Rape, incest, slavery — they’re not just heinous crimes against God and man, they’re also biblically sanctioned pathways to marriage… in the eyes of God and man.

Ah, International Feel Sorry for Yourself Day, the most wonderful time of the year. This comes from a longer video by a (cute!) Canadian actor I’d never heard of till a friend posted a link to his site on Facebook. I’m pretty sure he’s gay, though it’s hard to tell with that accent.
Anyway, as today is International Feel Sorry for Yourself Day and all, we invite you to focus on why nobody loves/appreciates/understands you, and then whine about it till somebody smacks you in the mouth. Of course, some people would say that every day at TNG is International Feel Sorry for Yourself Day. To that we say: Why are they so mean? Why do they have to hate on us all the time when all we’re trying to do is make this blog every day for them?!

From eye to eye
we do not dart
while on the bus,
alighting instead on shoes
and shopping bags
and pages of books,
shyly displayed,
that tell us
who you are.
