Finally managed to upload my one-and-only song I'v ever recorded to some conclusion. Here's the information in case some of y'all care:

Miles Johnson: Writer, producer, piano, vocals and keyboard (bass line)

Percussion by the owner of Spectrum Studios, Ft. Lauderdale

Accoustic and electric guitar by someone FAR more talented than I could ever be.

Comments welcome- just know that this is not a passion nor something I even do anymore. It merely represents a time- oh, about 12 years ago- when I still had passion for doing something I loved. Now I just care about paying bills. So the score is:

Life:1, Miles:0

Thanks for listening.

I've really got to pull myself together. This whole Prop 22 / Ann Barnett / Jean Fuller has begun to take more of my time, passion and energy than I thought I'd care to give it. But some comments have continued to needle me in unsettling ways. They got me to thinking- you guessed it- what if we all got our way? Either in tandem or as seperate issues.

What if gay marriage were here to stay, upheld by the CSSC? If the November vote kept gay marriage, what would happen? What would you do personally? What would happen to the county? Thet State?

OR

What would happen if same-sex marriage were voted out of law in November?

OR

As one person suggested, why don't the gays just go somewhere else and get married? For that matter (and taking that logic to it's ultimate conclusion) why don't the gays simply leave Kern altogether?

What about the Jews, or blacks or hispanics?

Describe a Kern County to me where everyone get's their way. Isn't that the essence of a kind of "Bakotopia"?

Look at this picture. Committ it to memory.

This is the face of the enemy.

As many of you already know, Ann Barnett has put her foot down and decided (on behalf of all Kern County residents- she is an elected official, you know) that if gays are allowed to marry, by gosh NO ONE will. Well, not in her office anyway. Can't you almost here the tantrum now? Sadly, she also controls who has the ability to officiate over ANY weddings. Quite literally, this person has the ability to decide who can get married and who cannot. Apparently California Law stops at the Kern County border.
