Welcome Home Bag of Weed!

Check out this article about the upcoming marijuana initiative in Denver. Let me just say that to me, this is long overdue. I don't think that it will pass, but I really wish it would. The reasons for keeping marijuana illegal have nothing to do with protecting our health, the youth, keeping the streets safe etc. It's about what is considered morally ok by the religious right. Why is alcohol legal? It is one of the biggest killers in the world. But Jesus drank wine so it's all good right? Yeah, well all I'm saying is that I bet Jesus was down with the herbal love too. Was he 'talking to God' or was he just stoned out of his mind? I'm just saying! You don't need to keep people safe from stoners...Give me a break. IF you get someone who is high to get off the couch and leave the house (and that is a BIG if) they aren't going to get violent like someone who is drunk will. Fighting is way too heavy when you're stoned... The last thing you want to ruin your high is drama. I've talked before about the wonderful trip to Amsterdam that my friends and I took last summer, but we really did learn so much from our time there. Yes, we went there because we smoke, and to smokers Amsterdam is kinda like the Motherland. Obviously that is one of the things that city is known for, but what struck me when I was there is how much of a non-issue it was. Even for us, after we got over the initial shock of being able to go somewhere and smoke in public, we got over it. We didn't spend the whole trip going from one shop to another... Far from it. The point I'm trying to make is that you can look at a city where marijuana is a part of their culture and see how it has effected the city. Amsterdam is not about marijuana. Not once did we see anyone fight or even use a loud tone of voice. We did not see swarms of homeless people who's lives were ruined by getting to smoke pot all they want. We did not see anarchy in the streets. One of the things we have to get over, as Americans, is thinking that we always know best. In Amsterdam all are welcome and accepted. They put the responsibility where it should be... With the individual. Everyone there was so nice and easy going, and as long as your not causing problems THEY MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS! It was so refreshing. I believe that Americans can handle taking care of themselves, and that includes deciding if you would rather have a joint than a martini! Tax it and regulate it just like we do with alcohol, that's fine. We just need to get to the point where we acknowledge that marijuana is NOT the same as Heroin, and that it is less bad than alcohol which is everywhere you go and ruins lives every single day. So, if we don't care if people drink themselves into a grave, or smoke enough to get lung cancer, then why do we care if someone smokes a bowl? It is the same thing. Freedom of choice belongs to the individual. Besides, without pot, The People's Republic of Boulder (seriously, Boulder is like it's own country. Boulder is to Colorado what Quebec is to Canada.) would not be the crazy, tree-hugging, environmental-police-having, party, granola-lovin' place that it is today. That is a fact. So, vote Pro-Boulder! (eww...that was hard to even type...Boulder makes me gag a little.)
Also, think about the restaurant industry boom that would happen if weed was legal! Seriously, The Wet Spot would never have closed down if weed had been legal. (Colorado specific joke...sorry about that. The wet spot is a nickname for this crazy and kinda nasty diner that used to be open in downtown denver.) K...I gotta go now, I wanna smoke after all this talking about it. : ) L.Y.L.A.S.!

My sweet baby in one his Versace adds. mmmmmm..... I love Versace.  

What's the difference between an apple?

When I got online tonight I started up the media player, put it on shuffle, and I've heard so many songs I haven't heard in a long time. I love that music can remind you of the past. You hear a song and you can remember a particular time in your life, or a particular person. Some memories are like watching it on tv. Like it's someone else's memory that I'm seeing. Then there are some memories that are so strong. You can close your eyes and remember what the moment felt, smelled and sounded like. I love that. Here are a couple of my favorites.

The Day the World Went Away

I listen to the words he'd say
But in his voice I heard decay
The plastic face forced to portray
All the insides left cold and gray
There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear, it eats the pain
The sweetest price he'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away

Kayleigh

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair
By the way didn’t I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine

Kayleigh is it too late to say I’m sorry?
And kayleigh could we get it together again?
I just can’t go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh I never thought I’d miss you
And kayleigh I thought that we’d always be friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars
Do you remember loving on the floor in belsize park
Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow
Do you remember you never understood I had to go
By the way, didn’t I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine

Kayleigh I just wanna say I’m sorry
But kayleigh I’m too scared to pick up the phone
To hear you’ve found another lover to patch up our broken home
Kayleigh I’m still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh it’s more important to me now you’re gone
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or ever prove that I was wrong

Marillion


...and by the way, what is the difference between an apple? A bike with two tires and a vest with no sleeves.

"I didn't come here to learn how to be simple." Filthy Rich Cattle Drive

Wow, it's been a busy week. So, first of all you'll notice the new blog name and address. Turns out, someone in my family (90% sure) found my blog! AAGH! Needless to say there was lots in here that I would prefer my family not see (insert my friend Jake saying "I told you so" here.) So in the first "Oh my God!" out-of-body moment I first deleted all the bad posts. Then, once blood was once again reaching my head, I thought I would move it instead and change the name. So, did that. check. So, now that we're here I just have to be more careful. I'll still talk about what I want, I just can't use any names that can be Googled (stupid!!). So, welcome to my nooks and crannys. Is that even how you spell 'cranny'?

So I've made a new reality show discovery! Filthy Rich Cattle Drive is one of the funniest shows ever! Watching a group of socialite cry babies put their arm in a cow's ass....priceless. LOVE IT!! Lou Ferrigno's daughter hates Robert Blake's son and they fight all the time! There's a guy named Fabian.... and he's all upset about the thread count of the sheets at the campsite! HA!! GOOD SHIT! I'M TELLING YOU!! I've also been enjoying Kill Reality. That's a fun show too. It' s like Project Greenlight meets The Real World. It's got all sorts of reality "stars". Fuck...I watch to much reality t.v. ... Damn you reality t.v. ....I love you so!!

EW update: Luke Skywalker's lightsaber auctioned for $200k, and Darth Vader's only went for $118k. (for the record, I would much rather have Darth Vader's); singer Marc Cohn ("Walking in Memphis") who was shot in the head here in Denver during an attempted carjacking was released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, wow that's amazing that he's ok. ; and there are two Harry Potter fans who created a band called Harry and the Potters in Mass. They have already played several dates with their Harry Potter book related songs such as "Save Ginny Weasley" and "The Wrath of Hermione". hmm...interesting.

And finally I just want to make a few quick points on the whole Cindy Sheehan thing.

• As an American she has every right to do what she is doing, agree with it or not.
• It is not disloyal to the troops to say that you don't understand why they are being asked to give up their lives.
• THE PRESIDENT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK FOR US!!! I think while he's on ANOTHER vacation (for 5 weeks!!) he can spare an hour!

That's all I have to say about that right now.

That's all for now dear readers. XOXOXO

Knock Knock...It's Solo calling.

It's time to check my Entertainment Weeklys to see what's up....let's see: For just $2.49 per call Elmo will call your child that "Going to the dentist is fun!" ; Ryan Seacrest is coming out with his own line of t-shirts'; ....give me a break; There is going to be a 3-D smurf movie! Sweet!! just don't include the stupid baby smurf...he ruined the show; Frankie Muniz (Malcolm in the Middle) is engaged....TO BE MARRIED...wow... ; Sandra Bullock and Jesse James finally got married. I met Jesse James once and let me just say...he's FUCKING HOT BUSINESS!! So, congrats to Sandra...enjoy! ; a judge dismissed the $20 million libel suit againtst Michael Moore. The suit was brought on by James Nichols, brother of Terry Nichols, who claimed that Bowling for Columbine inaccurately connected James Nichols to the 1995 bombing. However, the statements made in the documentary were found to be "factual and substantially true" ; and get this, Harrison Ford rode around with UPS in Jackson, WY. to personally deliver Star Wars Trilogy DVD sets to people, to celebrate Amazon's 10th birthday! Can you fucking imagine!? Opening up your door to find Han Solo there to bring you your box set! That would be so tits!

K...I'm done with celebrity news now, nothing can top Solo front door service. So I leave you to talk amongst yourselves. Here, I'll give you a topic:

Would you rather...

Have your breath smell like a bad fart

or

Have your laugh sound like a fart?

I, personally, would choose to have my laugh sound like a fart, because farts are funny so it would just make everyone laugh more. I don't want fart breath! Ewww! What do you choose?
