Of Cats and Breakfast

Tuesday, April 29th, 2003

Monday was bad.

Bad.

I kept both Darling and myself up for a large portion of the night with my hacking and wheezing, so as soon as the sun was up, he proposed my going to the doctor like, now. That sweet man even called and scheduled an appointment for me – that’s what a honey he is. So, I ran off to clinic bright and early with hopes of antibiotics dancing in my head, only to learn that it was viral.

The Price of Something Free

Monday, April 21st, 2003

“Everybody knows America isn’t easy. America is advanced citizenship.

You gotta want it bad, ’cause it’s gonna put up a fight. It’s gonna say, ‘You want free speech? Let’s see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who’s standing center stage and advocating, at the top of his lungs, that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.

You want to claim this land as the land of the free, then the symbol of your country can’t just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest.’ Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the land of the free.”

-from The American President

That pretty much sums it up.

So, Why?

Friday, April 18th, 2003

Because I need to brag about my good life. I need to write it, and record it so that I may look back in times of need, when my hope is low, and get that reminder of what a fucking fabulous woman I am, and what an incredible life I have.
Because our web host really screwed up our scgi-bin, and I can’t even access my albatross/project/journal at the moment.
Because I fucking rock, and I won’t be pushed out of here without reminding YOU of that.
