“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 10 - Trapper Keepers

Oh God, forgive me for writing this blog, but I have to reflect on yesteryear for the sake of this series.  I haven't written a Keeping It Old Skool issue since May, and now I know why. LOL.

I don't care what any of you say, Trapper Keepers were the shit!  They held all your crap together and it had pocket folders called Trappers!  

You could find a variety of cool designs that included football, muscle cars, horses, rainbows, and an array of bold colors.  It was the coolest 3-ring binder you would ever have.  The Trapper Keeper had a fold-over closure that was held shut by a strip of velcro, and the rings were made of plastic so that you wouldn't hurt yourself with those old metal ones.  It even had a tab you could pull out, so that the rings would slide open.  It was the greatest invention ever!

I know whoever is reading this is probably laughing their ass off, but you know you had one too!  Hell, you probably cut the damn plastic and slid in your best friends' pictures in there or those hot shirtless pics of Zack Morris and AC Slater from your Pop Star Magazines.

 
How my mother never figured out I was gay when I asked for the rainbow one is beyond me. 

And yes, just so you can get a kick out of it, here's a commercial for your nostalgia. :-)

I think those might have even been around when I was in school. Who knows.
