Mumbo Jumbo

Hello everyone! If you are reading this tonight you are having about as exciting of Saturday night as me. :) I actually think being at home writing a blog on a Saturday night isn't too shabby.. This also means I am seriously getting old.. I guess time is on a 2000 plus winning streak so why fight it.. I mean getting old and writing blogs on a Saturday night beats the alternative of not getting older.. Anywho, I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I just watched my older brother graduate medical school which will probably be my first and last medical school graduation. Congrats to everyone who made it through 4 years of hell/medical school. I am lucky enough this weekend to have a 3 day weekend. Curt and I are going to the zoo and Cardinals game on Sunday with my doctor brother, his wife and their daughter.. I'm very excited! I can't wait to see the penguins on Monday.. The last time Curt and I went to the zoo we saw two penguins making a little baby penguin.. It was a giggle moment to say the least.. :) Anywho, I will warn you the rest of the blog will be very random so read at your own risk..

Treat others as you would want to be treated.. I think this is a golden rule that most people try to live their life around.. It seems to be a pretty straightforward rule and honestly shouldn't be that complicated..I am not a perfect duck.. I find myself violating this standard rule everyday. I say grouchy things to people.. Usually these grouchy statements are made from lack of sleep but they are grouchy nonetheless. I have said grouchy things in the past 20 minutes while watching the Cardinal game.. I may have not so nicely asked Adam Wainwright why he was having such a hard time finding the strike zone.. You may want to insert a couple of even grouchier words.. I struggle with not being able to keep my bothers from work at work where they belong.. If I have a hard day at work, I will sometimes jump down Curt's throat just because he is here. I don't take two seconds to ask myself what would I do if he did this to me? You bet it would not be a very pretty scene.. Luckily, Curt is NOT tightly wound at all.. I am pretty sure that I am tightly wound enough for both of us.. This is honestly one of the most important aspects of our relationship.. If he was like me then I am pretty sure it would be like a volcano hitting a tornado.. I totally ripped that line from Eminem but it is true. I am currently struggling with a person who gets under my skin every time I see this person.. I can't seem to find a way to overlook things in which I should be able to do.. The poster below describes the situation.. Warning.. I don't know how to edit the bad words out so beware.. Sorry Jesus.


This pretty much sums up my situation.. The person has done a few things to hurt my feeling and now I pick at everything the person does.. I would have to say this is not treating someone as I would like to be treated.. I need to do a better job at being a nicer duck and not being a judgemental crazy person..

I lead into this to a pitch for equality.. I am usually conservative and don't get into too much politics because I honestly have views all over the place. I have some Republican views which I am not willing to change and I have some Democratic views in which I am not willing to change either. I promise I won't get into many of those tonight but there is one I truly want to state my opinion on so I can feel a little better.. Remember, this blog was started for therapy so here it goes. I am very happy to live in a country who finally had a president who has finally endorsed gay marriage. Am I a huge Obama supporter?-No.. Am I a really a Democrat? No.. Am I gay? Not that I know of but if the right woman comes around then oh baby, oh baby ;).. jk.. maybe.. ;).. Do I know many gay people? No.. I think I may know one.. So then why am I a supporter of gay marriage if it doesn't concern me at all? Because I believe everyone should be treated as you would want to be treated regardless of their sexual orientation.. No one chooses to be gay.. Why would someone? People are terrible to gay people and our own government won't even give them equal rights.. Did I choose to be straight? No... Last time I checked we should have a complete separation of church and state.. If we are going to bring in what the bible says then maybe we should bring the Koran into the discussion also.. I haven't heard a non-religious argument on why we shouldn't allow everyone equal rights.. If your church doesn't want to marry people who are of the same sex then that is their choice but the government should not have a say in the matter. Also, what are you going to say if your child or grandchild states they are gay? I saw a sign that states straight people keep having gay children.. Just think about it..

I promise I won't have anymore political blog posts anytime soon.. I just am very passionate about allowing every tax payer, every person to have the rights they deserve in this great country. Maybe next week I can make a blog about how I hate the stupid water saver item in shows because of the those darn democrats.. :) I will say I have been trying very, very hard not to think or say things I wouldn't want to be said to me against the Cardinals as they are losing 5-0.....

Thanks for reading my random/venting blog tonight.. Leave a comment if you have any request for a blog topic in the near future.. If you are a Cardinal player and see this, please try and win so I don't stroke out trying to keep my mouth shut about your performance..
