No, it’s really none of my business. Honestly.

So, today, I have seen on the internet SEVERAL times the story about MacKenzie Phillips and her pops.
Gotta tell you…I feel the need to shower…yeah, that dirty.
There are just somethings that don’t need to EVER be said, published discussed, drawn or mimed. This would be one.
I have a hard time with the lack of decency in society. I personally have lived my own episode (or two) of Jerry Springer…yet, I would like to think, this chick has reformed.
I don’t lay all my shit bare to folks. I have a select few that I can and will talk to (ad nauseum) and will listen to.
I have neighbors, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, lawn dude, etc., that will tell me the most personal, ridiculous stuff. I mean PERSONAL. what is that? Do they not know they will become fodder for this here blog? Do they not know I will mock them? Ok, Ok, I may change their names or a detail or two, but surely they will see themselves out here.
Point is. Don’t talk about stuff that is gonna make others go “Oh My!” and shuffle off.
- Don’t tell folks you willingly slept with your dad. (eww, eww, and EWWW!!!)
- Don’t tell folks you would sleep with your mother if she wasn’t your mom. (This was way gross!!!!)
- Or your brother.
- Nevermind about the sister, cousins, aunts, uncles….if it genetically linked, I don’t wanna know!!!
- Don’t tell folks you AREN’T sleeping with about your STD’s…it will get you uninvited to EVERYTHING.
Now, I am not a prude, I fly my freak flag proudly, but damn…I don’t wanna know about your bowel movements, monthly cycle, back acne, deviant practices (errr…..wait…). Leave some of it at home.
There are lots of these blogs out here, for creative and non-creative folks. Everyone gets the chance to share their thoughts, feelings, desires, dreams, and it’s great. Every once in a while, I will stumble onto one, read a few sentences, get that look on my face like I was sucking on a lemon and hit the “X” in the corner. Ewwww….
For it to gross me out…that takes ALOT. I mean ALOT!!!!
I got the sensibilities of an 18-year-old boy and the sense of humor of a 12-year-old. I love dirty jokes, laugh at people falling, farting or burping. You know, good clean humor.
My dad used to tell me….“Steph, leave some of it to the imagination.”
The man was a genius. And because of it…I have a great imagination. So, you can skip the meaty parts of some stories, I can make it up . All on my own.
If I need help, buh-lieve me….I will ask, then we can discuss.

I’ve just gotta think that the people who broadcast that stuff are just messed up. If Phillips’ story is true, perhaps writing it in a book and publicising it on Oprah might not be the most functional or helpful thing to do, but perhaps it’s the only way she knows how to heal – she has grown up pretty messed up. Some people just don’t know better ways!

Although I do broadcast the days that I want to have my uterus removed from my bod…on my blog…and on facebook…I only do that for a public service. You know, so people don’t find themselves chopped up and served as my dinner. I never discuss the DETAILS of that whole messy bit of me. I find though that the people in my life who aren’t as classy and sophisticated as you and I are make for some fabulous blog posts.
*runs off to make sure I didn’t really write that fetish post that I thought about*
Stephanie said
no, Queenie…please post the fetish post…cause I am all about the freaky…
there are some things that yeah, ok…it’s your blog, post away…but the fiasco with Julie from One Day at a Time left me needing to shower…it just kept getting worse.
Some things, don’t need to be purged and healed in public…

See, I knew that I liked you for a reason.
