I almost have to laugh. I guess there's no such thing as "happily ever after," after all. She told me Friday that she was too busy with school and her daughter to have any time for herself, let alone for a relationship with me. And here I thought I was banking up points in the emotional investment account, and she's like, "let's be friends." Great....

Today is the one-year anniversary of the death of my son. I say son, but it could have been a daughter -- my girlfriend chose to get an abortion last year. And today is the day that she took the first pill, Mifepristone, last year.
He was eight weeks old. Just large enough and developed enough to be recognizably human. He had little hands and...

I thought I would update my journal a little more often than I have been, but I've been busy with work and other work.
Other work is an enrichment class in media literacy that I have been teaching to junior high school kids. Media literacy is such an important subject in today's culture, but kids aren't learning it for two reasons:

My life moves slowly.
I need to finish my college degree -- I only have 6 credits left to get my BA -- but I don't have the money to pay for them.
I left school to take a job, thinking if I had a real job as a newspaper writer that I would be able to pay my bills. What a joke! I work...

Well ladies and gents, I can't resist not posting again, especially with the commentary from Helen_Jupiter on the news story about Matt Dubay of Saginaw, Mich., who has filed a lawsuit dubbed by the National Center for Men "Roe v. Wade for Men."
Yeah, this guy is filing a lawsuit to address the issue of male reproductive rights, because he doesn't want to pay child...

This entry gave me some things to think about and sparked a deep conversation between me and a friend concerning gender roles and inequality. I wanted to thank you for that.
wakeman:
Err, wow. Care to share some of the salient points of your conversation?
Maybe something about how a woman can throw away a man (except for his wallet) just as quickly as he can discard her?
Babies are disposable too....
In a society that flushes 6-week-old fetuses down the toilet after a simple chemical abortion because it's convenient (it's just like having your period, right?) , how can that same society inconvenience men by tapping their finances for 18 years?
Again, I make no judgements. I'm just asking the questions.

I've been a member for the last six months or so, but I haven't bothered to really use this site except to look at all the amazingly sexy women up here.
But that is going to change. I may not get to be a Suicide Girl, but I am a writer, and that's pretty cool, right?
Yeah, yeah, so everybody is a writer on this...

Hang in there.
Depeche Mode. Nice. Saw them in Seattle recently. It was worth the obscene price tag.
