A little dissapointed...okay, a lot dissapointed!

I think I've had about a thousand people ask me if I have read the Twilight series books. In fact someone asked me today. I just told her that I never even finished the first book. It's not that I didn't like it or anything, it's just that my life is not real condusive to causual reading right now. I spend all day chasing my two, wild boys around that once they are in bed I'm as good as useless. Every now I unwind by watching mindless crud on the boob tube. The other night I turned on Jay and saw that his first guest was Ellen. I think Ellen is hilarious. Have you ever watched her show? It's full of random this's and that's. I have that same personality and find radomness quite entertaining. At any rate, Jay started interviewing her and toward the end of her interview they began talking about her recent marriage. Then she, of course, made a plug about the upcoming vote on Proposition 8. She said something like this, vote no because voting yes promotes hate. That comment has been on my mind ever since. I really don't like that comment because if I lived in CA I would vote yes, and not because of hate, but because of the sacred nature of marriage. I am so sad. What is this world coming to? (An end I think.)
