love and what it means to me now

as i sit here writing this i listen to a song that a couple years ago would have reminded me of hurt and heartache and even make me cry on a bad day but now its just a good song by a good band. it is very hard for me to get to that point with a song that before had so much meaning,songs have a very special meanings to me i have a playlist of songs that describe my whole teenage life and then some . i realize that as my life continues in the great direction that it is i realize that what was in my past is there for a reason because i could never be this happy if i was in any of the relationship i used to be in mainly the one that for so long i compared others to the one that looking back now on kept me held down basically allowing my self to be hurt over and over ,i now see that person who WAS a big part of my life as just another person no one who could ever make me rethink my life now just another person i know i can even find for my self being happy for this person as they start their  own life , because i have at this point in my life found the person who i would cross the world for the person who i would do anything for even if it meant packing up and leaving on a minutes notice because life without him seems like a waste of time and energy ,without him i could never push myself to do half the things i have ,he see's me at my worst and still looks at me like im a super model even when that's the last thing i could see my self as,he is the person who despite what others may say i can see the real him the real father and husband who would do anything and give anything for his family and i couldnt ask for anything better then him . love to me now is being in his arms and knowing that im the only one he wants and knowing that i have something no one else has ,his heart and he has mine .i could never have imagined that i could have such a great life but i do . i love you with all my heart Anthony Michael Degel

politically correct or religious beliefs does one mean you cant support the other

over the last couple days i have read and watched clips about the presidential election, and religion arguments involving Kirk camron well even though you may wonder what either has to do with the other if you have watched TV you would know . this election has had more to do with religion then any other since JFK i get a giggle at that but only some will know why anyway back on the farm , religion and politics have never mixed and for a good reason weather republican, or democrat politicians have never been quite able to split the road equally they always tend to lean to one side or the other ,me on the other hand i am a republican but i love to argue on both sides of religious beliefs i guess it comes from being raised by a mother whos  as religiously one sided as they come and a father and family who yes are religious but not like you would think they should be being catholic and southern baptist .i believe that politically i am republican as it comes but if you bring religion into it i take it case by case which rubs some the wrong way .how can you be republican but argue on that ,ill answer bu saying this i agree with Kirk camron when he said he believes that being gay is a sin and gay marriage is a sin ,but before i stop there i also believe that the u.s should legalize weed but treat it the same way they do alcohol,now saying that doesn't mean i smoke it or like it but that i understand that it has its pros and not just its cons,i can look at both sides understand them and argue them with out letting my beliefs get in the way (see i did pay attention in speech class lol)   kirk camron was asked a question and answered it the best way he could with out TRYING to piss people off and for that i more then give him kudos but like i said just because i agree with him on that doesn't mean i agree with him on everything i am a person who depending on what you ask me will depend on what my answer is unlike my mom who if the bible says it it must be right and true no ifs ands or butts im not saying those who think that way are wrong,bad,or anything else im saying its not how i think .sorry if this seems to be a rant but after watching another clip jabbing at kirk and a politiclly fueled debate (and i use that word loosely) with my mom i thought i would let the world know where i stand and open up the discussion to anything that those involve
