 Gay Marriages- Are we this closed minded?
 



I am an avid reader of the magazine called Newsweek. They have some great and not so great articals in there but for the most part that keeps me informed of my current events.. anywho... in reading the August 7th issue i read something called The Wedding March and it was about gay marriage in America.. Now I am completly a what i like to call strickly dickly girl, but that does not mean that i dont have friends and aquantiances that are gay.. So I got to thinking and I wrote and artical to Newsweek expressing my view.. Now to see if it gets published.. so for your reading pleasure i give you the artical that i submitted to Newsweek..

Dear Newsweek,

In your August 7th issue I read and artical called (The wedding march) as a straight female with quite a few gay friends, I am saddened to see that unlike so many couples in the U.S. these days, gay couples are still being barred from marrying, instead they have to settle for commitment ceremonies. It is not fair to them. They should have the same rights and privileges as heterosexual couples. Instead because same-sex marriage is frowened upon by most of our nation and the absurd individuals that run it, many gay couples have to forfite decent medical coverage, life insurance coverage, and basically any real comfort in knowing that thier loved ones, regardless of thoer sexual preferance, will be taken care of should something happen to them. They can legally adopt a child and raise them perfectly, so why are they being denied the right to legally marry? I figured that adpoting a child when you are a gay couple would have thrown a red flag in Washington faster than allowing them to rightfully marry.. I just dont understand our close-minded society today or the hypocrits we have elected to run it. After all are we not the country with the motto "ALL MEN(WOMEN) ARE CREATED EQUAL" Now that is what I call a double standard. Just goes to show you sometimes words dont mean a thing. Actions after all do speak louder than words. Give same sex couples the same rights as everyone else. It is only fair.

So there you are.My rant for the evening.. I feel better getting that out of my system.. but rest assured society will give me something else to bitch and complain about soon. They always do.. :)

 Society You Suck!
 

Sucky Society
Current mood: insomniac

i have 3 blogs that i follow closely.. the first being my friend josh's, then dan's, and then springs (she just started) welcome to the world of bitching springles.

anyway..my friend josh recently wrote about a topic that i would like to touch on...

he recently stated that people are getting lazy and fatter and they need to stop acting handicapped when they are all physically possiable to do what they just dont want to... here in lies (they have mental problems)

we are living in a very much looks and money based society... the more money you have then the better your looks.... i.e. new nose, boobes, butt, ect, ect, ect.. we also live in a very lazy society....cars, scooters, personal chaufers.... the list goes on.. fast food joints make it convient for people on the go...

one thing though the automobile was not invented so that you can eat, read, put makeup on, yell at the kids, talk on the cell phone, or get a manicure while driving...it was created soley to get you from point a to point b and sometimes in the same day to point c... but i digress..

wake up society and give the car a rest... you need something from the corner store..and it is just that on the corner 20 feet from your house do not get in your car... walk... it really wont kill you.. and if you are worried about people staring at you.. chances are they are in a car and lazier than you...get over it....

take the extra time at night to make something for dinner.. i used to nuke everything in the micro until i realized that my weight was not actually going down but it was going up.. i have found that now that i take the time to fix something ( bbq chicken pizza, lasagna, waldorf salad, chicken enchiladas, burritos) what ever i choose to make.. because i took the time to make it by the time it comes around to eating it.. i dont eat as much...and do not go to the grocery store hungry.. you will come home with an entire eisle of food you did not plan on.. go with a list and have a snack before shopping...

stop being lazy, selfish, and just generally sucking society.....

 Stupid People
 

OK so it takes me a lot to have a bitch fit.. but boy did they deserve it. The cable company in the area offers digital cable, high speed internet, and unlimited phone service for 120.00 a month.. not a bad deal... well i called the company to set up service at this house and asked them if i could keep the digital reciever and the cable modem that where already in the house from the other person they said no problem.. great then lets get everything turned on.. on problem number one.. boy that moved out must set up a disconnect for his service before we can transfer yours.. ok no biggy.. disconnect set.. cable and internet hooked up.. yay!!!! i have cable and the net.. now for the phone.. disconnect set for monday.. ok again no problem.. connect set for tuesday... monday night.. at home watching my tv and i cant get any of the movie channels.. hello!!!! i ordeded the movie pack.. so i call again and ask them what is the issue.. come to find out when i asked the girl who set up the service if she needed the serial number off the bottom of the box she said no... ends up THEY NEEDED IT!!! well after that is all done and they have the serial number.. low and behold i get my movie channel.. about freaking time.... well tuesday morning comes around (telephone installation day) phone will be hooked up anywhere from 8 am to 12 pm.. no biggy.. 11:30 am..no guy....12pm...no guy...1:30pm STILL NO GUY!!!! Do we see a pattern here..So i call the company yet again!! Come to find out... THEY NEVER PUT IN THE WORK ORDER!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! SOOO...i now have to set up the work order for phone that was SUPPOSED!! to be hooked up that day... Well.. they dont have any appointments until friday.. WTF!! FINE!! I'll take what i can get right...ok friday rolls around.. 9am old boy is here to hook up the phone.. YAY!!!! phone gets hooked up and works.. all right im all good... HA! THAT WOULD BE TO EASY... My guy and I do our daily routine and go pay bills and go the grocery store before we head off to work.. We get back home and what do i see but a thing on my door from the cable company.. (WHOA!! I RHYMED, or how ever the hell you spell that) anyway.... they said they called and left a message that i wasnt home and that they where there to install my phone.. UHHH HELLO YOU ALREADY DID THAT!! So I call the cable company yet again.. I think this is call number 5 with in not even a week.. humm... food for thought... anyway.. they have sent 2 guys out because they messed up and put in two work orders.. DOH!!! Ok so that is all settled and I think im in the clear.. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! FUCK NO...I go online last night (friday night) to view my bill.. $440.95 WHAT!!!! It hasnt even been a week.. Well the cable company said thier hours where 7 am to 12 midnight CST 7 days a week.. ok its friday and it is 11:16pm CST.. I call..i get a message PLEASE CALL BACK DURING BUISNESS HOURS!!!!WHAT THE HELL...So 8 oclock this morning i start calling and calling and calling.. People keep hanging up on when they are checking my account.. I finally just email the damn company only to get this response.. "Your bill is so high because you have not paid your other bill" WHAT OTHER BILL.. I HAVE NEVER BEEN WITH THIS COMPANY.. HELLO!!! (Dork stamp!! i need my dork stamp!!) i explain this to the woman and after another 20 minuets on hold they realize that when i read off the serial number the balance that the guy had where carried over to my account.. fine and dandy BUT I DONT OWE YOU A DIME UNTIL NEXT MONTH AND HELL NO I DONT OWE $440.95. So they tell me no problem we will take off the 300 and some dollars in fees that are on there.. well thank you very much.. JACKASS... any way.. the girl then proceeds to tell me that they are going to disconnect my service on Monday because of an over due bill...HELLO DID WE NOT JUST SETTLE THIS.. IT WAS NOT MY BILL!! So after another 20 minuets of bitching at her for what we just discussed.. she canceled the disconnect... finally everything is back to normal.. AT LEAST UNTIL TOMARROW.. GAAAAHHHHHH!! STUPID PEOPLE..

 Friends
 

I love my best friend to death and the father of her son is.. oh how can I put this nicely.. A PUTZ.. well her parents are thinking about moving and that means that she would have to move out of where she is living because she cant afford it.. most likely she will have to move in with SIR PUTZ A LOT... Anyways.. i really dont want to see her move in with him because of what he has put her through.. all the lieing, cheating, being obsessed.. i mean come on the man calls so much that when she is over at a friends house he calls and calls and calls...she ends up shutting her phone off just so she can have a conversation and then when she leaves and she turns her phone back on she has like 20 messages from him and he is still calling.. GIVE IT A BREAK MAN!!! SHE DOESNT LOVE YOU ANYMORE!! I know there are times when she just wants to be rid of him totally from her life, but she thinks about her son and how he needs a father.... all i can do is sit back and watch from the side lines.. All I wish for her is to find someone spectcular that treats her like a queen and is great to both her and her son.. Well thats it for now..
