My husband has always been, as I say, a "manly man". He would drink beer, cuss, do stupid crap with 'the guys' and wasn't about to associate with the 'homos'. He has held that stance for a long time. Oh, he doesn't drink beer anymore and rarely does stupid crap with 'the guys' - he's matured. But it wasn't until this weekend that I pronounce him EVOLVED.
I informed him of New York's voting to legalize same sex marriage and he said, "Good for them." Now 14 years ago I would have fallen over from shock. Hell, 3 years ago I would have! But see, he's a changed man and all it really took was two girls and a baby. :)
My friend Erin moved near us and I wanted him and my kids to get to know her and her family. She and her partner Lisa moved just about 8 minutes from us and they brought with them their darling baby. He was hesitant at first, but the baby won him over first and now he just loves the girls. They've opened his eyes to the fact that they are just as in love as we are and it's a shame that they can't legalize it and have those little extras like shared health insurance and both be legal parents to the baby.
I pronounce my man EVOLVED and it made me fall even more in love with him. Oh happy day!

Bad Zombie!
Bloggers note: the phrases "Jon Doe" and "JD" are because you can't just go posting people's names on blogs when you want to say truthful things about them. Just isn't done, you know....
Why do people always think that they can make things better for themselves by throwing innocent people under the bus?
I had a friend...well, I was wrong. I didn't have a friend. I had an acquaintance who led me to believe that we were friends. We're going to call this friend Jon Doe. I did everything in my power to help Jon Doe and gave JD advice on how NOT to screw up and end up somewhere they didn't want to be. Did JD listen? Absolutely not. I wasn't surprised over that part. People tend to ask for advice and never take it because they think they know more that the person they asked for advice. They generally don't. Which is why they are asking for advice.
What did the Jon Doe do? JD did something illegal and got into trouble for it. I was still willing to support and defend JD. So I convinced people to go a little easy on JD on MY WORD. Yes, that is a wonderful thing to be able to do for someone. However, after I did that, JD turned around and told the people that trusted MY WORD that I was doing illegal things. Perhaps JD thought that it was going to help keep JD's own stuff in order and out of trouble by lying. I can't claim to know anyone else's thoughts....but it sounds right to me. Did it work? Not really. Those involved are now sorry that they helped out JD. Will any of them ever help Jon Doe again? Nope, never.
The really sad part? Jon Doe is in the process of doing the same thing to other people and I can't stop JD or help the people JD is hurting. Why you ask? Because apparently Jon Doe is an artist, the people involved think JD is amazing and selfless and a victim. The only victims here are the ones falling for Jon Doe's line of crap. The world is a sad, sad place sometimes. One bad zombie can spoil it for everyone.
