Okay, so the title of this post makes no sense with the post content - until you see the picture in the news story. Then, for those of you who know about the Sleeper, well, it makes perfect sense. (;

The News Story

My thoughts - um, wtf. Um, hello?! Dude. This is your EYE. You know, those things you SEE with?! It's one thing to risk scarring on the rest of your body. It's your body, whatever. But - your eyes? Are you nuts?! You could go blind. All for the sake of - well - what? I'm not really sure. Being the koolest kool kid? I don't get it. Ew. Sorry.

Anyone touching my eyeballs is out of the question - unless it is medically necessary. There's a reason doctors won't do this, people. They don't want you to go blind. Oy! >___<

Okay - flame on! Tell me I'm just a prude and 'just don't get it'. Go on. (;

OH! Let's have a poll too. HA! (;

I was looking through the Sunday edition of The Washington Post - because I'm getting it for free. (That's a long story. (; ) And I came across the following story.
Walter Reed's Cold Shoulder by Tamara Belden
(Hopefully, you can view this link. If not, I'll send you guys a login for you to read the piece.)

I was astounded at her experience. Especially given I am blogging for a IAVA.org/" title="IAVA">military charity for the Blogathon. At every website I visited when searching for an appropriate charity for this year, so much was said upon giving the wounded soldiers the most basic of help - someone to talk to, basics of life - like blankets and books. And yet - here is a group of people literally told to bugger off when they wanted to do just that.

Why?!

I know I am not going to get an answer. It's not like the people at Walter Reed actually read my blog. (Not to mention all the Christmas cards I sent to them this past Christmas were RETURNED to me because of increased security - as I had addressed them to 'any' soldier and not anyone specific. UGH. That's a whole other rant....) But - please, someone tell me why we are implored to help our troops as often as possible with as much as possible - but then have problems like Tamara's? (And mine?)

Only a celebrity could get away with this nonsense. If it were me, I'd be fuckin' fired.

Paid Leave for Vick

Well, if not fired, any leave I take would not be paid. Goddammit. When will we stop treating these people like royalty when they do shit like this? Sorry. Allegedly. They need to be treated like anyone else. Paid leave. Whatever.

So - angry. >___<
