A big possibility today

So Governor Patterson is pushing the NY State Senate to put a vote on legalizing same sex marriage today. There's still a good chance it won't even come to a vote, but it's still out there.

As I was reading about it online, I ran across some opposition websites. I have to admit I used to read these website to get fired up. A lot of times they are simply emotional based and typically uneducated people stating things such as "Gays will ruin the sanctity of marriage" or "GOD made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve". I am fortunate to be one of those people who is maturing with age. Sure, I have an inner child and I enjoy life itself but stuff like this doesn't fuel the fire anymore.

I think the same sex advocates are going at this completely wrong, similar to government. Let me break it down for you.... If the President wants something to pass Congress he needs a majority vote. If he's a few votes shy what does he do? He finds those fence riders and offers them something if he gets their vote. Simply put he buys them off. He's not the only one all of Congress does this. BUT if he needs a lot of votes what does he do? He goes to the people...the voters and asks for help.

Who is against same sex marriage? Churches and African Americans. So since these two are our main targets why do we hit the streets of NY per say the Chelsea area. I see people on the street asking for support all the time in these area. It's great, but it's time we grow a pair and step up to the game. Thank you Gov. Patterson for pushing NY in a new direction! I hope that at the end of this day New York has stood up and said, "Everyone should have the same rights!"

Opposition sites if you need that fire: Dr. James Dobson on how same sex marriage leads to beastiality, poligamy and incest.

Just a little tie cutting.....

First thing...True Blood. Biggest disappointment to date. Overall just a crappy way to end a season. It was evident these writers take a few episodes to get the the season going but to end on a note like that?

VMA's. I realize everyone is in a tissy, but I can't help but think MTV and the idiot (whom shall remain nameless) are both famous for pulling stunts at award shows. It's what they do and it works for them. MTV will never look bad for doing this and the idiot will be all over the news for the next week. It's a win win. Any press is good press. If MTV wasn't behind it I challenge them to ban him from any future award shows. See how that goes.


Lastly, I need to talk political. Shocking I know. Michelle. I like you. I like your husband. I enjoy listening to him speak and take comfort in seeing him as a role model for young people as an intellectual, inspiring and overall healthy person. I am talking directly to you because you are what I feel is our only hope left. Sure it's only been 9 months and I could accept that BUT.... your husband has yet to jump head first into anything. He's like that old Reece's commercial where the lady would nibble around the edges, but I need your husband to dive in. We have nothing to regulate our commerce and banking systems. We have no health care plan just ideas and craziness stirring around. Bill Maher called the President out for not stepping up his game and he has a valid point. The economy is turning and I appreciate, but I need you to really pull your husband aside. Slap him around a little, and get him back on track. It's okay if he pisses a few people off, but it's time he begins to dig deep into his campaign promises. It's time to for him to begin his legacy rather than leaving the coward. I'm rooting for him, but he needs to put himself out there and be a leader. I'm not sure if you've seen the West Wing, but something similar to the scene where Abby cuts the President's tie right before he goes on stage. That's all I ask to get him on track.

Dakota's coming to story

So I have clearly become one of "those" dog owners who posts their pics on facebook. I figured I should probably tell you how he came to us.

I responded to a craigslist ad about a dachshund for adoption. We emailed back and forth. She said she took a trip to Georgia and saw him at a shelter. He was just skin and bones. He was a stray and was on the kill list for the morning. Her being a dog lover she couldn't let that happen so she paid the $50 to get him out and took him in.

So I made an appointment to meet him last Saturday. Mind you she lives in Edgewater, New Jersey. For those non-New Yorkers, Manhattan is easy to get around in. Brooklyn isn't as easy but just fine. Jersey is a whole other story. It took me 3 trains and bus ride to get there. After 1.5 hours of travel it was love at first site. He ran right up to me and started giving me kisses. We played and everything was fine. So we brought him home. She only had him a week so all he has is his rabies shot, but that's fine with us.

How can anyone do this to any pet? At least he has a good home now.

My furry little friends.....

So a few weeks ago I was outside and saw three raccoons. Yes raccoons just walking about the streets of Brooklyn scavenging for food.

Well I bought groceries a couple days ago. Put them away like normal. Yesterday I wake up and was about to make a sandwich. Only the ENTIRE loaf of bread is gone. Kyle assumes I'm crazy and they never delivered it with the groceries. I distinctly remember putting it on the shelf in the pantry. So I look everywhere and it's nowhere to be found.

This morning Kyle was getting ready and asked me to make him a bagel, of which we both ate one yesterday morning. I go to the pantry and guess what.....entire package of bagels gone again.

Now at this point, either:
1. I'm just crazy, we all know there's a little truth to that.
2. Someone is breaking into our apartment at night and stealing our baked goods.
3. Kyle has a bread fetish and won't admit to it.
4. We have critters.

I take a deep look and sure enough the bagel wrapper is down in this hole at the bottom of the pantry. So I spent the afternoon boarding the hole up. I thought I moved out of the country!

Well it didn't happen

I got an email this morning. She just said they are going to continue their search and wished me well. So back to the drawing board again. I guess it just means something bigger is out there!

The interview........

I had my in person interview with the Glen Cove Club yesterday. It went very very well. I think she was a little shocked with the knowledge of the clubs and the experience I have under my belt. The club is good sized, but needs some work. We all know I love a little project. She said she would let me know by Friday either way, so the week of waiting.....

Can't we all just get along?

Two things....

1. People stop saying "Government Run Healthcare" I want to vomit every time. It's an option for the 50 million people to get health care they don't have right now! Read it before you open your mouth.

2. If it passes it won't take affect till 2013. If in 30 years we become a government run healthcare, is it really that bad? Our Veterans seem to benefit from it currently.
