“I know I may not be “traditionally pretty,” but playas line up around the block to make some time with me, and they aren’t even getting it right then. The line is just for the wristband, yo. The hotness is not about age, looks, body type, race - it is about honesty, knowing who you are and being who you are, without trying to front like you are different than you are. It is about the down deep authenticity of self, then living it, loving it and looking it.”—
Margaret Cho
I love Margaret Cho so much. She inspires me to be more confident.

Well the holiday season is upon us. Time to be good little consumers and buy the latest, hippest gifts. Because, you know, Jesus was a free-market capitalist and all.
Anyways, my right wing brethren, this post isn’t about that. It’s about the holiday memories I have.
When I was a kid, Christmas meant standing in line at Goodwill or Shriners with my mom, to get a box of food for Christmas dinner. She would go later by herself, to get a box of toys so we could have gifts. I once told my mom that I never wanted to end up on welfare or food stamps as an adult, because it was embarrassing. I asked her how she handled the embarrassment, and she told me she couldn’t worry about that, she had to make sure her kids were happy.
But I wouldn’t expect you to understand that, right-wingers. You all think that everyone has the same chances, the same opportunities. You think of social services as handouts for the lazy. If you ever are having a face to face conversation with me and say that, I will fuck you up. My mother was anything but lazy. But circumstances dictated that my siblings and myself were born poor. through no fault of our own, we were poor. You and your children were born into money. Clothes, food, shelter - these things don’t concern you. You’re more worried about whether you should get the Benz or the Bimmer.
Even your kids. They get all the “cool” clothes without having to worry about it. My school clothes were bought on lay-away at Kmart. This was fine until about high school, when the other kids started noticing. I couldn’t go to school dressed in that shit, I would be made fun of endlessly. So I got a job at McDonald’s when I was 14. Not to save for college, not to save for a car. To buy school clothes.
So, in closing, if you’re a conservative or libertarian: don’t come around here talking your stupid shit about equality. You don’t know the meaning of the word.
Hoping Windows MRT will fix it
