Today a dumbass asked me why I care so much since Prop 8 is a "California issue" and I'm a New Yorker. It's not a "California issue," dumbass. It's a human issue and I don't have to be a resident of California to feel strongly about something. Unreal.

Mango posted this on Twitter, it's worth putting here as well. I've had MUDders ask me what Prop 8 is and why it's in my title and I like this ad a lot. Apparently it's Samuel L. Jackson (thanks, Mango), I didn't know that when I heard it before.

In any case, no on 8 and here is a really informative website. Maybe we can motivate some MUDders to get away from Waterdeep and go vote.

No on 8!

I got the unrated Strangers and I'm afraid to watch it.

That movie really creeps me out just from the trailers.

My new year doesn't start on January 1st this year. Last January 1st I was well into my unknown kidney decline and they had written my dad off already. This year my new year starts in November, the 27th to be exact. That was the day they rushed my dad to the hospital and the day it all started.

I've come a long way in a year. From a hair away from dead with a week I still can't remember to being off dialysis with the catheter removed. In the six months since I've been out of the hospital I've defied the odds and worked really hard to get to where I am.

Yet it's not enough. I get angry at myself for not having done more. I know it's not rational and I know it's just frustration but I get really pissed at myself for not having a car yet, for not having the lawsuit closer yet, for not being able to get through a day without throwing up, for feeling so weak and tired even though it's not my fault. Seems I have next to no iron in my body and I don't generate red blood cells or something like that. They're talking possible monthly transfusions which really isn't a big deal but it's a reminder that I'm not okay. Hell, I'll probably never be okay.

I'm okay enough to go to Everest Base Camp though. I've looked into it and a dude even summited with one kidney so that's one thing the kidneys didn't ruin for me.

It's become really important to me to re-connect with certain people from my past. Not to re-live the past, I kind of like the present. I've just had a lot of time to think and I've been really lucky with the people in my life and there are some I should have worked harder to not lose touch with. I want to find these people and keep in touch even if it's only the occasional email or whatever.

It's almost like coming out of a two year sleep. I wasted year one acting like a drama mama and getting into some stupid shit I should have avoided and ended up not liking what I saw when I looked in the mirror. Then I spend year two pretty much on my ass near dead. I've come to understand so much even though there's still a world of confusion out there.

I need to work on being patient with myself and my many imperfections, I need to keep my kidneys at their 20%, I need to tone up for Everest. All in my new year, my 2009 that begins in November.

The people I search I shall now list, Google does powerful things.

I also need to start writing more. It really does help me sort it all out.

Happy early new year, kiddo.

Since we live in the middle of nowhere we get two sets of the main network channels, east and west coast. I don't have a DVR yet so it's really convenient to be able to tune into the California networks and watch stuff. I also find their news fascinating, it's different than ours.

They have a lot of propositions in California with a lot of commercials for and against. By far the most I see are about Prop 8. I'll admit I don't know enough about the details of Prop 8 to try and sound like I know what I'm talking about but at its most base level it's blatant discrimination and I hope it doesn't pass.

The commercials make me see red, they really irk me. I won't post the video here, I don't want to give them any PR but they're on youtube. This little girl comes skipping in from school to tell mommy she learned a prince can marry a prince and she can marry a princess. Mommy of course looks utterly horrified and then they cut to the spin. Another one spouts the need to preserve 'traditional marriage' and I find it all in really bad taste and I find these people a whole lot more offensive than gays getting married.

They have this ominous voice warn that children will learn about gay marriage in school and blah blah blah. Come on, people. Little Johnnie is stealing your Xanax out of the medicine cabinet so he can take it to school and sell it at recess or trade it for little Jenny's ritalin but God forbid - gay marriage!

I am 100% pro gay marriage, always have been. Prop 8 is a narrow-minded bit of legislative discrimination the world can do without. I don't want the government in my bedroom, I don't want the government defining marriage for me, I don't want the government doubling as the morality police.

All the shit that's seriously wrong with America and this is what people want to argue about. Leave people the hell alone and let them lead their consensual adult lives, please. Fix the economy. Fix health care. Fix education. Fix the overcrowded prisons.

Do the right thing, California. Hell no on Prop 8.
