Get me
Unless you have been living under a rock you would have heard, seen or read about the Miss California response to Perez Hilton's question on Gay Marriage.
I like many other people find this rather amusing.
Yes I agree with Perez that she is a 'dumb bitch' and should have been far more diplomatic in her answer.
Gay Marriage is a contentious issue, and her response was plain and simple bigoted and showed that she does not represent contemporary American society.
More and more studies are finding that society is coming around to the concept of same sex equality.
Could you imagine if the question asked was instead:
Do you think that black people should have the vote?
Her response would have been of course, that's just ridiculous.
But years ago in America people used religion as a way to stop Black people from voting.
Australia like America is supposedly a secular country, and marriage is a legal definition not a religious definition. It's simple that marriage equality is a civil legal right, not a religious issue.
I was really saddened to read Shannon's post on Gay Marriage, as I was surprised that a young gay man in today's society would not support the equality of recognising same sex relationships.
By for the biggest hurdle that there seems to be in getting the equality is the linkage between marriage and religion.
There is no legal link full stop.
Marriage is pure and simple a legal contract between two people, there are both secular and non secular ceremonies that people undertake, but this does not marry them.
The legal marriage is not conducted until the couple signs a marriage contract which is a legally binding contract.
Personally I think that the hoopla surrounding the Miss California answer is fantastic, and her protestations that she lost because of that awful homosexual asking an unfair question is quite plainly fanciful.
She lost because her answer was a bad answer of a contentious and potentially divisive issue.
She is entitled to her own beliefs, but she should have toned down her Bible Thumping is she wanted to win.

Vermont is the first state in the US to legislatively approve Gay Marriage!
Wow
even with the Governors Veto the bill was resent to the houses and passed!
Congratulations Vermont!
It's the beginning of the landslide, Same Sex Marriage IS an inalienable civil right.

I am badly torn at the moment.
There is a rescue beagle at an animal shelter in Sydney that desperately needs a home.
He is somewhere between 1 - 2 years old, has no microchip and if he does not get a home in the next 24 hours will be euthanized.
I am desperately torn by this, on the one hand I would love another beagle friend for Lucy our beagle, and there is this small rather cute beagle that needs to be rescued from death row.
But there are so many reasons why we can't.
Logistically it would be difficult as we have a two seater car.
There is the question as to how Lucy would cope with a 1 or 2 year old dog coming into her house.
Because it's a rescue dog we have no real idea of what the temperament of the dog is like.
I am so torn by this and have been tossing and turning all damn night.
There are so many reasons not to but there is just one big reason to do.
AAAAAAAArgh!
I have been seriously considering changing the way this site works.
It has been such a long time since I actually added content to the site other than this blog (in fact almost two years).
The site was started so many years ago the purpose of the site is almost non existent or at least my motivation for doing so is at an end really.
What I am planning to do is to transfer the blog and make it the focus of the site.
I will also have the site redesigned so it really is just my blog.
All the content will stay where it is, because there are thousands of pages all listed on the search engines.
I will close the members section as it has no really had any use in years and years and I will no longer accept any new stories etc.
When I started Superdrewby there were literally no websites for gay youth, and online dating was in it's absolute infancy.
But over the last ten years so many millions of websites have sprung up that have taken it's place.
So Superdrewby will just become my personal blog which is what the site has become anyway.
It will take me a few weeks to make all the changes and then I will have to get people to update their links to the blog.
In some ways it will be sad to see it go from it's current form, but websites are not supposed to stay languishing and should change and adapt t the times.
So this is it the final few weeks of Superdrewby.com in it's current form.
For the first weekend in a while I did little to no work.
I decided that after my epic start to the year I would do no work for the weekend.
F*** it was difficult!
I started by watching some cable TV, but there is only so much you can watch before your mind turns to mush.
I read some books, but all I have in the pile of unread books are business related books LOL and they were making me 'think' of things I could do for work so I stopped.
I walked the dog multiple times, I went to the gym and went to out to brunch / lunch drinks etc.
Problem is I enjoy working LOL!
This week is going to be good, have lots to do and lots to achieve.
After my post on setting goals a week or so back, I have set my goals for the business and started to reset my goals too.
There are some specific financial targets in place now for the business and staff have been told and motivated by being offered cash bonuses if we meet our targets.
And you know?
The old adage of unless you have a destination in mind you will be aimless and bored is true, I feel great!
For the last several weeks my body clock has been sending me to bed early and getting up early, way before the sun rises in fact.
My body clock is exceptionally strong and I will wake at the same time day after day, regardless of what time it is. If I want to change my body clock literally the only way is to stay up all night and day and reset it entirely.
The upside of getting up so early in the morning is I get to the office very early and get a couple of hours solid work done before anyone else comes in.
It's also really nice to look out the window and watch the day grow from pitch black to light.
