We were doomed from the start
As lovers are
Why am I doing this?

Digging my own grave
and though shallow
I would lie in it

I was checking out this website with a bunch of old VHS covers that probably didn't make it to DVD, and man, oh, man, did this one have me cracking up:

Gary. Fucking. Busey.

Read that shit. GARY BUSEY. Did you ever imagine he could even look like that!? I couldn't, especially when this is seared into my brain:

In fact, go google-image search Gary Busey. I'll wait.

Oh, 420

I FUCKING LOVE JESSE LACEY.

Today I must accept the fact that I am a total fucking girl.

2009-04-16T19:12:26Z

I felt my knees go weak the second the vibrations of the sexiest australian accent ever hit my ears. Jesus. The impact of the level of arousal was almost as severe as the crick in my neck from trying to subtly turn my head to catch a glimpse of the voice's owner. At the same time, I was battling to rationalize that I was, in fact, being a total idiot by letting such a superficial detail affect me in such a way, but I gave up and instead accepted the fact that I simply enjoyed being around it.

Girls are fucking weird.

FUCK!

2009-04-10T01:02:27Z

I feel like gouging my fucking eyes out.

Major Speech #1: Hope for Hemp

2009-03-10T22:31:15Z

I.   On February 23, 2009 I witnessed both my text and e-mail inboxes become flooded with messages imploring me to contact my local representative in either support or opposition of newly introduced legislation that would tax marijuana similarly to alcohol. The purpose of this speech is to provide citizens with a comprehensive background of what they are voting on. First, I will introduce the man mainly responsible for the prohibition and give examples of the propaganda used for prohibition. Second, I shall present the major supporters of such a bill and what personal interest each held in getting it passed. Finally, I shall speak about the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 and its opposition. The history of marijuana legislation is an important factor to consider when making a decision to overtune years of misconceptions.
II. A. The origin of marijuana prohibition can be traced back to one man: Henry J. Aslinger.
        1. Henry J. Aslinger was given control of the newly made Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930, when he swiftly began his battle against marijuana as a way to further his political career.
        2. He drew upon documents such as the "Gore Files" to promote prohibition.
            a. These were tales of the sex, murder, mayhem, and "horrendous" interracial relations marijuana allegedly caused.
            b. In relation to the Gore Files, he was quoted saying, "There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are [Blacks], Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with [Blacks], entertainers, and any others."
      B. Aslinger was also aided by William Randolph Hearst and various pharmaceutical companies, specifically Dupont chemical company.
             1. Hearst was the owner of multiple newspaper chains (such as the New York Journal) whose stock in the timber/paper companies was threatened by the production of hemp paper.
             2. Hearst avidly hated hated Mexicans and often published lucrative tales of violence supposedly caused by Mexicans while high.
                    a. An excerpt from one of Hearst's publications: "Was it marijuana, the new Mexican drug, that nerved the murderous arm of Clara Phillips when she hammered out her victim's life in Los Angeles?...THREE-FOURTHS OF THE CRIMES of violence in this country today are committed by DOPE SLAVES -- that is a matter of cold record."
                    b. Because of this, people came to associate the term Marijuana with Mexicans smoking a drug rather than the plant itself, a misconception that helped the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.
              3. Dupont patented nylon and wanted to eliminate hemp as competition.
              4. Pharmaceutical companies would be unable to regulate marijuana and therefore make no profit.
          C. Aslinger's Tax Act of 1937 passed despite opposition by the American Medical Association.
               1. Dr. William C. Woodward, the head of the AMA, contested that they had no medical evidence to pass a bill with such a large effect.
                     a. Woodward pointed out that there were no representatives from any of the supposedly affected bureaus such as Education, Prison, Treasury or the Public Health Service.
                   b. He also told the lawmakers that any inquiry into Office of Education revealed that they knew nothing of the raging addiction children were being said to suffer from.
                2. He also reproached the Bureau and Legislation for utilizing the term Marijuana instead of Cannabis as a way of playing on people's sympathies.
                   a. The fact that people associated the word marijuana with the violent stories they read in the newspapers meant that those who really had a reason to oppose the bill ended up supporting it.

b. He stated, "The bureau of Public Health Service has also a division of pharmacology. If you desire evidence as to the pharmacology of Cannabis, that obviously is the place where you can get direct and primary evidence, rather than the indirect hearsay evidence.
[ref: Why is Marijuana Illegal? http://marijuana.drugwarrant.com]

III. Now, technically the first law concerning marijuana in what is currently the United States was enacted in 1619 in Jamestown, Virginia; it required all farmers to grow hemp. This is because hemp is simply marijuana with little to no THC and has been used rope, clothing, and medicine for thousands of years. According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (otherwise known as NORML) hemp is currently utilized in over 30 nations to produce textiles, paper, paints, clothing, plastics, cosmetics, foodstuffs, insulation, animal feed and many other products. Hemp's versatility and benefits were ignored when Anslinger began his war on marijuana, aided by racism, slander, and corporate greed. He also ignored the credibility of the American Medical Association who openly opposed prohibition. The are items to think about when we are asked in all seriousness whether or not we should legalize weed. Corrupt politicians and their propaganda should not rule the people, are you above their influence?

I totally just presented that in class. ^_^

I WATCH THE WATCHMEN, BWA HA HA >:}

2009-03-10T19:17:24Z

Hmm, I am having a magnificent day and hope the rest of it is equally enjoyable. I also saw the Watchmen and it kicked ass. Well, there were issues (idiotic females), but Silk Spectre isn't really a strong character to begin with, so wtvs. And the sex scene. I didn't mind the nudity or just how graphic it all was, but it was way too long. The opening montage and soundtrack totally made up for it though. ^_^

Also, I keep thinking I hear my phone ringing when it isn't (which is actually normal for most people by now), the problem is, I have my ringtone set to Bullfrog (yeah, that's exactly what it sounds like), so now I hear ribbetribbet everywhere. >____<

It's a good thing it's ridiculously amusing.

last weekend still lingers on my mind.

2009-03-05T08:20:36Z

I think way too much. It tends to impede and complicate my life to an endless extent. I'm always wondering, pondering, and contemplating a variety of memories, ideas, sudden realizations, possible situations, and daydreams drenched in ridiculous vocabulary words. It's kind of stressful at times, and I worry way too much, but it does have its benefits. Regardless, I've grown accustomed and am mastering the art of dissipitating the bullshit and chilling the fuck out.

It's going pretty well.
