Ode to USA



America has a lot of things
That makes it very good.
I can’t name them all right,
If I think hard I could!

Don't talk about the bad stuff,
'Cause it makes people mad,
Because that either didn't happen,
Or it is not that bad.
Yes, it did not happen,
Or it is not that bad.

 All the good things that are there
Are too numerous to list,
That’s why I’m not naming them,
I'm sure you get the gist.

Ignore all the death,
Just put those thoughts away,
Because that either didn't happen,
Or would have happened anyway.
Yes, it did not happen,
Or would have happened anyway.

I'm thinking of the great things now,
There's really lots and lots.
I promise, they are really good
They're all inside my thoughts!

Forget all the violence,
Please put those facts aside,
Because that either didn't happen,
Or it was justified.
Yes, it did not happen,
Or it was justified.

Making Sacrifices in Housing Choices: The Millennial Reality

Millennials get a lot of criticism from older generations like Baby Boomers and ancient spirits trapped in the old tree outside my dentist's office. Some of it is fair, but most of it, in my experience, is unfair. I think any generation has members who complain too much, are entitled, or think the world revolves around them, so w hen I hear people criticizing Millennials as "selfish" or "lazy" or "crying too loudly in the Taco Bell drive thru," I can't help but roll my eyes. In all honesty, most Millennials I know are  selfless, determined, and only cry in the drive thru at Wendy's. Many  of us are struggling to survive in an economic climate that doesn't give us the jobs we went to school for, so we have made a lot of sacrifices in order to make ends meet. For instance, I have recently begun living life as a house cat in order to stay with a couple rent-free. It took a lot of humility for me to agree to live this way. I had been s...

Now is Not the Time to Politicize the Tragedies That Have Happened Inside This Haunted House

In wake of recent events, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims who went missing after our group split up inside the abandoned house to find any valuable heirlooms that had been left behind after the late homeowner died under mysterious circumstances. This tragedy is unspeakable, because many of our mouths have been sealed shut by some otherworldly substance, and I send my warmest condolences to whichever dimension our friends’ souls are tethered to. Right now is a time for consoling the survivors, and mourning the loss of our beloved companion, who told us that she didn't believe in ghosts, right before a phantom emerged from a dusty hallway mirror and pulled her into it. We will never forget the terrified look in her eyes as she pounded her fists on the glass that she was trapped behind. My thoughts and prayers are also with the couple who we heard screaming in what we believe was the very bedroom where the dead body of a priest was found, his lifeless hands clutchin...

9 Questions to NEVER Ask a Gay Person

As a gay person, it’s common to get frustrating questions. If you consider yourself an ally and have asked one of these before, reconsider how you interact with queer people! 1 .) "How many people have you killed?" Wow... just, no. The fact that someone dates people of the same gender does NOT mean they're also a serial murderer. Don't just assume that your gay coworker has a mass grave in their backyard: if they've taken the lives of several people, trust me, they'll tell you! 2.)  " So who's the man and who's the woman in the relationship? " Not everyone speaks English. Its offensive to assume that everyone speaks the same language as you. Newsflash: America doesn't have a national language, so not everyone is going to know what you're saying. Try to be understanding of the fact that some Americans never learned English. 3.)  " What's the circumference of the earth? " There's nothin...

CULTURE MUSINGS: How is the new Aladdin different from the original?

This Memorial Day weekend, Disney released Aladdin, the live-action version of one of its most popular movies based on the life of U.S. President Warren G. Harding's youngest son. While the adaption mostly stays true to the original, some eagle-eyed fans might have noticed these changes in Guy Ritchie's remake. The events of the live action film do not end up causing the Hindenburg disaster. It is heavily implied in the 1992  Aladdin  film that the main character inadvertently creates a chain reaction through history that end up resulting in the 1937 explosion of the Hindenburg, starting with a chase scene at the beginning of the film. As Aladdin runs from palace guards, he bumps into a man who looks very similar to Ludwig Durr, the designer of the Hindenburg. John Musker and Ron Clements, the directors of the animated film, confirmed in several interviews that the man is indeed the airship designer's ancestor, and that Aladdin's collision with him has dire conse...
