I kissed a girl and I liked it

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention


An innocent hug hello. An intended kiss of the cheek. Her beautiful smile caught my eyes and all thoughts fled.

I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion


No turning heads. No offered cheeks. Arms hugged while her lips and mine did meet.

It's not what I'm used to
Just wanna try you on


Soft caress of lips. Once then twice. My hands slid across her back and down her sides.

I'm curious for you
Caught my attention


The sensation of curves beneath fingertips. The delicacy of hands across my back. Her hands slid down the length of my arms.

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick


The feel of her lips so soft beneath mine. The feel of her hands wrapped in mine. The world narrowed to just the two of us.

I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it


Lost my inhibitions. Lost my self-control. I wanted to drown in the sensation of that kiss.

It felt so wrong
It felt so right


The smell of her perfume tantalizing my senses. The silk of her shirt catching against the cotton of mine. Her eyes flickered close as the kiss deepens.

Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it


The taste of her desire so moist, so dense. The taste of my lip balm on her lips. As I nibbled her lips, our breaths mixed together into heated temptation.

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable


Seconds became minutes. Time both stopped and flew. Shivers inside spread to trembles and I wanted more.

Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent


Supple lips dipped one last time. Foreheads bumped as breaths mingle. Sparkling eyes met and a small smile said so much.

I kissed a girl and I like it.

Let's keep notes on who pisses us off.

If you all remember, last post I discussed the problems I had regarding an email from a coworker. Well, the coworker sent me another email this week along the same lines. Last time, I wasn’t comfortable with the email, but I also wasn’t comfortable responding to the coworker. However this time, I was quite peeved at the hypocrisy and so I wrote her back. She hasn’t replied yet, so I am not sure how she is going to take it. While I respect her friendship, I really don’t think that someone who has so recently rediscovered Christianity should be advocating religious persecution.

I also prefer to regard human beings as enlightened and while certainly we can’t agree on everything, we should, at the very least, respect others’ beliefs as their own. It also amazes me because I know one of my other friends in that office is a Muslim. They know each other and I didn’t think there was a problem. Perhaps I am wrong. I am not perfect – I have never proclaimed that and I am usually the first to deny it, but I like to think I can be respectful of others’ beliefs even while not understanding them. Perhaps my world is best viewed with rose-coloured glasses.
So what I present to you below is the email as well as my response.

If this be true, we better stay attentive to what is happening in our world.

Allah or the Lord Jesus Christ?

This is very interesting and just a very scary ...

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!!

Allah or The Lord Jesus Christ? ... By Rick Mathes

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!"

I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven.. Is that correct?"

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of "a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar."

He sheepishly replied, "Yes."

I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!"

The Imam was speechless!

I continued, "I also have problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?"

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were Not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. To elect the President! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized.

Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts.

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.

The Man who walks with God always gets to his destination.

If you have a pulse you have a purpose.


Hi,
While I understand the intent behind you sending this email, I am also a little troubled by the message it provides. Any religion can be interpreted in such a way to advocate the killing of 'non-believers.' Just look at history: the Salem witch trials, the Inquisition, the Ku Klux Klan, terrorism - please note there is a definition for Christian terrorism as well. Most religions have the basis of peace, harmony and love - Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism are just several examples. Not everyone follows those teachings. There will always be people who take the step into violence and often it will be with either the explicit or perceived permission of those in power and from the interpretation of the written dogma.

Many of these emails are created in the United States where fear of the unknown is at a heightened paranoia, some of which is justified and most of which is not. If you read the story from a different point of view, it is possible that the Imam was speechless because he couldn't believe that someone following the Catholic faith could honestly believe the Catholic Church (or even Protestant church) had never advocated murder. Perhaps he hung his head not in shame but in resignation of the ongoing hypocrisy of other people.

I appreciate that you send me emails because you think of me and think I may be interested. I just wanted to let you know that there have been a couple emails recently I have found to be troubling for me in regards to what seems to be the perpetuity of religious discrimination.

Thank you. I hope you are doing well.
