Day 26 (satire on my nuts)

No, not the singing group.  Fell off Making the Band long before these guys went professional (editors note: Aubrey I did notice!).  I’m talking about my 40 days and nights of celibacy.  For some odd reason every year I seem to go through some sort of chemical imbalance that causes me to want to quit or regroup certain things in my life.  When I was 4, I decided that if i could stop pissing the bed for a week, I could maintain it forever.  And it worked.   Its the same thing with putting on my safety belt.  I used the technique two November’s ago to break the my cigarette fix, and I’m 97.3 percent cured.

The sex thing was more about getting control of my sexual life.  I hadn’t taken a STD test in at least 5 years and I knew better.  One morning, I have to admit that I got sick of hearing the “Wrap it Up” ads in my ear and decided I would make my sexy ass Doctor do some real work finally.  I knew I was probably cool on the HIV and AID because I’d unfortunately been in the tank a few times in those five years, and fortunately tested negative (for Tubercolis too).  But I always wondered about the babies.  The HPVs, the herps, and the claps.   Lets not even start with the paranoia about my penis hurting more than usual.

Doctor certifies me clean as a whistle, yet still I can’t believe I’ve let it ride (no pun) so many times.  The most difficult part about wearing condoms is they break anyway.  So I’m taking a break to see if I want to stop wearing condoms.  At some point, you’ve gotta find a pretty girl, hop in a drop top Benz, and find your lane.

This is all positive, don’t get me wrong.  I have been lucky to have been  loved and appreciated by a few great women over this time.  I sit back now and take bits and pieces of them hoping to mold the image of what i would want for me. I’m sitting around Day 26 of celibacy, not abstinence, and I’m starting to see alot of things clearer.  Alot of people around me are helping right now.  There marriages are over.  They want to run from their relationship.  Lesson 1: Aim before you shoot.  Doing my own cupid right now.  I appreciate sex too much to risk it.  Gotta get smart about it.  Find one girl.  Do the mono thing.  One girl, one god, one light.

P.S. If you are a sexy intelligent and charismatic lady, feel free to email me at izm.rjmega@gmail.com.  We can be friends first

My opine on marijuana redux

Before I share my opinion, I would like to first say that I do not condone the use of marijuana.  Its illegal.  That said, I do think the legality of the drug should be reconsidered.  Marijuana law was created in an attempt to criminalize Mexican immigrants.  It worked.   Propaganda was used to help convince the people of the drugs dangerous effects.  A lot of federal money was put into that shit basically.

In the sixties or seventies, Nixon made it a class 1 drug equal in weight to PCP and heroin.   Possesion of some amounts might mean life.  Life for the only natural occurring drug that you don’t need to alter to enjoy (maybe?).   All I do know is the number one killer of people ain’t weed.  Its behind heroin and cocaine.  Its behind alcohol and cigarettes.  Hell, its even behind prescription pills.  Today I took 1000 grams of hydrocodone for a migraine and the effect lasted for 12 hours, and my stomach became nauseous.  When chemotherapy weakens terminally ill patients, marijuana calms the nervous stomach and strengthens the appetite for food, and in turn for life.  There are many people who are prosecuted for growing plants that have no intentions of dealing, yet still can be prosecuted with exuberant fines and sentences.   And in the end it seems that it is always about the money.

When there is money on the table nobody wants to get up and walk away from the game.  Sometimes the players are in so deep that they can’t see the game is already over.  Its time that people start thinking logically about pot.  The number of people in prison for marijuana IS criminal.  Currently the number of dollars spent on illegal marijuana nearly triples any other domestic crop and in Northern California, where state law is more lax, the economies has survived because of its trade.  Furthermore, the Mexican border is trife with warring cartels trying to own the illegal trade into the states.  There are already pockets of illegal colonist growing gardens in the wilderness of the United States.  Violence has already struck suburban neighborhoods, and we know how America loves it suburbs. The industry is in the billions.

How do you gain control of the madness? Be reasonable and think logically.   Unlike other illicit drugs, marijuana is fortunate enough to have been ingested at one time or another by a majority of Americans.  Its effects can be documented consistently.  Unfortunately, the past decade has used no scientific research to help ascertain what role marijuana should play in American society.  You can’t ignore it.   I for one think the decriminalization of marijiuana is a mandatory action that must be considered.  Its medicinal purposes cannot be understated and therefore must be evaluated by the FDA.  The feds must behave logically.  It should be prescribed and taxed like any other drug.  Cigarette campaigns back Drug Free America ads in an effort to distract the public from the truth.  Somewhere somebody must speak the truth.  Resources are being wasted on marijuana.  The only true way to win a war on drugs is to take on each drug one at a time and either demolish it or contain it.  Its time that the feds contain this sticky icky icky situation before the entire thing burns.

In closing, I ask that you give thought to the words I have shared with you.  Remember that we are in the year 2010 and not 1920.   If you consider marijuana to be a class one stimulant and that is worth this much fighting for then tell me, whom do you know that has died from smoking it.

How do you reach the hood? President Obama certainly knows how to speak to be heard.  He is a master of that.  Its rare that his words don’t fit the situation, always tailored and meaningful.  The All Star Game was a blow out, with the West dominating the East.  Shaq and Kobe even shared the MVP.  But this was still the highlight of the night.  I hope it inspires you to get involved and help make a difference in the world.

Fox News Reports

Boy reportedly becomes a father at age 13, sparking debate in Britain over teen pregnancy

By RAPHAEL G. SATTER Associated Press Writer

6:12 PM EST, February 13, 2009

LONDON (AP) — He’s 13. He scarcely looks 10. And according to a British tabloid, he’s a father. Baby-faced and only 4 feet tall, the boy, Alfie, was just 12 when he impregnated Chantelle, now 15, The Sun reported Friday. Shown in a video posted Friday on the tabloid’s Web site, the diminutive Alfie takes the newborn girl in his arms.

Asked what he would do to support the child financially, Alfie asks in a small, high-pitched voice, “What’s financially?”

The girl was taking birth control pills but missed one, the newspaper reported. Friends and relatives left the family home near Eastbourne, about 70 miles southeast of London, Friday without speaking to reporters gathered outside. The teenagers could not immediately be contacted.

The Sun did not say whether any tests were conducted to prove the boy’s paternity. The paper did not offer any immediate comment when asked whether it had paid the family for the story.

Police and child services in Eastbourne, in southeast England, said in a statement that they were “aware of a 14-year-old girl that had become pregnant as the result of a relationship with a 12-year-old boy,” adding that they were offering support to both young people.

Alfie’s front page picture has sparked renewed debate about teen pregnancy in Britain. The country has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in Europe, and government figures show that about 39,000 girls under age 18 became pregnant in 2006. More than 7,000 of those girls were younger than 16.

“I don’t know the individual details of the case, but of course I think all of us would want to avoid teenage pregnancies,” Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Friday.

Britain had 27 births per 1,000 women aged 15-19 between 2000 and 2005, according to a report published by Population Action International. Comparable figures are 10 per 1,000 for Spain, 8 in 1,000 for France, and 5 in 1,000 for The Netherlands.

Britain’s teen pregnancy rate, however, is still far below that of the United States, which registers 44 births per 1,000 women aged 15-19 and are more line with English-speaking countries such as Australia and New Zealand, which respectively have 17 and 27 births per 1,000 women between 15 and 19, according to the report.

But the country’s reputation as Europe’s teen pregnancy capital has been an embarrassment to politicians.

In 1999 then-Prime Minister Tony Blair described Britain’s record on pregnancies as shameful and vowed to turn it around.

“Put simply, you are still a child when you are 14 and, in a civilized society, children should not be having children,” he said at the time. The government has since poured millions of pounds (dollars) into advertising and educational campaigns.

Brook, a U.K. group that provides sexual health advice to people under 25, said teen pregnancies had fallen by about 12 percent since 1998, but more had to be done.

“It can be easy to concentrate on young women but young men need as much support and information,” Brook’s chief executive, Simon Blake, said.

In a move last year to tackle the high teen pregnancy rate, British education officials announced they would start introducing sex education earlier in English schools. Beginning next year, children as in grades as low as kindergarten will be given basic sex education.

Tony Kerridge, of the sexual health group Marie Stopes International, praised the move, but local lawmaker Nigel Waterson said the pregnancy raised “huge questions” about whether British children were being educated about sex — at the expense of learning about healthy relationships.

Chantelle and Alfie have reportedly pledged to raise the child as best they can.

“We know we made a mistake but I wouldn’t change it now,” Chantelle was quoted by The Sun as saying.

Alfie’s father, Dennis — who reportedly has nine children — said his son told him it was the first time he had sex. He was reportedly allowed to sleep over at the girl’s house.

“It hasn’t really dawned on him,” Patten, 45, was quoted as saying in the paper.

“I will talk to him again and it will be the birds and bees talk,” he said. “Some may say it’s too late but he needs to understand so there is not another baby.”

Britain’s youngest-known father was said to be a 12-year-old boy in a suburb north of London who impregnated a young neighbor in 1998.
