And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Obama Sign Thief

I'm not sure if I ever shared this story with my BLADE 7184 readers, but now is as good a time as any.  My friend Guillermo text me last night, and sent me this lovely picture. LOL.  
The Reason for my laughter is because in 2008, when Barack Obama was running for President, Ryan and I posted 2 Obama signs on our yard.  In the middle of the night someone stole them, destroyed them or whatever the hell they did with them.  Needless to say, I was pissed!  Yeah, yeah, they're just signs, but it was our yard and our property.

I went on Ebay and bought 100 or so in a package and for the next several weeks, every time a sign was stolen, I'd place a new one on the yard the next day.  It was getting so ridiculous that the moment we left for work, they disappeared.  

So one night I hid in my car with a video camera and watched as a car slowly drove by.   A passenger (who of course happened to be white - probably a teabagger) started to creep out of the car, when they spotted me.  They quickly made the corner and sped off.

Let's just say, our signs were never stolen again.  That was four years ago, now it's 2012 and the Tea Party has dwindled away.  Maybe there's hope yet. LOL.

Can't wait to put out more signs again this year, or we can just donate. Either way we gotta help Obama. We just can't let him down.
