Emotion? Well that's Gay.

Doesn't it fascinate you that whenever a man shows healthy emotion it's considered gay?
For example, I have a friend who just started dating this lovely woman, and recently updated his facebook status as "2 Months, 10 Days".
Now, I am aware that if you are in a relationship and both the individuals are as happy and romantically involved as each other, as he obviously is, it is considered healthy and good for the relationship. Even good for each individual.
What I find hard to understand is how that is classified as gay? A comment was posted to this status as "A bit gay."
Love is gay? Being romantic is gay? Showing and pronouncing your love is gay? Being in touch with your emotions as a man is considered gay now? Having the ability to self-reflect is gay?

It's not that it gets me angry, not at all. It makes me disappointed and sad. When did a man being in touch with his emotions come to be considered a homosexual attribute?
Has it come to a point where men are not even allowed to want to feel, they are not allowed the right to express?

I think it's ridiculous of course, as an emotional and very exuberant man that such things as love and passion are considered gay, when in fact it is a human function.

Not that being considered gay is a bad thing of course, I am a strong supporter of same sex love and marriage and have never in my life seen anything wrong with it. Love is universal. Therefore not only is love gay. It is also straight, bisexual, asexual, etc.

It is just the fact that when a man tries to express himself, or try to be more than just a stereotype, he becomes repressed by society. Sadly by friends.

I can't stand people like that. Who in some way, I don't know how, were raised with the idea of only one man.
Any woman will tell you, a man with emotion is an advantage. A man who is comfortable with himself enough to express his emotions and passion is never a bad thing, but a great thing.

I like being great.

Football Will End Me

How?
The passion people feel for football has lead to me being threatened countless times. Which I find both hilarious, inspiring, but also scary.
My latest threat was "If they score, I will kick YOUR ass and kick YOU out"

My response? "WHY ME?!"
Their response? "I'M NOT JOKING!"
Get ready to laugh when you read in the news WHY I died.

But I looooooooooooooove their passion.

The Birth-WEEK

Birthdays should always last this long!
Instead of having a birthday, I had a birth-week, which was great because I felt extra special for 6 days instead of 1.
I woke up everyday to the belated smiles of my family looking at me like I was achieving something that is actually being forced upon me, AGE. I loved every minute of it.
Yes I'm growing older, yes I'm becoming an adult, and YES I am very aware of those facts+a few others.

However!
I'm so happy. Almost too happy. I have friends who care for me, family who would die for me, a dog who wishes he was human to date me, an education that so far is going great, AMAZING prospects in the future, also...an Iphone4 <3
Thank you to everyone who made my birthday feel intensely special! Especially the ones who sang for me.

I.Will.Never.Forget.
