it’s funny that the suggested topic is about love. i think about that a lot.. but up until fairly recently.. i had a quite extensive time of not dating anyone at all. (for somewhere around the past 6-7 years)

i do think that there is an ‘almost perfect’ match for everyone… but all relationships require work from both sides. i think that ‘perfect person’ would not be perfect.. but have a soft heart… ready to change and compromise and love throughout all those times when it’s the hardest to love. a relationship is not one-sided. a relationship is not without conflict. a relationship cannot survive without a continual love even through conflict.

i also believe that it’s possible to love someone even when you don’t like them sometimes.

there’s my $0.02.

FFAF October

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Tomorrow (10/28) is Free-For-All Friday! Free for All means you can post whatever you want on my blog. Say what you want to say, share a link, complain about household appliances, etc…all you have to do is login and post!

If you can’t think of anything to write, I’ll offer a topic for this month: What are your feelings on finding a person that you love? Do you think that unless a person is perfect for you, they could never be the one for you? Or do you think that nobody’s perfect, so you figure you’ll eventually have to compromise on certain things? I’m really interested in hearing what a few of you fel about the subject.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to http://www.pinkeyedjim.com/wp-login.php
  2. Register an account. If you don’t want to register (but I strongly urge you to do so), feel free to use the guest account below.
  3. If you want to post but not register :Login/Password: guest/freeforall
  4. Click on the “Write” tab on the top left of your screen
  5. Enter a title, check the box for the category “Free for All.” Make sure all other categories are unchecked
  6. Type what you want to type in the box called “Post”
  7. When you’re done, click “Publish”

Rules:

  1. Please keep it somewhat clean…if you don’t think I would post it, don’t. God forbid if I find spam or (non-free) porn links…
  2. Feel free to link your blog or site, so long as it’s not the sort of site that would get you in trouble regarding rule #1…
  3. I reserve the right to edit/delete inappropriate posts (or those with really obvious spelling mistakes)
  4. Do not edit the guest user profile or I will eat your children.
  5. Have fun!
  6. Check out some of these other cool FFAF blogs.

Marijuana Smoking not Lung Cancer Risk, U of CO Report Shows

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

This is from Yahoo! News:

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Although both marijuana and tobacco smoke are packed with cancer-causing chemicals, other qualities of marijuana seem to keep it from promoting lung cancer, according to a new report.

That’s right. No cancer risk.

It turns out that THC doesn’t activate a certain enzyme that nicotine does. This enzyme apparently “converts certain chemicals in both tobacco and marijuana smoke into cancer-promoting form.” Actually THC blocks its production.

So what’s the problem with smoked marijuana as medicine? I thought lung cancer was the only problem. If it doesn’t cause lung cancer, why don’t we simply legalize marijuana as a medicine?

What’s the answer?

Join NORML. I did.
