It saddens me to live in a world where people get off on claiming their hatred or dislike of others just because of how they look or what they believe in. Hate what I believe in, fine, but why hate me? I don't hate republicans, even though I hate 99% of what they believe in. They are people, all different. Of course I think that what I believe in is better than what they believe, but I do not think I am a better person. Difference, a whole system of beliefs and personality traits makes a human being, not just a social or political belief. Not a skin color or sexual orientation. I am tired of the smugness people exhibit when they say "I'm not [stupid, boring, pathetic] like those people." What the fuck does that even mean? Of course there are always exceptions, like Nazis and other bigots. But a part of me wants to believe we can change their minds. That doesn't mean I will be sitting next to them at dinner on purpose. Hmm I'm rambling I think. Basically I wish we could respect other people whether or not we respect their opinions.

My workout this morning was brutal. I was exhausted but I pushed through. I need new batteries for my scale. Very annoyed, those things are expensive!
I'll be in NYC July 15-18 to find an apartment and hang out with my friends. My friend is sending me like 4 drink tickets and a captains club pass so I will be wasted and smiley.
I need to eat breakfast now.
