Pissah fo Life
For four seasons now I’ve been saying, “I can’t turn around in both directions” and “I can’t tomahawk” and “I can’t jump the apex.” Two practices into season 5, and I’ve demolished all those things. Turn around on my non-dominant foot? Pshaw … done and done. At speed? Hell yes! Hockey stop on both feet? DONE AND DONE.  I love...

Oh, and also? Do something about it.
Also, all those Tumblrs out there who are outraged? Give some cash to Planned Parenthood to support early cancer detection for low-income women. Because thanks to SGK, we need to make up about $500,000 in funding that they yanked to make a point. Even just a few bucks goes a long way towards early detection that saves lives.

Susan G. Komen fights for cancer prevention ......
Are there really enough conservative folks in Susan G Komen Foundation who are willing to sink the ship in order to express a political opinion? Honestly? You’d think there would be enough people who’s focus is on, I don’t know, cancer screening and treatment, to stand up and say, “Whoa whoa whoa, this is a little much, dontcha think?” Because withdrawing PP support...

Ah, those were the days...
Looking back through an old blog from grad school, and totally loving this quote from an entry during the summer between first and second year: So far I’m enjoying my summer. I’m happy I decided not to take class. Today I woke up at 10:45, didn’t shower, rolled out to Target at noon, and have spent the rest of the day watching “Law & Order” and reading...

City condemns lawmaker's rental home, says 'unfit'... →
Well, turns out Stacey Campfield is just an all-around swell guy. Also, check out the story about how a local Knoxville restaurant owner refused him service and asked him to leave her restaurant because she “didn’t want his hate in here.” I like when the people of my hometown stand up and say, “No more. This doesn’t represent me.”

Don't mind me, I'm just getting in a slap fight...
The man? Stacey Campfield, a Republican Representative from Knoxville (where I grew up), who sponsors the “Don’t Say Gay Bill.” The bill makes it illegal for K-8 teachers to acknowledge the existence of homosexuality or allude to it in any way in the  classroom. So yeah, a winner. Well, while on his dog and pony show promoting this embarrassment of legislation, he went on the...

…when it continued into Sunday morning, I decided I needed to do something about it. I needed to eat healthier … and stop thinking Burger King is an acceptable lunch destination. I don’t want to make a big deal out of it, like it’s one of those ridiculous cleanses or whatever (btw, I can’t see the word “cleanse” without thinking of you all shitting out...

Everyone else just give up the Internet today, because joyengel has owned all the wit in the land. (I, on the other hand, am not … hence the triple typo that’s now been fixed!)
