Prop 8
So I'm out there on a street corner today with some friends holding Yes On Prop 8 signs because we have this whacky and unpopular idea that a man should only marry a woman... and what do we get?
Well.... maybe 60-70% of the responders were favorable - waves, smiles, thumbs up, honking horns.
But the rest... dude. I've never been flipped off and "F U'd" more in such a short period in all my life. I was called a hater. I had a woman scream that she was a lesbian to me. Andrea Brown had some girl pull over, run over to her, and yell at her, trying to engage. Andrea was nice, but as the girl asked "what religion are you, Christian?", Andrea just held up her sign and attended to her duty. The girl walked off, seeing that Andrea wasn't about to engage her in a yelling match.
My favorite was the girl leaning over the driver with a big double bird and screaming FU. I waved and smiled. She clearly thought "no, I'm flipping you off idiot, can't you see? why are you smiling and waving", so she more vigorously double flipped and FU'd me.
Dang. Who's hating? We're just out there being friendly expressing our views in a very non confrontational way. People came at use like we were the devil himself. Talk about lack of tolerance. They can't seem to "tolerate" that we believe a family should be normal. Oh crap, I implied that a man marrying a man isn't normal... Now I'll be called a bigot.
At first it was kinda painful. You know me, I don't like it when people aren't pleased with me. But eventually it was amusing. I'd just smile and wave more.
Interesting thing was the demographic... In general, the No on 8 screamers with chronically erect middle fingers tended to be young, unkempt, white trashy, loser types driving junkers. The Yes on 8 crowd was predominantly the other end of the spectrum.

I guess I'm kind of obsessive. Right now, its the gym. No, its more specific than that. Its body fat. And abs. Yes, I wanna be huge. But I tried that. I got huge alright - in the gut. Stronger, yes. Finally got my bench to 315. Also hurt myself benching heavy, and still haven't recovered. So, after seeing these photos, I changed my immediate goals and approach:
I now hit the gym 6 days a week, including 45 minutes of lifting and 1 hour of cardio per workout. I also do abs almost daily. Its extremely slow, but I think I'm making progress. My weight has barely moved in the last month. I'm hoping thats due to muscle growth... but I'm not so sure. I'll give it another two months and see what happens. If that doesn't work, it's Cold Stones and Peppridge Farms Chocolate Mint cookies. Every night. Twice. And sleeping in. Every day.

Randomosity..
Father when he was young and hot. Now he's just young.
The only one who loves me besides Riley:
She am a crazy mother... She, like, sees stuff no one else does. Like OJ's innocence and the unnamed powers that be. They rule the world. And are controlling you. Right Now. See? You didn't mean to do that did you?
We are a technologically advanced family
