Okay...I'm new here....

So, I am currently rocketing towards 40, and I have (FINALLY) entered the computer age!
My dear friend Seth, out of the kindness of his heart, just gave my my FIRST computer. Okay, it's really a hand-me-down, but beggars can't be choosers!

And, yes, it is nearing the end of 2008, and this IS the first time IN MY LIFE I have owned a computer. Sad, I know!

I'm not yet sure what this will turn into, but I am hoping it will be another "positive" outlet for all the bizarre ideas, thoughts, fears that enter my crazy mind.

I suffer from clinical drepression (yeah, I know, who DOESN'T these days?), so hard telling what you might read here, depends on the day.

I can tell you this much, I love animals (ALL of them, even the "ugly-cute" ones). People that abuse, neglect, torture, or mistreat animals are the lowest form of "life" there is. And if you are in any way involved with/watch/support-by-lack-of-action the worthless "sport" of dogfighting.....I hope you die a long, slow, violently painful death..........that way you can know a FRACTION of the torment you but these animals through!!!!

I don't USUALLY get into politics, ( I am eqaul opportunity when it comes to politicians....I don't trust ANY of them!), but this past year was a bit different.
I am so happy and proud that Barak Obama is set to be our next president!! It is about time we had something other than "white", male" and often "old" in the White House!!
That being said, I know he is human. He WILL make mistakes, he WILL fail in some things, and he WON'T be perfect.
But......it was time for a MAJOR change. We needed to switch it up. This is the first time I have ever REALLY followed an election, or even CARED what the outcome would be!
YES WE CAN, baby! Seriously, even if you don't like Pres-Elect Obama, you gotta admit that he is an INCREDIBLE speaker!! The man could read the ingredient list on a cake mix out loud and tears would well in my eyes as I said "Amen, brother, preach it!"

And if I hear ANYONE else say something about himbeing a Muslim, I swear I will punch them!
And so what if he WAS a Muslim....SO FREAKING WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What on earth is wrong with that? Does it say somewhere in the constitution that our President HAS TO BE a CHRISTIAN???? Don't think so!
I hope someday we DO have a Muslim President! And a Jewish one! Maybe Hindu, Buddist whatever-other-religion-I- can't- remember President!
While we are at it, maybe a female or Latino President!
And dare I say it..... I hope someday (in my lifetime would be AWESOME) we have an (openly) Gay President!! All of those groups (and more) are members of our United States, shouldn't THEY be represented too??
Isn't this country suppose to be a melting pot??? Then lets start melting baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew.....blogging is fun!

I am also a lover of many kinds of music, NOT into country much. I worked in radio as an on-air personality for 15 years. THAT is a whole 'nother blog...................!!!

Okay, I guess this is good for an "intro" to my life as a blogger.

In case you haven't noticed, I firmly believe in Diversity. I have friends from many religions, ethnic/racial backgrounds, sexual orientations/gender identities and so on.
I will admit I have some VERY srtong opinions, and I am EXTREMELY Stubborn. (Just ask my poor husband....God bless him!). But I truly think we need to have eqaulity for the races, for GLBT peoples, for all religions, for people with disabilities ( again, friends with MANY people in that catagory), and for animals. (How I would LOVE a medi-care type thing for the furry babies!).
I have always been an odd mix of personality traits. Shy but talkative, open-minded and yet "closed-minded" to STUPID PEOPLE, friendly but afraid to trust.
Over-all I am too normal for the strange people and too strange for the noraml people.
I fit in everywhere and no where at the same time!! (Good at a party....not so fun the rest of the time)......Is it possible to be BOTH conservative AND Liberal???? Does that make me...a...Librative.......? WHO KNOWS!

Peace people, and if you don't love animals, just go away now. You're NOT gonna like me!
