Santa died today

I'm in Rhode Island and the temperature has not ventured above the point of freezing since I landed. I actually have to work myself into the right frame of mind to go from the door to the car waiting at the curb. I'm wearing Uggs in my hotel room with the heater set full speed ahead. I'm drinking iced coffee because I don't like how it tastes hot anymore. It's sabotaging the effort.

School is out. I've been to the gym already. I don't have to leave here until 9:30 PM. This is heaven. I ordered room service and played online for hours. I can't remember the last time I was able to relax without worrying about what needed to be finished or started or what I'd forgotten to finish or start. Yesterday I made it to the mall and brought back 4 books. Books are like video games to me. I can't wait to get home to start them and I will only stop when I have beat them or been forced by basic needs such as food and sleep and sex to put them down, briefly.

Today was too cold to make it back to the mall, despite the fact that it's a 5 minute shuttle ride from the hotel, curb to curb. I substituted with Amazon shopping from the warmth and comfort of my own computer. You could say I went overboard. I transferred it all to the wishlist instead. It was like binge shopping and purging. I might have a disorder now.

I caught up on news. There is an asshole group trying to harass women seeking abortions by forcing them to fill out surveys that would be available online. They want to know age, race, marital status, and reason for aborting. Supposedly it will deter abortions and unwanted pregnancies. Kinda like abstinence only programs.

There is still a war in Afghanistan and still people who think we're doing this because we represent good against evil and it's our job to 'police the world'. They all happen to be American.

And the most dividing incident of the day was a christmas display in some random guys yard. He put Jesus in a pretty malicious looking white robe with a shotgun and a dead Santa at his feet. As far as I'm concerned this sounds like a pretty normal continuation of the bible stories. You're either a martyr, the victim of a murder, or taken at the hand of god... and Santa got all three. They weren't kidding about that jealous god bit.

That's not the point though. The point is that this is on CNN right next to a war and the weather reports. There are the people who think he's right to do this because Santa has stolen Christmas from Jesus. One more time: fully functioning adults are claiming that one cultural myth has stolen the attention of the masses from the other. Then there are the normal people in the neighborhood with kids who are upset that their kids have to witness this bizarre profession of faith, or find out the hard way that there's no Santa, at least not anymore, because he's dead on their neighbor's front lawn. But hey, I believe in free speech. Without that handy clause in the constitution I would be out of a job.

its a wonder where 2 hours of boredom and procrastination whilst internet surfing leads you. plus, here in london, its freezing outside and my toes are cold. why i am reading this blog when i should be working on my MSc project? this is not what a once well-meaning doctor should be doing in his spare time.
just wanna say though that i don't know what's funnier/ more distrubing...the idea of a fat guy breaking into my house through the chimney to leave me gifts, or the concept of christianity, which is basically one woman's denial of an extra-marital affair that's gotten seriously out of hand...!

for some funny reading, try this...

I believe in God and have meditated and prayed for many years. However, I do not believe in Christianity that is holier than thou, non-thinking or non-rational, hateful, prejudiced, intolerant, spiteful, violent in it's core, divisive, and mean spirited. Much of modern day Christianity (and other major religions around the world) has brought rebuttal or lack of concern on itself, as it has nothing to do with what Christ would have done to support life, sexual preferences, loving relationships, help for the poor, the sick or elderly, love, compassion, peace and unity that was all inclusive, wholesome, and life affirming.
Fundamentalist thinking is at the core of much of the evil that exists in the world today. That does not make me an atheist or skeptic. But it turns me away from organized religion which has become a root problem in this country and around the world.
I'm all for free speech and freedom of expression in it's broadest sense. I choose not to listen to an extreme right or left wing thinker, or fundamentalist thinker who does not think for himself, who is full of himself or herself, but they have a right to say it.
I fully support a woman's right to choose in making a difficult decision on abortion, and those programs should be funded. The statistics on women having abortions in this country are higher than many might realize.
Larry Flynt has been a supporter of of many things American through the years. He has a lot to say.
I may not agree with what someone is saying, as we all have our personal beliefs and core values. But I fully support their right to say it. Long live free speech and the right to self expression, whether in the arts, culture, or pornography (which Kayden has done so much for).

Looking at the photo, it looks like an Arab stereotype not Jesus.
As far as Afghanistan,YOU Kayden voted for the guy that supported THAT war(but not Iraq). Hope you're happy.

Hey Kayden, great blog. Your sexy smile brought me here, but your intelligence, irreverence, and insight really captured my attention. Keep up the good work. I look forward to future posts.

isn`t giving Jesus a shotgun kind of a pretty serious mis-interpretation of the bible?

abortion protestors will always be around, i think what they really do is remind people considering abortion that it's a serious decision, worthy of consideration. they don't really sway the argument, but they do add weight to the discussion.

i read one of your previous entires and was delighted to find some style in the prose - figured you wrote like someone who reads. this is pretty cool! crazy sexy and fond of books - you do rock some girl.
