Two little girls in blue

I’m open minded and I like to think open hearted. I am not a very huge fan of religion even if it’s arguable that behind that is a dislike for human beings themselves as that’s who is responsible for religion. I love children, they’re wonderful even when they’re not, seeing them learn, eyes full of wonder, everything is new.

I bring this all to light because I used to talk to someone I found very kind and very lovely but not in the since I wanted to be with them but the fact that they seemed so genuine. Her religion was wesleyan, a group of followers to the evangelical Protestant, James Arminius. This is one of those times I learned not to look at people a part of something I didn’t agree with in anger or confusion but is still something I want no part of. We lost contact after some disagreements online(of course).. I recently saw her and she informed me she is pregnant, of course one part of me was happy for her but mostly because of how she planned to raise them under the same religion and basis she was, a lot of me was disgusted, I understand that word sounds hateful, but it is only full of disapproval and dislike. I think everyone is entitled to live their life the way they want but if this religion and experience has taught me anything it’s more than likely your child will end up the same or close to the same in such a close and confined up bringing. Like pentecostal people the women are pretty much made for breeding, having kids, being forced to do things a certain way and showing no signs of who they could want to be. The things I was told by her jus made me glad I wasn’t raised that way and honestly by the way she talked made me think she would one day choose to walk away from such a life.

Now it’s true looking on the outside in is hard to grasp the life lived without being a part of it, but we live in a country where we are taught to want more and in some ironic from I could very well be the wrong one. Hell, the Amish are a pretty solid example that both religion and communism work to some degree and doesn’t get in the way of any other groups.

Shattered Empire

I’m going to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens today. This is huge, people lined up for the possibility of anything when “A New Hope” came out in the late 70’s. That kinda imagination only sustained by the fact that technology hadn’t caught up with George Lucas. I mean wow, the ideas, it was a long shot, the man physically endured for his vision and it was incredible!! Now more than 30 years later(38 I think) I’m goin to go see a movie that has that feel, i was around for the prequels but was younger(I’m 25) so I thought it ruled but didn’t absorb it as much as I can now. It’s an incredible feeling and goes back to what I wrote about comics and how they make people feel. I don’t like how America does stuff always but one of the only good things is what can happen here that can’t happen anywhere else as much, dreams. It rules getting excited with others about someone’s accomplishments, may seem weird but fandom isn’t so bad haha.

Seagram's

Wanna know how many times I’ve used the Pythagorean Theorem? Once.. No, seriously once instead of none like most people who aren’t majors in math say. Even applying it to life I don’t see those people using it much. I’ve always wondered why they don’t find a way to teach you about how gritty life is, other things you can use that would help. States curriculum never calls for it so we get “Pythagorean Theorem”… You know who does though and probably doesn’t get enough credit it for it? Teachers. Your “adopted parents” during the afternoon. Some suck and make it apparent they hate their career choice but then you have some that take it a step further. I’ll never forget my gym teacher in middle schools funny lesson on women. “Girls/women are a mysterious being when you’re right you’re wrong and when you’re wrong, you’re really fucking wrong, but never forget it’s up to you to know when you’ve met your match and that my friends is love”. Teachers are people and People forget that thanks to society standards.

XL NITRILE

I always wonder what happens when glances are exchanged. Like I wonder what that person is gonna do next, am I the last set of eyes that person will see? I wonder if they think the same.

This form of “day dreaming” does want me to lead to a more peaceful and kind way of life, people are fragile so it wouldn’t hurt to show your humanity and decency, could rub off and save someone.

That or it’s totally bullshit and wishful thinking cause you wanna try your hardest to be a “good person”, I will say you’re already miles ahead just by taking the time to think about it however, at least in my book.

Everest

You ever notice how there really is light in someone’s eyes? Even yours? Look in the mirror, it’s very eerie but warm especially when you know them, truth the warmth could be from a feeling or feelings you have for a person. Do you ever walk in public and catch that glow or light from others? I see it sometimes but not always, I wonder if that’s cause my eyes are bad or if they’re just not feeling warm. Maybe the warmth has something to do with life or matching warmths in someone. Being warm is nice, even if you’re upset no one truly wants the cold cause it just doesn’t work. I’m lucky I get to feel it as much as I do.

Atrocity Exhibition

I see my self as an "protagonist" even though i damn well know I'm "antagonist" material. Yes, some may say there is no "good" or "bad" people but that's wishful thinking or not hard enough thinking. I like to think of myself as socially good and well mannered for sure but I know deep down if I wanted too, that I could be one of those soulless fucks you've seen on the news for their own evil. But! Who wants that kinda "15 mins"... I wonder how many other living souls think about this as they wake up wondering if their life is going a direction they see fit or if it's an utter annoyance to awake to fulfill that days duty's. Do I put to much thought into it cause the U.S. raised like myself are spoiled? We don't just die in war, we win. We have it all and then some just in time for your favorite show. "Art", thinking, hand and hand but not always what we would call correct but socially justifiable like a lot of passive things either "ok" or "not ok" depending on the current time(s).
