Lots of days of truth– I’m really bad about keeping up with this!

Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days.
I’m not a person that can cite music as a way to help me get through bad days. I love music, but I wouldn’t say one particular band has affected me in a certain way. 311 is my all-time favorite artist. They are upbeat and put on great shows (I’ve seen them 6 times). I guess if I’m ever feeling “down” (pun intended!) I could put them on and they would cheer me up.
Day 14 → A hero that has let you down.
Another one I can’t relate to, because I don’t have any heroes. Seriously.
Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
This one is easy– my husband. We’ve been together since 2004. He left Atlanta in January 2006 to work in San Antonio. We kept up a long distance relationship, but I was miserable. I ended up moving out to San Antonio in July 2006. Best decision I ever made!
On a lighter note– chapstick. I NEED it. I have one in my purse, one in the living room, and one in the bedroom.
Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.
Chocolate. I like it, but I could live without it.
Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
I honestly cannot say. I read so many fantastic books for classes during college that may have changed my views, but I could never pinpoint just one.
Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
I am 110% FOR gay marriage. Honestly, I just don’t understand people who can be against gay marriage. Does it affect your life in some way? If your views are religious, are you going to go to hell because someone else marries someone of the same sex? Why should anyone have a say on who someone else marries?
Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
I’ll answer both.
Religion: I personally do not subscribe to any particular religion. I consider myself more or less to be agnostic. I feel that if a person chooses to be a religious person, then that’s their business, just as my choice not to be religious is mine. Religion can be a good and a bad thing (more good than bad). Too many injustices are carried out in the name of religion (see Day 18, for example), but I recognize that it is not the way that every person of a certain religion feels (just as every Muslim is not a terrorist!)
Politics: Eh. I’m so tired of politics. I’m so tired of how people of this country get into such an uproar over politics that they do not agree with. I’m the first to say that I did not agree with 90% of what came out of Dubya’s mouth. I also do not agree with 100% of what Obama says. But god damn, this whole “Tea Party” business is just insane.
