meh
i started doing pilates again . . .my solar plexus hurts.
windsor (or winsor . . . who is she anyway?) was annoying me and i got super busy so i stopped (plus i got lazy, but let's not bring that up) for a while. now i have this gaiam dvd that is better . . . still slightly annoying (mostly in the "oh yeah lady? its easy for you! come over here and try to do that move with MY abs!!" way) . . . but waaaaayyy better than some tai bo video or going for a jog (could be yogging . . . the "j" may be silent) and getting all asthma-like (not to mention sweaty).
anyway.
i saw/heard don miller's book reading last night at powells and got his autograph on a book for the husband. his book is a (comedic at times) look at growing up without a father . . . i had a father growing up (there is a whole other story about how involved or uninvolved said father was) so i only slightly resonated with the main topic, but don writes/speaks/thinks in such a way that makes him an amazing voice for the emergent/progressive/postmodern church/new generation of christ followers (man, i like using the "slashy" thing ["i am honored to receive this slashy award because it means you think i am the best actor-slash-model and not the other way around"]). --ahem-- plus, my favorite line (when someone tried to get him on the homosexuality/one man one woman (there's the slashy again!) bandwagon by asking "do you think a committed homosexual couple could raise a child better than a married man and a woman?") of his was "i think a committed homosexual couple could raise a child better than most people in america."
word.
i'm sorry (no, i'm not!) but i totally agree. children need committed, loving parents who are involved and invested equally (not just mom or just dad investing with the other on the sidelines) in their lives. period. if they aren't getting that (from hetero or homosexual parents) they aren't having their needs met (i say this from experience, so don't tell me i don't know what i am talking about).
you can disagree with same gender marriages if you choose to . . . this isn't what i am talking about right now (so let's not get into that debate).
i am simply saying "word" to don and that children need good parents.
reason #453 why i am waiting for a looooong time before i decide i'm ready to pop one out.
huh. i didn't really plan for this post to go this direction. but there you have it.
say it don't spray it 5:48 PM
23 i heard that
