Gays Rock! Thank you Judge Jane Phan with the Utah State Tax Commission for ruling that a Utah woman can keep her "GAYSROK" and "GAYRYTS" license plates. No the government can not pick or choose which subjects it likes or does not like. Besides it is a positive message. It is not hateful! It is friendly, agreeable and positive. And yes, I think that it is a victory for the car owner too, but you know what it should not have even been an issue!
"God created all people in his own image and likeness" and "Love thy neighbor as thyself" I don't know about you but I learned that in my elementary religion class. Since when are we, like the government, allowed to pick and choose who gets what rights and what freedoms over others.
We are all God's miracles! And don't forget there is still such a thing in this country ( and that is what makes it so great) as freedom of speech.
Personally, I think we need to all learn to get along and respect one another and teach our children to do the same. We should respect one another and the environment in which we live. Let's stop the abuse!
I recently went recreational kayaking in a beautiful river with small rippling rapids nestled in the mountainous region of my state. The River and surrounding bluffs were beautiful except for the liter I saw scattered here and there along the river bank and in the water. Beer cans and plastic bottle ties and sandwich bags and every kind of wrapper you can image lying along side the river bank in the rocks, bushes, and lovely trees. What a shame!
Where is the respect for nature? Most kayak and canoe outfits even provide trash bags to take along with you on the river for the purpose of keeping our waterways clean.
It takes many years for plastic to dispose so it disfigures our land for many years? If only we could have a little more respect for all living and non living things that make up our beautiful countryside.
I have another pet peeve to complain about while I am doing such a good job. And that are the people in boats who speed up and down the shallow waterways where kayaks and canoe are traveling. I know everyone has the right to be out there, we are all tax payers but I ask you to please think about the other guy and the results are your actions. Would you please slow down when passing small non-motored recreational crafts! It is called common courtesy guys! The passing speeding boats create such waves in the river that small kayaks and canoes nearly capsize. Can't we all respect one another and get along. What's the hurry! Someone may even give you a beer if you slow down long enough to be nice and say "Hi".
Where I do find many friendly people is on the bicycle, running and walking paths in many of the surrounding metropolitian area parks. Usually people are very courteous and friendly. Put a smile on your face and just see how many smiles are mirrored to yours. It works! Be friendly and people are friendly back to you. It doesn't take any extra time to to it and smiling uses less facial muscles than frowning. And we are instantly prettier and look ten years younger - and with your new workout body - go baby go! Remember age is merely a state of mind! Think about it! We create our own realities - no really! Think about it!
Trust and believe in yourself. We do have more power than what we think we have when it comes to creating our own realities.
Don't forget to be nice! Do something nice for someone else and watch what beautiful transformations happen in YOUR life.
Have a beautiful day now! Oh, and take the time to thank God for your blessings.....you have some ...just think about them.

Wednesday July 20, 2005
I am all moved with remaining boxes stuffed neatly in closets out-of-sight. Now if only I could find what I am looking for!
I love my new condo! It is smaller then the last one so there is last space for junk to accomulate. And really, why keep all that stuff you will never use anyway. Besides, I can't spend the money and accumulate the toys if I do not have the room. Or, if you buy one thing then you must get rid of another thing that you are not using anyway - like all those bicycles. One hybrid and one road bike should be enough. I'll sell the other ones or give them away.
So, what's D-Main Barney Frank going to do for government employees? Do you really think he can pull it off. Do you really think he and the other 52 representatives back and get passed domestic benefits for non-married couples?
Personally, I think the Right Wing Republicans will chew it up and spit it out. I think each and every one of us need to contact our representatives and demand this bill get passed. We as tax payers have just as much right by being tax payers alone, as any one else.
Personally I am a little frightened that Sandra Day O'Connor is leaving. We will miss her "swing" vote which was usually to the more liberal side of the pendulum. The new guy, old man's Bush's friend young 50 year old (just means he'll be there for 50 years) John Roberts Jr. will fit in neatly with Clarence Thomas (was he suppose to represent his people?) and the rest of the altra conservatives. I'm afraid quite frankly that many of the freedoms we have enjoyed will be taken away. And since when should the government tell me what to do with my body? Don't you think that that is a little personal? Just get off our high horse for one minute and really think about it? The chip in the back of the neck may be next! Who you like that too? Workers on the road holler about the employers'GPS tracking their whereabouts - that chip in the fleshy part of the back of your neck will do the same thing.
I guess it would be great if you get abducted? What if you are trying to escape an abusive spouse or lover and the law will not help you - he or she hasn't physically hurt you yet. So you run, you keep moving from city to city, job to job. You must keep moving and use cash only purchases because he has friends who have access to computers and files and can trace your credit card action and follow your GPS signal no matter where you go. You say I'd would just remove the chip. Oh, but he injected it one night after he drugged you and you have no idea that it is there! Or let's say it is a state requirement in order to pay taxes, get a driver's license or plates for your car. Let's say it is an ID requirement because there are so many known terrorist entering this country. All these things sounds like great ideas to me. But is it fiction or non-fiction? Is it something to think about in the future or you better be thinking about it now.
Think about it, in ways it could make your life easier. Like that movie with Tom Cruse "Minority Report", you could walk into Dick's or Dillards and they would know exactly what you bought last and if you came back for the matching pants. Wouldn't getting your driver's license renewed be so much simpler instead of getting so much more complicated! Be ready with your state issued birth certificate (a hospital copy of your birth certificate will not be accepted - there has been too many stolen from hospitals). So, even if you are not due to renew soon, go ahead and get that birth certificate because the way things are going one day (probably before Bush is out of office) you may need it to buy a gallon of gas, or a burger.
Now, we need a passport to get into Canada and Mexico right? But Mexicans don't need one to get into this country right? I mean they have their own special routes into the country. Like the blue light specials that are only available late at night. I hear it is very popular but hot and crowded, very crowded.
I guess the point that I am trying to make is that things are getting so much more difficult and complicated for us good honest average joes, because the government is trying to "slow down" the illegals and terrorist. It is just too bad that we good guyes seem to always have to suffer two fold and the bad guys probably have already found ways to work around the more complicated new ways. They are always one step ahead, just like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Just like hackers that stay ahead of all the new spyware software. I think we all need chips!
Chips and salsa to go along with that Mexican beer I'm about to have. Pass me the chips please. And ponder this: Do you know where your birth certificate is? You better if you want to drive! Here's to you!
