Well, now my tv has died. I don’t know what is wrong with it except that it won’t stay on. Actually, I’ll turn it on and it will just keep turning off and on. What sucks is that its no longer under warranty. And its not on my Sears maintenance agreement like everything else in the house. So I will have to pay for this out of my own pocket, meaning I will have to have somebody not only come out but I will also have to pay for parts and labor. I’m scared at the thought of just how much this is going to cost me.
You might have missed this, but Brad Pitt has donated $100,000 to fight the gay marriage ban in California. Now I’ve never been a big Brad Pitt fan. I don’t find him attractive, although I can certainly see how people could find him attractive. In fact, whenever somebody over the phone asks what I look like, I always say Brad Pitt. Honestly, looking at my picture on here and you can surely see the resemblance. As for his movies, I have seen some of his movies and do like what I have seen. I have to hand it to him though, this is a great thing that he has done. Sure, he is saying all the right things such as this: “Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though
they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life
they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination
has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against
Proposition 8,”. He very well might truly feel that way. Or he might be doing it because he has legions of gay fans who support him and he needs to keep them happy to remain a box office success. Or maybe he is doing it to keep Angelina Jolie happy enough to still fuck him, as this would probably be a cause she would support since she has legions of lesbian fans. Either way, he did it and he should be commended. I’ve long said that the gay rights battle can not be won by gays alone. We are such a small minority that we need the support of heterosexuals. And not just the support of a small percentage, but rather the support of a lot of them if we are going to win this battle. And although most straight people don’t care enough about gay rights because it does not affect them, having the support of a high profile celebrity like Brad Pitt can only help.

I think brad is doing it because he truely feels that way and he is in a place where hopefully he can make a difference. If the people that spend so much time trying to ban gay marriage spent that time working on their lives…..the world would be a better place. I am not sure why it has to be a big fucking deal. If they disagree with it it doesn’t mean they have to do it or like it. I don’t like red meat so I don’t eat it…..I don’t try to talk other people into not eating it or think that red meat should be illegal. Ok, red meat should be illegal.
Then I was thinking the other night, all these people who are pro life…. I bet that they eat cows and pigs. And REALLY who are we to judge if one life is more important than another. It is ok to take the life of an animal so that they can eat a burger but not ok to have an abortion. I don’t get it just in the fact that all life should be thought of as the same….not pick and chose.
