its your heart that takes the fall...
Ok, so this weekend..hmm...Whitey is grounded thats all I'm gonna say about that. It's a funny incident... now, wasnt so funny this weekend. If you know, you know, if you dont, I'm not saying anything else about it. So Monday night I went to Zete since we didnt have school tuesday, had a good time. Yesterday went out to the quad, climbed the rock wall, bungeed, got a henna tattoo that just came out looking like a really bad birthmark. lol. Last night I kinda just stayed in, walked to Taco Bell with Whitey and Ben,the lobby was closed when we got there, so we walked back and got Ben's car. We watched the original Amityville Horror last night too. I was kind of aggravated at Ben, we were watching the news and the new pope is really conservative, and Hans mentioned that this doesn't look good for gay marriages. Ben was like "good, thats wrong." Which kind of hurts me too. My uncle is gay and in fact just got married this past weekend. Ive known a lot of gay people growing up. Maybe just my exposure to everything, growing up in Boston around everything like I did gave me my extremely liberal views. Ben says marriage is a religious thing and gays don't deserve it. However, I've never been baptised, I belong to no church, I can get married tomorrow if I want. So is my uncle, and my friends, unhuman? Do they not deserve the same rights as everyone else because theyre different? I know everyone's entitled to their opinions, but I really dont see how you can tell me that someone like my uncle who is a great person shouldnt be allowed to be happy and married, with whomever he chooses. The world is still so close minded. I went to the first floor today and one door down there has signs all over it saying things like " Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" and "Vote Democrat, its easier than doing work." Its depressing to me that this "land of the free" applies only to certain people. I think Ive just been exposed to so much more in my lifetime than a lot of the other people here. Just growing up in an interracial family, with gays, with poverty, with drugs, domestic abuse, community violence; Ive seen a lot at 19. Sometimes I think religion is struggling too hard not to change and keep control of people's lives.its becoming outdated. I think its fine to have faith that there is a higher power, to be comforted that your loved ones move on to a better place, but that birth control is bad? Homosexuality is evil? There are a lot of aspects I disagree with. If i was going to choose a religion, in all honesty Id probably be some sort of pagan. Ok Im done with my political and religious rant now. Obviously I just need to take over the world ( or at least the U.S. ) so that we can get our heads out of our asses and live like the founding fathers intended.
