How perfect is the term “Peacocking”?!

“Take My Picture” is a fantastic mini-documentary, directed by Dasha Zhukova and Andinh Ha. It examines the phenomenon of “peacocking” in the fashion world due to the proliferation of street style blogs.

Today in Boulder: Swastikas

Snarky, Social Media, That's so Boulder, Today In Boulder

Actually this should be captioned “Yesterday in Boulder” but the inspiration for my blog post arrived in today’s comments section of the Daily Camera.

Derek Falls, manager at Weekends on the Pearl Street Mall, washes a drawing of a swastika off the store's front display window Jan. 7. Weekends was one of at least three stores to be tagged with swastikas. (Mitchell Byars/Daily Camera)

Seldom (I could easily say never) is there such a voice of reason in the midst of a Boulder “crises”. I blog this post not to showcase the latest late night antics of the creepy little shits drawn to our beloved town’s bleeding heart (more specifically, it’s generosity to panhandlers) but rather to reach out to you, ForemostFelon, and give you kudos for such a wonderful comment. Without having researched any of the other things you’ve anonymously posted on The Daily Camera’s virtual reader’s blog (I’m going to be so bummed if you’re a troll) I want to meet you and hopefully convince you to run for city council. Boulder needs more of this kind of talk.

Confession: The real reason I voted for Obama

Americana, Politics, Quiet time, Snarky, Social Media, Things I will NEVER do

All the credit for this goes to a FB acquaintance… which basically means Fox News.

In addition to “Beer For Bums”, and “Cellphones for Bums”….

I agree with keeping people on welfare FOREVER!

I want my parents and their friends to work two jobs while young able-bodied people live on handouts and get FOOD STAMPS!!! Seriously, who in the hell wants to learn how to fish?

I want the guys in the military (including the 4 in my family) to go off to war ill prepared and underfunded.

I believe in death squads… the more the merrier!

I want Obamacare to drain the system and leave everyone living on the streets…maybe the Baby Boomers will have to work THREE jobs!

All the ultra conservatives are exactly right, my vote had nothing to do with supporting a political party that sees women as equals and believes they are capable of making thoughtful and conscientious decisions for themselves and their families. And I certainly didn’t consider the idea that maybe the less fortunate should continue to get some support until we as a nation are back on our feet… and of course I see no difference between those who have real needs and those who are milking the system. Yes, I didn’t consider the ramifications of losing our credit rating and selling our country to China. I seriously have no clue about the dangers of the debt that’s been created and gave no thought to whose plan made more sense to me and my community.  On top of that, the notion that the US needs to work with the international community instead of telling them what to do never crossed my mind. I can’t imagine why we need to tread lightly as we move into an energy future that will hopefully offer alternative sources to the insanity that continues to take place with our suppliers in the Middle East.  And lastly, I never considered the views of family and friends who agree with the Republican agenda. I’m glad their candidate lost and and I’m especially glad that they’re worried about the future because of the decision I helped to make.

Whew! Feels good to clear that up! It bothered me that people assumed I put some thought into my decision and might have actually voted according to what I felt was best for my friends, my family and my community.

Atlanta Life, Chris is rolling his eyes, Shameless self promotion!, Social Media

If you’re looking for a wonderful lifestyle change Chris and I are renting our Inman Park Condo for $1100 / month. Listen up all you people in Boulder who keep fussing about finding love. Here’s your chance to move to Atlanta for a year, find a sweetie who isn’t an uber athlete (or a ski bum living on someone’s sofa), and then take them back to B-town for a happily ever after…worked for Chris!

Here’s the ad along with more photos (a little blurry due to crummy Andriod technology).  PS, if you’re clicking over from Craigslist we tell you to contact “MJ” for Mrs. Jones. People never believe my name is Spice.

In Honor Of International Women’s Day

Americana, Great Ladies, Politics, Social Media, Things I love

Seldom do I let the language of idiots get to me (a change in recent years) but Rush’s latest comments followed by the GOP’s “That’s not how I would have said it” response has me flabbergasted by my fellowman. I’ve been trying to sum up my thoughts with regards to this happening a week prior to International Women’s Day but Jon Stewart beat me to the punch.

Vodpod videos no longer available.
