Aye aye aye...

Sheesh. With my upcoming full time job approaching, life is busy here at work. I'm getting more and more text assignments, and 3D modellings and I'm working with people from different companies. It's best noticed here on Dalif.com with a lack of updates. While I've had several things to write about in the last two weeks, everytime I'd begun a post on here, I'd been disturbed by some real work, and had to abandon it. Because I'm scatterbrained, I tend to forget the funny and insightful comments I wanted to make. Even right now, as I'm writing it, I forget one of the three main issues I wanted to discuss today. 

One was my lack of updates. The second is this whole controversy surrounding Madonna and her tour. I don't get it. I really don't. Perhaps it's because I'm not religious. Not by any means. I've discussed that before back with the Mohammad cartoons. And again with the DaVinci Code. And now the Catholics are up in roars again, because Madonna is seen on a cross in her stage show. What the hell? Why can't they just see past the fact that it's a cross. I'm not really a Madonna fan either, but I mean come on. She's an entertainer ferchrissakes. She's a pop star. So fucking what is she's on a cross? I mean, what difference does it make? But now, the Rev. Don Wildmon is getting his little gang of conservative middle american morale-nazis (The American Family Association) together, to put a stop to a special NBC is planning to show with Madonna, because it includes a controversial number in which Madonna
is seen hanging from a cross with a crown of thorns on her head. The Reverend Don Wildmon is appalled because he thinks she mocks Jesus. Again, I'm not a Madonna fan, but at least she has the guts to speak out about her views on religion and sexualism. She may have done some outrageous things in her past, but at least she's stood by them. Not like snivelling little oh-so-holy Catholics, who pretend they are working for a better America, and that they have the American Families best interest at heart, when all they really want, is personal promotion, getting their own twisted views forced down other people's throats all the while keeping their multiple skeletons in their respective closets. They are all a bunch of god damn (pun intended) hypocrites. Just the name "Family Association of America" gets my blood boiling. I can't stand this total devotion to a cause that will put aside ALL other arguments as blasphemy towards an entity that nobody knows for sure if exists, and a man who lived 2000 years ago. It's fanaticism, and it's not good for a human being to be a fanatic. Nobody is able to control it. And religion, while helping some people, sadly corrupts many others.

I don't remember what the third thing I wanted to write about was. Perhaps it'll turn up soon enough :)

Oh btw, I just remembered one more thing. Just a brief recount of my weekend. Went to my grandma's birthday party. It's an annual thing, but had been moved up one week from all the other years, which meant my grandfather couldn't be there with his wife (grandma and pa has been divorced for 40 years or so, but remain good friends), which was a sad loss, as granddad is always up for some fun and games :) And my uncle couldn't be there either due to a busy work schedule. To top it off, Tessa wasn't with me this year (for obvious reasons) so I couldn't turn to her for support. My mom was there of course, and that was all well, but the missing of the rest of the family meant I was so much more aware of being socialphobic. I think I managed alright through the night, but I'm just so bad a chitchat. I can't focus, so I tend to keep to myself, unless spoken directly to. The table I sat at, which had mom at it as well, was a fairly good table tho, with lots of random and idle chatter, which I always like. Good people there. And I had a talk with Casse over the phone, before I went back to out sleeping quarters where I was lucky enough to catch the second half of Donnie Brasco on telly. It was good to see grandma again, and besides from having to move a lot of heavy furniture (physical labor is never fun, no matter how much sugarcoating to apply), it was a decent trip. Would have been ace with uncle and grandad there as well. But hey, we can't win 'em all, can we? :) And there's always next year!
