Don't be misled. Here are the real facts about Prop 8.
Proponents of Prop 8 make many misleading assertions in their new television ad.
Here’s what’s fiction and what’s fact:
Fiction vs.
the Facts
Fiction: People can be sued over personal beliefs.
Fact: California’s laws already prohibit discrimination against anyone based on race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. This has nothing to do with marriage.
Fiction: Churches could lose their tax-exemption status.
Fact: Nothing in Prop 8 would force churches to do anything. In fact, the court decision regarding marriage specifically says “no religion will be required to change its religious policies or practices with regard to same-sex couples, and no religious officiant will be required to solemnize a marriage in contravention of his or her religious beliefs.
”
Fiction: Same-sex marriage would be taught in public schools.
Fact: Not one word in Prop 8 mentions education, and no child can be forced, against the will of their parents, to be taught anything about health and family issues at school. California law prohibits it. A Sacramento Superior Court judge has already ruled that this claim by the proponents of Prop 8 is “false and misleading.” In fact, the “case” that is cited in the ad is from Massachusetts…the proponents knew what California law said, so they used another state, again to mislead voters.
Fiction: Four Activist Judges in San Francisco…
Fact: Prop 8 is not about courts and judges, it’s about eliminating a fundamental right. Proponents of Prop 8 use an outdated and stale argument that we’ve already voted on this, that judges should not protect rights and freedoms, and that somehow what happened in the past should be the guide to our future. This campaign is not about what happened nearly nine years ago. This campaign is about whether Californians, right now, in 2008 are willing to eliminate a fundamental right for one group of citizens.
Regardless of how you feel about the issue, we should not eliminate fundamental rights for ANY Californians. Please vote NO on Prop 8.

A girl and a guy were speeding over 100mph on the road...
Girl: Slow down I'm scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, it's too scary.
Guy: Tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now, give me a big hug.
*Girl hugs him*
Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on? It's bugging me.
In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on it but only one survived...
The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead he had her say she loved him & felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant he would die. If there is anyone on here that you love and care for that much copy and repost

im tired! it seems like i havent been home in forever. Class was boring. we watched a movie on Reagan. then heather kidnapped me all day. we had lunch at Vinces, and scheduled next week, when Tiara comes out here, just cuse i like organization. then we stayed at adrianns house for awhile, then we went to Barnes and Nobles and Best buy. it took me like an hour to decide between Azumanga Daioh and Once more with feeling soundtrack.....i got the soundtrack -_-U i know. im a gimp.
now im tired, and i want to work on some of the film papers i have to do. dangit! i forgot to call irene! i guess i have to call in the morning. bah.
my dad should be home soon. -_-
OH!
i had a strange dream this morning. I dreamt that Bush won the election and i moved to canada. i was living with Travis and he had a wife, and kid. his wife was sooo pretty and his kid was CUTE! and Canada was like the alaska wilderness. i was watching travs son, and he fell into an abandon well. i used a rope and pulled him up to safety.
i have weird dreams. Heather thinks i have a strong maternal instinct or something like that since im always dreaming about cute kids. but heathers crazy, so >P~
oh! two bad news! one: Kari's baby BooBoo died. and they shut down Big Thunder Mountain at disneyland. AGAIN! *tear*

Im tired and cranky.
this weekend has been.long.........
i had to deal with my dad, drunk since friday. i dont know if he actually got sober or was just continually drunk since thursday night. but hes so horrible when hes drunk. and of course he picked on me. Blah.
so saturday, My dad dropped us off at the anime convention. it was sooooo great! there were a LOT of people! i saw Lyall and whats his name? i forget but yeah i saw them there. whats his name was dressed up like Arucard. we saw some great anime, we bought some great anime, then my dad picked us up. I thought we were going home, but we ended up at their compadres' house...til after midnight. Their nephew had a party, like 100 people showed up, and they were all drinking and stuff, so my dads friend wanted him to stay and help him watch the party. They were all drinking and mind you they were only 16. which pissed me off that my dad was being so irresponsible. Plus he made me go get food and go on a beer run. blah.
Sunday we went to brunch, which was decent, then home to sleep again. Then for the 4th, we went to Jeremy and Ryan's house. we bought like $100 worth of fireworks. it was fun! they took apart the Picalo Petes and made like huge bomb things that made a HUGE BOOM. it was so awesome! then when everyone left, we sat around in their garage talking about bush and war and stuff. Jeremy's step-dad was in special ops in the 80s so he went to Panama and the first gulf war. He told me that his squad went in and took hundreds of thousands of dollars of drug money in Panama. He said the thing about Noriega was bullshit, that he was just there to get money. which is interesting. and he was saying that the special Ops had Osama in their sights but their commanders wouldnt let them. which is all interesting.
and now everyone is coming over here to come swimming. i got all pissed off because i woke up hearing someone going through my stuff. Joe and ryan were looking through my stuff because they swear i have Hentai. which i dont. but i HATE people going through my stuff. THEN they started making fun of my anime collection. i like the anime i have. and they were making fun of because there werent any with naked girls in it. arg. then i had to make like a dozen waffles. which annoyed me even more.
blah.
i cant wait to visit sari! ^____^

Today was long. my dad made me wake up early to make him waffles. blah. then we went out to Commerce and bought stuff. I got a new pair of shoes, FINALLY. after 4 years. i had holes in the bottom of one pair and the other pair was falling apart. but yeah. we bought my brother a crap load of clothes and stuff. but on the way home i almost shit my pants i swear! there was so much traffic and my dad kept braking too soon...ugh. i get sick thinking about how many times he almost hit the car infront of us. i was so tense! ugh!
Then we came home and saw Farenhit 9-11. my mom liked it, my sis liked it, and my dad was bored. He saw one of his work friends there though, and he told us a few guys on my dad's crew were burned pretty bad today. which is slightly scary, since odds are, it would have been my dad up there.
my mom was telling us some more stories from the "old days". I found out when my dad was young he was stabbed and another time he was shot. that explains why he has no spleen. Its weird hearing about the old days, how my uncles and my dad uses to be in gangs, or how my dad's friends started one of the major gangs over in the projects. it is weird, especially since im so....well me....i mean its just almost shocking. i love listening to the stories though, to learn from them and to know a piece 0f family history. I think its important to know why my favorite cousin was killed, or why its not that safe for us to walk down Opal street. My moms stories are the same too. except where my dads family is mostly out of gangs,*except for my cousin "baby"* my 2 uncles are still in them for the most part. thats why my grandpa's house continually gets shot at. or why my uncle cant stay at a place too long. its weird isnt it??
oh yeah! tiara's coming!!! yay!!!! as im typing this, im sitting here trying to plan things out, i need to sign on AIM to discuss things with adriann.
im gonna wake up at the crack ass of dawn for the anime expo! woot

we emptied our pool. actually, its almost empty. so we spent most of the day sliding in from the shallow side into the deep side, where there was about 2 feet of water. my brother and cousin looked exactly like penguins or walruses. it was great!
but in the end, im glad its just us again. i love everyone coming over, but i like being alone.
but of course, im bored.
i think i'll go watch the musical buffy again. i love it! ^___^

im pissed. seriously pissed. i woke up all happy and refreshed, i got a lot of sleep, and my mom comes in. the lawyer called. apparently the chicks insurance isnt accepting liablility. so now we have to pay almost $3,000 in towing and storage fees. and we have to not only keep the car here, but continue paying payments on it. We dont have three thousand dollars. im pissed. im so pissed. it was their insured that crashed into us. why arent they responisble??????? someone please explain that to me. its on the police report, she accepted responsiblilty. and i bet you her car is already fixed and pretty again.
im really upset. my mom keeps saying 'oh were good people, itll work out in the end'. yeah mom, but if we were good people, or crap like that, i would still have my car, my back wouldnt constantly ache and i wouldnt have a constant headache. fuck that. and if we hadn't of got a lawyer, it would have probably been taken care of already. they would have paid off the car and my dad would have bought a new car for my mom. i dont care if im hurt. im living through it arent i? i dont care about money for myself! i just want another car! i HATE not being able to go about as i wish. i hate it. i hate it. i hate it. fuck fuck fuck. so right now i hate lawyers, i hate insurance companies, and i hate the stupid whore that crashed into us. im fuming right now, hardcore. not even Dogma is cheering me up.
arg.
im gonna go read.

ok. I found my barbies. He threw them into my moms closet. but i found them. im so happy! ^_^
so yeah. ive been so busy lately! i am taking Political Science with Heather and Rachael. Its a really great class! i enjoy it muchly! Well not on thursday, but that was because of stupid people, not the professor. He brought up Gay marraige and all these people who are against it started making really stupid comments. one lady compared Homosexuality to Pediphillia. i was so mad!! i actually spoke up in class! i dotn remember what i said, but it was in response to that comment. there were just stupid people saying Homosexuality was against the bible and blah blah blah. i was so mad i was shaking. i wanted to say more, but i didnt think i could trust myself not to start crying. when i get really upset, i cry which pisses me off, but oh well.
so lets see. my week. I think it was tuesday that i went to Santa Monica. We didnt get home until like 2:30 am. weds night we went out, for no reason really. Thurs we went to the beach and had a bon fire. it was great. and even at 7pm the water was warm!! but there were no waves. Friday we did various errands. i got my books for school. today my dad leaves for his fishing trip. hes gonna be gone til monday. We're going to Rocky tonight and i dunno whats up for tomorrow.
ive been doing a lot of reading too. and Joemoe and i haave been doing a lot of talking. hes the only one around here that can argue with me for a decent time. and i want to apoligize to everyone whose voting for bush. Its your right to vote for whoever you want, and you dont have to explain your reasons. Its just that i get so mad thinking that he might run our country for another 4 years. I cant imagine what our economy will be like. *sigh* but yeah. i just want people to be informed about who they're voting for. so yeah.
Michael Moore's movie comes out next week!! we need to have a mass group go and watch it!
and as soon as i get out of school, im running up to visit sari.

YAWN, i hope heathers happy! im up and clean and ready for class!!!! bah! ^_^
yesterday was fun! minus my lawyer standing me up but hey at least i got to sleep in!! i went to the mall with adriann, heather, and heathers friend rachael and they ate, i drank iced tea. then i came home did nothing for an hour, went on errands with my mom, came home, semi-weeded my yard and watered. I saw the biggest Black Widow ive ever seen, which made me paranoid because it was right by my window and all....but i think i killed it....then, all muddy and sweaty, i go with adriann on a car ride, she got a Jello Biafria cd and i wanted to listen to it! it was awesome. Jello should be president! that would rock.
dude, i just broke my brush. the second one in less than a year. WTF. i broke my brush BRUSHING MY HAIR. arg.
anyways, tiara called adriann while we were driving so all the way home i got to listen to adriann's side of the conversation. and i talked to tiara. we decided i would sell hot dogs on big meaty buns to raise money so she can come out here. Hot dogs = nasty but hey, we all miss tiara!
so yeah, as adrianns driving up to my house, i notice a bunch of cars out there, and im like oh crap, but it was just the loser brigade gathering. they all attack me at once everyone talking at once but i gathered that they were going to the beach so i ran out of adrianns car, ran to get dressed, and ran to the truck. my cousin and jeremy were being bitches, so they didnt go after all, so it was me, my sis, my brother, joemoe and ry ry. we went out to Inn N Out then Santa Monica pier. everything was still closed but we still had fun. we stayed there til 1, then drove out on PCH for an hour or so. it was great!

I got sunburnt today. i spent the afternoon swimming with my little cousins.
im tired. exhausted really, and its made me crabby and anti-social. and i realized that bush just might "win" again. that makes me sad. i dont understand why people are going to vote for him. WHat makes him a good president? forget that, what makes him a qualified president? his 3 DUIs? his arrest for possesion of cocaine? i dont understand it.
my room is clean at least. *sigh*
i really think i have really strong depression. but i refuse to get on medication. i know it helps people. but i dont see it helping my family. i just see zombies. plus my family has history of drug abuse so i stay away from Medications, drugs and alchol. even when SUFFERING FROM A MIGRAINE ALL DAY. Hmp!
but yeah. i think ill go read Interview with a Vampire now. its actually a really good book.
i have to wake up early tomorrow. Heather tricked me into taking summer classes with her. Bah! ^_~
