I found these on the interweb. I thought they were pretty awesome.

Hurt

Sometimes things hurt most not when you least expect it, but when you completely expect it. When you know what the unwanted outcome of something will be, when you completely expect a let down, when you fully anticipate being disappointed, sometimes that hurts more. Because in the end, your dumb little brain holds some hope that maybe something will change or this time will be different.

Costa Rica

Okay. I have a dilemma. There is a study abroad program through the Spanish Department to Costa Rica. I am torn about going. Here are the pros and cons:

PROS:

• It is $2,100 and covers food, housing, excursions and local transportation.
• I would be immersed in the language that I really really want to learn.
• I would also be immersed in the culture that I am studying.
• I could eat real homemade tortillas and beans EVERY DAY. (I can't tell you how much I miss real tortillas)

CONS:

• If I needed to take classes during the summer, I wouldn't be able to.
• I would miss a month's salary.
• I would be gone for my birthday.
• I would be gone for my sister's birthday.
• I would be gone for my one year anniversary with my boyfriend.
• I would be gone for my family reunion, where I get to see cousins that I only see once a year.

Irony.

The church just released a statement in response to an accusation that it is racist. A spokesman stated "The Church's position is clear-we believe all people are God's children and are equal in His eyes and in the church."

My response? OH REALLY?

Okay, I know this article is about racism towards blacks, and I understand the importance of the priesthood being granted to blacks (well, the men, at least). And I don't mean to be THAT person, but I can't help it.

Because I happen to remember this little thing called Proposition 8, and I'm pretty damn sure that saying a certain portion of the population is not allowed to enjoy the right that the majority of the population are allowed, is pretty unequal to me. Saying that all people are equal in the eyes of the church is ridiculous. You OBVIOUSLY do not believe that.

I just hope that one day homophobia will be seen as shameful and bigoted as racism.
Okay, mini-rant over.
