Timothy Olyphant

You know...I didn't know that Timothy Olyphant was THE hitman in the movie, Hitman. And he's the male lead in my favorite movie of ALL time: The Broken Hearts Club.




Doesn't even look like him, does it? He's bald!

Glamour's Woman of the Year: Constance McMillen

Remember when that girl that wasn't allowed to take her girlfriend to prom, the school "cancelled" the prom, held a secret prom somewhere else for all the straight people, she found out, sued and won $116, 000? Well, she's Glamour magazine's Woman of the Year...That's what's up.

Melissa Etheridge tells Glamour that McMillen is a woman of the year because, “She stood up and said, ‘This is who I am.’ When someone does that, it changes the world. It gives hope.”

This is me...now

So...I haven't blogged about anything in a long time.

When I say long time...LONG TIME.

My last post was August 30th? Yeah...two full months of absolutely nothing.

I apologize if you read my blog. If you occasionally do, well, I apologize too. If no one is reading this...FU. Haha, just kidding. Seriously. Okay. I guess I'll update you all on my life.

2/3 of the fall semester is already over. Can you believe it? It's been such a rough semester that I haven't even taken time to notice the time. Honestly, this has been one of the roughest semesters I've had. It's been challenginng on many levels. Professionally, academically, and on a personal level too. At this point in my life, I'm ready for a break. You know? I've been going and going and going non-stop. Life just needs to slow down. Or better yet, STOP. I need to take the time to do me. I mean I did a lot of that this summer, but I worked. I did a lot of it already this semester too, but I'm still in school.

That's why I think I'll be waiting to go into grad school. Instead, I've decided to apply for the l'assistant de langue program in France. If I get accepted, I'll be a teaching assistant for an English teacher in either elementary, middle or high school. This is a wonderful opportunity that I might not be able to do again after grad school. It only makes sense that I do while I still can. Grad school will still be here when I get back. Going to France may never happen again for me.

I'm the kind of person who likes change. Especially when it comes to scenery and environment. I love Grand Valley, but I'm done. My soul, heart and mind are in a different place. It's been like that for a while now. It's just taken me a little time to realize that I need to move on to something else.

An Ally's Promise

I believe…

I believe success is the freedom to be yourself.

I believe nobody is wrong they are only different.

I believe your circumstances don’t define you, rather they reveal you.

I believe without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.

I believe our minds are like parachutes.

They only work if they are open.

I believe we only live life once, but if we live it right, one time is all we’ll need.

I believe we must first get along with ourselves before we can get along with others.

I will…

I will seek to understand you.

I will label bottles, not people.

I will grow antennas not horns.

I will see the diversity of our commonality.

I will see the commonality of our diversity.

I will get to know who you are rather than what you are.

I will transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness.

I challenge you…

I challenge you to honor who you are.

I challenge you to enjoy your life rather then endure it.

I challenge you to create the status quo rather than accept it.

I challenge you to live in your imagination more than your memory.

I challenge you to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution.

I challenge you to ignore other people’s ignorance so that you may discover your own wisdom.

I promise you…

I promise to do my part.

I promise to stand beside you.

I promise to interrupt the world when its thinking becomes ignorant.

I promise to believe in you, even when you have lost faith in yourself.

I am here for you.

BREAKING NEWS: Elizabeth Hasselback Supports Gay Marriage

The New Civil Rights Movement
by CALEB EIGSTI on AUGUST 17, 2010

"I am not ultra-ultra-conservative on every issue. I actually support gay marriage."

"...There are a lot of, maybe, conservatives out there who are talking about gay marriage and not necessarily with someone who wants to have gay marriage or has been in a gay marriage. You know, I had Melissa Etheridge over, we had dinner, we talked for hours about gay marriage, and I would really challenge people: Get out there. Instead of just talking about it and hating on it, actually talk to someone who’s loved someone else and have the conversation about what can be done…"
