today's quote

In the course of reporting this, did people ask you if you believe in God?

Amanpour: They did. I always find it a difficult question. I'm born of a Catholic mother and a Muslim father and I'm married to a Jewish husband. So I have all of God's wonderful shapes in my DNA. It has helped me have an inclusive look at what religion is all about. I instinctively retreat from division. I don't want politics or religion to be a reason for division in my life or in other people's lives. I see so much war, killing and hatred; I can always see why it shouldn't be like that.

lets go surfing now...

Rosa Parks died yesterday at age 92. She became a famous inspirational woman when a small act of defiance spurred the civil rights movement in America in 1955. She is an American icon and I sincerely hope her legacy of courage for freedom and equality lives on.



Meanwhile we have crossed a morbid milestone:
2000 American Soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq
more than 15,000 have been wounded
and an estimated 30,000 innocent Iraqi citizens including children have been killed while caught in the crossfire of this horrific war

Can't shoot him

Okay I have a love hate relationship with Tucker Max. At first I loved him, thought him the cleverest and funniest of them all, and then he began to wear on me, same old jive man, same old jive...and I can really only take so much peoplebashing, so I took a break. I went back today, to check in and ran across this little gem. It's the occasional post like this that is the reason I sometimes love him so much I could almost just kiss his filthy mouth:

Too skinny

I know that in my stories I often make fun of fat girls, but I want to be very clear about something:

Waifish, anorexic girls are even worse than fat girls. [see examples one and two] [this needs to be fixed]

I fucking HATE that disgusting ribs-sticking-out, sharp-elbows, I-have-no-body-fat look. It is fucking revolting. Do you goddamn whores not realize that aside from the ridiculous physical problems associated with NEVER EATING, you look like a concentration camp victim? Seriously, you look like you just finished the Bataan Death March.

If I have to choose, I will ALWAYS fuck the girl who is 30 pounds overweight before the girl that is 30 pounds underweight. At least the fat girl LOOKS LIKE A WOMAN AND NOT A SKELETON SHRINK WRAPPED IN SKIN.

IvoryFrog wrote in to guess the second paragraph says: "Is this possible?"

Sumatra Quake Shook Entire Earth

WOW!!!!

December's great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake — the most powerful in more than 40 years and the trigger of a devastating tsunami — shook the ground everywhere on Earth's surface. Weeks later the planet was still trembling.

The quake resulted from the longest fault rupture ever observed--720 miles to 780 miles--which spread for 10 minutes, also a record. A typical earthquake's duration would be 30 seconds.

Today's Topic

Half of humanity set to go urban

More than half of all humans will soon be living in cities, according to a prediction by the United Nations.

This is one of the saddest headlines I have seen in a while.

Today's Topic

The next 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought for the day

"PMS for me means: from smile to bitch, in half a word"

The Personal is Political

Props to the amazing Ani Mander, a former teacher, mentor & friend who once assigned me a paper called the personal is politcal outlining my own personal politcal issues - that was 12 years ago and I couldn't even grasp the concept. The Daily Blog is in flux, and although I don't want it to be all politics all the time, I do think it has become necessary to incorporate more.

Looking at today's headlines, I simply must share and comment, in the hopes that pointing these things out and discussing them provides opportunities for growth for all.

Tibetan Sand Painting

A sand painting created by Tibetan monks is shown Friday, April 29, 2005, at the St. Louis Art Museum in St. Louis. On Sunday, after five days of work, the monks will destroy their creation. The process serves as a way for the Buddhists to meditate, work to spread blessing, and show the temporary nature of things in this world, even the beautiful ones. (Yahoo/AP Photo/James A. Finley)

Warning this blog is not for children!!

But it is occasionally very funny and it reminds me how grateful I am to be a true California girl.

Below is a sample and here is the link

""Guy: I saw that movie Hide and Seek. It sucked.
Girl: I don't know that one. Who's in it?
Guy: Ummm...that guy from Meet the Fockers.
Girl: ...Ben Stiller?
Guy: Who?
Girl: Are you talking about Ben Stiller?
Guy: No, no, the old guy.
Girl: Robert DeNiro?!
Guy: Yeah, him.
Girl: You call Robert DeNiro "that guy from Meet the Fockers"?!
