Selfish

http://mimiandeunice.com/2010/07/27/selfish/

Most would like to believe that selfishness is evil and shouldn't be practiced, but when you're constantly putting others before your own happiness then what do you accomplish in life? I like to think we have to have some streak of selfishness in order to be happy in life. Not sacrificing someone else's happiness just putting your own needs and wants before another (when it is appropriate). 

So we should accept there are things in this world that we desire and that's ok - regardless of someone else's belief. I'll usually put myself first if it's a case of sacrificing my overall happiness or another's pride/acceptance - because from my view if they have pride in hurting or belittling others it's not worth a thing, and their acceptance isn't worth my own pain.

Watch Whoopi herself tell off the presidents of Nigeria and Uganda. I abolutely adore her! She is an awesome and understanding person.

Thank You to the LGBT of YouTube!

This is going to be quite lengthy and I'm going to name as many YouTubers as I can think of so please bear with me. I'm going to list their channel names and link them here:

• Supdaily06
• UppercaseCHASE1
• DaveyWavey
• Mallow610
• Laford66
• HaleyStarShow
• Quierd
• Gaygod
• Jennifer Cohen-Taylor
• GirlfriendsTV

I'll let you guys know right now that when I first discovered or rather started watching YouTube for entertainment I had no idea it would blow up this much. Needless to say it's become such a huge success. 

During the weekends I would start casually watching videos on YouTube just interested in entertainment. I don't remember how I learned about the LGBT community. I wasn't aware that the acronym even existed until I was 17 years old. 

But I first subscribed to Davey Wavey who is one of YouTube's most well known gay YouTuber, and from there learned about other LGBT YouTubers. But all of them had an amazing amount of positive energy and sent out inspiring messages to their viewers. I would suggest checking these people out. 

Rant Post - I have a Confession

I like my femininity. I like that I look like female. That does not make me any less of a man! There are transgendered men who participate in drag, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. There is nothing that constitutes being a real man, and for those who do not like it they don't have to deal with it. 

I feel that a topic such as this shouldn't involve the acknowledgment of the whole town, and people shouldn't have to deal with people cursing at them for being who they are. I don't see that happening in the near future unfortunately - though I do have to say that transgender people have come along way. 

But it's gotten to the point that "freedom of speech" should have limitations, and there is so much conflict in the world that even I get worried if as a world we can ever learn to coexist. Because I've never learned prejudice against ANYONE... Alright but I did learn a little prejudice against Christians because the ones I grew up around aren't very nice people. The point is that it was LEARNED - initially I had no hate towards anyone until those people did wrong against me. 

Tranny Wednesday - Feb 19 2014

You guys are probably aware that Jenny is my ultimate inspiration on YouTube. She always... Well that's an extreme but she seems to be able to put her best face on in order to make some elses day better, and she has a lot of good days which she makes others feel awesome for being trans*. 

She does also provide, for those who are religious, with support from the Christian community. 

I would suggest if you're having a hard time with your own transition to watch some of her videos and have a laugh. Seriously guys LAUGH!! Have a good time life would be boring if we took everything in life seriously. 

Monday - eating with Jace

Today I decided to start off with our breakfast for the start of this year. 

The things you'll need: half a avacado and Roma tomato, two eggs, jalapeños (preferred amount), and whatever condiment you prefer with eggs (I used BBQ sauce). 

Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray an pre-heat (pre-heating the oil will give extra insurance that the food won't stick). Put your vegetables in first along with the jalapeños, sauté until the avacado starts browning, and the tomatoes become mushy. Add the egg in at this point. 

You can make this into an omlent if you prefer; if you were to take the veggies out and fold then into the omlet this might make it more pleasing to the eye. 

I chose to just scramble the egg since I wasn't giving this to someone else. And EAT!

Notes: if you are someone coming from eating larger portions I'd suggest adding a serving of rice. 

Additional post

Originally I wanted to post only a couple days a week. But I thought it be smarter to post random post in between, so I'm not sure if they are going to be work place appropriate. And if they're not I will put a trigger warning ahead of time in the title. 

I haven't been fully organized so expect posts to be a day late at most. Towards the end this quarter posts will be random and erratic. I can't be totally held responsible if they are not on schedule or on-topic. Bernard cooking session will definitely be on time since I can take pictures while cooking and with the ingredients as well, so that should not be a problem at all. 

Please also be aware I'm going to be posting another page on the blog about the trigger warnings.
