Shit on my mind

Pool.
I think I might be over playing pool. I have a hard time being motivated to play good. I get there and I'm just wanting it to be over, and I'm not overly concerned whether I win or lose. I used to get up for playing a good opponent and now I basically lay down. If I'm playing well then I'll win or be competitive but if I'm slightly off then I just basically give up. I'm only playing Thursday night league for the next couple months with wife and friends. Taking Tuesday off for foreseeable future and Wednesday BCA league I run will probably start up in October sometime. I'm hoping some time away from so much pool will reinvigorate me. I usually have a lag in summer, but never been this bad. I almost want to not play at all for a while and see how I feel.

Work.
Work been fucking crappy. I've had guys off and break downs and been scraping by. Then, I get everything rolling and some fucktard backs into my truck. It's going to be down for a couple weeks probably.

Life.
I was watching Last Week Tonight and John Oliver was talking about Colorado baker who wouldn't do a wedding cake for gay couple. Oliver stated that the guy had done other things for gay people but due to his religious views, he wouldn't do a wedding cake. Now, I'm all for gays having equal rights and should be allowed to get married and do whatever they want. And, I'm not religious at all, NOT AT ALL. However, if the goal is for people to be tolerant then I believe the baker absolutely fits that description. He's made pastries (or whatever) for gay people as reported by JO. His religion (however fucking cooky I believe it to be) says that marriage is between a man and a woman and he should be able to live his life according to his religious beliefs. If tolerance is the goal, why is it wrong to be intolerant towards gays (or blacks, hispanics, or whatever) but okay to be intolerant to people who hold different beliefs than what's politically correct. I'm most likely in the minority here (among liberal thinking people anyways) but I believe he is tolerant of them (as he's provided other services to them) but he refuses to celebrate their "choice". I don't think we should have to love the things other people do, but respect them and their choices. I feel that was done in this scenario.
