• I’m so ready for George W. to be out of office. For fuck’s sake you’ve fucked everything up as much as you could. Thank you and good riddance. Chris Rock pretty much summed it up when he said you were the worst president, of all presidents. Hopefully whoever comes next can clean up your mess before we become a third world country. I’m hoping that person is not a white republican.

• Sarah Palin did a good job in the debate. I was expecting the “deer in the headlights” Palin, but was pleasantly surprised that she’d been coached well. Good for her! Still, the word is nuclear, not nucular. Even my spell check is freaking out right now. And, the world is not comprised of hockey moms. Just so ya know.

On a side note- she is, indeed, hot. I’d make out with her at a frat party for sure. I’m sure if I brought her the back leg of a dead wolf, or a clubbed baby seal, she’d let me.

• The definition of marriage is two committed people who love each other. Not two people who will get divorced anyway.

• Transformers is still the best movie I’ve ever seen over and over. A very close second is Lord of the Rings. But I’m a nerd.

• Happy birthday roomie! I absolutely adore you and am so glad I was a part of your special day. Even though some old guy kept staring at us like he’d never seen chicks before, and I gave my number to a twenty-two year old. I blame Dirty Porn Stars for that last one- even though I didn’t know how old he was until it was too late. (I guess I have to start checking IDs now.)

Oh and I’m sorry I ran into the back of your truck and rendered my front license plate completely useless. Green means go. And my Saturn is no match for the ass of your Ford.

• To the guy I hook up with from time to time: You rock in bed. It sucks that you’re stupid. However, I’m willing to overlook that for some safe and sane fun on my birthday next week. Holla!

• I need sleep, and lots of it.

P.S. I still love you Angi and Kev!

Peace and saying what you think.

So I recently had a meltdown over Bakersfield refusing to perform wedding ceremonies for gay couples. You would think that once the Supreme Court had it’s say, this would be decided and final. Unfortunately I share a state with narrow-minded assholes who think they know what’s best for people they don’t even know. Because of them, we Californians will be voting on this issue in November.

My fave bloggy friend has published a post about this issue herself, as well as a link to the Equality for All Web site. It is there that I went and vowed to vote NO. Specifically:

I Vow To Vote No on a statewide ballot initiative that is intending to amend the California constitution to ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Gay and lesbian couples deserve the same fundamental freedoms that all Californians enjoy. I hereby Vow To Vote No on any constitutional amendment that stands in the way of equality for all.

I realize that this may not be a passionate issue for everyone, but as someone who has friends and family members who are gay and lesbian, this is a big fucking deal to me. And people who strive to take basic rights away from my friends and family piss me off.

Everybody matters. God loves ALL of us. And we all deserve the same basic rights of life. Period.

Peace and Equality.

On May 15th of this year, The California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. A decision that I, personally, support whole-heartedly and that made me very proud to be a Californian.

About a week ago, one of my girlfriends got a call from her hometown courthouse in Bakersfield, CA. She and her (male) fiance (who will be deployed in August) had planned to marry there in July. She was told that they would not be able to get married there anymore, as they were putting a stop to all civil ceremonies as of Friday the 13th. She immediately knew why, although they didn’t outright tell her that they did not want to marry homosexuals.

A few minutes ago I was reading my Yahoo! homepage and came across a headline that read, “New law prompts Calif. county to halt all weddings“. I immediately knew which asshole county they were speaking of.

According to the article, the County Clerk, Ann Barnett, stated that “the increased demand for ceremonies would overwhelm her staff and pose office security risks.” Are you fucking kidding me? I’ve BEEN to Bakersfield. It’s a fucking shit-hole, nothing town that most of the state simply drives through on their way to places that DON’T suck. I find it very hard to believe that there are just hundreds of gay couples dying to get married there. I’d die of fucking shock if there were FIVE. I’d also like to know exactly how gays are security risks. Do they all carry guns now and threaten to kill those that don’t believe what they do? Oh wait… that’s not gays… it’s fucking intolerant, ignorant, “Christian” heteros.

The rest of the article states, “She made the announcement after learning she could not marry only couples of her choosing.” No. Fucking. Shit.

Ann Barnett is a homophobic, backwards-thinking moron who should NOT be allowed to shut down the courthouse because she doesn’t want to marry gay couples. I don’t want to deal with assholes, who’s faces I want to rip off, but I do because THAT’S MY JOB. Guess what YOUR job is Ms. Barnett? Marrying everyone who has the legal right to BE married. Period. If you don’t like it, find another job where you can inflict your bullshit on others without infringing on their rights.

Peace and motherfucking equality.
