I’ve become so bored with my job and my life. time to quit and drive to California. whilst posting my trip on YouTube, and having people donate money to help me live my dream. I think by November.

Today, I was asked a direct question and gave a direct answer:
I believe that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.
I hope you’ll take a moment to watch the conversation, consider it, and weigh in yourself on behalf of marriage equality:

I’ve always believed that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. I was reluctant to use the term marriage because of the very powerful traditions it evokes. And I thought civil union laws that conferred legal rights upon gay and lesbian couples were a solution.
But over the course of several years I’ve talked to friends and family about this. I’ve thought about members of my staff in long-term, committed, same-sex relationships who are raising kids together. Through our efforts to end the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, I’ve gotten to know some of the gay and lesbian troops who are serving our country with honor and distinction.
What I’ve come to realize is that for loving, same-sex couples, the denial of marriage equality means that, in their eyes and the eyes of their children, they are still considered less than full citizens.
Even at my own dinner table, when I look at Sasha and Malia, who have friends whose parents are same-sex couples, I know it wouldn’t dawn on them that their friends’ parents should be treated differently.
So I decided it was time to affirm my personal belief that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.
I respect the beliefs of others, and the right of religious institutions to act in accordance with their own doctrines. But I believe that in the eyes of the law, all Americans should be treated equally. And where states enact same-sex marriage, no federal act should invalidate them.
If you agree, you can stand up with me here.
Thank you,
Barack
-it’s nice to see that a president has spoken out directly in favor of something so powerful, I could only imagine the amount of pressure from both side on the issue and I feel that he handled it beyond anyone’s expectations. Every American deserves to be treated equally and it’s about time someone so promising, in a direct position of power voiced his opinions. These are the words of a true American president.
I swear that at some point today I will post a giant ass tl;dr post on my life. I have so much going on I can’t even begin to imagine how it’ll all fit into a post that makes sense. so it’ll just be a bunch of random things in a giant post. I’ll try my best to make it in some order.. idk. on a side note, I wish this day would move already. I’m so tired of being here.
I would love to be living in an apartment with a best friend. I would love to work a 9-5 job, five days a week. I would not mind it. I would love to just come home to someone. The feeling one gets knowing someone is waiting for you and wants you in their presence is fantastic. That feeling…
I wish it were actually this easy. we can put a check mark on the 9-5 job, but aside from that the rest is a stretch from reality. one day, soon. I hope to have my own place. something of mine to take owner ship of. I love the idea of fixing up a house. painting each room. switching out the old wood siding for new. having something worth putting everything into. something that no one could ever take away. something that is mine entirely.
