Welcome blog readers to my latest post.
It has been a very long time but that time has not been uneventful. To update previous posts, no I never learned to program. No I don't work at Valentino's any more.
Also yes I'm divorced now. I had thought of using this as a place to let off steam about all that stuff but I felt it would end up hurting the innocent. She has a girlfriend now. That's all you really need to know. I'm getting past it much better than I expected to be by this point.
Rant: if you are going to post political images on my facebook news feed either vary them or limit yourself to one a day.. I don't need to see 14 reasons obama sucks or is awesome in one day. you might be surprised about who is and is not part of the choir you are preaching to. Both sides are fucking nuts and if you think your side isn't you are either fooling yourself or you are also fucking nuts.
Now that you've got me on politics...
If I were to vote I would vote for Obama. However I will not vote. Wouldn't make a difference. My state is too far right for my drop in the bucket to count. Sorry popular vote, the electoral college rules you obsolete.
"But Joe," you say... "democrats are baby killers." While this is probably true of most politicians, I think voting in a madman because he agrees with me on one issue is quite a bad idea.
And while we are at it, the whole thing with abortion. Its over. Just let it be already. Ethically I am absolutely opposed to abortion. Legally I am opposed to forcing my fucking ethics on someone else. See to me its not so much a womens rights issue(though this swing from the dems seems to be working quite well) as a FREEDOM OF RELIGION issue. I believe X. You believe Y. We can get along without it coming to making laws to make your beliefs less legal than mine. I don't like abortion so I won't get one or help someone get one. I can control my world without having to control everyone elses.
Same reason I hate militant atheists. But don't get me started there...
Anyhow that's all the time we have for today. Thank you for coming.

Think about why you are morally against abortion? Why? Do you think there is a living person or just a fetus/extraneous being inside a person diagnosed with a 9-month medical condition called pregnancy? I can understand why people who have no moral laurels about it being a living child can be for abortion, but I can't see how someone who morally opposes it can support it for others, even legally. Maybe I'm an unenlightened caveperson? But it goes along the same thinking of any other "crime" in society, someone has to label things. Murder, rape, theft, etc, are ethically bad and thus are crimes in society. How can we say one thing is ethically negative/harmful and is punishable, but other things are not? Why are some things okay? Because it's "easier" that way, because we don't have to deal with the actual problem - just the outcome? Because people want to do whatever the hell they want to do, so leave them alone? If you saw someone abusing their child, would you step in or say "well I don't believe in doing that, but it's their kid." I hate that phrase, "do what makes you happy", because the second half always comes to mind "do what make YOU happy, screw everybody else's feelings". I think a good society is one in which we think of other's feeling FIRST. If we all did that we would be in good shape.
Sorry got a little carried away.. but I think regardless of religion, things that are ethically bad in life or business or anything should be fought against. And it's ONE world, your world is the same as everyone's. And.. I hate any extremists as well - gives whatever organization they're with a bad name, they suck and are not a good representation of anything but a wack-a-doo. Oh and I also hate politics, each candidate has crap ideas and supports their own crap.
