| Life is living? I really don't know what to write tonight. I do know that I really like this picture of Connor I took today:
Maybe I'll try some writing exercises again. I'll Google some up. I think I got it. I'll go to digg.com, find the most interesting article on the 2nd page, and write about it. Here goes:
Visiting digg.com......
Washington station airs bare breast self-exams - (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33548488/ns/entertainment-television/)
Of course I picked the sexy one.
Ok, so this is a story about a TV station that decided to air a two-part series about breast exams. The hang up is that they are showing uncovered breasts (boobs from this point on) on cable television. On ABC none the less. Oh my, they should not do this!
Just kidding. They should totally do this.
I wish America as a whole would just get over it's fear of boobs. Why is it such a big deal? I myself am not a woman, so I don't know the feeling. But the feeling is part of the problem. We hide away boobs. Under shirts, bathing suits. If a guy gets hot on a Summer day, off comes the shirt. But a woman, in public, in most cases has to keep the shirt on. Even women walking around in bras are often called out to cover up.
Now for the TV program, it's for a self-exam. Something every woman should know about. I don't know why you would censor that. Oh, maybe we could make a computer graphic that showed how to do it. Come on, it's science, and it saves lives. Let it be broadcast without people getting upset.
Now lets take a look at this from a different angle. My wife works in a 8 floor office building. So lets create an example. She and I are walking up to her work. She needs me to take something back to the car or something. Anyway, we get into the elevator, and lets say a woman completely topless walks on. This would be totally unexpected, and of course, I gawk. I can't stop looking, I'm just amazed. Boobs, just out in the open like that. Smack, my wife just hit me.
But of course, this is the first time it happens. That is exactly as it would happen. You let any woman do it, and lets say a lot of them start doing it, there are going to be lots of people with their jaw on the floor. Car accidents, the whole 9 yards. But this is caused by the shock of it not happening before. What if that happened every day?
Lets use the cleavage example. Lots of women love to show it off, some to the point that even women can't help but look. That's something I and lots of other guys get drawn into. Every time you see it, you look. And you judge, and then it's gone. But you still look. I wonder if bare chested would be the same. Cleavage is a little bit of a gift. Not all women use it. Lots of women just cover up that part. Some can't show it properly, some show way too much, some because their beliefs say you shouldn't. So I'm thinking topless would be the same.
 But after the initial shock, it would just be there. Boobs are power for women though. They may not want to give that up. How many movies or TV shows have you seen where a woman exposes her boobs and the guy is in total shock. Wide eyes, mouth hanging open. That's power. They can render our sex into mindless zombies. If anyone could expose their boobs, then alot of that power would be taken away.
Now at work, this probably shouldn't fly. No cashiers at Target should go topless. But come on, why not beaches? Pools? Parks? Have you seen a modern Bikini?  What part of that really hides away your body? Sure, it covers up the intersting areas, but anyone with an imagination can see though that. Bikinis are like ultimate clevage.
So, in conclusion, what do I think should happen? I think boobs should be shown on TV without any hastle, and women should be able to go Topfree at the beach and pool. If you are against that, people should form a private pool with a dress code.
That was fun to write about.
Goodnight.

| I just haven't payed that much attention to the weather. At first I said to myself, wow, it's fall. Now all of the sudden it's deep into the season. Lots of rain lately, but this week we had a high in the low 70's. Last week we had a few days of 30's with some flurries.
I took this picture as I was driving on PA 56 on my way home from work one day this week:
What I have noticed is a decreased time to spend outside. I just haven't been so eager to get outside. I put away some of the pool stuff Thursday night, and I still have to lower the water level and drag the filter tank into the basement. I need to put all of the cushions for the furniture into the shed. And of course I just cleaned it.
My Flickr account has become a bit boring as well. It's all me. But that's all I really shoot lately. I feel uninspired in my photography, but by first purpose for taking pictures is to record things. Like this fall scene, soon enough it will be Winter, maybe covered with snow, but certainly no leaves.
Tis the season.

| Exercise 1 – Write whatever’s on your mind in 60 seconds I'm tired. It's a little after midnight and I better get to bed. If I don't get to bed soon, I'll be very tired tomorrow. I've got alot to do at work, but at the same time it's not that bad. I think I can get alot done tomorrow on the Stanford website. Rachel went to bed almost an hour ago. I must leave this computer!
Exercise 2 – Write about yourself in the moment using all five senses Touch The seat of this chair is warm. My feet are cold. This keyboard is nice, it's similar to the one I have at work. I'm surprised it still works, it is probably 7+ years old.
Taste I taste nothing, nor am I hungry. I will have to brush my teeth soon.
Smell I smell nothing. My sense of smell is not overly sensitive anyway.
Hear I can hear the sound of the computer running, the sound of my typing, and the sound of the blowup yard decorations running outside. They use alot of electricity. I wish I had the motivation to put them on a timer. I wish I had the motivation to sell my chrome rims on Craigslist.
See I see my computer screen. This one is a CRT, a flat panel to my left. I have no idea why I use this one, it's actually alot blurrier than the other. But for some reason, I prefer this one. I think it's because I sit more naturally. I see that my iPod Touch is on. I'm going to turn it off. I see I have no mail, but that's not unusual for this time of night.
