Father Figure

I could be mad that you weren’t around. I could be furious that you don’t see me perfect. Yet I am trying to not care anymore.

I had a couple of LGBT advocates take up your abandonment. Teaching me valuable things like what is Libel so I will not use your name but remember the shards of emotional glass you used.

Fallen Tree

Simply things of wake up and sleep are more complex with the duties and deeds of life.   I had a chance to take a couple of breaks the other night and it felt strange to focus on rejuvenating.   Giving my self permission to reflect on something other than scrubbing and bubbling.   In which my boss gave me permission to myself to explore more blogging and art pieces.   Why can’t I fall over and just give up?   How many times do I have to try to tell I am sorry for the things that I haven’t done?   I have been silenced enough and its time to explore the wilderness.  The ancients are whispering in the winds and it’s time to wake to the call.   Even if it something small it can grow.

Customary to belong

We belong to the world of wandering eyes and quick to process lips of smacking down judgement.   We believe to have a job and still be able to afford a roof over ours heads.  Now is the time to invest into our dreams and passions with vigor or alas fall prey to time keepers.

Welcome back Out at workers to my blog.  I will be sharing inspiration, stories of success, and LGBTQ events around my community.   Nothing new but a will to transpire the realms of my reality.  Which is custodial part timer and an adventure in peer mentoring.

So hang on tight and let’s look to the future.

 

 

Swinging bat took balls

 

Awesome movie I went to see this weekend, 42, about Jackie Robinson.   It will grip you in your seat hoping the discrimination and racism doesn’t extend to a whole new level.   There was the fear of going into a profession with your untapped abilities threating or scaring those who did not want to shake things up.   Which brings me to this month’s questions why do you deal with negativity over your own positive energy?     When our reviews come in, we cannot let the critics win.     We have to be honest with ourselves first and foremost.

This month’s great movie was 42, it’s a drama based of Jackie Robinson life.   It will grip you into your seat with moments of discrimination based on racism.     You just pray it does not get violent in his workplace ,the baseball field.   What was he judge upon, people could not look past his bat and balls. Your professional abilities wowing the crowds but something in which cannot be helped holding you back.  Our critics how mighty they may be never wear tongue protection so why should we?  In the days of label who can do this or who can do that.   Are we seeking out some form of workplace behavior of allowing other’s to be themselves rather then what comes preplaced away from their resume?

I had the dishonor of being told you should not try something cause in the end you will not help yourself but only lie their in defeat.    A total stranger who underestimated my skills, my classifications, and my background.    Only looking upon my speed, my accuracy, and not giving me a chance.   As someone pointed out to me I should of asked how can I get this person’s job?   There I was being my own recking ball when better judgment sided with me.   I cannot be perfect choice for everyone, I cannot be everything to everyone, and sometimes I just need to live my passions.   

You will not find me on the radio sparing out like Dolly Pardon in Straight Talk.   Questions like how have I lived, where can I excel, and what is with the weather lately?    Odd ball chance will not  

Let me guess you are yearning to do more with life and escape the darkness of the closet?    You cannot see why a simple little crushes, a small percentage of what makes you, or why your heart matters?   Let me hear you say what’s love got to do with it?   Second hand emotion?          Well when your mind, heart, and soul are not working towards a working solution something must be out of whack? Do not feel lost, try changing your attitude.   Why must you remain silent and have things pushed upon you.  

When a simple push from one perspective to another holds so much good change.    Feeling challenged there is no way of chewing off your heart or having a transplanted artery.   Might as well face it you are addicted to same sex love.   While the no hearted work world can tear you down from this.  Having a good attitude and perspective on things can really make the change.

When workers are up on ya’ll business are you finding challenges on having your story “Straight”.    As someone mentioned to me a 30 year old who is not married, no children, or ex wives must either be having trouble in sack or drum roll queer.

Why do we hold our tongues with being quiet and treating everyday like the day of silence?    An employer close to me who got a promotion says that hiding anything, not being social, and not having a clean work slate hurt your chances.   Why does it seem no matter how hard we try we cannot seem to make it?     

 

Awaiting for the right answers to the toughest questions its once again time for Out at Work.     I won’t try to throw advice to you like Dolly Pardon in Straight Talk.   If you can spare a moment of your time I would appreciate it.  Why deal with the stings of bees
