Black People Were Born In The Future

It doesn’t really make sense that we have a Black History Month when black people haven’t even been invented yet. All the black people you see today are time travelers, they are an evolved human species who have traveled back in time to make sure their parents get together at the school dance.

America Was Built On The Backs Of Aliens

You know that totally true and non-racist theory that Aliens helped the Egyptians build the pyramids? Well that’s true for the building of the U.S.; the White House was built by Aliens and so was everything else. Aliens basically did everything.

Racism is Dead Because I Killed It

I found racism on a December night, it was sitting in a hot tub with some of it’s good friends sexism and homophobia. I trapped them in the hot tub and boiled them to death so all that was left was the orange spray tan, a bad comb-over, bundles of non-taxed cash, and a cellphone with the twitter app still open on it. See? I killed it. Yes, I was able to kill powerful societal structure that has caused the deaths and struggles of billions of people just by turning up the heat! It was just that easy!

Racism Was a Conspiracy Theory Before I Killed It

You’ve heard it here first! Racism was a conspiracy promoted by people who wanted equal rights and not to be killed in the streets or enslaved. They invented this crazy theory of racism just to put a name to their oppression when they should have just kept quiet about it. But I killed it so now you can feel free to say horrible things and not feel guilty about it! I swear I didn’t just cover it up with a sheet and called it something else.

History Doesn’t Exist Because Time Is an Illusion

Time was created by human beings (or probably Aliens) to add some order to the chaos of reality. It’s like a sheet thrown over a complicated concept so we don’t have to acknowledge it anymore.

Months Don’t Exist Because Time Is An Illusion

I think the title sums this up pretty well.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
