I'm Very Non-plussed...Is that the right word?

Happy belated St. Patrick's day! Yesterday was a very long but fun day. I had class all day and went on a 2 hour hike for my vert bio class. Suffice to say, I was pretty tired when I got home last night. But I couldn't kick back and take it easy because we had people coming over. So I helped Steph get ready (although she did most of the work). She cooked a great dinner; corned beef (of course), carrots, mashed potatoes and salad. The corned beef and carrots were awesome; I'm very proud of her, since it was the first time she ever cooked corned beef. It was a good night, even though a couple of people who said they were going to come over didn't (bastards) and I had fun.

I have a couple of hours with the house all to myself, which means I can watch some more Curb Your Enthusiasm and play some video games. Rock.

It's Moments Like This That She'd be Tempted to Spit if She Wasn't So Lady Like

Okay. So I haven't posted a rant in awhile. I've been boring you with details about my life. I've decided that it's time to force some of my opinions on you.

So the California courts have decided to block the gay marriages that have been happening. I won't beat around the bush about my thoughts on gay marriage: I am whole-heartedly for them. I have no problem with gay people at all; one of my good friends is gay (even though it's been awhile since I've called her....sorry Marina), and I've known a couple more. I just don't understand where some people get off saying that it's okay for one group of people can do something, but another group can't. Where the hell is the logic in that? (I know, I know...there is no logic. Let me rant).

Side note: 'Acidic Drycleaner' would be a great name for a a Kama Sutra position.

Back to my rant. Why the hell can't we just look at people for what they are; as people. What difference does it make if two dudes want to get married, or two women? Marriage is about love people. Bottom line. Marriage is about the love between a man and a women, but it is also about the love between a man and another man, or between a women and another women. Let's just let these people be, and concentrate our energy on things that matter, like the fact that our president gace false information about what's been going on in the Middle East, and the fact that we have the highest murder rate in the world. Let's focus our attention people! For christ's sake.....

End 1st rant, Begin 2nd rant.

I read an interview with Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes) in Punk Planet today. It was a good interview, but it made me kind of pissed at the music industry. First off, the interviewer had to justify interviewing Conor just because Conor has been getting popular lately, much to his chagrin. Why is it that popularity for indie artists automatically means that they sold out, or that somehow they aren't as cool anymore? He made a good comment about musicians being popular. He talked about how millions of people listen to Elvis Costello, but that when he listens to him, it feels like he's the only person listening to him, because he can connect with him. And that's really all that matters. It doesn't matter how popular an artist is; if you can't connect with them, they might as well just be babbling. The interview also made me annoyed at how much the music industry is based on image. Conor made a good point about how mots "music" magazines don't even give a shit about the actual music, they only care about how cool or beautiful people look like. I know, the music industry has always been based on image, and always will be, but I wish that for once the only thing that mattered was the material, the music. At least to me, that's the only thing that matters.

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Rule

It's been awhile since I've updated. So..what's happened since the last time. Well, I spent most of last weekend inebriated. Saturday was my aunt's 50th birthday party, and Steph drove, so I was able to drink. "Boo-yah..." It was the first time that I had seen most of my family since we got engaged. It was really cool because every seemed so excited about it and happy for us. Steph and my sister had a really good time. They get along well, which I haven't yet determined if that's a good thing or not. Sunday, I was supposed to go on a field trip, but I ended up skipping that so I could have another day to spend with Steph. We went shopping and I got some new pants and a shirt. Exciting. I like my new jeans though. Don't take my sarcasm as a sign of distaste. Other than that, not much has been going on. I cleaned the bathroom today, which should make Steph immensely happy, and now I'm watching "Curb Your Enthusiasm." I love this show. That catches you up. Time to eat!

Cilatro's Keen Wally!

So here I am, drinking a beer, talking to Matt, while Steph cooks dinner. Sweet. I think that's about all I have to say. Taco time
