Regulating BMI.
An interesting Socratic discussion came up on Austin's 94.7 radio station. Should models have a certain BMI to be able to model? In other words, should government interfere with the media and halt the display of a sickly body image, that being too skinny is a hazardous influence to the American teenager?
If the FDA and the government are cracking ( Read more... ) -
Stupid.
I think, if you're going to fuckin' jaywalk while a speeding car is only 10 feet away from you, and is going toward your direction, perhaps, just maybe, you deserve to be run over. One less idiot for humanity. -

Welcome to America.
I see the statue of liberty standing off the New York coast- facing her home with her back against the overseas. She sees our ground zero and our battles in bureaucracy, apparently, and with her green torch, she shines a hope above all crazy people's beliefs in world peace. Peace, that's such a figment of my imagination, as I can get good grades ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Dear God

and here is my story:
My dad told me when I was a little girl that he would disown me if I was fat. I was already a fat kid when he told me that, and still, to this day, it hurts to reminiscence. My high school ( Read more... ) -
New project.
I have two disposable cameras at my disposal, and I am going to deploy myself out into Austin. There, I will make snap shots of certain areas, destinations, and objects in all sorts of light, sound, atmosphere, and the setting of the like. Two 27-shot cameras, 54 journal entries. Pique interests have an instant intrinsic value to the artist. Once ( Read more... ) -
Hearing Aid.
A poem about my hearing aid, and how it's boss to have one :p
Outside was a beautiful afternoon,
just a few chirps and a coo.
along with frequent cars with purring engines
and just a cool breeze to wave the trees.
I was relaxed.
A big shout, anger, disgust,
a brawl, some short stabs, and a grunt
thrust and tore my fabric of serenity

This is AMERICA.
We were texting each other back and forth. This guy is such a great friend. Hope you don't mind me blogging this, buddy, this is too funny!
I had to omit some texts because they were just too crass.
Me; Hey, whats up?
Chris: Fine, basketball and meatloaf.
Me: An American combo!
Chris: Teen pregancy and hip hop is an American combo.
Me; So is cereal and ( Read more... )
