PEEVE 168-ISH: HAVING NO REAL PERCEPTION OF POVERTY (I have many peeves…)
Young Lovers, I have to tell you there is not much that bothers me more than seeing my brothers and sisters of the world who are of lesser means disenfranchised. I recently posted one of my AureliaBluesDay TUESDAY Facebook updates on this subject. In my post I touted my talent for being able to make a meal out of whatever is available in my fridge and cupboards. At first I was excited to share this accomplishment. I wrote that I typically feed my family of six on about fifteen dollars a day. I’ve always been proud of my ability to keep a strict budget when, and here’s the caveat, there has actually been money in my household to budget. Now that thought brought me right back down to Earth to my humble roots and activist upbringing. I began to think that I was bragging. I don’t want to be that person. I want to be the one that uplifts and prospers others. Or failing that, the person who shines the light on those who are living in darkness, ignorant, spiritual or physical.
While being one who likes to grow good in the world, I have, on many occasions, been unable to do so due to financial constraints. I have also been on the receiving end of hurtful comments and the thoughtlessness of those who have never experienced poverty, and do not understand that it is not only NOT a choice, but almost impossible to get out of without help.
This led me to dig up some old blog posts on a site regarding the “Food Stamps Challenge” of 2007 that was issued by the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JPCA) which I also posted on Facebook. The premise of this project which was to raise awareness of the struggle impoverished Americans face in feeding their families, challenged members of Congress to try feeding themselves for a week on a mere $21. That breaks down to $1 per meal. Their hope was to influence the 2007 Farm Bill as a means of raising food stamp allowances. In the interest of furthering poverty awareness:
Here are some quotes taken from the site containing the blog I cited (the link is: http://foodstampchallenge.typepad.com/ ) :
From the blog entry entitled: Existing on food stamps: Reporter Sarah Barr joins Chris Van Hollen in learning how to live on the bare minimum , authored by Sarah Bar who shared these comments:
“From my end, the lessons have been similar. I'm sick of peanut butter, craving fresh vegetables and was frustrated by my options within the grocery store as I had to buy more than I needed of certain items, forcing me to neglect others. I don't need a full box of pasta for the week or a whole bag of rice, and that money could have gone to other items like vegetables.”
In another entry: Congressman Chris Van Hollen Takes the Food Stamp Challenge , Congressman Van Hollen states:
“The Food Stamp Challenge brings home the struggle that many Americans face on a daily basis. It quickly focuses your mind and your stomach on just how little food $21 a week buys. It also demonstrates that it is difficult, if not impossible, to eat a balanced diet on $21, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. I was feeling very cranky by the end of the week.”
*Raley BlueNote ~ I’LL BET HE DID FEEL CRANKY. NOTHING STRESSES ME OUT QUITE LIKE GROCERY SHOPPING. GIVE ME A SCREAMING BABY AND THREE OPINIONATED TEENAGERS ANY DAY!
From the entry: Food stamp diet challenge was an unhealthy exercise :
“Feeling full on $3 a day is one challenge; eating nutritionally is virtually impossible. Illinois Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky's week's worth of fruits and vegetables consisted of one tomato, one potato, a head of lettuce, and five bananas.”
“As Schakowsky put it, "Healthy food should not be viewed as a luxury."
*Raley BlueNote ~ AS MY KIDS (WHO WERE RAISED AS GOOD UNICORNS AND MERMAIDS AND THEREFORE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SWEAR), LIKE TO PUT IT, “No ‘it ‘Erlock!!!”
And then there’s this from the post, Editorial: Feigning poverty :
“Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan didn't last the week. Jars of peanut butter and jelly he'd stuffed in carry-on luggage were confiscated at an airport, leaving him with nothing but a bag of cornmeal to carry him through the challenge's final days.
He was caught eating a pork chop in a hotel restaurant because he feared he'd be too weak to deliver a commencement speech.”
*Raley BlueNote ~ STUNNING. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I FIND IT ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, AWE INSPIRING AND DOWNRIGHT CRIMINAL THAT MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY JOBS, JOBS THAT ARE THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA, THE ONES THAT KEEP US ROLLING, CLEAN, HEALTHY, AND YES, EVEN WELL FED, ARE CARRIED OUT EACH DAY BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER EVER HAVE ACCESS TO AN EMERGENCY PORK CHOP. AND YET, THE WORK STILL GETS DONE. WAKE UP, AMERICA!!
To Mr. Ryan’s credit, he did have this to say:
"It just showed me that when you're living on food stamps, you're really one event away from disaster," Ryan told The Washington Post. "Some people are constantly living on that edge.
Now I know some of you Young Lovers have never known any more in your own lives. And at many points in my life, I have been able to count myself among you. I am also aware that some of you live in other parts of the world where poverty, and it’s definition, is irrelevant to that of my country’s. I hope you’ll forgive me if this post feels crass to you. I am truly sorry and would never mean to hurt you or diminish your own struggles. I simply hope that by raising awareness in the context with which I am familiar, I can plant the seeds of change into the minds and hearts of those who can do something to flourish these seeds into trees of hope.
For we who are able, this is the challenge. Although the 2007 Farm Bill did pass and there have been several steps forward, and unfortunately a few steps back over the past five years, we will always be faced with the challenges which leave those unable to do, or speak for themselves, out. I hope this post leavesencouraged to go out into our world with the intention to grow goodness.

THIS IS AN OLD BLOG POST. I PUT IT UP TO CELEBRATE THE SPIRIT OF AureliaBlue-za-Palooza, WHICH, IN CASE YOU AREN'T FOLLOWING ME ON FACEBOOK OR TWITTER, IS MY WEEKLONG ATTEMPT TO BLOG AT LEAST ONCE EVERY DAY THIS WORK WEEK. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE POSTS EVER, AND I WANTED TO BRING IT TO MY FAVORITE YOUNG LOVERS TO SHARE.
(Hope it makes you laugh ;) ♥ AB
Okay, so AureliaB just got really tired of looking at the little graying old lady staring back at her from the mirror. She was fine with growing older gracefully, a little gray strand here or there...but then the mono hit... and suddenly there were big coarse grays everywhere! AureliaB has also had a few really hellacious years as of late and she has put on a few pounds and is starting to get fine lines. While she is generally a spirited fabu goddess of love and doesn't often let little things like this affect her Oomph Factor, lately she, much like the old Boss song, had simply grown tired and bored with herself. So, SHE BECAME A BLONDE!!!
And you know what? Dudes seem to dig it! It's freakin' her out just a little and of course, secretly thrills her greatly ;) But do the gents really prefer blondes? This is the most attention AB has gotten in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.
Case in point:
Driving along in her geriatric smurf blue Granada, she began experiencing turbulence, and and fearing an iminent blow-out or worse, pulled into the KFC parking lot to get out and inspect the tires. As she was walking around kicking the tires and checking their roundness as she does at least three or four times a month and no one even looks at her twice, a not unsexy dude walks out with his chicken and proceeds to his truck which is parked next to her.
"Nice car," he says, BUT CLEARLY LOOKS AT HER A$$!
Now it is that time of month, and her butt is nice and plump, and with the brassy of brown turned blonde against her skin coloring, and her penchant for the bling, perhaps she was rockin' somewhat, but ....
Anyhoo, she said "thanks, it was Grandma's," and went back to kickin' and pretty soon he's kickin' too and says, "how much?"
She smiles.
He say's "how much?"
And she says,"Never, it's my baby!"
And HE GRINS and says, "back right's a little low," and WINKS!!! Ofcourse by then, Sonnyboy has given him the evil eye, so that pretty much ended it. But she's been driving that car on occasion for over 15 years, and pretty much exclusively the last three, and no dude EVER has noticed!
Could be cowinkydinkal...
Fast forward to AureliaB and failing-third-grader-Abbycomelately-my-dad-doesn't-live-with-us-because-he's-a-soldier-but-he's-not-overseas-cuz-he's-in-jail-until-my-eleventh-birthday-here's-16-snapshots-of-him-in-my-pocket-wannasee'em?-girl in the elementary school hallway supposedly reviewing for IPASSTEPs per Crazedthirdgradeteacher's cry for help.
They were supposed to be figuring out what time it is on Judy Instructo Clock (that's seriously her real name) and smacking down on the Crayola Deluxe Multiplication Facts flash cards, but they were actually looking at the pictures of Daddy and talking about how Girlfriend moved in because her boyfriend hit her in the head when she was sleeping and now she's looking to get a new boyfriend....when Creepyprincipaldude meanders by.
"Oh! Mrs. Blue, I didn't realize you were here today! How are you?"
Uh, why would you particularly need to realize that? "Fine thanks. How are you?"
"Oh, me? Good. Thanks for asking. So what are you working on?"
Um, guess the big book marked IPASSTEP PREP+ didn't give that away? Maybe the Daddy pics threw ya.... "Just a little review help."
BIG CHEESEY SMILE! (I am totally not kidding) and then...
"Well thanks for coming in," and the usual cold fish handshake, followed by, a quick glance at her boobs (omg!) and a subtle, but definitely there, WINK!
Eeeeewwwwwwer!!! But I do not lie. (This is actually not the first time he's ever had a peek either. But that was more due to AureliaB having a semi wardrobe malfunction in a new top, while sitting in a kindergarten chair, well below eye level at a case conference. Soooo she really hadn't thought a lot about it at the time.) But the freaking (ick) wink! Granted the b's were looking vicious as I stated before it is that time. Anyhoo. Disturbing. And moving on...
So AureliaB is healthy girl when it comes to gettin' it on, and is almost always up for a good time. ALMOST always. There are in fact two days a month, you can probably figure out which, that our resident nyphy does NOT want it! AT ALL!!!
And here comes Axl. Yes, the same Axl who tells marriage quacks that he only gets the desire twice a year, that's the one.
So here he comes along and throws out, "You know how you said I should tell you if I feel like fooling around? Well I do. Kinda. I think. Yeah, I do."
AB is really NOT thrilled. Wouldn't he just? On one of the only two days she SO DOESN'T!
She gets pissed and sends him to the post office just to get him out of her dang sight.
He comes back and gets all flirty, then handsy. She tells him it's her special time. But Axl is a very earthy guy and this does not faze him. (Secretly, AureliaB really digs this about Axl, but that's not the point...) He pulls her close so then she can't say no in spite of herself. I will spare you the details... but seriously, is it the hair?!!!
BTW, no sign of the gray, and she's LOVING IT!!!
*itty bitty totally embarassing RaleyBlueNote: six months later it all fell out. in huge hunks. because of her insane midlife crisis diy. finally, 3years, many pre-natal vitamins and 1 bouncing baby boy later, she can hold her head up in public again. ok, ok, so there was a purple phase in there that was kinda fun...but the rest of it, not so much. just a cautionary tale, Yong Lovers, have fun, but take care. and always rock it when you got it. ;) <3 from me2u love raley blue

What Are Your Big 3?
Movie talk... is there ever an end to it? Especially now, in the summer, with BlockbusterManiaPalooza season upon us. The news this morning is that that guy who plays the prince in Snow White and the Huntsman is going to play Finnick in the ongoing Hunger Games Movie Trilogy??
(*RaleyBlueNote: no, no, no, NO F***ity NOOOOOOOOO... it's supposed to be Chad Michael Murray!! Because he's sexy as hell and I wanna see him in his underpants in the elevator doorway saying, "Do you find this distracting?".... but I digress...)
Ok, so Gale is Huntsman/Thor's Real Life brother (oh so pretty, both of them...sighhhh...swooooon...) and now the prince from SNATH is going to play Finnick...can you say Tic-Tac-Hollywood-Incestuous-Squares? Now there's a game that could last a whole car ride from the Adirondacks to the Redwood Forests. Kinda like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. (a game I L<3VE btw. And I'm sure that doesn't surprise you.)
But on the subject of movie related games, here's one my kids like to play. It's called What Are Your Big 3? Now technically it can be played with all manner of subject/genre serving as the big three, but today we are going to play it with MOVIES.
So here's the set-up: You are stuck on a desert island (yes, desert, not deserted, I don't know why, it's just how the game is played...now shhhhhh ... ) and you can only have three movies. There's a VCR that plays VHS, DVD, Blu ray, and Super8, whatever you need. Now. What are your BIG 3 and Why? Also for ten extra points (just kidding, there are no points in this game), your favorite line?
These are mine, Young Lovers:
No.1 TOP GUN
Favorite line: "I'll have what he's having. Hemlock is it?" ~Charlie
REASON: Um... jet planes!!!!!!! And a really hot, hot, HOT but not lascivious, show it alllllllll, lovemaking scene. Not to mention its ass kicking sound track that I STILL use today when cleaning house or driving long distances and need to keep my blood flowing. Except for that Heaven In Your Eyes song which is barely even in the movie... snore.... but seriously you know you love Danger Zone and of course the anthem of lovers EVERYWHERE... Berlin's Take My Breath Away http://youtu.be/9U9yYTeWsYM
*quick RaleyBlueNote: I hit the You Tube link for this to get it for up there, and as the first few notes sounded, BabyBoyBlue squealed with delight. Hee hee, do you think I play this song too much? ;) Nah.
I came of age to this movie. I think it added to the already swoonalicious need I had to write romance. I love the story. I love Kelly Mc Gillis. I love Val Kilmer. I used to love Tom Cruise...but will say he is still a phenomenally talented actor. And I'm sorry, but Tom Skerrit as Viper...
"...Now I'm not gonna stand here and blow sunshine up your ass..."
Yesssssssssssssssssssss.
No.2 SHEENA
Favorite line: "Alright then. I'll ask..." ~Vic Casey
REASON: Hello, Lake of Birds kissing scene!!!!!!!!! Best movie kiss, EVAR!!!!!!!!
You can watch it here: http://youtu.be/TaUrZ3nM_wE

She rides a freakin' zebra!!!!!!
*RaleyBlueNote: There is a lot of psychology out there about little girls and horse phases. Especially little Aspie girls and horsies. Some of it is sexual (f***ing Freud... of course he did) but mostly it's about identifying with beauty and power and our desire in our development to grow up to be free and wild and strong and pretty.... (lots to google)
Who doesn't want to be the heroine that pulls the handsome dude up the tree using only her calf muscle? I mean, helloooooo. Plus she's a princess/queen!! And prittah... > ^. .^ <
Isn't it refreshing to see a power balance of male and female in an action movie? This one was ahead of its time if you ask me.
Let me guess, your asking, "Raley, did you see this movie when you were like 9?
Yes, yes, I did. (in the theatre... ;) )
*Super Important RaleyBlueNote: I do not identify as racist. I know some feel this film is racist. I view it as a fantasy. Unfortunately the 80's and even more so, the 30's, when Sheena, Queen of the Jungle was a comic book, were a much more bigoted and less culturally sensitive time. I can't apologize for being born when I was and loving what I love. But I can and do apologize if my loving this movie offends you. My love for it comes from a place of personal princess/horseylove/little girl fantasy. That is all.

I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing...
But there is more. I had the biggest crush on Liv Tyler. Full on love. I adored her. Dreamed of her. Wanted to be her. I even had a little black floral print dress like hers. I wore it until the threads fell apart.
And of course there are my daddy issues. Harry Stamper and my dad are the same person, I'm pretty sure.
And I love A.J.'s itty bitty engagement ring...Now as a teenage bride, I can tell you, that's keepin' it real. And I'm pretty sure Grace wouldn't have it any other way. Me neither. <3
So what are YOUR big 3?
