cool, thanks for the tip ^^

That's the word lol

Is housework ever truly done?

omg I cleaned house today and went to clean my microwave.....all I can say is....



it looks like a tomato exploded inside my microwave...I bet my cat did it, he's evil...

I can't do yoga at this time, my body is too out of shape, I am working on that though.

I do daily meditation and I love it.

My family, friends and my cats.

lol tell a crying 5 year old that love is all he/she needs for a gift and they're gonna look at you like you're nuts

I have done alot of thinking over the holidays and have talked with my roommate and best friend alot. I have come to realize I am not a total atheist. I am spiritual but not religious, I believe in the possibility but I am not a blind faith follower.

I like my life the way it is, I am honest, trusting, caring and have morals and values without having religion in my life. I am keeping an open mind and heart to the possibilities.

One possibility that I am interested in Wicca. I am going to start looking into it and see where it takes me.

The only thing I require are:

No drugs, no alcohol, have a sense of humore and be reasonably intelligent, must like cats as I own 2 beautiful cats and any man I am with must like them too.

Preference is no smoking but I can probly work around that as long as you don't smoke in the house (I have severe asthma and smoke can make it act up)

I get annoyed by people that think they have the right to tell other people how to live their lives.

Since christmas is more commercial than anything now, no one is going to stop practicing christmas. Besides if you are pagan you have just as much right to celebrate christmas as any christian since the holiday was originally pagan.

Everyone celebrates christmas in their own way, whether it be about Jesus, Mithra/Sol Invictus/ or about spending time with your family. No one has the right to tell someone to stop practicing christmas.

That would be like telling christians that if you arent part of the sam hain religion you can't celebrate halloween, since halloween is in honor of Sam Hain.

Instead of worrying about what millions of other people are doing, worry about spending time with your family and practicing christmas in your own way.

I never knew my dad, he split when he found out my mom was pregnant and she never saw or heard from him again. I spent every year with my mom for christmas.

Please don't feel sorry for me since I never knew him I don't know what I missed. I feel no regret or remorse for not missing a man i never knew.

I am very happy with my life, my mom did her best to raise me on her own and I turned out pretty well.

I guess I'm odd, I don't like anyone touching me not even family or friends. I don't mind if it's a tap on the shoulder to get my attention but I don't like being hugged or anything like that.

This holds true for men or women, I just don't like to be touched. I will put up with it if it's physical therapy or massage therapy though.

we always did them christmas morning at around 5 or 6am....

This topic is a neverending arguement that can't be won.

I refuse to live a lie and pretend to be straight just to do what other people expect of me. I was brought up to be honest and live my life in the way that makes me happy.

I turned away from religion because it wouldn't allow me to do that. I would have been able to be gay as long as I did not have a relationship with a man, so I would have been lonely and single for the rest of my life. (Unless I married a woman that I had no feelings for and lived my life as a lie.)

At least now, I am a gay man with a chance at a future with a guy.

this thread hasn't died yet?

Yes the bible was around before the constistution but marriage was around before the bible. Christianity did not invent marriage, there were romans and greek that were getting married long before the bible even existed.

If they really don't want gay people to have "marriage" and be miserable with everyone else, then give them better civil unions.
Make it so businesses HAVE to abide a civil union just like they would a marriage, cuz at this stage businesses do NOT have to adhere to a civil union or a domestic partnership.

Some places see a civil union as nothing more than legalized dating. So in order for a civil union to be fully binding, they MUST be given every single right that a married couple has. In which case the civil union is no longer a civil union but has become a marriage.

Seems the supreme courts in various areas disagrees about marriage being a right:

Because the exclusion of same-sex couples from eligibility for civil marriage infringes the fundamental right to choose one's spouse, such exclusion may be sustained only if it serves a compelling state interest. The Supreme Court has consistently reaffirmed that, since the freedom to marry is a fundamental right, restrictions that “significantly interfere with decisions to enter into the marital relationship” are subject to “rigorous scrutiny” and “cannot be upheld unless ... supported by sufficiently important state interests ...closely tailored to effectuate only those interests.” Zablocki, 434 US at 386-388.



There are three decisions concerning the right of a gay couple to marry: Hernandez, et al., v. Victor L Robles, City Clerk of the City of New York, Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, from Massachusetts, and Heather Anderson and Leslie Christina; et al., v. King County, et al. from the state of Washington. All three concur that marriage and the right to choose one's partner in marriage, are fundamental rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. All three confirm that it is unconstitutional to disallow gay couples the right to marry.


BTW marriage was around long before the christian bible.

I always thought marriage was a union of souls not a union of genitals but apparently since marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman, love doesn't matter just their genitals.

I am all for equal marriage rights but it should be made clear that churches are not required to perform said marriages, if they choose to then that's the churches decision.

Marriage itself grants many more rights than domestic partnerships or civil unions. It's not just those partnerships that have to be reworded but also the business that can choose to ignore them. It won't do alot of good to fix the partnerships if they continue to be ignored.

I get along with either, but i develope better friendships with women.
