no fat chicks

i was talking to a friend the other day (we'll call her racer x) and she told me that she and her husband were working on getting her knocked up. this wasn't a shock, because she'd mentioned this in the past, but she just recently got married and i wasn't sure why it was so important to pop out a few trophies this early in the marriage. racer x is a great girl; very smart, incredibly attractive, dry sense of humor, got her head on straight and she's got a great set of cans. her hubby (we'll call him speed racer) seems to be a great guy as well. i'm just wondering why they want to rush into having kids so quickly. i think they'll have a happy and long marriage, so why fuck it up so early on? she said she wanted to be a hot mommy now.

And marriage doesn't hold a bad place in my mind. My parents are still married after 37 years, my grandparents were married until my grandfather passed away 12 years ago and i have a sister who's happily married with children, so i consider myself lucky in the marriage department. i don't know if it's something i'll do one day, but i don't guess i'll know until i get there. but this isn't about marriage, it's about childbearing. my old roommate had to void our living/hetero-life-partner contract cause he and his girlfriend got pregnant and they just gave birth a month ago to a baby boy, but i don't think it was intentional (and i'm being liberal with that comment). as of 2002, the world had roughly 6.2 billion people wandering around and i'm wondering if we really need any more. countries are overpopulated, people are dying of malnutrition, wars are occurring and yet, we continue to pump out kids. and how many of those children, in a year's time, are unplanned and unwanted?

to make it more interesting, racer x told me that she had speed racer on a schedule. i didn't know this, but apparently, there are times of the month that women are more susceptible to getting pregnant. i probably knew this at one point in time, like from my sex ed class back in '91, but i've been working on not getting someone pregnant since then, so if poor speed racer doesn't perform to his best abilities, racer x owns his ass until the same time next month. doesn't that take the fun outta having sex? i understand that the ultimate and base purpose of sex is procreation, but what about just having a lot of sex until racer x does get knocked up? why schedule meetings? and i know we all need a job in life. some of you have to be mommies (or hot mommies, in racer x's case), but the interview for that position shouldn't be so stressful. and it's ok if you don't get the job. you're competing with another coupla billion other fat chicks who already have the job.
