Deadlines Are A Human Construct. Life Is Always On Time.
Graduating college later
than I anticipated is a blessing
*
And I never thought I'd say something
so ridiculously counterintuitive
*
I spoke with my colleagues
about what our career plans are
after we all get our most
expensive piece of paper
*
They all said the same thing
"I really don't know."
"I haven't thought about it."
"I hope something good."
*
Then they asked me
and I hit them with my
5, 10, and 20 year plans
*
They all make fun of me
because they know I'm older
Although they don't know
by how much
*
I laugh with them knowing
at least I know what I want

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
