Q:I know that you are the reason behind your man hurting fae. Why don't you accept he cares more for her than you bitch.

Anonymous

Wow, temper, temper.  You are upset with me because Big Spoon unfollowed Little Spoon (her tags for each other not mine).  You obviously do not know him as well as you think.  No-one in this world can force him to do anything he does not want to do.  If you knew me you would know I do not give a flying fuck about fantasy fuck buddies.  I care only about the supposed need for lies and secrets.  Be honest, if this is who I think it is, have you told your husband the truth about your fantasy lover?  Or are you too scared to be honest? Or is it just because “he is a good provider.” Logical thinking would also make one wonder as to why she is so upset that she was unfollowed to begin with.

I really like this photo.  I see some from the tumblr community in  the stillness of the frames.  Beauty, one dimensional representations of being.  Still, a mere facade, a single moment frozen in time by the play of light and shadow.  
I see many use these tiny snippets to formulate opinions. Stir emotions with blinkered imagination.  Even with no personality encapsulated or projected many form opinions based on physical response to appearance. I see attributes given to these frozen, faceless moments, such as kindness, goodness, honesty.  Really?  Life is in perpetual motion, as are humans.
Those who radiate the light of true beauty are real posters, people unafraid to express themselves truthfully and honestly.  People who reveal themselves warts and all.

Honesty - A Mere Concept

I sat for hours today attempting to collate my thoughts, to enable the expression of  anger at the way a friend of mine has been mistreated.  At the injustice I see with trials she has had to face.  So, to begin with I will describe Shannon as I see her.

Shannon is a beautiful woman, mother, and wife, with sexuality oozing from her pores.  Not the sex kitten purr-purr kind, nor any vanilla mouse variety, but a sexuality that thrives and grows within her.  She exudes and experiences what most men and women fantasize about.  She shares her experiences, wit, intelligence, compassion, and, in general, down right common sense nature with many tumblr members (pun unintended).  To what avail?

I discovered that Shannon had been terminated from her employment as a night nurse due to the disclosure (by a supposed “friend”) of her tumblr site; a termination not due to lack of ability, skill, empathy, compassion, or reliability, but, rather one based solely on her lifestyle choice and the manner in which she chooses to express it.   Obviously, Shannon contained that within her private life and tumblr site, not on the job.  She was not approaching patients saying, “Look at my wondrous pussy,” or “Look at how I can suck cock.”  She was actually at work performing her duties to the best of her trained abilities with no complaints about how she did her job. I am angry because the organization that employed her purports itself to be “Christian.”  I do not have a problem with the religion, but, I do have a problem with those that wear religion on their sleeves yet fail to follow the beliefs.  The organization can only be seen as hypocritical. 

The Christian tenet of forgiveness is high on the list, is it not?  Tolerance?  Jesus embraced a prostitute, Mary Magdalene, did he not?  “Judge not lest you be judged yourself” is another value the faith adheres to, is it not?  So what’s the rub?  They have a hang-up with sex and nudity being dirty.  They view the context in which Shannon and others like her express themselves as immoral at the very least, evil at the worst, and that is how they can justify their intolerance.  They could have taken a more tolerant approach instead of the draconian action they chose to take by calling her into the office, yelling, berating her like a child - and then firing her.

Of course the employer will speak of maintaining a good reputation and its good name, etc., but that is only because they assume that if this “got out” people would somehow hold it against them.  “Turn the other cheek”, would have been more appropriate for a christian. 

My anger took control the more I thought of the honest and open expression Shannon shares (with her husband and his encouragement), and these sanctimonious bastards with their preconceived idea of right and wrong.  I will not even express what I think of the supposed friend, the page would be completely full of curses smeared with her blood and guts.

Warning, for any who are going to defend the christian values ($$$s) shown by this organization, I have two things to say to you.  Get off NSFW sites, - hypocrite and here is a fact, there are very few honest, open relationships destroying families, however, the same claim can not be said about breakdowns caused through secret sexual experiences.

They call her depictions pornography, I call them beauty.  I end this rant with I don’t lie, but they did when explanations were given to staff as to why Shannon was dismissed.  “Thou shalt not lie.”

WTF?    99% support Anti Consumerist Organization from Canada?  So 99% classify themselves as producers?  Moronic reasoning that a Canadian based organization (is this also funded by Georges Soros, a 1% man?) can solve the USA’s debt woes? 
If you truly believe this to be fact, everyone better stop using computers, ipods, ipads, social networking sites i.e. Facebook in support against the top 1% as the owners of these are in the top 1% bracket. 
Wall Street greed prevails because it is not against the law.  To have laws changed you protest against the government, to force them to either arrest the shysters or change the laws that allow them to steal. 
To date the protest is already diluted with so many differing factions fighting to be heard that have nothing to do with Wall Street, resulting in the protests looking more like a car park scene from a Grateful Dead concert.
Can anyone answer this?  If the top 1% decide to take their money and business  offshore who is going to replace the businesses?   An exodus of that top 1% will result in the government turning to the common man’s pocket to replace the loss of tax revenue. Let’s be very real: 
The top 1% may play stocks, however, they don’t work in Wall Street.

On September 17th, men and women of all races, backgrounds, political and religious beliefs, began to organize in nonviolent protest. These men and women represent the 99% with the goal of ending the greed and corruption of the wealthiest 1% of America. Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless resistance movement which began as a call to action from a Canadian-based anti-consumerist organization.

I have a real problem with this.  There is nothing stopping Colbert or anybody else from “helping the poor” except air and opportunity.  I’ve been poor.  As a young man I lived in a 9 square meter hovel with nothing but a bed, a hot plate, and a 10” black and white TV.  No cable; no computer; no telephone.  I lived within my means and worked my way out of it without welfare, food stamps, or any other kind of taxpayer-funded assistance.  I am sick and fucking tired of Hollywood asshats and other limousine liberals playing the collective guilt trip on other people.
Message to Colbert and others like him:  Stop preaching, go down to the nearest freeway overpass, and adopt a homeless person. 
Lead by example and shut the fuck up already.

——————————-
First of all, a guy with both Bill Hicks and Woody Guthrie in his archive should be smarter or more compassionate than this but that assumption would appear to be wrong. They would, collectively, tell you that you are full of shit…respectfully or otherwise.
Stephen Colbert is not just a comedian, he’s a social satirist.. very much the way Hicks and Guthrie were. This isn’t a condemnation of Christ. This is a spotlight on the hypocrisy that we, as a “Christian Nation” only seem to bother ourselves with church dogma or doctrine when it suits our own selfish needs (e.g. telling women what to do with their bodies, telling people who can and cannot be married etc.)Lastly, you demand that he lead by example. Colbert is actively funding and involved in the following organizations to name a few:
Feeding America 
Autism Speaks
First Book
Global Fund For Women
Parkinson’s Society Maritime Region
Yellow Ribbon Fund (that assists in the return of wounded veterans)
I could go on and on, but I am hopeful that you got the point by now. (although, admittedly, that is an assumption.) As for myself, since you included ‘others like him’ spend their free time volunteering to feed the homeless, veteran’s groups and the elderly. He is leading by example and on top of throwing large sums of money at these groups, he uses his gift…his large microphone to the world to spread that message and point out the hypocrisy of America… something both Hicks and Guthrie would applaud… for fuck’s sake, that’s what their entire careers were based on.
I’m not here to tell you what to believe in, that’s up to you… It’s a free country.. but don’t be surprised when ignorance gets confronted head on, especially by those who lead by example.

**************************************
I usually do not post religious or politically based quotes.  However,  in this case I choose to, as both posts above are opinions.  Like  assholes everyone has an opinion.  Freedom of speech and all that, so I will attempt to keep my opinion short.
Firstly, I would like to state I am not religious, however as a child I loved Jesus and his teachings, I still do.  However, I never accepted God.  I know one and the same and all that, who really cares, it is my soul that is condemned.  This does not make me a bad person, like many I do charitable works without the need of recognition.
The first poster’s opinion is correct.  Deconstruct Colbert’s quote not Colbert:- “If this is going to be a Christian Nation that doesn’t help the poor....” there is no such thing as a Christian Nation.  The USA is made up of peoples who believe in many denominations. We hear daily, hourly, separation of church and state. 
The Christian helping of the poor, is not a government role it is an individuals. Remember, Jesus did destroy the corrupt money men and their temple.  So to imply that:- “either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are…”  No.  Individual choice has nothing to do with Jesus. Why can’t people just accept that most of mankind are selfish.  It has nothing to do with religion or religious teachings, however, it has everything to do with I Want or Sorry I just don’t have. 
Or:- “We’ve got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition…‘  Wrong. This is the Commandment of Jesus:   “Give to Please God, Not to be Seen” “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be  seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in  heaven.” 
The second poster personalized his opinion with his own assumptions. Firstly, he has based his opinion on the belief that the first poster has done nothing for mankind.   Referenced other postings that have nothing to do with this thread, to not only form opinions, but to justify his beliefs. Considering most of the NSFW tumblrs are full of porn, the point is? As for comedian/social satirist, there is no difference, bar the delivery.  His referencing of Colbert’s donations would hold more validity if he included how many $’s Colbert claimed back as tax deductions.  If the answer was 0$’s then I could agree that Colbert is a true Christian.  If not, Colbert is just laying guilt on those who don’t have his resources.  Lastly, the second poster classified himself as “….others like him” and chose to be offended.  Chose to defend Colbert, and not the content of the quote.  Which I believe was the whole point of the first poster, the words expressed.
I may be wrong, but it is my opinion.  So any who want to disagree with my view are welcome.   Please don’t try and convince me that there is a Christian Nation called the USA.  To me the USA is a great country, that helps many because of its’ diversity, not despite its’ diversity.

I Should Not Think. I Think?

Unfortunately, those that know me in person tend to suffer from what I call my pop thoughts.  An idea just appears in my head, and I run with it.  It usually is nonsensical, but I enjoy dissecting all aspects of the initial thought; and by writing I come to an understanding within myself. So look at this as, a sharing of thought.

Like I said, it is very troublesome for those around me as they refuse to discuss in any depth my thoughts, pushing them away as being stupid or utterly worthless to my or their world. However, I am tenacious.  Like a mongrel dog worrying over a bone, I persist.

So, considering the amount of time I spend enjoying the cyber highlights, connections, whatever word or words you wish to describe the interaction that has become so common and prevalent, I  began pondering web interactions due to personal experiences and the opinions of other bloggers. 

The initial interaction seems to begin with admiration of the physical, intellect, or wit of one for another.  The usual scenario is the physical aspect.  A relationship grows through words of admiration, and it seems that the primal animal instinct in one or both evolves.  Some become deeply infatuated whether they intended or not.  It is not surprising when they find the right combination of stimulus.  They hook up in the cyber sense.  Going through the motions and actions of a new courtship, of course, minus the actual physical contact. 

A new relationship when one’s eyes are shrouded with rose colored glasses is short lived in many real life romances.  The initial desirability of your chosen significant other dims, the rush, the throbbing within once felt, when you heard or saw the person, is replaced with the occasional flash back of what was or is experienced rarely.  Finally I get to my pop thought(s)…sorry.  Are web connections so powerful due to the fact that you only get to see what the other is willing to project as being who and what they are?  A facade?  And if so, why do they need to project an illusion?  As there are so many beautiful women/men who have prior partners that are all too quick to give a response of “glad I got rid of that bitch/bastard”.  Or is the desire to experience the touch, kiss, caress, or sexual experience with the person the driving force of intense desire?  If you answer “Yes,” are you not in fact infatuated with your own imagination unless you are willing to commit yourself to the next level?  Obviously, that being to actually meet in person not via screen, picture, email etc.

Long live - pop thoughts.  :D  Lastly, thank goodness there are some very real people (you know who you are) with honest, original intensity tumblrs in my universe.

I read an article sometime back regarding bush and the recent (with reference to evolution) trend to be as bald as an egg. 
The argument for or against, is pointless people.  Your opinion may not be mine and mine may not be yours, so why all the animosity over style (for want of a better word).  I write this as I read ever increasing debasing  comments on posts of those who choose to be “au naturale”.
Everyone has preferences and opinions which should be  respected, not judged. If you can not abide the look a person chooses for their own being, don’t look, don’t say anything nasty because you fail to recognize what pubic hair actually represents and the role it plays in one’s sexual experiences. 
Don’t know what I am saying,  google androgenic hair.  Androgenic hairs increase sensation by the mere fact that any displacement of said hair sends messages along ones nerves, skin etc., intensifying an experience.  So I end this rant with….”hey you may not like the wrapping but don’t judge what you are not willing to experience”
