The L.A. Times ran an article about a nine -year old transgender girl. She’s nine. She’s always identified as a girl, even as a toddler she wanted to play with toys traditionally associated with girls, wear girl costumes when Halloween rolled around, she always gravitated towards little girls at play time- in other words, it was clear to anyone who had half a mind to notice, to see, that he was a…

Alone- adjective- separate , apart or isolated from others

I am alone, in a motel (motel, not hotel, definitely motel) room. It is a pleasant enough room, a decent view of the pool and gardens, a cute little porch outside to sit on, but still it is a motel with bad carpeting and brown the predominant color. I am alone in this room, about to work on my assignments, study what I have been told to study, re-read material I have printed and bound, because I…

TREND- noun-style or vogue

So…I hear there’s a new trend going around. Women, and maybe men, I don’t know, but for sure women, deciding not to wear deodorant, and forget about shaving arm pit hair, apparently it’s cool to be furry there. Are you f***ing kidding me? What, if anything is good about this? Imagine being at your favorite mall and no one has used deodorant, standing in line next to someone who came straight from…

INSPIRATION – A THING OR PERSON THAT INSPIRES

I don’t need a great deal of inspiration to get myself to the gym every day. My thighs are a motivating force, and offer no inspiration, they’re more like a vicious threat, but they serve their purpose well, they keep me at the gym, working out, desperately trying to widen the millimeter of thigh gap that exists. I do find myself inspired most days I’m taking class because of one woman. Certainly…

“But I’d rather look back and regret something I did when I was young and crazy, than look back and regret something I never had the courage to do, and realize it’s too late.” ― Cherrie Lynn, Rock Me

I love discount stores, the whole idea of getting a great deal makes me warm and fuzzy inside and most discount stores are great for people watching as well, okay so not as good as water parks-they truly are the best-or amusement parks, but close, I mean there is a site dedicated to people watching at Wal-Mart. I was at my new favorite Target in a nice upscale area, so I wasn’t expecting fabulous…

Writer’s Block

I was in Iceland last April at The Iceland Writer’s Retreat and a common topic of discussion among the participants was ‘writer’s block.’ I had to keep my mouth shut, (an extremely taxing ordeal for me, not something I can usually master), because well, I don’t get writer’s block. That’s not to say that everything I write is wonderful and worth keeping, it’s not, and I’m quite certain there would…
