Awesome.
So I’ve been thinking lately about my “love life” or whatever else I can call it that doesn’t sound as stupid as “love life”. I’m realizing more and more that I have attachment issues. It’s no secret that I am fairly liberated sexually, but my problem is that if I have feelings for someone, I’m less willing to sleep with them. And I don’t really know why. Mostly because of some sort of antiquated conditioning that a relationship dare not be based on sex, I’d assume. Whatever. Anyway. I was looking at a picture of someone I had hooked up with in the past who I got very emotionally attached to. He lives in Australia (Melbourne) so nothing will ever happen between us but nonetheless we talk and flirt all the time and talk about couple things. He was making out with some other dude and I got jealous. I’m so mad at myself about it. Then I got to thinking about it. I do this all the time.

oh my god
i am screaming in this hotel room. ryan is giving me looks, even though we both have earphones in.
I can’t stop the water coming out of my eyes!
watching Clint Eastwood now
I feel terrible for him. Like, this is physically painful. His retirement savings were all in subprime mortgage-backed bonds and he needed the cash and he feels just as embarrassed about this whole arguing-with-a-chair thing as everyone watching him. Later this evening he’s going to go home and sit in the dark with a blanket covering his head and body and eat a can of tuna while crying. Oh goodness I can’t watch anymore.
This is too perfect. I could only watch like two minutes; it was too painful, even before the chair.
Delegate spars with Ravens linebacker over same-sex marriage →
thedailyrecord.com
A Baltimore County lawmaker wants a Baltimore Ravens linebacker to sack his public support for gay marriage.
Ravens linebacker and special teams ace Brendon Ayanbadejo is offering up two tickets to the teams’ season opener to someone who donates to a group supporting Maryland’s same-sex marriage law. The law was petitioned to referendum by opponents, and voters will decide same-sex marriage’s fate on Nov. 6.
Del. Emmett C. Burns Jr., D-Baltimore County, has a problem with Ayanbadejo’s involvement with the campaign.
In a letter to Ravens owners Steve Bisciotti, Burns wrote it was “inconceivable” that a Ravens player would “publicly endorse same-sex marriage.” Burns said many of his constituents are “appalled and aghast that a member of the Ravens football team would step into this controversial divide and try to sway public opinion one way or the other.”
“I believe Mr. Ayanbadejo should concentrate on football and steer clear of dividing the fan base,” Burns wrote. “I am requesting that you take the necessary action, as national football franchise owner, to inhibit such expressions from your employee.”
Fuck this guy too.
Seriously, Baltimore? Donating to MDers for Marriage Equality again right now because of this.
Fuck Mitt Romney.
Anyone who runs for President and tells you that they’re not running because they WANT to be President, but rather because they know they’d be better than the current office holder, is a dirty liar.
Oh Mitt, saying that the best feeling I had about Obama was when I voted for him.
The best feeling I had about Obama was when he signed a law expanding health care coverage to millions of Americans.
The best feeling I had about Obama was when he helped make sure that everyone brave enough to serve in the military can do so openly.
The best feeling I had about Obama was when he said that everyone should be able to marry whomever they love.
I barely remember the act of voting for him now.
