My unicorn is better than your rhinocerous!

Okay, I love to watch cartoons. I play video games. I still sleep with a teddy bear. I like to do cartwheels. I still laugh at stupid jokes or innuendos. I try to play with all the toys in the toystore. You can't take me anywhere near a candystore. I love to jump around and dance crazy to random songs that come on the radio. I wear novelty jewelry. I get giddy excited when someone points out something that I used to play with when I was a child. Childish you call me? Well I would also like to point out to you that I raise to small children. I make sure my bills are paid. I clean house. I make sure my family is taken care of. I listen to everyone's problems. I give advice when asked. I take an interest in current events and politics. I am very passionate about certain things. The thing is I may act like a child sometimes, but there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion. I know when I have to act like an adult and when it is okay to act like a child. There is a happy balance in my life. That is the key to a happy life. In my opinion anyway. The key to the happy balance is to know what each situation calls for. You don't have to act like an adult all the time. That would lead for a very dull life. Know when to laugh and have a good time and know when to put your big girl panties on and deal with it. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you are mad at someone tell them but also know when to bite your tongue (something I am guilty of not doing). I would rather someone be honest with me and tell me that they are not happy with me then go on making me think that nothing is wrong. I especially hate it when someone is mad at me, I know they are mad at me and they are not "adult" enough to tell me what is going on. Just tell me and then maybe we can come to an understanding. We are bound to have disagreements, as every relationship (plutonic or romantic, friend, family, or significant other) does. The question is can we express our disagreement with civility, understand where the other person is coming from, and get on with our lives? If we can't then that is when I will tell you that you need to grow up. I am more than willing to tell someone I understand where they are coming from but respectfully disagree with them than to just outright say they are wrong and ensue in name calling and the likes. No matter the issue. If you are willing to see where I am coming from then I will treat you with the same respect. There is nothing wrong with respectfully disagreeing. The problem lies when you disagree with someone and can not respectfully express yourself. If you refuse to listen to reason and commence to name calling, the likelyhood of getting the other person to understand your point of view is not very high. Not every person can agree with everyone all the time, no matter how close they are. We will take for instance one of the hot-button issues facing many people across the globe today. Homosexual marriage. I for one am in favor of it. Telling homosexual individuals that they can not marry is like saying they should be considered not only second-class citizens but somehow sub-human. Many of the arguments opposing gay marriage are ludicrous at best. Take for instance the argument stating that it is a choice to be homosexual rather than it is something that cannot be controlled. Give me one credible reason that someone would choose to be homosexual? Who in thier right mind would choose to be ostracized the way that homosexuals have been? If it were a choice then "teaching" them to be heterosexual would work. Newsflash, it does not work and never has. Anyone who says it has worked is not only naive but lying to themselves and everyone around them. Many of those against gay marriage, refuse to listen to reason and want to shove thier beliefs on other individuals. They are the ones that expect everyone to be just as they are. Last time I checked Hitler and his cookie-cutter beliefs died in WWII. Now there are many that oppose gay marriage that I can respectfully disagree with and we go on about our lives with that understanding. Then there are those that try tooth and nail to get me to beleive their way no matter how ridiculous their reasoning is. I have a secret to tell you. It is not going to work. Not one single person can give me a compelling enough argument to change my mind, and I have heard them all. I shoot down every argument ever given on the matter and have even sent a few people away with their minds changed. Some people even start questioning everything they were ever told or thought. Do not come to me and tell me that I am wrong, give a weak argument and then get pissed at me for not agreeing with you, because you will only be disappointed. Try and get a rile out of me on the matter and I will just tell you to grow up and then walk away. I might even go celebrate at the local gay bar! A homosexual person is just that, a person! If you don't like who they love then get over it. It is actually none of your fucking business. I know, you think you have a right to control what every person does but in actuality you don't. So the moral of the story is know when it is okay to act childish and know when to grow the fuck up!
