Disappointment

So I was truly stunned when the results on Prop #8 came in on Wednesday and the majority of the voters agreed to pass that stupid measure. I can't believe I live in a state that would amend the constitution and take rights away people. I thought if we could vote a black man into office we could also help gays. But I guess the majority of people in California aren't open to gays yet. Women had to fight to get the vote so I guess gays will have to fight longer too. But really people, I would have thought we would be more opened minded by now. I guess I was wrong.

When I came here from Michigan I must say I hadn't met a gay person (well, one that was out). Then I met several and you know what? They are no different except they happen to have feelings for the same sex. That's it people. I guess loving the same sex is "scary" for those "yes voters." If these "yes voters" were suddenly told they couldn't be married anymore because being single was the new thing, I am sure they would understand the plight of gays.

Gays want the same rights as us man/women relationship people. If you have ever truly loved a person you would know you can't help loving that person. In my opinion, you can't chose who you love, it just happens. And all people should be free to love who they want. I don't feel the government should tell people who to love. Its really none of their business. I would like people to look at the world as "Citizens of Earth." At the end of the day, we are all people of earth and we should all have the same rights being we are all citizens.

If aliens came to earth right now they wouldn't see us as man/woman relationship people but they would see us earthlings. Wouldn't it be a great place if we all looked at each other as citzens of earth so we can start picking on those Klingons?

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
