So, the continued discussion on the boards from my last post has lent the questions of “why do you want to see direct combat?” and “would you sign up for an all female unit?”

Well, first off, I know I’m not the only female in the US who’s twisted as fuck and would have no issue with being on the front line and putting our lives directly on the line. And to mirror, why would any men want to see direct combat? Why are they even willing to go if called? Many women can answer those questions with the same answer. As to the second question, if that was a unit of women with my same opinion? Of course I’d sign up to be in it, I could tolerate them, but don’t expect any of us to coddle that one that refuses to be part of the team. Otherwise, pack me in with the boys, I find them easier to work with, despite the fact that I scare the living shit out of the boys I consider the coolest in service.

As for the dumbfucks that are complaining about the fact that sex is happening on shifts because of the women – sorry, but women’s BDUs aren’t the only buttons that have to come undone for that deed to happen. Want to bitch about the harlots in the service of the US military, tell your boys to keep their pants around their waist and not their ankles. Seriously, I’d rather give myself carpal tunnel than fuck any of my unit mates.

And yes, this is another major bitch of mine, in the event you haven’t figured that out, yet.

Ya know, if this changes in the next couple of years, I might sign up…

But I fucking hate it when someone takes up the charge to keep women out of frontline combat units. The fact that this is actual policy is the reason why I didn’t join up in the first place, and thankfully, this little skirmish is changing that fact, and I hope the military soon changes its policy to reflect it.

Scorpio for this week:

It’s a good time for you to think about your relationship to human beings who haven’t been born yet. Is there anything you can do to be more conscious about making your life a gift to the future? What might you create that would enhance the destinies of our descendants? How can you conduct yourself so that you will not only help preserve the wonders we live amidst, but actually enhance them? As you ponder your possible contributions–and maybe also take practical action to deepen your commitment to them–keep in mind this thought from Lewis Carroll: “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backward.”

I think the boy is finally catching up with me. Amazing. Hrm.

I’m becoming more introspective of late. There are things that need to be shifted, things that need to be burned, and things that need to be added. I’m definitely feeling the need to get to the mountains again, spend some time by a river, merge with something that is not human or animal. I’m not sure exactly what is up, but I’ve been pushing ideas around in my head, about letting go of my skin. Specifically today, when I got to the cafe, they were playing Celtic music, and continued for about an hour till they switched to whatever it is that’s on right now. Once it’s warm enough, I’ll probably take my own trip to the mountains, sit by the tri-states dam for a bit and dip my toes in. If the whipping boy is still state-side, maybe I can talk him into a ride on the bike up there, or maybe a nice trip out of a perfectly good airplane. Either or, I need to shift something, I just need to figure out what that is, preferably sooner, rather than later.

wire_mother, I’m developing an interest in Celtic stick fighting. Any suggestions?

In other news, I’ve gotta kick my ass in gear to get my research going again. Driving around the other day after yoga kicked me to a new realization. The yogi at the conference, who’s sessions I attended, made the comment that one secret of yoga is that it’s the moving book of sexuality. I’ve been pondering on that since, and going through my ashtanga movements had me agreeing with her realization. Each movement I went through, was a movement that is used in the dance of sexual relations. It charged me quite a bit, which is where I’m thinking my loss of a personal boundary came from (my apologies to those at dessert). I’m actually quite happy that, that specific boundary dropped. I have some more exploring to do, I’ll see about doing that this week, as time allows.

I need to re-check my sources to put some more Eastern/Western attack/defense theories together. Maybe that will help me further my studies into Western “shamanic” massage approach. I gotta quit being so lazy with my mind. I’m doing so well on my body, but I’m starting to neglect that part.

Scorpio for this week:

“Many of us don’t change until we’re in crisis mode,” notes psychologist Robert Maurer, “until our mate leaves us or we lose our job. Once that moment comes we look for a big leap to get out of pain.” Unfortunately, big leaps under pressure usually don’t work. If you really want to change, you have to accomplish it little by little, and it’s best to begin long before you’re feeling miserable, scared, or backed into a corner. I mention this, Scorpio, because it’s a perfect time to launch a step-by-step course correction that will ensure you won’t get pinched by a predicament in April. Start modifying your behavior and adjusting your attitude while you’re at the top of your game.

Read that last night before the storm of my project hit. But, I’ve been able to put that into perspective now, and all I have to do is send out the promo to The Donovan so he can post my request for assistance. Then, late last night, I got the request to do some back-end work on the Concert, which has been taken care of, sufficiently at this point.

So, onto my regularly scheduled job. And I should make an attempt to make it to the gym today.

Oh yes, my Zoomie is testing for TSG today, so everyone cross your fingers….please. 🙂

Alrighty boys and girls- This little freak’s Support our Troops project just got a major kick in the ass. See, my Evil Fraternal Twin hooked me up with a awesome band, who’s all about the “support the troops” stuff. So, I sent them a quick note telling them about my project, and out go the emails to their contacts to let them know.

So, I’m definitely going to be taking submissions and donations. For those who want to provide the donations, email me and I’ll give you a list of “approved” zines. If you’re out-of-state, from me, I’ll even provide a shipping address to get things to me (as it’s illegal to hand out names and addresses). I know several of you have wanted to help out, and I’ve got plenty of things to help out with, including mail runs or bookstore runs.
