Holy shit...it's here. Ash Wednesday. Holy, but not necessarily holy shit, I guess. If ya read my last post, you know that this is a big day for me: the first day of my vegan-lenten experience. Since it's about 2:30 AM, I'm not in the thick of it yet, and won't be eating anything for a quite a while...just nervously excited. Why nervously? Well, I don't want to fail. Fuck that, it's not an

Since late 2007, I have consumed absolutely no mammal. No beef, pork, venison, etc. Actually, from about October of that year until June or July of 2008, I had absolutely NO meat...and yes, chicken, fish, and eggs are meat (who the hell decided they weren't, anyway?). Why did I start eating chicken and fish again after abstaining for eight or nine months? Well, it was mostly about

Leviticus 18:22 says "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." Rick Perry is a huge fan of the verse...and he's "strong" enough to admit it. He's not alone; it's a pretty popular verse in the bible for hatemongers these days. From personal experience, it seems as if those who claim to follow a more "literal" translation are the most vocal in their praise. I

The storms rage on outside, but thankfully, I have internet and satellite connection. So as the thunder booms, "From Hell" is playing on IFC and Pandora's "The Temptations" channel is slithering through the speakers on my phone. Why in the world do I have the t.v. on if I'm not going to listen? Especially with such a gory movie? Well, honestly, I'm a bit attention deficit. That's about as great

So this is only my second post in over a year-and-a-half. Yeah. I need to do better. Maybe a pic of my past-life husband Mr. Valentino will help: ...I wish. That suit...that smile...too damn cute. Back to reality (grudgingly).

My first blog...ever. Luckily, I doubt that there will be much expectation. Gives me a limitless opportunity to dick up as much as I see fit! First, I'll give you some back-info: I am a 25 year old bellydancer from the gigantic abyss known as Benton, Arkansas (just southwest of Little Rock). Okay, so maybe it isn't gigantic, but it has quite a bite for a town its size. Billy Bob Thornton
