Feeds:Monday, Ninth Week
The Internets hold much that is beautiful, and much that is horrible. I was taking some time to read Tricky's blog, and one thing he had to say just struck me as being remarkably true and beautiful: "If the truth behind a painting could be captured in an essay, why paint?"
Subsequently, I went to the comments section to remark upon it. Now, the comments on Tricky's blog have ads at the bottom, by where you type new comments in, and one of them caught my eye. The link read, in bold, "Aborting Gay Babies" and undernead that, "Are you still pro-choice?"
Now I'm no fan of abortion -to be concise, I see it as stright-up killing of human beings- but what. is. this?! What kind of horrible, twisted person thinks up things like this? Granted, I did not click the link, but I am disgusted nonetheless. For all I know, this may be a legitimate social issue, but can anyone give me a good reason for it to be treated so crassly? I doubt there is one.
Unfortunately, that wasn't even the first horrible thing of the day. Czech this out. A girl's picture ganked from her senior yearbook because she's wearing a tuxedo. That's not even deviant behavior, and makes for a lot nicer a picture than some girls' senior photos I've seen. It doesn't matter that she IS a lesbian; this is a matter of personal freedom and flagrant abuse of authority. Bah!
In much happier news, my birthday present for Tori was very well received, and I had a pleasant, if not restful, time out in the suburbs. While I was there, the cutest thing happened, as well. It had been the case that Ellie would say "Tick-tock!" and Aunt Jomari would say "Mommy loves you!" Jomari would say "Tick-tock!" to Ellie, though, Ellie would also say, "Mommy loves you!" Aunt Jomari had, we were told, been trying unsuccessfully to get her to respond with "Ellie loves you!" At some point during dinner, someone said "Tick-tock", and Ellie immediately said, "Ellie loves you!" Then this whole thing was explained, and Ellie went around the entire table saying "Tick-tock!" to everyone,and getting the appropriate responese. It was adorable.
I don't have anything funny to end with; I just want to go do my homework now.
