Thank you Pepsi

Last week, the American Family Association launched a boycott of PepsiCo. The AFA boycott is based, in part, on the PepsiCo Foundation's support of PFLAG’s Straight for Equality in the Workplace project.

I got this email today from PFLAG saying to call the Pepsi Company to thank them and tell them that I will only buy Pepsi products from now on because I am a PFLAG member.

I will, but before I do I would just like to rant about something.  Why is it that the AFA hates gay people so much?  I mean, what did we do to them but be gay?  We didn't hurt their chances of having equal rights like they did us.  So why are they boycotting a company for saying hey, we like gay people and we support them in the work place?  All gay people ever wanted was equal rights, to be treated like a human being and not be told that we can't have a piece of paper that says that we are joined together as one.  That we can do our taxes as a couple and not individuals.

I'm just really confused.  Is this not the year 2009?  Have gay people been around throughout time?  Yes they have.  Michelangelo was gay.  I can't think right now of all the gay people throughout history but there is record of gay people all throughout time.  Did you know that gay people were in the concentration camps in WWII?  Yes, where do you think the pink triangle came from?  While the jews wore a star of david to show that they are jewish, the gay people were forced to wear a pink triangle to show they were homosexual.  And did you know that during this time the jews treated the gays the same exact way the germans did?  Oh yes my friend, gay people have been persecuted as long as there has been persecution.

In the 1970's gay people reclaimed the triangle, turned it upside down and used it as a symbol.  So this I tell the AFA.  We're here, we're queer, get used to it cause we're not going away.  Gay people have been around since the dawn of time and we're going to be here until the end of time so get over it.

UFO's

I just watched a History On-Demand show about UFO's in Arizona.  This isn't a new episode, in fact the footage they have of the alleged "UFO's" are from 1995 and 1997.

What I believe is that human beings cannot be so arrogant to think that out of the entire universe, the infinite space, that WE are the only life.  Our planet can't be the only planet that can sustain life.  I mean come on, give me a break.  Even if other planets out there just have animals and no intelligent life, we aren't the only beings in infinite space.

I may be arrogant at certain times of my life but I'm not that arrogant.

I'm sure that there are other intelligent creatures out there who are capable of building a space craft capable of flying through space from galaxy to galaxy, planet to planet.  If they are, they are probably trying to see what's going on.  Although, they can observe from space, they don't have to swoop down and hover above cities that are occupied at 7pm at night and be seen.  They can see our Sattellites and monitor them whether it be cell phone conversations, sattellite tv shows, sattellite radio channels, military radio channels.  They can monitor without being seen.  They may be intelligent but who knows, they might not be that bright lol.

If they didn't want us to know they exist they wouldn't be hovering above a city in Arizona at night with all the lights on.  If they could monitor the people they would know when bedtime is for everyone and come from 1am - 4am.  So since they are hovering above the city at 7pm then wouldn't that mean that they want humans to see them?  They want us to know that they are watching, they want us to be comfortable with the idea before they try to communicate with us.

But then again I could be wrong, it was probably flares.  And this is just another rant and ramblings post lol.

Drew Peterson's Fiance Moves In

Drew Peterson's Fiance Moves In

Remember Drew Peterson who's wife disappeared?  This is the Bolingbrook cop.  Wife number 3 allegedly drowned and wife number 4 is still missing although he still isn't a suspect for that one.  And now he has another one who would be wife number 5.  Isn't she just a little bit nervous dating him?

And speaking of dating... what the f is he dating for?  His wife is still missing.  She might have been kidnapped and wants to come back to him.  Or she might have run away or something.  The point is, there is no body so he is still married to her.  He can't get married to another woman until they know for a fact that she is truly dead.

But whether she is dead or not is totally not the point.  It's too soon to start dating someone else and having her move in.  I mean come on, the body isn't even in the ground and he's already disrespecting his wife by moving in another woman.  If it were me, I'd be looking for her and doing everything in my power to find her even if it means looking for a corpse instead of a living person.  I wouldn't be dating other women and trying to find a replacement.  Does this man have no shame?

According to the link above, if Stacy Peterson doesn't respond in 30 days, his marriage is legally over and he can get married.

Cake Anyone?

I like cake.  I guess you could say I love cake.  I love cake so much that if I died and they did an autopsy on me they would find that I have frosting flowing through my veins.

I was watching this show on Food channel which isn't a channel I normally watch because I find myself drooling after awhile lol. This show was called Ace of Cakes and they really do make some cool looking cakes.  I have to give them props for that.  I went to their website to see how much they charge for a cake.  They say that since all of their cakes are different they can't give you a specific price but they require a minimum of $1000 for all their cakes.

HOLY COW!  $1000?  For a cake?  I like cake but not that much.  Sorry but I can't afford a $50 cake.  The best I can do are the $15 cakes at Albertsons.  If I were ordering cake for a wedding that would be one thing and even then I'd probably be looking at $200 at best.  But for a birthday party, the birthday boy/girl will have to settle for either homemade or grocery store cake lol.

Friendly Spam

Is there such thing as friendly spam?  I don't know, all I know is I much prefer spam fried and on bread with mayo.

I get a lot of emails every day advertising something like porn, penis enlargement, weight loss, and from various companies like Pepsi and Dairy Queen and even news emails from newsmax.com.  I don't care for them, I just immediately delete them, that is if they don't find themselves in my spam folder.

If it wasn't bad enough getting those spam emails, I get tons of other spam from people that I know.  Friends send me spam constantly.  I get either petitions or chain letters and they are all guilting me into sending them to 10 or more people.  The petitions say that I have to sign my name at the end of the email then forward it to 10 people and those 10 people sign it and forward it.  First of all, those petitions don't do any good because they never get to who they are intended to go to and 2nd whoever they are sent to don't take them seriously.

The chain ones say if you don't send it out to 10+ people you will have bad luck.  I don't believe they will give me good or bad luck.  No voodoo priestess enchanted an email to give you good or bad luck OK.  There is no luck with chain letters or chain emails.

The spam I hate, really really hate are religious emails that friends and family send me.  Sometimes that's all they send me and when I email them they don't even respond to my emails at all so I start to wonder why I even have them in my address book at all.  Why don't I just block their emails from coming to me.  I hate religious emails.  It's like they are shoving their god or Jesus down my throat.  I don't send gay emails to everyone shoving homosexuality down their throats so what gives them the right to do that to me?

This one person who I met on the greyhound as I was going to visit my aunt in 2000 or something who I gave my email address to sends me nothing but religious emails and yesterday she spammed me with about 10 emails with all of her YouTube videos.  Yeah, I've seen them and they aren't new, I don't know why she feels the need to share them with me again.  One of them is a video of this guy in his 50's or 60's and he's sleeping with a laptop on his lap and he's sleeping sitting up but hunched over the computer and she's laughing and saying MySpace addict.  I didn't see MySpace up on the screen.  It was just the desktop with icons.  How does that make him a MySpace addict?  It just makes him a laptop addict.  That makes no sense to me so I don't even respond to it.

Frankly, I'm sick of getting emails from anybody because that's the only crap they send me.  I think there are 2 people who send me emails with conversation in them who I correspond with and that's it.  All the rest feel the need to spam me on a daily basis.  I don't mind the jokes or the puppy/kitty/baby pictures, those I love to see and the jokes and comic strips are really funny.  But don't shove god/chain/petitions down my throat unless you are prepared to get a 20 page email about homosexuality.

WTF?

It's not what you think.  WTF stands for Work Time Fun.  I got this game last night because I have been extremely bored.  I can't crochet anymore and all the games I have I've played and even though I'm not finished with them I wanted something new.  I still have that $25 gift card for Game Stop but I don't know when I'll be able to use it so until then I got this.

It was only $9.99 at the PlayStation Store and it has all these mini games inside it like counting chicks for example.  There are 3 types of chicks.  Male, Female and Dead lol.  You push the chicks over with the right arrow button on the left side of the PSP then you decide where it goes.  If it's a female chick you press the X, if it's male you press the O and if it's dead you press the triangle and it goes to heaven.

There is also a game called Pendimonium (I think that's the name) where you work in a pen factory and you have to put the caps on pens.  But some come out upside down so you have to turn it right side up, put the cap on it then go to the next one.

Yeah, it does strain your eyes and it does seem to be strange but oddly addictive.

One of the games is similar to frogger, you have to get this little guy safely to the other side and keep him from getting hit by a car and you gotta eat the mushrooms in the road along the way.  Yeah, you have to be doing mushrooms to play this one lol.

There is a baseball one which I am terrible at and a boxing game where all you do is press the x button many times but I never win that one.

Oh talk about winning, WTF is like a job, you have to "go to work" by doing these mini games and you get a paycheck depending on what tasks you've done.  Since I just got the game I'm not that far into it so I can't explain what you get in this game but one of the things I saw from YouTube is you get this fun little thing that is eyeballs and from what I've seen on YouTube that is really fun especially for parties lol.
