First I’d like to wish all my blog and story readers a very warm and happy holidays!
Lately I’ve been feeling down. It’s the time of year when I lament that I’m not going to get what I want for Xmas. The gift being the ending of my single status. According to NowPublic and Snopes, suicide rates do not increase significantly during the holiday season. That’s really great news.
I guess I have the feeling because while I have family to celebrate the holiday, I don’t feel complete. Add to the fact that a friend of mine just got engaged, it makes me feel unwanted.

Alright, I don’t like Obama. I never did. Now he just continues to break promise, after promise. But this isn’t a blog post to preach. It’s just a collection of articles I wanted to share. Right now even Dick Cheney has a better record than Obama.

In the TV show Babylon 5, the alien race referred to as the Vorlons had a saying. Understanding is like a three edged sword. Your side, their side, and the truth!
Recently I had a trust issue with someone close to me. I encouraged him to read a story I had been reading. Shouldn’t be a big deal, right? The problem came up that in his own excitement, he managed to trample on the trust I had for him. He decided to gloat about his newfound relationship with the author of the story. Read more...

So in the U.S. state of Vermont, the state senate has passed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. It was quite a large number in favour. Now it must still pass the House, and there’s no idea if they’ll have enough votes to overturn a veto from the Governor.
It’s not so bad, at least they’re trying, right? It’s the thought that counts… right?
