objectification of women and me

ok, i can see you guys already rolling your eyes, but hey. let me just say a few words on this. i was slightly piqued when i saw this guy friend's away message: Stand up and be counted or lay down and be mounted. ok now ladies, seriously, does this sound like anything you would ever want to hear? no, i didn't think so. i was just at this awesome music festival in bushnell, il called cornerstone. i went to listen to a speaker give her view on this, and it was in no way feminist or ridiculous, just honest and forthright. she said that women deserve so much more than to be objectified and called "hot." it takes a real man to get to know a woman than to just want to get in her pants. the more she commented, the more sense it made. we are not just some thing to make babies with, we are humans with feelings that are just as important as any man's. so i'm done talking about that, it makes me kind of angry anyway.

hmm, about me. well, it's summer. all i need is an ocean and a few friends, and i'm all set. unfortunately, being in a state that is landlocked, it's a little difficult. oh well. all right, that's enough, i want to see if this worked. hope it does.
