UPDATED: I have changed the location where you can purchase the song.  Please refer to the updated blog post on this!

I have just released my “So Special” song on SnoCap. Because the song is about my take on marriage equality, I have decided that anything I make from it will go to Equality California (http://www.eqca.org) and the fight for marriage equality. Whether or not you like the song, it’s only 99-cents! So please help out this great cause by purchasing the song! You can catch the full-version of my song on my myspace, or just purchase below.

I’ve been feeling this odd back-and-forth pull in federal politics versus state level politics (in my particular case – California’s).  It seems as if – perhaps by chance – the progressive changes on the federal level is met by regressive issues on the state level.  Though this post is really only focused on one aspect of that – marriage equality.

I totally appreciate that the US wants to help out Pakistan, but where the heck are we getting $110 million from?  Did we have this lying around somewhere?

Movements: Ideas

As Melissa Etheridge wrote so eloquently on this very site about the Rick Warren inauguration fallout, “They don’t hate us, they fear change. Maybe in our anger, as we consider marches and boycotts, perhaps we can consider stretching out our hands. Maybe instead of marching on his church, we can show up en masse and volunteer for one of the many organizations affiliated with his church that work for HIV/AIDS causes all around the world. Maybe if they get to know us, they wont fear us.”
