Here is a Georgia State Trooper in riot gear at a KKK protest in a north Georgia city back in the 80s. The Trooper is black. Standing in front of him and touching his shield is a curious little boy dressed in a Klan hood and robe. I have stared at this picture and wondered what must have been going through that Trooper’s mind. Before the Trooper is an innocent child who is being taught to hate him because of the color of his skin. The child doesn’t understand what he is being taught, and at this point he doesn’t seem to care. Like any other child his curiosity takes hold and he wants to explore this new thing that this man is holding probably because he can see his reflection in it and that’s a neat thing and he wants to check it out. In this picture I see innocence mixed with hate, the irony of a black man protecting the right of white people to assemble in protest against him, temperance in the face of ignorance, and hope that racism can be broken because this young boy may remember that a black man smiled at him once and he didn’t seem so bad after all.

I’d like to emphasize the part that says this was in the 80’s.

I just found an unused tampon in my science binder.
Erica why are you so glamorous?
Dare I ask what you would have done if it was used?
This exercise is absolutely perfect for working your UPPER and LOWER abdominal muscles.
The leg moving up and down combined with a crunch, is GREAT for the “Transverse Abs” which is the lower stomach area.
For Women, as you may already know- this lower abdominal area is very hard to tone.
A balanced healthy diet & Cardio combined with the right strength training exercises (such as this one) will get rid of that annoying pooch the quickest.

Happy Birthday, Abby. I may yell at you a lot while watching you play, but I really do love you. I haven’t doubted your toughness since I watched you get your head stapled with barely even a wince.

Anonymous Asked: Why do you care about weight-loss so much all of the sudden? What are you, like, 11? 12? 13? Gosh, society's screwed...I’m not into weight-loss as much as I am into getting fit. My sport demands that I am at the top of my physical ability, and I’m afraid that I have slipped from that. By eating healthy and exercising more often (Which really means at all) I plan to get back on track. Thanks for the hate though, I really appreciate it. Guessing all of those ages was kind too.
