Odds & Ends: More Thoughts

I promise to continue with my St. Clare's posts very soon. In fact, I might do one over the weekend. I'm in the mood for covering a few things here quickly. This is all random. It's the way I'm feeling right now because I'm wiped out.
-Legalization of Marijuana: I'm for it. It should be legalized and then tax the living hell out of it. It'll put some slimeballs out of business. The more or less regular people who grow it can work with the government while keeping the organized crime elements out of the game. I don't smoke it. I only smoked pot or hash about 8 times since 1978 on up to about 2000 or 2001-somewhere in there. The last pot I smoked was supposed to be a mellow grade. If it was, the stuff was more pure than I thought because it felt like I got knocked between the eyes from behind. Just like how I was always a lightweight back when I could drink alcohol, I could never handle the THC in the pot.
-Booze: Before my IBS hit (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), I used to be able to have a glass of wine (I preferred red) or a bottle of beer. I was too much of a lightweight to be able to handle much alcohol. Plus, I never really liked the taste of booze too much. My Dad once had me try a creme licquer once and I thought I was going to throw up afterwards. It tasted worse than the worst cough medicine I ever used to have.
-Women/Equal Pay: Women are human beings. I'd like for the Neanderthal politicians of this Country to get off of their asses and make it so that women make equal pay to men. There should be no questions asked.
-Women's Abortion Rights: This is common sense. Don't take away their right to choose. It is utterly stupid that we have moralists out there trying to roll back Roe vs. Wade.
-Prostitution: Legalize it. Then Unionize the ladies and make sure they have health benefits.
-Hands down: Health care in this Country should be Universal. I also think banks and transportation should be nationalized to go with health care. Maybe someday we'll get wise and see that some aspects of Western European Socialism isn't so bad.
-I wish the goddamned medical community could come up with a cure for IBS and Digestive diseases. I miss eating a hell of a lot of food I used to enjoy up to the early '90s before my symptomology developed. I was thinking today, while eating my beans for lunch how much I wish I could go over to Fall Creek Bakery on campus ( provided if it's still there) and snarf down 2 ham and cheese croissants back in the days when my dear friend (whom I had a crush on) Diane and I used to go to Oregon. I would have loved to have knocked it back with a glass of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice. Now all I drink it Crystal Geyser bottled water. I am fortunate in that I am about to go and eat at Chili's and have my bacon cheeseburger (dry-no lettuce, no oinions-medium) and fries to go with my water I'll carry in with me.
-I wish Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, George Bush, Geln Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Conservative Democrats who voted against the Health Bill, all of the Tea-Party Republicans and the vast majority of Republicans and their ilk would fall into a hole and never come out.
I think President Obama is basically a good President. His biggest mistake is in letting Timothy Geithner run the Treasury. Plus, he's been acting the good guy attempting to reconcile with the Republicans. It's obvious the Republicans don't want to compromise on anything because of the fact that the conservative elements of the party are using too much influence to sway opinion among the party itself. Well, Obama needs to stop and start ramming a few things down the throats of the Republicans.
-I wish I wasn't so physically tired so much. The days that I work out at the health club are the worst. I'll be very wiped out shortly after I have breakfast and lunch. There are some weights at the club that you would be surprised as to how much I'm doing.
On the days that I'm not at the club, I can still be tired, but my IBS doesn't allow me to eat all that much. So I'm pretty much stuck.
-Help from female inspiration would be greatly appreciated. I'd snap out of it for a couple of hours-like those times I went to Nevada.
I think I should go and get ready for my dinner tonight. I have to do a few things before I get there. I wish I could hang out with the mockingbirds in the backyard of Camino Drive again and listen to them singing and watch them diving about off of the wires from the power lines/telephone poles. I wish I could be wrapped up in the arms of a beautiful woman right now.
All My Love,
Steve
