Blogging My Life

What was it, three days ago? Anyway, a few days ago channel 13 news was running a story about some women being angry with Starbucks because an employee had asked a breast feeding woman to either "cover up or go to the bathroom." As part of the story, they talked with a big fat woman who said, "society needs to lighten up and I need to be able to live my life outside my house, and if that means feeding my child when he's hungry, then so be it." I say, "Fuck that." Lady, society did not ask you to squeeze out any kids, and I think society has a right not to see your flat, flappy, nasty, stretch-marked tit shoved into some screaming brat's mouth.

(Read this first sentence in the voice of that kid from "The Sixth Sense.") I see car commercials. (Okay, you can read in normal voice now) I sit here and watch TV and I see car commercials. The cars are being driven fast along a beach somewhere, or fast along some mountain road with no other vehicles in sight, or fast out in the woods. These commercials lie. The fact is, motorized vehicles are banned on most beaches in the US. The fact is, when those mountain roads are accessible, you're going to get stuck going behind someone else who's car shouldn't be attempting the hill climb. And, let's be honest now, most 'Trailblazers' and 'Mountaniers' and 'Pathfinders' never... ever... do what their names say they're built to do. Most of them never leave the paved, mean streets of Bellevue or Kirkland or (insert any suburb name here), except when they drive to the city to go shopping at "Nordy's," or Pacific Place Mall. Aft...

This is beautiful. Definately worth a read.
