Just in case you were wondering where the Adventures of Jessica Sideways went, when you will get your next post and what the hell happened to me, you can stop worrying now. I am having my surgery in Thailand and given the fact that I have to be flat on my back for the next few weeks, I will have very little to do other than blog and go do my checkups at Dr. Pichet’s office. So, what I plan to do is I plan to create a page about having SRS in Thailand, how my experience went, et cetera. I also plan to comment on my healing progress on Twitter and post some of my Thailand photos onto Flickr (not my vaginoplasty photos, sorry boys, no photos for this surgery). But with the free time I have not visiting temples or the Weekend Market to get some nice little trinkets to remind me of my trip to Thailand, I will have a lot of time to design my new wordpress blog that I am planning to transition this blog into.

Dating sucks. Seriously, there is nothing I regard with more contempt than dating, simply because it is the most awkward, most uncomfortable experience in the world and there are no guarantees that it could turn out to be successful. I have dated people that seem like they have walked straight out of the pits of hell. Some people have been completely close-lipped about some of their undesirable qualities that may make me reconsider a relationship with that person and some have been so open, it is really frightening. I was browsing the shelves at Barnes & Noble, since sometimes they have interesting books that the Tattered Cover or other Indie bookstore do not have (but they can order them) and I ran across a book called “Dating Makes You Want to Die: But You Have to Do It Anyway” by Daniel Holloway and Dorothy Robinson. *thinks to self for a moment* I think that sums up my dating life fairly well, to be honest. I am, at this moment, single and my last date was with this guy 13 years older than me who was very crazy and I guess I must be for dating the fucker. So, what the hell is going on, why can’t I find a rational, sane guy who wants a long-term relationship and why have I found these dumb fuckers? Continue reading ‘I Hate Dating’
Today, while I was trying to write a few things out and suffering from a serious case of writer’s block (it happens), I was surfing on the net and went to the White House website. I came across this post in President Obama’s blog about signing a memorandum requiring gay and lesbian partners of employees in the Foreign Service to receive the same benefits as spouses of other employees in the Foreign Service. I must say that this is a very important thing as I know what it is like to have to support another person with only one income in a foreign country, as well as to finance their transport. Gay and lesbian members of the foreign service have to pay this cost when they work abroad and they cannot get any sort of reimbursement from this country for their partner’s expenses. Or they would have to suffer the trials of a long distance relationship until they finally return to the United States, which could be difficult given the importance of their work. But this small, but significant, act demonstrates Obama’s continued commitment to the LGBT community and also makes me think that we should cut Obama a little more slack. In this post, I list the reasons why I think that Obama is doing the best job he can, considering all the circumstances and while we should remember and hold him to his promises during his campaign, we should also understand the nature of the beast he is working with.

Today, in the Denver Post, I read an article about several signs that bash Governor Ritter just outside of Castle Rock & Colorado Springs. And of course, like the worms they are, the state and local level Republican party denies ever posting the signs on anyone’s property. And of course, these signs are posted on private properties without the permission of the land owners and have failed to honour requests to take the signs down. The signs say things such as “Why does Ritter hate Douglas County?” but they fail to answer the question “Why do we hate Douglas County landowners enough to erect ugly-ass signs on their property?”. Some of the property owners know who placed the signs there and have received promises to take them down that have never been honoured. Republicans being unable to honour promises?!? Why, that is so unusual, like the sky being blue or the mountains staying in the exact same spot today as they were yesterday. Continue reading ‘Rural Colorado Republicans Deny The Truth, As Usual’
Christians love to cherry pick their scripture, this much is apparent by just listening to them talk or bringing up the death and destruction that their god threatens to rain down on the world. But there are Christian groups out there that take cherry picking too far and use the bible to justify malicious actions against people who do not agree with their doctrine. Why do I bring this up today of all days, my reader, when it is so obvious that Christians enjoy cherry picking any time, any where? Well, recently, an abortion doctor was brutally slaughtered in his church by a crazy Christian gunman. And of course, he was an active participant in anti-abortion websites and since there is no secular reason to ban abortion, we must assume that he is a religious man. Of course, despite the fact that the god of his bible loves to abort little babies and has said in his ten commandments “thou shalt not kill”, he ignores all that for the chance at a blood bath like the good little soldier he is.
