Debate:
How can Congress really be forced to vote on the issue of gay marriage? Shouldn’t the very institution of marriage be sacred - even if it’s not in a church? I feel that years from now, people will look at this much the same way as people look at the banning of interracial marriages. They will be shocked and ashamed of it and wonder why, with so much ugliness in the world, that people chose to argue about another human being’s right to happiness. Really, aren’t there more pressing matters for Congress to be addressing - say perhaps Haditha, or the status and unstable nature of Iraq in general? Where are our MORALS there?!?

We’ve all said it before, but I’ll say it again…the DC dating scene blows. I have tons of gorgeous, skinny, smart, laidback and cool girl friends that are single, and people ask why. Why? The guys in DC (with exceptions) are all some balding beta males who believe that they all deserve to date 10’s…but even worse are the girls (with exceptions) that are all pushy bitches who think that they are hot shit and deserve perfect rich men. Then these girls are bitchy to the beta males, and therefore, nobody gets laid.

I got news for you ladies though…unless you are of the 10% of the population on the Maxim Hot 100 list, then get it together because you are likely whiny, needy, insecure, unintelligent, and worst of all…average looking. What makes everyone around here think that they deserve Brad Pitt or Eva Longoria? Because you work for a Congressman, making copies and running reports? Oh, it’s because you work for a lobbyist and push around those people who make copies and run reports. Or maybe you’re the lawyer who ties them all together.

All in all, DC has a few select people who deserve to be at the top of the dating food chain, but for the rest of the city…come on. Give it up. Come down from the power trip and knock the supermodel/Prince Charming off the pedestal and join the rest of the world in reality, because DC is no LA. This is West Wing, not Melrose Place.

People, is this really fashion? Would you spend money on it? *shudder* It’s from Nordstrom’s for the love of God…

I went to the gym tonight and it was a very sad state of affairs. However, I feel a little better knowing I at least pretended to do something. Hopefully I’ll get back in a routine again and get it together for real. Speaking of working out, my roomie ran a 10K this weekend! YAAAY roomie!!!! She even kicked her boyfriend’s ass (shhh don’t tell). Hehe.

Debate:
My trip to the lawyer leaves me with a bill for $900. Hmm…charge $900 and pay it off, or risk getting my license revoked or going to jail? I’ll take increase in debt for $900, Alex. Is getting a lawyer worth it in my case? I think so…

Discuss:
Why is it that the days you have “off” from work are usually the busiest? I wasn’t feeling well this morning, so I took the day off since I had to leave early anyway to go to the lawyer’s office. Well, damn if I didn’t work my ass off anyway!

Debate:
Other than the obvious point that I would get to mold young minds…damn why didn’t I become a teacher? This working 8-10 hour days (or more) is shit man. Summers off is the way to go. Or either that become an executive so high up that nobody gives two shits if you spend all your time golfing and away on “business” and out to 3 hour lunches. How come more people don’t choose to become teachers, other than the obvious (and unfortunate) pay disparity?

Discuss:
Does anyone have any good tips for moving? I think I’m pretty good at it, being a military brat and all. I can pack and unpack like a pro, but hey…even pros miss things.
