The Cajun people are resolute in their love and worship of the crawfish.
Look at this motherfuckin' crawfish, bitches!
Marinate on this one. If a woman hires someone to kill her estranged husband and his new girlfriend, it is acceptable; she can just rest at home for three years. On the other hand, if a man steals crawfish, he can bet his thieving ass that he will sit in a jail cell for two years.
Even without me, there is never a dull moment in my hometown, folks.
As the self-proclaimed reader of banned books, I am often asked to name my favorite banned book and explain why I love it so. Longtime readers of this blog know that Harper Lee’s coming of age novel To Kill a Mockingbird has impacted me not only as a woman, a parent, and an educator but more so as a human being. Lee’s powerful words resonate with me each time I read the novel and long afterward. I learned as many lessons about courage, compassion, and self-awareness from Atticus Finch as his children Jem and Scout did.
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
This simple yet crucial bit of advice should govern all of our lives. I try to live my life by taking time to see things from every perspective. We all struggle with trying to live with sympathy and understanding toward others. If you have never read To Kill a Mockingbird, there is no better time than the present. It is a timeless reminder that tolerance and compassion for all is just as clear today as it was 50 years ago.
Thank you, Miss Nelle Harper Lee, for enriching our lives.
I started seven different blog posts today, but none of them seemed to fit what I wanted to say. Hell, I’m not exactly sure what the fuck I wanted to say today either. I spent an extensive portion of the day online looking for inspiration. When all hope was gone that I would post two days in a row, a light bulb moment occurred. My alter-ego whispered to me that I should review what I learned from others on The Internet today while I was lurking.
And, so it came to pass, Twtter, Plurk, and Facebook provided me with blog fodder.
1. I pledge allegiance to The Saints, and to the great city of New Orleans; and to The Super Bowl, for which we will win; One city, below sea level, under God; with Mardi Gras & alcohol for all!

Though my sculptures are quite small, it’s important for people to realize that I am life-size. Of course, at times, when I’m working on a piece, I might come to believe that I myself am microscopic. That’s how involved in my work I become. My tiny world becomes everything to me.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I have been interviewed by my favorite Emerald City Guy after I stalked him like a crazed fag hag for months now. I so love the gays, especially Chris. Swoon. He even inspired the title in his response to my psycho hose beast stalker application.
1. If you were forced to relocate tomorrow, where would you go and why?
I already know I am going to hell because my latest rant created a wee bit of controversy and backlash. Although I am going to hell, I know it will be kick ass because all my friends will be there.
2. We all know that you’re a psycho hose beast, tell us about one situation that exemplifies this name.
Jesus on a stick! Just one? Don’t you read this blog? Have you read PSA to My Fucktacular Boss? or any of my Monkey Boy posts? or the posts to the wannabes? Visit my archives. I dare you.
3. What is the worst part of living in Las Vegas, the best?
The worst part of living in Las Vegas is the graffiti. It is an eye sore and a commentary on the apathy of today’s youth. I would like to see the local government take a tougher stance on this crime as well as more community outreach programs for troubled youth.
Conversely, the best part of living in Las Vegas is it truly is a 24/7 town. There is never a dull moment or nothing to do (if you are an adult). I do not think it is the best place to raise kids, but I am a small town girl with small town values at heart. Many of my friends are doing great by their children here … no haters need to respond to this opinion.
4. We both worship at the altar of the sushi temple. What is your favorite sushi?
Hamachi (yellowtail tuna) sashimi is my all-time favorite, but I do have an affinity for uni (sea urchin) with a little quail egg on top. I will try anything once.
5. You have a 10 minute snatch and grab shopping spree at the store of your choice. Which store and what do you hone in on?
Borders … a banned book or two, of course.
Don’t forget the rules….
