Sublime...partial birth.....4/20

-----------------------
I love the Sublime Box Set I got for Christmas. Oh man.... I have the biggest crush on Bradley Nowell... Im really trying to commit to things these days, and Im starting with favorites. Favorite Sublime Songs: Waiting For My Ruca, Dont Push, and BadFish......
Favorite Album: 40oz to Freedom! Such a good one... If I ever get a tattoo... I will definately consider getting that big sun..
---------------------
The Partial Birth Thing..... I actually happen to lean toward the pro-life side most of the time. Some may find this suprising, but I think the fetus is a living human person that deserves a chance, that does not mean, however, that I am a crazy..t-shirt wearing.. clinic bombing pro-lifer... I dont want those connotations people! I completely understand how 14 and 15 year old girls can find themselves knocked up and feel like there is no other way out. I think these girls should be helped and consoled. Im also hesitant to say that all abortion should be illegal... That would probably just result in girls doing it themselves with coat hangers etc...
--------------------
4/20.... I really like the stories and urban myths behind this number. I like it as a time of day and as a day of the year. I think its clever and funny.... I also like it as a day to come together adn push for legalization. Its not physically addictive, and its a lot better than alcohol.. dont smoke it though, its terrible for your lungs.. there are some great recipes at HighTimes.com -----------
----
--------------------------I certainly wish everybody a Happy Late 4/20

So.. My boyfriend hosted a Canadian foreign exchange student last weekend. It was pretty interesting. He was from the East Coast of Canada (I think he said Nova Scotia, but im not positive). His name was Chris, and ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS GO TO HOOTERS!! Personally, I find Hooters a little degrading but I submitted to it with the mental justification that it is in fact a notable American institution that Canadians are bound to be curious about. I was pleasantly suprised to find that the food is really really good!!! Extremely bad for you and greasy as hell, but really really good! Their ad campaigns and strategies are brilliant to be sure! The place was packed! and one just cannot deny that they have cornered the market for horny men (and the occasional orange-hot-short-loving lesbian) looking for beer and hot wings! And 7.99 a pitcher is really not bad (especially when the university is reimbursing all reciepts). The hot shirmp are great too, and the curly fries made me want to mouthgasm! There was the frustrating situation with the skantily clad waitresses..... Now I am all about freedom of expression, and if orange hot shorts do the trick, well then so be it.... but when the orange hot shorts are hitting on my boyfriend.... big problem! My boyfriend responded politely and appropriately (major points for him considering that he had had a few beers and the waitress was absolutely gorgous.. not to mention barely contained in her teensy white tank and orange hot shorts). After a while I stopped checking to make sure my boyfriend wasnt staring at the orange asses that sauntered by... because frankly, I was too! They are BRIGHT ORANGE.. The effect is impossible to avoid... YOU CANT LOOK AWAY! So props to the Hooters people for affectively using all this to their advantage.... Unfortunatly there are many women benig objectified and used in the process... which really pushes my buttons, but I'll keep the feminism to a minimun (for once). Man... now my mouth is watering for those spicy shrimp and greasy wings!
