Not as crazy tonight
MY parents and I are having a major disagreement. They believe that for a while I should do this new job and then fly on the weekends. At first I thought they were just kidding but today I realized that they were serious. I tried to explain that first of all it would be hard for me to make my schedule work so I could fly something just on Saturdays and Sundays because those types of trips are pretty senior because working mother’s like working those days so that the father or whomever can watch the kids. I could hold trips that left on Friday and came back Sunday but what about my real job I think they want me to be there on Friday. I think part of the problem is that my parents think that being flight attendant suites me. They’re always telling me how I don’t like going to work everyday and how I don’t like the mundane. They don’t understand that this life has become mundane to me. Yes I realize that there’s going to be days when I’m not going to go to work. There’s going to be days when I’m just praying for 5 pm to come but hello that’s like 90% of America. I’m trying not to get upset with them because they mean well and they’re looking out for me. I appreciate it but it makes me feel like they think I can’t do anything but be a flight attendant.
Ok new subject. I was watching this program today about Black people on television. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve really come since the early 30’s and 40’s but also in some ways how far we need to go. There are times when I think or I try to think that race really doesn’t matter anymore but then I read articles like this and it hurts my heart. Even if I could afford I will never buy Prada. In all honesty I’m not even sure if they make stuff for guys but come on we have to get with it. It’s not about being Black it’s about representing the people of this country and the world.
Speaking of biases I was talking to a friend of mine today. He is a new Log Cabin member. JAB and I get along with his partner better than this guy and it’s not because he’s a Republican, it’s because he tends to speak at some point when someone says let’s just agree to disagree he never does it. I really mean at times his partner has to verbally tell him to move on. We started talking about this whole scandal with Jeff Gallon . I told my friend that he was a hypocrite. I’ve read some of his writing about Gay marriage and he to me seemed to have a dislike for Gay people. But guess what, his alias owns a whole bunch of domain names such as jeffgannon.com, Hotmilitarystud.com, Militaryescorts.com, Militaryescortsm4m.com. Sounds pretty gay to me. You know what I can get past the whole thing with him being planted in the White press core. I don’t trust this Whitehouse very much anyway but I don’t like hypocrites. Of course my friend believes that this is just a smear by the left wing press and that they have “ruined” his good name. Ok I can’t even go there. I try so hard to under Gay republicans but I just can’t. I consider myself open but they can never tell me how they can reconcile the Republican’s dismal record on human rights with being a minority. I’m trying so hard to be more open. I really am but I just can’t see his point of view. Oh well, since we’re all going out to dinner tomorrow night it’s better that we got the conversation out today as opposed to boring JAB and the other guy.
