t'is only a practice iPhone post . . .
test post from the iPhone using the Blogger app . . . because I'm an app whore now . . . and because I need a break from briefing cases.
Hell. Let's try a pic as well, while we're at it. My office building housed prostitutes back in the day. Now, lawyers are in some of it. Below is an original "picture" window showcasing a super cool whore collage with stuff from the old days when the trade was regulated here. I love my building and the people I work with in it.
Hope you're happy where you work and with the company you keep there as well!! xo, g

please don't throat punch my totems . . .
Newsflash:
Hannah
Montana wasn’t real. "She" was a Disney character played by a real girl.
It’s difficult watching
our childhood totems behave in a way that doesn’t conjure the fuzzy memories we’ve
vested in them. Even more so watching our children’s totems do the same. Miley Cyrus is an adult and Hannah Montana was
a character she played as a child. The
responsibility for whatever you or your daughter might be feeling about her VMA
performance isn’t on her – it’s on you.
You may not have enjoyed it. It
might not have been your flavor. But to
lay on the young woman’s shoulders the pressure of having tossed your kid out
of her comfort zone (and you out of yours) is ridiculous and
infantilizing. You should be ashamed of
yourself. You have too much time on your hands and your coping mechanism has a
serious screw loose. People like you
scare me – you who jump and judge incrementally – you cause harm.
Miley Cyrus has a
family to jump her if she needs jumping – the rest of you (including you, foam
finger dude) need to leave her alone.
The criticism of her performance was cruel – criticism does not have to
be cruel. She’s young and finding her way - no need to be hateful.
My baby girl loved
Hannah Montana. We watched a lot of Hannah
Montana at our house and though I have not asked her yet what she thinks of all
the fuss – when I do, I’m certain she’ll say she likes the “old”
Miley better but that the entertainer is entitled to live her life as she
pleases and everyone should STFU about it.
My Hannah Montana loving baby girl is in college, married to a Marine
and facing the second deployment of this much loved young man. If I could beat up on Miley Cyrus for causing
my kid’s worry – trust and believe I’d throat punch her along with the rest of
you – but at some point over the next several months, my girl and I will curl
up on the couch, lace fingers, eat whatever we feel like eating and watch
Hannah Montana. We will time travel and
things will feel for a brief moment exactly as they did when she slept safely
in her mother’s house – away from adult things and grown-up worry. This is the magic and the reprieve of our
totems and I’ll be damned if I burn one of my daughter’s – and through her – one
of my own.
