We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and women, being far superior, run the full range of diversity. There are women who are nurturing to children and men and old people and dogs. And then there are the rest of us.
There are women who leave the house with manicured nails and perfectly styled hair in shiny cars that never seem to lose that new car smell. And there are the rest of us.
There are women who do it all, work full-time in climate-controlled offices, and full-time inside the home where there is always an adequate supply of paper products, healthy snacks and fresh-smelling sheets. And then there are the rest of us.
There are women who are are always ready for sex, not just willing, but ready, as in, shaved and flossed and spritzed with a healthy supply of fresh ideas. And then there are the rest of us.
In this, my Declaration of Indolence, I assert my inequality to these women, who do in fact exist. They are not mythical creatures created by the media to torment the rest of us. I know these women. I hate these women. I could name them individually, but a hundred years from now, they will still exist, just with different names.
Let freedom ring, at least where our daughters are concerned, that they may know the joy of not taking care of everyone and everything. Let our daughters not take responsibility for the mistakes of all men. Let our daughters be free to take care of themselves first and foremost with the knowledge that they cannot and should not take care of the entire population of men and children and house pets.
I solemly publish and declare that a woman shall be free from her own tyranny, absolved from allegiance to public image and free to pursue her inalienable rights to happiness, life and liberty. Oh, and may she be free to shave her legs only when she feels like it.

And speaking of ring...you know how a lot of companies give out awards for numbers of years of service? Well, we should get actual rings. The weight of the diamond could go up each year. | Times have changed...

These changes you refer to above, a hopeful change of times for daughters, has already arrived. In the media-focused mindset of Gucchi purses, and 'That's Hot' is a less highlighted, but stronger ideological movement to the sexually free and intellegent woman, away from the 2.5 kids, picket fence, and golden retreiver. Fueling this movement is the opposite puzzle piece. Guys. A qoute sums up our part of the movement, "We're a generation raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need." Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club. But as the focus on a family orientated society decreases, and 'loose' 'moral' standards of sexual relations continue to change, forcing the standard relationship to change; don't forget that the largest poverty stricken demographic in America is SINGLE MOTHERS. Basically, be careful what one wishes for. The continuing struggle for sexual equality can't be one that is wholly on a personal scale... |

|  | "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." | |
|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | Hola Amigos! I'm Sandra. I like to believe that people are 70 percent good and 30 percent dumb. I'm stickin to that story. Reading this blog might make you want to be good, but probably just dumb. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
