Spending time with my family seems better since our group became larger. The moments are nice and I know I will come to appreciate them more one day.
Today I visited the Venitian (sp?) hotel and it is one of the most romantic spots in Vegas I think. I really found myself wanting Viva at my side while we were there.
I have thought about it and if I had to choose between winning 300,000 at the Casino playing slots or $300,000 for selling a screenplay I would rather earn that money with selling one of my ideas. I realized making that money on my own would be so much more meaningful and I would have had a greater role in getting that money instead of relying on it being handed to me out of dumb luck.
While on this trip I have been watching TV news and listening to radio and I guess it never ceases to amaze me how close minded, biggoted, and conservative this country is. I am often agast to hear these views so strongly spewing from the mouths of people. I never understood how people could not comprehend how little understanding they possess or how they appeared unable to venture out of their own views and look at it from anothers perspective.
I am no longer a church going christian and may not really go about studying the bible any longer but what I got out of my time being exposed to "God's Words" is that humans have no right to judge one another in any names not even Gods. God can judge us in his own time and manner. It sort of like children scolding other children when really the children have no place doing so. Or it's like a child hold a sign saying "daddy Bobby broke rule number 2, now you have to punish him because he broke the rule and daddy hates people that break rule number 2" People do so much presuming.
Sometimes I want to say " people, leave the Gay issue alone." It's not really an issue. It's people choosing their own lives. If God thinks it's wrong then let God deal with it. People should stop playing hall monitor.
Funny even when on vacation the reality of human nature and their biggoted and close mindedness can seep in and ruin a vacation.
