“american people have to learn that it’s not your belief that makes you what you are.”
— giovanni telling it like it is. we’ve been talking about the fort hood shooting. i’m on edge. being at work w/ a bunch of conservative women that know nothing about what happened but are more then willing to call hasan a terrorist is the last place i wanted to be this morning. it’s a reminder how stuck we are in this country. how we can’t accept that muslim doesn’t mean terrorist. that maybe this was just a scared man who had tried, legally, to get out of a situation where he was harassed for his beliefs and just snapped. a man that instead of killing himself, like so many have, to get out of being deployed, turned his gun at the people who had harassed him(not literally per se, but the system that had not protected him from this harassment). but when it boils down to it, we don’t have enough FACTS here to say what happened. and the descriptions of him as a person are contradictory. so who are we even to believe. i’m just really sad. when i think we might be getting to a better place w/ our ability, as a country, to accept that people’s beliefs are not what define them, something like this happens and we are thrown back to right after september 11th. back to a racism that people don’t seem to be as bothered by. it’s scary and depressing and incredibly frustrating. and i have no idea how to help to stop it from happening.

Billy Ocean, “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going”

Just so we’re all clear on things: As far as I’m concerned, the world would be a better place if every movie ever were a Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner vehicle.

I listened to this twice this morning.

i love me some billy ocean. but question. is that the dude from def leopard singing w/ him at the end? and maybe the beginning?

I’m not a fatalist….well, i wasn’t. but when you get your hours cut and your husband gets contacted by 4 different companies in the uk about possible jobs and/or interview arrangements all in the same day, a girl could change her mind about fate. i’ve got my fingers crossed that the decision about moving will be made for us…my tum is in knots waiting for something else to make a decisions like this for me though. and maybe i’m wrong. maybe this is all just coincidence and i’m just a big dummy….though i guess being a dummy and fate aren’t mutually exclusive of one another. so i’ll just wait and see how this all plays out. right now i have my fingers crossed for the uk.

well. friday we got all gooey and married each other. it wasn’t a perfect day. our friends that were supposed to be there missed their flight and then the next plane they got on was broken. it was our own little 2012. but the judge was sweet and it was a lot of fun. when jami and daniele finally made it we had a great 11 hours w/ them. and now that the weekend of mini-mooning is over we can go back to life completely unchanged b/c that wedding was so quick there is no way it was real.

think about us tomorrow at 2:50 eastern standard time. we will be thinking about how weird it is that we turned japanese and ended up marrying cats instead of each other.
