Responsibility Begins With Sight

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated and we barely make it. We don't need to understand, there are miracles.

Can’t wait for his next film. I really didn’t understand Primer, but that’s what made it so good.

Trying to calm my nerves for the flight tomorrow. My anxiety has been up and down the past few days. I need to enjoy Portland. I’m only bringing two assignments with me: creative writing manuscripts to critique, and Ulysses. That’s it. I didn’t finish my honors project. I’ll finish it next week.

I’m trying to accept that I don’t have to have everything down perfectly. That others won’t look down on me for making mistakes.

My throat feels all tight. I just want to be calm.

Need to write a rough draft by tomorrow. No idea what time, but preferably before the evening. Still need to pack, but mostly done. 

I should stay up and do some of this now, but I’m getting tired. Sleep wins.

 Chromatic Typewriter Prints

Tyree Callahan has recycled (or upcycled, perhaps) a classic 1937 Underwood typewriter by replacing letters with sponges soaked across the spectrum with bright yellows, reds, blues and combinations thereof.

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new ‘gang’ way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone. 

I will always reblog things like this, it won’t ruin your blog or the look of it, and this could potentially save a life.

this might not be the same for you as it is for me but

repeat after me:

  • YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR GPA

Lord knows I need this reminder.

For readers interested in learning more about how not to be labeled as registered sex offenders, a good first step is not to rape unconscious women, no matter how good your grades are. Regardless of the strength of your GPA (weighted or unweighted), if you commit rape, there is a possibility you may someday be convicted of a sex crime. This is because of your decision to commit a sex crime instead of going for a walk, or reading a book by Cormac McCarthy. Your ability to perform calculus or play football is generally not taken into consideration in a court of law. Should you prefer to be known as ‘Good student and excellent football player Trent Mays’ rather than ‘Convicted sex offender Trent Mays,’ try stressing the studying and tackling and giving the sex crimes a miss altogether…

Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richardson are not the “stars” of the Steubenville rape trial. They aren’t the only characters in a drama playing out in eastern Ohio. And yet a CNN viewer learning about the Steubenville rape verdict is presented with dynamic, sympathetic, complicated male figures, and a nonentity of an anonymous victim, the ‘lasting effects’ of whose graphic, public sexual assault are ignored. Small wonder, then, that anyone would find themselves on the side of these men—these poor young men, who were very good at taking tests and playing sports when they were not raping their classmates.

Her commentary is spot on.
