More Bushmania...or Why this Country is Falling to Pieces

Bush calls for same-sex marriage-ban amendment

In an effort once again to rally votes for his re-election Bush has put his foot completely into his throat with this issue simply because it points out the ugly element of prejudice that the US is supposed to be free of (ha ha....we all know that is a load of bullshit). But this ban on same-sex marriages, or rather the defining of the term "marriage" as being between a man and a woman is complete rubbish. There is no room for religiosity when it comes to these matters, and that is all that this boils down to....the Bible with a nice healthy dose of ignorance. Look at the facts people, there is no sacred institution called marriage in this country. There is only this idea of happily ever after that has become a joke and a pathetic reason for those blinded by lust (masquerading as love) to join together as one. Blah! This is not cynicism on my part, look at the figures. We have the highest divorce rate in the WORLD. And compared to same-sex marriages, different-sex marriages don;t have a shelf life at all. There is no value to the sanctity of marriage anymore; I wouldn;t be surprised i hald the unions in this country were shotgun weddings. I don't forsee how this "thing" will ever be ratified into the constitution and if it did, whatever small amounts of hope and optimism I had for this country would be completely annihilated. And the sickening thing is that the majority of Americans, those too busy thumping their bibles to understand how this acts against the very central tenet of Christianity (forgiveness/loving thy neigbor), are going to agree with him and vote for it. Why? Because we have the head of the redneck illeterati running the country. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.

If people want to be married, let them despite their sex, gender or preferences. Who the hell are we to judge and decide what is moral or socially correct when we live in the most morally ignorant and socially blind country in the world. I don;t even see the point of the institution of marriage to begin with, but if people want to partake, let them. Since when did love become political? And why should it have to be? For the love of god, we had a president at one point who was a cross-dresser!!! C;mon people!!!!

Finally got a moment to sit down and watch this show....wow..I am not impressed. The contestants suck this year. I was sad to have missed Marque Lynch last week. I remember seeing him perform in shows down here and in the BTP shows. He was quite talented. Last I heard, he was all set to star in the Lion King, went to make his entrance, and broke his leg on his first step out. Serendipity was not smiling on him that day.

I am exhausted with work and hating every moment of it and I get dropped a bomb today that I might after all not get to teach AP next year. This displeaseth me, but whatever. I hope they hire Sara and Danielle because it would make the job so much easier and they would be a great addition to the faculty.

I am all ready to start on C4U this week. I'm really nervous about doing a good job for Jason and it will be nice to perform again. I really do miss it as much as it terrifies me.

I'm just too tired to type and my thera-bands are calling for me. Off I go.

And this makes Seven....

Yup....SEVENTH time. I got better for TWO days, count them, TWO, and then got sick all over again. Went to the doctor last week, had me say "ahhhhh" and told me it was a bacterial infection. Now, I'm no M.D., but I sure as hell know it takes more than saying "ahhhhh" to find out if a patient has a bacterial infection. But I took the antibiotics, then stopped them when I got better....I know I know....should not have done that. I am miserbale. And it is even worse because I have to up at 6 and teach all day while I am sick and unable to speak.

Speaking of teaching. Truly unhappy I am. Trying to make the best of it, but I hate to working under my potential and towarda a goal that I don't support. The school system sucks more now than when I was in high school. I have never seen such pointless classes in my life that serve no purpose for a student's education. I hate it. I can't justify it. The kids know better. And I won't lie to them just to support those in the Ivory Tower. If things don't change for next year, I don't forseee myself continuing in this job. I can;t be miserable, even for the money. First of all, I am a jack-of-all-trades and I get bored eventually. Being a theatre person, I am used to project-to-project stuff where things change. A steady job is rough unless it stimulates and challenges me. This job challenges me, but not in the way that is productive. I spend more time on discipline than on teaching. I have never before witnessed a more apathetic group of people in my life, and the parents are no better. And administration? Please.....they would sling a teacher's ass to protect their position and paycheck.

My only grace is getting the hell out of here in March to go to New York for a week. I need to go for a while to get refreshed and see if I have an out up there. Of course, I am a wee bit short on money, so look for a "Send the Camel to NY" fun on this site soon. Why not beg? I have no shame anymore.

My dishwasher is broken. Won;t get fixed until Friday. Standing water will be turning nastyyyyyyyy...now. Hot water tap in bathroom is cracked and broken off. Won't get fixed until Friday.

Things be hard ya'll. Tryin to be like Tupac and keep my head high

Was that convincing?
