Now that he's older and lazier, his work has been mostly of the psychological variety, i.e. putting irrational fears into my head and psyching me out of doing things for his own twisted pleasure. The most recent example is my really stupid fear of teaching swimming lessons to special needs kids. I am probably the only human being on earth who has or has ever had this fear, but Ethan got to me.

Our world is so much shinier. People are so much more tolerant. Yay us! While all the above may be true in general terms, I'd like to point out that where the PC learning of our youth left off, the narrow-minded views of the ages have taken over.

For instance, in the area of "young women" and sex, I have recently discovered that we're all just a bunch of red-necked yahoos, scratching our privates and making grunting noises at the people we don't understand. If women want to have sex a lot, that should be fine. If women want to have sex a little, that should be fine, too. If women want save sex for marriage, what's the problem? The problem is, as I've recently learned, that nobody's actually tolerant in this area; everyone thinks it's their business to label everyone else and scrunch up their faces at the people they don't agree with and send nasty little internet jokes about them to everyone in a 300 miles radius.

we're all looking for a connection; we all aspire to having a soul mate; we all want to have sex; and we'll all make mistakes trying to get there. Some larger than others, especially if your name happens to be Kale. So put that in your can and spray paint it, why dontcha? And try to be a little more 'liberated' kay? HAHAHA!
