And now it's time to reach inside your mind and pull out some old school!
Hey, I may have had one of the weirdest weeks last week, but KB managed to pull me out of my little funk by granting me creative control of his Old School Wednesday wayback machine. This is take three of The Old School - take two done by no other than Nasty Bastard, who updates his radio constantly and provides us with cuts that keep us noddin'.
Some of the old school that I had to bring back? Why, The Invisible Man's Band, Kwamé, and Taana Gardner, just to name a few.
You've probably wondered why I've gone on a blogging rampage. Well it's mostly because I've been hanging out in the house all day - I've been told that I shouldn't go anywhere and that I should rest up.
Now, I've got more cabin fever than I think I've had in a while, and it's mostly because I've been coughing and sneezing for the past 4 days. I attribute it to allergies, but I think it has to do with a little depression too.
I had a doctor's appointment last week. This is not any different from the other doctor's appointments I've had in the past 2.5 years. I'm still on the schedule of having to go see the doctor once every two months. The good news? Load still undetectable, the brain is fine (no seizures), gaining weight and muscle each time, and bigger than I've ever been. The bad?
Although I've been languishing a little bit over the doctor and life in general the past two weeks, it took me more than a little while to actually want to spend more time talking about same sex marriages. This was something which I already had an opinion of (I'm for it, in case you couldn't figure it out). In my opinion marriages in general should be legalized -- if you can respect the fact that two people are willing to be a union, then this you should respect the fact that this legalization should expand to members of the same sex.
Now that all that has been said, I asked for opinions as to why same-sex marriages should not be legalized. I got some answers which were understood - even if I don't agree with them, I respect opinions that aren't pedantic, foolish, or downright rude. There are two that immediately come to mind.
There's one quote that I will mention that sums my opinion:
ASB mentions - As far as civil ceremonies, religion has no place in the law and in equality related issues. No religion has the right to make law. Sure, you can vote, so do that. But when you let your religion cloud what governmentally right, that's why this country is so fucked up.
And no, the issues that I mentioned above didn't piss me off or make me upset by any means (there are plenty of other things that I read that can do that many times over, you can best believe). If anything, it caused me to actually check out other people's thoughts and views. Hell, I may disagree with them, but there's always different sides to the world. There's no way I can be mad about that.
Other opinions, of course, are welcome. Within reason of course.
During the midst of all technical things going awry at work, I got a chance
to take a little break and listen to Jamiroquai's
Cosmic Girl. Feeling mighty good, I thought I'd sing to my girl Kia
through an IM session. During the singing session, we got a little input from
Prime. His comments are

Blogging is fun, but mini-blogging is even better. Thus, OrangeMoon, which is accessible on the right side and pops up on the left. Why the shameless plug?
1. It's quicker.
2. It's easier.
3. I can link to more people who do some really classy stuff all the way around.
Some quick examples:
1. American Idol - Finals Preview
2. One of the reasons for OrangeMoon was something like this, from George.
3. inTheBasement and I thought this was interesting...a personal sewage power plant...
4. Pauly? Hilarious - on the ones and twos within 48 hours.
5. ...and the McGruder Award goes to [via DC Thornton]
