Here's some more pictures of Logan eating, and of him playing with his ducky, Quackers. He loooves his ducky; unfortunately, so does Thor. 
I saw again today some Christian citing Leviticus 20:13 against gays and lesbians. What's interesting to me is that they dismiss almost all of the other verses in Leviticus, saying that those verses can be ignored because we don't need them in the modern day.
Things like not planting two kinds of seeds in your fields, not wearing clothes woven of two or more materials, canceling all debt every seven years (imagine that crap going on), even deporting men and women that have sex while the women is on her period. It's ridiculous, we definitely don't need those rules.
We don't need 20:13 either. If you don't know what this verse says, here it is:
"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13)The thing about Leviticus is, it was written by the Jews. Now, if you think about it, during the time this was written, there wasn't much in the way of science telling people how things worked. People believed that men were born with a certain amount of sperm (like eggs with women) and were afraid it would run out, and so logically, it would be a sin to waste it. Which is why homosexuality was considered a sin, as well as masturbation.
(Let's not even get into circumcision.. I mean seriously, take a step back and think about that. If your 'god' didn't want your sons to have foreskin, why put it there? It's barbaric.)Anyway, my point is, if you're going to throw out most of the chapter as outdated, then how can you possibly think any of it is still logical?
The Jews said sex should be used only for procreation, they were trying their best to grow the Jewish population.
My problem with these people is that they preach this total crap to people that just eat it up and believe it wholeheartedly without even giving it a second thought.
If you don't do research on something, even just a little bit, then I'm sorry, but you're ignorant and not entitled to an opinion. If all you did was listen to someone's hate speech and now you think homosexuality is evil (or at the very least unnatural) you're an idiot.
Do your homework kids, here's today's lesson: Google search the phrase "Homosexuality in the animal kingdom" and "homosexuality and evolution". You'll find articles on both sides of the "evil-or-not" spectrum, but until you read them all (which is probably impossible because there are more and more out each day), you can't have a belief system about it. Also, it's the internet, a lot of it is bound to be retarded and certainly not peer-reviewed.
I took some more videos of Logan today. He's finally found out how to put his foot in his mouth, and he had his first experience with baby cereal. I've always been scared of death. Of my own, surely, but mostly of those I love.
I'm especially scared of Zeus dying, or my mom, or Logan. But I've realized something...
The best things in life are fragile and mortal. Without them to cherish, life is truly empty. Maybe they mean so much because they are not permanent. Permanence would lead to taking advantage of it; we would not appreciate it's true value.
Every living thing will die. It will disappear from being and become nothingness. But who's to say it doesn't get recycled? I'm an atheist, sure, but that doesn't mean I presume to know what happens after death. It means only that I admit I don't know, and that really, anything could happen. I'm secure enough in my life to realize that I will probably never see again those that I love, but I also know that I really don't know anything.
So maybe. Maybe.
Logan will be four months on Friday. I'll take some pictures for that, but who knows when I'll post them, so I decided to put some on here today.
Logan loves the toys Aunt Betty got him. I named the lil ducky 'Quackers'. If he's playing with his Tweety toy and he drops it, he starts whining and crying until you give it back to him, it's so cute.
He's also really started to hold on to and hug his doggy, named 'Buster'. If you put it in front of him, he'll grab onto it with his arms and shove it into his face. For awhile now, whenever someone holds Logan, all he wants to do is stand up on you and jump. I thought he was still too small for his jumper we got him, but I figured I'd try it anyway. It's got a deeper bucket seat than I thought, so it supports him sitting up really well.
I took some video of him jumping in it for the first time. There's also one of him making his special Grammaw face. I didn't capture it too good, because of all his jumping, but you can kind of see it. I'll tell you though that the video and pictures really don't do him justice, he is so much cuter in real life.
Logan was screaming last night while we were watching a movie, so I just had to take this video. He's such a weirdo.Everything's been going good here. I think I've finally got Logan into taking longer naps during the day. He used to just sleep for 20 or so minutes at a time, and then he'd get really grumpy. Now, I take him upstairs to my bed and feed him in there and he sleeps for 3 or 4 hours sometimes. Only thing that kind of sucks about it is that I usually have to sit there with him for a half hour or more until I'm sure he's really asleep.
His four month birthday is coming up soon. I'm dreading it though because it means he has to go get more shots. Just thinking about putting him through more of that makes me want to cry.
Logan's awake now, so I'll post some more stuff later, I need to take some more pictures.
Here's another video of Logan laughing. He hardly ever laughs for me, he smiles at me all the time, but Grandma always gets the big laughs.
I finally got him to laugh for me though, so here's the video.
Mom and I watched a movie today called "The Walker". It was a weird movie, but one question it asked was whether you would choose being honest over being loyal. It's a tough decision for some people, but for people like me, it's simple. Loyalty always triumphs.Both are incredibly important to me, even to the point of hypocrisy. Case in point: I'm allowed to bitch at my mom. When she makes me mad, I'm allowed to tell her about it because I've always stood by her side. Everyone else, however, is not allowed to bitch at my mom. I don't care who you are, you are not entitled to get mad at my mother, only I have that right. For some reason, this makes sense to me, even though I know it's hypocritical. I feel I'm the most loyal to my mom, and in telling her that I'm upset I'm being even more loyal. Everyone else, though, is just being an ass.If it came down to being loyal to mom by being dishonest and losing something vital, or telling the truth and betraying loyalty, that's an easy choice for me. Mom has given up everything for me, and I would do the same for her. I would lie for her, definitely.I guess it depends on the situation, though. Loyalty to someone I hardly know is not worth throwing away honesty. Loyalty to someone that's been loyal to me is much easier to maintain.I don't know why I think about crap like this.
