It's funny the little things I read, or see, or experience that get the creative 'juices' flowing......
I never go looking for blog material. I always see something that catches my eye and enviably begin to wonder, ask questions and create alternative lines of thoughts in my head. It's a messy place up there!
So, with ALL things considered - here are but a few.....
1. Military SOS - Military Significant others and Spouses. Significant others? So does that mean the girlfriend/boyfriend? Or have we finally evolved into respectful, reasonable human beings that accept the gay partners of openly gay military members??? I certainly hope so. But, I fear that I am a little too progressive in my thought process and should assume that the significant part refers to the hetro side of the house. Sadly, this doesn't help my current view of the military and the culture I am a part of. To say I am a disillusioned and bitter spouse of a military member is appropriate.
2. My second thought. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRIS (from the Key Spouse and various other military members of my husband's FORMER sq.) *facepalm* As you read this you might not understand the 'reason' they are called *members of my husband's FORMER SQ* I will not go into the reason - but I will say that I am DONE with base.....with this sq......with the people who fake kindness and understanding but do not really care or understand.
GO AWAY. I am not trying to be rude or ungrateful. I am trying to keep myself out of a situation that might cause me to say something I cannot take back and that will ultimately reflect poorly on my husband. I refuse to be that spouse and as such I know what I need to do to remain out of trouble and not labeled as a 'crazy dependapotamus'.
3. Negative vibes - you're harshing my calm dude.
How can anyone spend their lives being so damn negative. I mean, honestly, that has to be the most energy-sapping, soul-crushing, bitter approach to life. We can ALL be negative from time to time - but when every other damn word that comes out of your pie-hole is NEGATIVE.....NO ONE wants to be around you!! This can apply to at least three people in my life right now.....I'm seriously going to start slipping alcohol into their sippy cups every time I have to converse with them.
4. Why do people spend so much time focusing on banning things that have NOTHING at all to do with them? Things that will never affect their life. Things that have no bearing on their daily lives and the lives of their children?
LISTEN UP HOMOPHOBIC CRAZY PEOPLE!
As far as I'm aware homosexuality is not the cause of environmental pollution, unemployment, poor healthcare initiatives, lack of educational funding, global warming, wars, poverty.....etc. THESE are the things that can and will affect your life and the future of your children!!
Wake up!! The fact that my some of my closest friends have found happiness, contentment and unconditional love in the arms of someone that is the same sex as them DOES NOT affect my life in anyway - I take that back - it does affect me! I am HAPPIER than a fat girl with cake, that my friends are happy. TRULY happy. And FUCK you if you cannot smile with them.
SO they are gay? AND?????
Are you honestly sitting here and telling me that if they get married the world will divide by 0 and everything ends. That by allowing these couples to live peacefully together and pay taxes and have jobs and pay into healthcare benefits that the hand of YOUR God will smote us ALL? NO. I think not.
If ANYONE should be voted off the island it should be YOU. The only thing that is going to affect your children's future and yours is the hate you spew which has a much longer lasting affect on our future generations than a gay people getting married and showing ALL OF US the true meaning of love and happiness.
OK. There. I said it.
Life is a garden people. DIG IT. Or bury the dumbasses in the back. Either way I'm good with it. :)
Carry On!
