(Untitled)
My son always looks so peaceful and beautiful when he's sleeping. He fell asleep on the couch watching Aquabats.
Hey, I can't use this journal to rant ALL the time, right? :) -
Public shaming of bad behavior
How many times have we heard, "You need to be the bigger person" or "you need to take the high road"? Usually this is in response to someone wanting to vent about offensive behavior dealt to them. For instance, when I had a white guy pull the corners of his eyes up in a grotesque mimicry of Asians and say, "ching chong ching chong!" to take a ( Read more... ) -
new bed
Justin took down the crib; Rex now has a bed. He likes it, but now doesn't like to nap anymore.
Time to adapt, again.
Also, getting into my art groove again. There's not much that calms me and makes me as happy as painting does. :)

Trayvon Martin National Day of Action, after
I attended one of the 100-city vigils for Trayvon Martin on Saturday. It was the first protest I've ever participated in. I don't feel like discussing any further my stance on the case, as I've wasted way too much time counter-trolling the pro-zimmerman passionistas on FB who keep trying to convince me justice was served. Obviously, I didn't feel ( Read more... ) -
Spammy comments
So does anyone else get a million spam comments on their journal? Every time I go to my inbox, I see a ton of anonymous comments from people trying to sell shit. What gives? -
Mommy stuff and food stuff
No sick days as a mom. I feel like shit. Not like, absolute shit, but you know, shitty enough to slow me down. Right now, the cheery sounds of "Wonder Pets" sing out gleefully from my TV. I am boiling chicken for my little cold remedy, chicken soup with lemon and little pasta stars. A load in the wash, the baby learning about teamwork from ( Read more... ) -
Bill Hicks
I decided to check out Bill Hicks upon the recommendation of, oh, EVERYONE. He was extremely intelligent and way ahead of his time. But as I'm getting older and more sensitive and stuff, I find myself not being able to laugh at what I call "mean humor." Sure, I'll laugh at a story of someone asking, "Whatcha readin for?" but his brand of ( Read more... ) -
If you're looking for a "Happy that Osama is Dead" post, skip this
I want to share the feelings that those roaring crowds on TV have, the feelings of jubilation, relief, and satisfaction. But I can't. I feel really, really uneasy about it.
After 9/11, I wanted his blood. After all those other spin-off atrocities within these past ten years, I kept thinking time and time again, why isn't this fucker dead yet? So ( Read more... ) -
2 years
Tomorrow it will be 2 years since losing Joshua. I still don't feel like he's really gone. I know I say that all the time, but what if he isn't really, truly gone? What if he's on every gentle breeze, or in the glow around the clouds at sunset, or in the strains of a beautiful song, like I suspect he is?
Last year I went to Forest Falls with ( Read more... ) -
Driving sucks
Driving to a friend's house today, I found myself on the 10 freeway cruising behind a guy on a motorcycle. He wasn't a typical "biker" guy at all, just some small-ish guy, surrounded by a lot of cars weaving in and out of each other. Maybe he wasn't really small, but he looked like it in the midst of all that traffic. So there I was, listening ( Read more... )
