December 5, 2009 11:31 PM Snow background for a snowy day.

Though how old is the banner? The height of LOTR, so I'm thinking back in 2003. I forget how long I've had this blog at times. With the first snow of the season still remaining on my front lawn, I figured it was time to switch over the seasonal backdrop.

Down the street there is a house with a blue, flashing light on their front door. I don't know if this is supposed to be some sort of decoration. I don't remember when it first started going off. If it'd a deterrent for robber, its seems rather silly and pointless.

I wish I had the strength of mind to write something brilliant about what happened today in New York. I don't. I just have this utter fear in my stomach that we are going to lose in New Jersey also and what is there to do about it? If democracts can ignore us in New York, who's to say they won't here? And if Republicans can promise there vote in New York... then walk away, then what's the point of hoping that it won't happen here?

What I do know: I can't be timid anymore. I am going to confront people about their bigotry up front. I am tired of homophobia being the only thing that is condoned, because people back it up with the bible. The bible used to be used to defend slavery. No lies. Look back in history. So was that right?

I am changing my life. I am changing the way I live. I am going to be a better person. Then I can one day look back at all of this and say: It was ok, you survived it and the world is better.

November 30, 2009 12:24 PM Three Weeks, Brian, Three Weeks!

I have a hard time dealing with projects that do not have measurable outcomes and exact wording as to what is expected of us. This professor is tough and I respect her, but she handed us a paragraph of information that doesn't say anything. Now I hear talk of charts and other information that wasn't included and it gets a boy nervous. This is due tomorrow. When am I supposed to put this crap together?
