What a day and political stuff

Nothing like a blah day with a horrendous headache.
A really horrendous "look I'm turning into a migrane" tension headache. Which made me feel sick and crying on the way home... Blah. I'm much better now, after some Excedrin and a neck massage. I still have a bit of headache, so I don't plan to be online very long.
In other blah news, I heard on the radio this morning that the Texas legislature is currently discussing a gay marriage ban bill. It is in the House right now, and part of the bill stipulation that it is made a part of our constitution so that the courts cannot strike it down as fast. (Does that make sense?)
Here are the bills regarding same-sex marriages in the Texas Legislature at the moment:
HJR6 Proposing a constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman. As of April 4th, its left pending in a committee.
And the other one:
HJR19 Proposing a constitutional amendment relating to the recognition of a same-sex marriage or civil union. As of February 8th, this bill was referred to State Affairs.
I hope to keep up with news of these bills. Though the second bill is just confusing to me. *sigh*
To add to the blahness, I saw a teenager smoking outside of the place I got lunch at, with two others just sitting there with him. I just shook my head and went on. Thank you, teenager, for shortening your life-span.
Blah. I'm going to
metaquotes to cheer myself up.
ETA: Okay, according to
copperbadge, maybe I shouldn't visit
metaquotes yet. Bah. Going to visit other journals now.
