My Daily Blip

My father is no longer following me on Twitter. Sucks when relationships are broken over social media.

No matter how “noble” or “good” your reasoning behind it is, it will NEVER be ok. I’m DISGUSTED that they are mostly serious about the necessity.

When you approach me and say, “Hey, I haven’t seen you since the election. What do you think about your people and their rioting and nonsense?” I am not inclined to answer. It’s a trap question. You have an opinion, and it’s opposite of mine. 

It may be difficult to see, but the word "FREE" is written into the flag emblem outside the main office at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. From November 20, 1969, to June 11, 1971, the Indians of All Tribes forcibly occupied Alcatraz Island to bring awareness to the plight of Native Americans in the US and etched painted "FREE." "The Occupation of Alcatraz had a direct effect on federal Indian policy and established a precedent for Indian activism." This Thanksgiving, remember the opposite side of the story. #indiginouspeoplesday #vscocam #alcatraz #longshoretravels (at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary)

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

An excerpt from Obama's 2008 victory speech in Chicago. It brings tears to my eyes: "If there is anyone out there who still... wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time... tonight is your answer... It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of better day... This is your victory. "

"It's the fucking same" - my sister, as she goes back inside.

The "I lived through Obama, you'll live through Trump" people need to remember that Obama didn't say terrible things about people. He governed with class.

"When I thought, 'My foot slips,' your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul." - Psalm 94:18,19 || #cheermysoul #vscocam #bibleverse #bible #lacreaciónhoycanta #latergram #longshoretravels #longshoreeuropeadventurepart2 #cliffsofmoher #ireland #igireland #travelireland #psalms (at Cliffs of Moher)

That is BULLSHIT. If we never try to change things, things will never change. History proves that change does happen. So let’s make it change. Let’s be advocates for good. For love and equality. Fuck the people who tell you otherwise.

I have no idea what’s going to happen, but let’s hope that Trump realizes that he will be President over all the citizens of this country.

🎶I’m a man on fire Walking down your street With one guitar And two dancing feet Only one desire That’s left in me I want the whole damn world To come and dance with me Yay, yay.
