- I'm proud of Maryland students for standing up to the state legislature. Not because I particularly care about the right to screen porn flicks on campus, but because it demonstrates the growing will of our generation. Anytime we 20-somethings overcome apathy to act on our beliefs, it is a big deal. I'm just glad that we can now mobilize around important things, like free speech and Barack Obama's campaign, instead of the latest creepy innovation at Facebook.
- Vermont's legislature overturned the Republican governor's veto on gay marriage and the D.C. council voted unanimously to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. This is beginning to feel like a movement. I skimmed a live Q&A on washingtonpost.com this afternoon between David Catania, a (gay) D.C. council member and some fool from the National Organization for Marriage named "Mr. Brown." Mr. Brown repeatedly dodged very intelligent, lucid questions by quoting nebulous research and repeating, mantra-like, that 30 out of 30 states that have given their citizens a chance to vote on this matter have outlawed gay marriage. Not for long.
- Joe is an uncle (again)! I am really envious that he has a new, little family member living so close by. And I'm obviously excited to meet Robby.
- Bangmerang! I want to watch Hook.
- I'd like the spring sunshine to return.
- Baseball season got underway with the Orioles stomping on the Yankees last night. So as of right now, they are on track to go undefeated... I'm planning on going to the game this Saturday with Sam.
That is about it. I hope to be able to write more in depth thoughts soon.
