updates and mythology and rememberance
Hi kids, I've been meaning to get on here an update, but you know how life is (those of you that have one, email me and let me know what it's like.)
Let's see...where to begin:
Well, during all this catch up time I actually got around to updating my site as well, so whoopdy-doo. Mostly on the ART and LINKS page. I did get featured in the local paper under the heading: "Charitable artiest makes theater sideshow". Kewl. I'm an artist. Do I get to me moody and tempermental now?
I've been watching the whole "born different" campaign in TV ads and now on radio. The whole idea is stupid. I've seen the "science" behind the idea that people are born gay. Here's my problem with it: it's B.S. Simply and clearly put. When you're born, you have only one sexual predisposition: to have some. Eventually your hormones kick in and you want to get "busy" with someone (or yourself). Your entire life up to that moment is what determines where and with whom you want to "mate" with (let's not forget the genetic predisposition to procreate here). So your sociology is what dictates your sexual preference. Family, experience, even religion...THAT all has more bearing on your preference that how you're "born".
Now, speaking specifically about the born different ad idea: it's stupid. The idea of a dog mooing makes the whole idea of birth preference as mythical as the dog. Sure, they're using the cute element to get their idea across (because the emo boy complaining about political issues he can't spell just doesn't have the same effect) but it's annoying. Now move on to the radio ads and listen to all these 20 something talking head puppets talking about "let the puppy moo". Sure, let him moo, but stop telling us that he moos as all! If I like to look at naked pictures of B. Arthur while I dress in a Roman toga just to get off, do YOU want to know that? I bet you don't. So why do I have to know what gets someone's nut just to accept them as a fellow citizen? I'm tired of hearing about what gets peoples motors going in order to be able to speak with them on more important issues.
My favorite is the moron who has the nerve to say "I don't think anyone chooses to be who they are..." WTF?? Are you kidding me you idiot? Are you that much of a tool that you honestly believe that?! Of COURSE you control who you are (unless you're a democrat that is). You are the only true and genuine final authority of who you choose to become. YOU. You are responsible entirely for what you hold high in YOUR list of personal priorities, you jackass! The fact that they ad makers decided to leave that comment in shows me that the entire idea for the campaign is stupid and pointless. Let them push their political agenda some other way.
Besides, the only reason they're trying to convince us all that they're "born" that way is so that they don't have to answer for their own decision to do it.
The war between Israel and the Hezblah! rages on. I for one commend them for finally pulling their boots up and saying "that's it, I'm gonna kick your ass". I wish we had the testicular fortitude to do the same, and not just with terrorists and the countries who harbor them. Let's grab the tree huggers by their collective scrawny malnurished throats and say "we're drilling locally and you and the damned spotted owls can kiss our ass!". Then let's turn our attention to the borders...ALL of them...and say "due to the inability of others to live by our laws, America is closed until further notice. Get your welfare and free healthcare from someone else...hey, France is looking for more people!"
And remember kids, it's not a war until France surrenders
Speaking of war, I went to a special advanced screening of "World Trade Center" last night by Oliver "my way" Stone. I have to tell you kids, it was VERY moving. I was a weeping baby for most of the movie. In the parts where I wasn't crying and feeling every moment of the movie, I was remembering that fateful day on a personal level. I didn't go see "Flight 93" because they made sure to tailor that movie so as not to "offend" anyone. "WTC" doesn't make such apologies and doesn't even try. It's all about the horror and heroes of that day. I identified most with the marine who saw what was happening, packed up his stuff, left his job and went to HELP! How I wish I could have done the same.
If you get a chance, GO SEE THIS MOVIE and let it remind you how you felt that day all over again. It's worth remembering, keep that in mind.

hmmmm....you have some strong opinions (I must say)
I have not seen the ads you speak of nor do I care too. Homosexuality is a topic I am unsure of. I do believe however that we all have our own individual choices to make and live with. People are people no matter what they choose.
Anyways..... I enjoyed reading your blog. I'll make sure to drop by every so often just so you can make me think.
