Unspoken Truth

Forgive my ramblings. I am a tv junkie, even more so now that I have tivo. I am still a bit salty over the White House Thief's useless and insensitive address.
American Idol and 24 is far more meaningful and truthful than anything he had to say. I am frustrated that there are too many shows that I want to see that overlap. I have to watch the AI results show, I am a fan of Tru Calling, can't miss the Apprentice, and I get a kick out of those ungreatful bastards on Making the Band II.

I know its been a while since my last post. I have been a bit busy and just plain tired. I had been entertaining a Chihuaua while it's owner was out of town who was mentioned in a previous entry. During this time JB got 2 6week old Jack Russel Terriers. He was giving me one and the other was supposed to go home with the Chihuaua. Well let me tell you the Chihuaua was having no parts of that. Initially he went into straight attack mode and was hateful to anyone who touched the puppies. JB decided to keep the other puppy.

Stand with Cho! Tell Bush No!

It is now clear that President Bush will use attacks against gays and lesbians as a 2004 election year strategy.

This week, President Bush officially declared his support for the Federal Marriage Amendment -- a measure that would write discrimination into the United States Constitution.

This is our year to fight back and be heard.

If we stand united in 2004, we can protect our civil rights and liberties and protect the constitution from the hands of the far-right conservatives. That's why I want you to add your name along with mine to this petition -- it's time to stand up and be heard.

Our goal is huge -- 500,000 signers by June -- Pride month I want you to sign it and I want you to pass it to your friends. This is critical to our civil rights and liberties.

Bush can't run on his record, so he'll work to divide Americans on wedge issues like same-sex marriage to ignite his failing campaign. What's worse -- he's willing to do it by darkening our Constitution with an amendment that forbids our rights instead of protecting them -- the only amendment to do so save Prohibition.

All of our civil rights are at stake, and we must do everything we can to protect them. Let's start by showing them we are many, united, and will not be silent any longer. Please sign this petition today and join with the DNC in making our voices heard and defeating Bush in November.

Sincerely, Margaret Cho

As mentioned in a previous entry Back in the day. I mentioned Teena Marie was one of my favorite artists. She provided the soundtrack of my youth along with others such as New Edition.

Teena has been off the scene for a while, but I am glad to hear she has a label deal. A new CD titled La Dona is dropping soon with the single "Still in Love" hitting radio March 3, 2004. Hopefully theis new project will return her to the commercial success of the 1980's.

So now you guys know what wood looks like. I did not really mean to put myself out here but it was necessary to understand this story.

JB and I took our first trip together. We went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. This was my first trip with anybody I was involved with. It was a experience.
When we arrived it was 70 degrees and sunny. The Dr. and his partner were already there when we arrived so I was ready to have a good time.

For some reason JB was just in a foul mood from the time we arrived. I sent JB and the Dr. to Acme to get their seafood fix while Twan and I went to popeyes (neither one of us eats seafood). I thought this would calm him down. He later tells me I ruining his vacation, and we are going home in the morning. I make a quick call to j. to take myself out of the moment before I said anything. Whatever the deal was, it had nothing to do with me. Hell I have not had time do do anything but wake up and eat some chicken. Plus having a psychology minor, I know displaced aggression when I see it. I knew I had do something which is really hard for me to do. That was to sit pretty.

It's a slow day at work since the computers are down. This is how I am spending the day.

I have 101 things to do in about 12 hours. JB and I are drining to New Orleans tonight for Mardi Gras. I generally never stay in New Orleans longer than 48 hours. I will be there until Wednesday. This will be our fist trip together. I am looking forward to it. I have never been the take sand to the beach type of person. I have never been out of town with a date. I normally travel alone and meet a date where ever I may be. This will be a new experience for me.
Besides we both can use a vacation.

I will be back next week, hopefully with some pictures.

This is funny as hell

I spent Sunday dog sitting with Arturo, pictured above. I am thinking about getting a dog. Wanted to see how I would react with a dog in my space. Outside of 1 accident on my carpet we got along fine. He was my little shadow. Until J. came over and got him fired up. Which was cool. He got to jump on J for a while and give me a break. After J.'s visit we chilled on the couch watching movies. When he was not tring to hump my arm or pillow, he sat on my lap and watched Finding Nemo. I dont know if he knew what was going on, but he seemed to be paying attention. His owner says he will watch animal plant when they are showing other dogs or fish. ( This is the kind of dog I want. One who will bark like crazy when bad people stop by, but is content sitting on his doggie pillow watching Animal planet or Tyra Banks next top model show.)

JB and I are taking our first trip together next week. We are going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. He wants to celebrate Valentines Day then. The only thing I wanted to do was see Dionne Farris at the Appache Cafe. JB did not want to go, J. did not have time to run it by loverboy, plus I could not get a table seat. I was in no mood to be standing for hours. It was a cold rainy night so I was not really pressed about going anywhere. I did break the rules and got JB some ballons and roses.

I spent the evening with a nice candlelit soak in the jacuzzi tub soothed by the sounds of Dianne Reeves and a bottle of Moet. Then watched a great copy of Monster on DVD.
