So I am usually pretty serious here, and I apologize for not updating recently. I have been going through an extreme bout of depression, and I will post about that next. I just thought I would give you guys a little bit of fun here and tell you some of the great rumors that have been spreading about me.
1. I had sex with ever male professor at CU Denver. This may be my all time favorite. I have never been to CU Denver, and don't know any male professors there.
2. I had sex with everyone at RMFC last year. Ok, guys, I know I am good, but geesh... Truthfully I did have sex at RMFC, with 5 people.
3. I have a drawer full of "Property of Kahuki" pet tags for making people into my pets. I have had three pets in my life. The first left me for a guy I introduced him to, the second became a boyfriend, and the third is still my pet. I wish I knew where that drawer was, cause I keep promising my current pet I will get him a tag.
4. While drunk and in the hot tub at RMFC, I molested a minor. OK, that one kind of hurt. It was a back stabbing effort to get me to resign as MAAC CEO. Let me just put it this way, even if I did what I was accused of, and I did talk to the person who accused me, it wasn't molestation, and he wasn't a minor. I was never, NEVER drunk in the hot tub and I do have witnesses to that fact, and in fact, I did not nibble on this guys neck. He is straight, and I am very considerate of straight guys, I will flirt, but that it is. No touching, and no nibbling their necks, or anything.
So that is the top four rumors that are being spread about me. I wish my life was even a quarter as interesting as the rumors that go around about me.

Last will and Testament
Last Will And Testament
This last will and testament will probably not be signed, but is verified by the fact that I will email it to my two boyfriends, Marcus Sletten and Zachary Page on April 5th, 2011. I will also post it to my blog at www.as-i-see-it-now.com.
I leave all my wordly possessions, including the mortgage insurance to Marcus Sletten and Zachary Page, equally split among them. The only major possession I have is the house, the rest still goes to them, to be split any way that they see fit. If either doesn’t survive me, then it goes fully to the other person.
Signed this 5th day of April, 2011

Religion in America
I haven't talked much about religion in these posts, but felt it was finally time to tell you all what I think.
First a little background. I was raised in a very religious home. My father had his license to preach, my brother had his license to preach, I even had a license to preach. I even pastored a small church for a short time while I was going to college. I was very involved in the music ministries, both playing instruments and singing and directing the choir. But I always felt out of place, like I didn't belong. Don't get me wrong, I love music, and I love playing the bass, and that was always enjoyable, but being 30 and unmarried, I always felt like people were looking at me funny. I dated a few girls, and every one of them went totally wrong. I even almost married one girl, but that was mostly because I felt her son needed a father figure. She was a complete mental case, but that was beside the point. When I quit the church, it was because they found out I like guys more. I was celibate at the time, but that didn't matter much to them. I was told I would never be allowed to be part of the platform ministry, that I would always be a background player. That didn't bother me too much, except for the fact that a girl who was going to the church, was 8 months pregnant with her third child, all out of wedlock, and by different fathers was allowed to do all the things I wasn't. She was allowed to sing specials, and be part of the worship teams. I just couldn't take the hypocrisy anymore. So my views on religion are slightly jaded.
I see religion in America as a way to control the people. We have quit following the teachings of Jesus Christ in order to push our more conservative views on everyone. I know it seems strange to say that Jesus was not conservative, but according to most modern teachers, he wasn't. He ate and slept with tax collectors and prostitutes, he hung around with a bunch of guys that were not preachers, but fishermen and other mundane occupations. And he taught us that there were only two rules for being a Christian. Love Gos, and love your neighbor as yourself. We go on to Paul's teachings and find that he put a lot more restrictions on being a Christian. The main one most people preach is you can't be gay. He also told us that women should be silent in the church. That if they have any questions, they should wait until they get home and ask their husband. Quite a change from what happens today. We have woman preachers, teachers, and ministers, and every one thinks that is great. Now don't get me wrong, I actually have nothing against woman preachers, I just feel if we are going to get so adamant about one teaching, then we need to follow them all.
We even see that in the teachings in the Old Testament. We see that there is a restriction against homosexuality in the laws, and we preach that fervently. However, that same list of laws tells us not to eat pork, or shell fish, that we should not cut our hair or beards, and that we should not wear clothes of blended cloth. The only one we still preach is no homosexuality. If we actually look at the scriptures and the times in which they were written, we can understand why God was telling us that. He had a group of people that he was trying to keep alive and thrive. In those days, if you ate pork or shellfish, you could die. If you cut your hair or beard, you could get heat stroke in the desert, and yes, if you slept with someone of your own sex, then you didn't produce off spring, and you wouldn't thrive. Well, we have thrived enough. We have a huge population explosion. We have more people than the Earth can really sustain, and we need to cut down. So the rule against homosexuality should go the way of the rules against eating and cutting your hair. It was good for the time, but no more.
I believe it is time for the Christians in this society, to really get back to the teachings of Christ. I believe we need to realize that word christian means one who is Christ like, and that we need to start manifesting the Spirit of Christ, and quit bickering about the things that he didn't see as important. Or at least, that is as I see it now.....

Age of consent
Sorry for not posting yesterday, but it was my friend Phillip's 21st birthday, and we were having his party at my house, so I had to prepare, but it got me thinking about today's post.
So what is it about age that suddenly makes us responsible. For some reason at midnight at on our 21st birthday, we suddenly become responsible enough to by alcohol. What is it that changes in our brain chemistry at the one sudden moment that makes us different. Is it suddenly we are responsible? Or is it that it gives us control over the masses?
Is it the same with sex? We teach our children from the earliest ages that they have the right to say no to someone touching them where they don't want to be touched. We teach them the difference between good touch and bad touch, but while we give them the right to say no, we don't give them the right to say yes. We tell them that until they are 18, or whatever the age is in that state, that they don't know the difference, and that they should say no to everyone. We tell them that they don't know what good touch is.
And while I agree that we should teach our children about sex, if we are going to give them rights over their body, then we need to give them rights. Now, I am in no way approving of molesting children, and I hope you are not getting that idea. What I am saying is that every person is different. I have met people in their 20's that cannot distinguish between good sex and bad sex. So why can there not be teenagers that have the maturity to distinguish between good sex and bad sex. I will say, I do not know the answer to this one. I don't know how we change our laws to give all citizens, no matter their age, the inherit rights that all people should have. Or at least, that's as I see it now.....

Comments are Welcome
So I see by my stats, that there are at least a couple of people reading this. And I would like to think that I am making you think. So I have a couple of favors to ask you.
Number one is please make comments. I would like to hear what you are thinking, and if I am making sense. I would like to hear your ideas and thoughts. But most of all, I would like to know that you are enjoying reading this.
Number two is to tell other people about it. I am pretty sure everyone know at least one other person that would enjoy reading this political stuff. And I would really appreciate the readership.
A word about paypal, I put that in if you wish. There is absolutely no requirement for you to pay to read this, but if you do, I appreciate it.
So that is the blog for today. Tomorrow we will get back to something political.

The Internet and Politics
So, how has politics changed over the last few years. I get several emails daily from my father, a died in the wool republican who thinks that Obama is the devil incarnate. But, I have to wonder why he feels this way.
All of these emails he gets are from the republican party. There is every lie in the book coming into his email, and since he gets these from "reputable" source so they must be true. He thinks that every email that comes his way is the absolute truth. He thinks that Pelosi told the government that she had to have this better plane to fly back and forth, when the truth is, the Secret Service told her that she had to have this plane because she had to be able to fly without stopping for fuel, and this is the only plane that could do that. But the republican party says otherwise, so that is what he believes.
Obama doesn't have a birth certificate, unless it serves their purpose, then all the sudden there is a birth certificate that says he was born in Hawaii. And why does he think this, because he gets it in his email.
So what is the change I am talking about. All the sudden the American public has access to all the propaganda of both parties. There is suddenly an influx of information coming straight to their inboxes with no contradictions to show their inaccuracy so the public believes it all. Now I am not saying that we need to have a public blocking of all information. But I do think we as the people who gets this information has the responsibility to see it for what it is. It is our responsibility to look at this information and see it for what it is, and not spread it all over the globe. Or at least that is as I see it now....

President's Day
Here we are in the United States of America celebrating President's Day. The day we actually celebrate the lives of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Let's look at these men and see what we can learn. First George Washington.
On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles." He was also actually opposed to the party system of government. According to the White House Biography, "To his disappointment, two parties were developing by the end of his first term. Wearied of politics, feeling old, he retired at the end of his second. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to forswear excessive party spirit and geographical distinctions. In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances." I wish we had learned from this man, and swore off excessive party spirit.
And now for Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln never let the world forget that the Civil War involved an even larger issue. This he stated most movingly in dedicating the military cemetery at Gettysburg: "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Well, we seem to be losing that government of the people, by the people, We are now government of the party, by the party until the next party wins.
So here we are celebrating the lives of two men that had great expectations for this country. And let me say, I have great expectations for this Country too. I talk a lot about the bad things that are happening in this country, but I do love it. I do think we have a great thing going. But we do need to make some changes. We need to follow the words of George Washington and look out for the party system. We need to heed the words of Abraham Lincoln when he called this government of the people, by the people and for the people. Then and only then can we once again become the great nation we once were, and get back on track. Or at least that is I see it now.....
