A great suggestion for Arizona from my roommate.

So we were discussing politics tonight sitting around the house and my Roommate Fox came up with a wonderful idea to help the state of Arizona with their illegal immigrant problem they are working so hard to root out. So rather than making anyone who is brownish have to prove they are legally here in the country, the state should just have them instead wear something to identify themselves so they can be rounded up, like gold stars (I suggested golden sombrero's but she thought that was ethnically stereotyping and stars are easier to make to save the states money). And then when a cop sees one of these people with the gold star on their clothing they can be arrested and sent to "Concentrate on getting you green card or deported camps" granted thats a long name and may need to be shortened down some how.

BTW this is satire... If you didn't know it was satire, you may want to take a long hard look at yourself. Just calling it how I see it.

Valentines Day

When it comes to holidays I don't usually run into the same problems many I know do. I have no problems with Christmas, for me it has always been about family and friends so as long as I'm not stranded away from them I am usually fine. New years is a time for reflection and usually don't have much problem looking forward and keeping a positive outlook. I LOVE Halloween of course, it will always be my favorite holiday. The rest are just kind of are there but the one that always gets me is Valentines day. I have NEVER been in a relationship as valentines day rolls around due to my luck and always dread it. I know I am a lucky person, I have amazing friends, I do have people who love me as a friend, I have amazing family as well. But Valentines day still upsets me because it is all about that other kind of love. That kind where you have a special person that is just for you, that you can truly be open with and go to bed with every night and wake up next to them in the morning, something I want unsurprisingly very badly but am not very good at getting due to shyness and probably hundreds of other reasons. And even if I do someday find a boyfriend who could be more than just a boyfriend I will have to deal with the hurt of not being able to get legaly married which in it self to me twists the knife almost as much as being romantically alone.
All of it turns into bad ineffectiveness and I don't seem to be able to find a way to turn it toward the positive and try and make the glass half full. I am doing my best to not be snarky and grumpy during this holiday because I know my problem is jealousy; to those who are all happy smiles and giggles with their significant others, I am very happy for them and I feel terrible that right now the ugly green monster rears its head when I'm around them and gets snippish. I write this to get a little of the emotions out that I am feeling and to put it into words also helps me think about it. For anyone who reads this if your in a relationship I am very happy for you and hope that you enjoy your special day as a couple to the fullest extent because if I had someone to spoil on valentines day... well they would be well spoiled. And if your single on valentines day, I know your pain.
