			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight I rented Milk because I was too cheap to see it in the theater.  If you&#8217;ve not seen it yet, you should.  This was the story of openly gay SF Supervisor Harvey Milk that chronicles his influence on the gay rights movement.  To a large extent, his influence is still felt and many of the battles he fought are still being fought today 30 years later.  What struck me the most was once again the influence of the misinformed church which I talk about quite a bit here.  Back then, even as we see today, religious leaders use their bully pulpit to spread lies about anyone who might be different from them.  It is a small world they live in, it&#8217;s a shame for them that it isn&#8217;t reality.  I won&#8217;t spoil the movie though, rent it.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I get to go and spend another $600+ on my pathetic car.  Last time it was new breaks, tomorrow it will be new wheel bearings.  HOPEFULLY, this will be the last of the major expenses that have nearly drained my entire bonus this year.  I won&#8217;t complain because I do need the car and these extra funds are designed precisely for this sort of thing, they are, after all bonuses not necessarily fixed to my annual income but in addition to it so it&#8217;s not like I could not survive without them.  Anyhow, I don&#8217;t expect to have much left this year for too many more &#8216;fun&#8217; things like I&#8217;ve had in the past.  I did get a few toys this year but I justify those as a gift for having survived the previous 12 months without losing my mind.  I still miss Jirar a great deal but my life (and his life) are moving on.  Shit happens.</p>
<p>Nothing else much to post tonight.  Looking forward to a busy weekend at work.  It&#8217;s supposed to be decent weather and that will draw people out of the wood work looking to get going on spring projects.  Time to sharpen my game, motivate my team, and prove that even with a horrible economy, I can still make money for my company.</p>
