Pretty good final two paragraphs of the judgment:

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization?s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed.

It is so ordered.

That was actually really moving.

I know there's the no-politics rule and everything and hopefully this won't turn into that but the US Supreme Court just dropped an absolute bomb.

I agree about wanting to avoid the 'World News' forum disasters but my personal favourite part of this stuff is just how salty some people have become over this.  The best reaction to me are the people on twitter threatening to move to Canada to get away from Gay Marriage.....whoops.

Some people make me wish the asteroid would get here sooner.

I know more volunteers for the games than people buying tickets to watch events.

Forgot to mention this the other day...I was invited to the opening of Wendel Clark's restaurant in downtown Hamilton a couple of weeks ago.  Wendel was there, and a bunch of local business guys, and I had a great conversation with Steve Staios about sponsorship and the hockey business.

Anyways, Wendel Clark.  What a nice guy.  There he was standing by the bar, getting bombarded for 4 hours by half-drunk (and worse) people wanting selfies and pictures, and smiling and being super friendly the whole time...for 4 friggin hours non-stop.  So my hat's off to you Mr. Clark, you're a real gentleman.

I've been working a lot on trying to improve my songwriting skills in the last couple of years, I can't sing for shit, and I don't know enough about chords and notes, but I can write a lot of lyrics now. I got so excited the other day because I tried writing a famous musician on facebook, and figured she wouldn't answer, because usually they don't, or actually they never do but she answered and we ended up talking for about 15 minutes, and I sent her some of my material, and she helped me out a bit.
