A hot girl who likes chicken sandwiches.

Lucia, this ones for you. And thank you for the kind words in your last comment. You made my day. :-)

Prop 8? How do I see thee?

I think prop 8 is like a hot girl that happens to like chicken sandwiches. Let me explain...

A sweet young couple out on a date meet up at local restaurant for a late night meal. She really likes him, and perhaps went a little overboard on the short dress and high heels.
They finished their chicken sandwiches hours prior and haven't even noticed that time has been disappearing from the faded world around them.
Finally that dreaded moment has come. The one that puncuates with a heart pounding kiss and a reluctant goodbye.
On her way home, swimming in the thoughts of her love, the girl stumbles across the road without using the crosswalk. Little does she know that a man in a dark, unmarked car was watching her. Seconds later she is thrown into the backseat of a car. She would open the door and run, but there is no handle in this car, and even there was, she wouldn't be able to open it due to the cuffs cutting into both her wrists.
"What have you got there?" grunts the cop. "Dinner for me? Why, I don't mind if I do. Thanks!" as he gobbles down the second half of her tasty chicken sandwich. "I suppose this makes me your pimp!" he laughed to himself again.
"I'm not a hooker!"
"Yeah, sure your not. And my aunt patunia is a deep sea diver." The smell of his breath suggested otherwise.
Down at the station, the girl is thrown in with the rest of the evenings catch. A druggie, armed robber, purse snatcher and drunk driver.
"Okay toots, it's your turn..."
Standing in front of an old cranky judge who hasn't had a break in nearly 4 hours, the girl pleads that she is not a prostitute.
"Please judge...I'm a straight A student at the university. Ask any of the professors! I would never soliciate sex for money! I've never been arrested before. Please, look at my record!"
And she almost convinced the judge, until the truth was discovered.

"Is it true that you eat chicken sandwiches?" askes the judge.
Taken by surprise, the girl replies, "Uh, well, yes. yes I do. But what does..."

"TAKE HER AWAY! SHE'S GUILTY!"

Does this seem fair to you? But you see, the judge is a vegitarian.

There are many people in this world. God made them all. God made the earth, the heavens, the stars and so on.
We must live together. We are called to LOVE. Our country was founded on the freedom of religion and equal rights for all.
Just as everyone is entitled to a fair trial, so is everyone entitled to the choice to believe or not to believe.
Is it fair that the judge condemed the girl based on his own biased beliefs? He's a judge! We expect them to be impartial. When we vote, we judge. What kind of world do we live in when we judge others with our vote?
Not the world I want to live in, that's for sure.

Therefore, I voted NO on prop 8. Unfortunately it won.

BTW- I made that story up. :-)

Got A Voice?

Want to know how I voted?

Let me put it this way....


I'm way down for the first black president.
I want to take a ride on fast train in California.
I believe in freedom of religion AND equal rights.
Who needs another monument?
Green house gases suck, but dirty politicians are worse.

What else was there?

I'm blessed to live in a country where we express our frustrations and opinions with a pen rather than a gun or a honk in the street instead of a bullet.

When all's said and done remember this...

If you didn't speak up today, then shut up tomorrow.

My life be like ...Gritz

My life be like Ooh Ahh
CHORUS:
It's times like these that make me say,
Lord if you see me please come my way.
Leavin bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip
(flow fingertip flow fingertip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
Got a heartfelt desire be more like you
Trying not to quench your fire by the things that i do

I'm on an island by my lonesome stranded
Low key and stayin’ candid
Reflectin on the things I try my hand at
Search for the equations to persuasions I'm used to
Findin comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
A mountainous fontaine,
Spinnin and monsoonin
Grinnin its high octane
This worlds out wacky
Rollin down the hills cause lifes a hassle
Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
Stay afloat,
Catch a second wind thin is the air I breathe
Teary-eyed nose runnin, wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm callin on my savior to be all that I need
Please forgive me my behavior had me lost at light speed

CHORUS

The fear of never falling in love
And the tears after losing the feelings
Of what you thought love was
Like the dirt still up under the rug
(My life be like)
Bad characteristics covered in Christ's blood
The joy of new birth and the pain of growing up
The bliss between giving my all and giving up
The highs and lows,
Paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze
Trying to ease my woes
In this world of sin
Clothes to thin to fend
So to God I send
Words of help to win
In grumblings so deep letters could never express
So the sounds of Ooh Ahh beneath my breath projects

CHORUS

My life be like (Toby Mac)

My life be like ooh aah ooh
Dum dum diddy
Here comes that boy from the capital city
Last up on the Grits new ditty
But eight bars of the truth will do, eh
I believe there's a pride thats stunning,
And I believe in the kingdom coming
I believe if you seek the truth,
You don't need to look far cuz it's gonna find you

So why, oh why, do I trip and stumble?
And ooh ahh as commitments crumble?
I can't believe that I'm here again?
