Would you see a fleeting Rainbow ... or a label?

It matters little to me if people have presumptions about my sexual orientation. (I'm not screwing anyone so whatever) but It does matter to me if people draw these conclusions
because they assume I'd label myself. What I
am trying to say is... if I were to
use a rainbow back ground on this page
would you assume I am telling the world
that I am gay .
No. I am not Gay. Yes I have No opinions about
the sexual orientation of others, who they
choose to be happy or miserable with.
Straight or Gay Judgements are NOT
where this Rant was Born!!
I'd say this because a natural optical phenomenon
dating back to the first ever set of seeing eyes should not be
limited to being an icon or a label. So this post is
for everybody or anybody that uses a rainbow image as a
label to make public their sexual preference... and to
everybody and anybody that assumes that a rainbow is always and only the
aforementioned label.



When I was a little girl I loved to draw colorful pictures. Crayons, colored pencils, water colors - always used up fast. The problem was that I didn't have a "knack" or natural talent for drawing. I did however find that a simple house, yard, A sunny and blue sky with a cloud or two was easy and the only ridicule that my older sibling gave me about them would be regarding the color I'd choose for the house. (I settled on brown because I hated feeling stupid all the time).

Eventually I grew bored with this same scene. I started adding rainbows. I probably drew thousands of rainbows. A lot of times rainbows by themselves. As I got older I collected rainbow stickers, wall hangings.... (unicorns with rainbows). My school binders had rainbows on them. Rainbow designs were my favorite and usually picked them over any others. I even had a white shirt with a big ol' rainbow on the front of it that I wore often. ( I have a picture somewhere with me in it... ) Would you believe that nobody thought I was gay? A lot of my friends and classmates loved rainbows, also.

In southern California rainbows were few and far between.
I believe far more people stop to view the rainbows than "stop to smell the roses".
The sight of a rainbow in the sky is a fleeting beautiful occurrence not to be taken for granted.

Now if I wear a rainbow, display anything with a rainbow or decorate anything with a rainbow... it would be labeling myself as gay. A lesbian badge, so to speak.

How arrogant and presumptuous for a group of people who believe that their personal sex lives are who they are to claim something like the rainbow as an icon.
On the other hand, have they considered that they've chosen a label lacking actual substance, or depth?

A rainbow does not actually exist at a location in the sky, but rather is an
optical phenomenon ...

An optical illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that, at least in common sense terms, are deceptive or misleading.

To this I say:

RELINQUISH THE RAINBOW!!!!!!

BOWLING FOR TAMPONS

Why do people believe that there is some sort of obligation to hook up with someone just because there is no one else available? Sorry. I wasn't hungry; I'll pass on the crab and Loin chop. No really, thank you...

A so-called friend of mine tried to tell me that I am to quick to go inward not being open to the opportunities to what "I need" I dont NEED anything. He believes I need him. He is wrong.

I am always very outspoken and clear that:
I'm not interested in laying, staying, or obeying.

He gave me the impression he understood by actually saying :"I understand your aversion Mel"


He forgot to tell me however, what his continuing expectations were as a "friend". He expects "at least deserves" someone to be his emotional tampon and his biggest fan all at the same time.


Sorry I don't like bowling all that much. Nor will I miss not laughing and won't miss being expected to to powder his ass and tell him that its special!!

My disdain and loathing of the bullshit scenario of " significant other" is unlikely to cease anytime soon. I refuse to buy into that shit any more... and I wont fuck to fuck, either.

Thanksgiving at Black Angus

My brother (left), my mother and Step Sister Sheryl on the right. You must agree this is a great picture. I risked my life to get this shot ... (I was standing in the middle of the parking lot entrance) and it was worth it.
I was my Family's personal Paparazzi last night.

Who was the Ad wizard that came up with this one?

We all hate those annoying banner ads and pop ups... (don't we?) Even with the pop up blocker somehow advertisers like casalmedia still pop up.

Well I was just reading a news story on kgw.com when a man walked onto the lower left side of my screen and asked me if I was in the market for a truck. (no I haven't been drinking and I'm not high.)

He was wearing a T-shirt with toyota.com on it. I have to be honest, I was not annoyed.
I was amazed, it a Man standing inside my monitor, almost looked 3d. I was just sitting here with my mouth open. I didn't click on his shirt because I'm not in the Market for a truck, but impressed none-the-less.

Then he just faded away like Bewitched or Genie.

Very clever advertising with state of the art marketing tools, if you ask me.
