TAKE ACTION NOW! January 4, 2008

Posted by spacemom in : Religion , 1 comment so far

You want something to make your spine shiver? Something to worry you?

Here you go! House Resolution 888 . Read it carefully. Then go here were MANY MANY of the items that are called out in this resolution are shown to be FALSE.

There are people trying to rewrite American History via the legislative process. Take the second line:

Whereas religious faith was not only important in official American
life during the periods of discovery, exploration, colonization, and
growth but has also been acknowledged and incorporated into all 3
branches of American Federal government from their very beginning;

Oh- right, the religion faith of the WHITE settlers, not of the Natives who lived here during discovery, exploration, colonization and growth! Yes, only the religion that these people wish to push.

Take action! I don’t care HOW religious you are or what religion you believe. It is a mockery of our governmental system to promote religion like this! And if you are in the Majority religion, think about this. Do you really want to have lies and falsehoods used to promote religion? Is that what you want to be done on your behalf?

This Week’s Theme: What is the first New Year’s Resolution your character breaks?

Damn, the sun is too bright this morning. I fumble on the night stand to find my glasses. Ah, much better. I think I had a few too many Mai tais last night. You know that pounding in your head you get when you stand? Oh, yeah, I think all of the blood in my body just rushed to my feet. There’s nothing left in my head. I think I’m going to hurl. Okay, just get to the bathroom kiddo. It’s bad enough to puke in the morning, but it’s worse to have to clean it up. I think it’s passing. Good…good. now all I need is to make the heater stop yelling at me. Oh bloody hell! Where is my water glass? I seriously could use some water. OUCH OUCH OUCH! The faucet is too damn loud! Maybe I should get back in bed. The aspirin is now stuck in my throat. Lovely. Just what I need. The bed is so warm, I’m going back in.

Mmm, that’s better. Wait..um, who’s in my bed with me? Oh SHIT! OH SHIT! I promised this year, I wouldn’t just bring any guy home with me. I promised that this was the year of finding the right guy. The one who won’t fuck with my brains and my heart. What the FUCK was I thinking last night? Can’t I even stop for one fricken day?

Bloody hell, I don’t know if this counts as breaking my resolution. I just wish I could remember where I picked him up last night. Wait, his pants are over there. Wallet? ID? Maybe that would help my memory. But I have to get out of bed. Oh SHIT! He’s waking up.

Oh my God! She’s waking up! Well, on the plus side, I guess I didn’t break my resolution to not bring a strange guy home.

I often write about things that annoy the hell out of me. It makes me feel better. It is the Internet equivalent of Edvard Munch’s Scream.

So here are some little things that made me smile and warmed my soul lately:

What little things have made you happy lately?

Today is 2008. Whoopee. (read that in deadpan).

As we were resting in bed on Monday night, watching Dick Clark croak out the last seconds of 2007, I nuzzled Jay and said, "I hate New Years Resolutions". He said "why not? What is so wrong about them?"

Just like I don’t like Yom Kippur as a specific day to atone for your sins, I don’t like New Year’s Day as a day to resolve to change. I am just like that. I don’t need to reset my clock because someone tells me to. Jay pointed out that many people find it easier to do something en mass. I tend to agree. If everybody is resolving to changing in the New Year, why not you too! If everyone is atoning for their sins, why not you too?

Well, I guess this is where I march to the beat of a different drum machine. I make changes when I realize I need them. I wish I could say "Happy New Year, In 2008 I will lose weight, and be a healthier less cluttered person" But I can’t. I mean, there are certain things I need to do, but I know that already and forcing myself to start in January, with the cold and dark doesn’t really help me.

I guess I am a big humbug. Sorry- How about I just work on decluttering because it’s what the cool people do?

In other news, there is a Big Medical hullabaloo* going on for me. Sucks because I need a blood test that involves looking for a gene mutation and this could lead to some serious posts, but first I have to get through the fact that I have to give permission for this damn blood test to be done in the first place. In writing. With a specific form. So the fact that I was drained of 5 vials of blood this morning (for the tests that are NOT genetic) just means I need to go back Friday and offer up my RIGHT arm for the Vampires rather than my left which was bruised this morning and sucked dry…

 * BMH is not cancer nor anything that can kill me…yet. Long story and it affects the girls if I have a certain mutation so I need to think about this more… With luck, I don’t have any issues
