What is up!?
I may seem enthusiastic, but actually I am on the verge of breaking something. I flipping forgot to be smart for a milli-second and locked my keys in my car. Now, I am sure most of you have done this before, but this is my fourth time forgetting my keys! I can understand once or twice, but whatever. And after doing that, I came home and found out that I cannot use PowerPoint for my senior project... It has just been such a great day. Which in fact, when I think about days, all you can really think about is how crazy the next ten are going to be.
The next ten weeks translates into one word: graduation. That can be a good or bad word, so I tend to not think of it very often. To graduate, there are certain requirements such as the Senior Project. I am now in a position where I have to make multiple posters and roll with that idea, instead of making a fun and easy PowerPoint. Just barely yesterday I started working on my portfolio, which was easy, but the actual project might be a little tricky. However, I love creativity and originality so I will try and have fun with it. But mostly what is occupying my mind is my Gay Rights speech tomorrow.
Gay Rights is a very important but touchy subject to me. Though I do not have many friends and family that are homosexual, I still support the cause very strongly! Homosexuals are constantly being judged and discriminated against by people who either believe in a book written five hundred years ago or who just enjoy being a jerk. Morgan Freeman is one of my all time favorite celebrities and he says, " I hate the word homophobia. It's not a phobia. You're not scared. You're an asshole." Now that might be a bit too blunt for some of you, but blunt is my middle name, so get over it. can't stand people who bring up reasons that they cannot even explain. Some people say that God does now "allow" homosexuality. I always reply with a simple answer such as, " doesn't God love everyone?" Please try and explain to me how God loves everyone except homosexuals? It does not make sense and so obviously some of you are incorrect. Other people say that homosexuals cannot reproduce. Well there is such a thing called adoption, which I am highly recommending even for myself because there are already to many homeless, starving, parent less children in our world. Most strangers, after hearing my above comments, say how controlling and disagreeable I must be. But, I assure you, I am just sharing my opinion, and you have the right not to listen, so don't complain. Though I will say, I am open to listening to others opinions, but if I know I will most likely never agree, then I usually move on to the next conflict. Which reminds me...
Conflicts. On Saturday, March 9th, my mother decided she was having an awful day for no reason, so she turned into Godzilla and fought with me all day. One of our fights surrounded the topic that I still have not found a job. I listened to the same old complaints she has for about ten minutes. During that excruciatingly long time, all I could really think about was how, though I feel very bad, I do not feel bad about staying home rather than having multiple doors slammed in my face. I believe the only reason I do not currently have a job, is because people seem to not want to give me a chance. I was given a chance once, back in February of 2012, and that chance got me four hours a week for six month's until I finally quit. I can't deny that I was sick of receiving twenty dollar pay checks every two weeks and a lovely disrespectful employer every time I showed up for work. But, it is how it is and now instead of silently fighting with my boss, I actually fight with my mother. By fight, I mean mostly listen because usually I am to lazy to actually state my case when I know my mother won't listen. Listening is key in a conversation and I bet most would agree that talking to a wall is not the greatest experience one can have.
That is all I would like to share with you guys today, so thanks for listening! Until nextime.
