What A Time To Be Alive...

A Trump supporter rally is going to happen at the same time as a Juggalo rally.

I can't believe I forgot to date my calendar for tomorrow. September 16th is a very special day! It's a good thing that I remembered the event planned to take place in Washington, it's not every day I get to see a clash between Juggalos and Trump supporters. That is right, Juggalos and Trump supporters are going to be protesting in Washington this Saturday! Grab some popcorn and a soda, because it's about to go down. I know this is all so sudden-you're probably just as shocked as you are discombobulated, but bear with me for a second. I'll give you a quick run down on the situation at hand.

Let me give you a quick explanation of the motifs behind both parties. I'll start with the Trump supporters; here by known as "the Trumps". Apparently the Trumps are holding a "mother of all rallies" in support of "traditional" American culture. They want to show the fake mainstream media, leftists, and ultimately the world that America stands united with Trump; ready to protect their culture and boarders from globalist invaders. On the opposite side of ring, we have the Juggalos. In case you don't know, Juggalos are what the fans of musical hip hop group Insane Clown Posse call themselves. Unfortunately, their public image is less than stellar. To most people they are known as rambunctious, annoying fans who enjoy covering everything within their vicinity with Faygo, and have bad taste in music. The internet is no friend either as they've largely become a meme. In fact, their brand is so tarnished, the FBI has labeled them a "hybrid gang," which is exactly why they are protesting this Saturday. Unlike the former's motive, this is no laughing matter. They can lose their jobs and even the custody of their children.

It is interesting to note that the music group does not support racism (one of their songs actually attacks the confederate flag as a cultural symbol), so it will be interesting to see these two protest-rallies take place. Some people believe there will be a clash, while some believe otherwise. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling until tomorrow becomes today.

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.
