Sam rolled over on their bed late Saturday morning. He figured he'd call up his pal and see how things were going.

Xander answered on the third ring. "Dude? Xan? What's up?"

Carlos baby, I think you ought to do this one!

Hahahahahhahaha. I think not.

*disgust and anger fill the young man's body*

How can they sell stuff like this? How can people actually wear it?

Its mean and disrespectful. And its not funny.


ooc- I saw a man wearing this shirt at the gym today. I think I barked at him, I had no words. Luckily Sam did.

Know thy self-

For me to know myself, and I believe this is true for everyone whether they do this consciously or not, I have to separate my life into beliefs and unbeliefs. These are as simple as saying I believe Steven Tyler from Aerosmith is creepy looking but I don’t believe that Aerosmith is a bad band. Mostly though, it’s not so easy.
I could simply say, I am Samuel David Pennington. I am a gay man. I am a right handed guitar playing, green tea drinker. Or I could say, I’m a producer of music and a consumer of everything else. The problem with simply listing all of my societal roles is; that isn’t who I am, that isn’t how I know myself. That’s only the surface of me, the mold I walk around in. It is up to me to let anyone past the mold, to see who I really am. That is when beliefs and unbeliefs come in.
I don’t really believe in god. For a long time I didn’t believe in the supernatural or things that go bump in the night but that’s pretty much changed into a rather gray area for me. What is crystal clear is this: I believe in love. I believe in forgiveness and that human beings have the ability to forgive even if they choose not to. I believe in compassion and acceptance for everyone. I don’t believe its fair to accept one’s flawed self without being able to accept the flaws of others, no matter how complex and different from one’s own they are. I believe I must respect the earth because it is where I live.
This is how I know myself, I know what I believe and that’s what dictates who I am and largely how I live. Someday, I hope that society will ease up on human beings and let more of us shed that mold and walk nakedly in our beliefs and unbeliefs. That day isn’t here yet unfortunately and probably won’t come in my life time but I believe it will come someday.

Hey I'm 22. I think last year was the most eventful year of my life. Here's to another exciting one.

Sam comes back from talking to Xander and slips in quietly, careful not to disturb anyone. He finds Carlos reading book with his ipod headphones on and grins, he looks perfectly relaxed. Sam scoots under his arm and plants a warm kiss on his lips.

"Carlos?"

I love you, Cabbage Patch.

ANNOUNCEMENT! announcement announcement ANNOUNCEMENT!


I am not a great man. I will never be a great man.


That

is

ALLLLLLLLL!!!

Sam was exhausted. It had been lovely and fantastic seeing Donna, Eric and the baby and a nice break from all the stuff they were dealing with back home but it also draining. He had worked so hard to just be with his husband and not think of Masters and Jess and Boston that it was starting to take a toll on him. All he wanted was Carlos; he wanted to feel Carlos and feel okay again, at least for a few hours.

They had taken a flight from Los Angeles to Albuquerque and planned to drive the rest of the way to Houston within the next couple of days. They pulled into a motel late that night and checked in as quickly as they could. Sam took a quick shower and pulled on some boxers before crawling into bed next to Carlos. He knocked Carlos's book out his hands as he snuggled through his husband's arms.

Sheepishly he grinned, "Sorry, Carlos."
