Quality vs. Quantity

Is it better to have 5 minutes of really good sex or 2 hours of really bad sex?

This question arose recently and, having experienced both, I really can't decide.

There's more potential for short periods of good during marathon bad sex.

But 5 minutes of good is all good... just short and that can be changed with patience and effort.


What a conundrum!

Order Of Canada

Two previous recipients of the Governor General's Award: The Order Of Canada have returned their awards in protest of Dr. Henry Morgantaler being given this prestigious award.

Dr. Morgantaler has been a life long advocate of woman's rights who is most notorious for his part in the legalizing of abortion which finally came about in 1988.

Dr. Morgantaler opened his first abortion clinic, illegally, in 1969 in Montreal. He even spent months in jail as a result of this.

This man devoted his life to legalize abortion and womens' right to choose. Because of him women all over Canada have the option to have a safe and legal abortion. The statistics of death an illness due to improperly performed abortion has decreased significantly thanks to this man.

This is why he was awarded the Order Of Canada last week. Since then, both a priest from BC as well as a worldwide Catholic Charity group founded in Renfew ON called Madonna House have returned their Order Of Canada medals to the Governor General.

The latter of the two has been staging a peaceful protest outside of the Governor General's Residence since this morning.

What I want to know is why we can't just live and let live?
Even if abortion was illegal people would still do it and the complications would be greater.
I would think that even to an anti-abortion lobbyist legal abortion would be the lesser of two evils.

I'm really losing patience with the ignorance of these right-wing sanctimonious Catholic conservatives.

I'm not going to protest the thousands of years of opression of women outside of your congregation. So why not quietly return the medal without the media stink?

By the way, it's extremely rude to return a gift to the person who gave it to you.

Accidents Happen

I had a shitty Canada day.

At the end of it I get an online message followed by a phone call from one of my best friends.

She informed me that there had been an accident and one of our mutual friends drowned today.
His name was Pete and they were very close.
He and I were not. In all honesty.. there were times when I couldn't stand the guy, but I liked him.

The last time we saw eachother was on Saturday. A group of us were going to go to the beach, but it was raining. He offered me a cigarette. We all smoked and talked in the backyard of the home he shared with his sister and girlfriend. He told me that I looked very nice.

You hear about these things in the news; Strange recreational accidents, (ATV's, Bikes, Watercrafts) but you never think it will happen to you or someone you know.

Chances are that you'll be hearing about this accident on the radio for the next few days.

Rest in peace, Peter.
My memories of you will not be lost

Let this be a lesson. Wear a helmet/life jacket/protective gear suitable for whatever you're doing. It could save your life.


I am a little bit preoccupied right now and can't promise that I'll be finished the article on penis size before this weekend.
I'm going to have to see how this week pans out.
Obviously, I have other priorities at the moment and I do hope you understand.
