He [Rick Santorum] is a staunch opponent of abortion, even in the case of rape. Even in the case of rape, telling CNN recently that a woman, in that case, should, and I quote, ‘make the best out of a bad situation, and accept the gift from God.’ Wow. I think women should say the same thing to Santorum, Andy, after from now until the end of his weaselly life, they see him in the street and kick him in the fucking balls. ‘Please accept this gift from God, Rick, this pointed-shoed gift to your plums. Why are you rolling around on the ground crying, Rick? Please make the best out of this bad situation. In fact, rejoice, because I believe another lady is coming over to gift you with another high-velocity nut shot. Praise be, Rick! God is graciously raining gifts into your groinal area, you fucking douche.’

Scattered
As he walks down the street thinking about life he wishes he could do more. He wishes to write and to express himself artistically. Though right now this comes as a challenge. When writers block sets in. The words cease to flow. The desire for creativity turns into stress. Knowing that every direction he only sees darkness. Knowing that little support is to be found.
What should he do? His money tree has long since died. And countless inquiries bring no hope in sight. He once again is brought back to the thought of his artistic abilities. Though his mind has been scattered across the darkness of the land.
He has a couple flags. The first flag is white. Which obviously represents surrendering. Yet he is not ready to surrender. Nor does he see that as an option. The second flag has many colors. This flag represents victory. Yet this isn’t just any victory. This victory would be monumental. This victory would go to show all his offenders that he can succeed in anything. This is the flag he wishes to display for all to see.
Yet first he must find a light in this dark place. Something to show him that things can get better. Someone to finally be encouraging in success and failure. That will plant good words upon his mind. That will counteract the darkness that others have led him to.
Will he find his guide? It is hard to tell. Though I have my fingers crossed for him.
Belief or Conviction
Too often I hear people saying things they “believe” and it never has anything thought behind it. How do I know this? Because I ask questions. I will ask questions til the end of time. And best believe that once I am done I will probably have a different view of the person in question. Why? Well these things they “believe” are believed because someone else said so. They believe them because of a person that man has given power said so. Or even because society says it should be a certain way. Then again we do give society it’s power as well.
One should always be asking themselves; why do I believe this? Views should constantly be under the microscope. It takes time to sort through things, and truth sometimes will make itself known down the road. Views should be held due to personal conviction. So please ask yourself; what do I think, and for what reasons do I feel this way? If you wont do this please stop challenging those of us who actually have thought processes behind what we believe.
The Fight
Every day I fight for greater. Sometimes it takes all my might. It can be quite a sight. When my darkest hours were darker than expected. I wish I could lighten it up with a magic marker. Tragic things have brought tears to me for years. I swear I wont drink them away with a beer. Yet with everything accounted for the only thing I don’t fear is not being here to shed another tear. Maybe a year will come when I don’t have to shed my tears alone. And the beauty of the strength that comes with each tear will be known.
