about me
This will be a spot where I will share the experiences that make up my life.
Some things that may show up here are movies that I watch, that I feel a need to share. Music that I stumble upon throughout the day that must be discovered by your listening ears. Conversations I over hear and ideas I have. Articles and works of Art, although not my own, that I feel are moving or worth the glance.
So I hope all you tumblrs enjoy.

A Benediction
People yawning as the sun is dawning
People yawning as the sun is dawning
Here I am falling asleep as the trains creep from place and space.
Contacts dried as I tried to open my eyes.
Contacts dried as I tried to open my eyes.
I hear the tracks rumble and cry
On 59th ending my night
Waiting on the local to 86th to kick off my kicks as the clock tics. close to 8
I will never forget traveling the city skies while the night says its goodbyes to the rise of the mourning skies.
This city never sleeps. But captures you as you fall deep to sleep.
Here I am now at 36th street when will I get to sleep?
When will I wake if this city never sleeps?
Soon whispers the trians
Suddenly the R train sounds reign in my ear to signal my bed is finally near.
All fact no fiction the cities benediction.
13 Photos From Taiwan’s First Same-Sex Buddhist Marriage
Huang Mei-yu and Yu Ya-ting wed Saturday in a traditional Buddhist ceremony. Their union still isn’t recognized by the Taiwanese government, though support for gay marriage is mounting across Asia.

Buddhist Master Shih Chao-hwei performed the ceremony, giving the women his full support: “I am certain you will lead a life of happiness together, especially after you have overcome so much difficulty and societal discrimination,” he said. “You have blessings not only from the Buddha, but also from those whom you may or may not know who are in attendance.”

“Abandoned by straight people.” Something homophobic people tend to over look.
All my public transit commuters should enjoy this.
