I think it's really really stupid that Zak Smith wasn't invited to Yale for "Sex Week" considering he IS a Yale graduate and IS an adult performer with a published book on the subject and has been making art about that same subject for years and years.
Probably one of the dumbest things that's happened all month. Including my massive problems with my medical conditions and incredibly over priced basic asthma medication.
Hate.

that IS weird. he should totally have been invited.
that makes no sense what so ever. but then again the corporate world doesn't make sense anyway, its always about filling their own pockets.
its dumb
its corrupt
and needs to stop
they should celebrate that one of theirs has become and expert on an art form.
Something else dumb is that i cant seem to friend you.
Hate is healthy.
Hope you get better.
@Electric Chimera:
Friend me where? On what? I only have a fan page on Facebook and I've stopped using Myspace because it sucks so hard---you can follow me on Twitter, I respond to most comments sent my way so long as they aren't rude. And my email is pretty obvious.
Sorry. No offense meant.
that is fucked up. But how's it going miss morbid?
Wow.. I mean really.. Wow.
That is very stupid on so many levels.
On a side now I read his book and thought it was really good.
Hope your health is on the rise Mandy.
