Ugh, even though I'm working at home and don't have to face traffic, I still don't care for Mondays, LOL, I guess I want it to be Saturday all the time.
At least you don’t have people in China forcing you to stay late and work. If I don’t do that they are threatening to submit complaints that I’m “non cooperative” to management.

Well, I came back to Virginia just in time to have a high today of 93. Also, I’m participating in the March on Washington on Friday and 91 is forecast as a high. Hopefully, after that Summer will calm down.
Also, from my trip, Oakland is majorly underrated. Yes, it does have some issues with cleanliness but the history, street art, and downtown area make it stand out.

Here in Colorado Springs, we've got these megachurches. Anybody remember Ted Haggard? Got busted with a male prostitute, high on meth? Had to leave the area in disgrace? Yeah, now he's back and he started yet another church in his basement. I have a friend who was in a very small local band and they made a song about this, it's hilarious. Sadly, I cannot find a video of it. I wish that I had one. I'll ask him to give me the lyrics to the chorus sometime soon, I can only remember part of it...something about how the baby Jesus doesn't want him to be gay, the wage of sin is death, ending with "but tonight we're gonna party with crystal meth"...it's all very clever.
Also, a friend was approached online by a couple who wanted her for a threesome, and told her but she must be very discreet, because the wife worked in one of these big church orgs here in town and if they found out... Yeah, my friend, she would have been down with the sexual escapade but not seasoned with that much hypocrisy. Yuck.
These things go together in some pretty weird ways. I've found that most seriously repressed people either turn into authoritarian bullies who totally bought what they are now selling, or they become complete freaks, and the worst is when they try to do both at once. I mean, I don't know how many times I've met some woman with purple hair and piercings and tattoos who is a middle aged "witch" now, but she went to Catholic school, because of course she did. If I had a dollar for every time... So some of 'em just go live on the wild side, at peace with whatever weird they cooked up after religion traumatized them (or what the heck ever is going on there.) But it's the ones trying too hard to have it both ways, where we get this mess going on. At least that's how I see it.
I got my friend to send me over an mp3 of the song I was talking about...the lyrics that I couldn't remember were:
Poor ol' Reverend Ted, it's a struggle every day
I know you think baby Jesus doesn't want you to be gay
Fire and brimstone Sunday mornin' the wage of sin is death
But Saturday night Ted & Mikey, you're gonna party with crystal meth
I just took a quick forray into the Politics forum... Yikes!
Lol, it's been called vicious and dog-eat-dog, but to me it's just that so many posters act childish and immature with all the taunting and name-calling, or are completely laughable trolls.
