How much time do you spend on the internet on an average day? Do you think it's too much?

Is 10 - 12 hours too much?!....naaaahhh

In my defense, I use the interwebs for my career....granted I don't HAVE to use it but maybe 4 out of the 8 hours I'm there (and that's generous), but still....

PLUS there are sites I have to wait till I'm home to use....so yea.

O o does internet radio count as time on the internet?!?!

....yea, I spend way too much time online.

People wonder how I can live without even basic cable. If they only knew....

People freak out if they loose their phone and are perplexed by the fact that I could care less about mine. Only reason I freak about mine is if I need it right that second and b/c I spent 500 bucks on it so you know....but if it's dead most of the time, so what. If they could see how I freak when I forget to pay the bill and my internet goes down.....

I refuse to replace the factory screen protector on my little tablet reader because if I do I would spend even MORE time looking at a screen, and that's just not fair to my poor little eyes.

Team Porsche: Sometimes you just gotta beat some narcissistic @$$.

Heard on the radio today, two trashy "housewives" of Atlanta got into a scuffle during the reunion.

Let me change that, ONE trashy 'housewife' pushed another cast mate to her breaking point.

Kenya, the trashy one, came out with a freaking bull-horn and called out Porsche for 'being a ho'. Because supposedly Porsche cheated on her ex-husband. I don't know if that's true and I don't care.

What I care about is what happened as a result of Kenya wanting all the attention.

Porsche went for her hair, they both fell on the ground, Porsche got ejected from the reunion.

Now, the important part. AFTER the fight, Porsche broke down, and cried. What was she blubbering? Did she care about her reputation? Was she mad about being accused of cheating? No, she was EMBARRASSED because she felt like she let down her family! How amazing is that? You go girl. I'm not even mad at you.

Now, one thing you have to know about Porsche, she's the granddaughter of a major Civil Rights Activist Hosea Williams. Now, granted, one could argue she embarrassed her fam by even being on the show (also: her parents kind of embarrassed our race by naming her after a car, but I digress...), but I will continue to give her the benefit of the doubt and say: maybe she hoped to bring true class to the show.

Picture this: a show about women, by women, for PEOPLE (men, women, and children). What would the world and show look like if everyone was just as attracted to the Bravo! series for showcasing positive women doing POSITIVE things to benefit their family and community? Wouldn't that be awesome?! But who'd want to watch that -ish? Am I right?! Sadly, I am. Sadly, there's currently no place for WHOLESOME crap on the airwaves, save that healthy stuff for your organic-gluten-peanut free aisle.

*sigh* Humanity really makes me sad sometimes......

Prostitution Should be LEGAL: Or the porn industry needs to be shut down, dealers choice.
Submitted by OrionsFaith on April 18th, 2014 –
Category: Random

That's right, I said it.

Funny how the same people who want to hate the government for taking away a woman's right to have an abortion turn around and judge street walkers.

I don't agree with abortion and I do not currently sell my body for money, but I also don't feel I have the right to tell a woman (or man) she(he) can't have sex for money. Porn stars do it EVERYDAY! The difference? Anyone can be a hooker, but you have to be "hot" to sell the sex on tape. In what world does this even make sense?!!?!

You know why prostitution isn't legal? The same reason marijuana is illegal. The same reason the 1% club put our country through prohibition. Greed.

People whore themselves out EVERY DAY in dead end jobs and high salary careers that we HATE. Fact is, people need money. Fact is, if you pay them the right amount, people will do ANYTHING to survive. Whether you pay them $50,000 a year to waste away in a cubicle 40 hours a week or pay them 50 bucks for a good BJ a slut is a slut. Sure we pretty it up by giving ourselves fancy titles like 'Administrative Assistant' or 'Business Analyst' but a rose by any other name is still a hooker.

At the risk of sounding even more conspiratorial I think a part of the reason the 1% club refuses to make selling your own body legal could be population control also. Think about it, street walking is a DANGEROUS and lucrative business. Odds of you living a healthy happy life to the age of 80 being a street walker...slim to none.

What would be the odds of a child being forced to sell their body if ADULT prostitution was legal? Think about it. Every single cop that currently is on the beat arresting grown ass women who made poor decisions growing up COULD be out saving babies that are kidnapped and otherwise forced to enjoy rape. In lay-mens terms: More police officers could put time into rescuing child sex slaves if prostitution was legal. Child prostitution might not disappear, but if ADULT prostitution was legal I GUARANTEE you the statistics would go down. WAY down.

Think about it.

ION: Twisted Romeo and Juliet....Tru Callings BEST episode!
Submitted by OrionsFaith on April 16th, 2014 –
Category: T.V.
Remember that TV show that only lasted 2 seasons back in 2004/2005 and featured the good girl from Bring It On and a guy from 90210?! Yea, me neither, but I came across it at the library a couple weeks ago. I'm on Season 2 and just watched episode 4: The Last Good Day.

Tru's calling is to save people who die. They ask for her help after they die, her day automatically resets and her mission is to save them. Enter Jack, aka death, aka 90210 guy. His job is the OPPOSITE, make sure 'fate' occurs and they DO die.

Well this episode was amazing because the victim asked for HIS help instead of Tru's. Well the victim's intention was to make her death an accident, not a suicide, so her sister would get her life insurance. O yea, she has leukemia and wants to die on her terms. Enter Tru, she tells her she can die another day if she wants and she wins her and her sister 100 grand on some boxing match (the one really cool part about Tru's talent is being able to bet well). With that much money life looks a whole lot more interesting.

Jack doesn't want to kill her but Tru's dad, death in retirement, pressures him. The emotion's palpable, it's the first time you really feel for him. It's as if you see him die a little, make that a lot, on the inside also.

If you only ever watch one episode of Tru's Calling, 'The Last Good Day' should be it.

Do you feel obligated to finish all the books you start reading? Why?

Good question. I used to and sometimes I still do. I just hate the idea of not knowing how something ended, no matter how horrible it starts. I think I feel like I would be missing out. I also think it's just a little OCD in the works.

Now a days I have a few books I've started and still haven't finished. Some I plan to finish, others I don't, but oddly enough they all 'haunt' me in a way. Meaning I randomly remember books I've started and think about picking them back up.

I wouldn't be surprised if one day I do actually complete all the books I've started. Whether I like them or not.

DAY 35 - April 7, 2014: If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?

Oooooo, good one!

I want to be one of those contortionist/acrobatic flipper people! Flipper as in back flips, not penguin/dolphin.

Course this is assuming I would have more talent than I currently possess.

I'd also like to be a lion tamer and/or work with exotic animals.

Again, this is assuming I wasn't fearful and the animals were bred in captivity.

What other circus acts are there?

If we're being more literal and I have to use my current abilities....I'd probably end up being the bearded lady.....*sigh* reality sucks.

Prompt: What five (5) colors best represent your personality?

I like this! Silver, Blue, Red, Orange and Purple

That was a total mind dump/quick association. Just whatever came to mind, they say that's the truth.

Silver and Blue are just two of my favorite colors. I've always preferred Silver jewelry over gold and it says 'Regal' to me, more so than Gold. Gold's too gaudy and boisterous which is not my personality.
Blue is most peoples favorite color. I red somewhere because of the sky (and probably ocean). I would narrow it down to sky blue (ohps, looks what I did there - make it "light" blue) if I had to. I can be very air-heady/imaginative sometimes, so it works.

Red....I tend to avoid red items/accessories just because it's so popular, but it looks great against my skin, so it's a partial fav. O wait, personality. Vivacious, full of life, you know, Red.

Orange and Purple, not sure where those came from. I think my brain spit them out because they also look good on me. But personality wise....orange is a mix of yellow and red. I really like yellow and can be bright and shiny but most of the time I don't like to stand out, so dulling it down with a little red makes sense.

Purple....not sure what the standard 'meaning' of purple is, but I would call it a 'homey' color. It reminds me of mothers and caregiving and just chilling at home, doing chores, snuggling up. I am a Cancer and we are supposedly massive nesters and I do tend to stay in a lot...so yea, that fits.

Now, on to much more serious matters:
ANDRE'S BLOG PROMPTS

APRIL 3, 2014

Why do they call it monkeying around? I asked Google and found more questions than answers. It made me think that maybe the Writing.com Bloggers can shed some light on this gripping question and some of the others posed by Google.
Help a monkey out, by blogging about...What you know about monkeying around.

How To Sleep Around A Noisy Monkey?
That's silly, give him a banana pacifier laced with a sleeping drought of course.

How Do Monkeys Move Around?
Arms and legs.

What Is The Storyline Of Monkeying Around?
One day a mother and father took a daughter and son to the zoo. Son and daughter saw monkeys for the first time. Both children were enthralled by the monkey's energy and how they just kept moving and bounching and screeching and yelling and throwing and all manner of hooplah.

Daughter: Daddy what are they doing?

Father: O don't worry about it dear, they're monkeys; they're just monkeying around.

And thus the phrase was born. Later on in the car her little brother kept moving around, squirming, shouting and otherwise expressing himself after being stuffed to the gills with sugar and sweets from the day out. Finally fed up with his nonsense daughter turned to the son and loudly said:

"STOP MONKEYING AROUND!!!"

And thus the phrase lives on.


Why Are Monkeys Still Around?
Because they are the roaches of the mammal world. Plus they're our cousins, we can't let them go extinct!

Why Do Monkeys Roll Around On The Ground?
Because it's fun.

Answer one or more of these questions in your blog entry. Answer with all of the confidence of an expert on the topic.

The next prompt will be posted on April 6, 2014.

My 2nd Journal
orionsfaith
June 7th, 2004
Current Mood:amused
Current Music:old time (movie's set in like the 50s)
F.Y.I. All my subjects won't be so...obvious.
It's Monday morning, my cuzins graduation is at 7p.m. We are supposed to be going out to get some breakfast some time soon (yes it's 1:30 in the afternoon but who hasn't eaten a late breakfast once or twice in their day? Anywho, I'm here at my Aunts' with my mom, older cuzin (who's like a sis to me), and her little girl Jermia. U gotta love the kid. She looks just like her mom and everytime I see her I gotta think "man I knew yo' mama when she wasn't even thinkin' about havin' kids and here u are."
Ok I'm back from eating at Bob Evans, they really need to put them back in GA
Anywayz, I love Jermia, she's like a niece to me, but she serves as excellent birth control. Don't get pregnant unless u can handle it.
Sex. Such a funny word. I say to my friends that I can see myself having sex with I guess u can say many of them, but weither or not I would actually do it....that's different.
I could write for a while, but I'm distracted with cable, seeing as though we don't have even basic cable at my house. All my aunts and uncles have cable and the movie channels. Watching "Unstrung Heros" right now.{/i}
