If someone have a dispute with you and said they need a few day to think things over and then proceed to remove you from LJ friend, Facebook friend, and such. Is there really any point in even bothering?

This is a behavior expected of a highschool teenager, not someone who's almost 30 and definitely of someone I thought was friend.

It's a shame too because this person is really a nice individual in person, online though he/she can be such a fucking pompous ass.

Quote from the Department of Justice brief regarding DOMA.

"Because DOMA does not restrict any rights that have been recognized as fundamental or rely on any suspect classifications, it need not be reviewed with heightened scrutiny. Properly understood, the right at issue in this case is not a right to marry. After all, the federal government does not, either through DOMA or any other federal statute, issue marriage licenses or determine the standards for who may or may not get married. Indeed, as noted above — and as evidenced by the fact that plaintiffs have married in California — DOMA in no way prohibits same-sex couples from marrying. Instead, the only right at issue in this case is a right to receive certain benefits on the basis of a same-sex marriage. No court has ever found such a right to federal benefits on that basis to be fundamental — in fact, all of the courts that have considered the question have rejected such a claim. (And even if the right at issue in this case were the right to same-sex marriage, current Supreme Court precedent that binds this Court does not recognize such a right under the Constitution.) Likewise, DOMA does not discriminate, or permit the States to discriminate, on the basis of a suspect classification; indeed, the Ninth Circuit has held that sexual orientation is not a suspect classification."


So yeah, federal government does not "determine the standards for who may or may not get married." but it does determine what type of marriage it would accept. So what's really so different between setting standards of marriage vs. being selective in recognize marriage?..... not much different really.

The end of the quote pretty much say gay people cannot be discriminate against, sexual orientation is not a basis for discrimination.

Other part of the Court briefing I can accept and understand the technicality that they are citing but this part..... this part just make me want to punch my monitor. Is this really a statement from the current Administration? Cuz it sound awefully just like the last regime we were in.

need i say more?

And was browsing XKCD and I have to say that this is one of my favorite comic strip because I'm a literal math dork like that.

This week Bleach Manga is sooooo Stupid. The update has been rather stupid but this is the apex of stupid so far. You have to read like about 3 weeks of release to even see something happen but this last chapter...... well it's like the entire freaking chapter is Inoue screaming "NOOOOO" and "What should I do" and repeat that for most of the pages of the release......Scrap that, it isn't LIKE that, it IS that.

So Ophid got me to watch "Love of Siam" with him, it's a Thai teenage romance/drama movie. Damn him for getting me to watch it cuz now I'm totally in love with the music from that movie.

Of course, the song being in Thai give me a huge advantage since I can understand everything and nothing lost in translation :D

Youtube video of it

link to a good version of the song, can't embed it cuz it was disable :(

Oh and of course a song in another language without translation is kinda useless for non thai speaker

This was posted on a reply to Leslie post which people might not notice since it's an older post. So I decide to post it here again.

The brief Version of what's going on via that link is that the Mormon Church encouraged it member to donate money and/or time to the promotion of Prop.8. As a nonprofit org. they are not suppose use their standing/resources to influence legislation.

Church of LDS contribution to Prop.8 query will show you that the Church donate to Protectmarriage.com. The church also practice Tithing which mean that the church contribution is that directly of all its members.

It's one thing to tell your church members to vote yes or no on prop.8. It's another to tell them to donate time and money and use the church fund that come directly from its member via tithe.

So hell yes, I'm supporting the revoke of their tax exemption privilege.

WARNING! Browsing web comic out of boredom could lead to head trauma!!

my head is still hurting from that line....

the saying goes, make a lemonade. But man, sometime life give you bad rotten lemon and life never bother giving you something useful like a garbage can. Now you are stuck with rotten lemon and you just have to suck it up and wait until you find a garbage can to throw it away.

Trust me no one is happy to hold rotten lemon, no matter how short the time span.

MOOOOOOOOO

Hey did you take Spanish in High School? Well now you can put it to use!!!

I have said my mind
Nothing is accomplished from it
If he chose to keep avoiding responsibility
Then so be it

If you are here to ANNOY
And what I said was PETTY
Then have it your way
You are no longer welcome in my company

Yay! only two days until the weekend.

Yes i'm happy because it's the weekend but also because i'm going to a conference this weekend.
The Conf. would be a blast, i hope.

It's NODA regional conf. NODA stand for National Orientation Director Association.

So excited. I can hardly wait.

Eventhough i'm happy i'm sad at the same time.
I won't get to spend time with mark for the whole weekend. and i know some of you would say that i shouldn't complain because we live together but believe me we need to spend time together. We both have been so caught up with school and work that i dont' even remember the last time we went somewhere together. =(

anyway

Hopefully, the conference would be a lot of fun

Hooray!!!

Finally my Laptop it here. I'm sooooooo happy.
I shall declare it my new baby.(next to Keropi and Mark of course, and keropi is not a doll btw)

I'm so happy

Huh... i just got back from work today. We, me and other orientation director, were practicing a skit that we have to do for a conference in a couple of weeks.

Boy! i never imagine that writing a script would be this hard. I'm so glad that i'm a math major and that i would never have to write a play script ever again.

Well since i'm not done yet i guess i have to go back and finish it.
A play script doesn't write itself you know.

Toto

Spring into action that is.

Since I've been such a lazy couch potato for the past year or two i decide to start getting fit again. Not that i needed to loose weight or anything becuase god and everyone know that if i loose anymore weight i will be blown away by the wind in this windy city.

But anyway, So i went for a jog today for about half hour and then it hit me that i'm really out of shape. I mean i get tired after the first 3 mins of the jog. That's pathetic. But anyway i feel good that at least i'm a little more active.

So off to shower i go.

Toto's March 28th resolution - "i will jog at least 3 times a week"

How many people would realize that I add them to my friend list...hmmm?

Yay!!! fianlly Toto have join the LJ community.
As the subject state, this is my first post and hopefully not the last.
