I loved the "Funny Story" (mostly because, HEY I know that girl who realized that it was the menu playing over and over ;-)<br /><br />Also, in my Gender, Crime & Deviance class, we talked about Marijuana and Jamaica. This might be kind of graphic, but it's really interesting. Women in Jamaica have been smoking marijuana during their pregnancies for centuries. They even smoke while they are in labor. There was a huge study published a few years ago that shed some light into their practices. Everyone has "receptors" that receive the drug in different parts of our bodies. For women, the organ that has the highest concentration of "receptors" and receives the highest concentration of the drug, is the uterus. Therefore, when women smoke during childbirth, it helps reduce pain immensely, and helps them relax muscles in order to make childbirth more bearable.<br /><br />I found this to be amazing. I honestly do believe that some people around the world, who have been doing things like this for centuries, don't just do it for kicks! They are smart, and have passed down this important information for generations and generations.<br /><br />Keep writing, I love to read it!!!!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447502634166932762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758716195315523259.post-61972030981829587192009-06-11T15:08:31.215-04:002009-06-11T15:08:31.215-04:00Yeah man, your writing is very good and descriptiv...Yeah man, your writing is very good and descriptive.

The theater was packed, and I ended up sitting next to a ginormous man. Like huge. Not in a super-dooper gross fat way, just in a "I am huge" way.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, about 30 minutes into the movie, he passes the eff out. He ends up lolling his head over, and passes out on top of me. Not just on my shoulder, but his leg was pretty much on my leg, his arm was dangerously close to being inappropriate, and his head was pretty much on my chest. I didn't want to disturb him, he was so peaceful, but once he started snoring, something had to be done. I kept on nudging him rather un-subtle-y, and he would just roll over to this other side for 5 minutes and then end up on top of me again. It was hilarious... and awful at the same time. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you are much more pleasant than a giant-man, but the sentiment is still the same. Good job with the not-snoring, batman.Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143353421499472562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758716195315523259.post-12627048744695492502008-03-05T23:15:00.000-05:002008-03-05T23:15:00.000-05:00Cool blog, yo!I hate how for whatever reason weigh...Cool blog, yo!<BR/><BR/><BR/>I hate how for whatever reason weight = *the* sign of how healthy one is. My mother is pretty small, but her cholesterol is out of control! And I know, sometimes weight really does matter. But I have a feeling that most of the time weight loss isn't primarily about health at all. It's about the perception that others have about our health/lifestyles/whatever.Kiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756212424267059478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758716195315523259.post-26825452706038292892008-03-04T14:49:00.000-05:002008-03-04T14:49:00.000-05:00Alva!
