What is this feeling

I think for the first time in my life I have felt homesick. It’s a weird feeling for me I have traveled extensively around this fine earth and both long and short periods of time but in this recent move I missed some of my Omaha friends.

Theme Song... but its a little gay

So for every trip i go on i pick up a theme song, so this is the one i have been listening for my cali:

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...

I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love - I guess I have lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...

I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend...


So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately -
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me -

Tell them how I
Am defying gravity!
I'm flying high
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

Ban Overturned

I am sitting here, in Cal., pondering what this means to me and how, as a gay man, it effect my life and how i don't know what this means to me yet.

California's Top Court Legalizes Gay Marriage

AN FRANCISCO - California's Supreme Court declared gay couples in the nation's biggest state can marry — a monumental but perhaps short-lived victory for the gay rights movement Thursday that was greeted with tears, hugs, kisses and at least one instant proposal of matrimony.

Same-sex couples could tie the knot in as little as a month. But the window could close soon after — religious and social conservatives are pressing to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would undo the Supreme Court ruling and ban gay marriage.

"Essentially, this boils down to love. We love each other. We now have equal rights under the law," declared a jubilant Robin Tyler, a plaintiff in the case along with her partner. She added: "We're going to get married. No Tupperware, please."

A crowd of people raised their fists in triumph inside City Hall, and people wrapped themselves in the rainbow-colored gay-pride flag outside the courthouse. In the Castro, the historic center of the gay community in San Francisco, Tim Oviatt wept as he watched the news on TV.

"I've been waiting for this all my life. This is a life-affirming moment," he said.

By the afternoon, gay and lesbian couples had already started lining up at San Francisco City Hall to make appointments to get marriage licenses. In West Hollywood, supporters were planning to serve "wedding cake" at an evening celebration.

James Dobson, chairman of the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, called the ruling an "outrage."

Universal Warming: Solar Cycles

I had heard (when i was working at the newspaper) that human interference in global temperature could only amount to at most 3-4% or so total global warming (if not less) and that the recent changes are just another example of the continuing climate shifts that our earth goes through every century. I had some sites recently sent to me and they are quite interesting, apparently our sister plant, Mars, is going through something of a warming too... maybe its all those damn NASA probe emissions?

And just the other day i sat and watched the History Channel's 'The little ice age: The big chill' based of a book that reveals a climate shift between 1300 to 1850 called global cooling. Show more examples of our worlds constantly evolving pattern. According to the show it caused clataclysmic events and hazard the changed the path of humanity taking credit for the frozen Viking colonists in Greenland, accelerated the Black Death in Europe, decimated the Spanish Armada, and helped trigger the French Revolution in the 21st century.

Big Chill Book: How climate change made history

Now these were only a few degrees but drastically change the natural balance of crops, water location and created once fruitful occupied areas into inhabitable barren tundras. which scares me as we inch toward slow water shortages and uncertain famine.

In my mind the best we can hope for is that it will be the smaller an shorter of the global changes and not to make it any worse than it already is.
