How hot is a week in Istanbul...The markets, textiles for days OMG... Of course it is winter there as well, so I guess I'll have to pull out my sexy fur coat for this trip. OKAY...how super romantically hot is a 24 hour layover in Paris with my love? On our way back from Istanbul, we will spend 24 hours gallivanting through Paris. Gee, I always wanted to do one of those super romantic kisses in front of the Eiffel tower.....just like this.
Sigh....yawn... Just once, what a joy it would be to have a dialogue with someone who has something interesting to say. I miss Dromiceous - he always had something intelligent to say. And he would always correct my grammar.
Hey DeDe ? "hey...I'm talkin' d'you" No insults or accusations today? What's wrong? Are you afraid? Why......you're so good at that anonymous thing, I just can't believe that you haven't posted one of those superb and brilliant "DeDe responses".
Ooopsie, that's right- I have your IP tracked. :)

ABOUT ISRAEL
You know, every now and again I come across a snippet of information that just sets me off. Sometimes I just keep the seething anger inside or if I am so inclined, I open my mouth and boy, oh boy - provoking rage in others is not a good idea.
ahhhh... but I'm feeling like a righteous provocateur at the moment - how does one stifle a "right" question or a "right" challenge? Sometimes it's nearly impossible to resist....especially when it comes to human speculation. I can't really comment too much on the Torah, the Bible or the Q'uran (Haven't read them all-contradiction gives me a major migraine)- the hypocrisy of the many meddling "Holymen" is obvious and rather nauseating, to say the least.
Here we go:
1. And God said"........" a) Who is it that said "God said" , yeah okay explain that one - of course no one can. So we're back to faith yet again. Hmmmm. 2. Women? b) Lets see...okay "Humble and holy Israel" - tell me this : Why are women shunned for praying at the "Wall"?..."Jewish orthodoxy held that women's voices must be silent"(http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/WOW.html) Oh kind and holy people, please tell me why you think that this is okay? "A group of approximately one hundred women who attended the conference went to pray at the Kotel, where they were disrupted by verbal and physical assaults by the ultra-Orthodox men and women." (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/WOW.html) c) Don't pretend that women are equal to men, because evidently - they NOT.
3. Where is your humility? c) Feigning humility is really cheap and so is provoked persecution.
So if the US didn't give you Ohhhh about 7 million (holy moley) a day - do you think that God would swoop down and protect the "chosen ones"?....Wait a minute, WHO was it that said that "God said" that you were chosen?
Or would you use that same "...and God said..." stuff in the Torah aka - Old Testament to incur guilt and shame from the world.
Why do you get approximately 7 million dollars a day? Especially when there are people here in this very country losing homes and jobs daily.
Why do we need to keep supporting your country?
For the record, I'm Jewish. This post isn't about being Jewish, it's about a country using the so called "Jew gene" (whatever that might be) to get money and support for reasons that I can't quite get a grip on.
The word of "God" ......from "Who's" perspective?
I wonder if the mysterious "Who" of the Old testament took some Peyote by accident?
After all, we figured out that the oracle of Delphi was actually getting stoned on the gas seeping out of the rocks in her little perch.
How come when I did acid (many, many moons ago) and then hallucinated about God -sure did. How come, I can't add my story to the Bible?
Do we give you 7 million dollars a day so that you can do this:
Do you honestly believe that we will blindly and forevermore support a cause with double standards and hypocrisy? I hate to tell you this but, people (including Jews) are starting to question the integrity of Israel's cause.
Some interesting tidbits that I've picked up, along the way (with the source, BTW):
NOTE: So why in the world would anyone be pissed off about this?
1. (10-05) 04:00 PST Jerusalem -- In Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behavior they consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such "sins" as wearing a red blouse, and attack stores selling devices that can access the Internet....Amy Teibel, Associated Press, Sunday, October 5, 2008 (www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2008/10/04/MN44139JL8.DTL)
2. "123 Israeli children have been killed by Palestinians and 1,050 Palestinian children have been killed by Israelis since September 29, 2000." (source: http://www.rememberthesechildren.org/remember2008.html)
5.“Our position on settlements, I think, has been very consistent, very clear. The secretary expressed it not too long ago. He said settlement activity has severely undermined Palestinian trust and hope, preempts and prejudges the outcome of negotiations, and in doing so, cripples chances for real peace and prosperity. The U.S. has long opposed settlement activity and, consistent with the report of the Mitchell Committee, settlement activity must stop.”Mr. Richard Boucher, U.S. Department of State –Daily Press Briefing -- November 25, 2002(Source: http://www.cmep.org/documents/settlements.htm)
NOTE: HUH?
INTERESTING: 118 BILLION dollar annual bailout to Israel vs. one time 15 or so billion dollar bailout to save the US auto industry.....I smell.............Bullshit!!!!!!
I have decided that although I have an uncanny ability to see very clearly into other people - I still remain massively cluster-fucked, when it comes to me.
Headache (7am) - my head is going to explode!!!!!
I ventured over to the local rec center last night to check out a Kung Fu class. Ahhh yes, I see the many similarities between my beloved Okinawan style karate and Kung Fu. Although, not quite the same cadence - I could feel my blood race with excitement, every time the Sifu would demonstrate a technique that I had done a million times before. There weren't very many students, which was fine...although, I suppose that if I wanted to help (as I have done with so many others), his school would be thriving within six months.
I go to Soke's tonight, I miss him - within the last three months I have felt disconnected.
Drinking is just a social friend thing, I can't do drugs - I just don't have the energy or impetus to engage in any self destructive activities. So I am left with myself and all the other me's. Sigh............. I can guess I can go climb the mountain, like I always do and get a serious oxygen high.
Okay, so this morning I decided to peruse the yahoo blogroll and articles and came upon this article titled............................. "A small PENIS should come with a WARNING label!" Oh My.....as I Hmmmmm-ed to myself,I wonder what cyber-herd has to say today? I mean it was certainly no surprise to me - as I read the endless thread of cliched insults directed towards the writer-predictable and boring.
So Natasha, why bother?
Naturally, my curiosity was piqued by the words "small penis" and "warning label" - Not that I've ever cared all that much about warning labels or penis size, for that matter...(I wonder if I might be lying regarding that statement?)
Needless to say, there were well over 450 comments and when I was done putting my 23 cents in, it hit around 550 within a couple of hours.
I am not going to relay the experience - you can check it out yourselves, if you want ...just click on this here little LINKY button and you shall be whisked off to "A small PENIS should come with a WARNING label!"-land.
Well, the real reason that I'm even mentioning the article/blog (whatever) - is that it has prompted me to get back on my own little blog-let....................
I have missed you little BLOG -I...I...I...have been a very neglectful blog-owner. I'm back and I feel like...uh.... kind of happy.
BTW, I did not delete the Richard Cebek post, there is a link right up in the right corner of my page with a link to Richie's new blog and if you want to post on that blog, let me know and I'll add you to the permissions list.
