And then...



So after I started rambling on and on about how I didn't want any negativity on my blog, I discovered 2 things. 1. They DO have controls that let me decide whether or not I want to let someone post on my blog. 2. If I play by the rules, I can let Google place ads on my blog and actually make a little money. I can also decide who cannot advertise on my site so I won't be offended when I sign on.

That being said, I just wanted to briefly talk about a couple of things. Today, Charlie and I were driving through Downtown Asheville when suddenly on the sidewalk to our right, we noticed a couple of nice looking young ladies strolling along with no tops on. Now before you act shocked, this is actually completely legal here and is pretty common when the weather is warm and beautiful like it was today. While neither Charlie nor I are huge fans of female breasts, we appreciate their right to bare them as they please. Their argument is that if men can walk around in public with no shirts on, exposing their chests, (THANK YOU JESUS!, then why shouldn't women? I completely agree with them. Apparently this law has been on the books for many years, but given the current political climate, there are rumblings in some halls of government that suddenly, women should be ashamed of their upper bodies as they were in the good ole days when they were busy being pregnant and exposing their bare feet in the kitchen instead, and it was easier to find a place to sit on the bus because the seats were color coded by who and where the people were sitting.

Speaking of change. Was I? Boy howdy, the states that are opening up the doors for marriage equality are making a deafening slam. Hopefully this will give the Supreme Court and nudge and Congress and clue. Although, I don't really think congress can really find a clue even if it is 91% in front of them, unless it comes with $8.2 million dollars. But I think that is better left for another day. Did you hear that? It was the sound of another can of worms being opened.

Your homework class is this: Either drag out that old high school history book or Google it, but I would like for you to review the US Constitution. I think we may have gone past the point of no return on this document, so I have 2 words for you. Constitutional Convention.

My First Time



This: Is my first blog. Fair warning, I am an out, spiritually confused, opinionated, socially liberal, fiscally moderate gay man who sometimes gets fired up by things that I see people have said or done on TV or read online. I make no apologies for that and if I offend you, I make no apologies for that either. I also do not want to argue with you. This is my blog to get the things off of my chest the things that I want to. If you disagree with me, then move on to the next blogger who agrees with your way of thinking. There is more than enough space on the internet for all of us idiots who have nothing better to do than to sit here and type our fingers to the bone. But if you want to argue, you have come to the wrong place. I will delete you or block you, or whatever it is that I can do, whenever I figure out how to do that if you insist on fouling up my blog with negativity. This is my little space in the cyber universe to say what I am thinking. If you like what I say, and want to praise me, then please bring it on! But if you want to be ugly, then go on with your own bad self. I think I have beat that dead horse long enough and for a first blog, I don't want to make it too bloody. I look forward to rambling on to you about marriage equality, right wing idiots, left wing idiots, things that make me laugh and cry. I expect to give you all the gory details of me and my partner (Charlie) of nearly 25 years upcoming wedding at a yet to be determined time. We are planning on heading to Maryland for this so that we can at least be legal there, but more on that later. Hopefully I can make some friends along the way. Until later, I hope that you are enjoying your view as much as I am mine, from the mountains.
