ROCK THE VOTE!

November 2, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

. . . I know many will disagree: but for me, this election is all about a (not so covert any more) culture war. “Cutting taxes & Smaller Government” to me is another code for “Compassionate Conservatism”, i.e. “I feel sorry for you man but I am not gonna share with you. Sorry. It sucks [...]

Rally to Restore Sanity: Perspective is everything

October 30, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

. This is today. I wish I were there. But I am here at home, trying to restore my own sanity, in a very personal, trivial way. Some dear friends that I have the honor of getting to know were there on the Mall in D.C. witnessing history: Nancy at Mature Landscaping. Renee at Life [...]

Reality bites. No. Reality kicked my ass.

October 19, 2010 no manual for parenting

There is no other way around it: I am a hypocrite. Isn’t it an ironic coincidence that after my holier-than-thou tirade against bullying and my immagonnakickyourpunkass battle cry, my 12-year-old son told me tonight that he has been called all sorts of names at school? Names such as gay, nerd, retard. Hurled at him, in [...]

I will stab anyone who says “Boys will always be boys”

October 8, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

I wasn’t sure that you need to read yet another post on the recent deaths by suicide* of some very young people in this country. I thought it was all over the news and everybody read/heard about it by now. Besides, I will just be preaching to the choir: I have made a conscientious effort to not [...]

Remember where you were when you heard the news?

September 11, 2010 this i believe

Remember where you were when you saw it? For the first time? I am sure all of us (those old enough) do. I was in Boise, Idaho then. I was working as a management consultant, traveling Monday through Thursday. By then, I have been on the project for almost half a year. I wanted to [...]

I Comment Therefore I Am: Vaginas, Mama Grizzlies and War on Stupidity

August 24, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Hello? *Tapping the microphone* Is this thing on? *Sorry for the screeeeching feedback* Hi. My name is Lin. And I run my mouth here. I sometimes do a set called “I Comment Therefore I Am” because comments more often than not are the best part. In the interest of full disclosure: Today I am going to lure [...]

“How to Be Alone”

August 10, 2010 therapy in session

I was going to write something about BlogHer… But my besties that I have had the good fortune to meet and grope in magical New York City have all done a much better job than I could have, esp. since after three days, I am still pissing and sweating vodka… So if you haven’t been [...]

Things I Missed

July 27, 2010 therapy in session

I have been back to my real life since two Sundays ago.  After a week on the beach, doing nothing, having no appointments to make, no place to rush to, I find it hard to adjust back to life in the suburbia 100%. On the first few days after The Beach, I caught myself thinking [...]

July 7. Day 78. Remember the Gulf.

July 7, 2010 this i believe

You are probably screaming at the monitor right now: We have the largest environmental disaster on our hand which has had and will continue to have significant impact on people’s lives and livelihood for generations to come. And what did you do? You bought t-shirts from Threadless?! Yes ma’am and sir, yes we did. . . . On [...]

My Love Affair

July 5, 2010 this i believe

On July 4th, at around 5 pm, I loaded the boys into the car, against all best judgement, headed towards the community park where half the town had been and the rest of the town was heading towards.  We were determined to be there for the long haul. The final prize? The July 4th fireworks. [...]
