"Walking the Line: My Family"

A good friend of mine wrote something cutting to the heart of a modern issue, and invited me to share it, which I'm all for!

Walking the Line: "It Gets Better": "My friend BreiAnne shared this video with me this morning. I don't generally approve of the things Obama does, but this really renewed m..."

Walking the Line: My Family: "My last post was about stopping hatred. I don't enjoy hearing about all the CHILDREN in this country committing suicide because they felt li..."

Also, re: Plants Vs Zombies

It seems that it wasn't unlocked free with my computer, but instead was a limited number of full version activations. I only learned this after expending them. At least I got that damn record player.

My friend is in Japan

I have his in-progress photo album.

Instead of wasting time talking, I will hastily post it post-haste.

Grrawwrrr...

I've been playing Plants Vs Zombies for much of the past two days. S-stupid Zen Garden, it's not like I want to play music for you or anything, so don't think I do!

And, more significantly, the day before that, I got an amazing haircut while on the way to the doctor's for a rechecking. I feel great about it. Then my doctor was very glad I was feeling great, which made me feel even better! People happy you're happy makes you happy, clearly. Then I went to see my sister and grandmother for dinner, during which I heard a very sad story (the harassed gay musician who lost it and jumped off a bridge. While waiting in the hospital on the way back home, I saw it reported on the television, followed by a report of a wide flooding along the east coast. I still could smile and chat with the lady that took my blood (and was told that if fifty people a day were more like me about it her job would be a lot easier--my arm vein's really visible and I don't have trouble with needles!). That was my Friday, and I enjoyed it.

Weekend could have done with less zombies though.

Sincerely, Plants.

I have a grain of sand in my eye

...And I cannot get it out.

"Wait... I really did leave, right?"

This is my friend's new wallpaper on his iPhone. He left Pennsylvania on the 2nd.

He's ostentably in New Mexico. I don't believe him, I asked him where all the sand was. He said he expected more sand too. Instead, he's out there with this:

One more step. Keep moving forward, America.

Waahoooo! Just from some of the words in here, like "Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown refused to defend Proposition 8, prodding the sponsors of the initiative to hire a legal team experienced in U.S. Supreme Court litigation," and "The federal challenge was filed on behalf of a gay couple in Southern California and a lesbian couple in Berkeley. They are being represented by former Solicitor General Ted Olson, a conservative, and noted litigator David Boies, who squared off against Olson in Bush vs. Gore," seriously make me light up with hope. This isn't a struggled-out single victory. This is the pressing of a momentum that's going to roll right up to capitol hill.

Judge strikes down Prop. 8, allows gay marriage in California - latimes.com

A federal judge in San Francisco decided today that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry, striking down Proposition 8 , the voter approved ballot measure that banned same-sex unions.

My [today] is getting better. I've got high hopes for [tomorrow].

In other, less political news, my friend impressed some members just got invited, admission-free, to an intellectual summit in California. She lives in northern Europe. She can't go. It's a bittersweet experience.
