The times they are a changin'

wow, it's been so long, i don't even know the girl who used that voice. It's incredible how some life experience can make a year and 4 months ago seem like infancy, was i ever really alive till now? Well yes, ha ha but blinded by love and innocence, I'm a bitter old hag now ;-)

So i wanted to start a blog a while ago about the misrepresentation and objectification of women in advertising, and while i could start a new blog there are other things about women and my life as well i want to interject, plus I'm kinda fond of this ol' chap :-) Me and this blog go waaaaayyy back.

So right now I am going to do kinda a brain splooge of the things i am dying to stop twirling around in my brain like a cheesy olympic ribbon dancer and just get out and in the open for my own peace of mind and maybe for discussion if anyone reads the damn thing :-)

Pretty much instead of using facebook for constant status updates no one cares about or posting things i want to elaborate on, I'm using this, people pay attention to facebook because it limits you to short sentences, no real mind spew blog option on there and no one pays attention anyway, all just short spurts of comprehension and frantic page hopping . . . well, let us massage our brains into regaining those longer attention spans that allow us to read books, eat without the TV on, sit still for an hour staring at a river . . . A lot of my inner warrior women (feminist side) has been awakened lately and i love it. I used to think to this extant, a women can do anything a man can, but now, i realize more then that a women does things differently, thinks differently, is built beautifully, I guess i never wanted to admit how different the two are, perhaps because i wished i was a guy for so long (freedom of being a male?) , but i realize ... well obviously with some of theses topics ... we'll get into it :-)

Pretty much comes down to yay for cervixes and asymmetrical labia, saggy boobs and kind souls, strong legs and talented minds, dirty hands and sweating brows, swaying with the moon and grinning to the sun . . .
