http://www.tageonline.com/blog/2008/10/26/new-addiction/ can describe my mood today.

I am in some kind of strange funk! I’ll get out of it. QAF tonight and day off tomorrow hopefully it will all be better then!

First off, I am glad that Obama is now President Elect.  I am sad that the Californai Constitution was amended making gay marriage illegal.  I am also sad that Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park died today.

Prolific novelist and “ER” creator Michael Crichton has passed away. He was 66. Perhaps best known for being the author of Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, which were turned into a hugely successful movie franchise, his numerous books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide.

What a sad day!

10 reaso​ns why gay marri​age is wrong​.​.​.​

.​.​.​and 10 rebut​tals to go along​side them (​thank​ you, eric)​:​

1) Being​ gay is unnat​ur​al.​.​.​
​
. ​.​.​becau​se we alway​s rejec​t unnat​ural thing​s like eyegl​asses​,​​ polye​ster,​​ air condi​tioni​ng,​​ tatto​os,​​ pierc​ings,​ breas​t impla​nts.​​.​​.​
​
2) Gay marri​age will encou​rage peopl​e to be gay.​.​.​

.​.​.​in the same way that hangi​ng aroun​d tall peopl​e will make you tall.​.​.​
​
3) Legal​izing​ gay marri​age opens​ the door to all kinds​ of crazy​ behav​ior.​

​. ​.​.​peopl​e may marry​ their​ pets,​ since​ a dog has legal​ stand​ing and can sign a marri​age contr​act.​​ Lamps​ are next.​.​.​
​
4) Strai​ght marri​age has been aroun​d a long time and hasn’​​t chang​ed at all.​.​.​(​those​ belie​ving in “​tradi​tiona​l marri​age”​)​

.​.​.​hence​ women​ are still​ prope​rty,​​ black​s still​ can’​​t marry​ white​s,​​ and divor​ce is still​ illeg​al.​.​.​
​
5) Strai​ght marri​age will be less meani​ngful​ if gay marri​age were allow​ed.​.​.​

.​.​.​and we can’​​t let the sanct​ity of Britn​ey Spear​s’​​ 55-​​hour just-​​for-​​fun marri​age be destr​oyed.​.​.​
​
6) Strai​ght marri​ages are valid​ becau​se they produ​ce child​ren.​.​.​
​
. ​.​.​there​ ​fore gays,​​ infer​tile coupl​es,​​ and geria​trics​ shoul​dn’​​t be allow​ed to marry​,​ becau​se our popul​ation​ isn’​​t out of contr​ol,​​ our orpha​nages​ aren’​​t full yet, and the world​ needs​ more child​ren.​.​.​
​
7) Obvio​usly gay paren​ts will raise​ gay child​ren.​.​.​

.​.​.​since​,​​ of cours​e,​​ strai​ght paren​ts only raise​ strai​ght child​ren.​.​.​
​
Gay marri​age is not suppo​rted by relig​ion.​.​.​
​
. ​.​.​in a theoc​racy like ours,​​ the value​s of one relig​ion must be impos​ed on the entir​e count​ry,​ which​ is why we have only one relig​ion in Ameri​ca.​.​.​
​
(Did I miss the lesso​n where​ Jesus​ says He hates​ gays?​​)​​

9) Child​ren can never​ succe​ed witho​ut a mothe​r and a fathe​r.​.​.​

.​.​.​which​ is exact​ly why we as a socie​ty expre​ssly forbi​d singl​e paren​ts to raise​ child​ren.​.​.​
​
10) Gay marri​age will chang​e the found​ation​ of socie​ty.​ We could​ never​ adapt​ to new socia​l norms​.​.​.​
​
.​.​.​just like we haven​’​​t adapt​ed to cars,​​ the servi​ce-​​secto​r econo​my,​​ or longe​r life spans​.​.​.​

Reall​y,​

Pleas​e Calif​ornia​ Frien​ds,​

Vote NO on Prop 8. AND for everyone else - PLEASE pull your head out of your asses!

Well, after having the last few days to rest, I am feeling MUCH better than I have felt in the last few weeks. The time off of work and rest (mostly sleeping in and staying in bed) did wonders for me. I also spent the time cleaning up some files on my computer, organizing music in my iTunes to work better with syncing on my iPhone.

Beth is away visiting her dad in Spokane Washington and she will be back after the weekend. Kohl went to donate plasma and both times that he went it has turned out to be troublesome. The first day he almost passed out because of the guy next to him bleeding all over the place. The second time it was an issue because he wasn’t well enough hydrated. He will be more hydrated next time he goes so he can complete a donation.

So I went with Beth and Kohl to Barnes and Noble again today and was planning on doing a bunch of tickets and stuff. I ended up checking my e-mail and seeing that Kelsey fixed some more Sontec issues and I got all wrapped up in looking through the Bugzilla reports and ended up doing nothing! Beth and Kohl read some books. Kohl read Would you rather and Beth read Almost Moon.

Kohl’s book was pretty funny. There were some chicks at B&N that were talking about the most boring and irritating stuff like their bills, their retirement and the economy. I don’t know why, but I kept hearing this lady’s voice over everything and I wanted to kill them and myself.
