Real Women.

 


      The other day I was working an event at the University and I noticed that there are a ton of beautiful women of all ages and body types wandering around everywhere.  I also noticed that a lot of these women hide behind a ton of make up and clothing that is meant to distract and change their appearance and body shape.  Call me old fashioned but I fucking love curvy women.  Here is a phrase that has always kind of bothered me, "Plus size model". Can't we just say that she is a model, we don't say anything about the ultra skinny sized 0 skeletons who never smile called models so why do we still point out the bigger ladies? Stick thin models on TV and magazines are not attractive to me if you could not tell by now. Skinny legs are gross and if I can see your ribs I just want to feed you, not fuck you.  Now I know that we all have our own perception of what is beautiful and what isn't and that's fine, however I tire of the status quo deciding what is appealing in the main stream. Give me a naturally beautiful woman with hips, and an ass any day over a skinny hungry woman.  It is sad that what is pleasing to the eye in mainstream culture is not what is pleasing to the touch in my own experiences.  Women should be soft and supple and not rock hard. Maybe it is just my warped view of the world but there is a difference between being healthy and over doing it just to be accepted, maybe I think this way because I'm fat myself and I'm okay with that. I'm not saying that every woman out there should just start packing on the pounds or that some women should give up on losing pounds that plague them.  Where lies the happy medium of health and plumpness?  I guess as individuals we have choices to make.  We can choose to stop admiring these fantasies of skinny waifs and get fucking real.  Katt Williams says that real men don't care about stretch marks, real men understand that there is only 2 ways they got there either you was small and got big or you was big and got small, "either way we fuckin' either way". I have to whole heartedly agree with him.  So ladies, do what you feel is best for you and please, please, please do not worry about looking like someone else's ideal, if you want to get skinny do it for yourself and not the opinions of others, and to those curvy ladies out there, thanks for the dirty thoughts you create in my gutter brain. Peace is a possibility not a dream.

The American Empire is bad for America.

     So as many of you may know I have subscribed to the societal label of conspiracy theorist.  Now there are lots of supposed conspiracies out there, some outlandish, some off the wall, some highly plausible, some (and this is the scary thing) highly likely.  Now I guess I want to start off by saying that I am not one who believes in every conspiracy theory that I hear but there are some that just seem to make more sense to me.  For example, I do not believe in the theory of the shape shifting reptilian people controlling our planet from space, or a separate dimension that we are not able to see.  However the theory of "snake people" running things is kind of a nice metaphor for what I believe really happens to the world and more specifically our country.  With that rambling out of the way I'd like to talk about US and the U.S. We were a country started by repressed religious people who came to this land to find freedom to practice their religious ways without fear of the king's henchman coming to take them in the middle of the night.  After a while we became a land of colonies, a land of colonists who did not want to pay taxes back to the empire.  Fast forward a few hundred years to the present day. The year 2011 (which on a side note has been a very interesting year in my life, hopefully you can say the same.) has so far been just like any other year since September 11th, 2001.  There is still war, and fear being pumped out of the television set around the clock and poverty and a lot of natural disasters in the past few months.  Some people have turned to religion to find their way in these turbulent times, some have relied on the guidance of our government. I want to talk about the latter.
     Don't get me wrong, I love my country.  I have a patriotic streak and I believe that for all that is wrong with America we are still one of the best if not the best places on the earth to live a happy life. There are probably a few better but hey I wasn't born anywhere else so why complain about how good it is here.  Lately in my own mind I have been comparing the U.S. to ancient Rome.  We are very similar to Rome. One in that we are an EMPIRE and two if we don't change our current ways we are headed for a similar fate as Rome.  Now some of you are probably thinking that I'm stretching it a bit trying to compare an ancient civilization that conquered most of the (at that time) known world to our country.  Well you may be right in thinking that. Well here is where I see parallels in our two "civilizations".

1. Rome was a great society and cultural focal point of the world, The United States was and in some ways is a great society and our way of life has spread to other cultures and influenced them much in the way ancient Rome did.
2. Rome used their overwhelming military to take what they wanted. The U.S. uses its military might pretty much in any way we see fit, the only difference is that Rome made no apologies about it's intentions where we as the U.S. mask our intentions with media friendly human interest stories about why we are doing what we do best.
3. Rome maintained its empire by stationing military forces in the occupied lands they took. The U.S. has built and maintained several military "installations" all over the world in many countries as seen here (old data but still useful). 

Those are just some of the points that make me believe that behind all of our military actions there is the greater task of maintaining our empire.  We should not be an empire and we should not let those unfortunate ones suffer here in the U.S. just so we can be an empire.  The money we waste on this empire could better be used here in the homeland.  There should be no hungry children and no homeless people in America for starters. The funds wasted in other countries could very easily be put towards solving these two issues here int the U.S. too bad that GREED is a driving factor for much of the decisions made for us.  I'm sure that someone on capital hill could feed me a belly full of BS as to why these military installations are necessary and what not but I say we need to take care of our own before we worry about the rest of the world.  I'm not a socialist but I do think that there is room for some socialist ideal to be used here in what once was the greatest nation ever (we have gone down hill since WWII where we got to play the hero). 

     To finish up this pointless ranting prose, I issue a challenge to anyone with any power in the government. Here it is: Either A: Come clean, and admit that we are steadily and knowingly working towards maintaing our empire and let us just accept it as fact and go with it instead of the sugar coating. or B: Knock it the fuck off and start to rebuild what was once great about the U.S. here at home so we can feel good about ourselves as a nation undivided once again. Sorry if you lost minutes of your life reading this but there will be no refunds. The government has not represented the common mans interests for years now and this must stop or we will fall to tyranny even more so than we already have and then everything will fall. Peace is a possibility not just a dream.
