10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

So, it would be wrong of me not to post this, being that it may be one of the best things I have read in a long time. It is like the Simpsons on paper. It is funny because it is true, yet, most people won't get it because they will never understand that it is making fun of how dumb we are. Odd how so many people make arguements that make no sense. I have no clue who wrote it, but I wish I did. Goodness, I guess it just goes to show that we really do have a long way to go in this country.


1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Just Talking I Guess

So I guess this is just me talking.

Mood: Chill
What's Playing On iTunes?: Tears and Rain - james blunt
Weather Outside: Semi-Cold
What Did I Eat Today?: Two Bagels, Apples, Grapes, Yogurt, and a Double Cheeseburger
Biggest Accomplishment of the Day: Made an entire scarf (yes, I made it)
Biggest failure of the Day: still sick
Attitude Towards Cell Phone: content
The Best Week Ever Because: I get to go home for the first time since Jan 2.
The Worst Week Ever Because: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 is Saint Valentine's Day, the most over-commercialized holiday that I would love if I weren't single. :-)

I guess I don't have a lot to say today, I just felt like saying something, so here I am. OK, I have something to say now. It has been a long month. I don't think their is that much left in the month, (because it is the shortest one), but I am surviving.

So I leave Indianapolis on Wednesday to go to Dayton. I stay there until the weekend when I have an opportunity to return home for a day to see my family. From there, it is off to DC/College Park, MD for a few weeks to do some work. From there, I go to Florida, to New Orleans, to oh yeah....then I get to go to Mexico for a week. That should be fun.

Job search is just beginning. Hopefully I will find something sometime soon. That would be nice.

Haven't had much time to talk to my friends because this is my free time (1:30am) SWEET!

Other than that, all is pretty freakin good. No deep thoughts for the day except, "please cold weather, go away".

I'm done.

If I Could

If I could tell someone something right now, I would tell them.
If I could show someone something right now, I would show them
If I could feel something inside right now, I would feel it
If I could love someone with my heart right now, I would love them
If I could live my life the way it should be lived right now, I would live it
If I could be honest and true, unaffraid of the world around me, I would be.

I would if I could.

Why do we have to live life wishing we could be ourselves?
