Blah

You ever have one of those days, or weeks, where you just feel BLAH? I'm going through one of those times where I'm wondering why I even get out of bed in the morning.

I read the news, and it seems as if we have more enemies than friends. Canada is about to fall apart over gay marriage. The Episcopal Church has people leaving because, heaven forbid, they now have a gay bishop.

In the United States, it seems like most people don't even favor giving us the same rights that everyone else has. Screw marriage rights for gays. That's never going to happen. I tell people that being gay is a small part of what I am. And, it is. But, when you see all the things that you are being denied because you are in this minority group, it becomes a big issue. I suppose I should just shut up and be happy that at least my state has a law that prevents me from being fired for being gay. Why should we even need such a law?

Don't ask, don't tell is going to stick around for who knows how long because our brave men in the military apparently aren't brave enough to have a gay man in their midst. The politicians don't care, as long as they get elected. If they get our votes, fine, but they will screw us anyway when they get into office. It's amazing how fast they forget who helped to put them there in the first place.

I just bought a new notebook. As a capitalist, I should be overjoyed. Maybe I need Prozac. I think I will go get lunch, take it down by the Connecticut River, and just meditate on, as a citizen of this country, what I don't have.
