Jesus & Allah show up for the ribbon cutting ceremony

Holy crap! I'm so busted. Promised to post weekly, haven't posted since 8/4/10. Damn it, sorry people. What's new? Well, the Muslim scare has gone rampant! Here's the story (my version), Ground Zero in New York... 2 blocks or so away, an Islamic community center sponsored by a Muslim group (shareholder of Fox news by the way) is in the works to be built and it's like really tall as I understand. This community center is designed to bring Islam people and "western people" (reminds me of Bonanza or Urban Cowboy) together. Sort of bridge the gap. Now, I'm not all "go Muslims!!" just like I'm not all "go Christians, Catholics, Jews or Buddhists!" I could give a rat's ass to be honest. I don't have a problem with this thing being built near Ground Zero. I can say that I don't want any church, mosque or temple being built on Ground Zero but near it? Who f'n cares? Apparently a lot of people. Islamic extremist is the fear Americans have. I get that, I understand fear. I realize some people might be really worried that we are going to get attacked again like we did on September 11th. I hated that day too, it was awful and frightening and I would never want that again. Let's try to remember what the Islamic EXTREMISTS (not all Muslim people, very, very few Muslims in America) hate about America. It's our freedom right? That's my understanding of it. They hate our freedom, part of our freedom is... wait for it... FREEDOM OF RELIGION!! Hell-fucking-o! We are allowed to choose our own religious beliefs. What a concept. Islam... is that a religion? Muslim? Is that what it's called? I don't flipping know, I don't really give a shit, what laws are these people breaking? Oh, they aren't breaking any laws? Well then, let them build a God damn community center Mosque basketball court spa fast food restaurant swimming pool shopping mall food court Gap retail store baseball park Sea World Disney fucking Land church temple school homeless shelter tv production studio I don't fucking care what it is movie theater dance hall. I don't care and neither should all these fuckers trying to stop it. Pedophile priests are still in the Catholic churches, Christian extremists are still killing abortion doctors and blowing up abortion clinics, gang members are still doing drive by shootings, politicians are still corrupt and hate crimes are still happening all over our country. This building is the least of our concerns. How about teaching our children tolerance and knowledge of how the constitution really works. Whatever, I said a lot already, maybe I'm just mad because this is all political bullshit and next month it'll be something else. Last month it was immigration and "anchor babies". Obama's a Muslim, Kenyan... not American, socialist, Nazi fucking communist, fascist, not white... whatever. Haters. Try anything to get off the subject of our fucked up economy, the fact that Obama has pulled our combat troops out of Iraq and all the other bullshit that Bush has left behind. Don't misunderestimate me, (spell check just shit it's pants), I know that Obama has pissed me off a couple times this last few months (he's been sleeping on the couch... we'll just say that), and that there's a lot more crap I need to say but it's late, I'm getting slap happy and I'll save my other rants for another day. I just want to be clear... Christians are not doing a good job of being Christian (not all of them of course), the Christians that hang on to every word that Glenn Beck (totally different post coming soon about that fuck) and Sarah Palin say, they are in for a hell of a shock when Jesus comes back and brings Allah with him. They are gonna swallow their tooth when that shit comes down the pike. Buddha is gonna be there too so, get your shit together loons.

This is my big 'ol gay family!!!

This is my family. We are gay (not all of us, only my partner, myself and one of our dogs). We are a normal family that eats together, fight over silly things, share each others success, mourn each others losses, celebrate Christmas wearing matching pj's, go on little excursions to amusement parks and family dinners at Grandma's. My partner and I vote, we pay taxes, we work and mow our lawns. My daughter was a girl scout, my son plays soccer, and both of our children are happy, healthy and strong. My partner and I have done everything in our power to raise them as normal as possible. Occasionally their peers question our family ("Is that your dad? Is your mom gay? Is that your step-mom?") and they answer accordingly. We don't walk around announcing our gayness, we don't put signs on our grass at election time (i do have a bumper sticker or 2 on my car but nothing outrageous). We just live our lives and we certainly don't threaten our heterosexual friends marriages. To listen to some of the bullshit that I have heard over the last 2 years about gay marriage and the "sanctity" of marriage and how the children of our country are going to be influenced by gay marriage and our whole world is going to be a mess blah, blah, blah... it's pathetic. What's going on right now is absolutely astounding. The things that are being put out on some of the news channels are amazing me. I get the super Christians being against gay marriage and maybe being worried about having their ideas compromised, believe it or not, I understand that in a way. The Christians that think they won't get into heaven sometimes get a little crazy. What I don't understand are the people who aren't "super Christians", the people who have had 2 or 3 divorces, the people who are living in "sin" already or the guys who have fathered numerous children with different mothers and don't support any of them. Or really, anybody that doesn't live a perfect, moral and upstanding lifestyle. Is everybody staying a virgin until marriage? Are all the married heterosexual people faithful and committed? This is what I'm saying. Are these people to judge me and the way I raise my children? I don't have a church in my area that is accepting or I would take my kids there. I believe in God and heaven and all that other bullshit and I do think that it's important that we are allowed to love who we were meant to love and guess what... God created me as a flippin homosexual and I was born the way I am, I wouldn't choose to live a life of total disruption and confusion... I didn't go to a college with a dorm life so it's not a "college experimental stage", I'm supposed to have a wife and raise kids with her, that's just how it goes. Whether or not the state I live in recognizes my family as a "legal" family, my being decided what my family should be in like the 4th grade. I believe in equal rights and treating people fair. The country has become a whole bunch of crazy lately and some of us need to step up and show the haters what they are doing. The very idea that someone has proposed changing the 14th amendment so that little Mexican babies aren't citizens if their parents aren't is just so bizarre. It's so 1800's. I mean really? Really? Also, asking our President to prove he's an American citizen? What the fuck is that all about? Really? The immigration thing in Arizona. It's like someone turned on the racism switch and let the white trash fly. I'm in a liberal state and we got the vote to not allow gays to marry 2 years ago. I was shocked. Of all the states ours says no to gays? And now that it's been overturned, I'm joyful but at the same time still pissed off. We have more fighting to do... I don't expect all of America to accept gay marriage but at least California. We need to pay attention to what is going out there. We need to look at the dialog that suddenly is being passed around. It's the Hispanic community being attacked, it's the black community because of our President, it's the gay community and it's the children of immigrants (which is mind blowing because our entire country is made from the children of immigrants and not a lot of them were born just to create citizenship despite what some people say). The poor, don't forget about the poor and the uninsured. This is insane and to have the politicians fighting over constitutional amendments that challenge what our country was built from? That's just pathetic. We will always have the Glenn Becks and the Rush Limbaughs but we also will always have the Rachel Maddows and the Keith Olbermanns. We need to discuss, oppose and challenge the rhetoric and stand strong together. The complete wrong will eventually fall aside but if we don't speak up, they will convince a lot of people to agree with them and this country will become even more divided. I am a proud American and a gay women and I love my country and my family and I will not feel bad about that one bit.

quick one... sorry for the lagging.

Hey everybody! I've already dropped the ball on weekly posts. So sorry. I actually made some good efforts but realized I was a little too buzzed to make any sense, although they might have been funny, I'd probably regret the post the next day. Walk of shame for blogging is not as easy as the other type of "walk of shame".
So, my boyfriend passed the financial reform bill but really goofed on the racist thing with that lady, Shirley Sherrod, from the agriculture department and the Andrew Breitbart blog that made her words really mixed up, he edited her speech to make it sound like she gave blacks better deals than whites. Did I even say that PC? I don't even know, us white people are ignorant... I apologize for all of us right now. It's sad actually. So paranoid about racism that the administration didn't do their homework to find out if it was actually true. It came from FOX news for God's sake, it couldn't have been all that true... seriously... who's responsible for asking that woman to resign? I'm mad about that but even more angry at FOX for putting it out there. Anything to scare us... anything! It's ridiculous that the hard core racists of this country will buy anything just to stay racist. They don't realize that what they are doing is funding the "rich folk". They are living in fucking shacks and trailer parks but giving money to the republican party and puttin' Palin 2012 bumper stickers on the back of their beat up cars that they don't have money for hubcaps or gas for. (I don't have money for gas either but I'm not supporting the party of "no" that are richer than shit...).
I just can't go anywhere anymore without wanting to punch somebody. I saw a guy that had a shirt on that said "Obama... happy now?" I'm like, what does that even mean? I didn't ask him but I wanted to. It's both funny and ironic that this prez has done more for us than any other. By "us" I mean Americans. Not "us" meaning white or gay or Democrats but "us" meaning the American people. That's right bitches... he is actually doing a good job. Have I said this before? Pretty sure I have.
Soccer...soccer...soccer...it has officially begun. Today was our 1st practice and everybody but one showed up (he's on vacation), my assistant coach is awesome and my team looks good so far. I am so happy to be involved in my son's sports and to be coaching his team. Basketball (as you may know from previous posts) was just not fun or good at all for me as a coach but soccer, I know. So, we'll see what happens.
I have been having a great few months at work, Amy and the kids are doing well and overall, my life is pretty wonderful, I definitely can complain but don't need to. Life is good.
I'm still on Facebook, not really knowing what is going on there, kinda irritated that when I say one thing about someone's photo, I get like 75 different comments sent to my phone from random people I don't know. Whatever, I'll figure it out.
Well, sorry for the short post, until more exciting things start happening, see ya later for now.
