X is for Xenophobia

X is for xenophobia.
I started worrying about my x,y,z posts a few days ago and went on a hunt for 'x' words in Wiktionary. I found
xenophobia and thought it was certainly a timely word to explore given the issue of illegal immigration. Are those who are in favor of a stricter adherence to current immigration laws xenophobic?  Xenophobia is defined as  deep-rooted antipathy towards foreigners (Oxford English Dictionary). The Dictionary of Psychiatry defines it as "a fear of strangers". I'm sure this label could be applied to some but certainly not all who call for illegals to be deported. X is for xenophobia, now I'm searching for those y and z words for Friday and Saturday posts!

K is for Karma

According to Wikipedia Karma usually refers to the concept of destiny (loosely speaking) in Indian religions. 


I've often said, 'Karma's a bitch'. or told someone, 'that's gonna bite you in the ass'. Most often referring to the bad side of karma. What I often forget is that karma isn't always about the bad, but can also be about the good you put out there that is supposed to come back to you. That's the kind of karma that I need more of.  Good Karma... we all need more!

F is for ...You know what F is for!

     I know some of my closer friends and family know that my favorite 'f' word is...well it's the f word. Of course it is. I mean if my favorite 'd' word was damn, then it just sorta goes without saying that my favorite 'f' word is fuck. Do I  really want to fill an entire blog post with fuck?  How do I write a blog post about my favorite 'f' word without writing it? I really can't and now that I think about it, why do I care if it's all over this blog post.
      I say it out loud A LOT! Is it worse to write it than to say it? I know many of my friends and family are offended by it and yet, I say it in front of them. Why should I give my readers any more consideration than I give my friends and family?
     I'm just an all around potty mouth. I didn't start with the potty mouth until I was out of college and living on my own. I was actually living with my cousin Pam and I think she was the bad influence. Yep, I'm gonna blame it on her! I NEVER said Fuck until I lived with her and my nasty mouth is all her fault! Thank you Pam, you outgrew the potty mouth, I didn't!
      I hope I don't run off any of my new readers/followers with my potty mouth.

D is for Damn

Yep D is for Damn. It's one of my Favorite words. I use it all  the damn time. It conveys so much meaning and the meaning really depends on how you say it. So here goes my attempt at describing how I use the word and some variations of the word...
short and sweet dammit - shows frustration
long and drawn out daaaammmmn  - shows awe
loud and rough DAMN - shows anger
Just Damn!  - shows excitement and/or approval
Those are some of the ways I use my favorite word! Just Damn!
