As Time Goes By

I really think that if we didn't have the obstacle of time, life would be a lot simpler. I think that everyone would feel less tied down. They would feel more free and a hell of a lot happier. People stress themselves out over time and being on time, having enough time, not having enough time, being late, setting times that will work for everyone, making sure you give yourself enough time to do everything you need to do before you have to do that other thing at this time. It's crazy that our lives are run by an abstract, inanimate object. It is pointless. If you look at the late 60's into the mid 80's, the hippies, and I mean the real hippies, had pretty much no sense of time in their drug induced minds and look how stress free, peaceful and calm they were without it. Stress makes people mean. It makes them yell. If we didn't have time, I think there would be a lot less hate and anger in the world. It worked for millions of people in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Maybe sometime we should give it a try. It is a great feeling to be able to do things when you feel like it and when you want to do them without anyone to yell at you for being late or not doing something fast enough.

A fight with myself

I would really rather not talk about my flaws that I have. I refuse to promote something that will make me feel worse about myself. I can give you a huge list of all of the things that I think I'm bad at and I will only be more self conscious and upset about all of the things on that list. I will not argue with myself about things that I'm bad at. If I get in trouble for not doing the blog correctly then I will stick up for myself because I don't do that enough. I could fill a notebook with things that I dislike about myself. Instead I think I'll talk about some things that I like about myself that other people don't like but I don't care.
1. People think I am a weirdo because I am comfortable in my dirty hippie clothes. I love them and it's really about being comfortable in your own skin, which, I am. I wish more people would stop conforming to society's views and be open to free expression of one's self.
2. I love serial killers. People don't understand why and honestly I don't know either. I just have this obsession and I can't stop reading about them. I actually read an article this morning about 20 infamous child killers and I found it really interesting.
3. I am a pretty eccentric person. When I get excited about something, I'm excited. A lot of people don't like that about me. They get kind of freaked out but I really like that aspect about myself.

I'm the expert??

I think for this blog I will write about my stance on rape. I know a lot of people who are deeply affected by rape and sexual assault. I would like to bring up Brock Turner's case. When the whole controversy with his case started, I read a lot; and I mean A LOT, of articles on the case. I even attempted to track down the court transcript. I want to make this as clear as possible. RAPE IS RAPE. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN. IT IS NEVER THE VICTIM'S FAULT. A MAN DOES NOT RAPE A WOMAN BECAUSE OF WHAT SHE IS WEARING OR THE FACT THAT SHE IS TOO DRUNK TO SAY NO. HE RAPES HER BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF SOMETHING THAT IS NOT HIS TO TAKE. Rape also happens to men. It is not a gender specific action. I think that if someone says they were raped by a certain person, believe them because trauma like that is very serious and is usually not lied about. Does a dead man need to prove that he's dead in court? No? Then why force a rape victim to relive that death over and over again? IT IS WRONG. EVERYTHING ABOUT RAPE IS WRONG. I cannot stress that enough. There is a tumblr photo that I really appreciate. It is a photo of a PSA in a magazine. It's a fairly dark picture but it is clearly a lady lying on a bed. It is two pages and they are glued together. When you pull them apart there is a statement at the bottom that says, "If you have to use force, it is rape no matter what."
