  3. ALL I have to feel is first sad and then the fire in my ass to get out in the world and make frickin stand for who I am. I am not quite sure how I will do this, but trust me we all should find a way to throw in everyones faces since we have hear their fucked up opinions.

  5. Make a stand.
    Attend rallies.
    Put together a group to push for equal rights initiatives.
    That’s the problem with a lot of people is that they don’t realize the other side is thinking the same thing. “How do I make a stand?”

    Although, remember that Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks had more success with small steps than Malcolm X had with major steps. People are slow to change, but they respond surprisingly well to a friendly, personable, “non offensive” gay person talking to them. (by non offensive, I mean you can’t expect to change a hard core conservative’s views while offending a whole other set of thier sensibilities. I see way too many people in my town who think dressing in drag and screaming is a great way to change opinions of conservatives.)

    And accept that some people are assholes, won’t change, and just wait for them to die off. Gays have actually come pretty far, and made some major gains. I’m an optimist. I think in 20 years it will be a much more open minded country.

    And I’m gonna shut up now.

  7. I will never forget her…or them ;) ever

    I can almost see the presidential motorcade now. All the chrome, steel, leather, cleavage. Would be quite an impressive and intimidating site

  8. Oh, dontcha worry - I know your trike will hold more than one lady - I’m not jealous. Actually, it’s exciting ;)
    I was with you up until the cleavage - You must be picturing other women :p

  9. Of course you know you get premium seating and also a vote in the other women who will be on the trike.

    You know you were still with me when I mentioned cleavage. ;) Besides all girls have some degree of cleavage, it can just take a little effort to show it off.

    I am hoping to recreate a scene a little like this when I get my trike done. What do you think?

  10. Yesterday was the first time I have really had anything to say about the election. I have been sitting back and listening mostly. Coming from a person who is going to be making lots of career moves over the next 10 years to get somewhere, I hate the fact that I am having to look for all the loop holes so my family will benefit from my work when it comes time.

    It makes me sad….

    Side Note:
    Grizzilla, DAMN! I can take the picture! :)

  12. Grizzilla is good with the ladies :D He taught me everything I know!
    (ok, well, maybe not everything ;) )

  13. Well I guess then I owe a “Thank You” to the Great Grizzilla. :)
    I wanna be a grasshopper too!

  14. Of course you get to pick, but choose wisely, it wouldn’t be a good thing if we fought over a girl ;)

    Comment by grizzilla — November 5, 2004 @ 11:04 pm

  15. And luckily not everything “I” know :)

    Comment by grizzilla — November 6, 2004 @ 12:52 am

  16. You are more than welcome.

    I aim to please and sometimes my aim is true
