Guy in front of me at the courthouse auditorium looked a lot like Judge Reinhold. Apparently, however, Hidalgo County doesn't think that online college courses are exemptable excuses. Because, as the deputy district clerk said, "They can be taken whenever." Wrong, missy. Like all courses, online classes have a time frame for quizzes and tests. Fucking idiots.

Teeth
Horrible dream: I was eating some sort of food substance when my teeth began to crack and fall out. I picked out the shards with my fingers. I know I have terrible teeth - it's no secret - but I hope to at least keep the ones that aren't broken.

Marijuana St. Blues
The problem with today's culture is that the media lies to us. Not news networks, no. That's not the media in question: Television ads are. It's one thing to make a quick buck conning a few stupid people, but to con people who are at their last string in hopes to beat a disease that is slowly killing them is just immoral.
There is a third in this category, however. Public Service Announcements (PSAs) are supposed to be informational and not filled with misinformation, am I right? You wouldn't expect a PSA from the tobacco company stating that their cigarettes are, in fact, good for your health and might even allow you to live longer, would you? No. Plain and simple. So when a government entity allows PSAs filled with misinformation about cannabis usage and its effects, aren't we being a little hypocritical?
In no way am I suggesting that teenagers should be allowed to spark up a joint. Unlike with tobacco and alcohol, the long term effects from cannabis are very low, in fact, healthier (in comparison). I say that the Above the Influence PSAs should be removed from television and the organization behind them should rethink the concept.

Shot
It was suppose to be something exciting yesterday, but it wasn't. Wasn't anyone's fault, really. Jyg was in pain, feeling rather sick and Monica had oral surgery that morning. However, for a birthday, even though it wasn't exciting and I had all this energy that just wasted away, I still had a good time.

I want to write a male response to this
Not against it, no. Merely, writing a response to it from a male's prospective. A homage, if you will.
Fish for Lent
In a place made up mostly of Catholics, one would think that putting up a sign that reads "Fish for Lent" or "Tuna for Lent" would be asinine. Apparently, Subway didn't get that memo, or have any rational people working for them.

Men with Women
El Senor and I were coming home from Art Expressions (in McAllen, TX), when the conversation of relationships came up. In short: We're two men - assholes - who are lucky enough to have two women who love them.

A good teacher
I learned my high school freshmen theatre arts teacher died in a bus accident in Mexico. The news, even though I haven't spoken to him in years - and I'm certain he didn't really care much for me - still depresses me.

Visual Effects
What part of us survived the car crash that was our love? I hear your voice, it sounds only vaguely familiar.

Forgetting the past
How exactly do you want me to forget my past? Photos, like relics in a museum, are just the visual effects. Throwing them away merely erases the evidence, not the memories. I've been to places, seen other people. I cannot live my life apologizing for not "letting go," when I have let go. I am with you: You are the victor. The rest are simple memories. You cannot ask me to erase them.
