California Proposition 8 (2008) - Ballotpedia
I love that the smarter people get (education wise) the more willing they are to vote no on Prop 8. I’m also pretty surprised on the numbers breakdown comparison of Protestants to Catholics.

Federated Commercials
Anyone growing up in Southern California in the 80’s has to remember the Federated Commericals staring Fred Rated (Shadoe Stevens). This is an awesome montage of many of their commericals. I can’t believe they made over 1000 commercials in 4 years, that’s a lot of production. Shadoe Stevens is a radio icon in SoCal as one of the original DJs for KROQ.
New Car (again), Etc.
So for those that haven’t heard we got a new car. I don’t have any great pictures to show of it yet, I’ll take some this weekend to show it off. We got a 2008 Infiniti G35 Journey Sedan Sport (that’s a mouthful!). The car is just amazing, talk about power, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, 306 HP, V6 with RWD. I absolutely love the car. In addition to all the power it’s great inside, power leather seats, navigation, XM radio, it even has a back up camera! We are really enjoying it.
In addition to that I was able to get Apple to replace my iPhone due to various issues I was having with it crashing, hopefully this will resolve those issues, so far so good! Kelly has to take a trip up to San Francisco so she will be gone Thursday night till Friday night, I’ll miss her.
Other then that most everything else is good. We went to Oak Glen two weekends ago with all my family (parents, sister, brother in law and kids) and picked apples. We brought them home and Kelly cooked an apple pie, while I BBQ’d for everyone. It was nice all hanging out, I’m hoping we can start doing that more often on my side of the family. I did something to my left shoulder on Sunday morning and it’s been very painful when I extend it forward and do other various movements with it, so I’ve had to pull up lame on softball for awhile. If it still feels the same next week I’ll set up a doctors appointment to get it looked at; but as it is right now, I can’t swing a softball bat.
Work is good, very busy lately, but busy is a good thing, especially in this economy! My cousin Tim is getting married this weekend, I’m really happy for him! Next weekend we are going to see The Who!
SNL from Saturday
I’m pissed because it appears I may have missed some of the funniest SNL sketches of the year. Thank good for the internet! Looks like Gov. Palin did a pretty good job being herself, and I love the Marky Mark stuff after last weeks skit from Sandberg.
Vote NO on Prop 8
This video hits dead on why it shouldn’t matter if a man and woman, woman and woman, or a man and man can marry. With a world with so many issues as there already are, is it really right to discriminate a couple that loves one another because they are different then you?
Allowing two people of the same sex isn’t going to affect me in any way shape or form, it won’t make my love for my wife Kelly any less, and it won’t change the direction the world rotates. Children aren’t going to all the sudden be taught that not only can Betty and Ted get married but so can Fred and Ted, or Betty and Bertha. People once were affraid of different races or nationalities getting married, just like they were once affraid of different religions getting married, it’s all the same. It is not our place to place judgement on what is right and wrong. As the famous rapper 2-Pac once said (Doug will love this) “Only God can judge me!”.
2008 Fall TV Season
Let’s see, what have I enjoyed and what have I been disappointed by.
Enjoyed
Chuck - has been great, and is probably a show I look forward to seeing the most. Although I am getting tired of the will-they-or-won’t-they stuff, but Chuck deserves to have a girl like Sarah!
How I Met Your Mother - Got off to a sort of slow start, but they nailed it this week.
Big Band Theory - I don’t like the current outcome of the relationship, honestly they should make Sheldon and the geek girl end up together, they hate enough each other.
Sarah Connor Chronicles - Been decently solid, nothing spectacular, but it’s been fun, too bad the ratings are dropping.
Entourage - Been solid since it started up, haven’t seen this week’s episode yet.
Eureka - Was a good first half of the season, glad to know there will be more episodes in the winter!
Fringe - The best new show of the season. The doctor is hilarious, and I like the content. Pacey even does a good job!
Smallville - I’ve been pretty happy with this, I do miss Lex though. I’m happy they are getting Clark and Lois to like each other now, that means more screen time for Erica Durance! There is talk they might do an season 9…
My Name is Earl - There have been a lot of funny laugh out loud things, but the episodes themselves have just been ok.
The Office - Must see TV at it’s finest, it’s one of the shows I can’t live without. Michael just needs to work it out with the HR girl!
Burn Notice - Just like Eureka, is on it’s mid season break, can’t wait for the winter to get more of the best spy show on TV!
Disappointed
Heroes - I haven’t watched this week’s episode yet, but so far this has been a steaming pile of crap lately, and I’m afraid I might end up dropping off my must watch list.
Hiatus
Pushing Daises - Haven’t watched the recording episodes we have yet.
Can’t Wait Till They Come Back
24 - BRING ME JACK BAUER! It’s been so long, I miss you Jack!
Lost - Is it January yet?
