Really random and possibly controversal post.

So with the election near and the economy doing downhill, this should be a fun year…or not. As some of you know, this summer California past a new law allowing same-sex marriages. Now, there are people who are happy and then there are some who are upset by this new law. In comes Proposition 8, “Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry.”

I personally don’t care what people want to do with their live or what they believe in. However, I do think that some people take it way too far. For example, the other day, I was in Fresno and my boyfriend pointed out that this man was ripping a “NO on Proposition 8″ banner on the side of the road. Then I was watching the news yesterday and they were saying how the Mormons are really determined to pass Proposition 8. Read this.

Why don’t people care about things that DO matter? Like the economy, global warming…etc. Why are people always trying to tell others what to do? When it comes to things that they don’t believe in, they’re all over it like ants on candy.

I doubt that Proposition 8 will pass because California is, after all, a democratic state. People can try to pass laws after laws banning it, but I doubt it will go through. Look at San Francisco! They allowed same-sex marriages long before the whole state allowed it. Also, California is not the only state that allows this. So good luck trying to ban it. What a waste of money and energy! 

So yes…the election is coming soon. I might not be able to vote this time because I’m registered in a different county. If the election is on a Tuesday or Thursday, then I can’t vote. I believe that I can still change my address, but I don’t really know how to do that. Also, I seriously don’t know who to vote for. Anyway, we’ll see.

Oh, and another thing that I want to bring up. When you ask people, “What do you believe in?” in terms of science vs god and how we came to be…yadda yadda yadda. If they answer, “I don’t believe in anything,” ask them, “So how did we get here?” and see what they say.

So this topic came up when I was talking to my friend one night. She told me that when her professor asked the students in her class, “Do you believe in the big bang or god created us or something else?” some people said, “I don’t believe in anything.” Isn’t that so bullshit though? How can you not believe in anything? Even if you believe that we magically appeared on earth by some unknown force, it’s still believing in something. If you think that aliens came and dropped us off, that’s believing in something. If the dinosaurs made us, that’s believing in something. You have to believe in something, even if the idea is far-fetched. If they don’t have any idea of how we came to be, then that’s a different story.

So shifting topics to something a little less touchy. Remember this friend I had who was kind of odd. So after I told her how I felt about her attitude towards me, our friendship have not been the same. She usually calls me and tell her all her exciting news, etc. So after the confrontation, I haven’t really hung out with her. Over the summer, she applied for a teaching job in North Korea. I didn’t know about that until my friend told me. Yeah, she told me herself later, but only because I called/e-mailed her and see how she’s doing and for her birthday. Anyway, I guess she got accepted. Again, I found out from another friend. This other friend is someone that she met about a year or two ago and they aren’t really closed or anything. So imagined my surprise when she called her instead of me. WTF!

In other news, it’s getting super cold here (sadly, we will never get snow)! I was up at 5 am for school and as I was waiting for the bus, I wanted to die. I couldn’t feel my hands, feet, nose, anything. Oh, and on the bus ride home, I think I was snoring loudly. I hope not. I didn’t want to scare people around me with my loud snoring.
