A bit about me

Meme Time
I'm lifting this from earth2karen who pilfered it from Sassy and Tina:
*
I am: Trying to restructure my life patterns.
*
I think: I should have left work on time yesterday to mow the lawn.
*
I know: Jesus loves stupid people.
*
I want: Immortality.
*
I have: Very tolerant friends.
*
I wish: I had more energy
*
I hate: And can’t forgive the boys that mugged and raped me when I was 12. They challenge my prejudice everyday.
*
I miss: Andrew
*
I fear: Black cars on I-64. I wonder if I’m going to get shot at again.
*
I hear: That the 2008 Presidential Election is right around the corner. You’d think that the news would report on that a little bit more.
*
I smell: Smoke…. Oh, that’s me.
*
I crave: Carbohydrates, damn it.
*
I seek: To know the blonde guy at work a bit better.
*
I wonder: If the blonde guy at work digs dudes.
*
I regret: Trying to burn a house down when I was a teenager. I also, oddly, regret failing.
*
I love: My dog.
*
I ache: At my left shoulder and left hip. I don’t care if the x-rays came back negative. I know something’s not right.
*
I was not: Guilty of pelting the substitute high school music teacher with an acorn. It was probably Obama.
*
I’m not: A Barack Obama follower.
*
I cry: When I watch the Color Purple.
*
I believe: That children are our future… oh please! shyeah right!
*
I dance: Unexpectedly, anyplace. Just to make you giggle.
*
I sing: Similar to how I dance.
*
I read: And write all day long and come home and do more of the same.
*
I don't: Have a significant other.
*
I fight: More intelligently now that I’m older.
*
I write: And read all day long and come home and do more of the same.
*
I win: When luck is on my side.
*
I lose: Cause I’m best friends with Murphy.
*
I never: …Oh yes I do.
*
I always: …and often do.
*
I confuse: My co-worker on purpose.
*
I listen: But you do not hear.
*
I’m found: At work or at home and often at friends.
*
I’m scared: Of heights.
*
I need: A lovah with a slow hand…
*
I’m happy: Most of the time since age has mellowed me.

It's entirely possible you support discriminatory actions. If so, please feel free to check the X Box. This post is about supporting an effort impacting change and it's not even about the Presidential Election. You have a unique opportunity to have your voice heard. There is an upcoming manager's meeting at American Family Fitness that may actually discuss Gay Marriage/Domestic Partner Benefit packages. Refer to this POST if you do not recall me speaking about it the recent past. I'm not asking that you write a letter the size of a novel. A quick note to management and the CEO will suffice. Even if it simply says: AFF Domestic Partner Benefits package - Make it Happen! They will get the point. So here's your opportunity. Copy/paste the following email list and send off a message of support. Thank you.

If you're a visitor to earth2karen you have seen her Chewbacca FACEinHole.com picture. Well I was wanting to play around with it too, but I don't or didn't think I had a pic of my face. I know, how can I not? Well, YOU may live in the 21st Century but I'm a bit baroque. So, in keeping with the Baroque theme, I found this Face in Hole that I wanted to use and I found a softcopy of a pic of me. Weeeee !!!!

Do you think I'm sexy baby?

WRVQ - Q94

Thank you Q94

You have made things "right" in the universe.

Reader's, several blogs ago I asked for your assistance to share your point of view with Melissa & Sid of Q94's morning show. This issue was over their "Go Gay In L.A." promotion. The winners, Karen and Joanne of earth2karen were elated, but soon found themselves in the middle of less than pleasant circumstances. I requested that you read their blog. I didn't want to put thoughts into your head. Though in retrospect, it did convey a "bitch" message was necessary. But then again I did believe that some fire under their butts was warranted. By "their" - I don't mean Melissa & Sid, so much as the radio station's management. But as the front-people that always want to know what your thinking - I figure Melissa & Sid are easy targets.

*

Melissa & Sid - Having read Karen's recent blog and understanding that Karen and Joanne are completely happy with how you and management have rectified the matter - I would like to say Thank You. I would also like to thank you for reading my long winded email. I assume that you and management read it.

*

Readers - I now request that you extend the same "thank you" to Melissa & Sid. They play you music in the morning and make you smile on your way to your second home. And it's the right thing to do.

*

Karen and Joanne - Congratulations! You're getting married !!! Can Kelly and Jeff be your bridesmaids?

*

Q94 - Please stop playing Wyclef Jean's "Dollah bill ya'll" so much. OMG Please!!!! Susan Powter says "STOP THE INSANITY."

Share YOUR voice: Q94

The root of this post is based in a couple's decision to get married. You have no doubt heard that the fine state of California has legalized same-sex marriages. Have whatever thoughts you want about this issue. But, I personally will be counted as a supporter. The actual topic of this blog is about something entirely different. It's about - integrity. I will let you make your decision about how to respond. But I do ask that you voice your opinion. As my blog title states, "Can't Never Could Do Nothing." And I stand for doing something when that something is the right thing to do. I trust you will act accordingly, or at least I hope so.

♀

WRVQ - Q94 Radio Station in Richmond, Virginia held a contest called "Go Gay In L.A." Rather than influence you one way or another, I will ask that you visit this blog: earth2karen. Please begin reading at May 19, 2008 and work backward to understand what happened. I have shared my viewpoint with Karen, Melissa & Sid of Q94, and Q94 Management.

♀

Once you have read the entire fiasco, please let Melissa and Sid know what you think!

Contact Melissa & Sid at:

• MelissaChase@Q94radio.com, and
• SID@Q94radio.com

*For Karen and Joanne - two women that I don't even know.
