Act like a monkey, think like a jackal

this morning on the steve harvey morning show, a woman wrote in for advice in her love life. she stated she'd been raped by a childhood friend and was slowly but surely piecing her life back together. she wanted to know if, now that she's met a young man she fancies, it was necessary to tell him about her rape history.

i missed the specific response to the question but i did here mr. steve harvey "keeping it real" with regards to child rapists.

basically, any man can get sex from a willing adult female for $20. why would he have to take it, especially from a 5 year old.

yes, yes, that's right, the dude who made a kajillion dollars recently giving relationship advice, who has been on Oprah and other talk shows telling womens about ourselves, has the solution to the rape of girl children:

the sexual exploitation of desperate adult women.

because believe me, a woman who is having sex with strangers for $20 is desperate, broken,....and very likely a survivor of childhood sexual trauma.

shet up, steve harvey. leave the theorizing on the reasons behind and solutions to childhood rape to people who already know it's not about sex.

stick with what you know: cosmetic dentistry and love handles.

when issues are forced

yesterday, i had a conversation with a friend and asked her if she'd created any new year's resolutions. she said no, she hadn't. i stated i hadn't either and settled on the fact that i didn't really think i needed to make promises to myself to change anything.

then today, a few moments ago actually...i took a reader's survey on a blog i read regularly. question number 8 crystallized the wackness of my existence right now:

so apparently, all i do regularly is watch tv, drink wine, surf the web, and die a little bit everyday...i'm in desperate need of a life overhaul.

damn.

and i thought things were going so well...

Same as it ever was.....

stop me if you've heard this one:

the US government is given warnings and credible information regarding the movements and extremist ideology of an Al Qaeda operative, who is determined to carry out a terrorist attack against this country on a airplane.

and then the government didn't do anything about the information.

and then the Al Qaeda operative attacks a plane in the United States.

now for the punchline: no, i'm not talking about 2001. i'm talking about now.

thanks for proving to me that it doesN't matter which jackass has the job, i'm probably still not that safe.

I'M TALKING TO YOU, NAPOLITANO CIA!
