30-Day Challenge-- Day-16 Three things you are proud of about your personality

I hate prompts that make me talk about myself. But here goes:

I am very proud of my personality in general. But if I had to choose three to talk about I'd have to go with, Sense of Humor, Honesty, and Good Heart.

First my Sense of Humor:

I consider myself to have a very good Sense of humor. I am sarcastic, witty and clever. I can laugh at myself, and I try not to take life too seriously. My outlook on life in general can be attributed to my sense of humor.

Second is my Honesty:

I have a tendency to be very opinionated, and honest. Sometimes that is a bad thing, I love to communicate my opinion and am rather blunt. But I do believe honesty is the best policy. If people don't like me for being blunt and honest, then they don't belong in my circle of friends. Honesty also ties into loyalty, I am a very loyal person. Once I befriend you, I'll always be there, even if we haven't spoken for ten years.

Lastly, my Good Heart:

I believe I have a Good Heart. I am always ready to help a friend out no matter what is going on in my life. I put my stuff on the back burner (not always a good thing for myself) to help others out.  I get a lot of happiness from doing that. I rather see my friends succeed, and me fail, than I succeed and watch them fail.

So all in all I'm a pretty good guy lol. Wouldn't you say?

30-Day Challenge-- Day-15 (Scenario) your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

Today's prompt is kinda stupid. If my best friend and I had gotten into a fight, and I'm talking drag out knock out knuckle fight to the death kinda fight and then he got in a car accident, I would be there by his side right away.

I am a very stubborn person, but my best friend is like my brother. Brothers fight all the time, but five minutes later everything is back to normal. So this prompt is stupid because, if that's your best friend, then no matter what has happened you will be right by their side after a car accident.

Of course, if it's just a little fender bender and no one is hurt, your intentions for being there might be to poke fun at them, but intention is over rated sometimes lol.

The point is, no matter what, I'd be there for my best friend.

30-Day Challenge-- Day-14 Your views on Gay Marriage

Today's prompt is about my views of Gay Marriage. I am a firm believer in equality, and am of the opinion that gender should not be a determining factor in whether or not two people who are in love should or shouldn't have the opportunity to get married.

I wrote a piece on this issue back when it first passed here in California, and people began protesting. It is a bit raunchy, and foul mouthed, but it depicts my opinion perfectly so here it is:

I have kept quiet about this long enough, and feel the need to throw my two cents into the piggy bank. California has been in an uproar recently due to a Gay Marriage law being passed. Some people are opposing it others embracing it; I for one embrace it, and here’s why. For years and years there have been homosexual people roaming the earth. They have been ridiculed, humiliated, shunned, disowned by family, stepped on, beaten to death, misunderstood, and have been the focal point for societies finger pointing and laughter. In my humble opinion, I believe whole-heartedly that they not only need, but deserve equal rights to wed the person of their choosing. It is not right for them to live with one another, share their lives together but never be given the opportunity to participate in a wedding, or share the benefits that marriage brings. California is on the forefront of left wing liberal attitudes. We are straddling the edge of a new chapter in America. I think it is unfair for people to believe they have a right to keep two people who are in love whether they be both female or male apart. It sickens me to see protesters with signs saying ‘God HATES Homos’ or that Gay people will rot in hell for delivering the devils whatever… the sick feeling in my stomach stems from two major ideas. One, who the fuck are any of these people to speak for God, especially state that God have the lack of compassion to hate anyone. If memory serves correctly aren’t we all here on Earth to suffer in an attempt to gain compassion? I see preachers and head’s of churches out on the street with bibles in hand. And it dawns on me, aren’t some of these the same priests who molest little boys? I shutter to think what God thinks of these adult men who swore the oath of the lord, touching little boys. And wait….. boys are males, and priests are males.. hmmm does that not constitute the extremity of homosexual tendencies? Secondly, I hate the fact that the leader, the chief if you will, of California Arnold “Governator” Schwarzenegger has the audacity to release a phony bullshit statement concerning this law being passed. He has opposed it several times, and hopes it will be shunned in November. This is the head of a liberal state. Someone we are supposed to look up to, and say That is California’s leader. He is just a bullshit actor wearing a suit and playing political leader. He needs to fall in line and look up to mayors like Ron Dellums of Oakland, and Gavin Newsum of San Francisco. These two men, demonstrated that two heterosexual men, could securely support the Gay Community. They embraced the law, with eloquent speeches, and attended a few ceremonies in honor of the shunned community. These mayors are the future of California. Perhaps they have gotten in trouble before, performed some scandals; ultimately California needs the open minded, non-judgmental attitudes these two men bring to Sacramento. Congratulations to all the newly wed couples in California, may you always be treated with the equality and freedom of self-expression that you deserve.


So in conclusion. I hope we as a nation open our eyes to the fact that everyone deserves to be EQUAL.

30-Day Challenge-- Day-13 A date you would love to go on

At the risk of sounding ridiculously cheesy, it is my belief, that a date is made by the company you keep, and not necessarily by what you do. If I'm with the person I like or love, then anything we do will make me happy. But for the sake of the prompt, here are a few date's I'd love:

1. Simple and corny, Drive out of the city where we could actually see stars. Little picnic,
    lay out and talk, and enjoy each other's company.

2. Simple and corny part two. Invite her over to my place, cook her dinner, snuggle up on
    the couch watch a few movies, and fall asleep in one another's arms.

3. I'd love to go on a date to Central Park in New York, and just walk around, and then
    grab dinner at nearby restaurant.

4. Take a nice drive on a summer day out to Monterey or Santa Cruz, the whole way there
    listening to good music, and singing along (horribly I might add) Then have dinner
    overlooking the ocean. Then cap the night off with sitting on a blanket on the beach
    watching the waves crash, and talking.

There are many other little cutesy, corny dates I'd love to go on. But I'm sure these four will serve as enough inspiration for my friends to make fun of me.

30-Day Challenge-- Day-12 Things you want to say to an Ex

Today's prompt is things I want to say to an Ex. Interestingly enough this will be a short blog. Heres what I have to say:

In all of my relationships, I never held back. I always spoke my mind, whether it was good or bad, I communicated my thoughts to my significant other. I believe that it is very important to be able to disagree with your significant other once in a while. I think it's healthy for people to discuss their thoughts, and feelings, and opinions. Because even if it causes a knock down drag out argument, in the end it should resolve itself, because both parties spoke their minds, their feelings.

I don't have anything to say to any of my Ex's because I already told them everything I had to say. They are Ex's for reason right? I don't like to wonder what if. What if I had said this or that... Nope! I let it all out.

I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason. I do not believe in second chances. Therefore I leave it all on the table, and if doing so causes us to break up, then we didn't belong together to begin with.

So to all my Ex's: I hope you are all in a better place than you were when you were with me. I hope you have found what you were looking for. And most of all, I hope you are all Happy.

30-Day Challenge-- Day-11 A hero that has let you down.

Today's prompt is about a hero that has let me down. I thought long and hard about this prompt, because I wanted the words that I wrote to be absolutely perfect. And that's the irony of it all...

All my hero's have failed me. That's right. Every last one of them. They were all human. The difference here is, I never expected them to be perfect. I never held them so high and mighty that I thought they could never make a mistake and fall.  My hero's are all amazing, inspirational, loving, caring, HUMAN BEINGS. I found it ironic that I was searching for the perfect words to describe a "flawed" hero.

Every single person I consider a hero to me, are considered such because of the great impact they've had on me. Just because they make mistakes here and there, doesn't mean they stop being heroic in my eyes.

Once a hero, always a hero.

I cannot in good conscience honor them for their achievements and heroism if I do not also have the courage to be critical of their mistakes.

I love you all, and you all are special to me. I never allowed myself to blindly believe you were invincible. I'll always allow your flaws to inspire me just as much as your achievements do.

30-Day Challenge-- Day-10 Your views on drugs and alcohol

Today's blog is about drugs and alcohol. My opinions on both are rather liberal, here's what I think:

I'll start with alcohol. Alcohol is a vice in our society that causes many tragedies. When abused alcohol can literally kill someone. But I do believe that in moderation alcohol is fine. I love to go to a party or to a festa and have a few beers and a couple shots, and have a good time. My issue with alcohol is what one does after the drinking. The key incident is driving. Driving under the influence is a very scary thing. Not only do people put their own lives on the line they put the lives of every other driver out on the road in jeopardy.
I thank God every night that all the people I love and care about made it home safe. So again I think alcohol in moderation is fine.

Drugs one the other hand is a 50/50 shot with me. I do not include Marijuana in the same category as drugs, because it grows from the ground, and its effects are minuscule compared to other things. I think drugs like Cocaine, Crystal Meth, Crack, Heroin, etc. etc. are far worse, and way more effective in ruining lives. It's a no brainer I think, people know that those drugs are bad and that they shouldn't do them.

I'm going to take it a step further and comment on this country's other drug problem. Oh you haven't heard of the other major killer in this country? Well I'll tell you.

Prescription Drugs, are the number 1 or 2 killer in this country. Doctors, unethically might I add, push certain pills down our throats so they could get paid. People get addicted to pain killers, and other form of prescribed drug, and it takes a major toll on their life. The movie "Sicko" by Michael Moore depicts this incredibly well. Our health system is filled with criminals, who take the power they possess over us to feed us pills we don't need, just to make an extra dollar.

So my conclusion is, Moderation is key when it comes to alcohol. (Which by the way is also a huge killer in our country) and "Drugs are bad MMMKAYYY"
