| Taxes and jury dutyOk so today wasn't the worst day ever but it could have been better.
So after 4 hours of sleep, (no I wasn't out last night I got off work at midnight) I had to get up at 6 for jury duty where I sat in a court room four about 8 hours and got sent home when they decided not to use me. Not that I have anything against jury duty or doing my civic duty and all. But I could have really used the $50 or so i would have made at the lobster in about four hours a lot more than I could use the gas compensation I'm going to get from the court.
Especially since taxes were due today . I understand why we need to pay taxes really I do, what I don't understand is how when I made a few thousand dollars less in 2007 than I did in 2006 I somehow owe more money this year than I did last. The same percentage of money was taken out of my paychecks, it so doesn't make sense to me. And then paying the taxes, that really is an issue, I can barely pay my bills working two jobs and then I have to find a way to come up with even more money. I can pretty much guarantee that I'm always going to cry at tax time because I never have any idea how I'm going to come up with the money. And I know its going to be even worse next year considering most of my "paychecks" from the lobster are $0 because they've taken everything out in taxes. Yep next year they're going to want a lot more. Sad

| winter funEven though no one reads these i sometimes feel bad that i never post anything on here, so just in case someone does look in on here here you go..... what my day was like on saturday.......
I shivered as my breath froze in my front of my face and I gazed up the
hill. Making my way to the top was a lot harder than it first seemed,
my progress being slowed down as each step I took buried my leg in snow
to just an inch or two below my knee, as more snow seeped into my
shoes. Suddenly a flurry of snow hit me in the face as Shannon laughed
evilly at my scream of surprise when my face instantly became even
colder than it was before, a feat I thought impossible.
To think
that just a short drive of barely an hour up the mountain had taken us
from the dry brown desert to a good two feet of snow, that was more
than I had ever seen even during my 4 years in Ohio. That's what I
really love about Tucson, such a short drive took the three of us,
Shannon, Mandy, and me of course, to a winter wonderland of snow. A
place where we could act like little kids as we threw snow at each
other, threw ourselves into the deep white piles of the icy delight,
and make snow angels that were destroyed the moment we tried to move,
and try to unsuscessfully slide down the mountain without the help of a
sled. Then after we were completely frozen, all it took was a quick
ride back down to the mountain to get to weather that although still
cool, was quite a bit warmer, and more what us desert rats were used to.
After
a few hours spent inside in the warmth, it was right back outside to
Winterhaven. Spending a few more hours outside in the cold looking at
the colorful and creative displays of lights in the neighborhood was a
great way to spend time with friends. Ending the night with hot cocoa,
and a Christmas movie, "Elf" to be exact, really put it all together
and I could never have asked for a better winter day then Saturday.

| So disgusting and sadWorking at a talk radio station I hear a lot of stuff that i sometimes agree with and sometimes disagree with. tonight I heard a horrible thing. A lady called in to talk about how she thinks that cho whatever was sent by God to kill all those people at Virginia Tech, and her church is planning to go to his victims funerals to protest with signs saying things like "Hokeys in hell", "God hates your children", and "you hate your children" and other things just as disgusting. This so sickens me. I do not understand how people can do these things, and say its all in the name of Christianity. The true message of Christianity and Jesus is to love people, all people, and to say that these kids and other victims deserved to die and are all now burning in hell is just disgusting. Nowhere in the bible does it say that God hates anybody, it says that God hates sins yes but not people. Hello one of the most quoted verses in the bible John 3:16 "For God so loved the world...". These are the same people who protested outside of the trial of his murders and the funeral of Matthew Shepard with signs saying that "God hates fags" and "matthew shepard is burning in hell". Its disgusting that people use the name of God to spread hate when it should be used to spread love. Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered, and his family did not need any of that in their time of grief, and why would you protest him at his killers trial? They brutally murdered him and they need to suffer the consequences just like we all should suffer the consequences of any wrong doing we do. Cho whats his name was mentally insane, he had a previous record of mental issues, and this horrible tragedy was a result of his mental illness. It was not the will of God, and these people at the westburogh baptist church have no right or knowledge to say that these victims who were randomly shot by this psycho are in hell, they have no idea of who these people were or how they lived their lifes and whether or not they were horrible or good people. To go to these victims funerals and protest and say they deserved to be shot by him is disgusting. these families are grieving and suffering so horribly and do not need to have these people making them feel even worse, when they are already feeling horrible and suffering from this tragedy that has befallen them. These families do not need anymore pain than they are already going through. I may not always agree with the talk show hosts but the host of the particular show to which this lady called into is considering giving this lady air time in return for her to not show up to these funerals. Personally i think its a good idea, sure i'll have to sit through a show with her ranting with her super unchristian message of hate. but i would rather listen to her than to have her and her "church" group go to these funerals and bring more suffering to these already grieving families. It sickens me to know that people can have this much hate and say its coming from God. I do not claim to know what God wants and thinks, but one thing that God made clear throughout the Bible and through Jesus is that God is a God of love and not hate and that right there tells me that this recent tragedy was not God's will and God is not happy that those 32 people were killed. God is grieving for all those who died in the shooting on Monday and no one has any right to say any different. | | |
| I really think that this is just sick. Just last week I heard on the radio some contest going on, the prize was that you would get to spend the night and have a party in the hotel room that Anna Nicole Smith died in. They then talked about how you could take pictures and do all kinds of crazy things there. then flipping through a copy of a gossip magazine last night, yes unfortunatly i do look through them every once ina while, they were talking about how her diary is being sold off. I mean really this is so disgusting her family and friends have been through a lot in the past 8 or 9 months first with her son dying and then with her dying just a few short months ago and figuring otu who her babies daddy is and what's going to happen to her. And people just keep exploiting her in everyway they can. why can't people just leave her and her family alone and let he rest in peace. However you felt about her and her life when she was alive, everyone no matter who they are or what they did does not need this done to them after they haev died. To go along with this all the videos of cho whatever his name being aired on tv even if it just a little bit. I think if i knew someone who he killed i would be very upset at the videos being aired because it is giving him just what he wanted and that is inturn super disrespectful to the families of those he murdered. Especially to them just a few days after all this has happened and not giving any warning or asking the families or anything. Seriously the media, just really needs to get a respect for those who have passed on and their families. | | |
| Talk RadioSo I work at a talk radio which means that for 6 hours every night I listen to guys that are completly full of themselves talk about the same thing over and over. Which I'm sure means you can guess what they've been talking about all week, that's right Don Imus. don't get me wrong he was totally wrong in saying what he said, but I am so tired of hearing about it! Really though that's not my point. These guys have been talking of course about what a jerk Imus is and how what he did was wrong. which is fine, but then one of the guys, I don't remember which one they kind of all blur together to me right now brought up for maybe 20 minutes that Disney land and Disneyworld are going to be letting gay couples have commitment cermonies inthe fashion that straight couples get married there. And do you think that after bashing some guy all week for being a bigot that they thought this was great? No of course not. They talked about how horrible it was of Disney and how wrong and how the country needs to take a stand and boycott Disney because they are going to be letting gay couples do this. Of course all the listeners called in agreeing with him, save for one. Who said she thought it was great, when asked how she would feel if her 6 year old saw two guys holding hands while they were riding on cinderella's carriage and asked a question how would she feel, she said she wouldn't mind it all, after all her kid had to learn sometime right? So then he brought a completley irrelevant comaprison how would she feel if someone taught her 6 year old how to use a condom? Seriously how do the two things even compare? Anyone at any time could walk by your child holding hands, two guys, two girls, a guy and a girl, or even a person and a chimp, although i think those last two would just be friends. For a 6 year old to know how to use a condom you would actually have to sit them down and have a conversation with them explaining not only how to use a condom but why you would use one several other logistics. Completely different. Also i feel that homosexuality isn't neccessarily something you need to sit your kid aside to explain, it was never explained to me and you know what? Your child is only going to make a big deal out of homosexuality if you make a big deal out of it yourself. I know what the Bible says about homosexuality and all but there is also something else that I know. When I hit puberty I did not sit down look at the two different sexes and then decide to be attracted to one over the other, nothing like that happened ever, just one day i started noticing that guys were kinda cute and so on and so forth. So why is it assumed that homosexual people choose? I am friends with quite a few gay people and have actually had this conversation with several of them, trust me none of them chose, at least one has even flat out said to me " if i could choose i would be straight" and another has mentioned the struggles with self-hate because of the very things that bible says do you think he CHOSE to be homosexual? Something else I know God created everyone and loves us all and does not choose who she loves and neither should we. If God himself doesn't choose why should we, we have no right to judge or condemn anyone and these people are doing it all over the place, first they condemn someone for being a bigot then they turn around and do the exact same thing and see nothing wrong with it. It just bothers me that they can go on and on about people bad talking others and then do the exact same thing to a different groups of people. It is not for us to decide who is right or who is wrong in who they love but it is our job to love everyone because they are all God's creation.
