Mind Your Own Biscuits And Life Will Be Gravy

This week I discovered this new song by a young country artist who I am becoming a big fan of. Her name is Kacey Musgraves. In her song there is the line "Mind your biscuits and life will be gravy" and I thought that was both hilarious and actually very deep. This week I was trying to work on the principle of 'if you aint got nothin nice to say don't say nothin at all.' Well I discovered I didn't say a lot this week and that was a sad fact because I realize more and more how much crap and garbage comes out of my mouth. I have a negative tendency and I actually think it comes from a multitude of things but I think I'm not alone in it. Whenever I watch any YouTube video, read any article online, or see any social media post I INSTANTLY go to the comments section just to see what everyone thinks. Usually it has some standard structure after awhile. A negative insult, or racial slur, some sexual joke, prophecy from a religious person, a person who just says something outrageous, etc.
It's funny because it has become such a sad state of affairs. Everyone thinks they are entitled to their opinion, which is true, but usually that opinion seems to be directed at other people and in a negative light.

Another great song by her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ8xqyoZXCc 

She's a pretty cute Texan girl with a good perspective that I think is a new face to country music

This week I also did something different, I went to a social event! Not really but it was a speaker at the university. For those who know the Netflix show Orange is the New Black you will know a few things; this show is hilarious and super gross also but I find a balance of both humor and seriousness that is my cup of tea. But I could go without the overly done lesbian sex in it. Anyways there is a transgender actress in the show, Laverne Cox, and she came to speak and there was a line she said at the event that stuck with me, 

"Those who hurt, hurt." And I think that was such a simple yet powerful thing because I relate things back into myself and my life (it's something I took from a young age being LDS and likening the scriptures unto myself). I realize that some of those out there, myself of course included, have been hurt some more extreme than others, but I think we find solace or just justice in hurting others in some degree. This is a whole other blog with the psychology behind it but I think most just want to feel understood. 

Anyways it was a very nice event that I ventured out to see and I was glad to do something different (no I'm not considering myself transgender). 

Another quote I was told by my sister awhile back on those same lines that I heard was more of a religious tone but it also had a great point, "Atheists are wounded theists" and Amen to that is all I can say. It's a sad affair but I think in simply addressing it and talking about it is progress whatever the end goal may be. 

Anyways my week had a bunch of quotes as you can tell that stuck with me.....other than that life just keeps on keeping on. Peace out (Oh by the way I like black and white photography of myself, never been a fan of myself in pictures but black and white will do). Just remember,
