The Quickie #2

Hello my friends and readers...both of you. SO much has happened in the last six weeks that I don't know where to start...but I'll try.

San Diego

Holy cow what a trip! Not only did I finally get to stick my toes in the Pacific Ocean (and I have photos to prove it!), but it was another HUGE victory for my company territory. All total, we scored 10, count em, 10 awards and Territory of the Year for the second year in a row! I can only count my participation in this year's win, as I had only been on board for just over 2 months when the first one came down, so this is especially thrilling for me! I will do a San Diego blog, featuring such juicy tidbits as:

Holy crap! That's a WHALE!
Holy crap! A perfect stranger is feeling me up on the dance floor!
Holy crap! Tijuana SUCKS!
and
Holy crap! There's no smoking ANYWHERE in this state!

Politics--Pope Benedict Speaks

Riots broke out in several Muslim majority countries after political cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in an unflattering manner were published in a Danish newspaper, once more proving the Muslim community has no sense of humor. ((I'm sorry, was that out loud?)) Where was I? Oh yes, Pope Benedict XVI later commented that freedom of speech does not include the right to make fun of other people's religion.

I cry your pardon, Your Holiness, but yes it does.

See, that's the thing about Freedom of Speech. It covers EVERYTHING. Be it distasteful, blasphemous, insulting, or downright stupid, it is covered. And it is up to the individual who made the statement (or in this case published the cartoon) to face the consequences of their actions. I may not like what someone is saying, but I'll damn sure be the first in line to back up their right to say it, and my right to call that someone an idiot for saying it.

Back In The Saddle Again

I'm dating again and it is GOOD! That is all.

Sweet Freedom

I quit Job #2 and as of this weekend my weekends belong to ME! Feels SO good. Funny, though. I'm still exhausted. Might have something to do with all the bedroom reorganization I've been doing. Hmmm.

Be Vewy Vewy Quiet...

Vice President Dick Cheney (emphasis on the Dick) accidentally shot his friend in the face with bird shot whilst Quail Hunting. Accident or no, isn't that some sort of crime? Please tell me he can face charges over this. Please?!?

Well, that's all for now. Fading fast with more to do, don'tchaknow. I'll be back with more soon. Promise.
