www.neil.blog memo to myself. do the dumb things i gotta do. touch the puppet head.

One thing I am thankful for is that I don’t have to deal with my entire family like that every day. They are all crazy. I just sat there and laughed at them.

I didn’t go to school yesterday. I guess when my mom came in to wake me up, I said something about how “i’m still thinking about whether I want to go or not.” I was feeling pretty sick anyhow, and I slept till 11. After that I was feeling alright though. Hung out with Rachel, Casey, and Kirsten. Bought a Smiths covers CD. Went to Moes for burritos. Then went to Uno’s with a bunch of kids to celebrate Rene’s return, yay! It was good seeing her again.

Also today I was happy. I don’t have any looming deadlines, all my homework is done, I have 3 days off, I don’t have any girl problems, and I am healthy, as is everyone else. No drama that I know of. There are mad sales on computer stuff tomorrow, so I’m going to get up at 6 and go buy a new hard drive 🙂

Glenn has one of his weird friends over, and the kid just said this: you guys have a unicycle? I mean xylophone? What is that thing? Accordian?

Yep, life is good.

I know how everyone said if Bush got elected again, they would move to Canada. And nobody did. But I was thinking about it, about how there is probably going to be a Constitutional (hic) Amendment banning gay marriage. And if there is, I am going to be very sad for this country. And I’m not even gay. So I don’t know how they will deal with it.

I hate how everything is about religion. And “Christian Values.” And fuck you guys, it has nothing to do with that.

What do you MEAN, “sanctity of marriage”? Every era throughout history has had its own guidelines on what society considered “okay” in marriage. In ancient times, we had arranged marriages. Then marriage between different social classes became okay. Then women actually started getting some power in their relationships. Then even *gasp* INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE is okay. What is it going to take for people to stop seeing these sorts of boundaries in relationships? The way we believe in marriage now (man/woman) is the only social barrier left in the way of people accepting gay marriage. Your grandmother probably thinks it’s bad for blacks and whites to get married. Why should you hold the same kind of prejudice?

Rod and I have been talking about going to the Bijou forever, but we never did. Yesterday was the last day it was open, since they’re tearing down the mall that surrounds it. We went, and paid $5 to see a movie called What the Bleep Do We Know!?, which was basically about quantum physics, but it really makes you think. So it sucks that we’ll never be able to go again. I can’t believe nobody ever got me to go before that.

This is my awesome minivan. I have somehow put over 300 miles on it, in two weeks. How did I survive without this? I am also posting this from my phone because I rule. That makes me a nerd TWICE in one post.
