Sexuality

So I just wanted to get some more thoughts down, since this period of time is both weird and unsettling, and also deeply familiar.

It's weird and unsettling because I thought by now, I'd never again have to feel so scattered and unsure. It's familiar, because once again for the millionth time in my life it feels, I am scattered and unsure.

Kiki Kannibal has basically been sexually harassed and terrorized on the internet for the past 5 years, since she was 13 years old.

Oh man, I just woke up. This is not going to be good writing. Just FYI.

I am going to try to extend the Ashley Madison bit I was doing a month ago. I'll need some help to round out my list though, so please read on.

Avid Life owners of Ashley Madison wanted to run an ad campaign on the TTC using streetcars that read, "“Life is short. Have an affair”. Sadly the TTC said no, and I could work to insert a joke about how maybe a scintillating ad or two would wake up sleepy employees, but I won't oh maybe I just did.

Anyways, fresh from that controversy, the company would like to now, take Ashley Madison public and list it on the TSE (Toronto Stock Exchange).

I would *so* love to demonstrate my faith in infidelity, by helping Ashley Madison become blue chip stock. Then again, the company doesn't need my help, adultery is no fad, it's going to be around for a long time, as long as there's marriage right?

The part that really cracks me up is when the author discusses the TSE's reluctance to list Ashley Madison for biblical reasons:

"Even Bay Street, with its well-documented zeal for any money-making idea, is struggling with the idea of backing a company premised on breaking one of the Ten Commandments."

Here are the 10 commandments and a list of the associated publicly traded industries that could perhaps anger Yahweh. I feel like my list could be longer, and there are a few commandments that I couldn't think of industries for, so if you have any suggestions leave them in comments, thanks.

1. : 'Thou shall have no other gods before Me.'

The entertainment industry

2. : 'Thou shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness
of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

Home movies, photography etc, Kodak, Nikon etc.. Basically any authoring tools, so I guess this section would have to include both Microsoft and Apple, and maybe Facebook, Myspace, Flickr etc.. since that's where we all post our graven images on a daily basis.

3. : 'Thou shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

Did I say entertainment industry already? Internet and self-publishing ventures.

4. 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

Any business that is open Saturday or Sunday. Any business that offers customer support 24/7. Hydro-electric companies that produce the electricity we use to power our homes on the day of rest, those bastards.

5. 'Honor your father and your mother.'

To be honest I am not sure about this one. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

6. 'Thou shall not murder.'

The Military-industrial complex

7. 'Thou shall not commit adultery.'

Ashley Madison would go nicely here

8. 'Thou shall not steal.'

Currency exchanges. Buying debt. Again, someone more familiar with the language of high finance could probably throw in a few terms here.

9. 'Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

Traditional media, especially Fox News Network

10.' Thou shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not
covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his
female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything
that is your neighbor's.'

Again, I need help with this one, also I need to go to work, so coments once again, are welcome

goodbye and god bless, and thanks for your help.

So it's early on a Saturday morning, I have several hours to kill before breakfast plans materialize, so I finally have some time to think about that post I wanted to write a few weeks ago:

So tonight, a post about gender, appetite, weight-lifting, saying yes, and being alone. Wait for it....
