I like to talk.

I really have no idea what I'm going to talk about. I've been thinking like crazy since my last post, and I keep telling myself that I'll sit down and write about it, but when I'm finally sitting in front of a computer, I've got nothing. Side note- I need to stop spilling things on my keyboard, so that my quotation marks and the letter "u" aren't so difficult to press.

Anyway, I am now sitting here, determined to milk something out of myself. First, a topic that I'm sure will offend some. I am very sorry that it will, honestly, but at the same time, life is too short to not act on your convictions, and it's definitely too short to be lying to others constantly about what you believe so that they will accept you (they'll accept you anyway). So, I'm going to go there: homosexuality.

Now then. The issue CONCERNING homosexuality that I'm going to address today is whether or not being gay is something that you are born with. My argument is a simple one...and not one that I can see being refuted with solid evidence (there is so little on this subject, I wish there were more).

I firmly believe that being gay is not a choice. I believe that it is not just something that you acquire. Why do I believe this? Because that is what people who are gay tell me. That seems like a pretty simple statement, but this is where some people get a little mixed up. Who, exactly, are the people that are telling us that homosexuality is a choice that one makes? People who are not gay. Well, if you don't have a first hand account, how can you tell us for sure that it is a choice? Because my religious beliefs or personal convictions tell me that homosexuality is not something that you just "are". (This is not my own opinion...for the slowest of you, I am stating the opposing argument). (This is me talking again) I have never, ever, seen an argument that went further than that. So let me summarize. You are telling me that millions of people world wide, not only in this "hippie" generation but in every generation before us since the beginning of the homo sapien, are lying? All of them? (Granted, you may get a few gay or lesbian people who have made the CHOICE to become gay or lesbian because of past issues with the opposite sex, but these people are all retarded and should not be paid any attention to)

They are all lying and plotting against us in their deceitful, gay little hearts, just to confuse the world and throw it into a state of sin? WHYYY? Why would they do that? And why in the WORLD should I listen to you when you tell me that being gay is a choice, when you are not gay? Why should I believe that people who actually ARE gay, who would KNOW first hand, unlike YOU, are lying to me? Every last one?

For an example, I have never had chemotherapy, thank goodness. But I do know and have read account of people who have had chemotherapy. They all say that it is a painful and traumatic experience, that leaves you incredibly nauseous. And of course, I believe them. Why? Because they would know, and I wouldn't. It's not too difficult of a concept. But if you are not buying anything that I'm saying, and your counter argument has anything to do with a personal religion, please don't bring it up here. It is a pretty futile attempt, and we will just have to respectfully agree to disagree on that bit.

Whew. Anyway. All I'm saying is that for most people, being gay could not possibly be a genetic thing because you just could never be gay. You can't comprehend what it would feel like to be attracted to your own sex. And usually, unfortunately, it ends there in your mind. I'm challenging you to trust in the word of millions of your fellow humans. Don't hate. We're moving past racism, past sexism, we're seeing the error of our ways when it comes to prejudice. So let's keep moving forward.

On an entirely different note...I still cannot decide what I want to do for a living. Forensic anthropology is so amazing. It is so easy for me. I am a visual learner, so having a skeleton that I can look at, examine and label is right up my alley. Most of the field is based on visual recognition. On the other hand, I know my future is some how bound up with dogs. I love my dog, and I refuse to leave him at home whenever I want to do anything besides taking him to the dog park. I want to have him with me at work. He is part of my family, I love him, and I think it's unfair to keep him cooped up in an apartment while I'm out living my life. So in that way, a doggy day care would be perfect. He could come with me to work, play with other dogs, and I would be caring for animals that I love.

I would also really, really be interested in owning a corporation (starting my own, of course). When I look at companies like Nestle and Time Warner, I see big empires that want to milk money out of every field of interest that they possibly can. I'd like to own a big corporation simply because I am interested in so many things, and I feel like I could honestly better so many different types of businesses. Side note- Adam's cat is trying to eat a glass cup right now. He is literally chewing on it. ANYWAY, a few industries that I'd like to get involved with would be the weapons industry (comfortable and light weight weapons and ammunition for our armies, who have so many heavy things to carry)...I'd like to pursue interior design, game design, I'd like to be an author, I'd like to get into the news business (because I am sick an tired of stations claiming to be fair and unbiased...cough CNN cough FOX cough), I'd like to design vehicles based on what people actually need in their cars today. I'd like to get involved in the pet industry, because there are too few foods for my dog that are on the cheap end while also following several healthy guidelines. I'd love to design furniture and clothing. I would like to dabble in landscaping. Ahh...the insanity that is the creative mind.

Anway, I have to go to PetsMart to buy some expensive dog food, so that my dog actually gets the nutrition he needs instead of four cups of brewer's rice and corn meal a day.
