Baby steps

The world is changing; i'll give it some credit I guess.

In the past three days wihle I've been driving I've been applauded, given 2 thumbs up and a friendly smile. I like it.

First, there was this little red car behind me and they pulled up to the left side of my car and there were two guys who looked and gave me 2 thumbs up then turned off the road. It was cool because I have 'Vote No on Prop 8' written on the back windsheild of my car and I knew what they were supporting. The next day, same thing happened. I was stuck in traffic going home while this tan car with an older black man was to the left and behind me. He got closer to my car and with a big ol' smile he pumped a fist and gave me a head nod. It was way cool. It definitely made me laugh. And yesterday I was driving in downtown WC when I saw one of my favorite coaches of alllll time, Dave Brown. He looked over his shoulder and was surprised to see me but after he turned I got a text from him sayin, "Love the no on 8 sign!".

These are the type of things that prove to me people are changing. Well.. atleast slowly starting to try and accept the differences.

I know for a fact that this world has miles and miles to go before anything drastic happens but that's okay. Baby steps, right?
