George W. Jesus

Fuck yes, the SPURS are number one!!

This is definitely a short post tonight. I'm only posting b/c Mary wanted me to before I left. I'm leaving tomorrow (Friday) to fly out to Ft. Lauderdale (sp?), staying the night with my Aunt/Uncle, then shipping out on Saturday on our Caribbean Princess cruise! I'm so excited, but at the same time I have a really bad feeling. I think I'm most nervous about the flight. I'm usually fly pretty well but get an occasional spell of sickness when landing. I haven't flown in a year, so I hope everything goes well. We better not get into any tropical storm shit, b/c that would just fuck up the whole trip.

I'm not exactly sure when we return. Sometime around the 4-5th of July, I think. Spending my birthday on the ship will be kick arse too! I can't wait to get back and tell everyone about the trip. We bought a new card for my dig. camera, so it now holds 300 pics instead of 15. So you can expect a very very long blog w/ a lot of pictures.

If I die in a plane crash: I love you all. If I don't die in a plane crash: I guess I still love you. Even if you are a Republican. Laters for now!

Side Conversation

"I love being liberal"

-Maria Avila

12 reasons why gay people should not be allowed to get married.

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if Gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

10. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars or a longer lifespan.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

Now, I didn't write these. (I wish I had) Hope you found them as hilarious as I did. Bring on the comments, bitches. Laters for now!

Happy Anniversary?

John Bender: Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch. Retarded, big mouth, know-it-all, asshole, jerk. You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful. Shut up bitch. Go fix me a turkey pot pie. No dad, what about you? Fuck you. No dad, what about you? Fuck you. Dad, what about you? Fuck you. Brian Johnson: Is that for real?
John Bender: Wanna come over sometime?

-The Breakfast Club

Happy Birthday Blog...or one year anniversary. Whatever. Actually today isn't the exact date I started the blog. That would be the 11th of June, but I didn't feel like blogging that day like I said I would. Who gives a fuck anyway.

Apologies for my negativity today. I've been kind of up and down this week. I just realized recently that I wasted one year of my life at UTSA. My plan was to stay here a year, apply for transfer to UT and UNT and then everything would be all good. As the year went on, I realized I probably wouldn't get in UT as a non-CAP student But actually seeing it in written word this week that they "weren't offereing me acceptance" really sucked wrinkly ball sack. The same day I didn't get into UT, I got into UNT. I guess it's cool. Althought it is fucked up to get into a school you know nothing about. So now I'm on my way to study film at my second choice school. Whoopee...

My mom and I drove up last Sunday at 7am to apartment hunt in Denton. First impression: Denton is the smallest, shittiest, non-UTish campus I've ever seen. But we were just driving through. After visiting a few shitty-ass apartments, I was ready to turn around and go home. We visited about 6-7 complex's and ended up signing a lease to The Exchange. Kimberly actually lives in The Exchange apartments in College Station, and she likes the management there. The complex is brand new, and has a shitload of shit in it. (impressed w/ my extensive vocabulary?) I have to, of course, do roomate matching due to the fact I don't know ONE FUCKING PERSON at North Texas. But if I do get matched with a psychopath that I want to get away from, I can always just go visit the lap pool, resort pool, hot tub, tanning bed room, pool table, shuffle board, foozeball, gym, media room, etc. This place is fucking ridiculous. I'm very very excited to live at The Exchange.

On Monday my mom and I walked around campus a little bit and it makes me a feel a lot better about going to UNT. So that's that...I signed about 1100 pages of bullshit for the damn apartment, so there's no going back, and that's a good thing. Fuck UTSA...hello UNT.

Has anybody who reads this seen or heard from Alex Joseph Carter? I think he might have died or been kidnapped. Where the fuck are you?!

I think I had a lot more to talk about, but I can't remember anything right now. And Ellen is on. Here are some pictures, bitch.

Delightful Awk-WAR-dness

Clementine: Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.
Joel: I remember that speech really well.
Clementine: I had you pegged, didn't I?
Joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
Clementine: Probably.
Joel: I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.

-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I'm floating! God, why is this album so incredible? I awoke this morning wallowing in my own anticipation to purchase Coldplay's X&Y. And here I am right now completely enthralled with this music. I'm in love! I'm addicted to the way Coldplay makes me feel; how it secretly sends that familiar chill up your spine and to the back of your neck. Filled with trance-like verse, dreamy lyrics, and subtle brilliance, this is definitely made my top 5 favorite albums of all time. How will they top this one? Some of my favorite tracks include:

What If
Fix You
X&Y
Speed of Sound
Square One
Twisted Logic

Switching back to my unwelcomed reality....we finally got to meet our step-grandmother. For those of you who don't know, my Nanny (father's side) passed away last year and my Papa quickly remarried within a couple of months. It was unsettling at first, and the family's reaction was that of unfamiliarity and shock. It's still hard to fathom the thought that my Nanny isn't around anymore. Willodeane (spelling?) was very nice, and it was good to see my Papa content once again. Their homecoming wasn't as awkward as I had imagined and I think we all had a decent three days together. It was much needed closure...well, some closure.

Anyway, I'm currently high on Coldplay so now would be a good time to post pictures from the past week or so. Oh and FYI, my blog's one year birthday is coming this June, 11. Any ideas on how I could make it a special post? Comments are welcomed.

Always willing to pose for the camera, Kimberly?
