“Marriage is not the only worthy form of family or relationship”

Requiem — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:09:54 +0000

Marriage is not the only worthy form of family or relationship, and it should not be legally and economically privileged above all others. A majority of people – whatever their sexual and gender identities – do not live in traditional nuclear families. They stand to gain from alternative forms of household recognition beyond one-size-fits-all marriage. For example:

· Single parent households

· Senior citizens living together and serving as each other’s caregivers (think Golden Girls)

· Blended and extended families

· Children being raised in multiple households or by unmarried parents

· Adult children living with and caring for their parents

· Senior citizens who are the primary caregivers to their grandchildren or other relatives

· Close friends or siblings living in non-conjugal relationships and serving as each other’s primary support and caregivers

· Households in which there is more than one conjugal partner

· Care-giving relationships that provide support to those living with extended illness such as HIV/AIDS.

She’s feeling like a social tool without use

Requiem — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 02:25:51 +0000

Are you locked up in a world that’s been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed.
I’m taking heed in just for you.

(She, by Green Day)

Endlessly looking for a purpose.

Gotta Have You

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, nothing else will do
I’ve gotta have you, I’ve gotta have you.

The Weepies – Gotta Have You

I’m just mostly bored. It’s kinda meh not having someone to think about while listening to these kind of songs. It’s like being nostalgic for something completely abstract.

Pink Thoughts (chorus)

Requiem — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:08:24 +0000

Fragments, for the small things worth mentioning.

so long nice to know that you
once were a major part of me
love comes and ruins everyone
so whats so whats the point of it all
nothing stays forever
we try to keep it together
until we fall apart again

Song by Moving Units, Pink Thoughts; Album: Hexes for Exes (2007).
