On hating most people

When you’re an introvert and your boyfriend is an introvert and your ideas of the best date ever is staying in with wine and netflix.

Fireworks filmed with a drone

BE SURE TO WATCH IN HD! Flying through a firework show with a DJI Phantom 2 and filming it with a GoPro Hero 3 silver. The quad was not damaged. https://www....

This is just the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

E3 brought out the video game doodling and yearning for a new next gen Metroid Prime without all the Wii gimmicks.

Some good ol times figuring out how to ink wash.  I should also get rid of my perspective lines better.

Don’t tell your daughter that when a boy is mean or rude to her it’s because he has a crush on her. Don’t teach her that abuse is a sign of love.

My mom always taught me yell or fight back. Boys would be mean and I would yell back. I would get my ass pinched and I would smack them as hard as I could.

Who alway got in trouble? Me.

They would call my mother and she always came in and lectures my teachers and threatened to sue for making her miss work and treating me poorly.

She always taught my brothers to respect women. The only fights my brothers ever got in was defending women from someone else.

The school tried to call my father once instead of my mother on us. He came in in his full preacher outfit (being a preacher and all) and gave them an entire sermon on what would Jesus day of he was called in. They decided dealing with my mom was better.

I think my favorite story of this is when some kid snapped my bra and I turned around, didn’t even think about it, and punched that little motherfucker right in the nose.

So naturally, I end up in the principal’s office, refusing to apologize. 

“He shouldn’t have put his hands on me and I wouldn’t have hit him!” That’s the only thing I was saying.

These people had the unfortunate luck of catching my dad at home, instead of my mom. So he comes fucking sauntering in there, like he’s Clint fucking Eastwood in some western movie and looks at me. 

“Melissa, did you punch him?” 

“Yes.” I said. 

“Why?” 

“Because he snapped my bra strap.” 

And he turns his squinty eyed glare to the principal and says, “You’re telling me my daughter is in trouble because that squirrely looking kid put his hands on her and she chose to defend herself? That’s what you are saying to me.” 

“Well, sir-” The man kind of stuttered because my dad is kind of intimidating in the quiet sort of way that kind of whispers in the back of your mind that this person could be dangerous. “Melissa did make it physical.” 

“No. That kid put his hands on my daughter. Are you saying my daughter cannot defend herself when some boy decides to put hands on her? Is that what you are teaching my girl?” 

I didn’t get suspended that day.

This is why Muse remain awesome.

From JFK - running into Defective.

For we are opposed around the world

By a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy That relies primarily on covert means For expanding its sphere of influence

On infiltration instead of invasion On subversion instead of elections On intimidation instead of free choice On guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

It is a system which has conscripted Vast human and material resources Into the building of a tightly knit Highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic Intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised

Kids and marriage

We were talking about marriage today in R.E., namely Christian weddings and their traditions. Whilst I was asking the pupils what they already knew about weddings… One of my worse behaved students put his hand up quietly and said, "Miss, in Ireland they've just said that boys can marry boys and girls can marry girls". The rest of the class dissolved into giggles and shrieks of laughter, but this is normally silly boy remained unsmiling and unchanged. I waited until the rest of the class had calmed down before informing them that this was indeed true. I awarded the boy a star for being so mature about such a sensitive issue. I then informed them all that it was perfectly normal and acceptable for this to happen. Let's hope that some of this learning sticks and we end up having a better generation as a result of our teaching. Peace out.
