Michael Phelps is BUSTED
Posted 16 years agoI posted something on a different website. It's in regards to the recent Michael Phelps photo that surfaced.
Humanity be proud.
"
How the mighty have fallen- Michael Phelps suspended
Oh joy! It's America's favorite activity arising once again- watching those hot headed stars tumble from their pedastal! It's practically our pastime, a guilty pleasure if you will; just take a look at Britney Spears!
It was only a few months ago when Michael Phelps, the mouse-earred young athelete, represented our country in Beijing for the 2008 Winter Olympics. Sure, he seemed as average and hairless as any swimmer that had represented the US in the past, but it was JUST HIS LUCK that his name would become a meme and endorsement variable for all those silly US companies.
Sorry Michael. It's been fifteen minutes. Hell, your time was up when you agreed to show everyone that you were a master of language with Rosetta Stone.
So what happened? Did he take steroids? Surely all you envious men on the Waves Squad would hope, but it is not that serious.
Was it for throwing a huge fit and throwing his goggles at the coach? No, because then he'd be just another Christian Bale. Keep guessing.
Drug addiction? You bet! But how serious? Did he go the rockstar route and become a junkie, or the Rapper route and get hooked on crack?
Neither. This All-American Athlete took the All-American route that is all too familiar to people his age.
He was caught smoking weed.
DAMN! I bet he'll never forgive his friend for taking that picture.
This is, without a doubt, the TRUE symbol of American hypocrisy. Now Kellogs AND EVEN the United Swimming League have dropped Phelps as his bong-tokin dank-smokin picture became an internet meme. The US Swimming agreed that the reason for dropping him was not because they had specific rules against members smoking weed, but they "...decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero".
I know. It's every young swimmer's dream to appear in corny commercials for language software and have their face plastered on cereal boxes. Hell, if he was making so much money, why would that matter to them?
Maybe he'll have to go to that Cash-for-Gold guy and melt down his medals.
Back to the hypocrisy. Basically, after a lifetime of grueling training sessions and countless competitions, if you are allowed to compete in the Olypmics you should be treated as a hero. But smoke a little weed, and it doesn't matter the status you earned before. You're merely a "disappointment".
I'm sorry, but isn't it the slightest bit strange that any mental or physical health concerns were never brought into question? It was simply the STIGMA of every person that ingests THC becomes a stone-faced, burnt out criminal that will never succeed.
Michael Phelps, I wish to say that you are now my hero. I didn't like you before, when it seemed that all you were was a sexy body and familiar face to fill up advertisement space.
But you are now the BEST example to show that Marijuana can't inhibit you from becoming something big. I think that, if anything, you should advocate your usage and not apologize to anyone. You've shown the true face of America. We'll believe any stigma, and if the Lord Jesus was found to smoke weed, we'd have a nation of Jews. You've exposed how fickle America is, how one little thing can ruin the entire career of someone who was before regarded as a hero.
Michael Phelps, I respect your private life and believe that what you choose to do outside of the pool is your own choice and is only in control of yourself, as long as it doesn't overflow into the control of others. We could REALLY use someone like you on the ol' NORML squad.
Keep on tokin, Michael Phelps, my new hero.
Humanity be proud.

MOAR SMECKS NAOW!
Posted 16 years agoI'm sure you've all heard it from one time or another.
But as for me, I was caught a bit off guard when a southern Californian dolphin lover sent me a (poorly written) message asking why Lost at Sea part 2 doesn't have more sex in it.
I'm sorry...I guess posting clean, non-anthro, non-yiff stories on FurAffinity is like posting stick figures on DeviantArt. But this guy's forgetting, at the end all the serials are going to be condensed and made into an entire story, "Lost at Sea prt2- Good Tidings". So this one will have about as much sex as Part 1 did.
Sheesh. Excuse me for trying to make a civilized story. It's all about sex here, am I wrong? I love to get off as much as any nymphomaniac would, but to be bashed for going against the rules? Never occurred to me.
Also...I'm REALLY dreading the release of "My Bloody Valentine". If the crowds for "Twilight" were bad (they were) then this will be a REAL nightmare.
Oh. And "UNBORN" is the WORST movie I've seen this year. But it was better than Twilight.

Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa and Chanukkah fans!
Posted 16 years agoJeez, if you expect people to respect your beliefs by saying they can't celebrate theirs, you're a hypocrite. I'm atheist and I still say "Merry Christmas".
Mine won't be too merry, but this year, in the middle of economic turmoil, I learned the true spirit of Christmas. Observe your family and friends for one day then go back to taking them for granted.
My grandpa, after a five year fight with leukemia, has finally began to lose. This will be his last Christmas.
The theater has me working Christmas eve and day, but I get the day after to collect my paycheck and do some shopping!
So far I've gotten this for everyone
-A Wii remote gun and wiimote stocking stuffer for my mom
-A Jay-z album for her boyfriend
-A Massage chair (with heat) for my dad
-A Salvador Dali poster for my brother's fiancee
-Reno 911 season 2 box set, plus 3.5 grams of some FLAME MARIJUANA for my brother and his fiancee (these christmas trees are avaliabe year round!)
-A David Bowie "You're my hero" card for my brother, because I miss him
- Another 3.5 grams of marijuana for my friends to split. Yeah, it'll be a good Christmas.

Typical day at the theater
Posted 16 years agoCustomer: "Hey, where are the bathrooms?"
Me: Turn around...yeah, there you go.
C: Is this movie any good?
M: No, it isn't. Sorry about that. You should have asked me before you payed 8 dollars for the ticket.
C: Umm....
M: Haha! No, I'm kidding. I work too much to see movies.
C: *Drops large tub of popcorn on floor*
M: Here's my broom. Makes you want to be careful, huh?
C: That damn girl at the box office sold me the wrong ticket!
M: Uh, I just sweep out the theaters, I don't know what you want me to do.
C: It's too cold in the theater!
M: That's why our seats can rock. It'll warm you up, trust me.
C: I spent eighty dollars here to take my family to "Madagascar2", and I can't get free popcorn refills?
M: I'm paid by the corporation. Your eighty bucks is worthless!
C: Let me see the manager!
M: I'm only telling you what they'll say.
I've concluded that the MPAA hates theater folk. It was their idea to release "Valkyrie","Bedtime Stories", "The Spirit", "Marley and Me",and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" are all coming out on Christmas Day.
SOOO...while all you regular working folk are sitting at home opening gifts and basking in the holiday glow, I'll be cleaning theaters for the massive throngs of those that have already got their holiday fill and want to see a movie.
I hope someone chokes on their popcorn. See if I'M merry on Christmas. Especially since my general manager (Scrooge) will make everyone work that day.

STUPID PEOPLE (Politics)
Posted 17 years agoThis is word for word my weekly assignment to assess news articles and letters to the editor. Keep in mind that this is the SAME STATE Obama represents. Apparently we aren't as proud of our President-elect as Texas was for Dubya
"You can't spell Socialism without 'social'
Baraba W., a woman from rural Colfax, obviously watches an unbiased news channel. In her letter to the editor, Barbara states that President-elect Barack Obama is "an avowed socialist" and his ideas are right out of "the Marxist-communist handbook". In her highly researched, unbiased assessment of the 2008 election, Barbara states that Barack Obama hates the US Constitution and will throw it out in a few years time. She believes that he will name himself 'Dictator-for-life'. She, being a humble rural citizen, declares herself the first source of the future yet to come.
Barbara, shut the fuck up. I'm sorry McCain lost the election, but creating lies based upon the 10-second sounbites you heard on Fox news is showing you're a sore loser. First off, Marxism has little, if anything, to do with Communism. Karl Marx proposed an idea of equality (Marxism), Lenin interpreted this and started a system of government (Socialism), and Stalin tore those up and created a system of his own that was just close enough to avoid detection in the short run (COMMUNISM). I digress. Besides, Obama hopes to tax the rich more not because he hates them- his new job will garner quite a hefty retirement fund- but because they have money the government needs. A 10% hypothetical tax rate on the wealthy is more than the poor would get, but in the end the rich will STILL be rich. Under Bush's taxes, the rich received the same tax rates as people making under 20,000 a year. This only makes them poorer. To say Obama is a Socialist could be considered a compliment, because its obvious our capitalistic society is crumbling, and I cite the auto-manufacturers asking for a bailout. It's COMMUNIST that is the negative, and both are hardly related. To say Obama hates the Constitution should be considered LIBEL, because it is obvious you've never bothered to listen to Barack's speeches besides the soundbites off of Fox news. You have no support for your opinion, and to act like you created the idea of Obama ruining the county (something present from the very second he stepped into the race) shows you are an ignorant, self-righteous bitch. The President, as you would know had you ever opened a US Government textbook, does not hold Supreme Law of the Land. Congress does. If he were to throw out our Constitution and name himself 'Dictator for life', if Congress didn't deport him the American people would overthrow him or the Ku Klux Klan would promptly assassinate him. I have to do MY homework before I write the paper. Why can't you?
"You can't spell Socialism without 'social'
Baraba W., a woman from rural Colfax, obviously watches an unbiased news channel. In her letter to the editor, Barbara states that President-elect Barack Obama is "an avowed socialist" and his ideas are right out of "the Marxist-communist handbook". In her highly researched, unbiased assessment of the 2008 election, Barbara states that Barack Obama hates the US Constitution and will throw it out in a few years time. She believes that he will name himself 'Dictator-for-life'. She, being a humble rural citizen, declares herself the first source of the future yet to come.
Barbara, shut the fuck up. I'm sorry McCain lost the election, but creating lies based upon the 10-second sounbites you heard on Fox news is showing you're a sore loser.

It begins...
Posted 17 years agoToday, I woke up feeling much like I do before any depressive spell comes on. Sort of distant, easily disheveled/stressed, intense longing to be alone, no intention on doing my studies, writing like a mad lunatic.....
Well. Christmas won't be happy this year. My brother's living in Chicago now, not very likely to stop on by. He was in last night, but I was too tired from work to talk much with him.
I miss him. I miss my family. I miss everyone I've ever been close to. But there's no way to bring back many of them.
Expenses are piling up, I have several large projects plus finals before I can enjoy winter break. All my weekends are filled with needy friends, work, and problems.
Oh well. Guess I should've expected more work and less play when I became an adult.
On a lighter note...possibility of promotion :)

If you voted YES on Prop 8...
Posted 17 years agoI hate you.
The bible says homosexuals will burn in hell for comitting sodomy. But it also says you will burn in hell for not treating others fairly and denying any well-to-do person equality.
So, I hope I go to hell. Because all of you who voted YES will go there too. And if you voted for marital reasons, I'll be bitter and quiet to you.
But if you voted because you are against homosexuality...I'll sodomize you for eternity :P
God Bless America.

OBAMA WINS!
Posted 17 years agoSorry, McCain supporters. It's time you feel what I felt when President Bush was reelected; "God help us, what the fuck is wrong with America?"
I know that any president since Nixon needs to have a loud, angry, protesting side to either break or strengthen his skills as the leader of this nation. Bush never strengthened...well, this is "the change we want".
I support Obama not because he is my state's senator. I do not do it because I would like to be alive to see the first black president of the United States be inaugurated. It is because I have listened to this man, who doesn't try to lie to the people or use fear/hatred/patriotism to bring in supporters. He uses hope. His plans are the most logical way to stop this country from unravelling any further, and he fully intends to carry these ideas through.
The current problems have started a long time ago. I have a large amount of doubt that it can be solved in a single term, maybe not even two terms. But he's all the hope we have of halting this mess or even beginning to fix it. I know politicians commonly make promises that seem sure but end up being impossible to carry out. The fate of America rests for the largest part in his hands. And he's willing to lift it back up again.
We had eight years of Bush. We stopped from having twelve years of Bush. Now we need four of Barack.
My faith has been restored. God Bless America.

Obama's ahead!!!
Posted 17 years agoAs of 3:41 CST, Obama has a lead with 51.9%, McCain trailing at 44.4%.
Since I'm about to leave for Missouri, I cannot be here to post when the new President of the United States is announced. But I know it will be the right guy :)
Good luck, McCain supporters. There's not much left for you to cling on to.

GAS PRICES! YAY!
Posted 17 years agoToday is the day I never thought would be possible again!
I was able to fill my tank, which was running on the gas light, on a mere $20!
Gas here is only 2.25 a gallon...wow. Only four weeks ago it was 3.45
Elections, eh? Brings out the best. Too bad they'll just skyrocket again on Nov.5

Debates
Posted 17 years agoFor the first time since 2000, I watched the debates (the FINAL debates was the only one I saw all the way through). I thought it was almost funny how McCain spent his entire time bashing Obama, questioning his ability, and giving him the hawk-eyed death stare when not speaking. Obama seemed a bit more diplomatic, something that would make a good president, and only gave death stares of his own when sipping his water.
But, after listening to both sides, Obama still came out as the better candidate for president. Reason why I changed my avatar.
I didn't watch the VP debates, sadly. I know I should've, because McCain could die in office and Obama would get assassinated by the KKK (watch the video), so these two MIGHT have to be our new leaders...oh boy. What a crazy time.

Tis the season-
Posted 17 years agoFor Meme's. POLITICAL memes. Anyone outside the US might not really get why all us Yanks are getting fired up, but this election will either save our country at the last (VERY last) second, or push us over the edge.
I'm a liberal, though I have on occasion taken the side of Republicans. If you've seen my past journals, you might notice that I'm hardcore but try to avoid demeaning the other party.
Gun control? It is our basic American right to own a gun. However, like all other dangerous things (hairstyling, driving) we should be required to take classes on gun safety and control and wait a WEEK before we receive our piece. Other than that, keep it the way it is.
Abortion: I'm for this only on a justice level. Never do I think "I like to see babies killed" or "But this woman needs to or she'll die!", I believe it is ETHICALLY wrong to tell a pregnant woman that she has no control on what she does with a child. Whatever her reason may be, even if she's sick and twisted and gets pregnant just to get an abortion (Mrs. Garrison??), its her basic right. I do believe that if that's the case, we won't have a shortage of new children and our adoption agencies won't be as crowded.
Euthanasia: If animals, sometimes there is little you can do when they're too sick, too abused and violent, or too on the verge of death. Same with humans, I believe that if someone is in too much pain or have been on their deathbed for too many months, they should be allowed to have an assisted suicide. However, if they are a vegetable or have little chance of recovery, it should be decided by the next of kin. This can only be granted to patients with terminal illnesses or irreparable brain damage, not suicidal people.
Marriage: Marriage should be between two legal adults. Its as simple as that. I don't believe that saying "equality for all" means "marry whatever you want", because I am disturbed by animal marriages and marriage to children is wrong, legally and morally.
Religion: Everyone is entitled to worship and believe what they want. The only exception are cults, and in that case- if anyone accuses the leader of committing a federal crime or keeping people against their will, the federal agents should be sent in to investigate and the cult leader and their followers will be put on trial in a Federal Court of Law. The ex-members can serve as witnesses or jury.
Rights: Everyone should have equal rights. The only exceptions are those that need extra benefits (ie, seniors, handicapped, veterans). Any legal adult should have the right of any other legal adult in this country, and it should be required in all states to learn the Constitution so when someone above stomps on it, the people will know.
immigration: Improve the border. To be honest, I could care less that mexicans have such a shitty life they feel they should break federal laws of another country, live illegally as fugitives in the US, and expect our benefits. If their life sucks, how about go to THEIR government to improve the conditions instead of making ours worse. I don't care if you nearly got shot trying to cross the border, I feel bad the guard missed. That fence is the most obvious sign that we can't afford to have illegal immigrants come in. REGULAR IMMIGRATION, the one where you take the Constitution test, get a green card, a visa, etc., I'm all for that. But if you can't afford it, don't break the law to do so.
Medicine: It needs to be improved. The medical companies pay doctors MILLIONS a year to prescribe their product even to people that don't particularly need that certain kind. These medicines have addictive effects and are the new 'drug craze' of this era. It's really sad. And as for medicare, it should be where most of our taxes go. It's so sad that doctors charge 10,000 for a surgery that determines whether or not that person will live. If we had free health care there'd be a lot more taxpayers to stay alive....yeah, sounds good, doesn't it?
energy: Hydrogen cars only-we MUST stop our oil addiction. Solar/Wind/Geothermal energy- Nuclear and coal energy is too polluting and is screwing us all over, not to mention price-wise as well.
war, the middle east, military, global policy, etc: Never should have been there in the first place. What used to be a dictatorship is now a democratic anarchy. People are out of control because of American troops as well as a centuries old feud that will never change. Instead of killing Iraqi soldiers, we should help them to build so THEY can control the rioters and jihadists. Also, America is in enough shit right now and the last thing we need is to get ourselves caught in the shit of OTHER countries.
What I want from my government: I want my dad to work in a corporation where the CEO's don't get large bonuses everytime they make a mistake that ruins the company-and in the process, makes him pay for it by cutting his wage in half. I don't want a government that requires me to buy into insurance companies that are corrupt and try to rob you when you join. I wish the government could wait until we're alright to start helping other countries. I want a government that listens to the people, as fantasy as that may be. I want a government that doesn't tax most of my paycheck and purchases so it can buy guns for a war I don't like or give it to corrupted banks. I just want a democracy, is that too much to ask?

To be honest, I could care less that mexicans have such a shitty life they feel they should break federal laws of another country, live illegally as fugitives in the US, and expect our benefits. If their life sucks, how about go to THEIR government to improve the conditions instead of making ours worse. I don't care if you nearly got shot trying to cross the border, I feel bad the guard missed. That fence is the most obvious sign that we can't afford to have illegal immigrants come in. REGULAR IMMIGRATION, the one where you take the Constitution test, get a green card, a visa, etc., I'm all for that. But if you can't afford it, don't break the law to do so.
Medicine: It needs to be improved. The medical companies pay doctors MILLIONS a year to prescribe their product even to people that don't particularly need that certain kind. These medicines have addictive effects and are the new 'drug craze' of this era. It's really sad. And as for medicare, it should be where most of our taxes go. It's so sad that doctors charge 10,000 for a surgery that determines whether or not that person will live. If we had free health care there'd be a lot more taxpayers to stay alive....yeah, sounds good, doesn't it?
energy: Hydrogen cars only-we MUST stop our oil addiction. Solar/Wind/Geothermal energy- Nuclear and coal energy is too polluting and is screwing us all over, not to mention price-wise as well.
war, the middle east, military, global policy, etc: Never should have been there in the first place. What used to be a dictatorship is now a democratic anarchy. People are out of control because of American troops as well as a centuries old feud that will never change. Instead of killing Iraqi soldiers, we should help them to build so THEY can control the rioters and jihadists. Also, America is in enough shit right now and the last thing we need is to get ourselves caught in the shit of OTHER countries.
What I want from my government: I want my dad to work in a corporation where the CEO's don't get large bonuses everytime they make a mistake that ruins the company-and in the process, makes him pay for it by cutting his wage in half. I don't want a government that requires me to buy into insurance companies that are corrupt and try to rob you when you join. I wish the government could wait until we're alright to start helping other countries. I want a government that listens to the people, as fantasy as that may be. I want a government that doesn't tax most of my paycheck and purchases so it can buy guns for a war I don't like or give it to corrupted banks. I just want a democracy, is that too much to ask?

Posted 17 years agoCome on, I've missed about every other meme on this site, and the "FA is back!" journal craze is one I can actually use.
Oh, the joy of having a shitty art talent!
These past two months weren't anything special. I never even bothered trying to work on Lost at Sea, nor do I plan to until someone can give me a review.
My brother moved to Chicago during this period, and I'm already starting to miss him. Though it's only a cheap ticket for the Amtrak, I can barely stand the long commute up there.
But I'm glad FA's back. Fchan was my only source of furry material, which is VERY annoying when you want to see a certain artist's collection.

I'm sorry
Posted 17 years agoThe other day Mr. Ricardo came to me. Told me "Delfy, you got sum 'splainin ta do".
He was right, even if he was just a dead celebrity used as a metaphor for my conscience.
I just want to apologize for my last journal. There's plenty of reasons why I said the things I said, and nearer to the end all the anger had been vented and it became just another rant about my views. So to hardcore gamers, the silent 33%, and O'Reily, this apology doesn't go out to you.
The last journal was written at a very bad time. Since most of my doodles and stories are created during classes I've been getting rusty. This was very aggravating. But mix that in with a new job, a newly divorced Dad who is too depressed to see anything but faults, and my own depression (caused mostly by the one mentioned before), I just lost it.
Also, my ex says he'll kill himself on June 19th. I can't even begin to describe how hard that rests on the mind.
I have nothing against the furry fandom, just a lot of the people in it. I don't like people to add drama or fight over which character is sexier. While there are plenty who I love, there wasn't enough to cancel out those I couldn't stand.
I do like to be online, but it's no longer "get online and write a few pages", it's just "be online". I hate being unproductive.
Well, FA was the wrong place for me to come to in the first place. People want visual things, something that I can't give to them. The fandom has no place for writers, apparently. It's time I stopped using this place like a blog and start writing again.
Which brings me to my next topic. Before, I was able to write because my boyfriend had read and critiqued what I had. Now that that's over with, it could be why I'm getting so lazy. Help, anyone?

I'm sick of-
Posted 17 years agoThis will probably be the last journal you'll hear of me in a while.
I'm sick of-
-Being online. I can't take it anymore. I realized that I'm one of the millions of people out there that's hopelessly addicted to it. And I want to put an end to that.
-Furry fandom. You guys can never get enough drama no matter the site you visit. Fchan is by far the worst, but FA isn't much better.
-Instant messaging. It's so stupid. I hate sitting at the screen for 5 hours straight trying to talk to someone I can't even hear. And I hate the people that add me only to try to RP with me. Which brings me to my next one-
-ROLEPLAYING. God, I can't stand it. Phone sex seems pretty l337 compared to cyber sex. I can't stand the people who make it boring or don't realize that each session is exactly the same as the last. I hate how much time it takes for a cheap orgasm with someone you'd never want to see below the waist at any time in real life.
-Internet Slang, And people wonder what's dumbing down America. It doesn't take that much time to simply capitalize your word or add commas and spaces. And come on, your spelling is worse than a 1st graders! If you have Firefox it even tells you its spelled wrong! COME ON PEOPLE!
-Hardcore Gamers. Why can't you guys ever stop talking? I like the 360 as much as anyone, but how about let people buy the system THEY want and not shove your favorite down their throat? I don't CARE if you modded out your system so you can play 3 games at once. Big fucking deal!
-Halo. Seriously. It's just a game trilogy. Coheed and Cambria released 5 albums and a comic book series, but they have the common sense to realize a movie and bible are just MILKING THE SUCCESS.
-People who want more than one sex partner. Come on, you nymphomaniacs. One person should be enough to satisfy you. Love triangles only cause problems, hurt feelings, and more drama than George Hearn can stand.
-Fursuitters. Ok, I won't even lie, I do get turned on by watching two or more fursuiters have sex. But to constantly dress up in them and say you ARE who you're dressed as is just silly. It's a fun little game and the adult's version of a fantasy world, but its just another obsession that can end up causing more trouble.
-Republicans and the 33% of America who's not even paying attention. This goes without saying.
-Conspiracy Theorists. What's wrong with you? Why is it that anything tragic and national that happens has to be some sort of cover-up? How about use some common sense and distinguish fact from fiction without looking like a loon?
-Viral videos. They're funny the first two or three times, but if I can't even watch the news without seeing them that's a real problem.
-Bill O'Reily. I can't tell if his breath stinks or he's just spewing shit.
In short, I've lost my love for fandoms, furries, and the internet in general. I'd rather not be caught up in famous websites. When I want to surf, I'll use StumbleUpon and find a few sites that are practical or entertaining. But I'm sick of this internet media and telecommunication.
I won't be online in a while. Maybe some writing will get done. Not that anyone is even keeping tabs on my stuff, anyway.

GOOD NEWS UPDATES!
Posted 17 years agoThis week will be the best!
On Sunday, I'm going in for an interview and commercial taping with the John Robert Powers Acting/Modeling agency. It's my HOPE that they won't turn out to be a scam.
On Tuesday, I'm getting a brand new job! It's at Galaxy 14 Cineplex, a high class (compared to what we're used to) movie theater with an Imax screen. I had originally applied there while they were still builiding it.
Oh, and classes finish this week...summer break! Finally.

CALIFORNIA LEGALIZES GAY MARRIAGE!
Posted 17 years ago BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080515.....s/gay_marriage
So now we've got Massachusetts and California as the LEGAL states to allow same-sex marriage. This doesn't include same-sex unions, or 'married by word', which is legal in a few states.
This is a very positive step in the right direction. Even if the rest of the country hasn't caught up on other things California allows (medicinal marijuana, emission reports), this will hopefully bring the rest of the country closer to allowing equal marriage rights.
And sorry, Mr. McCain, but California has the most electoral votes...so you might want to change your strategy!
This is (IMAO) about a few years too late, though. California's much more progressive, but in 2004 even after same-sex was allowed, the state denied legalizing these marriages.
-To this day, I've yet to hear someone give me a good reason why gay marriage should be illegal. And I've yet to hear anyone try and actually SUPPORT what they say. It's always like this.
"Gay marriage!"
"No!"
"Why?"
"It'll ruin the family values!"
"How?"
"Because it goes against the Bible!"
"There are plenty of wholesome families that don't read the Bible."
".....Nuh-uh"
Well, I'm done ranting. If this goes on too much longer I'll be so smug I'll like the smell of my own farts (South Park 1002-Smug Alert!)

I saved 6 people today
Posted 17 years agoDonating blood, that is.
Signs were posted up all over campus about the blood drive today. I thought why not, I haven't donated yet.
Well, after problems with my ID (which I didn't have) resulting in pulling my info up on the school database, I went to the library and came out an hour later with a bandage, nutter butters, two bottles of water and a cool new shirt.
Small reward for a hero (lol).
The woman working the concession stand for all the students participating was none other than Carol, our backstage props manager. "Oh Tommy, you're crazy to donate blood on a show day!"
Eh, bite me. Thanks to her, though, I was able to get plenty of extra food, which was tightly rationed today.
Just arrived home, I feel sort of sluggish and I've lost my ability to use my imagination! So....no writing for today.
Only sleep!
