In case you are living in an ignorant cave aka the Midwest, ALJAZEERA has launched a kick ass English news network. Its been in the works for quite some time, and I was obviously fired up about it. Being a victim of American television, spin, and one sided information has left me badly bruised and in desperate need of legitimate information. My only source for good info on the tube is BBC (of course) and Mosaic on the link channel. Yummy. In Aljazeera's case, the bias will be a refreshing slap in the face. Wake up America, people are suffering while you are blissfully oblivious.
But, of course, Americans don't get to watch Aljazeera. There aren't any networks or cable providers, other than a french satellite service that nobody gives a shit about that have the guts to carry it. Fuck the religious right and their insistence that we stay ignorant and uninformed. Yeah that's your personal decision to suspend all reason and rationality in order to pursue a blind faith in you re country. How UN- American. Go fuck your sister and leave my civil rights alone.
Point- I need help. Not the psychological kind, but I want answers and ACTION. Please please please if you know of any organizations that are backing Aljazeera in the states send me a message or leave a comment. If you have any tid bits of info in regards to WHY it isn't available, please drop a line.

Unexpected Breathtaking Happiness
Three words you probably never thought you would hear coming from me. There it is regardless, every letter of it true and heartfelt.
The dems have claimed the house and senate, restoring a long forgotten checks and balances of the 3 branches of government. Namely, the executive branch, which will no longer have the capacity to assault the American people signing away our lives in the middle of the night. Yay! The world community joins us in celebration, as we can once again dare to hope. Hope... what a strange and fascinating emotion. Its so refreshing. For so long I have been filled with sorrow, hate, and hopelessness as the Republicans ran a rampant psychotic agenda to drive us all into the ground. I'm not alone in this optimism. Democrats will find their strength and challenge the atrocities that have taken place in the last decade. We are prepared to face the devastation, because now we know it can be repaired.
My reaction to the overwhelming good news post election day were to first run to the restroom and cry joyously, then spread the excitement to everyone around me. This was before Donald Ayatollah Rumsfeld resigned! Imagine my glee when checking on the very tight race for senate control only to fin the smirking chimp gasping for air through stutters and excuses.
It was quite unexpected for most of us, but most likely planned by the Bush cabinet. Its a strong game plan- obviously Rummy will be seen as the orchestrator of the devastation in Iraq. Just what the Repubs need- a scapegoat. He made it easy with the torturing with no conscience bit. He went so far as to excuse the atrocities at Abu Ghraib and even defended water boarding as a 'humane' interrogation technique. He should have been charged with crimes against humanity, while his boss was impeached and charged for the same crimes. I'll be patient, because George's day will come. Just as Rummy's did.
There is plenty of time to speak of voting fraud, the complexities of pulling out of Iraq, the fact we still have a retarded movie star as a governor, and the tragic failure of proposition 87. Right now, this moment, we rejoice and make plans for the future no longer afraid of a fascist state.
What a fucking relief.

PLEASE STOP BREEDING
Its a simple request. The planet that you call home beseeches you.
We simply cannot carry on at this pace. The evidence is out there. In 50 years, there wont be any more fish in the ocean. 50 FUCKING YEARS. I plan on living that long, if for no other reason than to watch the destruction humanity reeks upon itself.
Lets consider the impact of several extinct species on the planet shall we? Its not about sushi. An entire community of ecosystems will be obliterated. Mammals like whales and dolphins will be completely extinct, nothing more than children's stories. The coral reefs which provide oxygen to all living things- gone. Shit, by that time we will all be breathing through oxygen tanks because the middle class has to drive their minivans and SUV's. Yeah.
Read the article. Do you see who impacted the most? As usual, its the poor and under-educated. Its the people who are starving to death is under industrialized countries. People are dying from diseases that can be cured with a 5$ shot. Children are being robbed of life by Aids. Millions of people don't have clean water. A simple thing like clean water.
Overpopulation is to blame. People have become a parasite on this planet. Draining every natural resource with reckless abandon. In booming countries like the US, we have sacrificed the environment for a steady climb to the top. With no sense of responsibility (to each other or the rest of the world).
I was discussing my passion for environmental issues with a colleague the other day. He didn't like being questioned about the reasoning behind purchasing an automobile that was a menace to humanity. He asked what I thought he should with his 5 children. 5 CHILDREN? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Is your life that empty? Why do people feel the need to reproduce in the face of overpopulation? There are millions of children who have no parents, no home, no food or opportunity for education. There are kids in your immediate vicinity who are abused and abandoned that need love more than you need to pass on your "seed". Its total and utter selfishness. Any excuse you can come up with is most likely rooted in completely unfounded narcissism and/ greed. Prove me wrong. I'll give you 10 bucks.
So, I say again, please stop having children. There are plenty in the world that need parents. Also, please don't ever order fish if we go to a restaurant together. I will vomit on your plate. Not kidding.
Make sure you vote this Tuesday. I'M NOT KIDDING GET OFF YOUR ASS AND VOTE. We have a chance at winning back the house AND senate. Imagine, a functional checks and balances system on the executive branch of government. We are so close.

Finally! Good news!
AKA I don't have much to bitch about today.
NIN has announced another tour. T- Rez is starting out in in Europe (WTF?) beginning in February. A brand spankin new album is expected in April. More details on dates and spiral presales on nin.com .
There is no shame in admitting my fan-girly excitement at the news. In fact, I was not alone in my shocked state of bouncing off the walls. For those of you with horrible taste in music that DON'T faithfully follow the God of goth rawk, this release and activity schedule is unheard of. We in the NIN community usually have to wallow in our own depression and self loathing for a good 5 years between records. I was expecting it (and appropriately filled up my prescriptions as a precaution). Personally, I attribute this change solely to TR's very public new take on life due to sobriety. Thank you Trent Reznor for pulling your head of your ass and keeping the coke bag away from your fabulous gorgeous abnormally large nose!
In other news, America is the #1 contributor of green house gasses in the world. We spew almost 25% of the crap that's killing the planet into the air. Don't give me that *just one person doesn't really make a difference* bullshit. Fuck you. I hate you if you drive an SUV and guess what? When you get in a car accident on the freeway because you cant drive that gas guzzling monstrosity, I'm going to drive by and laugh. (One of my new years resolutions is to stop being so judgemental. Piss off until then).
Oh yes. The upcoming election. Don't be complacent and sit on your ass watching Oprah instead of voting. Seriously, how the hell do you expect to maintain a functioning democracy if nobody participates? Again, the whole *its just one vote it doesn't make a difference* isn't going to fly with with me. If you don't vote, I'm going to strip away your fourth amendment rights while you are sleeping. Wait a minute... somebody already did that.
If you are clueless on how to decide which to give the thumbs up for check out this site.Its a non-partisan site, I swear. But if you are a neo-con, go ahead and group yourself with the aforementioned SUV accidents, cause I'm going to heckle YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL BURNING IN HELL. BUAH HA HA HA.
Okay, I found stuff to bitch about. My moniker is Incendiary Lover, what the fuck did you expect?

What is wrong with YOU?
Guess what! I'm single.
Have been for ages. And you know what? Its fufilling. Im completely independent, financially and emotionally. I dont have the burning the desire to run out and go on crappy dates to find 'the one'. Me. I am completely self sufficient. Im so sick of the looks, and the questions. WHY IS SUCH A GREAT PERSON SINGLE? they ask. Because I want to be. There is nothing wrong with me because I enjoy being alone. I love doing what I want, when I want. Have you ever condidered the possiblity that there is something wrong with you? Fighting to keep dead relationships alive just so you dont have to be alone? Sacrificing yourself and your happiness because thats what society says is appropriate? Suffereing, day in and day out, reminising of a time when your life wasnt someone elses?
Oh and guess what? Its not because of my ex-husband (not to be mistaken for the douche bag below). He didnt "do this" to me, nor did anyone. Im simply a whole person. It really pisses me off when people attribute my attitudes to a cause. You want to know what caused this? Reality. Reason. A clear vision of what exists apart from perception.
So if Im crying myself to sleep at night, its not because Im missing something. Its because the state of humanity is devastating. Im concerned about the the world my child was born into. I worry about the suffering of others, and what I can do to alleviate it.
So save it. Instead of judging people by quaint norms, open your mind.

Fox news network is the Gestapo
Or something very close to it.
Mr. *save the children so I can shove vegetables up their asses when mom and dad aren't around* Mark Foley resigned this week, having been caught, red handed, with his hand up the page boy's skirt. Turns out, the pasty bastard has been covering up his indiscretions for years, and its possible he isn't the only one. Does any of this surprise me? Of course not. When one group of purists starts waving their finger and tsk tsk-ing a group of evil doers, you can be sure they have something to be guilty for themselves. This is an extreme example of just that. The child activist/ pedophile.
What did surprise me, was the bureaucrats over at Fox 'news' network. Yeah, I expected heavy spin, and that precisely what most right wing media agencies are doing. But not the geniuses at Fox! Heinrich Himmler OH I mean Rupert Murdoch is no dummy! He knows his viewers are poor white trash, with little or no inclination to spread their horizons, and read a newspaper. Or a book. These people rely solely on FOX NEWS NETWORK for updates in the Iraq situation (cause you know, it was that sad-aam fella who blowed up dem towers is New York) and the world at large. No, we didn't get spin. We received outrageously fallacious fabrications. Look closer. The picture to the right is listing the pedophile as a Democrat. Its kind of like he never was a Republican. Fox news thinks they can make the truth disappear. And they just might be able to.
In all seriousness, I am deeply saddened at this behavior by Fox news. I don't expect much from Bill bigot O'reily, but damn. And to think... These very same execs may have had something to do with the cover up . They are trying to fool the American people. We can only hope they suffer some sort of consequence for this behavior.

ME: You didnt have any in the first place jack ass.
b: Call me
ME: LMAO
b: why do insist on being a bitch? You know this attitude ruined our relationship
ME:.....
b: The male lion in nature proudly dominates his female pride. He rules, and while she fights, all he has to do is sigh on her neck and she bows to his will.
ME: Oh noes you have been watching national geographic.
b: These roles exist in nature for a reason. Males provide for the females, they provide a rock to stand on.
b: the females in the pride return with submission. This is the way humans are as well.
