Tired. . .
I made the huge mistake of coming home last night and cuddling with Lyndon, which promptly turned into a two-hour nap until 10:00 PM, at which point I woke up and had to battle with the Contract Document. Bah.
Tried to go back to sleep around 2:00 AM, dozed fitfully until 6:00 AM because my arms ached from starting weights again this week (and why I didn't have the common sense to get up and take some ibuprofen, God only knows). Abruptly remembered that the rent check was due before 9:00 AM, so I tossed on some sweats and schlepped down to the rental office with said check, came back home and found email from the Contract Client. Soothed his concerns, went back to bed and woke up when the alarm went off at 9:00 AM with way too little sleep.
And of course this is the day when I get handed projects that need to be done NOW, and the very nice guy on the other side of the cubicle wall still has a doozy of a ENT infection (I'd buy a pair of noise-reducing headphones if I could afford them), and according to the scale in the gym I somehow magically gained three pounds between yesterday and today. Double bah.
I'd stop off and buy ice cream if it wouldn't make me feel so damn guilty. Maybe a small frapp instead. . .
Oh, and in case anyone in the DFW metroplex was wondering, yes, we got hit by The Rain(TM) this afternoon. Completely whited out our western windows -- looked like the building was going through a car wash. Sheesh. And apparently it's now somewhat cooler out there, so I get to find out if I remembered to leave my jacket in the car.
I think I'm looking forward to the weekend. I think.
And yet another commentary on gay marriage
A friend of mine who belongs to a gay sports email board sent me the following:
Paul Cameron, who is regularly cited as an authority by anti-gay bigots, sums up his concerns about homosexuality:
"Untrammeled homosexuality can take over and destroy a social system," says Cameron. "If you isolate sexuality as something solely for one's own personal amusement, and all you want is the most satisfying orgasm you can get- and that is what homosexuality seems to be-then homosexuality seems too powerful to resist. The evidence is that men do a better job on men and women on women, if all you are looking for is orgasm."
So powerful is the allure of gays, Cameron believes, that if society approves that gay people, more and more heterosexuals will be inexorably drawn into homosexuality. "I'm convinced that lesbians are particularly good seducers," says Cameron. "People in homosexuality are incredibly evangelical," he adds, sounding evangelical himself. "It's pure sexuality. It's almost like pure heroin. It's such a rush. They are committed in almost a religious way. And they'll take enormous risks, do anything."
He says that for married men and women, gay sex would be irresistible. "Marital sex tends toward the boring end," he points out. "Generally, it doesn't deliver the kind of sheer sexual pleasure that homosexual sex does." So, Cameron believes, within a few generations homosexuality would become the dominant form of sexual behavior.
So, say, after eleven years of marriage, I should now be hanging out at lesbian bars, right?
Paul, Paul, Paul.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
