So there are things that i should prob feel more of a pull to get involved with but for some reason i am not.
The first being Gay Political Issues - Ya ya i know, since im gay i should be out there daily picketing for my 'rights' and if im not i shouldnt have them. We need to change people's minds about 'us'. Well im not that driven politically, and to 'force' ideas upon people is one of the hardest things to do, and we really arent an 'us'. I feel like i just need to be me for people to accept me for who i am. i dont need to walk up to people and say hi, im Brian and im gay, no im sooo many other things as well. What does that one thing matter so much? I figure trying to force people into what i think is right takes too much effort, and rarely works. Why not friend people and then show them that you are a human being and form a relationship with them and then they might understand your ideas and thoughts, and you may understand some of their ideas and thoughts as well. Who knows you may learn something.
And the other thing is green and sustainable issues. Yes i know what they are and how to do them, but, i rarely do them. I KNOW, im bad i should be doing them. i just do the small things, sometimes: turn off lights, unplug things, buy the light bulbs, ect. But other times i will leave my computer plugged in all day, let the water run for a long time. But i should be doing more, focusing on other types of energy, as well as recycling programs, starting green groups, being involved with the major green groups. But i still love my comfy life or driving my car everywhere, and my bottled water, and my non-local foods. Once again its the drive, and i hate to do it, but i blame the surroundings. I think i would do better if i was more informed and lived in a place where i could walk to places easier, and shop at local market within a distance of where i live.
Ya i should be, but im not. We will see.
