The 30 Something List

So its just a few months before 35..
UGH!

And I have been dealing with the 30 something list. You know the things you thought you would have or be by this age of your life.
Dealing with the things you may have to give up on by this point or things you should be more focused on by this point.

These are most likely all things that I have procrastinated on so far two or three weeks after the birthday wont even matter again but until then ... for some reason I feel I must torture myself about.

Its getting progressively longer and more difficult to deal with daily... DRINKS Anyone?

I can be Father but not Husband....

Once Again, Florida's Anti-gay Adoption Ban Ruled "Unconstitutional"


For the second time this year, a Florida Circuit Court Judge has ruled that Florida’s 30-year-old adoption ban is unconstitutional.

Today, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman declared Florida's anti-gay adoption ban unconstitutional. In the 53-page ruling, Judge Lederman said, "It is clear that sexual orientation is not a predictor of a person's ability to parent.''

As a result of today’s ruling, Frank Gill, a gay man from North Miami, will move forward with the adoption of his two foster sons, 8 and 4 year-old half brothers, whom he has raised since 2004.

Gill was represented by the ACLU of Florida while the Florida Attorney General's Office, representing the Department of Children and Families, opposed the adoption. Representatives of the Attorney General said they would file an appeal.

This past September, Florida Circuit Court Judge David J. Audlin Jr. also ruled Florida's infamous, anti-gay adoption ban "unconstitutional."

In his ruling, Judge Audlin said the ban violates the Constitution's separation of powers by preventing decisions from being made on a case-by-case basis, and for the betterment of each child. He added that the ban contradicts state law by singling out one group for punishment. Most importantly, Judge Audlin declared that this adoption was clearly in the child's best interest.

The adopted 13 year-old, who also has special needs and learning disabilities, has been raised in Key West by his openly gay foster parent since 2001 when the Department of Children and Families placed him there. Social work studies highly recommended the adoption, stating it was a "loving and nurturing home" with fair discipline and financial security. The boy has also testified at a recent hearing himself, saying that he wants the man to be his "forever father."

Equality Florida has been working with our legislative allies in Tallahassee for the past 3 year to undo the harm caused by Florida’s anti-gay adoption ban. We are working toward the day when "best interest of the child" is the only criteria judges use to place children in loving, nurturing homes.

Today's ruling adds one more crack to the crumbling, bigoted foundation on which Florida's disgraceful, 30-year-old anti-gay adoption ban rests.

Can we all please learn something with these words..

Repeal Prop 2

What ever your personal beliefs may be, please don't let discrimination be part of who we all are as Floridians. Every human is entitled to the same rights no matter color, gender, or sexual orientation.

Its sad the more I read the less I think people really understand what just happened. Don't be fooled, reversing prop 2 doesn't mean gay's can get married, It protects everyones rights when they are not married, domestic partnerships, common-law commitments are a few common terms that this covers, way more then just gay marriage or gay rights.

Please education yourself, don't be fooled by the wording they have used to make this a "gay" issue, as it is so not. There are so many more straight's hurt by this then it could the homosexual community.

Read, Watch the videos included, educate yourselves, so that you can help educate others.

We all need to support one another and not allow Discrimination in our State, in our Country, on this Planet!

Peace,
Jeremy

Im being Pissy

I'm totally outraged that No on 2 didn't go the way it should have.

I can't believe that in the year 2008 there are still people who are so uneducated, unsocialized, and plain ignorant to what
equality and freedom for all really means.

If the argument is still the Sexuality is a choice then I argue then that no one should have the rights of marriage..

Do you choose to be born - NO
Do you choose the color of your eyes or hair - NO
Do you choose the color of your skin- NO
Do you choose to be male or female - NO

These are all things predesigned by your DNA and chemical makeup provided by your parents.

Do you choose to be Straight or Gay - I think NO same as above its not a choice you are given, you just are...

If you believe that Sexuality is a choice then I challenge you to prove you are Straight... If it is a choice then you can choose to someday "switch" therefore you can not prove you are straight...

Making laws that prevent people from something everyone else is entitled to based on sexuality is the same as being racist!

WHAT IS AMENDMENT 2?
What the Amendment Says
Amendment 2

"Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized."

What is Marriage?
Marriage is a social, religious, spiritual, or legal union of individuals. This union may also be called matrimony, while the ceremony that marks its beginning is usually called a wedding and the married status created is sometimes called wedlock.
Marriage is an institution in which interpersonal relationships (usually intimate and sexual) are acknowledged by religious authority and state. It is often viewed as a contract. "Civil marriage" is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution, in accordance with marriage laws of the jurisdiction. If recognized by the religion(s) to which the parties belong or by society and state, in general, the act of marriage changes the personal and social status of the individuals who enter into it.


Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

- Does this not mean you can not pass law based on religious belief? If Marriage is moreover a religious belief, then how can a state say someone is not entitled to this right if they so desire it?

The intolerance of our young nations bafills me sometimes. How can something as simple as what one my choose to do in their bedroom still matter to so many people.
Have we learned nothing of our raciest past when we once were so close-minded to sex, color, and religion.

We are a nation of progress, change, and tolerance when it comes every aspect of life, yet for some reason we are still socially and sexually retarded when it comes to the rights of HUMAN BEINGS overall.

I plead for someone to explain to me how this aspect of being a human is different then any other human when it comes down to all are created equally.
Does the 14th amendment not apply to all? The states exclusion of homosexuals is NOT okay.. The amendment requires states to provide equal protection under the law to ALL persons within their jurisdictions and was used in the mid-20th century to dismantle racial segregation in the United States, as in Brown v. Board of Education. Its Due Process Clause has been the basis of much important and controversial case law regarding privacy rights, abortion (see Roe v. Wade), and other issues.

How is man women, black white, straight gay different under these terms?
I simply fail to see how this aspect is different then the others....

new one!!

two more weeks..

Well,
Two more weeks whom will it be...

I've lost most of my interest, but Im sure it will be great once its all over..


Stay here or moving to Canada???

hmmm

Ah Dah,

What is 700 billion divided by 38.7million?


There problem is solved.. You come up with the 700 billion, we all take an equal share. Pay off our debts to banks and credit cards and there is even still some left for us to help stimulate the market.

Why is this so complex?

Time to look for a new car....

While I still love the SAAB 9-3, It's been 4 years and it served it's purpose and very well I might add..
With as often as I wish I could have a new car the idea of a lease sounds nice, but aunt Susie says thats tossing money out the window... so I guess I'll buy again... Here is what Consumer Reports has to say on the matter of cars..

I will attempt to keep up on a more reg. basis....

Ciao for now and hope that you are all well.

i fucking HATE walmart

JACKSON, Missouri (CNN) -- Debbie Shank breaks down in tears every time she’s told that her 18-year-old son, Jeremy, was killed in Iraq.

Debbie Shank, 52, has severe brain damage after a traffic accident in May 2000.

Even though the 52-year-old mother of three attended her son’s funeral -- she continues to ask how he’s doing. When her family reminds her that he’s dead -- she weeps as if hearing the news for the first time.

Shank suffered severe brain damage after a traffic accident nearly eight years ago that robbed her of much of her short-term memory and left her in a wheelchair and living in a nursing home.

It was the beginning of a series of battles -- both personal and legal -- that loomed for Shank and her family. One of their biggest was with Wal-Mart’s health plan.

Eight years ago, Shank was stocking shelves for the retail giant and signed up for Wal-Mart’s health and benefits plan.

Two years after the accident, Shank and her husband, Jim, were awarded about $1 million in a lawsuit against the trucking company involved in the crash. After legal fees were paid, $417,000 was placed in a trust to pay for Debbie Shank’s long-term care.

Wal-Mart had paid out about $470,000 for Shank’s medical expenses, but in 2005, Wal-Mart’s health plan sued the Shanks for the same amount.

The Shanks didn’t notice in the fine print of Wal-Mart’s health plan policy that the company has the right to recoup medical expenses if an employee collects damages in a lawsuit.

The family’s attorney, Maurice Graham, said he informed Wal-Mart about the settlement and believed the Shanks would be allowed to keep the money. Watch this couple’s story »

"We assumed after three years, they [Wal-Mart] had made a decision to let Debbie Shank use this money for what it was intended to," Graham said.

The Shanks lost their suit to Wal-Mart. Last summer, the couple appealed the ruling -- but also lost it. One week later, their son was killed in Iraq.

"They are quite within their rights. But I just wonder if they need it that bad," Jim Shank said.

In 2007, the retail giant reported net sales in the third quarter of $90 billion.

Legal or not, CNN asked Wal-Mart why the company pursued the money.

Wal-Mart spokesman John Simley, who called Debbie Shank’s case "unbelievably sad," replied in a statement: "Wal-Mart’s plan is bound by very specific rules. ... We wish it could be more flexible in Mrs. Shank’s case since her circumstances are clearly extraordinary, but this is done out of fairness to all associates who contribute to, and benefit from, the plan."

Jim Shank said he believes Wal-Mart should make an exception.

"My idea of a win-win is -- you keep the paperwork that says you won and let us keep the money so I can take care of my wife," he said.

The family’s situation is so dire that last year Jim Shank divorced Debbie, so she could receive more money from Medicaid.

Jim Shank, 54, is recovering from prostate cancer, works two jobs and struggles to pay the bills. He’s afraid he won’t be able to send their youngest son to college and pay for his and Debbie’s care.

"Who needs the money more? A disabled lady in a wheelchair with no future, whatsoever, or does Wal-Mart need $90 billion, plus $200,000?" he asked.

The family’s attorney agrees.

"The recovery that Debbie Shank made was recovery for future lost earnings, for her pain and suffering," Graham said.

"She’ll never be able to work again. Never have a relationship with her husband or children again. The damage she recovered was for much more than just medical expenses."

Graham said he believes Wal-Mart should be entitled to only about $100,000. Right now, about $277,000 remains in the trust -- far short of the $470,000 Wal-Mart wants back.

Refusing to give up the fight, the Shanks appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. But just last week, the high court said it would not hear the case.

Graham said the Shanks have exhausted all their resources and there’s nothing more they can do but go on with their lives.



Jim Shank said he’s disappointed with the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the case -- not for the sake of his family -- but for those who might face similar circumstances.

For now, he said the family will figure out a way to get by and "do the best we can for Debbie."

"Luckily, she’s oblivious to everything," he said. "We don’t tell her
what’s going on because it will just upset her."

Go Scotland

THE CHARITY Stonewall Scotland will tomorrow launch the most provocative advertising campaign aimed at tackling homophobic abuse and hate crime ever seen in Scotland.

Garish red posters will appear at 53 locations with the slogan, created by schoolchildren: "Some people are gay. Get over it!" Campaigners hope the message will educate the public against homophobic bullying at school and work.

The move follows the Scottish government's backing for a private members bill by the Green MSP, Patrick Harvie, which aims to tackle hate crime against gay people and the disabled.

Oh Andy

So while we were out the other night at the WEEN concert at Hard Rock, we spotted an old favorite of ours Andy Dick.

He was "really" enjoying the show, I'm not sure that the bar was the only thing helping that along.

Pictured here you can see Andy helping the crowd to keep a balloon afloat as it bounced stoner to stoner, I mean person to person.

American Idol' is "Coming to Disney World!"

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will create an "American Idol" attraction that will bring the television and pop culture phenomenon to life at the Walt Disney World Resort, it was jointly announced today by Jay Rasulo, chairman of Disney Parks and Resorts; Simon Fuller, CEO of 19 Entertainment; and Keith Hindle, executive vice president of FremantleMedia Licensing.

The attraction, slated to debut in late 2008, will be located at Disney's Hollywood Studios and will follow the model of the high-energy show. Guests will be able to experience the challenge of auditioning, the rush of performing on stage in competition, or the thrill of judging the performances in a live interactive entertainment setting with all the glitz and glamour of the distinctive "American Idol" set.

That experience will include an audition process, open to all who register, where Guests perform "live" in video kiosks in full view of a panel of screeners. Singers who pass this screening test will move on to the next stage before a Disney's Hollywood Studios producer to be cast in a theme park show. After backstage preparation -- working with a vocal coach, hair and makeup -- it's lights up and showtime in front of a "live" audience and a panel of judges.

Guest performers with the highest votes will compete in an end-of-day Grand Finale show at the attraction, and the winner will receive a guaranteed reservation for a future regional stadium audition for the TV show -- to ensure no waiting in long lines. But when it comes down to the television show auditions, everyone is treated equal.

"Millions of people have imagined themselves standing on the 'American Idol' stage," said Rasulo. "We're excited that we will be bringing this dream to life every day at the Walt Disney World Resort."

Added Fuller, "One of the most remarkable elements about 'American Idol' is that for a brief moment each week, we can provide TV viewers the opportunity to imagine life as America's next superstar. Disney's new attraction perfectly captures what we at 'American Idol' feel is the heart and soul of this brand, real people getting a shot to make their dream a reality."

"This partnership," noted Hindle, "brings the number one show on television, watched in [more than] 100 countries, to the number one theme park destination in the world. It's a perfect combination and opportunity to offer everyone a taste of the 'American Idol' experience."

The coming "American Idol" attraction will reflect the best and brightest of the TV show, giving starry-eyed park guests a chance to become a star on the attraction's stage. It joins an all-star lineup at Disney's Hollywood Studios, a celebration of today's Hollywood in movies, television, music and theater. Among the new adventures debuting in 2008 is the just-opened "Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" plus coming attractions "Block Party Bash," an interactive and moving Disney-Pixar spectacle filling the theme park streets; and Toy Story Mania! immersing Guests in a 3-D interactive ride-through video game starring popular Disney-Pixar Toy Story characters.

Post Script...

Today over all, was great!! I should just shut-up now about the few work hours that sucked.

  I had the late wake-up, the great lunch I had with friends, the WEEN concert and free drinks till now & Tina's SB ticket tonight. 

 I had an amazing day, more then not!!!!!

 -Click

Damn Kids today...

If you are 30 or older you will think this is Hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious stories about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning ... Uphill BOTH ways

Yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, There was no way I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on Kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.

You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today don't know how good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet . If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email!! We had to actually write  somebody a letter ..with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to Steal music, you had to Hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it Yourself! Or you had to wait Around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd Usually talk over the Beginning and mess it all up!
We didn't have fancy stuff like Call Waiting! If you Were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes/Phones either!
When the phone rang, you Had no idea who it was! It could be your school, Your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you Just didn't know!!! You had To pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video Games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games Like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids". Your guy was a little square! You Actually had to use your
Imagination! And there were no multiple levels or Screens, it was just one screen Forever!

And you could never win. The game just kept getting Harder and harder and Faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such Thing as stadium seating!
All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy
Or some old broad with a hat Sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were Just screwed!

Sure, we had cable television, but back then that Was only like 15 channels...there was no on screen menu and no remote Control! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! And forget channel surfing! You had to get off your butt and walk over to the TV to change the channel...
There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK For cartoons, you spoiled little brats!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we had to Use the stove or go build a frigging fire ..imagine that! If we wanted Popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it over the stove Forever like an idiot.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids  today have got it too easy.
You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

Thankful

So thankful for such an amazing weather day!

To Leak or Not to Leak

So, in my some what expanding network... sometimes I get celebrity info that I struggle with forwarding on.  Im just not sure if I should or should not keep it going.

 Now personally I  feel that matters of deep personal concern should stay private. But you know when someone's fooling around or their cell phone number gets published or text message about someone else gets published.. I think it's all in good fun...

 So for that being said... Allegedly, here is Actor Crispin Glovers digits.. call if you want 213-618-6067, but i'd call soon as I'm sure it will be changed by tomorrow after tonight's endless ringing.

 

Good Luck Fans...

Hello One & All -

 Here is the first and opening post of The Chattering Classes.

 It's here like in most blogs we'll spout off,  mostly rambling on sapid about nothing. Once in awhile there may be an item that raises an issue for you, but in the end we hope that you read with an open mind and maybe learn a little something here and there along the way.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
