It was during this mornings struggle to sleep that it dawned on me how skinny and how bad I felt for not being able to find this emaciated German shepherd I saw when I left work last night. In the few seconds it took for me to run into work and grab some rolls and a dish of water it had disappeared down the alleys of downtown; yes, I did drive up and down the alleys searching, and yes my deep dark secret is that I wish I was a part of Animal Cops Bakersfield.
It was during this reflection that I realized that here this dog is, ribs showing and starving, and not because it wants to be but because of circumstance, and here we are, MIGHTY WOMEN, starving ourselves intentionally. When did we get so fucked up? What other species knowingly starves themselves to attract a mate? But it doesn't stop there. We knowingly starve ourselves into these emaciated looking aborigines and then take plastic and shove it in all the right places to enhance the features that catch the guys attentions. No wonder were called 'WO-MAN'.. woah the almighty man or else. What ever happened to just being beautiful? O wait, I remember, we went and got all materialistic on ourselves.
Could you IMAGINE for one second any other species doing that? Bears, dogs, squirrels..all knowingly starving themselves and then putting plastic 'in all the right spots' to grab a mates attention..man, shark week would take on a whole new meaning.
As always, remember, H is for Heidi.
