I was driving up Hughes Rd. in Madison, on my way back from the Super Wally-World on Hwy. 20 and I noticed that there’s a Cheeburger Cheeburger in the shopping center at Browns Ferry and Hughes. I didn’t know there was another Cheeburger in the area aside from the one on Airport.
That’s all!
Coldplay has been one of the bands that I’ve come back to over and over again during the past 3 months. Since I got “Rush of Blood to the Head” I’ve found so many songs that absolutely “hit the nail on the head.” This song has been one that I’ve listened to repeatedly over the last two days, it’s almost like it found me.
It’s my fault! I’m the one that did it! So it’s only fair that I carry the load that’s caused by what I did! It’s no one else’s burden but my own!
I’ve bent over backwards to make everyone’s life but my own easier and I still failed, I should have just kept my mouth shut.
No it’s not because I’ve been thinking, though I’ve done enough of that for a lifetime. Mo, Dennis and Jackie were over tonight and we had a bon-fire in my back yard. It’s really nice to sit by a fire and just watch it. It was an interesting night, can’t say that it was all fun, just interesting. It snowed a little out here, nothing substantial, just tiny little flakes.
I’ve come to the conclusion that life would be much easier if I could just sleep for VERY long periods of time. Here’s hoping that I 1) am able to fall asleep tonight and 2) can sleep until about 1:00 p.m. tomorrow.
And that is all.
How funny is this, just a short hour after watching Pirates of the Carribean I go home and walk in to find Jackie and Dennis sitting in front of my own TV watching you guessed it, Pirates of the Carribean.
Don’t think I’ll stay up and watch it though, my bed is calling.
Not that I’m a writer by any means, but there seems like so much that I’ve been thinking about over the last couple of days and I just haven’t really been able to put it to words. Maybe that’s not it though, there has been so much stuff floating around that I haven’t been able to organize it into coherent thoughts and having 50 people talking to you every five minutes while you’re trying to figure out what you want to say doesn’t help.
Can you tell that I’m bored as hell right now. Huge change from a week and a half ago. 
Anyway, I was reading through the yahoo news stuff and saw where three senators have pushed a bill to make a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. article Aparently there was another bill like this presented in the house back in may. Seems to me that this is taking it too far. A constitutional amendment that would limit the rights of american citizens? Last time I checked, one of the underlying principles of this country was, “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Now, I’m not gay, I don’t have any gay friends to my knowledge and I think the whole concept of a man being with another man or a woman with another woman is pretty gross. However, I’ve always said that you can’t help who you fall in love with, no matter what you do. You simply are who you are, if that means you’re gay, then you’re gay. It’s not my place or anyone elses place to judge people for what they do or how they live their lives, barring they commit some crime against humanity or break an established law. I think laws were originally design to keep order and peace among society, not to limit people. People can argue reason for marriage and how sacred it is, but the bottom line is that everyone has their own reason. I’ll get married because I deeply love someone and want to spend the rest of my life with that person, because I can’t imagine doing things without them, because I want them to be a part of everything that I do and everything that I am. Because I want to start a family with that one person and grow old with that person, watching our children grow-up and looking forward to grandchildren. Those are just some of the reason I have for wanting to be married at some point but I’m sure that you (who ever reads this) has other reasons and those are for you to have, not for the government to tell you. Seems like liberal commentary coming from a fairly conservative person, but I guess deep down a try conservative wants as little influence from the government as possible and I don’t think it’s the government’s right to ban ANY kind of marriage between two human beings. It’s GOD’s right to judge, not ours.
P.S. Thanks Gee-off, I’m still dumb but atleast now I can link! 
Here’s a bit of perspective to get you thinking about why we love the holidays and what they mean to us. I have to admit that I don’t out right celebrate Christmas like I should. What I mean is I don’t really think of Christmas as Jesus’ Birthday. That said I do think that I celebrate it the way God would want me to. Christmas to me is a time for family and friends, it’s a time for the whole world to be NICE to each other and to treat each other with respect, it’s a time for people to think about the needs, wants and desires of the people around them instead of focusing solely on themselves. It’s really nice because there’s the one month out of the year that many of us act like we should act for an entire year. We’re nice to each other, we’re nice to our families, we’re caring, generous, thoughtful. It’s unfortunate that as soon as Christmas is over we all seem to go back to living our lives the way we normally would, with “ME” being the center of my attention. Don’t get me wrong, you have to think about yourself from time to time, but I think it wouldn’t hurt most of us to think about the rest of us from time to time.
Here’s an email that someone sent me that was what sparked this post.
“Who started Christmas?
There was a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children.
After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else
imaginable, and after hours of hearing both her children asking for
everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the
elevator with her two kids.
Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the
car. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two kids in with
her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn’t take
it anymore and stated, “Whoever started this whole Christmas thing
should be found, strung up and shot!”
From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet calm voice respond,
“Don’t worry we already crucified Him.”
For the rest of the trip down, the elevator was so quiet you could have
heard a pin drop. ”
Everyone spends too much time thinking about the commercialism of the holiday and not the real meaning. In reality we should celebrate Christmas all year long. I think the world would be a better place for it.
That is all!
