yes, gumment=guvment
This is a story from a family friend about her and her 4 year old son.
While driving to work after asking me why there was a lady dancing in a statue of liberty costume on the side of the road (Liberty Tax Prep) we had a conversation about taxes and what they were. I told him that the government makes all of the working people pay them money and some of that money goes to good things like schools, roads, bridges, etc. but sometimes that money goes to wasteful things and that makes mommy very frustrated. ‬ ‪His exact next question "So, the gubberment are like robbers that steal your money?" (He has been on this weird "robbers" kick lately – I think someone at school was talking about it)…I was like ummm no that's not what mommy said…Listen again and went into the whole thing again…then he said "I would call the police on those robbers"…Me: "Brayden there are no robbers, its like a bill that mommy has to pay, they aren't really stealing and besides taxes go to pay the police" Him: "The police are ROBBERS?" Me: "For gods sake there are NO robbers, stop talking about robbers, we are not talking about robbers we are talking about the government" Him: "If we don't call the police how do we get them?" Me: "Well, during election time if we think someone has been too wasteful we just don't vote for them and then they can't come back" Him: "Oh that's right I remember, I "choosed" Santa Claus." Me: "What!?! (I am now thoroughly confused) Him: "At school, we voted to see who was best, Santa, Easter Bunny, or Leprechauns, I choosed Santa" Me: "Oh I get it now, well yes like that" Him: "Okay then, so next time don't vote for the robbers and just vote for Santa" Me: "Will do" (mentally exhausted and quite certain he is going to tell his teachers at school that his mommy says the government are robbers).‬ ‪So in one conversation we talked about a dancing lady (who by the way Brayden said had "good moves", tax preparation, the government, police, elections, fictional characters, and it all boiled down to Santa!‬‪Santa for president…at least then I might benefit from all of this "giving".‬‪
2 things i got from that:
1) people believe the gumment=robbers (true that)
2) you still call your mom "mommy" .......
:-D
man kids are so malleable.
curbs, WTF are u on?
Entourage >>>>> Sex + City
The women from SaTC are the exact type of females i try to avoid. they gossip the crap out of you, and have no substance. they would probably rip you to shreds if you showed any interest, and you weren't up to their standards. I find charlotte pretty attractive, and also samantha in a weird cougar sort of way, but the other two have no dice.
E is a show about power, cash money, and hustling. Very relevant to the american entrepreneurial spirit and pursuit of success.
wow you just posted your real picture on here...
now we won't be surprised when we see you @ interviews.
i don't know why i'm not partial to bowties. something about them strikes me as wrong when they are not on 85 y/o history professors.
WHAT!? E is none of that. E is riding Vince's coattails and constantly gets **** for it. E is for Emotional. You described Ari to a T though.

wait women are more than objects??
edit: forgot sometimes women dont handle such comments too well.... so let me take thhhis time to say that i was jk of course please dont track my ip and kill me... i <3 women
And since you're supposed to follow up all fortune cookie sayings with "In bed", this one is especially fitting!my fortune cookie says: prevention is better than cure.
ok ok i was trying not to actually get into this. SaTC and entourage are in the same category because they both treat women as objects to be done and then traded. entourage is up front about it. women rarely actually have a role in the show beyond how a guy is doing her or that she is a crazy woman not conforming to the rich guy's opinion of what a woman should be. SaTC is subtle about it. it is shown from the woman's POV so it seems like it's empowering, but it is also about women being done and traded...the men are given small roles in terms of how the women define them in their lives, which is usually larger than how entourage men define women in men's lives.
SaTC is in no ways actually a good show for women, however i think it's much more realistic in terms of how the world works and sees the sexualization of a culture molding relationships. a show about women written by men is bound to be like this. btw, IV, almost every woman has a role on SaTC that she identifies with, however much she is inclined to deny it. every group has a "charlotte" and a "miranda".
all in all, women like SaTC over entourage because they are the same show taken from opposite point of views. (and SaTC is little older, seeming to be wiser). don't worry, there are girls out there that love entourage and think SaTC is about a bunch of ****** (which....i mean they are quite promiscuous)....but entourage's women are that too, except they aren't given a voice.
lol i'm compelled to reply. I had a class with a feminist who was critiquing modern society, and even today, I disagree on so many levels, and really changed my opinion on modern day "feminists." Feminism used to be such a powerful force that really changed quality of life for women, but now it is attempting to change some of the biological tendencies of women (in an apparent act to become equal), when it actually may not even make women more happy. Let me give some situations.
Biology ignored- This feminist was condemning girls for wearing sexy outfits on weekends to parties and stuff, saying it was feeding the fantasies of men and stuff. Alright, but see it from the perspective of the girl - it's her biological nature to want to be as appealing as possible. Biologically the female tends to wait for a potential suitor to come, rather than being in an active pursuit like the male to find a mate. So, in our society, looking hot allows the woman to feel confident and at ease for the simple fact that she is doing what her biology is telling her is right. Also, she has to compete with the other girls who are also trying to look attractive for potential mates. This is the basis for all the jealousy and comparing clothes and make up and all that stuff.
Biology favored - We were also talking about grind dancing. This honestly made me laugh, she was arguing that girls are degrading themselves by dancing in this fashion. Alright, if this was the logic, why is it okay for guys to do this then? I tried to analyze this, and the conclusion I reached was that feminists are trying to say that females by nature shouldn't be promiscuous for biological reasons (having to nurture a child, seeking 1 mate out of many, etc.). So, in this case they are supporting the biological differences between men and women, yet dont want to create an idealized society where men and women can act the same.
Biology ignored - Big argument now by feminists is how it is okay for a man to choose to sleep around if he so desires, but a woman is considered a ***** for sleeping around. Alright, so essentially the feminists are saying they want to a transform society into making it OK for women to sleep around. Alright, sweet, but my point is, that this is going against the feminist's other argument that women shouldn't be promiscuous due to their biological nature to wait for the best suitor.
My point is, unless feminism stops this pointless stuff, it won't be taken seriously. Focus on things that matter - Rights, Equal Pay, Abortion, stuff like that.
when me meet in real life we will talk about this at length.
treat objects like women lol... thats so wrong on so many different levels.

Studying, eating dinner, putting the kid to bed and finally watching a Netflix movie with the hubs that we've had for way too long.
Mine is an exciting life...
big plans tonight?
going out but knowing me i'll be back by 12....thoroughly saturated with the good stuff
Meh, I was never big on going out before I had a baby. Video games are my entertainment of choice. If we wanted to go somewhere, my mom would watch the babe, but not going out saves us plenty of money, too. 😛talk like that scares the sh** out of me

what? tdurden why does your signature claim drexel class of 2015...?
combined 7 or 8 yr prog?
I think tburden already got in, like he must have deferred for a year, or something like that.
But tburden, becoming a DO is a totally respectable route. I'll be everything an MD is. Titles mean nothing to me.
yes i'm in an 8-year program so i'm in for drexel as long as i don't dip below a 3.5 😆
indianv, what exactly differentiates a DO from an MD then? they aren't physicians in the traditional sense right? i'm thinking the pay-grade must be much lower for DO considering the more lax application requirements & high rate of acceptance..
