets not forget we are all being cooked slowly but surely. And the air? You may as well smoke; it might actually HELP you by building up a thick layer of tar to protect your lungs from the putrid air that we have no choice but to breathe.
Mad Cow disease seems to have calmed down and does any one remember SARS? Wasn’t that supposed to wipe out a hell of a lot more people then it did? A little disappointing one might say, that we get our selves so wound up for a pandemic that never fully rears its ugly head. And of course, west Nile, which did little more on a grand scale then push people to reach for the bug spray... with DEET. The media has people in a frenzy… again.
Around here people are already starting the debate of who gets the death defying shot first (let me mention I am on the bottom of this list.) So powerful, so convincing when that lowered and accusing voice beams out at your from the set its almost impossible to write it off as hearsay, propaganda if you will. We live in fear because that’s where we are precisely calculated to be. Yes there may be a pandemic but coloring it as the end of the world causes nothing but unneeded anxiety, this brought to you by those who brought you this warning in the early 90’s:
“Escalators, You ride them everyday, but in an instant they can mangle you or someone you love”

We had the bombings this year in Britain which made people believe that they really aren’t safe no matter where they live. We had the Tsunami early in the year which has now been stuck so far at the back of the refrigerator hardly anyone remembers even putting it there, although the relief is still needed the cameras are no longer there, therefore, we don’t care. If it isn’t shown to us while we enjoy our evening meal surrounded by those we love, we. don’t. give. a. shit.
I guess if we have to look for a silver lining its this: Heck I don’t have to worry about a savings plan, life insurance, paying parking tickets or loans. Investors consider your job obsolete, if our chances of making it out of the next year are so little , well hell, lets get naked, take out your revenge on that annoying neighbor who NEVER seems to have a bit of bad luck, park where ever we want and eat as much saturated fats as humanly possible. Come on the media told us so, it has to be true right? Let’er rip. Besides, even IF we aren’t annihilated by this pressing poultry plague, don’t worry, there is always the on going threat of in collision course comets. So seriously, the world is going to end lets pull those rip chords and tell everyone how we really feel…. LETS GET NAKED!!!
YOU go first.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I am sure you are all out there enjoying your Tofurkeys!!

Ode to Banana

Did you have any idea the magic of the banana?
I personally eat almost a bunch a day, at least half a dozen, and worried I was getting too much banana, apparently not.

Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood
Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect food for helping to beat blood pressure.
Brain Power:
Constipation:
Depression:
Hangovers:
Heart-burn:
Morning Sickness:
Mosquito bites:
Nerves:
PMS:
Ulcers:
Temperature Control:
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Stress:
Strokes:
Warts:

The banana has been cultivated by humans for about 15,000 years, of course for literal creationists thats about... 6000 years.
still a long time no doubt.
heres to you banana

*this for lack of better things to say
