Suicide In Our Schools
Such young kids…ten, eleven, twelve years old…ridiculed until they take the “easiest” road out. These kids aren’t even old enough to realize what death does to everyone around them. They have no idea of the impact they make on the world around them when they take their own lives, starting with their families and trickling down to people they might not have ever had...

What a strange last few weeks.
So much sad shit, but the weather has refused to let me stay in a melancholy state. It’s weird. My friends back home suffered a big loss with the death of our friend, Harlin. The cause of death makes things so much worse. Dammit. And then Coda…I can’t imagine the trauma that one of my best friends went through when she saw her beloved puppy…her first child…get...

Trial and Error.
It’s what I seem to live by. With an unfaltering inclination to follow my impulse, I try to do so without the hindrance of fear. Thankfully, my parents raised me to be strong and driven and reminded me often that I could be anything I wanted to be because they would always protect me. And what a security blanket that was-just enough sugar to add to the strength; just enough bitterness to...

thewhoreofgondor asked: I saw your blog entry about you being a cosmetologist. I read it & I was very intrigued by it. I'm 19 & as soon as I came out of high school, I started beauty school. I didnt even have a summer vacation. I love what I do & what I learned with a passion. I graduated on March 1st & less then a week after that, I got a job at the salon. What grabbed my attention most was you...

An American Elitism
I could go on for days about the tyranny of our American culture, but I often just hold my tongue. Sometimes, however, my jaw automatically unlocks and hell breaks loose.
During my coffee session this morning, I moseyed over to see what my Facebook feed had to offer. After sifting through countless political banter about the recent bill in North Carolina and President Obama’s stance on...

…keep this page bright white and blank as the whites of your eyes; tell me stories and lie with me or to my face, at least give me something to replace the blood that once warmed my face. because now, it’s my skin that’s bleak and blank; white and broken as the hearts that we stomped on just so we could swim in our velvety fucking bliss.
