I'm Sad That I'm Not a Spartan


yeah, i know there are worse things to be sad about in this world...war, natural disasters, closeted homosexual congressmen...but what's got me blue, got me down, got me tore up is just this: i am not, and never will be a spartan.

if you've seen 300, you know why being a spartan would be the ultimate.

if you haven't, you're not worth my time.

oh, king leonidas, i love thee and would dine with thee in hell.

and doy, no wonder i've got spartan on the brain; imdb.com estimates that the word 'Sparta' and its derivatives (mostly the term Spartans) are used a total of 72 times. This means the word Sparta is used at least .62 times per minute.

but trust me, its not annoying. its inspiring.

speaking of st. marks... they were spartans.

also... i think it's lame that sen craig acted like the worst thing he did was indicate that he might be gay. No, Senator, being gay isn't the crime. But what about lying, adultery, and solicitiing sex from strangers? that's a little worse.

everyone thinks he's so hypocritical about not giving gay rights. But to him, the experience of being gay is just sex with strangers in dirty bathrooms. For him, the experience of being gay is something to hide. gay for him doesn't equal healthy relationship,s being parents, being gay in the workplace, or whatever. It's just on the fringes of society.

Sorry, i just had to mention it.

300 was awesome& not just because of how fit all of the men were;) According to the History channel, Spartan women were pretty hardcore too.

Miz was so passionate about that, she had to comment twice.
