Here is my problem for today’s blog: everything heavy on my mind is shit that I really don’t think would make blogs I would want to write.
I’ve been in an almost non stop writing frenzy until yesterday. I love it. I makes me feel energized and awesome. And tired, it makes me feel very tired. I’ve done a lot of sleeping today, I think it is because my body is recovering from not sleeping in anything but short spurts for almost four days. It’s wonderful, but not a good blog.
I am missing both the Viking and Tina. Heavy on my heart, not an interesting blog.
I’m pissed that people don’t see that all birth control efforts and the very real war on women is partially do to male insecurity. I’m pissed because I read something about a police officer told women not to dress like sluts if they don’t want to get raped. If I were a man, this would OUTRAGE me. It is saying that men have so little self control that their logic centers shut down when they see some skin and becoming rutting beast. I could really rant ab out all of that, but honestly, there are many women saying the same things but saying it far better than me.
Men should understand that this all degrades them as much as it degrades us. What makes me very happy is that I know a lot of really amazing men who do.
Also, I think I need to unsubscribe from some of the political stuff on my Facebook page. I think I have a remarkable ability to fill my rage bar on my own. I want to change the world for the better, but I don’t think my anger is what I should use.
Passionate defense of one’s beliefs is important, and is great to read if you share those beliefs, but it won’t change the minds and hearts of others. We need to read people’s outrage and thoughts and ideas to keep our own passions high sometimes, but when we yell and scream, we put others on the defense. If we want true change we need create a more open atmosphere. We need the shouting to raise awareness, and we need the teaching to do the helping.
Ugh, done with that sermon. That is why I didn’t want to start writing about politics. You guys know this and have heard it before.
In the words of the great George Carlin: Be most excellent to one another.
