Quite frankly, I always seem to miss “World AIDS day” every year. Not that I think AIDS awareness is unimportant (quite the contrary). It just seemed so “trendy” and “the thing to do” with bloggers back then. Now that the posts have dwindled down on the web… I think I can be my usual “untrendy” self and make a mention as the message of awareness and debunking the myths and stigmas needs to be circulated.

Billy The Kid rides again
An interesting article caught my eye tonight:
Billy the Kid gets a lawyer – 122 years after shootout, attorney to gather information for a pardon
Well, like any good Generation X’er, of COURSE I saw Young Guns I & II. They rocked! What was unknown to me, until this article, that there’s been this heated debate down in New Mexico since the summer to exhume his remains (as well as his mother’s) for DNA testing to determine if he was indeed William H. Bonney and gunned down by Pat Garrett as legend claims.
Among the many people vehemently opposed to this is the Billy The Kid Historic Preservation Society.
We all love a good “anti-hero”. We love it even more when they get away and thumb their nose at society and go to that la-la land where we sent Elvis, Bruce Lee, Jim Morrison and every other legend when we can’t accept their deaths.

The vast center wing conspiracy
One thing I really pride myself on, in the fact that I’ve gotten smacked down by both sides of the political spectrum.
Bleeding Heart Liberals make me puke.
Brownshirt Neo Conservatives make me laugh.
To me, they’re both the same. They’re unrealistically extreme. Detatched FROM any form of reality that I know of. They want to hang a label on you if you disagree with them. They hang on their party’s core beliefs even when it’s clear as day that they’re wrong in a particular issue.
They try to silence you rather than address the issue you brought up.
I’ve heard arguments that the President is not to blame for the current economic conditions, yet we all can look on the Carter years with disgust for the same reasons.
Can’t we all just agree that some people just sucked as Presidents?
I liked Reagan *AND* I liked Clinton. I believe a large portion of their success was the fact that they had a legistlative branch which was dominated by a different party to answer to.
Balance, people.
Do you see the point I’m driving at?

Happy Thanksgiving!
While it’s largely a American holiday filled with pecan pie, turkey, stuffing, pecan pie, MACY*S parade, ushering in Santa Claus and of course… pecan pie.
I still want to wish all of my good friends around the world a great day, with good food, friends and family. Take the time out to appreciate and give thanks for what you have, rather than what focus on what you don’t have.
You’re more blessed than you realize.
