Who am I? I'm the goofy guy that can be called a Historian, Chemist, Anime Fan, and a fan of a good read. If anyone here takes a look at my login name, they will figure out another of my interests. Fine... I'l tell you. I am one who pays respects to old religions and traditions, ever looking for another way to see.

I try to think of myself as an old fashioned guy. The one who holds open doors. The one who pulls out chairs for their date. The one who never got anywhere with the good lookin girls in high school... whoops. Call me a... traditionalist.

By trade, I am a farm laborer growing potatoes out in the middle of nowhere. I needed a life outside my 90 hour work week. I think this works.

One of my pet projects is a list of phrases, maxims, and proverbs that I like to call "The Rules of Existence." I have about 88 so far and am always looking for more.

Some examples:

Here’s an oldie but goodie:

“Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Lord John Dalberg-Acton, on the nature of Papal Infallibility. #88

The only thing that stays the same in life is that nothing in life is ever the same; change is the only constant. #67 I came up with this one while taking a bath. Literally.

They say that with age comes great wisdom. Well, simply said, it is not what you know, it’s what you learn, and how you use that knowledge. #44

Trust But Verify; Believe What is Said, but Only Afteryou have proven it to be True. Also known as Reagan’s Law. #4

Karma is a force to be believed in. The general rule is: If you perform good deeds, good things will happen to you, and if you perform bad deeds, bad things will happen to you. #17

And one of my personal favorites, out of the mouth of my grandfather: “A farting horse will never tire and a farting mans’ the man to hire!” John D. Ames #64

If anybody has anything to add to the list, all suggestions are viable. If you'd like you can send them to my E-Mail address at andrewames247@Gmail.com

I have had ideas for stories in my head for years, but we all have our own outlets for creativity. FanFiction allows so much for so many. I will look forward to reading all of your works.

On a more important note, I was suddenly struck with the inspiration to do the right thing and post this on my profile.

(Note: text is property of original owner, except for small marked additions at the end)

PLEASE READ WHAT'S UNDER THIS!!

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it

" We as human beings have absolutely no right to judge each other based on our sexual orientation. We may have fear or ignorance of other people, but we should not let that inhibit our ability to understand." (Not directly related to bold text seen above.) But do me a favor and cross-post.
