    The Journals of Lewis and Clark (Lewis & Clark Expedition)

    I know you can't see it. I made it private after 2 weeks. I asked for opinions. I got 10 views and 3 comments. I left it up for 2 weeks before I changed it to private.

    Thanks to those who commented. Your opinions have really mattered to me. I plan to talk to each of  you about it, but the other peeps that looked at it obviously don't give a shit. I don't have time to write much now, as the job calls, but I will get to it SOON!

    The book I have been reading is tedious, but eye-opening. It is clear that while the expedition is glamorized in school, the real purpose right from the start was to check out what land the new country wanted to TAKE from the natives, and how hard it was going to be to conquer them and defeat them. They were collecting, among other things, info on where the various nations were, and how many braves/warriors, etc. they each had. It was an Army expedition after all! They were carefully mapping out a strategy. The other thing that struck me was that the men from the expedition were fucking the squaws along the way, and taking all the help they could get from the men, but calling them savages at the same time. Overall, they were pretty despicable in my mind. Then again, this was the age of slavery, so...

    I picked up my new glasses about 4 hours ago, and my eyes and head are killing me.

    Later,

    Frank

    Life Death Love and Freedom
    By John Mellencamp

    Imagine this...

    You are a married male with two children, and you are having an extramarital affair. Your lover is a religious person, and even though you are a professed atheist, she wants you to go to church with her on Christmas. So, you know where your friends and acquaintances go to church, so you agree to go to Midnight Mass at a downtown church, in a town where you are sure you won’t run into anyone who knows you. You arrive early and sit on the side away from the door. Everything looks ok. Then, in walks a group of friends of yours that includes your wife’s best friend! What are they doing here? They don’t go to church in this town! Omg, now what? They are sitting right across from us, and Frank looked right at me! Act like I don’t see them. Don’t look at them. Slide down in the pew. Is she going to tell my wife?

     

    What do you imagine he would be thinking during the service? Do you think he would be formulating excuses? How do you explain not being with your family on Christmas? Maybe being arrogant and feeling justified enough that he doesn’t need to explain himself? Or just resolving to not worry about it until it hits the fan? Do you think he heard anything that was said during the homily?

     

     

     

     

    We decided to do something different for church on Christmas this year. Rather than go to the usual Christmas Eve evening Mass or a Christmas Day Mass in the morning, we decided to go to a downtown church that had a 12:00 AM Mass on Christmas Day. We entered right before the start of Mass, and sat on the side near the door. As we slid into the pew, I noticed someone I thought was a friend of mine sitting across the aisle. He was unshaven and looked like he had just gotten out of bed. Is that really him? He is with that woman next to him, and she is holding his hand, maybe it is someone who looks a lot like him. Don’t jump to conclusions. I couldn’t help looking over there, almost staring, until I could get a good look at his face, which was mostly turned away from me. I finally got that good look. Yep, no mistake, it is definitely him. I leaned over to Best Friend and whispered “Did you get a load of who is across the aisle?” Best Friend turned and looked. Jaw dropped. Eyes widened. She looked back at me and whispered “That can’t be -----, can it? Who’s that woman he is with? That’s not ------ (his wife)!”  *pause for another look*  “That is someone else, someone who just looks like him… isn’t it?” “No” I replied. “It is him, definitely.” Sadness and concern sets in on Best Friend’s face. After the Mass, we leave, he leaves, no recognition takes place.

     

    His wife is a better friend to me than he is, so should I say anything? Should I confront him and tell him how I feel about his treatment of his wife and kids? What about me? Would I do the same thing? How would I feel about myself if I did? What if our roles were reversed? Would he keep his mouth shut? Does he want to get “caught?” I decided that I wasn’t going to say anything. After all, I already know what he is like. Was Best Friend going to tell his wife? Should she?

     

     

     

    Epilogue:

     

    Over this last weekend, during a conversation between Wife and Best Friend, the subject of Husband “finding religion” came up. Convenient, no? Now, I got this scenario second hand from Best Friend.

    Best Friend: “Yeah, we saw him Christmas Eve at church.”

    Wife: “You did? Where? When?”

    Best Friend: At Midnight Mass, down at -----.”

    Wife: “I’ll bet he wasn’t alone, was he?”

    Best Friend: “No, he was with a woman I didn’t recognize.”

    Wife starts crying.

    Wife: “I know he has been fooling around. I found the bill for the blood tests he had for Syphilis and AIDS.” He isn’t coming near me anymore!”

    I didn’t get the rest of the discussion.

     

    Epilogue 2:

     

    This week, Wife confronted Husband. He admits to having multiple partners, male and female, pretty regularly. He claims to have taken part in trysts and orgies, mixed male and female. His kids hate him and won’t talk to him at all. Wife is considering next steps.

     

    In a way, you have to feel sorry for the sucker, but if he is telling the truth, I have NEVER had that kind of fun. And I won’t!

     

    What do you think?

  • A re-post from Xamnu2:

    Article Date: 03/13/2008

    The following letter was sent our way via a field director for Equality Florida. Eighteen year old Tucker attempted to deliver this letter to Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern after her hateful words comparing gays to terrorists, but was prevented from doing so by a highway patrol officer. As a result, Tucker's family members began circulating the letter in its entirety. Please be moved, as we were, by the powerful words of this remarkable young man.

    Gay_Firestorm_sff_OKSO101_20080314141037 Rep Kern:

    On April 19, 1995 in Oklahoma City, a terrorist detonated a bomb that killed my mother and 167 others. Nineteen children died that day. Had I not had the chicken pox that day, the body count would've likely have included one more. Over 800 other Oklahomans were injured that day and many of those still suffer through their permanent wounds.

    That terrorist was neither a homosexual nor was he involved in Islam. He was an extremist Christian forcing his views through a body count. He held his beliefs and made those who didn't live up to them pay with their lives.

    As you were not a resident of Oklahoma on that day, it could be explained why you so carelessly chose words saying that the homosexual agenda is worse than terrorism. I can most certainly tell you through my own experience that is not true. I am sure there are many people in your voting district that laid a loved one to death after the terrorist attack on Oklahoma City. I kind of doubt you'll find one of them that will agree with you.

    I was five years old when my mother died. I remember what a beautiful, wise and remarkable woman she was. I miss her. Your harsh words and misguided beliefs brought me to tears, because you told me that my mother's killer was a better person than a group of people who are seeking safety and tolerance for themselves.

    As someone left motherless and victimized by terrorists, I say to you very clearly you are absolutely wrong. You represent a district in Oklahoma City and you very coldly express a lack of love, sympathy or understanding for what they've been through. Can I ask if you might have chosen wiser words were you a real Oklahoman that was here to share the suffering with Oklahoma City? Might your heart be a bit less cold had you been around to see the small bodies of children being pulled out of rubble and carried away by weeping firemen?

    I've spent 12 years in Oklahoma public schools and never once have I had anyone try to force a gay agenda on me. I have seen, however, many gay students beat up and there's never a day in school that has gone by when I haven't heard the word f****t slung at someone. I've been called gay slurs many times and they hurt and I am not even gay so I can just imagine how a real gay person feels. You were a school teacher and you have seen those things too. How could you care so little about the suffering of some of your students?

    Let me tell you the result of your words in my school. Every openly gay and suspected gay in the school were having to walk together Monday for protection. They looked scared. They've already experienced enough hate and now your words gave other students even more motivation to sneer at them and call them names. Afterall, you are a teacher and a lawmaker, many young people have taken your words to heart. That happens when you assume a role of responsibility in your community. I seriously think before this week ends that some kids here will be going home bruised and bloody because of what you said.

    Gay_Firestorm_sff_OKSO102_20080314141213 I wish you could've met my mom. Maybe she could've guided you in how a real Christian should be acting and speaking.

    I have not had a mother for nearly 13 years now and wonder if there were fewer people like you around, people with more love and tolerance in their hearts instead of strife, if my mom would be here to watch me graduate from high school this spring. Now she won't be there. So I'll be packing my things and leaving Oklahoma to go to college elsewhere and one day be a writer and I have no intentions to ever return here. I have no doubt that people like you will incite crazy people to build more bombs and kill more people again. I don't want to be here for that. I just can't go through that again.

    You may just see me as a kid, but let me try to teach you something. The old saying is sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Well, your words hurt me. Your words disrespected the memory of my mom. Your words can cause others to pick up sticks and stones and hurt others.

    Sincerely,

    Tucker
