Raise your glass, you was born this way!

So I can easily obsess over songs. Yeah...addictive personality. So better music than other outlets. I've worn out many songs over the years, much to the annoyance of those around me. Most recently "Disturbia" by Rihanna (and let's face it, the video made the song work); "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk (damn you KC for exposing me to that! Love ya for it!!) and now "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga.

Let me say that I thought that "Poker Face" was her best, then "Bad Romance" took me. Now "Born This Way" has grabbed hold hard. And I think it's due to the lyrics saying something to me as a gay man, a Pagan and as a fat man. It speaks to any outcast, just like "Raise Your Glass" does. And so it may sound a little like "Express Yourself" from Madonna, so what? Madonna is getting some exposure from this and maybe even some credit. That should be celebrated that she has really made an impact. People just wanna rip apart those who've made it and are on a musical high note in their career. It an Amerikan need to knock people off pedestals that they put people on. Look at the former homeless man who has a Gods-gift voice for radio.

Fuck all that! Enjoy the damn song and just dance and celebrate!!!

That's so gay...

So I'm gonna drop my two cents on this whole bulldren topic of anti-LGBT corporations. Here we go:

I don't too much give a damn what these companies think of me and how I live! You wanna give your profits to anti-equality causes? Fine, do so. That's your choice. But you will receive all the consequences of that choice. Am I upset over Chick-fil-A giving money to certain groups? Hell no, I don't even patron there any damn way! What about that whole Target shit last year? I don't shop there no more. Not for over 6-7 years since they put into place a rule that says their employees can ignore you and not give you service if they have a "moral objection" to your lifestyle. Gay, urban clothing, alliterative religions. Any of it. Fuck that!

My point is this: Your "moral objections" should be left at the damn door when you walk in and clock in to go to work! You work in public service (retail and/or food service), so you do not get a say in how you think I should and should not live! And fuck you and your Mama if you even try to object to me! When I come into your store, you work for me. I fund your damn paycheck if I decide to buy anything. I'm the boss, you're not. Deal or get a job that ain't dealing with the fucking public!

If you are a medical professional, then you took an oath to do no harm. You can't object to people for not following the parts of your religious texts that you decide are morally superior! And either follow ALL of the texts or none of them. You can't pick and choose!!! Now I am forever thankful my Doctor ain't a fucked up shitfuckcunt who won't treat people for being different. You don't want to treat sick or injured people who happen to be LGBT? Fine, I don't want you treating me. Your ignorance may just be contagious. So fuck you!

And then there's this whole abortion shit storm the Repuklicunts are focusing on instead of creating jobs and bringing job back to this country. Well, that's when they are at work and not on vacation or cheating on their spouses and ignoring the "Family Values" they shout about to get votes. You don't want abortions? Then don't get pregnant! I swear, if men could get pregnant, then abortions would be available at drive-thru windows everywhere!

I'm all for abortions, in the right circumstances. Rape, incest, no quality of life for the child (through deformity, not the financial limitations of the parent or parents) or if the pregnancy will kill the mother. Those times are when abortions should always be allowed. Not as a birth control method for stupid whorish girls who can't keep their legs closed or a condom on the men they are fucking! Granted that's how they feel validated and that's a whole other rant entirely.

And I love how conservatives only care about you until you're born. Then they don't give a fuck. No quality education, health care, quality food or anything. But then, when you turn 18, they magically reappear and want you to join the Armed Forces. Conservatives want live babies so they can have dead soldiers.

So fuck your "moral objections" and get back to work! You wanna object? Quit your job! Go work in a community that thinks like you do. Those of us who you object to won't come around anyway. You'll be happy in your little bubble.

Shit Storm of 2010

OK, yeah been away for a bit. Deal. I got drafted to "pre-count" the inventory for the warehouse at my job. Boss didn't tell me that it'd be a three week ordeal BEFORE the actual inventory! Ugh...

Anyway, I'm back fuckers. Maybe a little dulled from all that time spent counting phones, parts of phones and circuit boards, but I'm still your friendly neighborhood Irate Wiccan Faggot! So let's jump back into the sauna of broken glass and get 2011 off as well as we can. And yes, it's fucking February, so I'm a tad late to the party. Whatever...y'all just arrived early. I'm right on time!

So I'm gonna start off with THE shit situation/drama that filled the last six months of 2010;
It's not a big secret that most of my friends ain't too fond of The Hubby. Sure, he's weird and out there, but he's a genuine soul. Very kind and loving. Hell, he has to be...look who he puts up with! Anyway, he's had medical issues since his time spent in The First Gulf War. Add this to the fact that his social graces aren't exactly the best. You may see where this equation is going.

Well apparently it finally hit critical at some point before July 2010. I say this because it wasn't brought to our attention until that month. After a birthday dinner for a friend the weekend of The Fourth of July, The Hubby made a mention on Facebook about how he was tired of seeing me ignored by friends. Well that was all that was needed to stir the Shit Storm of 2010.

Apparently The Hubby hit a nerve. So in turn, he was banned from the newly bought house of a friend because of his "hygiene habits" and wouldn't be allowed in until this friend and her gal felt that he had changed enough to be allowed in. All this is on top of the brewing of us not being invited to their House Warming Party, though we of course found out why. And what upset me the most was that it was being taken out on me as well, just for being in a relationship with him! Then I put a few things together and figured out that I was lied to by this friend (she also told the same lie to other mutual friends). Oh joy...

There was e-mails back and forth for a while, in fact all this has been done by e-mail to my ire. Frankly if you can't speak to my face about something as big as this, then you are a coward and don't respect me, my relationship or my Hubby and don't seemingly have the capacity to show dignity. All this now former friend has done is hide behind a computer screen and a keyboard and she has the nerve to call me childish?! Her gal de-friended The Hubby and I on Facebook and two other friends who defended us at their House Warming Party when the girlfriend couldn't keep her mouth shut about how gross The Hubby is. And as one friend put it, "They where handed a logical argument that they didn't like."

Another thing that set me off was the very apparent hypocrisy of their argument. "Your Hubby coughs without covering his mouth and picks his nose and takes off shoes and socks to scratch his feet." OK, that's your arguing points. No other position offered. But another friend has severe dry skin that flakes off and he actually eats some of the flakes! EEWWWW!!! And yet he's still allowed over with no issue. That's when I got it. The Hubby was singled out because he just isn't liked. Especially by the girlfriend. She already got rid of one person (found out the circumstances around that recently...explained the absence), so guess we got to be the 2-for-1 special.

So I lost a friend of 13 years to petty Junior High Politics. Sure, sucks pretty bad, but it's a situation I can deal with. Wish it hadn't come to this, but I am not going to play childish games because you can't communicate like an adult, face-to-face and with some sense. And I find it funny that they go on about The Hubby's "hygiene habits" when I've gotten a little grossed out by the "ick factor" of how they live. I've helped move them before and trust me, they ain't shining examples of how to live cleanly. Not saying that they live in filth, they don't. But don't go claiming OCD germaphobic bullshit when I've seen you pick your nose or not sweep up the kitchen for a month!

But congrats to them both. They got rid of someone they didn't like nor want around...just so happens that they got rid of two. That's on them. Karma is a bitch and they will both have to answer for their actions, inactions and lies at some point.

So that bullshit took up the last half of 2010. It may not seem like much or that it shouldn't have been drawn out that far (it shouldn't), but that's what went down. People want to be petty and controlling. So be it. That's for them to answer for.
