Hospital?

For the first time in my life the rising cost of health insurance has hit home for me. Lately I have been having these chest pains and I have no idea where they are coming from. Its been like this for about 2 months now. But instead of just going to go see a doctor I've just been worrying about how much the medical bills will cost. Thats a shame. I've got pretty good health insurance with my company, but for some reason I feel like I'm going to be ambushed by the bill. And this is definitely not the time to have extraordinary bills popping up. I think what I'll do is just wait it out for another week and see what my body does. If the pain persist then I guess I'll just have to fork up the cash.

Proposition 8

You have got to be kidding me. I mean, thats all I can really say about Proposition 8. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL!?!? Why can't gay people get married? These people want to express their love for one another just like everyone else. Supporters of Proposition 8 claim that it will redefine marriage. SO WHAT?!!? If marriage in America wasn't redefined then black people couldn't marry white people. Quite a few states outlawed interacial marriage for a very long time, that is until marriage was REDEFINED. Why are people so threatened by gay marriage. Hell its not like they have to go to the wedding! How is their love and happiness affecting a straight person's love and happiness? Why do supporters of this proposition care so much? No one is saying that you have to support gays. No one is saying that you have to believe in their beliefs. All they want is a chance at happiness. The same chance at happiness that you want. And for anyone to deny that is just plain wrong.

Election Year

This is a very emotional election for a lot of people. I talked to my friend in Chicago and he said that EVERY police officer in the city is on duty just in case the crowd gets out of control. I am honestly really worried that some people will get of hand no matter how the election goes. I just hope everybody can be civil. I know this may sound narcissistic but I’m kind of anxious at the response from people at my office. I sort of feel like I will be looked at funny or asked a lot of questions. Maybe that’s just my imagination running wild again. At any rate, this is truly a beautiful historic moment in our lives. I feel very privileged to be a part of it. When I was standing in line to vote you could almost feel the energy running through the crowd. It was amazing. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
