Put A Bag On This

Censorship sucks.  So do you, Barnes and Noble.

Not everyone "gets" art.  Not everyone "gets" Radiohead either but you are still a friend of mine.

Barnes and Noble, you are not my friends any more.  Oh, you will sell Maxim, Men's Fitness, and Muscles and Fitness, all showing covers full of boobies and nipples, but you want to treat this magazine cover like its porn and put a paper bag over it:

Alright.  So an "androgynous" man appears on Dossier's cover, made to look like a woman.  Am I the only person who saw the Adam's apple?  Am I the only one who saw that this is actually a man?

Barnes and Noble have had a Republican sized shit fit because this is a man with his boobies out and that man not only looks like a woman but kinda lives like one too.  Must.  Be.  Covered.  Up.

Ohhhhh, how provocative.

We have never seen this before.

No.  The world never had a Boy George or a Pete Burns, right?  Middle America better crawl back up its own ass to save itself.  It does not want to get any of this androgyny stuff all over it.  Because that would suck. And it would also mean we are no longer living in the 1950's.

Skye Parrott, Dossier's co-founder and creative director spoke to Jezebel.com, stating:

               "We knew that this cover presented a very strong,

                androgynous image, and that could make some

                some people uncomfortable.  That's partly why

                we chose it.  I guess it made some people pretty

                uncomfortable."

                                

You know what made me pretty uncomfortable?  Mariah with her tits out on Ok! Magazine.  The very same Ok! Magazine Barnes and Noble stocks.  It made me want to projectile vomit.  Now, her husband type's hands are covering the nipply parts, but what say you, Barnes and Noble, to all the man cleavage and nips on the cover of Muscle and Fitness?  Androgyny, bad.  Steroids, good?  Mariah, still relevant?

Pull your head out, Barnes and Noble.  You are suffocating yourself.

If you, as an adult, don't know the difference between art, porn, and trash, then I cannot help you.  If you refuse to teach the children in your life the difference and instead prefer censorship to education, I cannot help you.

Thy Will Be Done

I do not pretend to understand the universe; it will always have its secrets and I will not always be privy to it's inner workings.

Yes, yes, this is me admitting I do not know everything.  Truth is, I know very little.

What I do know is this...

The universe unfolds as it should and neither you nor I can or should try to control that.  Call it destiny, call it fate, call it the path you are on, call it whatever you want, it is all happening as it should.  If you cannot find you way or you lose your way, the mere act of handing yourself over to the universe will grant you resolve.  But beware.  The universe does not always give you what you want but it will give you what you need.  Do not be greedy.  Accept what comes and understand that the universe is serving your best interests.

Don't believe me?  Think this is just more of my zen floating Buddha talk?  Chew on this: three nights ago I found myself at a crossroads with no answers to the questions I was asking myself, literally exasperated with where I was at.  I handed it all over to the universe and simply said, "Thy will be done."

It was done.

Welcome back Captain Celery.  I have missed you.  I have always loved you.

I have also asked the universe to arrange it so that you will never show up anywhere I am dressed in a Borat mankini.  I don't care how sexy your furry nipples are!
