Prop 8

Since I think gay marriage is better for gays both as a stabilizing force, for the betterment of all, and as a personal desire; I think folk should do what they can to support this cause. Also I would urge those who believe to make an effort to donate. State law in California requires each donation to be name labeled, saved and recorded, if nothing else and the proposition goes forward, you will and can be known to have made your wishes heard and attach a name to to that desire. In a democracy and a Republic, this is the way and the time to be counted.

Palm Beach needs Help!

Wow first Mark Foley tries to bang senate pages while txting like a 16 year old, now his democratic successor has his own sex scandal!




Report: Fla. congressman paid $121K to former staffer after affair
From Yahoo!

ABC News says Rep. Tim Mahoney, D-Fla., had an affair with one of his aides and then agreed to a $121,000 settlement when she threatened to file a sexual harassment lawsuit.

The Politico quotes a Mahoney spokesman saying that the payment didn't include any government or campaign funds.

The relationship between Mahoney and Patricia Allen began while he was running against Foley in 2006, according to the network, which says the affair continued after the Democrat took office and hired Allen to work in his district office.

Mahoney replaced Rep. Mark Foley after the Palm Beach Republican resigned amid allegations that he had exchanged sexually explicit messages with underage male pages on Capitol Hill.

Allen, 50, broke off the relationship and was fired earlier this year, the network says, citing an audiotape that's posted on its website.

She hired a lawyer and the pair eventually agreed on a settlement. "Mahoney, who is married, also promised [her] a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising," the network says, citing anonymous staffers.

Heros and the 3rd Season

You know I've started liking hero's again the writing is getting a little better and the Company is just evil (like the first season). I'm still pissed that Gabriel/Sylar isn't dead though his character is under going some interesting twists he's still too powerful. Plus why are they sacrificing good heroes to him in some misguided attempt to make him even more powerful?? "Hey Satan, you know what would super cool? If you also had the power to make black holes in peoples minds, why don't we give you that one too!"

Oh well I'm kind of digging Claire's mom and hoping that Mohinder turns into something ugly and does the mad scientist lament. "Man was not meant to meddle in God's plan", speech" Than I can giggle and go play with my Sloth/Armadillo half breeds.

Oh well at least I want to watch this season so that's nice.

What I see before I fly

Debates!!

My god I just can't wait to hear the "debate" tonight. Here's a quick rundown

Mac -I am true change! I was a POW

Obo- I am change I am half black

Mac- One day I will rewrite every law that evil greedy men ever wrote!

OBO- I say we have a dialog about everything and I will give everyone money and a kitten or a puppy. Your choice..

Mac- People hate me because I pissed off both parties whilst grandstanding, that's a good thing!

OBO_ I carefully made no hard choices in all my jobs so that no one could ever say I stood for, or against something. Did I mention that I'm the only democrat that can get elected because I haven't actually done anything for people to hate?? Cause my opponents all have.

Mac_ My running mate has boobs! Your running mate IS a boob. heh I said boob

OBO- I took a two week trip around the world and ignored my family in africa because they are kind of creepy. That qualifies me for ANYTHING.

Mac- I Was A POW!!!

OBO_ I organized a community but that totally sucked so I left and it's still a piece of shite

NEW REPORTERS- O my god this is the most important conversation ever. In case you couldn't understand this we will now break this into 2 second sound bites and explain why we support OBO because of BDS

and that my friends is what we are going to hear tonight.

this happens every day

Many sail the dark seas looking for treasure and tuna

Burning body not suspicious

As much as I liked Scotland i'm a bit worried about visiting again. Apparently finding a smoldering corpse on a golf course is not that, "suspicious". Shouldn't this be a bit weird? Maybe not that normal? Maybe the high level of drinking makes scottish blood flammable? Maybe Dr. Who type aliens are igniting people and leaving burnt corpses?

Reasons to Vote in November

I'm still not sure if this is a positive or a negative but all I know is that if you can't trust cyborgs to run your government who can you trust?

Common loves

Despite E's dislike of video games and most TV, we both agree on many things. One Active Duty Porn is hot, two sushi is good, three, Suede, must die.

tax dollars at work

In Ancient times dark powers worked with eldritch rhymes to gather and control the deeper powers of the universe. Long ago the elder races banded together to destroy this perverted race, and wiped them out of known history. However recent spy networks have detected activities in some of their ancient holdings, though all spies went mad from the evil rhythms, they did manage to transmit this single file.

"The Boy" Here after refered to as "E"

Well for those of you that are curious let me fill you all in on my amazing new boyfriend. We met July Third, dated for two weeks and than decided that the process of dating was over and we actually liked each other and were compatible enough to risk referring to ourselves as boyfriends. It's been a seriously long time for me, (crap I'm going to have to start updated some of these "abouts") and despite my fumblings I'm getting most of the right words out where they need to be. "E" is a bright spot in my head, he's super smart, seriously cute, dirty, and even manages to motivate me. But most importantly he can make me laugh, seriously bust a gut and feel alive. The fact that he cooks and has green eyes continue to make me suspicious that I will wake up and the majority of this will be a dream.
There are some issues in location he lives a fair distance away and is attending university, his career arc will gradually take him from the area in an ever expanding circuit of travel. The good aspects of that are I love to travel, and getting out of oklahoma wouldn't be the worst thing that ever happened to me.
We are of course still working on communication, sometimes I'm to literal or pig headed, and sometimes he's confusingly passive in discussions when he doesn't want to openly disagree. But as with most people I try to see the whole as features that i have to learn to tune my ear to.

Well that's as deep as I feel getting on the a blog at the moment and I'm sure He'll come up in future posts, we are planning some trips and drives and I'm sure they'll be pictures galore if things continue to work out.

Thanks for the advice from the previous comments Chwjohns, I did take it to heart after over analyzing the situation far too long. Good luck with your own project!
Thanks to the rest!

musings

So I met someone amazing, quite seriously there is nothing wrong with this fine ass slab of man. Green eyes, huge brain, driven, cute, a great cook, and he digs the hell out of me (no idea why!). Quite honestly this scares the shit out of me. like, dick cringing, crawl under a rock, wonder why i ever thought i could do this. But it's not a challenge I don't want to face, so I guess I'm going to focus and give it my best shot. wish me luck cause it could be you next time!!

And seriously If you ever read this B I mean it.

Happy 4th!!

You'd never guess what happened to me. Who knows, I might not be single!

Have a safe and happy 4th everyone, Now go blow something up!!

context undone

I'm 33 years old and I've ordered an ASVAB primer test to see how hard it might be ...

somethings not right.
Ideas? suggestions? Advice?
Would it be worth it? Just to prove myself against something that was a childhood expectation?

(while I'm sure that none of my foreign readers have any idea what that means I have every confidence that they can google it
