(no subject)

I just got the mother of all headache inducing tasks at work yesterday so if my posts and emails are few and far between it's 'cause I'm utterly overbooked and too damn tired to touch a computer when I get home.

One of the worst things about having no time lately is that I don't exercise and then my weight starts creeping back up and I begin hating my body again. Next week no matter how many other tasks I end up with I'm setting aside the time for exercise. If I can stop this now, nip it in the bud, so to speak, then I won't do the emotional downward spiral. And exercise in general leaves me feeling stronger, more confident and happier in general so it's damn near a crime not to make the time for it.

( And now a few thoughts on last night's Lost )

Heh

10 reasons why gay marriage should be illegal

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
