Vegas!

I am going to leave that up to Salti and Auri to cover, just know that I had the time of my life!

I am going to post 1 pic, because it is my fav. It is all of us girls in Vegas.

Equality Rally!

So Dale, Erica and I put on our good walking shoes to participate in the national rally for Equality. Along with SLC rallies were held all over the country. The news reports it as protest on prop 8. That was so last week! We have progressed to equality for all. Yes, we protested the LDS church on Friday the 7th of November. The one held on Saturday was to let the world know we are pissed and we r no longer in the closet and we are ready to fight for equal rights. I feel it is like the 60's again with African-Americans fighting for there rights! It is now the Gay communities turn. We will no longer be repressed! We are all coming together for equality. So the 2 of listen to all the speakers. They were amazing! Every thing they said is how I felt. It so awesome to again see the huge turn out. I was so moved, I was so proud to be a part of this movement and not lay down and take it. I was fighting tears of joy all day, until Erica was crying as we started 2 march. It was an amazing feeling being a part of this nations path to equality! The speakers talked about peaceful rallies and expressions of what we are fighting for, I agree the people that we will not change anything if it is violent.

I think I have said before, any religion in entitled to have there beliefs, they do not need to conduct gay marriages or acknowledge them. Marriage is a civil right not a religious right!

We quit smoking! We did it!

We did it, we quit smoking! It has only been since sunday, but I am done this time! I am tired of the stench, the walking behind your friends because they don't smoke. I am over it! Good bye to smoking controlling my life! The health benefits are also a reason. I have to say since I quit, I have more confidence and I am more interactive with my friends. Part of that is because I no longer am concerned about being stinky!

I love LB!

I am sitting here at LB(Layne Bryant) waiting for my fabulous friend Erica to try on some fabulous new clothes! Our focus was Vegas outfits!! I am so excited! Erica is going to be the Diva she always is in her fab new clothes from LB that I helped pick out!!

Giutar Hero III Mobile

I think GH is an addiction!!
I own all the GH games 4 the PS2 except world tour! I was playing on my BlackBerry the other night checking out the cool downloads! Out of no where comes Guitar Hero III for my BlackBerry!!! I was ecstatic and jumping 4 joy(not really,but I felt like it). So I paid my $6.99 and it started to download! Woo hoo, know I can rock out anytime anywhere! It finished downloading and that was it, didn't say it was ready to play and u will find it in your applications,nope nothing! So I wasn't sure if I had got it, by this time the excitement is killing me! I had visions of our flight to Vegas next month and I rock out the whole time!(Lance and Deb I will let u play it). So I waiting 4 something 2 happen, I guess I am used to a regular computer that tells u it is installed and ready! So I back out to the applications list, OMG!! It was a moment! Ask Erica about my "Moments". The it was an fabulous icon that says "GH III"! I was almost in tears I was so excited! I clicked on the icon and there it was GH III on my BlackBerry! So I attempt to play it. There is no guitar 2 play, it is some what challenging. U only have 3 notes 2 hit and u use the Cn B and N keys. It has 15 songs and u can download more if u want to pay for them. So I started on easy. OMG! I only got thru 6% of the song! It is challenging! I can't wait to take some time and get thru at least 1 song!! So that is my GH obsession! I think it might be a little out of control! I will keep u posted as I kick some GH ass anywhere I am.
Rock On!

Time 4 change

Now is the time for America to change! I think Obama is the right man 4 the job! I am excited and look forward to working with our new president!
"Yes we can!"

Prop 8

I know I don't live in Cali, but it does effect me, emotionally and it could have an impact in how gay marriage is handled in america. I don't care what your beliefs are, I think most all of us don't like/want to discriminate against anyone.
Prop is just that discrimination! I don't care what someone is taught in there church. That is there beliefs and they have a right to them. But is it fare to force your beliefs and how u things are suppose 2 be?
I shouldn't have to believe whatever u do, we can still in this world in peace! I am so angry and frustrated about Prop 8!
Maybe I am stupid or maybe I live in my bubble! I don't know which, I just know that god is LOVE and that is what he teaches! We should all love each other no matter our beliefs!

Snowy Days and Train Days Suck!

Let me just tell you that when it is snowing it sucks to take the train! The snow flying in your face and it is cold! However the positive thing is I don't have to fight the people that don't know how to drive in the snow! Being cold and standing in the snow for few minutes may not be so bad after! I have to confess, I have driving issues! I am very nervous and on edge when I drive or in anyones car for that matter. So me driving to work may not be a bad thing! All you who drive will thank me for that!

Annoying People

I don't want to sound rude but my train ride was a bit annoying! There was 2 guys sitting across from me speaking very loud!! I turned up my music but they seemed to be talking louder! Some days the train is an adventure!! People need 2 B more considerate to others!

Obama and McCain face off!

Today is the day we will get a new president! I encourage everyone to go vote no matter who u vote 4! I know the polls have leaned to Obama. I hope it is his victory. This country needs a change. We have had a leader that has not done much 4 this country, other then lead us 2 war and many other things. This country needs a change. I think Obama is the right man 4 the job! I guess we will see what happens this evening! On a side note the electoral voting system is a joke!

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down!

Today it is raining buckets out there! I love the rain in Seattle,but for some reason I hate it here in the great state of Utah! I have done nothing today, nothing but lay around and play on the Internet and with my phone! I guess that is good, it is Sunday! I am not even planning to anything except meet Erica foe coffee! Today is a coffee day! Yum!

BlackBerry's Rock!

This is pretty cool! I'm on the train on my way 2 work and here I am blogging! This BlackBerry is so fucking awesome! I am so glad I got it, not 2 mention it is cute!

I did my civic duty!

I voted today! I did the early voting and when we got there was a small line, as we was leaving it was packed! But we voted! So u all need to go and vote!

Newest member of the Crack Berry Gang!

I did it, I finally did it! I got a Pink Black Berry! I am the newest member of the Crack Berry gang! Auri, Erica and I all have the same pink BB! Hoe funny is that! I am a freak and followed behind Erica, she had it first! I have only had it since yesterday, so I am still learning to use it. So far I love it! It is fun to text and play on the web! If u r looking for a cool phone that has Internet and text capabilities I would recommend it! The access to your email accounts is fabulous!!!
Hope to see more members of our gang soon!
The pink is really cute!

Tag - You're It

Salt-o-rama, I need some help with this one! I have no idea how to link someone! Let me know when is a good time to come over and hang out and work on our blogs?

Guitar Hero Rocks!!!!

GH rocks!!!

I have to say I am addicted to the GH! It is very entertaining and fun! It is a great way to pass that time away! It also good for learning hand, eye coordination.(I have to justify it some how!)

I own all the released GH on the PS2. It is out of control!

So Last winter I spent a lot of time on GH. I was very good, I could get thru any song on Medium with out missing a note. I played a lot!

It is winter and I will start playing it more again! Woo Hoo!

Rock on my fellow GH players!

Just call me Super Worker!

OMG!!! So let me tell you about my job.

I am a Credentialing Specialist, not to sure what it means, other then I have to send letters and get verifications on provider that want to be on the Insurance panel. Basically it is a site down job and I get to play with lots of papers and folders! Sounds exciting? It isn't really, but I like it so much better then my last job! It is great because I can site my desk with my headphones on and do my work. I love the fact that I can listen to my Zune all day long and no really ever bothers me,except The Girl does call and bother me or sends email. So u ask who "The Girl" is, I am not using names because I want to keep her name out of it.

So back to my job, I received an email from a high up over the weekend. In it they want to know where we are with the dentist and we need to have EVERYTHING done by Dec. 5th or the end of the year. Ok, fine, I know the deadline. However I am not sure when they created my job they realized how much I am responsible to do. So this goal seems some one impossible for 1 person since we have over 1000 dental applications to process. I do everything for the application. I don't pass it off to someone else to do their part. I do it all from start to finish! So, I get very attached to dentist, we are 1 by the end of the process!

So I guess I will continue to bust my ass and do as much as I can and see if I can get some people in my office to help me out, so I don't sink the ship at the end of the year! Wish me luck and send me positive energy to complete the project by the deadline!

Gay Marriage

Where do I even start on this one! I live in Utah, home of the LDS Church. I was watching the news the other night, laying bed with Dale, when our local news reported the LDS church was having meetings to encourage their members to get involved in getting the ban on gay marriage passed in California. I have also read reports and other things online since that news story, only to discover that the LDS church is sinking millions of dollars into California to stop gay marriage.

I think that that as a gay man in a relationship for 12 years that we should have the same rights as all Americans. We should not be second class citizens. My 12 year relationship is no better, worse or different from a heterosexual couple that has been married for 12 years.

I believe that marriage should be available to all Americans, gay or straight.

It is all about equality. If the LDS church chooses not to acknowledge a gay marriage that is there prerogative. They can choose what doctrine to teach and what they want there members to practice and believe. Just because a church thinks that gay marriage is against there teachings, does not mean that it is wrong.

We should all have the choice and marry whomever we choose.

A church that does not believe in gay marriage that is ok. But taking that right away from other people that do not believe the same is wrong. I think when a church forces its morals and standards on others, that is wrong. They have the freedom to preach what ever they choose, but they should not force that on me or anyone else.

I believe this country was built with the ideas of equality for all, it is now time to make that for everyone, even gay people, even if you do not think gay marriage is right, you should not take that away from other people that have different beliefs and views.

So before you cast that vote, before you judge someone that is different from you, think twice, think about how it may not be for you, but why should I take that away from someone else.

I know that Gay Marriage will made in to Federal Law in my lifetime. When that time comes, I will marry the man that has brought me so much joy, happiness and love. I will be so proud to walk down that isle and show the world, who I love. So what if it is someone of the same sex, we are a happy loving couple that has supported each other and been thru some rough times together. Why should someone keep that out of arms reach from me.

We have 3 wonderful grandchildren, I want to say to them one day, that your grandpa's are married and we are no longer second class citizens.

Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan

OMG!!! The new Sarah McLachlan CD came out today! I love Sarah! It is a greatest hits with a few new songs! I love it! She is so fabulous!
I have only seen her once in concert and the was the After Glow Tour. She hadn't toured in years and the first show was at the Key Arena in Seattle.( I love Seattle!) My dear friend and cousin Jo, lived in Washington at the time, So I went to visit her and while I was there we went to the concert. If I remember correctly it was on July 3rd! I drove to Washington all by myself and spent a week with her. It was a amazing, fun trip. My cousin need the support! I was so glad I went! So back to the show! We got floor seating! It was one of the most amazing concerts in my life. I love Sarah's energy and her music! It was so cool to be the first show in her tour after so many years.
Another story about Sarah, they played "Angel" at my uncles funeral. That song is so moving!
Another note about my cousin and Sarah, at the time After Glow came out, all of the songs on that CD seem to be telling her what she needed to hear at that time. She didn't pay much attention and moved back home to Utah a few months later. I love my cousin very much, I just wish she could see her inner beauty and how wonderful of a person she is and let go of the past.

Matchy Matchy!

Here is Tito our Chihuahua and his cousin Chico (Dale's Parents Chihuahua)!

Are they not the cutest things you have ever seen!

My First Blog Entry

Ok, so here is my first blog entry! So my dear friend Erica(you should see her blog) told me that I should do a blog, so here I am!

Where in the hell do u start? I have no clue, so some random thoughts will come and I will run with it!

So these pics of our fabulous little Tito Burrito and Maggie McGee! These are our cute little puppies!

So let me start with a few notes about me. I am a gay man, I have been with husband fir 12 years, 13 in January. I met him on my 21st Birthday and we have been together since then. He is a wonderful man! He is the most giving, calm, wonderful man! He had 3 children with a psycho bitch, but that is for a different blog. Back to the most wonderful man on earth, He would do anything or give anything to his children. The kids have blessed us with 3 Gran kids, all girls. I have to say they are all cute as cute can be. I will admit, that being 28yo, being called Grandpa wasn't easy, at first, now I am 33 and it isn't so bad, it is wonderful!

So that is a little bit about me! I am going to read a few more logs and then do another entry.
