Everyone needs to know that they should vote No on Prop 8 in California. While I do not live in California, I believe it is the right of any two people who love each other to be able to get married. I mean marriage as it stands isn’t some sacred thing people claim it to be. For instance, look at the freaking divorce rate and how many couples get married and don’t even make it a year. So therefore, everyone in California, vote No on Prop 8!!!
here is my goulash recipe for those who may be interested in it:
1 lb (or so) ground turkey or ground beef
1/2 of a 1 lb box of whole grain (or regular) elbow macaroni
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 tablespoon chili powder
Plenty of cheese (different kinds, ie, cheddar, italian blend), the more the better for me!
Ketchup
Cook the macaroni to specifications on box and drain.
Brown the ground turkey or beef over medium high heat and drain. In the same skillet, pour the tomato soup and cut the heat on low and melt cheese into soup. Add the chili powder. Stir in the drained ground turkey or beef. Add ketchup until the color turns to an orange from red. Stir in the drained macaroni and viola, it’s done! Simple but yet tasty, well in my own humble opinion!

Well, I had a date last night and it went well!
I met him on facebook, although we work at the same university. We chatted online for about 5 hours or so on friday night and were texting back and forth on saturday and we decided to get together at a steakhouse for dinner. So we met at 7pm for dinner and I thought it was something how when I pulled into the parking lot, the only place I could park was in the parking spot facing his car. So we both got out of our cars and said hi and walked into the steakhouse and put our name on the list to get a table. While waiting for a table, we started talking and it never really stopped! We talked about some of everything and had a great time! We ate dinner, I had a steak and he had chicken. After dinner we kept talking and then finally decided to leave the restaurant. We just went outside and talked. We talked until about 11:30 or so and then started saying goodbye, but couldn’t stop talking. We both could have stayed later and kept talking, but needed to get home and get in the bed. We finally hugged and got in our cars and left. I wanted to kiss him, but wasn’t sure it I should.
When I got home I texted him saying I wanted to kiss him but didn’t know if I should and he replied with saying the same. We both want to see each other again and I cannot wait to see him again! We’ve been texting each other like crazy today as well!

Ok, so normally I reserve judgement on people until they actually do something that has an impact on me and now I can pass judgement on Parking Services here at UNCG.
The guys from the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC( came to install or 46″ HDTV and other equipment in our building and were parked in what is deemed a supposed tow-away zone. Normally I surely don’t condone such things, but hey it’s raining and they have expensive electronics and they’re part of the University and are trying to deliver and install something for the University. Well, a woman from Parking Services (one of the higher ups) saw this and came into the building on her high horse and told one of the guys from the TLC that he needed to move, he was in a tow away zone. He said he needed to be close because of the rain. She said she’d show him where he could park only 15 feet away and they went outside. A few minutes later the guy comes back in telling his co-worker to pack it up, they were not going to install it today. They couldn’t park there and couldn’t lug stuff in through the rain. So, we have a HDTV sitting in the floor hoping that it will not be stolen before the come to mount it to the wall above the fireplace.
I now believe that Parking Services is Crazy!! I am so glad that I no longer support them and pay over $33 to park my car on campus! I am so happy that I bike to work!!! Under no circumstance do I want to drive again, I don’t want to pay them $6 to park in the deck for even one day!!!
Now this is something I can wholly promote!
I can actually say that I’m not too surprised by “Pray Away the Gay.” My family tried to do something like that the first time they found out I was gay. A co-worker of my sister, who is gay, saw me on a website and told her and she told my dad. They made me talk to my pastor and their pastor and I was supposed to “change.” I agreed to have a filter installed on my computer to block out all the “evil” websites, including Facebook and MySpace, among with the other surely gay site. After a while my computer crashed or something and I didn’t reinstall the filter and started browsing some sites again. During the whole time I was supposed to “change” I never once stopped having feelings about guys, I saw a hot guy and I had all kinds of thoughts about him, I did think at the time that it was wrong and I shouldn’t be having these thoughts, but I still did. Finally, after about a very unhappy year, I decided to let myself be gay again. And when I finally came out to my family, they wanted me to talk to my former pastor or go to some kind of counseling because they of course thought it was wrong. My dad asked me if I wanted to know why I had these feelings for guys and I told him I don’t need to know why, it doesn’t matter, I have them and therefore, I’m gay.
So just from my little history, “Pray Away the Gay” isn’t a foreign concept, but I can say with confidence that it surely didn’t work for me. I don’t think that it can work at all, but then again, what do I know. Some will say that being gay is a choice that I’ve made, but I don’t agree one bit. Why would I make this choice? I have always had feelings for guys, ever since I was a child! It’s just how I am, how I was made…
Right now, I don’t exactly know how I feel. I have so many conflicting feelings and emotions going on right now that I can’t sort it all out. I know that I am feeling somewhat lonely but I am not sure how to go about fixing that. I know that at some point in the not to distant future I want to find someone to date and hopefully lead to more. There’s one big problem with that: a lot gay men are focused on sex only and don’t want a relationship. I want a relationship!!! I want to find someone to share my life with, the good and the bad. I want someone to be able to be honest with and him to be honest with me. I want him to be more interested in our relationship than sex. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against sex, but that is surely not what the relationship needs to be based on. I also want to find someone who is not afraid of what others will think. Everyone has their own opinions, why do you need to worry about what they think? As long as you’re fine with it and I am too, then what does it matter? I guess that pretty much shows that I want someone who is out, I don’t want to have a sneak around, or have them lie to people in their lives because of that. What good is it if you have something great but yet cannot tell people you love about it? It’s pointless!
Ok, so I’ve ranted about what I want and don’t want. That I guess kind of helps me… I again want to say thank you to everyone who has been there for me through this tough time in my life. I don’t know what I would have done without you! You mean so much to me!!
