It's that time of the year again, July 3rd; a milestone in American history that has brought the masses together in celebration of vague concepts and declarations that were learned with mild reservations. We withered away in a tawdry classroom festooned with student interpretations of what the the founding fathers might have seen during the American Revolution, taught by some hussy High...

 ................. Interracial Relationships..... This is a touchy subject for some people. Some people look at interracial couples, relationships, love, sex, children, ext. with hate, disgust, resentment and jealousy. I look at interracial relationships and see love, peace and unity. I'm in a interracial relationship. I have interracial children. I'm white and my man is black. (Some...

Ask me questions! Still accepting new questions. Just getting a head-start on my answers. [private] are you interested in photography? Yes, but only enough to get some decent shots. I don't have the time or attention span to be really good at it. But that's how I am with everything. Jane of all trades, master of none. [damienne] are you interested in hanging out with me in...

So, it's Canada Day. And, as a Canadian (and a proud one, for the record), I figured I'd give my thoughts on my home country. The weather sucks and our politicians are complete fucking retards. On the plus side, we have good health care, and we can gloat about burning down the White House. (And no one point out that Canada wasn't officially a country by then. We know that. It doesn't mean we'll...

Redemption, redeem Please give me redemption For evil witnessed with frozen terror And vengeance taken with the devil's prayer Choking and frozen on a swell The waves carry my broken shell The sun cast fire reflected in my eyes As I watch as the child withers and dies No flag is large enough to cover the shame Of taking an innocent life in God's name The vermin of the earth carry...

[Eh.  A rough draft (not even proofread!), needs work, and sister story to Twenty-Four.  There's an advertisement to American Players Theatre--I've been there many times, and it's lovely--that keeps dropping down and annoying the shit out of me.  I'd consider going OD-plus, if things like what happened early this morning, wherein the site stopped communicating and I lost...

Dear Diary, Sheesh, I just noted that my age on OD pages has been increased by one.  Oh, yeah, that's right, it must be my birthday today.  As if I didn't know it was gonna happen.  I have now gotten thru my rookie year as an octogenarian and don't feel any worse off physically, but I am quite sure my mental faculties have diminished a bit more.  At this moment, however, I...
