Am I a good writer?

Honestly? Am I a good writer? I ask this because I have a running sitcom in my head. I have ideas for plays or t.v. shows. Is there something in my writing that's appealing? I'm just really curious. Wondering if that's something at all Is should pursue. Frankly, most of my life I've hated writing. I love my blog though. I actually really have liked working in collaboration with others on some things that I have been a part of, but with those I very much took a back seat(but that's how I roll, really) Basically, just wondering, am I a good writer? If so, what about my writing appeals to you? Is it the subject matter, the eloquence(or lack thereof), the personality, just what?

In response to...

K, here's the deal. Once upon a time my sister wrote a post on her blog about how she feels about marriage equality. That can be found here http://stillme-thejourney.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-i-came-to-support-marriage-equality.html This is how I feel on the subject. This is a response, but I think it properly states how I feel on the subject. It raises my concerns and responds to some of Jen's concerns.(My sister) "First off Jen, I know your opinion on the "sanctity of marriage" is that it's non existent, I get that. I don't believe that. I feel children SERIOUSLY need a male and female role model in their lives to become productive citizens. If they don't have both, it's a hurdle but not an impassable barrier. Homosexuals can most definitely be great role models for children. I know many that I love, respect, and admire. Divorce sucks, I frown on it in about 90% of the cases. You've asked me about that before in discussions about this. That's how I feel. Someone else's divorce is NEVER my call on whether or not the reasons were strong enough that this was better than working through them. Growing up in the church I never ever heard anything about interracial relationships. I've had to overcome racism in myself though, that's a fact. When I was in Hairspray I hard a time making friends with the black cast mates. They were different it was weird. That's more just the fact that I wasn't friends with any. It was strong enough that I was uncomfortable the few rehearsals I was in the minority. Now, loving homosexuals as themselves IS the right thing to do. That doesn't mean I feel I need to let them attack the sanctity of one of the holiest things on this earth. For me, marriage is ordained by God between a man and woman, why does a homosexual couple need that? Personally I feel that the government should not support it, but I don't feel right disallowing it either. The difficulty and battle here is that the government has institutionalized a religious and holy practice. I wish a compromise could be made where the homosexual couples can seek the recognition they deserve from their government entity, but that still doesn't mean that they have to be married. I would be offended if a homosexual couple asked to be married in an LDS chapel. It's not the appropriate place for it because I feel that is a place dedicated to God, that would be a defamation of marriage as ordained by Him. Now comes to MY big issue. Jen, the minority should not be limited by the majority, I believe that, but why should I sacrifice for them? My religion has fought long and hard for every little scrap of recognition they've received. I'll admit it much longer than it needed to because of how many mistakes it has made throughout its existence. The majority has made so many concessions to minorities that people like me are suffering for it now. I'm so incredibly average that life is much more difficult for me now than it would have been 20 years ago. In short, loving them as they are is a beautiful thing. They're human beings that have so much amazing potential to do good in this world. They have every right to live their life as they desire, but why do I have to give up something I hold as sacred as life? Is it not possible for them to receive the recognition they desire without assaulting my beliefs and what I stand for in my life? Is their lifestyle, whether chosen or not so much more important than one of my core values? I know I'm atypical(probably) but I personally feel that's the core of the issue. A minority that's screaming for its voice to be heard and rights to given and majority that is frightened and tired of letting go of something that is dear to them, frightened by if they let this go, where else will they turn? If they surrender now, will it stop? Will they continue to be assaulted until they're a minority with no rights at all? Hell, what if they're a minority with no rights at all? That's why I feel that homosexual couples should be denied marriage." Please respond with questions and feelings of your own. I want to know whether you think I'm smart or stupid. Crazy, racist, or whatever, but please respond with reason. Simple concurrence is appreciated or simple rejection is okay too. I would prefer to know why you think that way, but even more than that I want to know WHAT you think. Sincerely me, a simple adventurer on this grand adventure called life. Justin

Storytime!/I got bored...

Once upon a time there was a princess named Clark(They have silly notions on what princesses should be named in Glabberflob) Clark was madly in love with a peasant named Snookie(Big fans of Jersey Shore) Snookie was the kindest and sweetest man in all of the vast lands of Flabbergoob but poor Snookie was poorest of all the poorest peasants that had ever even been imagined! No princess could ever be allowed to marry him, especially not one as beautiful as Clark! As such, our clever princess devised a plan to make him as kingly as any man(or princess) could ever dream! She sent him on adventures with great rewards, guiding him safely with all the best knights of her realm. These adventures cost her many of her great fortunes, but at last! He returned home a as a hero great renown and fortune. Only to find the kingdom of Flebershnot in ruins! Poor Clark had ruined her kingdom to see him to greatness, so much so that when the hero Snookie returns from his adventures all he finds on the grounds of the palace is a beggar girl named Clark, but being the great man that he is, he recognizes the Clark formerly known as princess. He offers his hand to her and his fortune to her kingdom, hoping to restore the realm to all it's former glory. Unfortunately they were horrible rulers and that's why no one has ever heard of Glebberflirshst The end.

Controversialist? Maybe. Is that word made up? Definitely.

So once upon a time I was at work. I'm there a lot. Sadly. I was having a conversation with my favorite grandma. She said something to me, that might actually be true. If so, I blame it on my eldest brother. I got it from him. :p

She said I say things just to contradict people. This, I think is true. The important part to me, is WHY I do this. This is something that's important enough I think I should share. As you may or may not know, I'm part of a religion that is consistently and chronically accused of being "close minded" I didn't appreciate that accusation so I set out to make sure it wasn't true. I don't like being close minded. Now, be sure that I'm well aware of the fact that being controversial or contradictory is not being open minded but to be made aware of all there is about me I seek to question everything. I do mean EVERYTHING. Including my sanity, on a daily basis.

None of these things inherently lead to being a controversialist, true. The thing that leads to being a controversialist is this. If I can do it, everyone else MUST be able to do it. (This stems from a really weird self view. Mainly stemming from the fact that I think I'm nothing and that everyone else is basically godly, this gives me many issues. I know this, this is not what this blog is about) Since everyone SHOULD be able to do what I can do, that makes it hard for me when people cannot or do not. As such, I offer a lending hand. I point out the flaws that I see. Many people cannot handle this, including my ex-girlfriend Ms. Poopyfacebumcheesestupidface. I have a hard time understanding the people that cannot take that. That's a different issue. Others take this fact about me and use it to discuss and learn about ourselves and our thoughts on the universe. People that are very willing to listen to my controversial view usually have a rather profound discussion with me. It's awesome. Everyone else should be like that.

That is the things that make me a controversialist, but not WHY I am. The reason why I am is really quite simple. When you're constantly flexing, stretching, and ringing your mind attempting to look at every possible angle, leave no stone unturned, then it's quite impossible to not love someone. I like loving people, I really true, 100% honestly do. When you've torn apart your entire world view trying to understand someone, it's an incredible feeling. There are people I don't like, true. Because what I understand of them disturbs me. Or they frustrate me because they throw up these walls, or worst of all. Lie to me.

I've thought I was in love with at least a few girls when I realized all it was was the fact that they fascinated me. I'm pretty sure the girl I DO fall in love with for ever and ever and ever will fascinate me until the day I die. I've often thought that the girl I fall head over heels for will be someone I'll know to the core and yet be surprised everyday by something new. Basically, there's something awesome about doing everything possible to understand someone. The people I love most in my life are the ones that I require no thought to understand. I want more people in my life, I know that there is much more to friendships than just the mere understanding, but when someone puts that much effort into getting to know you it makes everything else much easier.

Just another lesson on this grand adventure called life.
