DU Insomniacs Check In

[Angelus]

It's 12:04 am CST and all is well. Today was a long, uneventful day for me. Thank God it's over.

Tomorrow, I'm going to a car show to scope out the hot chicks that will be there (and the cars, of course).

So...how are things going for you?

[Taverner]

1. I'm on and not sleeping

[JohnLocke]

[WindRavenX]

And about to go for a walk. Today was again boring; played more FFX-2. Miss my boyfriend (a shocker..eh?).
Listening to Bruce Springsteen; feeling crappy.

[Angelus]

7. Feeling crappy, eh?

Join the club. I've been a member since 2001.

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

8. Oh, I joined in Septemeber 2003.

I never got a formal welcome.....

[WindRavenX]

9. I can't shake it

No matter what I do. I can't listen to Beck's "Seachange"; I just bawl.
Ugh.

[Angelus]

18. Try beating the crap out of someone or something.

That always helps me. :shrug:

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

5. 10:17 Pacific

I'd rather not talk about my brother's marine graduation..... :boring:

[realisticphish]

6. yo

1:17 est, in Ohio, and all is peachy
:hippie:

[Wwagsthedog]

10. It's time for a large vodka and ginger ale to start the sleep process.

The day hasn't been so bad but after watching NOW followed by several pages of Micheal Parenti's "Democracy for the Few", I'm a bit stressed out so the libation will be handy and welcome. Morning does need to arrive after some sleep or I'll never keep up with my younguns on the morrow. Prosit and night, night..

[jobycom]

12. I've always enjoyed Tequila mixed with

jolt cola. For some reason, it has mixed results.

[Pachamama]

34. Try being a Fulltime Mom to two little ones-feels just like Jolt & Tequila

...with mixed results...

:hi:

[jobycom]

48. I have been

Feels more like being a zombie.

[jobycom]

11. I'm here. I'm always here. Sleep is a distant memory

from a long ago past. Wassup?

[Paragon]

13. I hereby call this meeting of He-Man Woman's Hater's Club to order!

[Angelus]

15. Here, here!

What's the first order of business?

[LDS Jock]

14. I'm on.. hey Angelus....

what happened at the job interview the other day?

[Angelus]

16. It went by rather well.

I'll hear from them in a day or two if I got the job or not. I am kinda-sorta hoping I don't get it because the hours I'd have to work are 7pm-3am.

[LDS Jock]

19. but didn't you tell them

those are your DU hours?

[Angelus]

21. Haha.

For some reason, that didn't come up. :shrug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

17. ooh...check out the hot chicks

[Angelus]

20. They don't even compare to these hot chicks.

:wow:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. and to think

they don't want you and never will

[Solly Mack]

24. damn

:hi:

[Angelus]

25. Hahaha.

That's a nice (and sad) attempt at a personal attack.

Better luck next time.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

27. You mean they want you?

Prove it

(and your opening post was a nice attempt at continuing to antagonize...you get back what you dish out)

[Angelus]

29. Oh...what's so wrong...

with my opening post? Don't like it? Too bad. It's true. And it wasn't even meant to continue antagonizing. You took it as that.

I was simply stating a fact. :hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

31. Yes...hot chicks is not demeaning...

The internet can be an awakening experience...one that presses your consciousness if you let it.

Let it.

[Angelus]

33. Oh my God.

You are bringing this WAY too far. If a woman is hot, how is it demeaning? She knows she's hot. I've seen women here on the DU talk about how hot men are. So what? Calling a woman hot is not sexist and demeaning.

Get over it.

Edit: Quit adding fuel to the fire. It's going to lead into trouble that me and you don't need to get into (I will if I have to, though). You aren't going to change my opinion on this matter.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

38. You called them CHICKS

you are free to admire any woman you wish...really...stop pretending that is what it is about...you are free to call any woman a CHICK that likes being called that...how about a LITTLE bit of respect to women who DON'T appreciate it which on a progressive message board ( WHAT A SHOCK) might be highly likely?

Get it now?

[Angelus]

39. I'm not directing it towards you.

Or any other woman on this board, for that matter.

Why get so worked up about it?

Get over it. Now.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

41. I get that you don't get it. I get that you said something about WOMEN

and since those women aren't me, it should be OK with me if you speak of them in a degrading manner ( and YES- chick IS degrading),...just because I am not black should it be fine with me if people use the N word too?

Sorry...I am never going to let this slide...really I am not...especially when someone who wasn't even drinking out of a cup when I was working with other women to MAKE SURE women could dress in a HOT manner without always being called sluts or regarded as such tells ME to get over it.

[Angelus]

44. Here. I want you to try something new.

It's called minding your own damn business. It wasn't about you. So...why meddle?

God damn.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

45. It's a public message board

If you said it in your home to someone IN yourhome, I WOULD mind my business...if you said it to your MOTHER I would mind my business...if you should ever get a date with a woman again and say it to her, I will mind my business...if you say it here..I will take you to task.

Get over it. (isn't that the way YOU dismissed MY point?)

[Angelus]

46. Also...

tell me how chick is degrading. You seem to be the only person who thinks it's degrading.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

47. I believe you have indicated you are a student..read this study

Perceptions of and Affective Reactions to Prejudice and Discrimination
Everyday Sexism: Evidence for Its Incidence, Nature, and Psychological Impact From Three Daily Diary Studies
Janet K. Swim, Lauri L. Hyers, Laurie L. Cohen & Melissa J. Ferguson
Three daily diary studies were conducted to examine the incidence, nature, and impact of everyday sexism as reported by college women and men. Women experienced about one to two impactful sexist incidents per week, consisting of traditional gender role stereotypes and prejudice, demeaning and degrading comments and behaviors, and sexual objectification. These incidents affected women's psychological well-being by decreasing their comfort, increasing their feelings of anger and depression, and decreasing their state self-esteem. Although the experiences had similar effects on men's anger, depression, and state self-esteem, men reported relatively fewer sexist incidents, suggesting less overall impact on men. The results provide evidence for the phenomena of everyday prejudice and enlighten our understanding of the experience of prejudice in interpersonal encounters from the perspective of the target.

[Taverner]

32. NSMA....if I ever get in an argument

I want you on my side....

DAYUM! Cold clock ice!

[Pachamama]

36. Oh you boys...Sheesh, they look barely 14 or legal!

Hot chicks? Oh Angelus, what about hot attractive intelligent women instead? :)

[Angelus]

37. They're 19.

Says so in their Stuff Magazine bio. I would never post pictures of women less than 18 years of age (it's sick and unethical).

Hot and intelligent women are my favorite. :)

[Pachamama]

40. 19? - Okay - go have fun....they can ride you instead?

And I've seen your postings before....I know you use Chicks with the meaning of hot & intelligent....

Glad to know they are your favorite....it's much better to be able to have great conversations when your not riding.... :)

[Angelus]

43. Riding can be fun at times, though.

But yes, I do prefer a good conversation with an attractive and intelligent woman. :)

[Solly Mack]

22. I'm up. Can't sleep. Just got back from seeing F911

well, I waited until it finally made it to my itty bitty community.

I'm fairly high from the experience.

[northofdenali]

26. 9:40 pm ADT -

Alaska Daylight Time, which makes NO sense because we currently have over 20 hours of daylight...............

Tomorrow I'm on the bike! Heading somewhere the fire's are not...if I can hopefully find one.

Happy weekend, my DU friends :hi: from the very warm, forest-firey north! :hug:

[Angelus]

28. 20 hours of daylight?

Man...that would suck.

[Kali]

30. yeah but in the winter

cocktail hour starts at 2pm and no pesky daylight till 10!

Where in Ak are you? I spent a winter in Anchorage many years ago - LOVED it - have always wanted to go back. Fabulous people.

[northofdenali]

35. Not once you get used to it - I love it, I just forget to go to bed

sometimes! It really prolongs motorcycle time in the summer.....

We get down to about 3 hours of good dusk in December!

[Swamp Rat]

42. Pretty good, thanks for asking. I just saw F911 today - it was Excellent!

Bernie Ward is on KGO right now. He's been bustin' freeper chops.

[AlFrankenFan]

49. 12:58 AM PST

I have no idea whether or not my day was good or not, all I know is our home is as crazy as it's ever been and now that my sister isn't going to be in summer school anymore it's going to be hell. Tomorrow, thank God, my mom's getting her hair done in Anaheim (funny how she'll drive that far to get her hair done but not to take me to a Young Democrats meeting...:grr:) so me and my dog, Scout, have the house to ourselves for a good 6+ hours. Anyone wants to chat with me, I'm on my sn "LiberaloftheCSA". Peace!

[VolcanoJen]

50. Aquí!

How I wish I could sleep...

[scottcsmith]

51. I wish I was tired about now, and a plug for the Free World Syndicate

Sigh. Well, we all know how it is. I finished up my column for next week, which hopefully will run early next week. It's about yet another right-winger out to stop Michael Moore. I swear, these conservative groups keep coming up with ways to silence Moore and so far, all have failed.

Anyway, thought I'd plug one of the places I have some exclusive columns at, it's called the Free World Syndicate, which is a smaller, grass-roots news portal with opinion pieces, political cartoons, and other features. I'd encourage everyone to check them out.

I cannot say enough good things about my friends over at Counter Bias, another smaller news portal. The site is run by Robert Furs and is truly a labor of love. That's the great thing about the Internet: there are many alternatives to the mainstream press, and Counter Bias is going to be big one of these days. Check out the blog, too, although there hasn't been anything posted in a few days as Robert is on vacation and I have a hard enough time keeping up with my own web site.

[RebelOne]

52. I've been awake since 4:15.

Why am I up? I don't have to go to work today. My body clock won't let me sleep.

[Aftershock]

53. I can't sleep either.

:(

4:15 am on a Saturday morning. It doesn't look like I'll be getting sleep anytime soon. :(

[LastKnight]

54. didnt think you were gettin thru tonight without me did ya?

well, its early morning now. (4:58 by my alarm clock which will be ringing much too soon)
