It sucks to give up on defending yourself.
It sucks to be generalized about (which pretty much everyone experiences, but that doesn’t make it suck less). It sucks to be labeled something that you aren’t because of ignorance. It sucks to be called names that are untrue and have the people who have hurt you lifted up as though they are infallible. I think many of us have experienced this. Just remember it when you make...
Hippy Dude: Well you know how there's 4 elements?

Why "I don't want to do this thing." doesn't mean...
I was recently watching a video on the youtubes wherein the videomaker (in this case, Vlogbrother’s own Hank Green) explains why he doesn’t want to get a tattoo. Then I read the comments… Oy. Some people seem to have taken offense to the idea that someone doesn’t want to do something. I’ll tell you right now that the number of things that I don’t want to do is...

But does that mean people should wish prison rape and prison murder on the guy? Maybe I’m just becoming a pacifist as I get older, but is it so weird that I don’t wish death on a child sex abuser? I know he’s clearly a piece of shit and deserves to spend the rest of his days in prison but as a society we are resorting to wishing rape and death on the guy… Maybe I’m...

I wish things could just go from bad to good instead of taking two steps forward and one step back over and over and over again
I just wish things would stop moving backwards for me. I can’t remember what good feels like. Is that a bad thing?
I mean I know what people being nice to me in the midst of the constant “shit hurricane” that is swirling around me 24/7...

Instead of trying “get busy” like other heterosexual males of my age group, I’m watching Hank Green talk about Biology. I’m that cool, amiright ladies? * HIGH FIVE*

“They up front asked me how I got the information, and I am a reverend. I am a prophet and I get my information from Jesus and the angels, and I told them that I had 32 angels with me and they were giving me the information and then it went from there,” she said.
So let me get this straight; a judge ordered a search warrant because of some guy claiming he’s in contact with the alleged...
There are days when my heart still breaks. Mostly I’m fine, but those are the ones that stick. The hearbreak days. They days when it feels like it did on that day, when it dawned on me that this was a sickening game that you were playing. That I was being toyed with. That I was being kept around for the attention that you leached from my soul. I still remember being on the hook. Being...

Fathers Day.

I will just put this here.
I quit defending people.
At work, I had been recently defending the women of the office against mildly offensive generalizations that one male employee had been making against women (nothing too bad, just “All women want is __________” and such, the typical oblivious misogynist stuff). That was fine, happy to do it and all, and several of the women in the room thanked me for it. It’s just the other day,...
