Been listening to Alix Olson's newest CD Independence Meal, and a few lines keep getting stuck in my head, so I'm going to blog about them. "...I find myself stratospherically frozen between the way things are and the way things should be..." That describes so perfectly how I feel so much of the time I just had to share it. "...the rusty squeaking of good hearts on rusty brains..." There are

Hmmmm...another busy weekend. Went to see Farenheit 911 on Friday night. There's been so much publicity that I'm not going to blab on with a bunch of repetitive shit, but I thought it was really good. (yes, you're shocked, I know). I guess I could easily be considered the "choir" that Michael Moore has been accused of preaching to, but I don't really care. I actually learned a few things that I

Well, it's been way too damn long since I posted, and my last post was really stupid anyway. Now I only have a few minutes but oh well...quick update. Weeks have been moving SO fast lately in my life. My girl and I set a date, so we'll be getting married May 21, 2005 at the First Unitarian Church in Pittsburgh. We've been scoping out reception locations since we're going to do it up right and

Just read this ARTICLE today at nerve.com thanks to a link from Margaret Cho's blog. ********************************************* This part was funny: JONATHAN AMES (Q4: #3 of 11) I do think gay marriage should be legalized. If I were gay and got married, then got a ticket for gay marriage, I'd be really annoyed. How many points do you get on your license for gay marriage? Probably a lot.

The walk in the woods was fun too--those of you who were there know what I mean. (-; After that the day is kinda blurry til I sobered up around 5 in time to drive home...I'm afraid to see the video.

My personal opinion: While terrorism is a terrible thing and acts of terrorism are ultimately indefensible, I read this article that had me asking a lot of questions today. Questions about what the US can do to minimize it's spread and what the US might be doing to create conditions favorable to it's spread as a viable tactic for achieving a goal among the disillusioned people of the world.

Just had to listen to a customer preach in my ear about this book called "A More Excellent Way" that claims that any disease you have is a result of your "spiritual condition". So if you "get right with God" your allergies will get better. Or cancer...or whatever...just pray about it. Forget about medical science...what do they know?!

Blog post in 3 parts: Part 1: Life Update. Well, life's been pretty peachy. I've missed my girl a lot since we haven't been able to see each other very much lately due to life circumstances, but...things are looking up on that front. I enjoyed the gorgeous sunny weekend and survived a day of obligatory imprisonment at my mom's house for Mother's Day. She flipped out because of my bumper sticker

So, over the last few conversations with my parents, politics have inevitably come up. My dad called me last night and we chatted for a bit so it's on my mind again. Being the conservative Christian Baptists that they are, they are apalled that their "sweet little daughter" has turned into such a liberal. My mom had to leave the room at the thought that I would not vote for the "christian" (and I

The article. This is so sad. I truly believe that the fostering of attitudes and beliefs necessary for one human being to do this to another is a direct result of the irreverance and apathy that our leaders have shown about the insane loss of innocent civilian lives in Iraq. After all, if we can carpet bomb them and kill them indescriminately then what the hell does it matter if we torture them

Oh my it's been a long time since I've posted. It's been a combination of extremely busy at work and then so sick of being in front of a computer screen when I get home that I just ignore it. Much has been going on, though. It's no boring life that I lead. Alas, I am at work and busy, though, so I will share a brief funny story before I get back to the grindstone. I'll try to post again later too

I'm a little bummed today. Not for myself really, but for my girlfriend who is just having a totally shitty day. It's so weird when you love someone so much and you see them hurting and you can't do a damn thing to fix it. I know I know...it's not my responsibility to "fix" it....it sucks not to be able to fly in like a superhero and make it all better, though. I hate seeing someone I love upset.

Ok...so I've been formally chastised for not posting for a couple of days. Was SO damn busy at work and just plain haven't had time at home, so lay off already. lol Sitting here at work....it's a little slow (for once) due to the incredibly shitty wintery weather everywhere. In fact, it has been SO shitty that yesterday my coworker, upon seeing the accumulating snow and ice out the window,

I love my job! (maybe if I repeat it often enough.....) Here's a little anecdote for ya: *phone rings* Me: Good afternoon, Christian Distributors. How can I help you? Customer: I need a Bible. Me: Ok. What type of Bible? Customer: I need a Scofield Study Bible, King James Version, published in 1960, Blue Genuine Cowhide Leather, large print, words of Christ in Red, with a concordance, indexed

Just read something AWESOME on Margaret Cho's blog. She spoke out against Dubya and spoke up for same-sex marriage rights and got bombarded with ton's of hate mail....this is part of her response....see it all at her site ********************************************** Let's see. because I am absolutely adamant to fight for the right for same sex couples to marry, enjoy all the benefits that

Sheesh. I've been SO busy today. I don't know what they think they're doing here making me actually work and all. Don't they know I have better things to do like write my blog? I told you they were crazy! So....don't you HATE it when you get a really stupid song stuck in your head that just WON'T leave. Well, all this thinking about my past and all had me thinking about some funny things to

Back to whining about how much I dislike George W....I was complaining about it in the office (out loud)...and my coworker says...."I just think it's so nice that Jesus is in the White House again." *cringe* *vomit* *gag*

hmmm....guess I'm a mad blog poster today, but I wanna get started on the good stuff. Characters which may appear in my blog.... Andrea-Well Andrea is my lifeline. We both went to Grove City, we both work together, and I swear to God our mothers are cut from the exact same mold. It's scary sometimes. She's an intelligent, caring, and downright funny girl without whom I probably wouldn't have

Ok...the communion wafer thing I'll get to later, but I'm already feeling the need to rant. Namely because last night was the State of the Union address and I have such issues with George W. Here is the section of the address regarding gay marriage: ********************************** "A strong America must also value the institution of marriage. I believe we should respect individuals as we

Aaaaahh. I'm finally caving in to peer pressure and creating a blog, and, surprisingly enough, I think I may have discovered my own little niche. Come to find out, I'm pretty unique???!!! Some might even say I'm queer. Well, by golly I am, so that's just fine with me! (-: In this first post, I want to lay the foundation for what I hope will be a forum for me to make my friends and anyone else
