Love is love.

For those who don't know. I support Equal Love, and Equal Marriage. For those who think it is against religion, I point to the fact the you are basing your beliefs written on a book millenia ago. This is a pro-active time. And that is why I love this video. The first rap for Equality. :)

I feel this is a great representation of love. True love at that.

Thank you.

One week after the Boston Marathon Bombs

Ok, so I live in Ipswich Massachusetts. I am a good twenty-five miles north of Boston. But at the same time Boston is my favorite city. Sure that may just be some local homerism, but it's true. Every time I find myself there I am filled with the history and the essence of Massachusetts. I feel that anyone that has been to Fenway Park, the TD Garden, or even Foxboro for a Patriots game, you are a Masshole.

Just over a week ago we were subject to a terrorist attack. I use the word 'terrorist' loosely, though recent news that has come to light has painted these boys as radical Islamist, 'terrorist' can be applied to anyone, domestic or foreign that tries to instill fear into a populace. I don't really know which to call them, but all that matters is that they tried to instill fear into Boston.

Did they steal the sense of Innocence and safety from the public? They did, but only briefly. I say briefly only because a few seconds after the first bomb went off, while everyone had that split second of disorientation, the majority of people shook it off and ran into the smoke and dust not knowing what was going to happen.

Shortly after that the second bomb went off. If the bombs went off together, we probably would be looking at a higher body count. But because the second bomb went off about twelve seconds after the first, most people were scrambling at that point. That in itself may have saved some lives.

But one of the greatest things that I saw from this, after all the repeating of the original few videos is this. After that first bomb went off I saw more people run into the storm than away from it. From first responders that are trained to do so to volunteers that just did as much as they possibly could making tourniquets and splints and literally pinching off arteries to save lives, this city proved that when you tare us down to our essence we are all inherently good. We want to help out fellow man in any way we can. Especially Bostonians.I'd be remiss if I didn't share Stephen Colbert's intro to his show the Tuesday night after the bombing.
