Change Is Inevitable

Note to self: I miss you terribly.

This is what we call a tragedy.

Come back to me, back to me, to me.

Yeah, you know the rest of the song. FFTL was the shit. Until fucking scene/emo wannabe fucking poser kids ruined their image by plastering them excessively on their page. Stupid.

Anyway, Holloween's tomorrow. I'm hella juiced. I'ma be a kitty cat. :3 I'm not %100 happy with it though. I originally wanted the school girl outfit but... they ran out of the good ones. Haha. I still wish I could change it, but I can't refund it anymore. Oh well.

I'm hanging out with themz peoplez tomorrow. Probably trick-or-treating/chillin'/orgy, then going to that awesome bar for yummy alcohol.

I'm kidding about the orgy. Ew. Sicko's.

So lately, Proposition 8 has been the air we breathe. Today we even had a debate about it during 4th block because two the people in Band are campaigning Yes On 8 and are passing out these little booklets explaining why we should vote Yes On 8. Yeah, I read that booklet because I don't just stand ground without knowing what I'm standing up for and without being close-minded about the opponents side. I'm fair. So me and Jenice read it together both with an open and unbiased mind... and let me tell you, that booklet was a bunch of BULLSHIT. It was contradictions and fallacies galore!

Jenice and I just wanted to rip it. Don't get me wrong, they have some good and reasonable points -- mostly they emphasize that if Proposition 8 isn't passed, they're going to have to teach children gay marriage in school because the State Law requires it. But then, did you know that if the State Law isn't passed, parents have the right to choose whether their child can be in that class that teaches gay marriage or not -- but the rest are just really a bunch of weak arguments that are based on religion. The whole "man + man = you are going to hell" thing. Of course, this just all boils down to the whole Church vs. State controversy.

There was a part that said they weren't taking away rights from gay couples, but then two pages later they say that gay couples don't have the right to change the definition of marriage. There's so much, much more that just made me so irritated because it all seemed illogical that when they started verbally debating, I stayed away because I felt that if I got into it, I'd just go off and wouldn't stop.

Point is, it is my belief that people and society is changing everyday. As time passes by, we become more open, accepting, and tolerable towards things that 50 years ago would be considered such sacriligous acts. We're slowly progressing as humans. 50 years ago, African Americans were discriminated harshly upon. Hell, 10 years ago, minorities like Hispanics, Asians, Indians, etc. were still discriminated upon. And slowly we progressed. We became more open, more tolerable, more accepting towards them. I mean, now almost everything has a Spanish translation and we could possibly (and most probably) have an African American as our president for the first time in history.

These people trying to "preserve the act of marriage, which should only be between a man and a woman" are being... stubborn and narrow-minded. Change is inevitable and we should all learn to adapt to it.
