Maintenance man

So I had to have the control board and igniter on my stove replaced last week. A maintenance man, "Ben", came out to fix it. I noticed when he took his jacket off that he had tattoos on both forearms and neck. He showed me a few and I complimented him on them, which he thanked me. Ben was friendly and we talked about tattoos, jobs, etc. I couldn't help noticing the whole time that his butt was sticking out when he bent over to put the parts on the stove. My mind was flooded with impure thoughts as I gazed in amazement at his bubble butt. I wouldn't mind yanking his belt off, pulling his pants down and giving that blue-collar butt the loving it deserves. Hopefully I will see him again and work my charm.

I just have to say that it's a person's right as a human being to want to be safe, to prosper and to create change when and where it's needed. I see a lot of "keyboard warriors" who don't realize that you can peacefully protest to your heart's desire in the hopes that positive changes are made to ensure that our country runs smoothly, although we have a long way to go. How do you think we got it to where women can vote and people of different races not segregated in American schools anymore? Because people stood up, marched down the streets and demanded change, and change is what happened. I despise the mind set a lot of people have, where just because they weren't there and didn't stand up and fight for something that they're not obligated to care and lack any importance. Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything. These new changes might not be to your convenience, but at least there's people exercising their freedom and making good change instead of sitting down and being spoon-fed everything. Be a leader, not a follower. There's not a thing that says we have to keep certain things the way they are forever.

70+ years ago, several brave men and women fought to stop the evil ideologies that be, so the world would be at peace. Fast forward to now, and those same ideologies have sprung up here and are running our country into the ground. I don't think those brave soldiers sacrificed their lives just so we could be terrorized all over again.

How does one make a wishlist on Tumblr, and would anyone even grant any of them?

I know you're angry at what I did, and you're calling me every name in the book, but it was for your own good. Nothing you say is going to make me treat you any differently, but I hope one day you'll realize that I cared enough to do what I did, all the while thinking if I did the right thing. If only you knew, understood and cared. Someday you will see the light.

Sometimes you just need to hear how much you mean to someone

So tonight I walked out to CVS pharmacy down the road from me in the pitch black of night to get some Icy Hot lidocaine cream, since I’ve been having some pain in my upper abdomen. As I walked towards the front to pay for the muscle cream, I turned back around after realizing I wanted to get a birthday card for one of my friends. I look down the aisle at the vast array of birthday cards and try to find one appropriate for the situation. I spot one that had a dog with a bone in its mouth on the front, and the inside read, “Want me to bury your birth certificate? Happy birthday”. I laugh, take it in hand, and look for other potential birthday cards. I find another simple card that was gray and white in color and had several flaps to it. I take it in hand and try to decide between the two to get. I still felt like I should get something with a little more feel to it, so I look at one of the shelves and they have birthday cards listed by age. Since my buddy will be 30, I took the 30th birthday card off the shelf and opened it. It read, “30 is…feeling comfortable in your own skin. Realizing you can do whatever you put your mind to. Being surrounded by loving friends and family. Knowing you deserve to be happy”. Natalie Merchant’s “Kind and Generous” started playing over the intercom, and that coupled with what the card read almost made me cry. I ended up buying that card, and hope to find out what to write in it before I give it to my buddy for his birthday. I sure do miss him and hope he’s doing alright. I know things haven’t been great between us, but I am always thinking of him and eager to hear from him again.

I've already reached into the fire and got burnt, but somehow I still want to venture further and get consumed by your flame.

I hope the kindness, wisdom and advice I gave you will stay engraved in your subconscious and reappear when you need it the most. Someday you will know the truth, and I hope you will take it in and believe in it, the same truth I was trying to show you. I've only wanted the best for you because I feel that you deserve it. I just wish I knew if you believe me when I say that.

Listened to a song earlier that always make me think of you, and almost broke down in tears. What can I do to bridge the gap between us? Is there a way to mend a fence when a board is knocked out of it? It’s killing me not having you around anymore. I miss you, Marcus.
