Creative Projects List
I've been feeling a bit un-creative lately. Part of which is because this past month was consumed with organizing a Luau fundraiser for Lindsay. (In which we were able to raise $814.00 for her! check out the blog and photos @ www.cotaforlindsaym.com)
So now that that is over, I do not plan on doing any "big" activities for awhile... hopefully being able to focus some more on my creative side.
Some ideas I want to attempt:
> Design a new website page purely for my photography hobby
> Paint decorations for our new apartment
> Make some vinyl decor for our new apartment
> Draw a picture (haven't done that in a while!)
> Take some new film photos & go develop them
> Do a new digital photoshoot
> And last but not least attempt some resin casting for the first time!
Also, in August I shall be making a cake for Idi's birthday so I should be posting that the early part of August. I think I'll need to attempt making myself a costume for the party as well... wish me luck!!!

Should Same-Sex Couples Be Allowed to Get Married?
What if I was to say that interracial couples could no longer date? What would you say if the state decided that women no longer could have the right to vote? And what would you do if the USA government said that slavery was once again legal?
Chances are you would be appalled, you'd probably raise your voice to whoever was around you, and you may even try to fight it!
So what is it that these three things have in common that would get you in such an uproar? Changing these "norms" would be changing the equality rights we have as USA Citizens. So I ask you yet again, should same-sex couples be allowed to get married?
Denying anyone the right to marriage is unconstitutional. Who are we as individuals to judge a person based on their sexual preference? Who are we to deny a citizen a right? Who are we to discriminate in a way in which our Constitution says we are not allowed?
So God says marriage is between a man and a woman? God tells us we should ban marriages and discriminate? We have a law in this country, written right there in the Constitution in which our nation is based... it is called our FIRST AMENDMENT.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
One of our nations' Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, made this point ever so clear as to state "...Wall of Separation Between Church and State."
We are a nation who was founded on freedom, a nation who is formed by rights. And though in our history we have gotten things wrong at first, as a nation we have come together to make them right. We fought for our country to realize slaves were people too and deserved freedom and rights. We fought for our country to realize women too deserved freedom and rights. We have come to be our country by people of all different ethnicities making the journey from far away lands to immigrate here, and we have given each and everyone of them freedom and rights. So why are we taking a step back? Why are we trying to take away a right? If we let our nation succeed at taking away the right to marriage, what will be next? Will women no longer have a voice? Will the freedom to free speech be taken away? Will the "rich white people" bring back slavery? WHEN WILL IT STOP?

Everyone Should Have a Lindsay!
Do any of you remember in school, or even just growing up, when you would write a word vertical and then use each of the words' letters to describe the word? Well here is a grown-up version of one for my best friend...
Lindsay Dawn Mulic
Is the strongest, most giving person I know.
Needless to say, I would do anything for that girl!
Double lungs is all she is asking for, because
She is a patient of Cystic Fibrosis.
And though she has/is/will go through so much, she stays positive and always wears a smile.
You need to check out her blog and read her story: www.LindsaysLungs.Blogspot.com

Spring Ode by Me
This is my Ode to Spring.
Peaceful weather, sunshine and a fresh breeze.
Beautiful flowers, birds, and newborn offspring.
Not yet too hot, but no more freeze!
My favorite colors shine so bright,
Pastel Purple, Pink, Green, Blue and Yellow.
People gather outside at the park,
And inside Easter decorations are such a delight.
I breathe the fresh air and feel so mellow,
And best of all, when five o'clock comes its still not dark!

~ Valentine's Survey ~
Ok, Since Mike was upset that I took down my Xanga (since he was relying on this survey from 2004)... I decided to help him out with an updated version.
Favorite Jewelery: Rings & Earrings & Necklaces... anything with White Gold and Diamonds (or even Swarovski Crystals!)

The perfect date: I have many ideas of a "perfect" date. But one that sticks out in my mind would be to watch the sunset over the beach. Perferably at an exotic island, like Hawaii or Bahamas.
