I'm actually really excited about tomorrow. I work a half day, and when I get off I get to go to this rally thing for Kinky Friedman that's going to be held at UNT. Jesse "The Body" Ventura will be there as well. I was told others might decide to show up, but I have no clue as to who those people could be. I'm just excited that I get to meet The Kinky Friedman. Well atleast be in his presence and hear him speak about who knows what. I love political outings. I can't wait until the election, so I can not vote for Rick Perry.Did I mention half day tomorrow?
On a mature note. I saw Jackass this past week, and haven't laughed that hard since. Boys do some of the stupidest things and I really enjoy laughing about it. And I haven't seen that much penis in a long time. Surprisingly, no boobs. Imagine that.
Today has been creepy. Starting with the internal shutdown of my phone. Only to find it on this morning. WTF? The day was strangely slow, and I enjoyed it. Oh and I was late to just about everything today. But then again, that's normal.
Well, I'm out....I just don't have anything else to talk about...

Kinky wrote this in the July 27, 2006 edition of High Times:
"Take it easy now, Kinkster," said Robert Young. "You've had a bad accident and you're in the Cedars of Tedium Hospital. Apparently you were run over by a bookmobile as you were coming out of a men's room in Denver, Colorado. To save your life we had to give you a transfusion using the blood of a person of the Negro persuasion."
"That's moderately unpleasant," I said.
"Well, there's a good side of things, too," said Robert Young. "Your welfare checks should start coming in a few weeks, and your penis just grew twelve inches. Ha-ha-ha."
Until recently, I was a Kinky supporter, but I'm fairly uncomfortable with this. This wasn't 26 years ago. I was just a couple of months ago during Kinky's campaign. At a minimum, that shows poor judgment.
Are you being serious?
Because, one stupid taken out of context quote isn't going to persuade me. And personally, I like Kinky as a writer. And want to meet him because he's Kinky.
Man, I just posted this too. Who is this? Just curious? Do I know you?
And...what exactly are you trying to tell me here? Are you trying to be persuasive?
Who am I? My name is Laura and I'm a UT student.
I'm not tryint to be presuasive, my brother just sent me this story from High Times and it bummed me out.
I was doing some research about Kinky on the internet because of the High Times story and I saw your blog so I dropped in to say hi.
I signed Kinky petition and I was supporting him, and this article was sort of the last straw that broke the camel's back, but it's not the only thing.
There has been a lot of stuff on the blogs about Kinky saying some pretty harsh stuff. Mainly I was not too bothered because the worst of it was in the 1980s. So when I read this more recent comment, it pissed me off.
Like I said, it was the last straw but not the only factor. I was also semi-pissed off about Kinky going on the radio in Houstone and saying he'd sign some law making it harder for women to get an abortion if they needed one. It's not a huge issue with me because I don't see myself ever getting an abortion, but I'd just as soon make that decision for myself.
Also, I'm not on board with the idea of having kids take time away from studying to have prayers in school and his idea of posting the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
None of these issues are huge issues, but they kind of add up. I'm not trying to be persuasive; I'm just bumming.
oh he likes school prayer, cool! lol yo zanne...fun blog....and eFing Addison!
I quit on Kinky when I learned he voted for Bush in 2004 (WTF?) and said Bush was doing a good job in the Middle East.
kinky is supposed to be at TWU this morning too
First of all, thank you for reading my blog. I don't normally have random readers, and I find that neat. I did meet Kinky today, and low and behold he was called a racist, by some not many, but being in his presence and watching him defend himself with such grace, I just don't think so.
He spoke, and when people were booed for their (what I think) were frivolous questions, he asked the audience to shut up, and let his guest speak. He wanted to know what we had to say, and didn't back away from any question.
I do appreciate his willingness to stay behind and talk to whoever individually, and sign autographs and take pictures. I hope to share with whoever soon.
I appreciate your opinions.
And sadly I didn't get to meet Jesse Ventura. But I did get to have a nice convo with Jewford. And he's really nice as well and funny. And his jacket was just amazing.
