Cancer

I aim to be the best human being I can and embody the concepts of equality, growth, change, compassion, understading, acceptance, love and creativity. I hope that my actions speak for themselves and atest to my character.

I am waiting for the day all houses on my street turn pastel and wives come out in their sunday best to mow the front lawns. My neighbors to my left are religious right god worshipping jesus saves sticker wearing single middle aged women... who sing gospels to the tune of the theme from the mary tyler more show until 12am... how strange is that? And in the midst of this chaos and heterosexuality I find little islands of homokingdom where once upon a time I laid a hand on a man's shoulder and have not let go since.

You, who will suprise me. And stand rewarded.
