Apparently it's ok to deny a person equal rights if you let the people vote on it. Despite the fact that the constitution says that "all men are created equal." I mean, it can't get any clearer than that.

Apparently I didn't get the memo and Maine did?? Maine, you disappoint me. Please separate yourself from the States and go drift off into the Northern Atlantic and freeze your bums off...because you don't deserve equal rights either.

Marriage is Love and is for EVERYONE

Marriage is love.

Today I found out about some very interesting information concerning my ancestors. One of them was a spy during the Revolutionary War!! Whoa! That is too cool! I also found out that the ancestors in question are proven to have served in the Revolutionary War and now all I have to do is prove that I am related to them. I don't think this will be much problem since my father had already done majority of the work for the past couple of decades. I am just so excited that we have some new information! I forwarded the information to my father and now he's getting excited as well. To some this may sound cheesy but to us it means everything. Family history is a big part of who we are, where we came from, and more. Plus, I enjoy knowing our past. Hopefully I can pass then down to further Gillis generations.

This has gone faster than I thought it would. I am just so excited now I can barely contain myself!! ^_^

Today I plan on going to see George Washington's Headquarters in Morristown, NJ. I don't know what to expect but I will be bringing my camera along for what I hope to be some very interesting photos.

If you are suffering from this bad economy, then get smart. It's so simple a donkey could do this.

Have a kid in diapers? Get rid of those disposable ones that are destroying the planet and cost a million bucks and use cloth diapers instead. You aren't too good to clean up poop or else you wouldn't have kids in the first place. So stop your whining and get the cloth diapers. They last longer (can be used over and over again, duh) and are much more cost effective than Huggies.

You really don't need that cell phone. Or Cable. Or internet. Or anything that doesn't help you survive. What you do need is food, water, and clothing if you live in a place where temperatures are an issue (theoretically if you live in a warm place with adequate shade, you don't actually NEED that much clothing to survive. I'm not saying go naked, I'm just stating the obvious). People tend to confuse the WANTS as NEEDS when in reality it's just luxuries. There were many times when my dad had to cut off the phone (land line of course cause cell phones were for the rich and famous) and the TV. We went with the basic necessities until we could afford the luxuries again. Get Smart and spend your money wisely!

I know times are tough for some people and I'm seeing/reading/hearing all these people complaining about not having enough diapers and needing more clothes. Well, look at what you've got and budget before you start whining like little babies. Find a way to survive!!! Think! Do you really need that Slap chop? NO! Do you really need to be ordering take-out while at work? HELL NO! Bring your own damn lunch! Save a buck now and trust me, once things start picking up you'll realize how unnecessary those luxury items are really.


I blame the 700 club for this rant. They piss me off every time I see that show and the nonsense that they promote (and I'm not talking about the religion aspect of it either).

I finally figured out why my photos never turn out the way that I see them! It's because I don't have any filters to balance out the colors and light! D'oh! Why hadn't I figured this out before?! I was going through my B&H Photo magazine and came to the page that sells filters. In it they give descriptions of what EACH FILTER DOES! Yes!!! Now I know what I need to do! Monday I think I will take a trip to the Big Tall City and head on over to B&H for some camera shopping fun!!

Here are a few photos from yesterday's adventure. Keep in mind, I took these without the filters. Just imagine how much better they would be if I had the right filter on!

You must go here to see the photos. Xanga will not let me upload them so I had to do it here.

I have a problem with stupid people. I've had this problem since I was a child. I remember getting so angry at those who were just too stupid to even know which way is up! I'm not talkin about ignorance either; I do know the difference. What bothers me most is that these people don't want to learn the truth. They don't want to think for themselves. This scares me most of all.


These are the same people who say that me calling them stupid "invalidates" my arguement yet they and those they get their information from are constantly calling myself and others like me "stupid" and "pinheads."


I guess if a free thinking woman says it, then she has no arguement but if a stupid white man says it then it must be true.
