"Welcome to the North."

So funny. But its George Carlin, so lots of profanity…*warning*

A real ol’ fashion post…

It’s been a while since I’ve done a journal entry style post. I’ve been super busy with homework, but I feel like I’m relatively on top of it. It freaks me out to think about continuing at this pace until next fall….one day at a time though! My day has lots of little happy moments spread out in it. The morning starts with furry kisses/snuggles from Franklin, then the smell of coffee and breakfast with my sweetheart. Usually the rest of my day consists of class/homework/night class. But I have a pretty sweet schedule since I only have class from Tuesday to Thursday.  Still, I’m super excited about moving back to Austin. Adventures can get kind of long…this one feels more like a journey. But I’m almost home. I can’t wait to wake up at the crack of dawn with the Uhaul loaded and ready to go and then hit I-35 south.

Pink Zebra Ninja Shoes

r0bertbrowniejr:

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.

She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”

Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it. 

However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.” 

My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.

Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)
