"I Coulda Been a Contender"

That quote isn't from "Rocky," (it's from "On the Waterfront"), but "Is this place open to everybody or just the general public?" is. I'm holed up in the rec room with my b*tches, Lorian and Brenna, watching the dreadful "Rocky" marathon on the even worse, testosterone-fueled "Spike" network. I'm just here for the company and companionship. Here are some Borat quotes:

Borat: "What kind of dog is this?
Zookeeper: "It's a tortoise."
Borat: "Is it a cat in a hat?"
Zookeeper: "No, it's a tortoise in a shell."

Borat: "What's up, vanilla face?"

Borat (referring to Azamat in costume): "I did not come to California to fight with a man dressed as Hitler."

Azamat: "We should go back to New York. At least there are no Jews there."

Borat (to American rodeo audience): "We support your war of terror."

Borat (to woman with garage sale): "Gypsy! Give me your tears! If you will not give them to me, I will take them from you!"

Man (at Fine Dining Society): "I'm recently retired."
Borat: "You are a retard?"
Man: "Uh... yes."
Borat: Physical or mental?
Man's wife (Fine Dining Society): "'Retired.'"
Man: "RETIRED! I don't work anymore."
Man's wife: "...stopped work."
Man: "STOPPED WORKING!"
Borat (quietly, to host): "Is very good you allow retard to uh...attend... (mumbles)"

"Kazakhstan is more civilised now. Women can now travel on inside of bus, and homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hat." --Borat, in "Da Ali G Show"

"Women like movies where one person dies slowly. Men like movies where many people die quickly." --Dr. W

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out...

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where...
