3 things that piss me off

1- the anti-gay marriage group. you have the right to not like homos, you have the right to say I dont think there should be gay marriage BUT YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DENY HOMOS THEIR RIGHTS. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY. SAME AS ANYONE ELSE. It's fine to oppose gay marriage but not fine to vote against it.2- people who switch lanes WHEN THERE ARE SOLID LINES WHICH MEANS DON'T SWITCH LANES! (like in construction zones)3- people who say nevermind EXCUSE ME BUT IF YOU DIDNT FRIGGIN MUMBLE ALL THE TIME MAYBE I WOULDNT HAVE TO KEEP ASKING!

Good movie.

What Classic Movie Are You?

Today

I woke up today and there was still school. I didn't care. It sets up for future snow days. I didn't want today to be a snow day anyways, not a Friday. Snow days have to be like... Wednesdays. I remember in Calculus, the class established Wednesday was the worst day of the entire week.Anyways.The roads weren't that bad. So I went into Pottery, finished a couple things in that class, then headed off to a meeting with the superintendent. She wanted to talk to me about my newspaper article that I wrote for NGN - SEN re: the budget crisis. (If you want to see it, leave a comment and I'll mail it to you). She wanted to correct an error in my writing, tell me some other stuff ... she basically wants me to help raise awareness so I'll be writing another article about it. Then she was like sooooooo hows the weather and I was like haha not too bad, the snow is not really hard and its just kinda like falling down. .. and I said my brother (10th gr) was mad we had school! And she was like well being mad is different than dissapointed! And she said she had called several ppl and they all said school was fine (superintendents dont just wake up and go ooooo i think ill have school ... they call other superintendents, the principals, the police chief, etc) and they said the roads were safe...it was a good meeting I like herWalking out I overheard the secretary askin the bus co. if they could come early ... then I left the building (Sup's office is @ the JHS across fromt the SHS) I was like woa the snow was a lot more hard and it was falling harder .. I was like yeah we're having early D and we did at 12 30. I'm glad, I wanted a full day to get in ... if I am gonna wake up at 6 30, I'm going to school dammit. So now we dont have to make it up, and it was a nothing day cuz of the weather so its all good.Lit of the Fan was just eh...sat there did nothing...in Dyna Dem I talked about what I talked about with Dr Reynolds (superintendent) and we had a discussion abt the budget crisis.came home, chilled on the net, ate hot fudge (my moms hot fudge ...omg ... thank god I finally got rid of it all, its like candy) ummm ... watch a movie ... Still Shining I think it was called, makde in like 92 .. michael douglas. I liked it, I liked the songs and the way they showed the movie ... good directing and they didnt use sharp color, some graininess, which really made it look good ... ummmm wow that american cinema class is making me notice all these things...hm.ANYWAYS...work tomorrow...baseball sunday...mapping i think is monday...then ill work out again tuesday wednesday thursday (canceled my offday) friday and saturday then baseball then Feb. vaca...Baseball "tryouts" are close and I still dont know if Im goin back.

Another step towards becoming an actual democracy

The Massachusetts high court ruled Wednesday that only full, equal marriage rights for gay couples - rather than civil unions - are constitutional, clearing the way for the nation's first same-sex marriages in the state as early as May."The history of our nation has demonstrated that separate is seldom, if ever, equal," the four justices who ruled in favor of gay marriage wrote in the advisory opinion requested by the state Senate.After seven gay couples sued in 2001, the Supreme Judicial Court ruled in November that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry. In its 4-3 ruling, the seven-member court gave the Legislature six months to change state laws to make it happen.But the vague wording of the ruling left lawmakers - and advocates on both sides - uncertain if Vermont-style civil unions would satisfy the court's decision.The Massachusetts court said any civil unions bill that falls short of marriage would establish an "unconstitutional, inferior, and discriminatory status for same-sex couples."The state Senate asked for more guidance from the court, whose advisory opinion was made public Wednesday morning when it was read into the Senate record.The much-anticipated opinion sets the stage for next Wednesday's constitutional convention, where the Legislature will consider an amendment that would legally define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Without the opinion, Senate President Robert Travaglini had said the vote would be delayed.The soonest a constitutional amendment could end up on the ballot would be 2006, meaning that until then the high court's decision will be Massachusetts law no matter what is decided at the constitutional convention."We've heard from the court, but not from the people," Gov. Mitt Romney said in a statement. "The people of Massachusetts should not be excluded from a decision as fundamental to our society as the definition of marriage."Travaglini said he wanted time to talk with fellow senators before deciding what to do next."I want to have everyone stay in an objective and calm state as we plan and define what's the appropriate way to proceed," Travaglini said.Conservative leaders said they were not surprised by the advisory opinion, and vowed to redouble their efforts to pass the constitutional amendment.Mary Bonauto, an attorney who represented the seven couples who filed the lawsuit, said she anticipated a fierce battle, saying that "no matter what you think about the court's decision, it's always wrong to change the constitution to write discrimination into it."When it was issued in November, the 4-3 ruling set off a firestorm of protest across the country among politicians, religious leaders and others opposed to providing landmark rights for gay couples to marry.President Bush immediately denounced the decision and vowed to pursue legislation to protect the traditional definition of marriage. Church leaders in the heavily Roman Catholic state also pressed their parishioners to oppose efforts to allow gays to marry.And legislators were prepared to vote on a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would seek to make the court's ruling moot by defining as marriage as a union between one man and one woman - thus expressly making same-sex marriages illegal in Massachusetts.What the case represented, both sides agree, was a significant new milestone in a year that has seen broad new recognitions of gay rights in America, Canada and abroad, including a June U.S. Supreme Court decision striking a Texas ban on gay sex.Legal experts, however, said that the long-awaited decision, while clearly stating that it is unconstitutional to bar gay couples from marriage, gave ambiguous instructions to the state Legislature.Lawmakers remained uncertain if civil unions went far enough to live up to the court's ruling - or if actual marriages were required.When a similar decision was issued in Vermont in 1999, the court told the Legislature that it could allow gay couples to marry or create a parallel institution that conveys all the state rights and benefits of marriage. The Legislature chose the second route, leading to the approval of civil unions in that state.The Massachusetts decision made no mention of an alternative solution, but instead pointed to a recent decision in Ontario, Canada, that changed the common law definition of marriage to include same-sex couples and led to the issuance of marriage licenses there.The state "has failed to identify any constitutionally adequate reason for denying civil marriage to same-sex couples," the court wrote. "Barred access to the protections, benefits and obligations of civil marriage, a person who enters into an intimate, exclusive union with another of the same sex is arbitrarily deprived of membership in one of our community's most rewarding and cherished institutions."The Massachusetts case began in 2001, when the seven gay couples went to their city and town halls to obtain marriage licenses. All were denied, leading them to sue the state Department of Public Health, which administers the state's marriage laws.A Suffolk Superior Court judge threw out the case in 2002, ruling that nothing in state law gives gay couples the right to marry. The couples immediately appealed to the Supreme Judicial Court, which heard arguments in March.The plaintiffs argued that barring them from marrying a partner of the same sex denied them access to an intrinsic human experience and violated basic constitutional rights.Over the past decade, Massachusetts' high court has expanded the legal parameters of family, ruling that same-sex couples can adopt children and devising child visitation right for a former partner of a lesbian.Massachusetts has one of the highest concentrations of gay households in the country with at 1.3 percent of the total number of coupled households, according to the 2000 census. In California, 1.4 percent of the coupled households are occupied by same-sex partners. Vermont and New York also registered at 1.3 percent, while in Washington, D.C., the rate is 5.1 percent
