“…Watch, phone, wallet, keys, I whisper to myself as I pull on a jacket and head for the door.”
That has been my carry list since the end of high school. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with only those.
While I’m not convinced the Apple Pay is going to remove my need for a wallet, it might yield a smaller wallet. Sometimes a hair less is more than enough of an improvement.

Emma Watson is a pretty stellar individual. Given the opportunity, she gave an amazing speech to hundreds, advocating for gender equality, as well as a movement that debunked any potential “man-hating” notion that the anti-feminists would otherwise use. And of course, the video was seen by hundreds of thousands of individuals, many of them being men and boys who are now avidly supporting HeForShe.
I am loving the overflow of support for the #HeForShe campaign, which advocates gender equality in all ways possible. And as such, I am hating the outburst of those who cry foul, who threaten the campaign, but also Emma Watson with potential slander.
Nevertheless, the HeForShe campaign continues to grow stronger, fuller, and more realized by a growing community that believes in gender equality. I like the idea of us all being treated as human beings, and not anything less than that.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH – And yet I still cried…
Oh christ i’m crying and laughing at the same time.
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

How have I not been doing this?
What should you do when you come across something wrong? For some bright-eyed students out there the answer is to confront the issue. In Arvada Colorado newly elected school board members proposed they revamp their AP US History to “promote citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free enterprise system, respect for authority and respect for individual rights. Additionally, they should present positive aspects of the United States. The last line is the ultimate in projecting, insisting coverage of political and social movements should "present balanced and factual treatment” of the information.
These students view this proposal as whitewashing of the ugly truth behind our country. Instead of grousing but still going to class, rolling their eyes and doing their damnedest to make the teacher miserable (guilty as charged) they choice to walk the fuck out and make their point. These students did something and by acting the school board is under greater scrutiny. Their opening salvo was a success.
