Houston Elects First Openly Gay Mayor

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 02:03:00 -0600

castofmind:

progress will happen.

I just tweeted this :)

Here are my comments/remarks:

ABOUT TIME! I am thoroughly shocked and very happy that the city of Houston supported this woman. I grew up in Houston all my life before coming to college in Austin and to honestly speak, it the city wasn’t the nicest when it came to glbt people. I remember in my high school the administration made some rule about limiting PDA among students. I’m sure high school always had that problem with people groping/humping/fondling in the hallway. However randomly one day on the intercom, Ms. Rose announces that if people are caught showing excessive displays of PDA, one week the girl will be sent to ISS and the next week the boy will be sent to ISS. Then she mentions if the participating parties are of the same sex, one week the shorter of the two will get disciplinary action and the other week the taller one would. BIZARRE ABRUPT RULING! My high school was weird and somewhat homophobic. I could go on and on about it but I won’t. (well not in this entry at least)

Anyways…forgot my point…okay I somewhat remember the newly elected mayor in Houston and how happy I am for her and the rest of the city for finally making a step towards progress. I am excited because I didn’t really expect it from Houston but I’m glad that this happened. Maybe now more people can get educated about how gay people are just as equal as heterosexual people and that they deserve the same rights as everybody else when it comes to stuff like marriage, domestic partner benefits etc.

Houston is a diverse city and it’s important for the children growing up in Houston to appreciate all forms of diversity. I know while growing up, I had to deal with discrimination too much in a very multicultural city. Makes no sense. It wasn’t until I came to Austin that I learned what being gay was really about and how I should celebrate this part of my identity rather than hide it fearing to be discovered and discriminated against my desire for women. I’m glad Houston is making progress in that direction because it is where my family lives and where I grew up & hope to settle down one day with my love.

After living in Austin for three years as a college student, I felt that Austin was in a way more comfortable than Houston because people here are so open-minded and accepting of the gay community. But it’s wonderful to see my home city making progress. & it’s even more wonderful to mention to my very conservative/closed-minded father that he now works for a lesbian woman as a City of Houston employee. Hopefully he’ll learn to appreciate the gay community more rather than grimace every time something overtly homosexual (Perez Hilton, Adam Lambert, Miss J) pops up on TV. Because truth is we are all people and no one is superior or inferior to one another based on classifications such as race, gender, sexual orientation etc. We are all just people who want to live life and enjoy it to the best of our abilities. Nobody’s beliefs should put a damper on that right everyone is entitled to. Coexist. Be happy.

So Ms. Parker I wish you good luck and congratulations for leading the space city. I’m sure you’ll take us to the moon! BLAST-OFF! Go ROCKETS!

I plan on doing a cover on this one day someone gets inside of me and decides to interpret me the wrong way. Sucks that no one even tries.

Sabotage - Kristinia DeBarge

I keep praying she’ll leave me alone
But she keeps waiting outside of my home
I’ve got an angel on the left saying “Don’t give in”
But the devil on the right is saying “Let her in”
She won’t stop kicking down my door, oh

Each time I tried to play the good girl
I let myself get in the way
I tried so hard to fight the bad girl
She’s here to stay

Some lyrics cannot be more true and written with me in mind.

"At some point I realized that boys and girls are taught differently about how to keep their intimate..."

“At some point I realized that boys and girls are taught differently about how to keep their intimate regions clean. My mother placed great importance on the hygiene of my pussy but none at all on that of my brother’s penis. He’s allowed to piss without wiping and to let the last few drops dribble into his underwear.”

- Taken from Wetlands by Charlotte Roche

There is some truth to this. Society always place standards on girls to make sure she presents herself as clean. The same standard is not imposed upon boys. A girl has to sit herself down all prettily on the toilet seat (by pretty I mean uncomfortably), do her business, and then carefully wipe away any possible residue that might taint her undies. Boys when they piss unzip, do his business standing up, and walk away. They can even do it in a bottle if they so desired. Oh the dichotomy.

Book Review: Wetlands by Charlotte Roche

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:03:00 -0600

The girl in the book is a crazy interesting. You should read the English version of this book. I couldn’t stop laughing and feeling funny after reading it. Like getting drunk without the liquor. Roche really elevates your senses and makes you aware of the many parts to a woman’s body. The sensory imagery she uses is dangerous and uncouth but that feeds your thirst for the next thing Helen Memel (the novel’s protaganist) reveals. Throughout reading the whole novel you are thirsty. Making that shocked “Oh no she didn’t face” and then surrendering to the next page and the page after that until the book is done.

James Spiteri

If you’re into calm piano music on warm winter nights, he’s the guy for you. He’s influenced by composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, & James Horner.

Listen to “February” by this guy!

I find this song to be something Einaudi would create with it’s soft melodic start towards the beginning and then climaxing into a uptempo symphony towards the end also reminiscent of Einaudi’s style but with a bit more exclusiveness which is not surprising for this young 20 year old composer from the United Kingdom. Check out more of his music and follow his tweets. Perfect background music to keep you sane and stabilize your heartbeat and throbbing head during final exam crunch time.

“The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.”

- Cavalier Flair

So why do we have to take tests. At this point I’m relying on my ideology that aim for C (passing) and not worry about the rest. Make that C on the test for the purpose of completing an administrative checklist. Learn my own way (without rules, tests, just plain spontaneity) but just make sure I learn what I need to learn. Just learn it so that I know it and can make it useful. School is totally like an all you can eat buffet that you pay a ridiculous amount of tuition for. It is wise to eat all that you could to make most of your money. But it’s just money lost. You’ve gained coagulation in your arteries and excess inches to your waist which may lead to further health/psychological problems. For now, I’ll just savor the good stuff as little in portion as it comes. Just enough to sustain me and satisfy my tummy. The rest is all just junk that I will somehow need to get rid of/forget about anyway. So why cram it all in. I have these thoughts at 5:40 a.m. in the morning. Now back to preparing for that “all important” test.

It’s final exam time.

"We make our own fortunes and call them fate."

“We make our own fortunes and call them fate.”

- This is what Gossip Girl said and I found some truth to it. Like when someone “pursues” someone and gets them. Then they’re go on that whole “We are meant to be together” train only to find out once the pursuer’s real identity surfaces all you want to do is destroy the fate you got yourself into.
