Memorial Day Weekend

Hey all, hope your weekend was fabuluous, mine was quite good. Friday night Nick and I saw Indiana Jones new movie, and i gotta say i really enjoyed it, once i figured out what they were doing with the movie. So ok, we all know that the original indy movies were a tribute to 30's serialized cliffhanger shows. This new indy is also a tribute to the 50's b movies, and boy do they pull it off. sure its a bit long, and a bit trite and boring in parts, and its not the best movie in the series (Raiders still the best), but its definately worth the watch.

Saturday, had a party for Nicks graduation, went off great had some great fun and got a bit drunky, hehe. We made blue berry jello shots, boy i got a bit tipsy off those ones, havent had those in years, but oh boy they were yummy ;)

I think thats all my musings for today, nothing special to muse on today i must say. I cant wait til Dark Knight comes out in July.

OMFG

I recently came upon this interesting clip from someones blog concerning Bush's speech last week from the Knunessent in Israel. Read it and it will make you throw up a bit in your mouth.

Dear Mr. Bush,

Your speech on the Knesset floor today was not only a disgrace; it was nothing short of treachery. Worse still, your exploitation of the Holocaust in a country carved out of the wounds of that very crime, in order to strike a low blow at American citizens whose politics differs from your own is unforgivable and unpardonable. ...

Well Mr. Bush, the only thing this comment lacked was a mirror and some historical facts. You want to discuss the crimes of Nazis against my family and millions of other families in Europe during World War II? Let me revive a favorite phrase of yours: Bring. It. On!

Your family's fortune is built on the bones of the very people butchered by the Nazis, my family and the families of those in the Knesset who applauded you today. ...

You family did not stop with supporting fascists and Nazis abroad, did they Mr. Bush? Surely you must know of your grandfather's role in the treasonous plot of 1933 to overthrow democracy in America? Let me remind you.

Grandpa Bush - that is to say, your grandfather - wanted fascism imported into the United States, or as you now call this type of transformation, "exporting democracy." Prescott went so far as to subsidize a coup attempt in order to achieve his dream of a fascist America.

Weekend Delight

This past weekend was some fantatic stuff going on. My best friend Todd was in town and he and my bf Nick went to this great restaurant on friday night, youll notice the picture attached, that was our appetizer, yum yum yum. I urge all who may or may not read this blog to head there ASAP, of course not quite as yummy as my favorite SF restaurant Perbacco, its worth the evening dining experience.

Sunday of course was Bay to Breakers, and i hate getting up early on weekend, but this was great, since i had missed last years race. My friend Richelle, Tula and Lance had a part at her place on Hayes street, right after the big hill. Was truly a joy to see Richelle, Tula and Lance as it had been quite some time since seeing them. Anyone who has gone to BTB knows what a crazy spectacle it is. I ended up pretty sloshed and even got to try some Absinthe, which is now legal in the US. Im actually quite fond of it. Has a very clean fresh taste, even though it is so strong it took my breath away at the first sip. Im planning on getting some for Nicks Graduation party this coming weekend.

Marriage

Ive been mulling this around for some time, and i think its time to share my mind on it. Im so glad the California State Supreme Court overturned the ban on same sex marriages in this state. However, the conservative christian right nut jobs are frothing at the mouth to get an amendment on the state ballot in November to not over turn the ruling, but also to take away all rights for gays and lesbians.

This whole christian right just drives me batshit. Now, to what ive been thinking about. We in america critisize the Islamic "extremists" for their intolerance of america and our way of life. How are the "moral majority," christian right any different than these people? They are constantly trying to take rights away from people (namely gays and lesbians) based on some book that was written hundreds of years ago and has no basis for our society anymore.
The Shia and the Sunni want to run their country with religious zealousy, the Sauds run their country with religious authority, and now these nut jobs want to run America in the name of Jesus. So how does this make them any better or any worse than our newly named "enemies."

Jerry Fallwell, James Dobson and the rest of their ilk are no better than other religious fanatics in trying to control society to their ideal thinking. Their forked tongues spit hatred and disgust at anything that doesnt conform to the bible. So I tell them they are no different than the Islamic Extremists that they curse and drive this war to its tragic fruition. I dont think Jesus (if he ever existed) would want people to speak on his behalf and claim to know what he would do in any situation. People in this world just need to see each other as people and not as objects to be controlled.

I urge everyone to vote no on the hateful constitutional amendment these religious fanatics will produce in november. The world has not fallen apart since Massacussetts has had gay marriages and straight people are not catching on fire and their marriages are no different since gays have been getting married. Lets continue the practice and move this country past centuries of hate and racism against the minorities.
