Katie was not born female...but she knew she should have been. Meet Katie, a transgender teen Who was actually born as Luke Hill.
Who knows what transgender means?
Transgender is the state of an individual's identity with their gender role...or self identification, not necessarily matching one's "assigned sex".
Transgender does not imply in any way To ones sexual orientation (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, or asexual). Typically, their identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender roles, but combines or moves between these. Transgenders do not identify themselves strictly with their birth given gender assignment....because it gives a false or incomplete description of who they are!
Hence, making themselves...more then just a typical male or just a typical female...rather a hybrid of the genders...
Aka, transgender.

What did poor old Betsy Brashear do?
Apparently a Fifteen year old in a tanning booth at Colaw Fitness! At least that is the story perpetrated by the 15 year old boy's mother. This mother, who brought her son to the gym so he can shed a little chub for the summer...observed 24 year old Ms Brashear lure her son to the tanning both. Naturally suspicious, the mother snuck up on the budding couple only to find Betsy in a sports Bra.
The 15 year old boy certainly got much more then he expected...
And Ms Brashear, probably as well!

What corrupts you?
Abuse. Physical, verbal, emotional and psychological Abuse. The norms and codes of Society. Expectations. Desire. The feeling to be wanted. Corruption exists at every turn...
So many possible adulterations from every aspect in life.
I appreciate your enthusiasm for the question. You have a similar disposition to me...peaceful, respectful and possibly too eccentric as far as conforming within societal structures. It's a shame that you have been victimized over your lifetime. I am sorry to hear that, no one deserves to be abused...especially at the hands of ignorance,arrogance and pretentiousness. All Men and Women are equals! I look at people's intent when evaluating what my best response should be. Remember, two wrongs never yield the right result. Be the better man, and hope that the perpetrators/violators find the right path.
In Ancient Greece
Socrates, famed educator and Philosopher was sentenced to death...
For what?
Opening the minds of the Youth in Athens!

Old Ruins...
The mysterious ruins went undiscovered until 2009. And even now they remain a mystery befitting of the title "Syria's Stonehenge" as scientists eager to study the ruins have struggled to get access to them.
Located near Deir Mar Musa, a Syrian monastery called "the nexus" of Islam and Christianity by the Christian Science Monitor, that ancient site is itself directly in between Homs and Damascus, two opposing cities currently caught in the violence of Syria.
“What [the ruins] looked like was a landscape for the dead and not for the living,” said archaeologist Robert Mason last Wednesday to the Harvard Gazette. “It’s something that needs more work and I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen.”
The monastery was constructed in the sixth century and inhabited until the 19th century. According to Mason, the unexplored finds around Musa may be far older, perhaps as much as 10,000 years old. Fox News points out that the oldest of Egypt's pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Giza, is 4,500 years old.
An area under the church's altar may be an entrance to underground tombs, according to a 2010 interview with the Independent, but without further exploration Dr. Mason fears they may never be revealed.

Human Negativity
I thrive on the strength and integrity of my individuality. No person on this planet can tarnish my own self expression within my own mind. I endorse and empower those people who want to share and express their selves (without causing negativity or harm to anyone!).
If, any attempts in any way to adulterate my Individuality...
No words brandished shall impede my expression...
No thoughts expressed insult and inhibit me in anyway...
Nor should they for anyone else...
Life is meant to be lived and experienced...
By nature, in turn...expressed through those experienced eyes!
Acts such as passing judgement and holding prejudices are archaic and inhumane.
Who are we to pass judgement on each other?
No matter how righteous any individual that I have met, may be...none of them are perfect...therefore, no single individual holds the humanistic right to pass judgement onto any other person...
Therefore, everyone should be allowed to self express without consequence!

They Just Keep on Coming
From everyone...
I should be such the seasoned vet by now...with all my experience in receiving them. Always come flying...high, low, wild, accurate...
But Always from the Left...
They come from family, friends, co-workers and even strangers
(some random guy trying to be funny and friendly last night joked that if he kept this up I would strange him)
His name is Leo...
and I would Never resort to violence, especially from someone insisting on buying me a shot of Jameson...it's just not in my nature to needlessly resort to physical abuse in order to instill my principles.
First off...I would much rather have individuals weigh out the Pros and Cons to my (or any) argument and then, by their own accord decide for themselves what makes the most amount of sense.
Leo, had I not been driving...
Had I not had four to five beers in a two hour period...
Had I not felt physically depleted from my Bikram yoga class...
Just maybe...
We clink our glasses.
Salute!
(even then, a Hug won't suffice...but coming from you Leo, I am glad you skipped)
But...in all actuality...what amused me most Yesterday was a comment, and it went something like this...
Your Longgggg hair, does not flatter your look...
You would look even more handsome if you cut your hair.
So,
I guess...
Having long hair makes me look uglier...?
It's like I said...

Franz Bardon says....Life is NOT a fairground, rather more like a School
"True magic therefore is the high knowledge of the more subtle powers that have not yet been acknowledged by science up to this date because the methods of scrutiny that have been applied so far do not suffice for their grasping, understanding and utilization, although the laws of magic are analogous to all official sciences of the world."

What do you fear?
I will state, with full confidence...that I hold in My heart the thought that, No Fear is too great to overcome!
I will confront anything remotely threatening, and survive....
That which does not kill me, will only Make ME Stronger!

Why would someone's menstral cycle come two weeks early?
Stress is the most common cause of an early period, so don’t stress. The most common reason why women begin their periods early is because of a significant amount of stress that they may be feeling at the time. Stress levels can affect a woman’s hormones (mainly estrogen). This problem with estrogen can mean that the timing of the period is affected dramatically.
Caffeine can have an effect, too. By drinking too many fluids that contain caffeine, like pop, tea and coffee, a woman’s period may begin early - especially if they’re not used to drinking caffeine. This substance can quickly cause irritability, nervousness and sleeplessness within women. It can also change the timing of the woman’s cycle.
Birth control may be the cause, too. The reaction that a body has from starting or just changing the kind of birth control that is used can be a reason. This is similar to any other kind of medication that you may first start to use. Birth control will be able to cause irregularity in periods for the first few months of using it. It generally lightens the period, too.
It could even be hypopitutitarism. This is the most serious cause of early periods and you must speak to your doctor. It means that you won’t produce enough of certain hormones in your body to remain healthy, and it can cause your pituitary gland to start slowing down. This can cause major effects on your cycle, given that it is this gland that produces six major body hormones. Your cycle can be drastically affected, too. You should consult a doctor if you’re concerned about this, as they and only they will be able to provide you with the advice and the medication that you are going to require.
The signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism vary widely, depending on the severity of the hormone deficiency. But in general, any problems you do have tend to develop slowly, often over a number of years.
At first, you may barely notice the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue and sluggishness, or you may simply attribute them to getting older. But as your metabolism continues to slow, you may develop more obvious signs and symptoms. Hypothyroidism signs and symptoms may include:
Fatigue
Sluggishness
Increased sensitivity to cold
Constipation
Pale, dry skin
A puffy face
Hoarse voice
An elevated blood cholesterol level
Unexplained weight gain
Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
Muscle weakness
Heavier than normal menstrual periods
Brittle fingernails and hair
Depression
When hypothyroidism isn't treated, signs and symptoms can gradually become more severe. Constant stimulation of your thyroid to release more hormones may lead to an enlarged thyroid (goiter). In addition, you may become more forgetful, your thought processes may slow, or you may feel depressed.
Advanced hypothyroidism, known as myxedema, is rare, but when it occurs it can be life-threatening. Signs and symptoms include low blood pressure, decreased breathing, decreased body temperature, unresponsiveness and even coma. In extreme cases, myxedema can be fatal.

How to Choose to Be Happy?
Individuals who seek to find fulfillment in their own personal state of satisfaction/happiness through extrinsic or exogenous means...often find themselves "victim" to one set of disappointment after another!
Being Happy is a self induced state...completely manufactured between your ears, coming from your chest and spreading throughout your entire body. You dictate these rules, you control your own destiny with it...and ultimately, as you already stated...is a matter of personal perception!
Bravo Madam, for bringing to light...a point that I often find myself arguing to an ocean full of pessimists and a faithful tyrannical contingency of cynics!
Reading all these answers...my skin started to curl with an uneasy tone.
So many people in an emotional drought...self suffocating their own hearts from their own mind...they almost all speak of this planet having just one other person whom their entire happiness is predicated upon!?
On a planet that houses billions of people...
There are days, where I think out loud and proclaim a desire to self appease myself by falling victim to a romantic saga...
Then, I step back...
Cursed perhaps...but, it could also very well be my own blessing in disguise!?
No one can make you feel loved and happy, as much as you can make yourself!
To rely on anyone else...can and will make you vulnerable and foolish!

Do We need a Reason "To Love" someone?
There is never Rhyme or Reason...
You never need an excuse...not even a note!
There will be no prisoners...only execution of emotions...
Wisdom dies.
Insight turns to foresight...before you turn blind.
Intelligence yields to ignorance...
Wistful becomes foolish,
Wit seems mindless,
Gumption evolves into the unreasonable, the unthinkable
Desire exceeds Practicality
Timeless....and impatient
Yet everything remains innocent

I never asked to be, I just am...,your typical Aquarian. Hard to keep up with, harder to understand.
Don't try to control me...you'll only drive yourself Mad.
Don't give me rules...that I will never follow...I don't follow anybody Elses rules!
Just let me be the tumultuous and unpredictable tide....
Love my waters...I don't blame you...they are tragically beautiful.
*Caution*
Surf my waves if you wish...consider yourself warned.

Rich vs Aesthetics?
I am a very handsome man....healthy, tall, dark and mysterious.
I am affluent in experience and human connections....
Nothing material ever exists the way that an intangible can change history...whether it be personal history, or mankinds!
I have been blessed with the best that anyone could want...and I am extremely appreciative of that...there isn't a day that goes by, that I have taken my fortune for granted...
All tangibles in life are transient and neverlasting!

The truth hurts
I call them left handed compliments...I get them all the time, by just about everyone!
My favorite was when my boss told one of my customers
"he's smarter then he looks"
I chuckled and thought to myself...
"what a pity, most people don't look half as dumb as they can be!"
Question:
Can you see the future?
My Answer:
What's the point?
Most people can't even remember the past...
That can cause problems, considering most people repeat their mistakes.
Question:
What makes you feel loved?
Answer:
Listening to me would be a start...and not because you have too either!
If we listened, actually truly listened to each other...
This world would be such a better place...
It's better to be understanding, then to be understood!

What would you do with A Mi$$ion Do$$ars?
Jackpot! For a couple of weeks back in 2009, Ronald Page was living the dream. Thanks to a bank error, the retired General Motors worker was able to withdraw unlimited amounts of cash from ATMs at casinos in the Detroit area.
Instead of letting Bank of America know of their screw-up, Page decided to let it ride--going on what must have been an epic gambling spree.
With just a few hundred dollars in his bank account, Page withdrew a total of $1.5 million in cash from casino ATMs, according to a report by Detroit's Local 10.
Page took out $312,000 at Greektown Casino, $103,000 at MGM Grand Casino and $514,000 at Motor City Casino, according to Local 10.
But Page's lucky streak was short-lived. Fifteen days and many, many ATM withdrawals later, Page had gambled away all the money. (Editor's note: if you suddenly find yourself flush with cash, we recommend an index fund or more prudent investment.)
It wasn't long before Bank of America froze his account and federal authorities stepped in.
Page was indicted on stealing bank funds in 2009, according to the Flint Journal. He has since been convicted and will be sentenced by a federal judge on June 27.
Prosecutors are recommending a 15-month sentence because the bank is partly to blame for the error, Local 10 reports.

Take the Good with the Bad...and Please, Save me the rest!
Quirks are my favorite thing about people.
Being who I am, and that is a quirky fellow with A principle keen eye directed towards detailed observation...
I take in everyone's quirks...and love seeing them all.
Quirks define us.
Quirks are personal identifying marks we self engineer to create a comfortable ambiance and/or existance.
Without quirks, we would be just like the next one on the assembly line.
Perfectly uninteresting...and quite Drab...We would all be sterile versions of the same Design...
One word...B O R I N G
Snore!

What is Supersymmetry?
When a connection exists between two fundamentally different types of particles and/or individuals...otherwise, known as a superpartner.
*All Objects within our Universe consist of strings and branes*
or
Vibrating filaments and membranes
Of Energy.
Electromagnetic force + Strong Nuclear force+ weak nuclear force + Gravity
Brings us Everything
Are people a microcosm of existance?
Just one example, that exemplifies/symbolizes everything?
The Answer lies in traveling faster then the expansion rate of known existance!
...but, to question life, and its meaning?
It's purpose behind "The Big Plan" or the "Grand Designer"
If in fact either or does exist.
Why must faith be blind?
Without evidence?
or any Tangible measure?
Why is faith only a devote theory?
This is Exactly how I percieve the current state of existance...
Motionless to understand the direction of where (I came and will go).
Time is the dimension that holds these answers.
Travel faster then time...and the where can be experienced.
But then, the question will become...can you be able to get back to The here and now?
Perhaps tats the sole purpose...to experience the here and now...considering how fleeting everything is?

Are people a microcosm of existance?
Just one example, that exemplifies/symbolizes everything?
The Answer lies in traveling faster then the expansion rate of known existance!
...but, to question life, and its meaning?
It's purpose behind "The Big Plan" or the "Grand Designer"
If in fact either or does exist.
Why must faith be blind?
Without evidence?
or any Tangible measure?
Why is faith only a devote theory?
This is Exactly how I percieve the current state of existance...
Motionless to understand the direction of where (I came and will go).
Time is the dimension that holds these answers.
Travel faster then time...and the where can be experienced.
But then, the question will become...can you be able to get back to The here and now?
Perhaps tats the sole purpose...to experience the here and now...considering how fleeting everything is?

Why Pretentious?
As far as I am concerned...all men and women alike hold one voice...none no louder then the next...
Any person, who thinks they are above that will certainly loose the pulse of their peers commonality. When people stop thinking that they are better then their peers (think of personal entitlement beyond accomplishment), then perhaps...humanity can truly unite and evolve for the common greater good.
Words like judgement, arrogance and ignorance taints and poison humanity with pretentiousness! My words may seem hypocrital or even outright blasphemous...but they ring true with what this worlds current pulse beats with!

Getting the Last Word
What a phunny Fenomenon...
That undeniable urge...
To sneak it in there..
Quickly, and without repercussion....
Like a deflection,
or an aborted thought
Mostly an unnecessary contribution to the verbal tussle
No one ever asks for it, nor do they care to hear it...
(Unless you are deaf...
and deaf people do exist...)
Out of pride? Out of arrogance? Out if spite?
Sometimes it's derogatory!
Sometimes it's flagrant!
Demeaning, insulting...outright a violation in direction
Once you step back and examine the "big plan" of where you are headed
Why must we get in those Final
Last Words?

Health, Trust, Care and Concern
Build. Explore. Establish.
Be Aware that Relationships do Change with Time...Since people evolve through their experiences in their lives. Therefore....
Respect Changes.
Accept Differences.
Express Wants and Needs.
Respect Your Partner's Rights.
Be Prepared to "Fight Fair."
Maintain the Relationship.
Understand Each Others' Family Patterns. Timing Counts. Establish an Atmosphere of Emotional Support. Agree to Disagree and Move On. Distinguish between things you want versus things you need from your partner. Clarify Your Messages. Discuss One Thing at a Time. Really Listen. Restrain Yourself. Adopt a "Win-Win" Position.
P.s. Time Together is just as Important as Time Apart.
Need to decide...if this...If the two of you are right?
Then ask....
Can I share common interests and stimulating conversation with this person?
Do I respect this person and value his opinions and ideas?
Do we have similar religious/spiritual viewpoints, or do we at least have compatible ideas about spirituality?
Do I want this relationship simply for the sake of wanting to be in a relationship, or do I want to be in a relationship with this person specifically?
Am I the person I want to be?
Am I physically attracted to this person?
Do I feel safe and loved with this person?
Do I feel like myself around this person, or do I behave differently when he is around?
Does this person have life goals that are compatible with my own?
Can I see myself being happy with this person exactly as he is?
Maintain Health within the Relationship...
Be aware of what you and your partner want for yourselves and what you want from the relationship.
Let one another know what your needs are.
Realize that your partner will not be able to meet all your needs. Some of these needs will have to be met outside of the relationship.
Be willing to negotiate and compromise on the things you want from one another.
Do not demand that a partner change to meet all your expectations. Work to accept the differences between your ideal mate and the real person you are dating.
Try to see things from the other's point of view. This doesn't mean that you must agree with one another all the time, but rather that both of you can understand and respect each other's differences, points of view, and separate needs.
Where critical differences do exist in your expectations, needs, or opinions, try to work honestly and sincerely to negotiate. Seek professional help early rather than waiting until the situation becomes critical.
Do your best to treat your partner in a way that says, "I love you and trust you, and I want to work this out."

How far would you go to see a loved one?
PORTLAND, Ore. — Police say a 50-year-old Oregon woman is in trouble because of her relationship baggage – but it's not the emotional kind.
Kola J. McGrath was arrested Monday for trespassing after workers at her boyfriend's downtown Portland apartment complex discovered the man was sneaking her into the building by hiding her in a large rolling suitcase. She was banned from the building last year for breaking a fire extinguisher case during an argument.
The Oregonian reports ( ) McGrath is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 96 pounds.
Police were notified when a caller reported a man had kidnapped a woman, placed her in a pink suitcase and taken her to the apartment building.
Officers then searched 52-year-old Curtis T. Lowe's apartment and found McGrath hiding in a closet.

How many Angels can dance in the Head of Pin?
or the Tip of a Needle...?
A thought fostered by many generations....
Over many debates and discussions
Some significant

No resolution, nor any decision...
Nonetheless, all for naught...
Because...
It is a
Metaphor for
Time wasted debating Topics of

Plush Beauty...
With...
Her fanciful positive energy accompanied by a gentle and affectionate temperament...
Shy at First,
She's playfully rambunctious, highly active and quite inquisitive. Her sleek, slender and athleticly muscular frame is covered by a glossy coat so soft amid such silky rusted bronze hair, feels like crushed velvet to the touch...All disguising a uniquely harmonized attractive body that's waiting to pounce at his slightest movement...her prominent brilliant greenish-fawn colored eyes sparkle with anticipation, staring wide eye attentively at her target with a smiling expression...
Her ears curled back..Her plum long blonde tail anxiously sways in the air
Perched behind the leg of a table, sturdy and silent...her hind long paws curve her hips in the air...
Alerted by her crimped, bristly and stringy whiskers
Sensing the vibrations radiating from his predictable thumps...
She slowly stalks her prey...step by step...ever so quietly...anticipating his next move...
Lithe...Limber...Pinpoint accurate
This Wild and Exotic jungle cat leaps without mercy...
Lightening strikes...
Grabbing her hunt, and relentlessly tumbles forward....
He never knew she was there...on the prowl, behind him...
Captured...
Engage in play!

Disguised
Elevated
Beyond rapture
Enclaved in a soil
Sealed by skin
Roasted by an intense glare
Shrouded by Intrigue
Surrounded with mystery
I pull back your cloak...yet most refuse to see the light
Darkness is
Simple
Quiet
Predictable
Light elevates
Light bestows
Light spreads
Light is how we see

What is Asprin Good For?
Sunburn Reliever
Been out in the sun too long? Aspirin can fix it. Grind up a few pills and add just enough water to make it into a paste. You can then rub this paste on your sunburn, kind of like a topical analgesic. If that sounds too messy, you can take the aspirin (just make sure you follow the proper dosage information). Aspirin is an anti-inflamatory agent, helping reduce the pain caused by too much sun exposure.
Chlorine Remover
If swimming is your exercise of choice, or you just plan on being in the pool all summer, then you know that chlorine can wreak havoc on your hair. For starters, it can leave hair with a greenish tint. To bring your locks back to normal, dissolve about six to eight aspirin tablets in water. Massage the mixture into your hair, letting it sit for10 minutes. After that, rinse and shampoo it like usual. The aspirin solution will remove the chlorine residue in your hair.
Plant 'Prozac'
From being eaten by bugs, bad weather, plant disease and transplanting, it can be hard out there for a plant. But you can boost your plant's "immune system" by giving them aspirin. Just dissolve a tablet into a gallon of water, then pour into the plant pot (or, on the surrounding soil). This trick also works for cut flowers, too. Simply drop an aspirin in the vase for fresher flowers.
Laundry Helper
Sweat and antiperspirant stains can turn good clothes into rags-to-be. But you can remove those stains with the help of, you guessed it, aspirin. Dissolve eight aspirin pills into warm water (about half a cup). Pour this all over the stain and let it sit for ten to fifteen minutes, and then put the garment through the wash. If this doesn't completely remove the stain, repeat the process.
Skin Exfoliant
You know those expensive exfoliants and facial cleansers? They work thanks to salicylic acid, which is found in aspirin. You can use the leftover aspirin water solution from the hair cleaner that we made earlier to exfoliate your skin. Bonus: To make a blemish disappear, mash up an aspirin pill with water and then apply directly to the zit. Let sit overnight for clear, happy skin.
Do you know of any other clever new uses for aspirin? Share them in the comments!

If I Give You this world and the next...
Does it complete you???
If, the purpose
Of Life is to Evolve and Unfold...
That to me means
Nothing is ever perfect, nor complete...
Always in motion,
Always in transition,
Shifting, maneuvering, learning
To sit static
To sit still
To sit without movement
Only Robs you of living
Unevolved
and
Folded
