Planes, trains, and automobiles

Wheee.......it's gonna be a busy month in August for on the 28th of July, Ash and I will fly all the way to Hawai'i and return on the 7th of August. On the 9th of August, Ash, Sunshine, and I will drive to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to visit my family and return on the 23rd of August. Then on the 24th of August, Sunshine and I will ride the train all the way down to LaLaLand. *thinking* I must be bloody nuts.

Last week Thursday, Edwin had his bachelor party and it all started at Hooters. There was this one cute waitress who could sign. Came to find out that my sister and I used to babysit her and her older sister a long time ago. On Saturday, the 23rd, I had the honor of performing Edwin and Lisa's marriage. It was an experience I will cherish. They're such a rare couple. I felt very honored when they asked me and I was very glad I was able to do this for them.

Facts of life:
11) Seattle's awesome in the summer!
12) We could always learn a lesson or two from each other no matter who we or they are.
13) The world is one big soap opera.
14) Republicans suck.
15) Be gentle with the earth.
16) George W. Bush is the worst president in U.S. history. How he won a 2nd term is beyond me.

I think the trip I'm most excited for is a tossup between Hawai'i and South Dakota (I know y'all are scratching your heads at this one) but, yeah, Hawai'i, I get to spend over a week alone with my love and South Dakota, I get to show my love where I grew up so that she can have a better idea of where I came from. South Dakota's a land where men are men and the buffalo are nervous.

Speaking of marriage, why is it that two men or two women who have been together for so long are not allowed by law to marry each other while I can go to a bar, grab a woman, drive down to Las Vegas, and get married just like that?!?!? Some things just does not make sense! Canada recently became the 4th country to legalize gay marriage. (Way to go, Canada!)

Ok, ok, I'll stop for now.

Enjoy life and live free.

Until next time.
