Well, my birthday has come and gone and now I can officially claim to be middle aged. Turned fifty on the twentieth of August and spent most of the day drinking and coughing as I had some bug. Ah well, I will be uploading a few pictures I got over the weekend including my first ever character sheet. Wooo \o/

On a more serious note I have been quietly watching events and I am sad to say that hate stands out like a sore thumb. I know it is something that has been, and will always be, around but I implore you to stop and look at the reasons for the hate. It all boils down to something being different. Something that people think isn't normal and this is not right. Especially when there is no set standards for what normal is supposed to be.

Yeah sounds simple and, well, it is. What is normal?

I have seen people slandered and abused, religions insulted and stereotyped, races looked down upon and even considered for extinction and I have to say that this has never been any type of normal what so ever.

So again. What is normal?

For me, and this is my opinion, being normal is living a comfortable life where you are happy.

Sad isn't it? Where one man's opinion, and a simple one at that, sounds so much better

Now before you throw common sense out the window and try to argue with me think about this. Do you argue because of what someone else thinks and does? Did you personally chose your bias' or did you just jump on the wagon because it sounded like the normal thing to do?

I am not going to say "don't argue" or anything like that but before you decide to speak up ask yourself this...

Would you be happier with your life if you took all that time you wasted on hating someone else's life and used it to improve things for yourself?

Try not to hate others for being who they are, be happy for them, for yourself and for our future.
