Text of the page (random words):
ure say what you will about brit but if she deserves anything she deserves that award those who remember an older incarnation of this blog hosted at blogger and now private due to the mountain of personal info contained therein likely recall me speaking a great deal about various aspects of pop culture most notably britney spears that young woman has fascinated me for years first because her overly sexualized image provided rich fodder for a budding academic studying the sex industry and later because we seemed to face similar demons in the realm of mental health over the past decade her videos drove the medium even if she lost that momentum over the last 4 years what she accomplished before her public decline was enough to make mtv executives millionaires many times over the inescapable hook the unforgettable costumes the choreography imitated world wide she may have been nothing more than a puppet but she played her part perfectly people ate it up at this year s vmas she was to get due praise for those accomplishments via the same forum that in 2007 showcased a comeback that was more akin to a death knell for the singer i m sure many people expected to see an over the top tribute in true britney vma fashion in addition to a sincere acceptance speech in regards to the vmas britney has made unparalleled history on that stage the python and the madonna make out for starters we got neither the performance preceding the award presentation was a hyper fast run through of hooks from her music video past performed by young girls dressed in costumes matching those worn by spears in the videos the age of the performers in the routine is more than i m going to take on in this post lady gaga in the drag persona she employed throughout the evening presented the award and after britney was called onstage seemed poised to re enact the unexpected kiss britney once shared with madonna i was uncomfortable watching it britney looked uncomfortable standing there she looked like a girl who knew what she was expected to do and didn t want to she didn t she simply said no i ve already done that kudos to her for not giving in she took to the mic and barely said a word just a brief sentence really to acknowledge the hefty award she was holding and said nothing of the performance in her honor instead she segued into introducing the next performer beyonce this award means so much to me especially on the night before michael jackson s birthday he had such a huge influence on me gaga and our next performer beyonce beyonce and i started out around the same time and just like all of her fans i fell in love with her the first time i saw her from her singing to dancing to acting she can do it all she s a triple threat and one of the most talented people i have ever seen you can watch the entire video vanguard segment here you can read the huffington post s excellent review of it here i sat on my couch mouth agape wondering if that was really it the big tribute the great recognition i couldn t believe it i started to think about comments made by writer poet and mental health advocate bassey ipki the previous day on her twitter mostly suggesting that britney s recent zombie like stage presence was a clear signal that she needed her meds adjusted normally i wouldn t feel it was my place to weigh in on that point hell i still feel weird doing it but after watching her accept the video vanguard award i have to agree her behavior was odd and i ve been there well no i have not been on stage at the vmas in front of the world but i ve been a zombie and i ve had no life in me it looks exactly like that it feels like nothing it isn t life britney s sorted out so much and i hope this is yet another moment she will be able to sort out her life is too good to miss out on it again there is life between zombie and out of control i hope she finds it but that wasn t the only vma tribute that let me down last night although it was the most significant for me personally they also did the requisite amy winehouse tribute i was excited about that one too and after the disappointing britney moment i thought maybe there would be some respite in a moving portrayal of a young artist the music industry lost far too soon in terms of memorial and introduction i was more pleased tony bennett graced the stage and shared footage from a recording session with amy from his forthcoming duets ii album his words were heartfelt and the footage epitomized how i d like to remember her then there was the performance bruno mars covering valerie yes they honored amy by doing a cover of her cover of a song originally sung by the zutons lovely i kept thinking how amazing it would have been if maybe adele did a cover of back to black instead you can watch the full amy winehouse tribute here i hadn t watched the vmas in years probably not since britney shared the stage with madonna i remember loving the show when i was much much younger but i suppose the show lost its luster in direct relation to mtv s loss of interest in playing music videos leave a comment from britney spears media music video lately august 7 2011 tags my name is me

hand is still suffering from some ms symptoms suffice to say everyone who is concerned enraged beside themselves about child sex trafficking should read the linked article please share this with your friends and help get the word out so that we may move forward with helping survivors of child sex trafficking instead of obsessing over its existence via invented numbers and hollywood celebrities real men get their facts straight ashton and demi and sex trafficking leave a comment from activism politics sex work the naked anthropologist june 20 2011 tags anti prostitution anti sex end demand european union feminism laura agustin laura agustin author of sex at the margins and a lifelong migrant and sometime worker in both nongovernmental and academic projects about sex travel and work discussed a new anti prostitution video over on her blog the naked anthropologist yesterday in the one minute video the man meant to be a sex worker though he looks anything but doing the licking acts out feeling sickened by it he brushes his teeth a lot in contrast the women throwing themselves back on his bed look quite pleased just how is this meant to discourage men from paying for sex it seems possible that women seeing the film will think how great it would be if they could hire someone for oral sex though they are always said to want a lot of cuddling and romancing first which is a silly essentialising of female desire in any case the psychology of this campaign certainly shows how anti sex the campaigners are for many of you the video is not safe for work but her blog post is the discussion in said post is priceless 2 comments from activism gender politics sex work sexuality embrace june 18 2011 tags ben sollee cello embrace inclusions by ben sollee from inclusions released 5 10 11 leave a comment from music video yes i am an introvert june 17 2011 tags introvert top ten myths about introverts by jerry brito myth 1 introverts don t like to talk this is not true introverts just don t talk unless they have something to say they hate small talk get an introvert talking about something they are interested in and they won t shut up for days myth 2 introverts are shy shyness has nothing to do with being an introvert introverts are not necessarily afraid of people what they need is a reason to interact they don t interact for the sake of interacting if you want to talk to an introvert just start talking don t worry about being polite myth 3 introverts are rude introverts often don t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries they want everyone to just be real and honest unfortunately this is not acceptable in most settings so introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in which they find exhausting myth 4 introverts don t like people on the contrary introverts intensely value the few friends they have they can count their close friends on one hand if you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend you probably have a loyal ally for life once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance you re in myth 5 introverts don t like to go out in public nonsense introverts just don t like to go out in public for as long they also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities they take in data and experiences very quickly and as a result don t need to be there for long to get it they re ready to go home recharge and process it all in fact recharging is absolutely crucial for introverts myth 6 introverts always want to be alone introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts they think a lot they daydream they like to have problems to work on puzzles to solve but they can also get incredibly lonely if they don t have anyone to share their discoveries with they crave an authentic and sincere connection with one person at a time myth 7 introverts are weird introverts are often individualists they don t follow the crowd they d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living they think for themselves and because of that they often challenge the norm they don t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy myth 8 introverts are aloof nerds introverts are people who primarily look inward paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions it s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them it s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them myth 9 introverts don t know how to relax and have fun introverts typically relax at home or in nature not in busy public places introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies if there is too much talking and noise going on they shut down their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called dopamine introverts and extroverts have different dominant neuro pathways just look it up myth 10 introverts can fix themselves and become extroverts introverts cannot fix themselves and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race in fact one study silverman 1986 showed that the percentage of introverts increases with iq 4 comments from random birthday books may 26

specifically made to protect women from rape it is inserted like a tampon and won t hurt the girl only her attacker when the man thrusts into her the condom clasps down and can only be removed surgically it was invented by south african doctor dr sonnet ehlers and it was inspired when the dr treated a rape victim who said sadly if only i had teeth down there the condom is being given out in
