Apprenticeship
I’m thinking about becoming an apprentice in a tattoo shop soon. Most likely this summer. Gonna have to work hard.
Anyone have ideas for my practice skins?
Until Then
I wish I could wake up with you everyday
Feeling your breath on my neck
Your fingers touching my skin
Your lips warmth on my cheek
And the sound of your heart beating with mine.
Till those days I will cross my fingers and keep waiting
You make it so much easier with how you love me and how much care about me and about us
And to show I care I wrote your name in the sky
But It was lost among the clouds
I wrote your name with leaves
And the wind blew it away
So I decided I should write it on my skin
But Till then I wrote it in my heart
And I know there forever it will stay
A poem from my soul ♥

Cauchemar Day 150:
I’m loosing track of everything. My days, my work, my friends, everything. Whats going on?
another broken night
And at this exact moment in time, I’m crying my heart out. Its been this way for the past few weeks. I cry my heart and soul out into the empty air. My breath escapes me like smoke and wind. I can never stop the tears. I wish they would stop. I wish I could stop being so weak. I hate crying. I can’t breathe. What happened to me? When did everything go so wrong? Why? When? Someone save me before I drown myself. Why can’t things be perfect, if only for a moment….
Sent to the Back of the Bus for Having Two Mommies? →
womensrights.change.org
A 12-year-old girl in Kentucky was forced to sit, isolated from the other students, in the back of a school bus by order of the driver. For what cause? The student has two mommies, and objected to homophobic talk by others on the bus. But Michael A. Jones reports on Gay Rights that the bus driver, Ronell Mattingly, found the homophobia amusing, and when she found out the girl was the daughter of same-sex parents, also insulted and mocked her.
The girl informed the Mattingly she was a “jerk,” for which she got suspended from the bus for a few days, and upon returning was sent to the back of the bus (reminiscent of segregation much?). The bus driver, on the other hand, seems to have been given a free pass. Oh, and when the girls’ parents protested that their daughter was being punished for standing up for their family? The Assistant Principal said the 12-year-old should grow “thicker skin.”
This isn’t the first time a child has been punished by a school for having same-sex parents; just a couple days ago, we learned that a Massachusetts Catholic school was off-limits to an eight-year-old with two mommies, and in March, we heard that a four- and five-year-old in Boulder, Colorado, were going to bekicked out at the end of the year for the sin of having two parents who are both female. But this case is a little different, because the school in question is a public institution. So, do you want your tax dollars going to support homophobia?
One other thing: the bus driver, Mattingly, had the audacity to demand that the girl to apologize to her. She aggressively demanded a written apology, which the girl’s family had already decided was definitely not going to happen, forcing the girl to stop riding the school bus again to escape being harassed. The only apology that should be happening is from the school, to the girl and her family, and the driver should be the one kicked off the bus.
