My Crazy Ass Blind Date

I got a call a few weeks ago from a man I didn't know. Turns out one of my clients gave him my phone number and my business card with my picture on it and told him that he HAD to call me because I was a "towering beauty." Wow. I don't know which angle to go with there, wrong on so many levels, giving out my number without asking? Comparing me to an Amazon temptress? Forcing someone to ask someone else on a blind date? Anyway I was so blindsided when he called that I ended up agreeing to brunch at The Pearl after my vacation to Seattle (with a different guy I'm dating). When I was returning from my trip, my blind date to be left this message below. WOW again.I thought maybe I shouldn't go but I LOVE The Pearl, LOVE brunch and mimosas and LOVE free meals. oh I also LOVE a good story so I went. He was a hot tall silver fox who dressed and talked like a gay man, pretty sure he was but we had fun. No surprise at all though, after our date he e-mailed me a picture. Him in a clown wig playing frisbee....god I love dating, when you're a woman who isn't saddled with the pressure of finding a mate and a baby daddy you can enjoy the free meal and great story after!
My Blind Dates Message He Left Before our Date:

Hey Heather, Welcome Back!
Before I say another word, there's really a question I need to ask you, and if your answer is No then all bets are off, and that is:
Are you still as tall and black as when you left and we spoke last week?
'Cause if your not, coffees off, dinners off, idle conversations off.
But if you are it'd be my pleasure to take you out and do something.
This is ****, I hope your mornings going well, I hope you had a nice trip.
And if you've Googled me and seen all my nefarious criminal relatives just know that I'm the black sheep of the family, the only upstanding honest one.
So give me a call, at ***-***-****
Talk to you soon

Missing the time when we took sun for granted SD?

Notre Dames First Black Valedictorian You Never Heard About

Ok COME ON NEWS! I seriously read a news story about Lindsay Lohans Dad trying to get HER some help the other day. Also read a story about some 17 year old schmuck selling a fake kid on Craigslist. There are SLOW ASS news days ok? So whhhhhy the hell did NO ONE hear about the first black valedictorian in like 61 years (which is EVER)??? Lame, but congrats Katie Washington. As a 2.9 average GPAer I can't fathom the time and homework load it took to achieve that, good lord, but carry on and discover great things! (WBBM) -- History is being made at the University of Notre Dame this spring In the 161 years the University of Notre Dame has been awarding degrees, never had there been an African-American as valedictorian. Until this year. She’s Katie Washington of Gary, Indiana. She carries a 4.0 GPA majoring in biology and minoring in Catholic social teaching. According to the Northwest Indiana Times, Washington plans to continue her studies at Johns Hopkins University and follow in her father’s footsteps into medicine. Washington says she’s humbled by the honor of being named valedictorian. More information from Notre Dame University: Katie Washington, a biological sciences major from Gary, Ind., has been named valedictorian of the 2010 University of Notre Dame graduating class and will present the valedictory address during Commencement exercises May 16 (Sunday) in Notre Dame stadium. Washington, who earned a 4.0 grade point average, has a minor in Catholic Social Teaching. She has conducted research on lung cancer at the Cold Spring Harbor labs and performed genetic studies in the University’s Eck Institute for Global Health on the mosquito that carries dengue and yellow fever. She is the co-author of a research paper with David Severson, professor of biological sciences. Washington directs the Voices of Faith Gospel Choir at Notre Dame, is a mentor/tutor for the Sister-to-Sister program at South Bend’s Washington High School and serves as the student coordinator of the Center for Social Concerns’ “Lives in the Balance: Youth Violence and Society Seminar.” Upon graduation, Washington plans to pursue a joint M.D./Ph.D program at Johns Hopkins University.

MInute to Win It Rules!!

I had dinner over at a friends and she and her husband rushed us through dinner in order to catch this bad ass game show, Minute to Win It. Basically contenstants have one minute to complete these super hard but seemingly easy tasks, if they finish it they go to the next level, each level having a higher and higher cash amount they could win ala "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." You can even practice the games at home. My friend already has plans to have a 'Minute to Win It" drinking party!

When's the last time you met a full on Timothy, not a Tim, or even a Timmy, but a Timothy. After awhile it stops sounding like a real name.

No New LOST Episode Tonite:(

Bummer! It's the LAST season guys, jesus christ, there are only four more episodes left! You think you could eeek one more storyline out, tie up even more loose ends ya know? Tonight they will air "Ab Aeterno" in its place, arguably the fucking freakiest episode this season with a flashback to Richard Alpert's 1800's beginnings and arrival on The Island on The Black Rock. The next episode, The Candidate, airs on May 4th.

Project Reason Button

From The Project Reason Website

Probably my favorite atheist quote is “Atheism is a belief like not collecting stamps is a hobby.”

So I was thinking, what would be the best symbol or logo to put on a pin? I do really like Dawkins’ scarlet letter A, but I feel a littlle confrontational when I wear mine, and I pick and choose the venues for it. How about a blank white button as an alternative? I don’t think white has been “taken” yet, and it seems right in so many ways. White is the absence of color and has a quality of purity. It is the opposite of confrontational, it can not be construed as a put-down or as self-righteous. It just doesn’t say anything. It will attract some questioning and then the wearer can then explain any way he/she chooses. It’d be the cheapest pin to make or have made and it will work in all sizes! There’s no need for an organization to sponsor it; unlike the “A” it’s not a logo and has no affiliation. It’s almost a semi-secret way of stating one’s position. And it’s so great that the blank white pin has not yet been used for anything!

I think this idea is in line with Sam Harris’ opinion that atheists don’t have to be strident, and include all manner of people.

Blank white button. What do you think?

Pretty Sure Anderson Cooper is Gay

From Gawker:
Page Six today has a not-very-thinly-veiled item about Anderson Cooper going on a very gay vacation with his very gay boyfriend who owns a very gay bar. Enough: Anderson Cooper is very gay. It's time he said it.

Here's the New York Post's gossip column item about Cooper going to the "best hotel in the world" in India:

Anderson Cooper has been consoling himself over falling ratings by living it up in Jaipur, India, at one of the world's most opulent hotels. The CNN star was spotted Tuesday with his muscular friend, Benjamin Maisani, an owner of East Village bar Eastern Bloc, at the Rambagh Palace, named the best hotel in the world by Conde Nast Traveler. Cooper's $3,200-a-night room features a four-poster mahogany bed and views of the gardens of the former Maharaja palace. Our source said, "Anderson's room has a large round bathtub. On the first night it was filled with bubbles and sprinkled with red rose petals." CNN declined to comment.

Image of the Day: Jesus Was Hung On The Cross

A church in Oklahoma City - specifically St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church - is in the midst of a controversy about this crucifix, which some parishioners claim shows Jesus with a giant penis.

Others say it's just his abs (showing "distention"), I guess in the well-known "four pack" configuration which was all the rage two millennia ago. (It is only thanks to the innovations of the Industrial Revolution that we can now achieve a six pack.) (I should probably fact-check that, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.)

What do you think - is it a penis? And, if it is, would that make you more likely to attend services?

Missing Guy is Local Muscian

SAN DIEGO — Friends and family are searching for a Mission Valley man who left home for work early Monday morning and has not been seen since.

Erick Allen Wales, 24, was reported missing Tuesday morning about 4 a.m., said San Diego police Lt. Ernie Herbert.

Wales left his apartment about 6:30 a.m. for his job at VestaCare in La Jolla, where he works as an information technologist, and has not been seen or heard from since, said friend Rich Cook.

Cook described his friend of five years as a computer guy who loves his iPhone and is constantly in touch. He said that even if Wales is just a few minutes late, he will send a text.

“He’s that kind of guy,” Cook said.

Wales’ cell phone goes straight to voice mail and there has been no activity online, Cook said.

Herbert said detectives are working with Wales’ family and re-traveling his steps but so far have come up with no leads.

“It’s really a mystery,” Herbert said.

Friends are passing out fliers and spreading information via the Web and Twitter.

Wales is described as 6 feet tall, about 140 pounds and slender with blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and a brown belt. His car is a black two-door Saturn Ion, California license plate FR33BSD, with a broken right side mirror and a KPBS license frame.

Before disbanding in 2006, Dehra Dun were a local sensation. Wales played keytar in the band, which would reform as The Silent Comedy. Anyone with information about Erick should call 619-301-9283.

Anyone with information is asked to call the San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

I love this fucking planet so much!!!!! I really really do. Everyone was tripping on how gorgeous the land in Avatar was (myself included) but I think OUR planet is just as wondrous and awesome, we just take it's beauty for granted. Maybe Earth Day is just another April 22nd to you but honestly, if you love the beach, the mountains, a sunset, the smell of rain, your dog, your neighborhood, trees, flowers, anything on the planet, then google "Ways to Help the Environment" and commit to making just a few changes that benefit our planet for years to come and help you really appreciate what we have here!! Start with simple ones like using reusable water bottles and coffee mugs instead of plastic water bottles and paper or styrofoam cups. Bring your old grocery bags to the store or bring bags from home to bag up your items. Use low energy light bulbs, carpool or ride your bike when you can. Hell even going camping and paying to use a state park is helping. Pick up a few pieces of trash today and enjoy the Earth, it sounds so hippy but this planet is really amazing when you break down to the basics. I hate that humans are like this parasite eating up all the natural resources and beauty, lets live WITH the Earth ya know?

The Hottest Chain Letter for Tea Party People Right Now

My father, whom I really used to look up to and respect, sent me the e-mail below today. He is a military retiree so I know this e-mail really hit home and he sent it to a bunch of people. What he didn't do was check to see if it was true. And that scares me because that means my dad will believe any chain e-mail that gets sent to him and that is the mentality of a lot of the Obama Naysayers out there. "As long as it aligns with my belief that Obama is bad, it must be true." When you don't prove your point with FACTS it really make your credibility crumble and it makes it difficult to respect you. They even used menacing snap shots of Obama to create a real feeling. Much like Bush e-mails back in the day. But that's when Bush lied to our nation about Iran and Iraq having weapons of mass destruction so him and his friends could make billions. Read the chain e-mail below and then go over to SNOPES to get the TRUTH AND FACTS about this chain e-mail going around.

MOST OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT EVER MADE BY A PRESIDENT – Sat. March 6^th.

Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute."

"I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country," Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

How in the world did a person with this mindset become our leader?

Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their families whom you know.

REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT... "Nobody made these guys go to war.
They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"

If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over... If you or a family member is or has served their country, please pass this to them. _________

So he thinks vets should pay for their own health care but the rest of us should pay for deadbeat illegal immigrants on welfare.

OK, NOW READ THE TRUTH AND FACTS AT SNOPES

HAPPY 420!!

National Weed Appreciation Day! Smoke some weed, listen to some music, enjoy the weather (thunderstorms tomorrow!), and call up some friends to join!

Celebrating 4/20: National Pot Day

From Slate:
There are a lot of rumors about why April 20 is the date that stoners across America unite for an all-day celebration of smoking marijuana. It doesn't matter which, if any, are true. The fact remains: Thousands of pounds of pot will be burned today, and not in backyard BBQ pits. Using decidedly unscientific methods, the Daily Beast put together a list of what it called "America's Highest Cities." To construct and rank the list, the Daily Beast used the following data: the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration's most recent survey, which estimated pot usage in the past month, arrest data based on pot possession and sale, and a pot-friendliness scale from Steve Bloom, former editor of High Times magazine. To be considered, a city required a metro area of at least 30,000. When the dust settled, Eureka, Calif., was determined to be America's highest city. Not surprising: Eureka is part of northern California's famed Emerald Triangle, the subject of a recent Rolling Stone report that quoted a local as saying every resident was involved in the business of pot. Rounding out the top five were Tallahassee, Florida; Manhattan; Boston; and San Francisco.

Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010

Opponents of the initiative, including prosecutors and police, say legalization would lead to higher crime rates. In 2008, voters defeated an attempt to relax the state's drug laws.

Supporters say state-run studies have found that taxes on marijuana could raise as much as $1.4 billion in annual revenue.

Polls show that a majority of California voters support legalization. A Field Poll last year found that 56 percent of state voters want to legalize and tax pot as a way to help solve the state's fiscal crisis.

Plus you can cruise down the street or in a park or beach with a joint and be a-ok. Google, How to roll a joint, for more info or to roll a different kind of joint. Hell, you can make smoking devices from anything!!

Sex and the City 2, no high hopes here

Carrie somehow apologizing to Big for HIS failure to show up at their preplanned wedding was enough to make me hate The Sex and The City movie. And believe me, there was already enough in there I could have gone off of to still uphold my thumbs down decision (WHY the hell did Charlotte's adopted daughter appear in fucking every scene reducing the girls to baby talk and code language?!). So when I heard a sequel was coming out I couldn't get hard for it. Look's like more faux cheating drama and worst of all? Carrie Bradshaw, who HATES kids is thinking of having a kid. Oh, Big also seems to be repulsed by the idea of having kids too. But you gotta pander to the baby obsessed weak of mind women who eat this dribble up, I get that. At least the fashion will be good (?).

Most Americans Lose Their Virginity in Their Teens

80 percent of men and 75 percent of women lose their virginity by age 19.

While men in their teens and early 20s are more likely to claim that they've circled the bases at least one time, females become the more broadly experienced sex after age 25.

According to the Web site Book of Odds -- using figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the chances that a man between the ages of 25 and 44 has never had intercourse are 1 in 35.71; whereas the odds are 1 in 58.22 for a woman in the same age group.

Another interesting fact: if you are a male of sexual age who reports still having his V-card intact, you are more likely to have an IQ that is either significantly higher or lower than average.

Although we can't read too much into that until we see a study which examines the correlation between IQ and giving honest responses to sex surveys.

Persistent genital arousal disorder

From Wikipedia:
Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD), originally called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) and also known as Restless Genital Syndrome or Mempin Syndrome (ReGS or RGS)[1] [2], results in a spontaneous and persistent genital arousal, with or without orgasm or genital engorgement, unrelated to any feelings of sexual desire. It was first documented by Dr. Sandra Leiblum in 2001,[3] only recently characterized as a distinct syndrome in medical literature.[4] Some physicians use the term Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome to refer to the condition in women; others consider the syndrome of priapism in men to be the same disorder.[4][5] In particular, it is not related to hypersexuality, sometimes known as nymphomania or satyriasis. In addition to being very rare, the condition is also frequently unreported by sufferers who may consider it shameful or embarrassing.[6]

Physical arousal caused by this syndrome can be very intense and persist for extended periods, days or weeks at a time. Orgasm can sometimes provide temporary relief, but within hours the symptoms return. The symptoms can be debilitating, preventing concentration on mundane tasks. Some situations, such as riding in an automobile or train, vibrations from mobile phones, and even going to the toilet can aggravate the syndrome unbearably.[7][8]

A Dutch study has connected PSAS with restless legs syndrome.[9]

'Crash the Tea Party' Rallies Planned Nationwide on Tax Day

From Polotics Daily:
Opponents of the Tea Party movement are planning to crash the group's rallies this week as a way to portray the conservative activists as out of touch with ordinary Americans.

The "Crash the Tea Party" campaign -- which calls itself a "group of Democrats, Republicans and Independents" -- has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are recruiting members to infiltrate events Thursday, tax day, founder Jason Levin told The Associated Press.

The goal is "to act on behalf of the Tea Party in ways which exaggerate their least appealing qualities (misspelled protest signs, wild claims in TV interviews, etc.) to further distance them from mainstream America and damage the public's opinion of them," according to a mission statement on the group's Web Site.

Levin told Talking Points Memo he got the idea after seeing activists take on the infamous Westboro Baptist Church (the "God Hates Fags" people) outside Twitter headquarters earlier this year. He said the demonstration fizzled when counterprotesters' signs "out-crazied" the Westboro group.

"Every time we have someone on camera saying that Barack Obama isn't an American citizen, we want someone sitting next to him saying, 'That's right, he's an alien from outer space!' " Levin told the AP.

Bob MacGuffie, a Connecticut organizer for Right Principles, a Tea Party group, said opponents "can't actually debate our message and that's their problem," according to a story in the Boston Herald.

New York Tea Party coordinator Judy Pepenella said the attempt to destroy the movement was evidence its message is resonating. "We've been ignored, we've been ridiculed. Well, now they're coming after us," she said.

It's Yakima, WA! It's in South Central WA and I'm staying in this lovely town for about 2 days. I thought it was gonna be some hole in the middle of nowhere but it's not so! I just hit up this amazing wine tasting, had an incredible french dinner and stayed at a beautiful Hilton. This place is a major wine region, established long ago by Lewis and Clark. It's gorgeous, has old building mixed with new in this well laid out downtown. 75% of all hops made in the US are here so you know the beer is good. The dining is awesome and the people are nice! Still, we've asked eeeeeveryone WHY it's called The Palm Springs of Washington and nobody, from Yakima lifers to Yakima visitors to Wikipedia, nobody knows why it's called "The Palm Springs of Washington!"

Crazy Water Cat!

It runs a little long but it's just so funny!

Summer Means Humphrey's Goes Live

What do the Black Crows, Chelsea Handler and Diana Ross have in common? They are all gracing the summer stage at Humprey's. Get a kayak, boat or even surfboard out on the water and catch the show on stage left for FREE! Blow up boat from Big Lots will get you approx. 48 minutes of concert time before it sinks. Yes. I know from experience....
