"Its like a really bad Disney movie."



http://womenagainstsarahpalin. blogspot. com/

What is remarkable to me about Sarah Palin is that she seems to have no awareness that feminists of previous generations are what have made it possible for her to present her unwed, pregnant daughter without any public shame. As few as thirty years ago, Bristol would have been shipped off to have her baby in private and the child would have been put up for adoption. Because of Roe v. Wade feminists, unmarried women can now have children free from the shame of previous generations. Every generation of feminists has a burden or hurdle to overcome. Seventeen years ago Susan Faludi coined the term "backlash", but at this moment we are experiencing something infinitely worse: it's more like "whiplash". The powerful discrepancy between the image of a woman and what that woman represents is going to result in a dangerous election for all women.

When I hear women declaring that electing Sarah Palin as VP would be a gain for women, I am amazed and heartsick. Having our hard-won rights squelched by men would be bad enough, but how much more galling and tragic to lose them because of a woman. Sarah Palin would hurt women, on a large scale. And when women are hurt, their children usually hurt, too. Palin is another Republican theocrat pretending to be a libertarian. Her pretty smile belies the fact that she is very, very dangerous.

Cru Jones Vs. Hollywood Mike Miranda



When i was wrapping up high school, Dylan and I started a thrash band...This band was all about tearing it up, getting people moving, and really causing as much trouble as we could. Our shows got pretty out of control, sometimes violent, but they were alway fun...besides a few bruises and cuts never really hurt anyone.

This band was called Hollywood Mike Miranda, it was named after the pro BMX rider, Hollywood Mike Miranda, who races Helltrack in RAD, and wipes out 3-4 times. Dude is pretty much a tool, and was a total inspiration to our band. I found this interview with him (he comes on about halfway through the clip). Its funny we were really the antithesis of each other.



This is the best intro/outro to any movie ever...hands down...no question.
It is also from my personal favorite movie of all time. RAD. I have no idea just how many times i have watched this movie, hundreds? Thousands? It pretty much defined my entire childhood...my adolescence as well.



Long Live HMM.

I will be this many...

On September 2nd i will be turning 27. To celebrate i am having a birthday party this weekend. The party is going to be my (2)7th birthday party, this means that the party is going to be a party for a 7 year old. Filled with things that a 7 year old Southern Californian child would love.

A Clown
Face painting
Balloon Animals
Pinatas
Costumes
Games
Booze

and El Bronx playing Mariachi.



We tried to get a bounce house but our backyard isn't big enough (DAMN!)

Happy Birthday to me!
