Just signing in from Cali, the new Utah. What a surprise - the gays are already old news when I checked headlines, but rapist Mike Tyson and the God-almighty Hispanic that made “history” as the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court are still rocking. Funny how every time gays get knocked down, those blacks and Hispanics take yet another step ahead.

Why am I not the least bit surprised the rapist is living in Arizona of all places? Gee, maybe it’s cuz it’s a state that highly favors its blacks and lets them get away with all kinds of shit!

So its 4-year-old daughter, Exodus – what the hell kind of name is that? – strangled herself on a cord hanging from a treadmill.

I guess karma’s a bitch and that the sins of the forefathers really do fall upon their offspring if they’ve got any! So now he’s going to get a little taste of the pain and suffering he’s inflicted upon the women he’s raped. Then again, he “only” raped one woman, some people are quick to point out. Oh, so if it’s only one, he’s still cool, right? But being smarter than most idiots in this world, I know that there’s no such thing as a one-time rapist.

Anyway, whether he actually gives a shit or not that his own kid’s dead, may Exodus be looking down on him from the heavens above if only to keep him from raping again.

Prop H8 went as I figured it would where they upheld the ban, but left the existing marriages intact. Gee, how kind of them to give them that much. I’m amazed gays are even allowed the courtesy of having their attackers, should they be attacked for simply being gay, and charged with a hate crime. Think the Mormons and Catholics will seek to snatch that away from them next? Or will they just pick on us Jews instead?

It goes without saying that I’m pissed, sickened and disgusted by the ongoing hatred, discrimination and separation of gays in a state that’s supposed to be liberal. How can the supporters of Prop H8 be called “Justices?” And how can this country be called the land of the free? When are people going to simply do what’s best for themselves, mind their own damn business, and leave everyone else alone? There are tons of people I hate, but I don’t go trying to run their lives. Having the government or the state say you can’t murder someone is one thing, but who the hell are they to say what people can and can’t do with their own personal lives? These are private, personal matters that should be between the couple alone and not anyone else. No adult should have to fight for “permission” to marry the one they love who is also an adult.

They were talking about how Mormons themselves were once victims of discrimination and so they should understand what it’s like and be more sensitive, yet this is probably part of why they’re causing so many problems right now. People tend to act out what they experience. That’s why most abusive parents were abused themselves as children.

And how can the warped Mormons and Catholics say marriage should only be for those who can create life on their own? So we should make a couple who may learn that one of them is infertile get divorced? Should Tom and I be made to divorce cuz we chose to keep our freedom? I’m sure even you guys gotta agree they’re ridiculous. And why are churches exempt from paying taxes? It seems to me that if they can raise 80 million dollars to keep their precious “word” safe – you know, the word marriage? – they can well afford to pay taxes right along with everyone else. Meanwhile, would they ever care enough to buy my husband’s Mac and TV back? Or me some new teeth? Well, of course not! Instead, California’s going to be broke in a month or so, the free clinics are going to go away, and so when my teeth get bad again since they can’t hold out forever, I’ll be on my own to pull them myself and then I’ll only be able to have liquids.

I shoulda been a welfare bum. They get more money than we’re getting, plus benefits, too.

Tom feels certain that the legislature is now going to step in and help California with its financial crisis, and the gays too, but I’ll believe it when I see it. He also says that just like women and blacks eventually got their rights, gays will, too. I’m only just now coming to understand how the crazy world of politics works, mostly cuz of Tom, and I was shocked when he told me gays have had civil unions here for some time now, allowing them the same benefits of marriage. “Then what’s all the fuss about?” I asked him. “A word is just a word, so if sticks and stones are supposed to break our bones while words can never hurt us, what’s the big deal?” He then explained that it’s along the same lines as when blacks and whites were segregated in schools but were given the same education, thus creating the saying “separate, but equal.” That is until they argued that you can’t be equal if you’re separate.

This much does make sense when you think about it. So as they’ve been saying, gay is the new black.

I still say it’s better to never give someone any rights in the first place than to be jerking them around like a yo-yo like they’re doing here. It’s just terrible. Why give them rights, and then put them on the ballot so people can take them away? Anyway, I’d say our Caligays still have another 10-20 years to go before they get their word marriage here in what’s become a frighteningly conservative state. Notice it’s always the conserves that try to push the libs to be conservative? But since when have the libs ever tried to make the conserves be like them?

Next thing you know it’s going to be on the ballot to deny rights to short people or some crazy shit like that! Our so-called justices have helped pave the way for such insanity to occur.

For now, I’m going to do the only thing I can do. Put evil spells on the justices to help ensure a reign of horrible bad luck!

I’m also going to be thankful that Tom and I weren’t one of the ones to be denied to decide for ourselves if we could get married, though I could’ve been one of them. Just to give you a little – shall we say education – not all people who are bi are split 50/50. Some bi ladies mostly prefer guys, but I was the opposite. So the point is that had I not met Tom, chances are that I’d have met and settled down with some lady, and if I weren’t still in the East I could be facing the same discrimination. Well, thank God I’m not! At least they can’t go into their homes and literally yank them apart. God, I hope this country never comes to that.

Tom got a message from the guy at the old Carmichael box saying that while he was away, the person working at the store there accidentally signed for something for us from FedEx and it’ll cost $5 to go get it if we want it. We agreed not to bother unless it’s a letter. He’s going to call later on today to find out. We don’t see what contest it could possibly be since it’s been over a year, but some contests do run for about a year and it is possible to get prizes from contests you entered that long ago.

Then Tom got to thinking that it was probably just an update on his AMEX pension. Not that they’re going to start his payments earlier, but it’s probably just to say the company handling the pensions has changed or something. It’s from the Hancock Corporation, and when I went to search their site, I did get a lot of hits on them.

Earlier I caught not one, not two, but THREE mice in a glue board! Now we’ll see if the activity under the floorboards lessens. Nope. I just heard something.

I’d like to polish my nails now but am not sure which color. Hey, wait a minute! That wouldn’t be fair. I should think of all the people I’d be hurting by taking it upon myself to decide whether or not my nails should be polished. Shame on me! Hey, Mormons! Hey, Catholics! Hey, Christians! Do I have your permission to polish my own nails? I promise I won’t make them too flashy.
