Of course my wife might complain, but what the heck!
I posted my first digg today.
The NJ courts posted it, and for about 5 minutes I didn’t see it anywhere!
So Posted the direct link to the opinion.
I declared “Gay Marriage Legal in NJ”. Not completely true.
“The name to be given to the statutory scheme that provides full rights and benefits to samesex couples, whether marriage or some other term, is a matter left to the democratic process”.
That’s funny. It’s a total political dodge. It’s says, “The NJ legislature can call it whatever it wants:marriage, civil unions, or “butt buddies“. But it has to be the same legally.
People are insane. It’s OKAY if you call it one thing, but NOT if you call it another.
Oh well. It’s still a good move. It’s a step towards sanity.

I’m a political mood today.
It’s expect that tomorrow, Gay Marriage in NJ might become legal. And if that happens, Kean might win the Senatorial race.
Oh well. Two step forwards, one step back.
Personally, I don’t think Kean has as much potential as others like to think. Of course, now it means I have to actually VOTE in November, just so I can vote against him. (Have I EVER voted FOR somebody? - not yet!). I don’t want the personal guilt if the guy gets into the office.
Of course Mendendez doesn’t look any better, but it’s always the lessor of two evils.
I hate politics.

Damn. Obama might run.
Now I didn’t want to make this blog about politics. There are far better blogs for that! I really don’t want to feed the fire.
I watched his 2004 speech at the Democratic convention, turned to my son, and said,
“that man just might end up President of the United States.”
Normally, I like to stay out of politics. It’s not that I have no political opinion, it’s just that I find MOST politicians to be horribly vain people. And writing blogs about your political opinions is where people will IMMEDIATELY pigeonhole everything you do and say forever. Just avoid it.
So here I go: (I will regret this).
I always felt that Bill Clinton and George Bush had a few major character defects in common: They both wanted approval from others. There isn’t anything better than resolving your feelings of self-insecurity than having millions of people vote on you. Of course, for the rest of us, there’s sex and drugs. (Although both men have their own history in the regard).
And it has SUCKED to be a democrat for the last 50 years. There hasn’t been a SINGLE INSPIRATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE since JFK. At least not one that could win the office.
Linden Johnson? Please. Keep your scar covered.
Jimmy Carter? He was the squeeky clean guy the Dems needed to emphasis the GOP failures. (Nixon and the vietnam war). But in the end he was boring.
Bill Clinton? Jeesus. I mean the guy is brilliant, A Rhodes scholar, a dynamic speaker. But I ALWAYS found the guy disingenuous. “I didn’t Inhale?” That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.
What’s Obama say about his drug use: “I inhaled - That was the point.”
So it’s officially time to start tempering my optimism over this guy. I refuse to give up my cynical view of politicians.
Here’s my problem: He keeps opening in his mouth and says intelligent things. And stuff that most politicians avoid: “Evolution is more grounded in my experience than angels.”
Omigod. Omigod. Must keep my breathing to a normal pace. - id he just thumb his nose at the religious right in the country?
Plus:And he’s NOT HILLARY CLINTON! That’s a huge plus in my book. The woman is a dynamo, but let’s face it - she’s one of the most divisive character’s in politics. Having Hillary on the presidential ballot will BRING OUT people just to vote against her. But Obama doesn’t have that problem (at least not yet).
He’s going to actually make and go read his damn book. And I HATE reading books like that. I’m sure it’s just another self promoting rag, and I don’t want it to ruin any positive opinion I already have of the guy.
Could the democracts finally get a dynamic candidate this year! After the snoozefest of Gore and Kerry - we may just finally have a horse race here.

Okay, so here is the situation:
- almost 39 years since birth.
- 175lbs - 34 inch waist. and the last 30lbs is all since I turned 30.
- Various gray hairs.
- moments of sheer terror/insight that this thing I’m walking around inside is GOING TO FAIL.
So, what’s a 21st century man supposed to do?
OPTIONS:
- Ignore it. Ain’t nothing to do about it anyways. Pass me another stiff drink.
- Join a religion. Endorse the idea of an eternal existence, despite all intelligent evidence that it’s bunk.
- Join a gym. Start buying “health” products that guarantee a longer life! Join organize sports. Stand on scales and look at muscles in mirror. Buy a Bo-Flex!
- Write the book, the one in your head that is DESTINED to be required reading for 22nd century college students!
- Engage in as much sex as civil society will allow. Find approval in the eyes of young impressionable women. Trick trophy bride to marry you, before she figures out your really a loser in an Armani Suit.
- Buy convertible, vacation home, RV and/or small plane. Ignore it because you don’t have enough time to use it anyways.
- Make and spend as much money as you can get away with. Try to make the money first, but exploit credit if necessary.
- Start a internet blog. Seek public attention and adoration. Everybody gets their 15GB of fame!
- Repeat the list often, until something makes you stop.
