I'm making an effort to post more

And not just my personal life. I want to blog like a professional; I want to be a social commentator.

Additionally, I'm going to take this opportunity to shamelessly self-promote. In the next week, I'll be starting a prototype blog as a class project; it will be all about cooking on a tight budget. Next month, Backdrop (the magazine I work for) will be launching it's official website. I'll be an official blogger for this site, on the same topic. The first blog will only be active until March. The second will (hopefully) be active for the next year or two. Links TBA.

Now. I was using StumbleUpon today and found this page on gay marriage. Now, I don't think that the government has any right to allow or disallow gay marriage; that decision should be left up to individual religious leaders. But this article cracked me up; bureaucracy at its absolute finest. What is wrong with this country when two loving men are not allowed to remain married (through the state's own mistake, no less), but a man and woman who hate each other have every right to remain together for as long as they wish?

Silly, silly technicalities.
