Feminist who?


I am not a feminist.


Sure pink is for girls and women are superior to men. But aren't those facts, not perspectives?What is it with people anyway that they cannot separate these two?


If I say I don't want to wear dresses, like to ride motorcycles, love the work of a certain Woolf, prefer Marlboros over Virgina Slims and consider Mechanical Engineers as God's Gift to Humankind (and yes, I strongly prefer gender neutral words)or adore Brad Pitt, fall for men who have the old world charm left in them,think after-shave to be the most seductive scent on Earth, I get called a feminist, pseudo-feminist or just a silly fluff.


Why should a body be called something for stating facts?


If I believe that the Sun is the center of the Milky Way or that Morrison was a Rock God, do I get called a Sunist or a Doorist?But aren't those facts, not perspectives?What is it with people anyway that they cannot separate these two?


So much for these Male Chauvinist Pigs(MCP thing, you know)and their obsession with taxonomy.


As for me, I am happy to sit back,flip through Top Gear while the curlers do their job and separate my facts from my perspectives. Champagne anyone?

Just another say in paradise

The day dawned Brown today and the bush-Poodle might evolve into a bush-Doberman now. Not that I love one dog a little more and another a little less. Just that dogs should remain where they like to be- at the feet.


And since this one is not on dogs, Brown or otherwise, I will let it be.


An American manages to wolf down 5 Hamburgers per second and makes a world record. The skinny kid from Sudan could have done it too, with his big belly and all, only that Capitol Hill might raise a hue and cry about giving visas to skinny kids from Sudan when there are plenty of domestic hamburger-wolfers around. You know, the whole thing about protecting domestic jobs and all.


And since this one is not on Hills or hams, Capitol or otherwise, I will let it be.

The iPhone is out and Alan Johnston is going to be slaughtered. People are not morbid. Thank the Lord. Google with all its analytic truthfulness points out to that. Check out the number of times these two have been "Googled" for.


And since this one is not on people, morbid or materialistic, I will let it be otherwise.

After all, for me, it is just another say in paradise.
