"What You Eat Don't Make Me Shit"

B. Scott is a fabulous firecracker of a man. For those who do not know who B. Scott is, he is an avid video blogger who has gained fame across the worldwide web. He has even gained so much recognition that he has been recently involved in the NOH8 campaign in California to combat Proposition 8. I was put onto B. Scott awhile ago by a good friend, but recently I have regained my interest in his vlogs starting with the above video.

B. Scott definitely gets things off of his chest as the title describes. Many of the points that he brought up is exactly how I--amongst other LGBT people--feel about the views of homosexuals. It's so crazy how some heterosexual men and women figure that just because a person is gay or lesbian, they automatically want to "convert" them; it's so crazy how some heterosexual men and women quote the Bible calling homosexuality an "abomination" when they commit sin by going to Red Lobster and ordering the shellfish specials. People need to open their eyes and see that we (the LGBT community) are just as much human as anyone and everyone else. As B. Scott boldly said, "judge people by the merit of their character." It is not about who a person sleeps with at night or loves in the morning; it is about the kindness and good in their hearts and in their being.

Another quote that touched me specifically *made me die laughing too only because of the deliverance lol* was "What you eat, don't make me shit." This is completely true. Why the hell do we lead our lives worrying about what others have to think and say about it? We should be able to live and let live, do us and say "fuck what you think, I'm finna do me." I take this to the heart because periodically in my life, I get those people who ask "why must you dress like this?" and "why must you do that?" What do I have to say to these people now? What you eat don't make me shit.

So find the time to watch the above video. Whether you are gay, straight, bi, try, whatever just watch the video and be enlightened. Trust me, it is not a waste of eleven minutes. You will indeed walk away with another outlook on who you are; on who I am.

How Good It Hurts

"Well I've met my match
'Cause you're more of a man
Than I've ever had
This table's turned
And I can't find the words
To describe how good it hurts"
-Chrisette Michele, "Mr. Right"

So it's been about two months...wow that is pretty amazing. I find it crazy how you go through time without looking for love, and out of nowhere love finds you. It has been two months since me and Mr. Right decided to explore the possibilities and I can say that it has been an amazing journey. Never have I ever imagined that life and love could be this good. Knowing him for over a year *it will be two years in September or October* I would never imagine that a true love could be right in front of my face. Someone who listens to me; someone who understands me; someone who sees me even with my flaws.

Everyday I wake up in the morning, and what is wrong with that picture is that I do not like to wake up in the morning. To hear his voice on the phone, I do. It is such a joy to speak to him every day just hearing how he is doing at work, or the new music he recommends, or how we disagree on Beyonce. I appreciate him so much; his friendship and honesty means so much to me that I cannot fathom what life would be like if I had never met him that faithful day at McDonald's on 42nd Street.

Love has not hit me like this in years. It took awhile, but I have finally opened my eyes to what true love entails. It entails support for one another, it entails respect for one another, it entails seeing each other smile and provoking each others minds. All of these things I have found in him, and I can wholeheartedly say that my two month curse can be broken. This is something that I know will last past our relationship, past our friendship, past our lifetimes.
