Sonia: You Got It Goin’ Girl

Posted by Michelle Moquin on 15th July 2009

Good morning.

I got off of work yesterday afternoon and I spent over two hours glued to the radio myself listening to the Sotomayor hearings while I sat in my car in the parking lot of Whole Foods and then in front of my house. I did not want to miss a minute of the time I could devote in between my errands.  I was so impressed with Sotomayor. She was so calm and cool, answering with such grounded-ness (word?) and humble confidence while being, yes ‘grilled’. As expected, it was a show of hypocrisy at its best.

Unfortunately for the ones doing the grilling, the grill had no meat. The grillers claim that her speeches were filled with racist remarks, when her words were meant to inspire, was just pure hypocrisy. If you can’t understand the passion of her inspiration, the depth of her statements, or as in the case with these grillers, if your racist mind refuses to, you never will.

Just look at her long history; the cases that she has tried, speak much louder than her words that are being twisted, taken out of context, and misused. Yes, she is an empathetic woman (Yeah a human with humanity!), but it is obvious from her cases, that she is not making decisions on the bench based on her empathy, nor based on her heart. It is clear her pledge of ‘fidelity to the law’ is her driving commitment.

Hmm…’fidelity’ – it is a word that has come up a lot lately in politics. Is it just pure coincidence that in this group, those who claim ‘fidelity’ in their own lives, are also the ones calling her a racist? Like I said, ‘hypocrisy at its best’.

I am proud of Sotomayor. She is a wonderful role model and I look forward to another woman representing our judicial system.

~~~~~~~~~

Peter: I suggest you keep trying. There is not much else you can do.

Hey Zen Lill: Yes…’the learning’…you and me both. The learning has been good and challenging. There is a part of me that sometimes wants to put my head in the sand and relive the saying ‘ignorance is blissful’…but just for a moment :)  Thanks for the congrats – you too Al.

Sally: You have brought up a good point.

Ida and Cathy:  Thanks for reading here, Ida, and welcome Cathy.  I love that you are now sharing this venue together. – very cool. I am sure now that Cathy is allowed to read, your conversations will be taken to a whole new level. There are many interesting topics and people who comment here. Thank you for posting that very interesting story. And my answer is ‘No.’ As much as I am proud to have Obama as our president, I so look forward to a day when a woman is president.  And Cathy, I look forward to seeing some comments from you now that you are of appropriate age :)

Lois: Thanks for bringing up the ‘fun’ part. I know this venue can get real serious, and it needs to. But a girl needs to have fun too. Sounds like you have a sweet hubby :)

Here’s to the beginning of another successful year at “A day in the life of…”

Gratefully your blog host,

Happy Anniversary! The Blog Is 2-Years Old

Posted by Michelle Moquin on 14th July 2009

Well, I blew it again….Just like last year. Can you believe I did it again?….I thought the 2-year anniversary was today, but it was actually yesterday.  I guess from now on, I might as well just celebrate it on the 14th because that is what is stuck in my mind.

Last year I had much to say about this blog and how it has affected my life. And this morning, I am in a different place, feeling a different vibe…..really I’m at a loss for words. So, this year, I am leaving it up to you to give me your two, if you choose. If not that is okay too.

Readers: What were the highlights for you? What were the down lows? What did you learn about yourself? Others? Share if you dare. Or vent if you wish.

Or talk about something entirely off the board. You choose.

I will say that I am always grateful that you read, that you spend your time here when there are so many blogs to browse.  I am always delighted to hear from you, whether in the form of opinions, interesting discussions, exchanging of knowledge, ranting, or just even a simple hello or thank you.

Thanks for hanging out with me these past two years, and being my virtual vitality.

Love, love, love….to all of you.

Blogging out…

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

Brief Blog In

Posted by Michelle Moquin on 11th July 2009

Good morning.

I just want to briefly blog in, say a few ‘hellos’, and then I’m bloggin’ out.

Gleia:  Can you tell us why the Emperor is redeploying ships here?

Iiham & Aghigh:  Madaline is not going to assist any of the men unless the women are guaranteed equality. Why would she when the women will go back to their same lives as second class citizens? It is as simple as that. It is unfortunate and self-centered, to say the least. This time the men can not have their cake and eat it too. Keep working on them. Madaline will continue to back you.  Be safe. My thoughts are with you and I am planning on a victory.

Karen & Cindy:  It seems that my story is a common thread amongst women.  I am touched by the comments from yesterday. That article was probably one of the longest writes I have ever written here. I tried to edit it down and some things I deleted before I posted, because I thought it was way too long. It was really a write for me to get it all out, so to speak. Anyway, I appreciate the gratitude and the source for my inspiration. Without the inspiration, I wouldn’t have ever written my write. I am grateful.

Yolanda:  Yes, so I have been told. And I do take that as a compliment. I have also been told I am very opinionated (said to me by an old high school friend- male), and I take that as a compliment too even if the definition of the word is derogatory. I may express my views strongly but I am open to hearing all others and open to exercising my rights to change my mind too.

Another picture? Hmm….I like to add them spontaneously so who knows when, but I’m sure when the time is right, I’ll throw in a new one.

Zen Lill:  Your ‘trust and verify’? I say, ‘Trust in Allah but tie up your camel.’ :) Yeah, this blog has a way of getting people to reveal themselves in ways they never thought they would. It certainly is that way for me too, and I can’t ever be anonymous.

In regards to ‘mini m’s’ (I like the nick name:) I’m not sure I would say all the sisters were suffering. I certainly didn’t view my one-on-one, one-at-a-time-relationships (long version:), as suffering. At the time I was perfectly happy with my choices. If I felt that I was suffering, I certainly would not have put myself in that position one after the other, after the other, after the other. It was just hindsight many years later, that I may have missed out on something.

Sandy: I love to bbq, and now that the cow has arrived, we fire it up quite frequently.  Thanks for posting the tips.

Laura:  Thanks for your post too. All relationships take some work, but I think the rewards are worth it.

Readers: Have a fab weekend! Blogging out…

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

Chew The Fat Friday

Posted by Michelle Moquin on 10th July 2009

Sabina:  When I read your comment, I thought ‘What is she talking about?’ Then I googled and found that you were not kidding. China Spring Airlines doesn’t have enough planes to meet their demand in flights so they’re taking out the seat and putting in stools.  Ya know like commuter buses, only they’ll have stools and you’ll be strapped in.

“For a lower price, passengers should be able to get on a plane like catching a bus, with no seat, no luggage consignment, no food, no water, but very convenient.”

I can tell you right now, this is not my kind of travel.

Anonymous: I read your comment and starting laughing at how ridiculous the police story was. I had no idea who you were talking about so once again this morning I used the power of the net. Now I know, and by the way, I think your take on it is much more plausible. What a sad and horrible outcome.

Brittany, Toni, Lauren:  You are welcome. It doesn’t surprise me that many women can relate. It is in our nature or maybe our comfort zone too, to be mini marriages. This regret of not exercising my rights does not way heavy on me. I really enjoyed my monogamy. It’s easy to say I wish I had done something different but I can’t miss the learning that I never had, so I move on. The recognition of it and being able to articulate it and understand it is enough for me right now. I know there are many more life lessons that will reveal themselves. There always are :)

Johanne: I feel honored that printed out my article for your girls. I think of what my reaction would’ve been at their ages, and the effect, an article like that would’ve had on me. What would I do differently then? How would my life be different now? Thank you for trusting that I would be a positive influence in their lives.

Paula: All I can say is I’m laughing and honored that my article got some air time.

Barbara:  I don’t know about your daughters situation but it seems you can see something in her marriage that she hasn’t or is not willing to see . Whatever insight this article may bring to her, I am hopeful she will make the right decision for herself.

Vicky: Nothing against therapy; I think it has it’s place in the world. I certainly have had my share of it. But your story is a common one; the 11 years part. I am happy that my write obviously cut through the crap and got to the meat of it for you.

Susan: What a thoughtful son. Thank you.

Lenny: Please tell me you’re joking.

Nancy: Thanks for sharing your story. It would not surprise me if you are correct.

Rona:  I’m not sure that I can say that I am happy that I have inspired women to get divorced. I say that very lightly as I know that I don’t have that kind of influence.  I will say that I have no doubt that it is something that has probably been on your mind and my write has inspired you to look at things differently and possibly take the next step. I wish you well.

TAO: Happy to see your written words.

Afsaneh, Batul, Fakhri: Tell me….Madaline, our ‘genie in a bottle’…Does she have her usual CFM attire, with her DFWM ( don’t fuck with me) attitude?

Oh, peeps I still have more to say  but time is not expanding to meet my needs this morning. I tried to get up earlier but after yesterday’s early rise, this girl needed her beauty sleep. And now I must dress and dash.

Se ya tomorrow…

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

Saturday Speak…So Much To Say

Posted by Michelle Moquin on 27th June 2009

Oh so many topics these past few days. I just want to jump in on the convos and verbalize my thoughts today. Okay?

Choe:  I know of the morning Joe show but I have not had the opportunity to watch ‘Joe’ nor ‘Mika’. But you have peaked my interest and I will try and check it out. Though, I did google Mika and found a youtube video of her on the show. The headlining topic was about Paris Hilton and she was just adamant about not covering the story….wanting to cover real news. I don’t see her as some ditzy T & A blond…oh no you said, ‘hair and tits’…I don’t know. I can’t give a fair enough opinion without checking her out a bit more. I’ll keep you posted.

Anonymous: You obviously do not like her.

In regards to Sanford…I have enjoyed reading all of the comments that you’ve made. I feel bad for his family…to have his affair be so public. He was obviously thinking with the little head instead of the big head as ‘discretion out of respect’ was not in the forefront of his mind. As I said the other day…”most men cheat”. I actually want to retract that statement. I don’t think most men cheat…but I think ‘many’ do. If one is going to have an affair, at least don’t flaunt it. Ok…Maybe he wasn’t flaunting the affair,  but being a public figure, one has to be more careful than the average Joe. Now look at where his oh-so-intimate e-mails have landed him.

But I agree, the worst part of it, is not only that his family has to live with the embarrassment of the world knowing their personal business, but the fact that he is a benchmark for hypocrisy, alongside many other religious rights. I get so tired of the posturing…in politics and here in the personal. Zip the lip….thou is protesting too much. And I agree, the only reason they are admitting and apologizing is because they got caught. Simple as that. But hey, let’s not leave out some of the liberal lefts either – they are not immune from the temptations in life, they just don’t go around moralizing while surreptitiously sexing it up. And yes, I too want to know if our tax dollars have been funding his little affair.

Oh George: I love when you swear and get all worked up. However, your talkin’ the talk is coming up short lately. Your talk usually makes up for what you lack in the sack, but this time I think you measured up correctly.

So…I went to a white trash party a few weeks ago and thought about you. Here I am sporting my fave white trash slutfit, complete with daisy duke shorts, my trucker hat, stiletto sneakers, and a Marlboro stuck in my mouth – your kind of girl right? – So c’mon…use this piece of meat! – Can you handle this bitch? Imagine these legs wrapped around your waist. Oh that’s right…I forgot…I’m not your type. Too bad, I could use a good spanking.

Ah…now where was I? Oh…

Al: Again, you make me laugh. I am not mad at you- your words do not have that power over me – why would they? Your comments border on  the insane and illogical- now don’t be mad at me :) You are simply entertaining. Friends? It is your choice whether we are friends or not by your flip-the-switch attitude. So…where are we today Al?

Anonymous and proud of it: You have made a very good point. You are correct that I would not want my readers to be curbed.  However, am I quietly laughing? I wouldn’t say that.  Would I rather they comment anonymously than not comment at all? Of course. But would I not allow anonymous comments? Never.  I will however admit that I have to make more of an effort to read them and focus on the subject at hand, and let go of making a connection to the anonymous anonymouses. I like the familiar; what can I say? I like the connection because I like people, but I respect the need to be anonymous, even more. So there you have it – Keep it coming.

As far as gays, lesbians, bisexuals, whatever…I think we all have the ability, tendency to ‘swing and switch’. You can be born knowing that you only desire the opposite or same sex, or you can have a bad experience with the opposite sex and veer toward the same sex….or you can have an incredible experience with the same sex and never want to go opposite again. I agree with anonymous #47….Who cares what the percentages are. Live….let live….and love it…whether you are born desiring the same sex or it is a choice. Either way, we all deserve equal rights. Agree?

Batul:  I think that we all can say the same thing in one way or another. And Madaline’s right….we don’t get another life. Don’t let anyone’s desire for you to not have what you want, interfere with getting what you want.

I’m happy that all of you like the tribute to Michael Jackson. Thank you for your kind words. You all had some very wonderful things to say about him too. I didn’t want to mention the accusations as I wanted to focus on just him as a loving, talented person but I knew my readers would address the subject, and I was hoping that you would.

I was never sure if he was innocent from all that he was accused of, but I felt that his actions were innocent, if that makes sense. I never saw him as more than a child myself so it was difficult for me to fathom any loving contact that he had with children as anything more than just pure love. Even if there was sexual nuances, my mind only viewed them as explorations between two children as I never thought of him as an adult….so whatever contact there was seemed pure and innocent. I know that may sound strange as I do not condone pedophiliac behavior but I just didn’t feel that this was a man making advances at a boy, if in fact he ever did, which I seriously doubt he did.

Michael never had a childhood and only wanted to give what he never got. Unfortunately I believe that his love and kindness was greedily taken advantage of. Now I read that the boy, whose father had accused Michael of sexual contact with his son, and who sued and won millions, has now come clean and confessed that Michael never touched him that way. The guilt this child, now a young man, has had to live with for over 10 years because of his father’s greed. And now, in my mind his actions were no doubt a catalyst for Michael’s death – Michael never got over the accusations…his life was spiraling in a downward turn during and after the trials. Can you imagine having the ability to give what he was able to give to children and have it all backfire? He innocently loved and society could not accept his way of showing his love.  It is just so sad and unfortunate.

Zen Lill: I love watching Michael and the Jackson Five sing ABC. The costumes were outrageous! I remember watching the Jackson Five cartoon too – what a hoot that was.  You also brought up Farrah Fawcett’s death  – thanks for mentioning her. I was going to include her in my write yesterday but it didn’t feel right. But Farrah too was an icon. “Charlie’s Angels” was one of my favorite shows. It was the beginning of ‘women power’…and we must not forget her famous hairstyle, that every young girl and woman at that time had to have. Moi included.

Anonz:  Good to hear from you – It has been awhile. Thanks for taking the time to write in – You are good yes?

Robert: I have seen this video before and yes, I agree,  it is still good. Thanks for posting.

And your article….wow. I  learned so much from that read – Thank you for posting that too.  I think this is very much needed. It needs to be recognized that this time in our history is an atrocity that should never have happened. But it did. It very much did. And the ripples that continue need to come to a halt.

And on that note I am halting my write and starting my day. Although late, and posting has been a bitch today, feel lucky that I am able to post at all these days. I have been trying for hours. I look forward to connecting in any way…

…Peace out….

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle
