pedastal

you held me in your thoughts
in your arms
and in your mind....

picture perfect memory lane
ten years of sorrow
or joy, however we touched it

too easy to forget
the way you whispered my name
the way your lips tasted
too easy to remember when

the night has grown too long
and cold only brings the feel of your
hands on my skin to burn

ten years from tonight
who knows what memory will give
giving to love what never was lost
in the first place

Is this the end?

mah nam man na.
I saw some good ole Sesame Street the other day. They say the show is geared towards 2-4 year olds but this 24 year old (+ 2) still gets that warm and fuzzy feeling when learning to count with the man with ten cakes. And I still always laugh hysterically when he falls down the stairs.

I saw the Manamanas and I sang along and it was like being with old friends- the letters A and M, and the number 9. What would I do without A, couldn't spell CAT, you know. Or HAT. Or MAT.

Oscar the grouch was always my favorite, so grouchy and mean.

I DO, DO YOU?

So I see how it is. A woman on public radio the other day (albeit, very intelligent sounding) kept insisting gay marriage was wrong because the term "marriage" is defined by being between a man and a woman.

"That's how it's always been," she said.

I don't like when people use that false logic. Someone pointed out to her that marriage used to be seen as proprietal-a woman was the property attained by a man. She was asked if her husband saw her as property, and she vehemently denied such a demeaning prospect. And yet, she couldn't give any other reason why gay marriage was wrong.

The way it's always been. PSHAW, I say. After awhile she tried to say the "studies show" that children in two parent households do better, two parent/man/woman households, that is. Again, false logic. Two parents, NOT man/woman is the key element here. Mature loving adult is key here, too.

Anyway, I have been curious to hear more arguments about it, because it helps to know what your adversaries and cohorts are saying.


A friend of mine put this on Fster. I'm inclined to pass it around-

HYPOCRITES

Rick Perry, Texas’ Governor and
George W. Bush’s Lieutenant Governor, is in the
process of going through a divorce due to his
wife catching him having an affair. This
particular affair was with a man. Not only a
man but also a fellow Republican in the Texas
government. Considering the current drive to
alter our Constitution and ban gay marriage it
seems appropriate that Bush’s right hand man
having a gay affair should be news. Especially
when Perry personally appointed the man he was
having an affair with to his current position.
This message may seem like dirty pool but since
we are in one of the most destructive
Presidencies in recent history it seems
appropriate to do anything to stop its
reelection. Not to mention you know this would
be news if it had been a Democrat. Demand to
know why this story is being buried. Force it
into America’s consciousness.
