Are you, or someone you know, not sure if you support Occupy Wall Street?

This video is for you.

I can’t do it ok? I can’t pretend like I’m a normal sane person who can be in some happy relationship. I can’t. I just realized the other day that, and I’m completely serious about this, I want to hurt the people I think I love! Like, what does that even mean? Part of me just wants to rip out a heart and stomp on it until it blends with the gravel. I want to be the thing that destroys someone. It’s completely fucked up that I equate love to things like trauma and damage, isn’t it?

All of this just makes me think I haven’t healed or grown much at all since I realized things were really dead with that one person. Just one single person has completely changed my world and now I’m damaged through and through. I’m still in that state of mind where compassion is just this figment of my imagination. I feel so angry at everyone and for what reason?? Because it never worked out the way I planned? Because I was supposed to do things the correct way and I was going to find what I was missing and live happily ever after?

These circles just make me so fucking sick. I hate consistently moving forward and running backwards all the time. I can honestly blame every mental health problem I will ever have on this one fucking person and how does that even happen by the way? Did I let that happen and just not know it? Why would anyone want to fall in love just so they can spend the rest of their life as a fragile, damaged, little fraction of a person? Nobody warns you about that. “Hey, maybe don’t lose too much of yourself in this one person. Don’t put every last one of your eggs in that basket, fool.” I mean, come on. I’m not the first person to feel like this. A little warning would have been nice.

If you ran for like, a minute, it doesn’t make you a runner.

:( Infinite sads.

This photo is taken from where I used to smoke when I worked at the Indiana Senate. There were over 20,000 protesters yesterday and it is getting absolutely no national attention. It’s bigger than any teaparty protest ever was.

If you don’t know, Mitch Daniels (who is likely running for President) has been trying to pull the same shit that Walker is doing in Wisconsin. Except no one gives a shit about us. Our senators left for Chicago too.

This video is INCREDIBLY infuriating. 

First things first, fuck you very much, Rep. Paul for comparing the right to an abortion to the right to purchase a shitastically un-environmental toilet. 

Second, Rand Paul is 100% anti-choice when it comes to a woman’s right to an abortion.  That is important to know before viewing this garbage spew of hypocrisy and condescension.  From his website:

I am 100% pro life. I believe abortion is taking the life of an innocent human being.  I believe life begins at conception and it is the duty of our government to protect this life.

I will always vote for any and all legislation that would end abortion or lead us in the direction of ending abortion.

I believe in a Human Life Amendment and a Life at Conception Act as federal solutions to the abortion issue. I also believe that while we are working toward this goal, there are many other things we can accomplish in the near term.

I would strongly support legislation restricting federal courts from hearing cases like Roe v. Wade. Such legislation would only require a majority vote, making it more likely to pass than a pro-life constitutional amendment.

I would support legislation, a Sanctity of Life Amendment, establishing the principle that life begins at conception. This legislation would define life at conception in law, as a scientific statement.

BUT when talking about how the Obama administration is trying to regulate un-environmentally sound appliance and light bulbs from being sold in this country, this is the shit he says:

I find it really an affront to the sensibility of the idea and notion of free marketplace, of capitalism, of freedom of choice. […]

I find it really appalling and hypocritical and I think there should be some self-examination from the administration on the idea that you favor a woman’s right to an abortion but you don’t favor a woman or a man’s right to choose what kind of lightbulb, what kind of dishwasher, what kind of washing machine. […]

I really find it troubling this busybody nature that you want to come into my house my bathroom, my bedroom, my kitchen, my laundry room. I just really find it insulting. […]

In America, we believe in trying to convince our neighbors but not trying to convince them to the force of law, and I find this antithetical to the American way. […]

But the thing is you busy-body’s always want to do something to tell us how we can live our lives better.  Keep it to yourselves.  Try to convince us through persuasion.  But don’t put put us in jail or put us out of business if we don’t accept your way thinking.

You, sir, can’t see your hypocrisy because you are blinded by your super-white privilege.  It’s so bright, it hurts my eyes and burns my brain, too.

Senator Paul: PLEASE KEEP YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT MY BODY TO YOURSELF AND STFU about your stupid toilets.   

You and your anti-choice busy-body buddies need to stop trying, through the force of law (which you actively call for and support on your own website when it comes to abortion), to strip this RIGHT away from women.

I am unbelievably angry.

How difficult it must be to not be able to choose your refrigerator, you rich white man.

I’m not an expert but I’m guessing it’s not very healthy to be perfectly happy after days of uncontrollable sadness, all for no apparent reason. This winter is bringing me dowwwwn, mannn. I’ve never wanted sun and warmth so much in my entire life.

Is this what getting old is?

Everything she learns I’ve already known. So much wasted space on all these useless details. I wish I could get rid of the knowledge of you inside and out. I will never need to know what makes you happy or what makes you sad again. But it kills me that she gets to know all my favorite things about you. She gets to discover the better sides of you that no one else ever had a chance to see.
