Woot! I figured it out!!

Anteph led me to this tutorial site..which led me to want to make my own because people with these sites don't understand HOW slices work, WHY to use them, and HOW to use them correctly..they also don't warn people certain things don't work on macs..also about how animated GIFs are HUGE files that take sometimes 10 mins to load on a dial up connection..they give you CSS and PHP coding and tell you what to replace to customize, but they don't tell you how it works so that you can write your own..

so...whenever I get time to make a tutorial site, I will "teach people how to fish" so to speak..teach them concepts and basics so they can write their own code, rather than have to keep looking online for hours..

Well, anyway, I went to this page and I have been wanting to learn PHP for a long time now..so I thought maybe it'll explain how it works..NO!! It gives you files, you change a little bit of info and upload (she doesn't state that it needs to be FTPed in ASCII mode) the files..

WELL, I got frustrated with that and looked at the files like I used to do back in 1997 to learn HTML..I was so happy to see that the PHP coding is very similar in structure to Java Script..so I understood it!!

So I changed some variables and added some coding to create:

this guestbook!!!

I know it's nothing much, but it's the first time I've worked with PHP coding! and I wrote about 80% of it based off my knowledge of Java Script..

Woot!! I'm just happy that I got something to work! Even tho, it took me a couple hours..I found out that I didn't have the ID number be put in the database, so it kept showing up as not having anything in the db..but I fixed it..Now, I only need to find the "date" code and put it in there..but then, I think I'd have to create a new DB..

Quick Rant

I'll blog about my first 2 days of Fall Quarter (I'm finally gonna do what I've been wanting to do for 4 years) and the fun days with Kitty..

But right now, my quick rant..

Weather Bug screwed up my photos!!! I submitted these photos:

4th of July/Patriotism
Patriotism
City Skyline

and I sumitted them at 640 x 480 like suggested and they posted them, but they're all grainy, blurry, and over compressed..why are other people's photos ok when it comes to compression, but mine are crap? That's great! *sarcasm* I call myself a photographer and the pictures shown to the world through WeatherBug suck in quality >o( grr..

Today's News: Josh's Funeral and What Post is This?

Josh's Funeral

I didn't go to Josh's Funeral for reasons listed in my last post, but Kitty had a good idea, so I might send his parents a card or something like that..

For more information about what happened to my friend, click here..it's sad :o(

I was mentioning to Anteph how I automatically pick up emotions from those around me and when I talk to people on the phone..she said she wanted a power like that lol..sometimes it's good, like if I'm depressed and I go around happy people, but it sucks when I'm around depessed people and I start to fight the emotion and it comes out as anger..and it's weird when I come off the phone WAY happy and energetic after being tired when I got on the phone..just because the person on the phone was telling me about how she just got engaged..

She said she'd like to see the future..I think that would be cool in some ways..the closest I ever got to seeing the future is once I used to see things happen (like stuff falling or someone coming into the room) and it would happen 5 minutes later..that came and went in the 10th Grade..now I find myself almost everyother day having a "deja vu" moment..I thought for a while that it's because I dreamt about it before..but I recently firgured out that I didn't dream about it..it's right before I fall aleep, I have almost dreams where I'm partially still awake..usually I see or take part in everyday mundane scenes like writing, watching TV, eating..but sometimes it's having weird convos with friends at a party or at lunch, etc. I forget them almost instantly..and then I remember them when the scene actually happens in real life..it's like, "I've done this exact thing before!!" and it's like being stuck in a dream inside a dream inside a dream where I tell people of my dream 2-12 times..in 3-13 dreams..it's weird!!

What Post is This?

Oh, yeah, that's right, it's the 320th post!!!! In other words, I got all my posts up at hopemoore.com finally!! Through MT, tho..I hope to have non-MT archieves with a calendar..but not until I set up my site..

I hope to get it so every page will have coding to access a Java Script, XML, and/or CSS file to have each page have the layout form around the content, rather than have an iFrame..I'm tired of people not knowing there is a site connected to the text found in the search engine..

I'm doing the external links page differently, too..

I'll be setting up the fun day with Kitty photos and set up a Chihuly at the Franklin Park Conservatory gallery..

My mom just got the mail and I FINALLY got my pastel orange shirt from StandOnline.org!! I'm SO wearing it today (first day of Fall Quarter and of my 3rd year of college!) to choir! and maybe tomorrow to Intro to A/V Production!! I wanna wear it as I talk to my smoking friends outside the cafeteria and see if I can make the other smokers mad!! (my friends will know my plan hehe)..I still want a Vegan shirt to wear as I eat my 3-meat and cheese sub at school and drink a frappochino (sp?) or something (I don't really like them, but I wanna be ironic)..

I also got a notice saying I have to go down to the Post Office to pick up a certifed letter from Columbus State..I hope it's my Associate's Degree..

ttyl!

Early Morning News: Out of Space, :(, School Starts on Wednesday and Fun Day with Kitty!

Out of Space

Do y'all wonder why you get an error in your FTP clients? or even in mail? it's because WC is out of space again..I'm up to almost May 2004 on backing up the blog archives..once I add the MT archives later today, I'll put my personal sites on the new server and take down TCA and CBOP..I've been slow on getting it done and I'm wasn't gonna get rid of my stuff, especially when it's on my domain..not that it helps much that everyone seems to have files they need and can't get rid of them..I'm still running out of space even after Kitty moved her stuff out..I might switch to a server with 1GB (right now it's 450-500MB) if WC runs out of room again..

:(

My friend Josh from HS Drama died a few days ago in a car crash..I guess he was speeding to school without a license just to get there on time, or he would've not graduated or something..I knew something was up when this fly kept bothering me..I have weird beliefs like when someone I know dies, I don't know if it's their spirit or what, but it shows up as a sign to me as flying insects..such as butterflies, moths, and flies..I saw a butterfly and knew my great uncle had died..there was a couple of other incidents like that, too..this time, I was bothered by a fly, which later I decided to make friends with it and tried to name it..but during that time, I'm like thinkin' "ok, so who died and is now trying to communicate with me?"..mostly as a joke..once I heard about Josh, I never saw that fly again..

Another weird thing is that it seems like every year for the last 2 years, a guy friend of mine has died suddenly..David's spleen ruptured and Josh's car reck..I'm gonna be REALLY freaked if this happens next year..I'm gonna tell all my guy friends to be careful..

Another problem is that I know I should attend his funeral..but um.....I don't do funerals..I know people think I'm mean and evil..I just think I'd like my last memory of a person is when they're living, rather than their funeral or being dead in a casket..I'm a sensitve..if I go to a funeral where people are crying, it feels suffocating to me and I get depressed around depressed people and I would try to fight it and it'll come out as anger..and then if I go to meet and talk to friends, I'd probably be in good spirits and people again would think I'm evil..why do we make such a bigger deal about death than we do life? Why is it ok to miss a birthday party or wedding, but people get mad and think you are evil when you miss a funeral?

I jinxed it, tho..I think the second to the last time I talked to him, I told him, "This will pretty much be the last time I'll talk to you or get to see you.." because I was graduating..the last time I DID see him, he was holding Elizabeth in his arms and was happy..so I'd rather remember that moment as least..

School Starts on Wednesday

Yay! Choir! (Maybe with the GGWG, "Doug", "Charlie", or "Luke") *wishfull thinking*

Fun Day with Kitty

I'll do a snap shot thing like I did with the Labor Day pics soon..

Okey doke..

I found out that it was ICD Soft who let the registration run out without telling me..oh, well..now I'll be paying 5 dollars every 3 months at the new server for web hosting rather than 3 dollars per month..and once I switch this domain over, I'll be paying 6 dollars per month instead of 10..the extra money is going toward paying for hopemoore.com..I might switch that one over eventually to a place that gives you 1GB of space for 8 dollars a month..

I switched H20 - Hope at 20 over to hopemoore.com..it's stil not updated past September 9th..

I hope to get the rest of my blog posts over on HM, get my portfolio over there, etc. and hopefully, quickly, add some new pages and open..

my problem is that I don't have a layout, yet..

Kitty seggested my No1 Wants to Be Here photo..

I'm thinking either that or One Last Show Before Nightfall, A Messenger Exposed, Cherry Flavored, or a view of my neighborhood, or photo of a pepsi can, or a photo of those silos I like on Route 23, or this photo I took of the American and Ohio flags by lush green trees, or a photo of a sky scraper, a photo of a stop sign, the decorative flood walls in Cols, tarot cards, a photo of a speed limit 15 sign, my tasel and robe from my recent college graduation, or..oooh..n/m I want that idea to be secret..

but anyway..what do y'alls think think I should use in my first hopemoore.com layout? I wanna use only my photography in the layouts there..mostly to be different..most people use celebrities or Getty..I'm trying to get away from that and use my own stuff..go through my Portfolio and tell me which photo you'd think would make a good layout..even though I haven't uploaded a lot of my new photos, yet..

*sigh* I'm wanting to get the domain done, but I gotta get work done for Ohio Literacy Network..I'm setting up a bulletin board for them today..if I can get the FTP info..It's been over a month since I've talked to the Greater Hilltop Community Development Corporation..I have to send them my photos anyway..but GRR!! I wanna work on personal projects!!!

*Sigh*

Asifmusic.com is down..thanks to my server not telling me to renew the domain name..that's why it's not showing up..I put in an order for it at the new host and once I'm told the I.P. of my old site, I'll back it up and upload it to the new one when it resolves..

for now, I'm going to upload H20 up on HopeMoore.com like I planned to anyway..

Quick Rant..

And then in my next blog I'll talk about the Labor Day BBQ and Gaduation Day..

Ok, sorry that I'm spending so much time on this subject, but...I read an article in the Circleville Herald and although I read it wrong at first, I think it's very interesting that Jewish and people that don't have a one particular religion are in FAVOR of gay marriages! Hopefully that will get people to realize this is NOT a Christian country and not EVERY religion in this country (or state) is against gay marriage..

But my real rant is how like this quote: "'I believe what the Bible says about homosexuality being a sin. It's not a genetic tendency' [a poll participant] said."

So um..since when are we gonna let an old, numerously revised, edited, cut, and translated words from a (often thought of as) one-sided religion with a "if you're not with us, you are against us", "only our God is the true one", "If you don't get saved by converting to our religion FULLY, you are going to burn in Hell for eternity" mentality be what is in total control of our laws that cover hundreds of religious believes and sects? And I'm not speaking against just using Christianity to govern, but almost any big religion out there would not be good to make laws for a whole country on..it'd be different if the Dude said that many religions see it as bad or something it's be a little bit better..

I also don't believe in going totally secular..I just think we can have decent laws that people agree in with almost all religions, but at the same time, doesn't limit religions..like, prayer should be allowed in school, but only when the individual student decides when and who to pray to..not having a teacher be like "let's now say our morning prayer"..I still don't know why they had a prayer at my high school graduation..maybe it's because our town is mostly Christian..as far as I know, there's no temple or mosque in a 20 mile radius, but there are probably over a hundred churches..back when I was a senior in high school, nothing was supposedly was able to be scheduled after 6 p.m. on a Wednesday night..the really only outside clubs and volunteering you could do was FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) or volunteering at your church..I've seen people being dragged to a meeting lol..I heard it was fun and probably would have participated in FCA if I could drive, but it was funny to see this one girl pulling her friend's arm going down the hallway saying, "You are going to FCA tonight!!" and the girls kinda like, "Do I have to?" OOOH..I got an idea *twitch*..

Anyway, back to the article..

also, he said he didn't think it was genetic..WELL OF COURSE NOT..otherwise how would the group survive? Straight people give birth to gay children all the time and it's not upbringing either 'cuz gay people bring up straight people all the time, too..

Again, I believe it's a spirtual thing..people with be attracted to and fall in love with the sex their soul mate is in in this life OR the person is born in a different gender than they used to be in past lives or they are so spiritual, physical traits such as gender doesn't matter..

Me, for an example, I supposedly was a girl in many of my recent past lives (according to a couple of psychics) and I'm attracted to guys, so I'm guessing my soul mate is male..it would be different had he been born a female..

I'm Eclectic leaning toward Philosophical Agnostic..I believe in different beliefs from many different religions..But when it comes to laws, I vote for whatever benefits the individual..not on what a popular religion or our culture says what's right..

that's my little rant..I'll blog later :o)

Weird Dream

I was going to Chilicothe with Kitty and some other tall guy to sit in their classes at Ohio University..the dude was driving..it was weird because I've been to Chilicothe before, but in my dream, the hills were gone..and there was only one tall building there in my dream..when it got dark, for some reason we had to drive under a roof of some kind..it was wet and crap and there was an old lady walking across the road..she wouldn't move and was in the middle of our lane..so the dude swerved left at the last moment and stopped right before hitting a pilar..well, just like my mom said before leaving, we ran out of gas..we walked to the campus (I've seen OU from a distance, and I don't think this "dream" building exsists)..we go in and the doors open automatically..but I couldn't get into the auditorium because the doorway was too small for my wheelchair..I got in there somehow..I think I walked in there and they folded up the seat to get it through..well, whatever..Kitty and this dude went toward the front of the seats and I was in the back..Ashlee Simpson (or someone who looks like her) and her boyfriend (in the dream, if was my friend from 9th grade French) said I could sit next to them..They had just gotten done with a History Art lecture and now had a test or homework or something..Ashlee's boyfriend showed me the cool doodles he had on his test..the test was ripped on the left side for some reason..I was like, "That's AWESOME!!" and the teacher-lady camer over and said the designs are good, but he forgot the "www" at the beginning of the web site address in this one answer and she also nit-picked another answer..well, she goes back to the front and I stand up and burst out in to song saying how he shouldn't get a bad grade for small things like the "www"..and the rest of the auditorium starts singing as a chorus..IT WAS A MUSICAL!! the song was called "I Think He Shouldn't Fail" Later, Ashlee comes back into the room saying she found the love of her life in the hallway..so the song she sang to the late-leaving students was "I Found the Love of My Life (Just Now in the Hallway)"..

That was weird...

*Sigh* I hate being selfish, Logo, and Working

Maybe I should see a psychiatrist..Is there some kind miracle drug that can make me think normal? To make me less selfish? To make me become a cell in a larger oganism? To make me conform? To see things at face value? To not care? To keep quiet? To not question EVERYTHING?

sigh..I also get told that what I say is wrong or I have alterior motives..I don't usually, but I've gotten to the point where I've even conviced myself that something AND its opposite are both true..even if it's contridictory..that's why my thinking over the years have become more abstract I guess..

I just hate feeling bad or stressed because I think different..

Logo

Woot! I got Logo on my computer! I know, wooptidoo, right? It's just that I haven't used it in 7 years, and yet I'm making better shapes than I did back then..and that's WITHOUT relearning the programing language! It helps to know Java Script I guess..ironically, it's Logo that made learning HTML easier and HTML made Java Script easy to learn..

Oh, and it was funny, cuz I was looking through teacher's bulletin board posts about their classes and it dawned on me how I think way different than I did back in VIKES..(this "Thinking different" is NOT the "abstract" thinking I was talking about above)..like the brainstorming..They brainstormed about what can be found in a pocket..back in 3-6th, heck, from 1st to 9th or something..I would have said, "Money" or "Wallet" or "Keys"..but now, it's hard to even come up with THOSE answers..I had to ask my dad for the "keys" one..NOW the only answers I can think of is "a hole", "a hand", "Nothing", "Air", etc...gawd, they sound negative, but what I mean is that I now think more in concepts rather than objects..

My memory's weird..I asked my mom her earliest memory and her's where somewhat negative..mine are when the way I saw things changed and can remember how it felt to think the other way..one of my earliest memories from school was learning the letter "P"..it was weird! My parents taught me to sound out and read words when I was 4 or someting and we learned it also in Kindergarten (5 years old)..but for some reason the letter "P" wouldn't click in my head..I could read it, but not write it..the problem with that is that the letter "P" is in my name..you'd think "Hope" would be an easy name for a 4 year old..BUT NO!! I was a garden tool until I was 5..but I still remember was it felt like to get excited to know that that day we were learning the letter "P"..I was determined to learn it! lol..go figure..

Working

I set up a forum for WC and I'm moving things over to hopemoore.com as we speak..so hopefully I can be totally moved by next quarter..

Today's News: Yes, I know I'm weird and *sigh* I hope I can graduate

Yes, I Know I'm Weird

Lately I've been wondering if my weight problem might be related to some kind of thyroid problem..among other symptoms, my weight fluctuates 5-10 pounds in 24 hours..my throat swells and sometimes goes down..I have adema in my legs and feet..of course when I lose the 10 pounds in a day, it's when I'm not swollen and then I gain the weight back when I look swollen again..I notice vegetables and fruit helps a little..that's why I lost 10 pounds in about 24 hours once cuz I ate two salads in that amount of time..

WELL..on to the weird stuff..

I've been wanting to get into psychometry and healing..especially with chakras..I've experimented a little bit and it (or because of a placebo effect) has made me healthier and my artistic drive went up..tho lately, I've slacked off on the meditation and I've gone back to my old ways a little..

well, now I'm wanting to do a little reflexology..mostly with my hands since it would be easiest..and I created a weird theory! This thyroid (if that's what it is) problem started in high school and got worse after high school..I was looking at a hand chart and found out where the "thyroid" section is in my hand..I went to write down something and noticed that when I use a pencil, it presses against this "thyroid area"..then it dawned on me......I used to write A LOT and take notes and doodle A LOT until I went to high school..then we started using more computers and I stopped taking as many notes around 10th or 11th grade..but I was still doodling..THEN I even stopped doodling and barely wrote in college..

so I wonder........will my adema (and thus my weight) go down if I go back writing and doodling a lot?

Even if it's a placebo effect, if it works, it works and it's worth a try..

I'm also going to meditate on blue and eat vegetables so it's not gonna be very scientific, but I don't care! I just wanna try without making a big life style change..

Plus, I wanna lose 20 pounds by Halloween to do my Samara (from the Ring) costume..Kitty said she'd be able to paint me to look like the dead Samara seen on this page..I'm also making a box into a TV with a hole cut out of it, so I look like I'm coming out of a TV when I bend over..

*Sigh* I Hope I Can Graduate

Can't I get a break??? Geez...I emailed the teacher on the 28th about wether or not I need to write a 9th wekly report and I don't get an email by the 30th (which was my presentation)..so I thought I was done..I check my email on the 4th, and see he emailed me on the 31st telling me I DID need a 9th Week report..and to ask my mentor for a final grade..Well, the grades were due by the 3rd (he wouldn't take a late one anyway, and it was Due on the 31st)..so hopefully I don't have an incomplete..if I do, I don't graduate! I told him to give me an E..anything is better than an I..and hopefully losing 10 points won't be too harsh on my grade..

Today's News: Finals, Graduation, OLN, Vote for Who?, Isn't It Ironic?, Projects

Finals
I did my internship final presentation on Monday..I was SO lucky to have John (you know, the "Simon Cowell" of the department?) there! He was in a good mood and kept interrupting me to talk to January (from OLN)..so that helped me not worry so much about how professional my speaking was..He also kept praising me on my Flash work from 6 months or so ago..it was nice, but I'm not used to someone who's know for harsh critiques to give me honest praise..he was like, "You worked hard on those rollovers, didn't you?" .. I didn't know how to answer that (Especially since at the time, I was freaking out about my final project presentation)..I said "I guess"..I mean, it took me a while, but it didn't seem like hard work..all I did was record the song and cut it with Windows Media Player..it was all I had! But it worked and it looked like it was hard, so I'm happy..

I just don't have it online :o(

I've been trying to do everything I can think of to put it online, but I'm having loading troubles and the preloader is screwy so I keep going over it over and over again and it's not working!!! Everything is right though..

Well, back to the final..this final is like the equivalent to the Senior Project we had back in high school..it was pretty much the same subject matter, but at least this time, I showed up 30 min. early and went through everything 3 times before the presentation..But, ironically, one of the things that I got in trouble for in High School, was assumed in College..

In High School, it looked like I was unprepared when I wanted to use the dry erase board as a projector screen..the teacher said I can't use a dry erace board, like it didn't work or something..in COLLEGE, they set the room up so I HAD to use the dry erace board..it worked FINE!

Well, I went through the whole thing from start to finish, from sketches to what I have now..the thing everone seems to like the most is the interactive map on the volunteer and directory pages..that took me FOREVER!! Couldn't I have lived in Rhode Island?? Oh, well..The calendar was the easiest to make because I originally made it for the Circleville Community United Methodist Church site I made last year..Jim (the guy that will head the Audio/Video Production Courses I'm taking starting at the end of the month) showed up a little late because he had to get allergy medicine for his wife..he seems like a nice guy..

But I guess he was an English minor in college..no wonder he was very picky about my grammer..he said each essay was better than the last..but yeah, I still can't get away from writing like I speak..John thinks it' because we are all email-users and we don't have to write as professionally anymore..

Well, everything went well, and when I left the conference room, Arron (or is that Aaron?) Denny was waiting outside..HE KNEW!!! I'm pretty sure he's on John's "liked" list, too, but he was smart and dressed in this AWESOME tuxedo..he looked as if he was going to the prom or getting married to some rich girl..he probably did well..

Graduation
Graduation is a week from today! I just found out yesterday that I don't need to go to the OLN Convention..I'm gonna try to convice my dad to go to the movies or I go take pictures somewhere..I dunno..I don't wanna waste the day by JUST graduating..Kit, Karen, Kiersten, Connie, any of my local friends who read this, WANNA DO SOMETHING ON THE 10TH??? It's a good excuse as any to do something with friends or family..

I met with Leslie of BVR to talk about financial aid..appearently they won't pay $150/quarter for gas anymore..she suggested I take out a student loan..it would help me pay for software, a digital video camera, and books and crap..I might use it to buy photography equipment I've been wanting (right now, I use stuff I find in the room)..so that would be nice..and the costs to pay it back probably won't be too bad..I also have to go to somebody that will tell me how much money I can make without losing my monthly social security checks..I calculated that I'd have approximately $24,000 a year if I worked full time and rose my prices by 5 bucks an hour..but since it's freelance, I doubt I'd be working full time constantly..so, yeah, right now that sounds like a lot, but I'm only paying $200/mo. for rent (in my parents house) and another 100-200/mo. to pay them back for my DSLR camera and other crap I have them pay for..I don't drive yet, so I'll probably go broke driving everywhere..probably start having to pay for gas with a credit card..and I don't pay for my food really..so when I start living on my own, whenever that is, I can't survive on my social security checks alone..

Also, about the driving...My mom has to call to get me insurence (don't ask me why, I think the DMV lady was nuts) (she said she'd call 3 years ago, too), and then I can take my temps (if I can get a ride..at least now, I have friends who can drive me there, rather than trying to get my busy dad or my mom, who has a hard time driving, to drive me there), THEN I get an evaluation to se if I'd physically be able to drive..I don't see why I shouldn't be..THEN my problem is needing to bang people over the head just to drag them places before I get my full liscence..can't ya just see me dragging an unconcious parent or friend by the arm..they wake up in the car out in the middle of a cornfield or near a cemetary somewhere..

gawd, you can tell I'm sleepy..it's 3 am!

OLN
I might get some money from the job! Woot! They had money left over from a grant and they said they might draw up a contract for me to get paid for all the work I did..I wonder what I could buy...*looks up into space.....a thought bubble appears.......a 3D model of a professional-looking digital camcorder apears in the thought bubble and starts spinning*

hmm..I wonder..

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH...A PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS!! So I can use the Black and White lab!!!!..but I need the camcorder, but I wanna develop my old pics, but I need the camcorder evenually, but I miss having control over my prints, but I've been wanting the camcorder for months, but I've been wanting to print my photos for about a year..

oh, well..

Vote for Who?
I saw the president speak..but although, I'm a Republican, I'm a liberal Republican..I'm down the middle..my views are somewhat liberal, but when it comes to politics, I aggree with Republicans more..but listening to Bush was like attending church on a dewy sunny morning..It's a nice atmosphere (it's fun watching people dance like weirdos)..I agree with the first half of the "sermon"..then I start to cringe and want to cover my ears when the "pastor" starts talking with prejudice behind his words and says "we should be tolerant and not discriminate" and within the next 3 seconds describes a law or belief that is discriminatory and unfair to millions of people..Bush called the judges that allowed gay marriage "activists"..and that they weren't deciding based on the written word of the law..well, the judges passing gay marriages ARE doing their job! They realize the belief of one man and one woman marriages are a CULTURAL and RELIGIOUS belief that a law should not be made on if it discriminates..I'm sorry, but the admendment that Bush is proposing is discriminating against Gays and Pilygomists (sp?)..are they somehow subordinate to us straight people? How can people not see that it's just like back when it was a RACIAL discrimination..

*sigh* and people wonder why our world is screwed and getting worse..maybe it's because people can't learn to change their value system..

I'm the same! You won't see me say that being gay is bad or that they shouldn't get married..my values are based on the WHOLE picture..not the particulars such as are they woman and man, but what is driving the decision and what comes out of it and in the case of gay marriage, it is LOVE! I rather see more gay mariages than straight divorces..I bet if and when it's allowed, the divorce to marriage ratio will get better..

I won't vote for Kerry..he's too wishy-washy...

but Bush is too conservative..

So who do I vote for?

Isn't It Ironic?
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I got mad at PETA? Well, during that week, I came up with PETPV (People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants and Veggies), that I was going to create a parody site with and make tshirts and stickers to counter PETA and their psychoticly obsessed mission to make everyone Vegan by scaring the wits out of them..even at Arron's party Kitty, Karen, and I chanted "MAKE LOVE NOT SALAD!!"..

Well.........Look what Arron Kinser is doing..He's making a documentary about slaughter houses and animal abuse! How ironic!!

*Rubs hands together* You know what *evil miscevious (sp?) face* I now wanna make a documentary (well, mockumentary) about Plant abuse..get some actors to wear the bright green and talk about how horrible it is that the plants can still feel when you eat them and get someone praying by some grass because they just stepped on the living creatures (kinda like Ariel on "Amish in the City" and the fish they caught)..maybe get my friends to picket out on campus..Gawd, I need a camcorder!!!!

But I search for ways to be ironic..my life is way ironic (heck, I plugged PETA in an Article I wrote about anti-hunting!)..I've also made a Christian website..one of my client's office is in the Ohio headquarters fo John Kerry..That whole thing about "Brave New World" (which I'm now reading again)..

What's next? A Diet Coke site?
