• So I was going to write about abortion

  but I thought screw that.  Actually I did find out why so many in my family are pro-choice.  When my mom was 6 or 7, one of her aunts died.  I guess now that I am old, they finally figure they can tell me family secrets.  I learned two major family secrets this year and I wonder what else they have in store for me.  Anyway back to my mom's aunt...she had 6 kids already and found out she was pregnant with her 7th.  She and her husband didn't want a 7th kid so she sought out a back alley abortion.  She died from this.  6 kids lost a mother because of an abortion.  Oh crap...I hope this doesn't start a Xanga trend.  We just got off boobs and I've seen a few anal sex posts which are new.  Please don't blog about abortion.
  

  I am saddened by the Packers' loss this afternoon.  They fell apart in the end.  The penalties really kill the team.  Mike McCarthy has no discipline....EXCUSES!  Well I got thinking about how the Packers played the Redskins and earlier in the week I had read an article about one of the last school districts in Wisconsin that had a mascot referring to Native Americans was planning on changing the mascot to either the "Herd" or the "River Bandits".  Why are professional sports teams allowed to keep these racist names?  Indians and Redskins...to me, that's horrible that they are still allowed but then I am 1/16th biased.  The NCAA made a law that any team with a Native American based team mascot had to have permission from local tribal officials in order to retain the nickname.  If schools didn't comply then they would not be allowed to participate in NCAA sports tournaments.  I can only think of two teams that have Native American nicknames, the Florida State Seminoles and the University of Illinois Illini.  The governing body of Wisconsin high school athletics made a similar ruling.  High schools had to obtain permission from the local tribes to keep the mascots.  Most just changed them regardless.  I can only think of one team that has a Native American type mascot and that is my adopted hometown and they are the Chiefs.  One team I played against football against in high school were called the Red Men.  When we played them I extra adrenaline flowing through the veins.  That pissed me off.  How can a school knowingly have a mascot that can be construed as racist?  Then I figured it out.  The school was a conglomeration of three towns in Wisconsin and they named the school after the first three letters of these towns.  It was called GET High.  Serious.  There are some crazy people in one of those towns.  I found a book by a guy claiming that the Garden of Eden was in western Wisconsin but this has nothing to do with the reason why this area is called God's country.  It was even on the cans of Old Style...brewed in God's country.  I always thought if God drank Old Style, he had poor taste in beer.  By the way, Old Style was my first beer.  I was three years old.  My grandfather, who was a rascal, called me into the kitchen where he was drinking beer.  He said, "Matthew, I have this new kind of pop.  It tastes better than that Mountain Dew."  "OK grandpa!"  glug glug glug glug glug glug..."Wow, grandpa this is good"  OK I didn't know any better.  I was three.  Well soon after I finished the 6 pack...no, just kidding, I only had one...my mom picked me up.  I was potched.  I couldn't walk straight and ended up falling down the stairs.  My mom had no clue what was wrong with me as my grandpa sat sipping his Old Style and laughing at my predicament.  He shouted out, "I hope you can wake him up for church in the morning."  Anyway, I figured out why pro sports teams don't change their mascots.  It's all about the money.

  The longer I stare at this photo, the more I realize he is one of my former students but the mullet went to locks of love. 
  
  fuck you, Tea Party
  
  Oh, I thought the Packers had me depressed.

  So what is the moral of this post?  Stop writing about abortion.  Write about anal sex.  Show boobs.  Find me someone to love.
