While I was sleeping

Got some much needed sleep last nite. But I'm really weird when it comes to sleep. I have to get a specific amount or I wake up still tired. The right amount for me is somewhere in between 6 to 7 hrs. The 10 hours I received last nite will come in handy at some point, but right now I just want to crawl back into bed and stay there for the rest of the day.

I made some coffee and logged into my twitter. While I was sleeping, another earthquake hit Haiti this morning near Port-a-Prince. The article mentioned that Haitians in the hospitals began getting on their hands and knees, praying for forgiveness, as the aftershock was felt. I suddenly got a case of nausea. If they were Christian, God fearing people, then okay, I understand that. But if they were praying for forgiveness because Pat Robertson said the earthquakes were happening to them as means of punishment, I want to bust into a live taping of the 700 Club, and personally deliver a punch in the face to Pat Robertson. The earthquakes aren't happening because God wanted the Haitian people to remain slaves forever. It's disgusting that anyone would even fathom that idea.

As I was looking over the different tweets discussing the devastation in Haiti, I stumbled upon Perez Hilton's update: "Gavin Newsom Calls Obama's Inaction On Gay Marriage 'Fundamentally Inexcusable' http://bit.ly/78iDml AGREED!!!" Again, a feeling of vomit collecting in my throat came rushing back to me. In the midst of recession, global warming, and now the earthquakes in Haiti, I'm sorry Perez Hilton, Obama has yet to rush to the aid of putting gay marriage at the top of the nation's agenda. Don't get it twisted though, I'm all about some gay marriage. I was one of the only two people who voted for it when I resided in Oklahoma. I highly doubt Obama is ignoring the issue to be a dick to gay people (no pun intended). Give him some time and once we've addressed the other pressing issues, I'm sure he'll do what he can for gay rights.

Sometimes, the ignorance and selfishness of people abounds me.

For those that have the means, you can donate to help Haiti here. I signed up a few days ago to volunteer with the local Salvation Army for work they are doing to help Haiti. I received a notice in my email yesterday to complete a form for a background check as well as identification proof. I suddenly realized I may have signed myself up to GO to Haiti...Oops. My younger brother and I are type O-, so I'm trying to talk him into going to donate blood with me to aid in the relief efforts. When I asked him this morning, he just stared at me with no response at all.

Today I'm hoping to finish up the contract for the Jager job. Thankfully Jeremy said he would volunteer his super awesome lawyer skills and look over it for me. Yesterday when I talked to him, he said he found a way to finance the office he's opening, so now he was working on his to-do list for everything else he needs to do to get it running. I'm extremely proud and inspired by his, "I can do it", attitude. I wish I could be my own boss.

Other than working on the contract, I'm hoping to establish contact with the ex-inlaw family, in regards to Adam going up to Oklahoma for visitation. Since we live right next to the Amtrak station, I've decided to give it a try if we go. I know Adam would love riding on a train, and I've always been curious as well.
