In Philadelphia.

I wanted to start writing at least a little everyday, because to be honest I am consumed but so much amusing, yet sometimes very crappy thoughts/feelings that I feel are overwhelming until I release them into someone, something, or perhaps blogger? Right now I'm in Philly, and I really enjoy being able to say that. Just got off a flight from Phoenix and am now picking up Free WIFI, didn't think it would ever happen. The gate is now starting to fill up, which means I need to leave soon, but I have to put this down. My last flight there was a gentleman sitting behind me with his girlfriend/fiance/wife? And it sounded like he was pitching her his boardroom/business-world "game-plan", and strategies of how to talk to an employee.... ha I have never been so amused on a plane. Within the crushed seats and secure seatbelts, I overheard him say, "well Bill, he's like a bear, and when you go to fight against a bear, they fight back. They stand-up on their hinds-legs and stick out their chest and bears always win... I always win." Wow, Thank you Arizona, for that lovely fetch of entertainment... hope the next flight serves well.

Start: writing a blog, using my thoughts in a productive way.

Today I have been consumed by the shit of the world once again.
I am pleasantly dealing with the horrible statistics, attempting legislature,
and bullshit that "we" as a society, think will aid in a somewhat equitable one.
hooks, today inspired once again more of an understanding to my identity with Feminism, or as I like to called it my transcendence from the once knowledgable Me, to an even greater, more aware, more vulnerable, more in awe and shock, woman. I have decided to start another blog, in hopes of being able to put the mass from my head, into written form, even as I have a list of things I need to do before Monday. But I will need to release this before I can move on. So on the to-do, a paper looking at the HIV/AIDS epidemic, from the lens of female sex workers in Thailand (or as I would like to look at it, South-East Asia), but yet, I am to look at it from a PH perspective, in which I have to detach from emotion and give bullshit statistics and list websites that have "purposed" policies, all the mean while, I have to misplace all the inequities as to why the women of Thailand/South-East Asia are pushed into the sex-market. I have to write an 8-10 pg. paper, sharing the information that any "Jill or Joe" could find via the clickin' of a mouse. Despite my anger towards this, I still educate myself on the inequalities and save them away in a piggybank called "my mind", to once again release as a token of my knowledge...? I believe that hopefully this blog will lead me to write down these words and push towards action.
Next on the to-do: Systems of Oppression presentation, last day... and of article that are to bring our class hope, through the last 9 weeks of pain, hurt and awakening, all wonderfully useful, but none the less painful... My degree is my therapy, just not processed until I have time. Then lastly I will wrap up with PH 417
Katherine MacKinnon, Rape and Consent. More to come.
