He's Just Not That Into You... and He's an Asshole

Okay so, breakups blow. They blow large no matter what form they happen to come in. It's terrible to be told that someone you care about no longer cares for you. It's also terrible (and awkward) to tell someone that you don't love them romantically anymore. That being said, this douche in England has taken the avoidance of awkwardness and love of new technology to a new level.

Wait, Who are the Savages?

Over the past few years we have been innundated with the less than kind name calling by several supposedly "civilized" Westerners (mostly N. Americans) of Arab people or those of the Muslim faith. If we are more civilized, than why can't we accept the differences of others? I would like to illustrate my point with the song "Savages" from Pocahontas.
P.S. I find it interesting that Mel Gibson is singing about intolerance.

Cool Word of the Day

Panhandle. Not that uncommon of a word, but insteresting for its different meanings.
1. a narrow strip of territory projecting from a larger area, but not a peninsula.
2. to stop people in the street and ask for food or money. this term arose from the sight of an outstretched arm appearing like a geographical panhandle.

R.I.P. my Fellow Miriam

Miriam Makeba was a South African singer and critic of Apartheid. Her music was in the style of African folk and her support of the oppressed never wavered, even when she was banned from her homeland in 1960. She died yesterday in Rome after performing at a concert to benefit those who oppose the mafia. She was 76. Goodbye Miriam, i am proud to have shared a name with you.

Gay Marriage & the Bible

So i've been thinking about gay marriage ever since the American election. i find i take issue with the passing of Proposition 8 in California and the reasons for the objections to gay equality in America. i was raised a Catholic and i can say i don't appreciate these objectors hiding behind the Bible as their defence for their stance. the Bible is a big book. the statement of gay relationships to be an abomination is only one small part of this book.
and so i've been wondering... there are other parts of the Bible that these homophobes could have just as easily as glommed on to. what about the parts of the Bible that prohibit eating pork and say that all males must be circumcised. only Jewish people do these things religiously; so does that mean the rest of us are going to hell?
also, i don't remember Jesus hating on anyone. Jesus hung with the lepers and hookers; people society spat on or forgot.
i think these people who claim to be acting on behalf of the Lord should answer one question, who proclaimed you the saviors of all our souls?
