When you’ve already done so much meta on something that you end up quoting yourself every time you write something new:

howling--fantods

Come evening I rolled through its streets, listening for the voices of my father, my mother, me as a child. I’d pass by the old stores and Victorian homes of Freehold and daydream…of purchasing a house, moving back, away from all the noise I’d created, bringing it all full circle, fixing things, receiving the blessing of these streets, finding a love, one that would last, marrying and walking through town, my children in my arms, my woman at my side. It was a pleasant fantasy and I suppose I took comfort in the illusion that I could go back. But I’d been around long enough to know history is sealed and unchangeable. You can move on, with a heart stronger in the places it’s been broken, create new love. You can hammer pain and trauma into a righteous sword and use it in defense of life, love, human grace and God’s blessings. But nobody gets a do-over. Nobody gets to go back and there’s only one road out. Ahead, into the dark.

“Happy Birthday, Frida Kahlo! 🎂🎉

Today marks the birth of one of Mexico’s most famous artists – Frida Kahlo. Frida would often lie about her birthday to coincide with the start of the Mexican Revolution on July 7, 1910. Born to a German father and a Mesitza mother, Frida grew up defying gender norms and enjoyed dressing in men’s clothing from a young age and was encourage by her father to do so.

In her youth, Frida was a prominent student on her way to becoming a doctor before polio and a devastating bus accident left her permanently disabled. A communist, feminist, and artist, Frida’s work centered around gender, race, love, and pain in what many have deemed surrealist art although she was not fond of the categorization.

Throughout her life Frida would stand with workers and oppressed peoples in Mexico in beyond. In fact, she rallied the courage to protests despite severe illness after the U.S. ousted President Jacob Arbenz in Guatemala. Today we honor her unforgettable legacy and spirit.”

“Open your eyes and look at me. No, I don’t think I will kiss you. Although you need kissing badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how.”

– Gone With The Wind, 1939.

“Gone With the Wind is a tremendous expression of female power, because you’ve got not only Scarlett O’hara, you’ve got the constant dynamic of women holding society together as it falls apart, as the men go and fight the wars. It’s the women that are actually waging a deeper and more sentimental war at home.“ -F.X. Feeney
