Dust off my chastity belt... (RANT warning)

Clean off the rust.
Lock it up and give my daddy the key.
Someone start a dowry for me.
Uneducate me and keep me in the kitchen.....waiting
for my arranged marriage.

SERIOUSLY?
Am I a child?
Am I incapable of self determination b/c I'm a woman?

Should I only be allowed to think for myself when it happens to be in line with
the CRAZY bible thumping conservative nut jobs who spew ideas NOT backed by science?

This is just as ANTI WOMAN as you can get... I'm sick that my tax dollars go to this
SHAM organization...http://www.hhs.gov/
"Improving the health, safety, and well-being of America" ....all Americans, except WOMEN

it makes me SO MAD. SO MAD!
I can't even read stuff like this without shaking.

THE PILL IS NOT ABORTION!

What kind of logic is there in trying to take away
a proven method of PREVENTING unwanted pregnancies?

Oh..I'm sorry
I forgot, PLEASE....pass me that chastity belt and send me back 500 years.
That'll be much more effective....

I don't believe that abortion should be used as birth control
I don't believe it's right for women to want a boy and terminate a girl
I personally think it's awful that late term abortions happen when there isn't a threat to the mother


BUT REALLY?? REALLY?

The mere idea that some pharmacist could NOT fill my prescription
could instead stand and judge me as a 'baby killer' for using the pill
is INSANE
GOD FORBID I have ever have to suffer the trauma and indignity of being raped
and then NOT be given emergency contraception
is INHUMAN


grrr I can't even express how annoyed I am....
this is what I get for googling Palin.

These pro lifers, as well intentioned as some might think they are,
don't even know what they want a PUNISHMENT to be once they get abortions criminalized
.....sigh
they just want god to regulate my health choices....

Is that JOY in your pocket? or are you just.....

Live.
Love.
Laugh.
I had those words on a mirror in lipstick
before target slapped it on their crap :)

Where's your exuberance? exhilaration?
Let me ASK AGAIN?
Where's your wonder? your flirt? your heart?

If you HAVE to do it why be so joyless?
Routine can kill a soul.

Shake it up.
Rearrange.
or better yet, SIMPLIFY your life.

What makes YOU happy...not the YOU you think
they want you to be...
the YOU you want to be :D

Confused yet?
take a ride on the scream machine and leave it all out for the world to see.

Still confused? ok ok....I'm alluding to:

PASSION
I've realized two things since leaving college
(well..more than two but for this purpose):
You've always got to keep the bigger picture in mind, but
Screw the way you planned to get there, life unfolds in ways you'll never imagine

Simplicity and Passion
gets you through all the rest life throws your way

Now I am PASSIONATE about this purse:


But SIMPLICITY would tell me I don't need it, have 2 black bags and should donate 1/2 of my purses before even thinking of spending money on this one....

damn.

Where's the joy in that? :P

What is my point?

"We are a generation who posts our entire being on the web
every detail and moment of our lives
for all to see
and all we get back is
spam" --Me, via a more random blog

Yes. It makes me laugh to think how few will read this.
Blogging is basically
an exercise in intellectual self masturbation. heh.
That said! My point for this blog is to record and reflect on things I'm learning.
The ins and outs of being truly independent, 'adult' if you will.

This blog is about my conscious effort to choose my life and not just drift.
To take control of my professional life, grow myself
To deliberately learn and budget and plot my finances
and hey, maybe share some stuff I've learned with those who are interested ;)
(this might sound pretty basic for some of you, but the past year and a half
I've really owned these concepts and grown a tremendous amount....it's pretty fun)

So please....don't just stalk my blog....oh few of you who'll read it.
PLEASE comment, criticize and applaud my public effort to grow.

the end.

PS
YES I know correct sentence structure
for my purposes here I choose to ignore it
That's just me. Free form writing is more pleasing to my eye
OH and yes....I am a TERRIBLE speller...feel free to correct me
