Just because

I just thought I'd write so all my devoted fans (as if; sometimes I think I'm just talking to myself) aren't too disappointed.

I found the coolest thing today...

I found the most interesting website today. Well not as much as found, but looked over one of my friends' shoulders and noted the site name and URL. The site is http://www.nationstates.net. It is a simulation site where you are in charge of a country and you get to decide the politics and location of your country as well as its flag. It's really cool.

You should see this...

I have recently joined the contributors of a blog about a beautiful French actor. If you want to look it up the title is: Gaspard Ulliel, which is the actor's name just in case you're wondering. Comment on the blog if you care at all.

Gaspard Ulliel

My latest and only actor obsession: Gaspard Ulliel. Gotta love those young French actors. Plus he's only three and a half years older than I am. I hope he becomes one of the defining actors of my generation. Anyway here is a list of websites with his picture on them:

Type in his name where it says "search" or something... on the left side of the page.

For all the sites in French you can use an online translator to get a rough translation. The one I used and which I thought was quite good (I can only speak a little of another language and that's Japanese, so I could be totally off):

In my next post, which will be posted only a short time after this one I will post my favorite pictures of him.

This guy has it right...

To social liberals in the Seattle-area: If you haven't read this article you should. This man hit the gay marriage nail squarely on the head. His name is Ryan Blethern and this is the link to his editorial on the issue in the Seattle Times: http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=ryan03&date=20060203&query=The+generational+disconnect+on+homosexual+rights. There is much more good stuff than what is in the following excerpt.

Here is an excerpt:

"Leaders of the fight against civil rights need to give up their crusade. Their notions of sin and sexuality belong in another era, to decades past when women could not vote, black people drank from designated fountains and gays and lesbians were beaten into false lives.... One of the reasons used to try to tank any civil rights aimed at gays and lesbians is the claim that those rights will lead to same-sex marriage. On this point, the opposition is correct. Thank goodness. (Before moving on, let's drop the labels. The weddings I attend this summer will not be called "heterosexual" weddings and the people involved will not be in "hetero-marriages." So let's not label marriage as gay. Call it what it is: marriage)."
