Just so you know . . . it's kind of a big deal

year36:

Sunday, June 28, 2009 will be the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Inn Riots in NY City. The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969 at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. Stonewall is frequently cited as the first instance in American history when gays and lesbians fought back against a government-sponsored system that persecuted homosexuals, and the Stonewall Riots have become the defining event that marks the start of the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world.

That day is also the 32nd anniversary of my birth ;)

Nightmare Cont.

Ever have one of those persistant nightmares that continue even after you wake up and fall back asleep? It’s like you are having a nightmare, wake up, and then when you go back to sleep, your nightmare picks back up where it left off (roughly). That just happened to me 3 times, this morning. It was about vampires. haha. I am such a little kid. That actually used to happen to me all the time when I was a kid, but not much since.

k…back to bed. hopefully I have been awake long enough to not go right into REM when I fall back to sleep.
