This happened almost an entire month ago! Why isn’t America hearing about it?
Thank you Ellen for bringing attention to this important issue. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of this little boy. I just keep thinking…I find it admirable for a young boy to just be himself in a society that looks down on differences in sexual identity and orientation. When atrocities like this happen, it hurts on so many levels, for the loss of someone so young and also for that other little boy out there that might be scared to be himself tomorrow. Please give some thought to how you as parents portray your views to your children. Are you passing on intolerance that should long be dead? Please, teach acceptance!
So I’ve been working on this photo collage for a couple of weeks now. It’s pretty cool, it’s 3-d, and colorful, and fun…but dumbass me was putting the finishing touches on it the other day… I put a coat of clear polycrylic over it out in the garage…and instead of drying, it froze. Now it looks kinda strange. Like cloudy/crusty, but I refuse to give up on it. I will salvage it somehow.
I guess I haven’t had a whole lot going on as of late. I downloaded Visual Boy Advance, a Nintendo Game Boy Advance emulator, and have been playing Final Fantasy I&II: Dawn of Souls on it. I like it, because there is a ’speed’ button you can press that literally speeds up the emulation, so you can just fly though some of the more monotonous random encounters. I also learned how to use some of the built in cheat search functions to do some tweaking to my stats and inventory. Yeah some people think that takes the fun out of it…but do you know how many times I’ve played this game? Too many to count…so I’ll do whatever I want with this round. So don’t give me shit…
So what else? Oh I’m planning a vacation with our friends Gian and Anthony. We are planning to go to San Francisco in June. None of us have ever been there. So if you’ve been there, and know some good places, please comment. I’m pretty excited about it. We haven’t been on vacation since we went to Las Vegas in November 2006.
