An Inconvenient Truth

This dude rocks...just-a-sayin'.



So I had a hot ass date tonight. My husband is outta town, I was feelin' lonely and frisky so I ventured out on the town with my good buddy Neal. He ditched his old lady and we rendezvoused at The Mission to see "An Inconvenient Truth", Al Gore's flick. Let me just tell you, it rocked me.

First I shall tell you about The Mission. I had never been there. It was very relaxing and comfortable. You get to chill and drink kick ass microbrew or any other spirit of your choice AND knosh on fine foods, all while watching your film of choice. Ingenious I must say.

Now the movie...

Brilliant I tell you. If you were not sure about global warming before, you will be after watching this. Fuck politics. This is not a political issue, it is a moral issue. "It is difficult for a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. - Upton Sinclair" That is the only reason someone would say global warming is a "liberal myth". That or their blind sheep-like robot partisan bullshit beliefs. That kind of thinking is what got us here. THE PROOF IS DISPLAYED RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES. There is no denying it.

Please. You MUST see this. I am begging you.

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising.

The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence.1 The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.

We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.

The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years.

Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level.

The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has more than doubled over the past decade.

At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.

If the warming continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences.

Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years -- to 300,000 people a year.

Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide.

Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense.

Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.

The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050.

More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.

There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral obligation to do so. Small changes to your daily routine can add up to big differences in helping to stop global warming. The time to come together to solve this problem is now –
TAKE ACTION.

Thanks for listening...

Tik Tok Tik Tok...

Good Gravy. 2 months until Christmas...


Where does the time go? I feel like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. "I'm late! I'm late!" Being a super chronic procrastinator makes it much worse. I feel like I am running out of time but I can't get going. I am just...existing. I am working on a recording project (vinyl to disc) for a friend. I am working on a HUGE baby shower for Hoo Ha. I have been dealing with BULLSHIT regarding my scooter lift in my van. I overdrafted my bank account an un-Godly embarassing number of times for the first time in years. That was devestating. I had a bonefide anxiety attack complete with a case of shingles and chest pains. I am prone to those beauties when things get dicey. They did not dissapoint this time. I had to borrow money to cover my ass and I haven't had to do that in years either. That hurt. I have been dealing with the stress of my better 1/2 being out of town 5 days/nights a week for work. Top it all off with the fact that I haven't lost a pound since last I saw my Lung Transplant Dr. & I have to go see him in 3 weeks or so. I was supposed to make a significant dent in the 50lbs. I need to loose. If I don't loose it, they can't help me when I decline. It is my fault, I have nobody to blame. My laziness and apathy could be my demise...oops, my bad. All of these things add up and I find myself in a funk of sorts.

This sucks. It is my favorite time of year. I want to be excited, but I hate what I have become. I don't eat like I should. I don't exercise anymore. I am such a fool. I start to get motivated and then something happens. I have an excuse or a reason/event for every set back. It fucking sucks. I suck! My dog still loves me though! Ah, I'm just so sick & tired of being sick & tired. I don't want to let down the people that love me. They are in the dark. Meaning they don't help the situation. They enable me, they want to believe I will hold steady and not decline. They are in denial you could say. Who am I to burst their bubbles? I need to take responsibilty for my life and get my self where I need to be. I just wish I didn't feel alone in my fight. I don't say that to make my friends and family that read my blog feel bad mind you. I have support and people to talk to. I know I am VERY MUCH LOVED.

I am just afraid of being loved to death...


Bottomline is though it is my life, my responsibility and I need to get busy livin'.

For HooHa...

I am tired of your e-mailed threats. Stop stalking me.

OK so HooHa is my little sister. She has been whining cause I haven't posted since Seattle. I got lotsa pics and video I still need to post, but I have been busy with other stuff and stuff. So until I get my shit together and post about my tripS this little post is going to have to tide you over. (I went to the beach last weekend and had no internet really so I also need to post about that.) ANYWAYZzzz tonight before I hit the sack, I need to make a quick post for my whiney little sister. Please keep in mind the poor kid has to get up at 3A.M. to start work at 4:30. Ain't that some bullshit. Thats what time I friggin' go to bed! She gets bored at work so she logs on here to see whats new with me and cause I'm so god damned funny.



My sister has become my best friend you could say. We used to fight alot as kids, but we grew out of that noise. Don't get me wrong, she can still piss me off and I know there are things I can only say to her cause I know she will always forgive me. It is that kind of unconditional love that makes her so special to me. She is also having my baby. Well it technicaly is her baby but it's the closest I'm ever going to get to being a mama. She lives next door to me and that is awesome. I am going to be very very sad when she and Pope move because their family is growing and they need a bigger house. Popes daughter Rewind has become a special part of our lives as well. She is a little angel and we love her to pieces. I am so thankfull she has found such a sweet fella with such an awesome kid to bring into our family. You see I didn't get along so well with her ex-fiance and he just didn't mesh with our family like Pope does. It is important to me (and HooHa too I'm sure) that our folks like him...and they do.



When I was first diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis she came to the hospital to sit with me every single night for 4 weeks and 4 days. She brought me Taco Del Mar every night too and that I think is the only reason I am still alive today. She also helped me and my family deal with the stark reality of my problem. She helped us stay strong when we all wanted to break down and cry. She also has given us the wonderful beautiful gift of a brand new baby girl. This baby is not only hers and Popes. Well I guess legaly it is, but you get where I'm going with this. We have been wanting and needing a baby in our family to spoil rotten for a long long time. I'm just so happy that we all get together all the time and everyone gets along and truly loves eachother. When it comes right down to it, family is all you got. Most friends come and go, except for a handfull of important, special ones that you can't get rid of no matter what you do to them. Family though, thats forever...even when your gone.



Thank you HooHa for everything you have done for me and for being the best little sister a girl could ever ask for. Thank you for having my baby and thank you for taking care of me when I need it most. I love you forever, a bushell and a peck and a hug around tha neck.
