Contact Lenses

I need yall's help!

I'm looking to get contacts the first week in June, and I'd like to get the opinion of people who already wear them.

I'm looking for some lenses that are preferably more long-lived than daily/weekly-use, so likely either monthly disposables or the RGP type (cost will factor in to whether or not I go for the custom RGPs). Any recommendations for brands of that type lens?

So here's my laundry list of questions for you contact-wearin' peoples.

• What type of lenses do you wear?
• Do you like them, or would you prefer something else?
• Do you have a preferred brand of lenses? Is there a brand I should shy away from?
• Have you ever had any complications from protein/bacteria on your lenses?
• What solution do you use to clean your lenses?
• Do you rub the lenses even if they're in a "no-rub" solution?

K, I think that's it--thanks in advance for yall's help! <3

I Tell Myself I'll Be Young Forever, Nothing Will Ever Change

I cannot recommend the Benjy Davis Project's new album "Dust" (FREE to download here on the Amazon page) highly enough. Yes, the entire album is free and it is WONDERFUL--I recommend them especially if you enjoy some of Jason Mraz's earlier stuff.

Out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana no less! I have fond memories of that city.

So Carrie Kept Her Crown

I've seen the video of Carrie Prejean's answer to Perez Hilton's question regarding same-sex marriage legalization. I've seen the shit-storm that followed Carrie's answer, and I saw Donald Trump's press conference (or whatever he has) this morning where he announced that Carrie will keep her crown.

Honestly, I don't think Carrie should be crucified for stating her beliefs regarding marriage. She's a Christian, and that is what most Christians feel and believe! I enjoy my First Amendment right ever-so much, and I believe that CARRIE HAS A RIGHT TO AS WELL.

It was Evelyn Beatrice Hall (NOT Voltaire) that said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." So there it is, cut and dried. It was no hate speech; she didn't drop the "fag"-bomb or the "dyke"-nuke. Just because she's from California doesn't mean she is automatically bound to supporting gay marriage!

As for the pictures--I honestly could care less. With the way modeling is these days, who doesn't expect some nipple slippage? From what I understand, the pictures of her in the vest were taken on a windy day and the photographer was not supposed to release the nip-slips from that particular shoot, or so Carrie says.

Oh, and don't even get me started on Bill O'Reilly insinuating (or blatantly stating) that feminists should be outraged (OOOOOUTRAAAAAAGED) with Carrie's semi-nude posing (at seventeen--who hasn't taken a saucy little picture in their bedroom when their parents were out of the house?). Seriously, Bill? What the mother-fuck would YOU know about feminism?

I think that about sums up my stance on the matter. Feel free to discuss. :*

Assault On Nashville Anonymous On Public Property

Assault on Nashville Anonymous: Ideal Org Opening, 25 April 2009

Things to bear in mind: this took place on public property, about a half-block north of where the sidewalk was actually closed (8th Avenue & Olympia Street, for you Nashvillians). The guy being tackled had turned to leave when he was grabbed, turned around, and had his legs kicked out from under him.

Oh, if only I'd been there....brawl.
