Just Another Bend In Journey of Life

Misc ramblings....Well I found out today at work that hot UPS guy that I was in love with is being deployed on Monday... I sent him a nice email today as we didn't talk much over the holidays w/ UPS being so busy and my last couple of weeks being so screwed up. It scares me to think of all of the "what if's" of him leaving. He's in charge of making sure the convoy's are secure so he'll be right in the middle of it instead of being in a "safe" place. Well, as safe as you can possibly be in the middle of a war zone. Then again, he's been active in the reserves for years so he knew it was inevitable.
After reading someone else's blog today a question arose. His posting was regarding a friend dating a woman of another race and his friends mother not agreeing with it at all and them not being on speaking terms as a result. Is it just me or is it "acceptable" not to date someone because of religious beliefs but not acceptable because of someone's race? What got me thinking about this is that when I was all excited about the hot UPS guys but realized that he cannot date outside of his religon, I thought that was ok and I do believe my reasoning was that I cannot argue w/ religous beliefs... So why is it that I find it ridiculous that someone would be discriminatory (is that a word?) against someone's race or color!? Isn't that a little backwards considering I was discriminated against because I wasn't Apostolic (and ok with it) but if I was dating someone who's family said he couldn't date me because I was white, or because I have dark hair or whatever, I'd be pissed!!! Is it because I value religion more so than race or color? Funny considering that I haven't attended chuch in God only knows how long!
Yoshi is doing good. I stopped to see him today. He's still on an IV but should be able to come home tomorrow as long as he keeps his food and water down. YEAH!!! S has decided that she wants to go to camp for the weekend w/ my parents. I told radio guy that if she left he could come here. I'm not really ready to introduce the two considering I have no clue what's up yet. I didn't talk to him last night but I did get a text saying that he wasn't sure if he was coming up or not since I have to stay home. I told him that if she's gone he's more than welcome to come here. I don't remember what the response to that was. I guess we'll wait and see. I did have a lot of fun with him but I also know he's very scarred and it's going to take a lot to heal the deep wounds that are left once the wall comes down.... Time will tell...
