SOPA and PIPA Response for Senator Crapo — Good Enough?

Posted on January 18, 2012 by JennyQ

I wanted a definitive “I will not allow freedom of speech to be taken from the American people or the citizens of Idaho!” but instead I got an email full of political speak. This SOPA and PIPA response from Senator Crapo is not good enough for me. I demand freedom of speech and non-censorship even for things with which I don’t agree. This SOPA and PIPA response from Senator Crapo is political rhetoric. Don’t you think?

My sister and her family have this friend, Yeah Samake, who is running for president of a country! (His name is pronounced “Yay” but it is not redundant to say, “Yay, Yeah!” even though it sounds like it is…lol) It’s crazy to know someone who is taking on the challenge of running for president of any country, let alone one of the poorest countries on earth: Mali, West  Africa.  Where is Mali?, you ask?

Osama Bin Laden. Dead.

My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 terrorist attack and the military members who have lost their lives in the war against terrorism.  While I am grateful for the courage of those who brought justice to the devastation of 9/11, I can’t help but wonder what is going on in the hearts and minds of the wounded victims and the families of the countless dead tonight with the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden.   May you all be blessed and comforted with peace. <3

Distracted by necessity

Posted on April 16, 2011 by JennyQ

This overachiever thing.  It works well when looking at it from the outside.  But from the inside it is quite a different story.   Wanting to do something, anything, to distract myself from the pain.  Overachieving and being a workaholic is a wonderful way to distract myself from the pain. What pain? I don’t even know.  But it is there.  Inside.  Sometimes dull.  Sometimes overwhelming.  I have a hunch it has to do with not feeling good enough. Correction:  feeling like I am not good enough.  Not good enough for anything but perfection; for if I fail, I will surely prove my unworthiness.

My Top 31 Favorite Tweets — *so far

Every once in a while just the right tweet will hit you at just the right time in just the right way on just the right day.  These are the top 31 tweets* which did that to me.  Enjoy! :-) (p.s. 31 is just random — these are most of the tweets I have “favorited” since I started tweeting.  31 does, however, remind me of Baskin-Robbins 31 Flavors.  Maybe 31 is just a good number)
