Hi Steve,
Yeah so it's Friday, yayyyy, I hope you have some fun stuff planned for the weekend. I've been baking cupcakes, raspberry cheesecake bars, and making chocolate covered strawberries for our party tomorrow night. I have also been cleaning the house and doing laundry. Oh, and I got groceries too. I'm rather pooped.
But all day long I have been trying to avoid this thought, about everyone in the US being sucked into some kind of bizarre mass hysteria, and how it's really becoming an epidemic of chaos and stupidity. Everywhere you look, there's some freaky weird thing going on, have you noticed that? Or is it just me? Maybe my rose colored glasses are a little fogged. I just look around at news stories and headlines, and wonder what the hell happened to people?
It gets me down. A 29 year old pregnant woman finds out her baby is going to die, so she opts to have an abortion at 33 weeks. Unfortunately, she also dies during the procedure. So now all the anti-abortion groups have somehow gotten hold of her face, her medical records, and are using her medical information to protest her funeral. Here is the story:

Then there's this....John McCain admits Republicans put grudges ahead of national security in Hagel filibuster. Unbelievably ridiculous and outrageous. But, there it is.

Then Wisconsin decides to get in on the hysteria....with this little gem: Forcing women to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds.

Then, add this to the mix: (my step-son posted this one on Facebook). My reply was, "why won't Republicans trust women with their own reproductive rights? Their own vagina's? They'll give a woman a gun to go and kill somebody, but they won't allow her to make decisions about her own body. It's all messed up!"
Nothing makes any damned sense anymore.
Why is there a war on women?! Would somebody please explain this bizarre hatred to me?
Only Republicans hate women, apparently, based on this meme:
I really just don't get it. Women give life, but the men seem to hate them for it. They'd rather give women guns to shoot people with, than allow them to make their own reproductive decision of whether or not to have an abortion.
Does that make ANY GODDAMNED SENSE?!!
(sorry, pardon my expletives).
NO!!! IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL!!!!
Add to all this the whole political mess with the GOP obstructing everything they possibly can to hinder progress, not allowing the President to DO HIS JOB. It is just blatant racism. How DARE a black man make those white guys all look like idiots, and get more done in 4 years than they ever could?! Just blatant racism, that's all it is. Here is a story that pretty much sums it up as racism too:
President Obama’s call for a minimum wage increase in Tuesday’s State of the Union address — like nearly all of his proposals — was met with immediate opposition from Congressional Republicans. But six years ago, many of the same Republicans supported a similar proposal backed by Republican President George W. Bush.
It's all just fucking ridiculous. It's just RACISM, right in everybody's FACE, yet NO ONE wants to admit it. Hate groups have tripled in number since Obama took the Presidency, too. Why do so many people---mostly MEN----hate so much??
This whole world is just increasingly becoming fucking ridiculous all around us, every damned day, and frankly I am fed up with it.
These are just some of the examples of headlines that happen in one given day, that I have been reading lately. There are dozens more, but I won't bore you with more insane BS. The point is, why the HELL are people suddenly all FUBAR?! (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition). Believe me, I have lived in Fubar City for 10 years, (DC), and I've seen it up close and personal...so I totally understand that concept of Fubar very well.
My theory: It seems like there is some kind of mass hysteria going on. I mean, the world has always been crazy to some extent, perhaps, but lately it just seems to be spiraling out of control. Maybe it has something to do with that meteor that crashed in Russia today, injuring 1,000 people? Something in the cosmos is not happy with the way the world is going, apparently. So it hurled a huge rock at us. It's possible.
Who the hell knows. But, this downward spiral of mankind that we are all living in, seems to be sinking to new depths for some reason. Is it something in the air that we're all breathing, slowly poisoning people, and making them really stupid all of a sudden? Something in the water? Can we blame it on pollution? Toxins? Chemical imbalances? Can we just blame it all on Ted Nugent? (PLEASE?!) We need a scapegoat, and he's ripe for the pickin'. All those in favor, say AYE!!!
Sigh. Today is one of those "carrying the whole world on my shoulders" days. I thought perhaps my Welbutrin and my new Zoloft "Happy" pills would help that pesky problem fade away from my consciousness, but it really hasn't. I've been doomed all my life with this chronic "save the world" syndrome, and frankly it annoys the hell out of me. Why do I give a shit, when nobody else does? Why am I the one sitting here worried about the world and all the problems going on, when most everyone else is binging on hedonistic pursuits, burying their heads in the sand?
Well, I know that there are lots of people like me, actually. I am not the only one. Some days I FEEL like I'm the only one, though.
Yes, I know, I know....I think too damned much. I've been told that many times in my life, by many people. It's nothing new. I just want to stand up on a huge Empire State Building sized soap box and yell at the top of my lungs for the entire world to hear, "STOP ALL OF THIS NEGATIVE SHIT RIGHT NOW AND GET BACK TO BEING HUMANE TOWARDS EACH OTHER."
Ya know? I'd like to somehow smack everybody upside the head and make them happy again. Because it is obvious to me that more and more people are so horribly and tragically UNHAPPY that they are taking it out on anyone and everyone in their paths. Hence, all the shootings going on all the time. Even 2 fifth grade boys were arrested today for plotting to KILL a female classmate of theirs. There is something totally messed up with that, ya know?? Why are so many people angry at young kids, to go into a school and shoot them like Newtown? What did they ever do to deserve that??
I just don't understand this world anymore.
Soooooo, to alleviate my brain-fog of dealing with the entire world's problems, I'm going to get my ass beat this weekend, at our BDSM party. Haleluyah. Ya know, it might sound strange, but getting a spanking---with a hand, or any other implement---actually HELPS me keep my head on straight. When I get overwhelmed (as I am today), having that spanking really does help me to focus and feel that all is once again right in the world, and I can once again function as a productive human. I don't know WHY that is, but it just is, for me. I need them. And, I would probably lose my marbles without 'em.
Well, have a nice weekend.....despite all this negativity.....and for CRIPES' SAKE man, don't get a damned face lift!! Don't ruin the ONE THING ON THIS PLANET that I've always loved...your face. Or the one thing that has given me comfort during tough times in my life...your voice. Because, frankly Stephen, if I lose you and the comfort that you soothe me with whenever you sing, I would die inside. (I've died a lot inside in my life as it is....don't make it happen again by wrecking your face)!!
Love, Rebecca
