Fuck it... I'm just gonna straight-up make a me-sized version of this:
why the hell should dumbshit kids get all the sweet rides? fuck that. I shall rectify.
I mean, how hard can it be? get a seat... attach rear wheels, attach pedals DIRECTLY to front wheel (no chain involved)... and then maybe steering might be more difficult, but I'll figure something out.
Speakin of sweet rides:
MY XL70 LIVES AGAIN!!!
Clarky and I fixed my motorcycle tonight. She breathes again. It was mostly just a matter of adjusting the carb properly.

Would finding genetic, perinatal and postnatal causes for shyness, leadership, creativity, logical-thinking, intelligence, left- or right-handedness, a wicked slapshot, preferring strawberry to raspberry, or any other such traits be the first step in a grand plan to "cure" these conditions?
There's a plotline in Regenesis (a Canadian show about the cutting edge of biotechnology and its ethical, political, terrorist, and other implications) in which a scientist discovers an allele of a gene that is linked to homosexuality. Apart from all the typical "if your baby were" or "if you were and had the choice" questions, there was a more interesting question asked. If you were gay and you didn't have the allele (or, to generalize, the genetic or perinatal confluence that was supposed to bring about homosexuality), what would that mean about you?

"i don't really mind the possibility of genetics being factor for homosexuality.
but then that would mean that there are Gay Babies. just saying"

hmm... interesting:
The probability of a man being gay rises the more older brothers he has, a finding that adds weight to idea sexual orientation could be influenced in the womb.
Some sort of "prenatal factor" such as a maternal immune response to several male fetuses could be at play, altering the brain development of younger brothers, Blanchard told CBC Newsworld.
The findings don't rule out the effects of learning in homosexuality, but more research is generally finding prenatal effects, he said.
but that only 'explains' (supposedly) male homosexuality... what about women?
wait a minute, why are we trying to explain it anyway? is this another effort to 'cure' people of it?? it's a strange sort of research to conduct if you ask me... ulterior motives, anyone?

Jere and Dana, as much as i was actually really looking forward to bad movie night tonight, i am too bloody hot to want to relocate from my basement with a fan on my back. and judging by the temperature in the upstairs part of our house, i'd imagine that your apt. is rather toasty at the moment. maybe i'll show up in a bit when i'm less roasted (stupid sun burn), but if i don't, it's not 'cause i don't like y'all, it's 'cause i'm just too freakin' hot.
but i hope you have fun anyway.

Don't worry Alison there is someone out there that hates everyone... you know to balance everything out, ying and yang and all that.

i concur. definitely not the most justifiable reason to leave a city. but whatever, you know? not my life, not my relationship. i just couldn't let the "if she was a decent wife..." comment slide. so i made an issue of it. ... in my need to spice things up every now and then... no worries. i don't hate anyone.
