It Gets Better

I've always been a supporter of gay rights and I believe they aren't any different than of straight people. Been reading a lot about this "It Gets Better" how a lot of celebrities right now or whatever are making videos trying to reach out to young gay teens to let them know that "It Gets Better" life isn't that bad and it's worth living for. I fell upon this video from of Texan Politician, Joel Burns and it really touched me. I can understand that gay people have it more difficult than everyone else and I just can't imagine how tough it is until watching this video. It's very emotional.

I Think I Love You... Friends

It's difficult when writing sometimes to not hurt the people around you. When you do this kind of thing you tend to write about people who are a big impact in your life and when you do write about a topic or whatever it's of your own experience and your experience is only the people who are around you (YOUR FRIENDS)

I love the people who I'm with of course, they are a big influence in my life and I love how they make me who I am and I would accept all of their flaws. I can only hope they do the same for me. I love you all and don't want any of you to change even if I really hate your stand on things political, religion, and personal. You are in my life for a reason and because of that I appreciate you and have a lot of respect though I do at times don't show it.

-----

Reading what I wrote up there sounds like you can take it two ways. You can either take it as a goodbye letter or an appreciation letter, which I hope is what you take it as. If I sound like I'm judgmental at times or I don't seem to like your decision on something. Just know that I only think that way because I care and only want the best for you.

Losing my Religion

It's funny after watching the latest episode of Glee titled "Grilled Cheesus" it made me think of religion and how much effect it has on people and how they live their lives. I was brought up a Christian, not really a specific kind of Christian (even though I went to a Baptist Sunday School.) We were to believe in God but not really live our lives around him/her. I know people are offended when saying God could possibly be a "her" but who really knows until we actually seen this "God."

As I'm older now I do feel I am my own person and I choose what I believe in. I have chose to be an Atheist. Yes it's true I don't believe in a god and I know it's a constant argument of why and how and what if but it's what I am. I watch the episode of Glee and I see this character who is gay and his only parent is dying doesn't believe in a god and doesn't want people to send him prayers. His reasoning is valid how if "God" was true then why would he give him a life of people believing his lifestyle is a choice that he would want to live a life of being ridiculed and it's entirety, but what I really hate about his character is how he's so uptight and won't allow others who believe in a God or any religion pray for his father's sake.

I am Atheist but I don't tell people they are wrong for whatever religion they do believe in or do I even tell them why they shouldn't believe. I respect people's religion and I can only ask that they respect my belief as well. Religion is a very personal thing you have with God and if you chose to believe in him/her or not it shouldn't be anybody's concern but your own.

A Lot of Typing but Never Publishing

I sit here at times trying to figure out what to write about and when I start typing what's on my mind, sometimes it would just be pages and Harry Potter size stories of my rant on one subject. I'll reread what I did and just hit the commands Apple Key+A and Delete. I force myself to write at times because it really does help me out when I'm either feeling low or just bored but I have nothing to say or talk about that would be any interests to other people than myself.

Just thinking if I posted every entry I've typed I don't even know that I would be even interested in my own blog anymore.

The Social Network

I've seen The Social Network today and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I'm of coursed shocked how much backstabbing and betrayal there was but as sad as it is, it's business. I don't really buy many movies when they come out on video but I think I will buy this one. I really do use Facebook a lot and to just see how much goes on with just a social networking site is mind blowing...

P!nk

When I first saw this performance at the Grammys this year, I had such a new respect for P!nk. It was such a flawless performance vocally and visually. I can't think of any past grammy performance that has been done so well and if you can think of one let me know.
