Rum Tastes Better In The Afternoon

Yesterday was a great day for me.  I wrote my little synopsis on why gays shouldn't be beaten over the head with shovels... more or less.... It worked!  I had a great debate on Facebook about the pros and cons of gay parents adopting, who should judge whom... it was great!

I don't want to be the spokesperson for gay rights, but I do want it to be talked about.  The best way to make a change for the better is to not be afraid to discuss it.  I hope that the people that read my 'article' talked to their friends about it, and so on and so forth.  These things exist, people!  They aren't going to go away and that's why I will use the bully pulpit of the internet to force my not-so-humble opinions down your throat!  Hell, everyone else does it, why can't I?

I wanted to start this blog for a couple reasons:

1.  I have very strong opinions about serious topics that people often ignore, or won't be truthful.  These opinions are often controversial, but valid nonetheless.
2.  The ability to shroud myself in the anonymity of the internet so I can be as bare-bones about it as possible.
3.  I'm a narcissist with time to kill.

I don't much care if people like my opinions, but I think they will.  In the future of this thing, I will be dead honest about whatever I feel like talking about, and yesterday proved that.  I love doing this, and I will continue doing it!!  I also don't want you to expect that I'll be ranting and raving about something negative everyday... though that is highly likely.

It's Friday.  I've had a very busy day, and I'm on my 2nd celebratory glass of rum and coke.  Maybe Monday I will tell you why it's celebratory.

So have a great weekend.  Tell someone you haven't spoken to in a while that you love them....
Tell someone you haven't seen in a while you miss them....

I got a message yesterday from someone that was really unexpected and it meant the world to me... Sometimes we take our family and friends for granted.  Sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that we forget to acknowledge others.... Don't do that.

I love you, thank you for reading, and I look forward to continuing this thing and getting your feedback on it.

Love,
Your oily neighbor... Nick
