I’m Back, For Now At Least
It’s been a couple of months since I’ve posted an entry here. Honestly I was getting about as tired of explaining that I was overwhelmed by work, and thus, unable to blog consistently, as I was from being overwhelmed by work. Beyond that, I kinda ran outta gas. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything else to say because this was never about a “message.” I just lost the motivation to say it, here anyway. As it is I’m going to begin vlogging as opposed to blogging.
I haven’t stopped listening, watching, hearing, feeling, believing, laughing, disbelieving, reflecting, thinking or rethinking since March.
For example, I can say now and without reservation that as regards gay marriage I had it wrong. I came across an article last week posted on The New Republic (I’ll link it here later) that completely shut down all of the arguments I’ve heard (and offered) against gay marriage. I’m all for having the conviction of my beliefs, but for me to remain opposed to gay marriage after reading this article and then considering that the question of gay marriage involves human beings who want the same things I want proved too much.
Now, before anyone tries to tell me they told me so or that it’s about time, let’s be clear about something: I continue to believe both that homosexuality is gross and that it isn’t natural. No one has made a strong case to me that the latter isn’t true and there’s no logic that explains gross.
That’s why, despite the fact that the gay marriage movement has gained traction in recent months, it’ll likely never be the case that the majority of Americans support gay marriage (see California as an example). Accept, maybe, but support? I can’t see it.
But gay marriage isn’t what ended my silence, as I’m sure anyone who watched last night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic knows. I told y’all that Kobe Bryant was better than LeBron James, and now I’m hear to rub the faces of those who said otherwise in the manifestation of that reality.
Kobe Bryant is scraping the floor with defenders whilst LeBron James is somewhere pouting. Yes, he’s a loser. And a fraud. And he has no class or heart. Go play in traffic with the argument that he doesn’t have any help. When Kobe didn’t have any help (Chick Atkins? Really?), who cared?
Kobe is going to win another ring and the Finals MVP award in about a week, give or take. The only thing better than that is knowing that the Kobe haters have been proven wrong. Again.
Lakers in six!!!
