Tea Party

http://taxdayteaparty.com/teaparty/new-york/

I'm just curious as to why this wasn't more widely covered by the media. Is our media that one-sided and that liberal? I just don't get it. This could be a grassroots uprising! I just find the protests very interesting and I will there was more I could read about it. It seems very black and white. Fox News is 100% backing the Tax Day Tea Party, and everyone else is opposing it. I would like to hear what some of the supporters have to say. Why have a protest now?

How the heck?

This is a mind-boggling sight... You can tell by the lack of people around this nice man, that he smells. His dirty bags and contents are a little scary as well. But my question is: How the hell did he carry all of those bags onto the train? Your hands can only physically carry so many bags.... and there was no cart in sight. He HAD to carry them all in one shot! The subway doors don't stay open long enough to load the bags in. Any ideas how to accomplish this? It would really help out with my grocery shopping...

Look who got press!

We Love the Golden Girls 2 at Stonewall NYC

On Saturday, Feb 28th I went to a Golden Girls drag show. A group called Switch N Play provided clothes, make-up and wigs. It was a great way to meet people and socialize. I always find I exude more confidence while in costume. Maybe because I am able to hide my identity and be as silly as I want to be. It's just great! Check this link http://newyork.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/photogallery/we-love-the-golden/994357/content I'm in photo 49. Please notice the mouth-breathing stance I take. I could really pass for a 75 year old! "Harold, how do you work this thing? What am I doing?"

When did Chester Cheetah get so devious?

I remember Chester being a "too cool to fool" guy on a skateboard or playing basketball... What happened? Don't get me wrong - I love how evil he is now! He has become that little voice in your head, telling you to do naughty things.
Who hasn't had the urge to do this....

The fast food meat eater that subscribes to the PETA newsletter

I often find myself in disagreements with the people who subscribe to PETA's newsletter.

First, I want you to know that in any case, I would give my life to save animal. I hate hate hate animal abuse stories, and I think people should be fully punished for any inhumane act on a helpless animal. I do stand behind most of PETA's campaigns, but I think the hypocrisy of some of the so called followers, or newsletter subscribers, is laughable. Please people, before you get on your soap box and start preaching to me, get your facts straight! Look at your own life, and your indirect treatment of animals.

Today, the topic of Career Builder came up. My friend liked their Super Bowl commercial last night. I didn't see it but I said, "I always thought their chimp commercials were hilarious!"
And boy did that open a can of worms...

So, Miss I Love Eating Fast Food Meat, I Love MEAT MEAT MEAT, and My Cat is Declawed, came at me like a fat kid to a slice of pizza. She screamed, "Those chimps are ABUSED so you can laugh! They are tortured and then destroyed!" At times it was inaudible, I think she shouted "PLANET OF THE APES" at some point. Okay okay! I get it. Of course she was unable to present me with any concrete evidence, but I did find various PETA sponsored sites regarding this. It's tragic and I don't want to believe that every animal in commercials and movies are mistreated, although I am sure many are.

But again, back to my point: Hypocrisy. She eats animals that are kept in the most inhumane conditions and slaughtered in the most inhumane ways. It is nearly impossible to find average restaurants serving "humane meat". How can someone ignore the fact that in our food supply, we can find the most severe cases of animal cruelty? When I asked her about this contradiction, she simply answered, "We are omnivores." WHAT?!?! I truly have no response to that ignorant statement. So let's move on the the fact that while her cat was a tiny baby, she had him declawed. Declawing a cat is equivalent to removing to your first knuckle where your nail is - on every finger. I used to work for a vets office, and this was the cruelest procedure I ever did. I guess she didn't get the newsletter that week.

My only thoughts are, before you start pointing fingers at other people, clean up your own act. And yea, I'm sorry I thought the chimps were funny!

I am looking for your opinion...

But only if you agree with me!!! We all know that guy (or usually girl) that calls for your opinion, or rather to talk themselves out of something and want you to agree. I usually make the mistake that they are truly looking for my opinion, and when i oppose their true feelings, I get yelled at! HELLO!! Can you just say what you mean, "hey, I want you to agree with me on something..."

Boys will be Girls

Last week I got a call from a, um... I guess we will say "friend". He had an idea:

Him: Hey, so I am going to a party in the City on Friday, and I was thinking I could crash at your place when I am done. Make breakfast in the morning...
Me: Um, I have plans to go out for my friend's birthday. I don't think so. Can I let you know Friday night?
Him: Not really, because I want to know I have somewhere to stay.
Me: Let me think about it...

So I thought about it. And still didn't think it was a good idea. First of all, he was going to a party that he didn't bother inviting me to, and he just wanted to crash at my plane. RUDE. Since I already had plans, I wasn't going to ditch my friends to hang out with a flake of a guy who doesn't even live in this state!

I called him Friday from work and left a message that it was bad timing and tonight was no good. Told him to call me.

I heard nothing....

Woke up Saturday morning to a missed call at 3:55 AM and a text a 4:03 saying:

"Second rate dude. sorry. i don't think we can ever talk again. bye you"

My first reaction was laughter. Is he serious! We can't talk because it was inconvenient for me to put him up or be a booty call? HAHAHAHAHA! I had the urge to call and ask, but like most men, he is not worth my time!

My reply message to my "friend" is GET OVER YOURSELF!

the sauna

I have started going to the sauna at my gym. Very relaxing and revitalising. Like everything else in NY, it's tiny, and maybe a little awkward. Today, I walked in alone, laid down, and got super comfy. This girls walks in and bangs everything. Fine- I'll just ignore, she is probably just settling. Now I hear a bag rustling. I open my eyes to see what she is doing. Oooooh, just peeling an egg. Because, it's totally normal to eat an egg in the sauna. Deep breath... that was a mistake because now I smell the egg! And just when I thought it couldn't get worse, she is a smacker. This is the one sound that makes my skin crawl!! I'm just trying to talk myself down, so I can enjoy the sauna.
Egg girl is done with her egg, and I happen to glance over to see her standing there completely naked picking stuff off her body. GA-ROSSSSS!!!!! Then she rubs oil all over her body. She was so loud and inconsiderate, but finally left.
I admit, I am a little new to the sauna, but there had to be some etiquette rules?? Am I wrong for being skeeved by this girl? Fingers crossed I have a better time tomorrow :)

I'm pretty sure this worked...

When I left for work in the morning, I saw a guy holding this sign. It was all alone in front of my building, so I can only assume he collected enough money to buy a flux capacitor.

Lucky!!!
