No longer a family but biology

You know, I’d never think I would say this, but I think I’m fading away from my family, or vise versa. Recently, anytime I come home, there’s some form of drama that includes how they don’t enjoy my views. For those of you who commented on my status earlier today on Facebook, THANK YOU! Thank you VERY much! I truly appreciate it. For anyone who didn’t get to see the status, it read “its sad that I can't feel welcome around my own family. =(“ The main reason behind this is pretty much what I have already explained. I come home to people throughout my family talking about me behind my back about my sexual preference, how I have ‘changed.’ I’m just sick of it. For example: one day, I head out to my fathers place which is a farm off a dirt road in the country. After going to his place and visiting, I head back to my grandparents farm back closer to town. When I get there, my truck is completely full of dust from the dirt road. Nothing is on it though, written or imprinted. One of my cousins were at the farm when I got there, working on a tractor or something. After visiting my grandmother for an hour or so, I go back to my truck to leave to notice that my truck had something written in cursive on my back window “faggot.” Pretty polite, eh? There was only two people there at the time, my grandmother (who was with me the whole time, and my cousin outside. Hmmm, let’s think about this. Another instance is this past Thanksgiving. I come home to spend time with the family and I get nothing but “are you coming to church with us? You should" and silence. Most of the time was small talk like “hey, what's up, hope schools well, nice to see you again.” Not once did anyone truly ask how I was. Oh well. The gist of the status, I don’t know why I come back to Indiana anymore. I hope things improve. I always have to put on a happy face when I’m around. I shouldn’t have to. this is who I am. Thanks to everyone who’s talked to me and welcomed me. I appreciate it. Sorry for such a negative blog. I just miss having a FAMILY, not people who have to love me because of biology.


Thank you to TJ and the Sanders family as well as the Iota Delta chapter and the Lambda Lambda chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi for keeping me a family to hold onto. Thank you to all my friends in Towson and Indiana State University music department and anyone I come in contact with. =) Thank you

6 years ago

I waited in line 6 years ago at the local BMV in podunk Crawfordsville, Indiana to take both a written and driven exam to get my drivers license. Two years later, I flop myself down in Terre Haute, Indiana on the campus of Indiana State University and wait in another line to get another form of I.D. Another two years later, I stand in yet again, another line., at Towson University, and hopefully my last university unless I attend grad school. So, 6 years later I have accumulated these three glorious photos of myself. I just though I would share them with you. I shouldn’t have to describe them . Enjoy!

age difference

I put it up mainly because I always end up pulling out all three to show people when they ask to see the difference. I’ll be updating the license one in February when I turn TWENTY ONE! Whoop Whoop. That’s all. Merry Holidays!
