What is the big deal with Disney and Barbie?

I would really like to know what is wrong with parents these days? Why in the name of all that sacred and holy are they bashing Disney and Barbie? I recently read a mom's blogging site and this woman slammed Disney and Barbie. Why?! The last time I checked Disney was one of the few brands for kids where the movies and television are actually family friendly and 99.999% free of bad language. Would this woman rather her daughter watch some of the children's movies with very scantily clan heroines and overly violence scenes, or a story with a bit of a moral to it, and a truly happy ending? As for Barbie: IT"S A DOLL YOU STUPID WOMAN! A DOLL!!! A child plays with it to use their imaginations and practice their fine motor skill by dressing and undressing it. So what if you hated dolls when you were growing up, this doesn't mean you should discourage your child from playing with them. Barbie has been bashed for 50 years as having an unrealistic body, causing little girls to grow up with a false sense of body image. GIVE ME A FRICKING BREAK! I played with these dolls my entire childhood (I make and sell clothes for them now) and I am perfectly at home with my body image. A doll does not influence body image: and overly critical, Neo-Nazi-minded, sue happy, moron of mother does. LEAVE MICKEY MOUSE AND BARBIE ALONE!!!!

A sad Christmas

Merry Christmas! For those of you that are waiting for my first annual Grinch Awards, they will appear over New Years. I'm sorry to report that Christmas is rather sad this year. My best friend in the world, the only person I really talked to and confided in has passed away. Before anyone panics, I should tell you that the "person" that passed away last Saturday was my 9 1/2 year old English Lab, Riley. Riley was very special to me. He was my best friend, and I taught him so many things. He learned a form of American Sign Language that I modified specifically for him:his favorite sign was the one for COOKIE. I also taught him to fetch a softball after I had hit it down the yard in batting practice. But the best times with him have to be those times when we curled up on the floor and took naps together. I will miss him forever. He was truly the greatest dog we ever owned. Correction: He was the Greatest dog we ever had the privilege of loving

Summer info and other fun stuff

Hello folks, sorry I was away for so long. My summer been one of ups and downs. The up side is that I'm done with school: the down that my beloved Redwings lost the Stanley Cup. I'll admit, I cried when they lost, but we will kick ass next season. The fair was wonderful, seeing as my birthday fell in the middle of it, and was only marred by a couple of people getting stabbed on the final day. I placed with everything I entered, ending with four 1st, four 2nd, and one 3rd. I am finally able to apply for my substitute teaching license, so God help all the little snot-nosed high school kids better beware! Apart from the money, it will be so nice to get out of my other job for awhile. Not that it is that bad, just it's beginning to drive me insane. I know, short trip right? Anyway, I'll see y'all next time. I promise I won't stay away quite so long.

Easter is a time of great candy

Did you notice that most of the great candies are associated with holidays? Christmas has it's candy canes, and Halloween has it's candy corn. Valentines Day of course brings conversation hearts, but some of the best candy is for Easter. Jelly beans, marshmallow eggs coated in chocolate, giant Easter rabbits made entirely of chocolate. Sure all these things are fattening and they rot your teeth, but they taste so good! My personal favorite are the marshmallow eggs. Oh to nibble off all the chocolate then see if the marshmallow will stick to the wall! Just kidding, but I am convinced that if you let a marshmallow peep harden it could become a lethal weapon. I can see the headlines now: MAN KILLED BY LETHAL PEEP PROJECTILE! That would be a story worth reading.

Guten tag!

Hello again everyone! I'm back! Scared? Don't be. I wanted to talk about my Valentines day. I spent it alone watching El Dorado with the dog. I did receive a wonderful Valentines day present: Two boxes of chocolate covered cherries! I managed to give myself a horrible tummy ache just by eating five of them and drinking a liter bottle of cola. This is not a great way to create cherry cola folks! I was surprised to see that there are still some hopeless romantics in my audience, when you voted a Romantic Dinner your idea of a perfect Valentines Day. I thought ya'll would be a tad more cynical, after all, you read my damn blog and I'm about a cynical as they come. I have received information for my graduation ceremony and think the whole process is highway robbery. After shelling out several thousand dollars of my and my parents money, not to mention all the wasted hours studying and all that shit, they want me to pay $80 something dollars for 25 ugly invitations to my graduation! And another couple hundred if I want a college class ring! The hell with that. I'll print my own invitations and if I want a class ring, I'll buy myself a nice one from Wal-Mart or just a really nice ring for myself that has nothing to do with the stupid college. I need a new ring to match some of my necklaces anyway. Not to mention the fact that I have to wear a stupid dress and all the uncomfortable accessories that go with it.
Anywho, all ya'll who read my blog are invited to watch me make a fool of myself on may 15th. Come and laugh at your own risk.

Hello out there!

Hello again! The holidays sucked (I was sick) so I won't really discuss that. Winter is really crushing us and I would love for it to warm up enough so I could at least have warm feet even through three pairs of socks. It is really bad when a person can wear three layers of clothes and still have to worry about frostbite on their ass! Any way the semester is about to start for all of you unfortunate enough to still be in school. My sympathy is will you just a little bit, but life on the outside is a little boring with out all that stress.
There are many people waiting for the inauguration of president Obama. I just can't wait for Bush to leave! I was thinking about throwing a good-bye party on Jan 20th, but that would give the impression that I'm going to miss that idiot. I honestly think that it is going to take ten to twenty years to undo most of the damage that jackass has done. We'll be lucky if we aren't speaking in short Chinese phrases by then.
Anyway, I was only writing to let the general public know that I'm still alive, just in a very boring , vegetative state. Any Cheers, and with any luck you'll here from me in another month or so!
