Creativity Crush

My instinct to discover and create comes almost constantly. It's like love. I just want to stare in it's face all day and when I can't it's torture so I have to find new ways to explore.

I just wrote a short play about punching a colleague in the face.

I need to lay on a mat like a kindergarten nap.

"The hip bone's connected to the..."


I think Perez Hilton was a little quick to jump on the name-calling train to Miss Cali. He had good points but I think his anger got in the way and now every clip of him has been edited to a sound bite of the 'B' word. But hey girl, this is America, thank goodness, and we are all allowed to love and hate each other as much as we want.

I can't even be angry at the Miss California's anymore. If your organization needs Miss T & A to make your point, your point must be a little difficult to make on it's own. Of course I think it is absolute lunacy that our country: founded on freedom FROM persecution supposedly with laws based on separating one's faith FROM one's government, actually has to pause and contemplate the validity of joining two adults in matrimony.

[Cue Wedding March.]
Are they of age? Check.
Are they of sound mind and body? Check.
Do they have all the right parts?
[Record scratch. Silence.]

What if...two consenting adults of sound mind and body wanted to get married, but one of them had been in a car accident deeming him/her sexless? Would they be allowed to get married?

Or how about hermaphrodites? Can they get married?

I used to work for a man and woman who had a Star Wars wedding. They both went as Darth Vader. I'm not kidding. Is their marriage legal? They both dressed as men...or alien men...or something...and they were still allowed to jump the broom. Why does that count? And aren't parents allowed to give consent for their underage kids to marry in some states? I read that somewhere. I also read that our brains do not fully develop until we are 22. I would think that means we are not of 'sound mind' until then. But it's OK if our parents are? There are parents who SELL their children...but that is a whole other rant...

I just don't understand discrimination. We all silently judge each other and ourselves every second of every day. Shouldn't The UNITED States be the thing that levels the playing field? I guess we're only human. That is asking a lot. Unions have an agenda too.

I suppose certain rights are inalienable...depending on where you were born.
