Viewing corners

We all know now that California has officially approved of same-sex marriages. And the first person who have taken advantage of this unprecedented news was Ellen Degeneres. She announced the day after that she is about to marry her girlfriend, actress Portia de Rossi.

I am a fan of Ellen and I totally respect her sexual preferences. Her ability to entertain people is not fully determined by her gender. So, after her so-public announcement of her engagement, she featured Sen. John McCain, who is publicly know to have a different take on same-sex marriage and even jokingly asked if the Republican presidential nominee can walk her down the aisle.

And Ellen’s political stance didn’t end there. She next invited First lady Laura Bush and Jenna, who just got married to her show and again jokingly asked if she can get married on the Bush ranch.

The first lady was just nodding and I can’t seem to read Jenna’s reaction. But I got the vibe that she wasn’t comfortable with it.

I’m imagining right now in my head Ellen and Portia in the Bush ranch with John McCain standing in the rows. I know that shouldn’t be taken seriously, but then, it’s one of those fantasies that gives a smile on one’s face.

Only became a fan of Ellen’s show a year ago. It was the time I had almost lost work. Well, to be brutally honest, I didn’t want to go to work back then. It was my breaking point. Couldn’t remember the first episode that I watched but I remember the feeling when I watched that show for the very first time. Her monologues made me laughed so hard I forgot to be depressed because of my job. My bosses back then were so unreasonable, they demanded the siliest volume of work but then didn’t want to pay overtime. I think my panic attacks begun at that moment.

But then, when I watched her show, I realized there are jobs in this seemingly unfair world that are rewarding. I mean, I feel that working in her show would definitely be a blast. Dancing would take a load off my stress level. I even resulted to undergoing stress tests and they were crazy high.

I regret I wasn’t able to watch that show for during its early years, maybe if I did, I could have had more good laughs rather than cursing moments. Watch her monologue during her 800th show.
