power pope - i don’t want war
mm delicious ear candy! <3
If I ever get around to creating my own band I will leave samplings of our songs and full cd’s in random bathroom stalls, leave them on gas station pumps and in peoples mailboxes. And let them leak the songs on the internet for people to hear. No song would be sold only shared for the peoples enjoi-ment. I hate that we have to pay for the feelings music create.
AMEN
chin up

This one is for 10-20-2010, and the kids we lost.
The lyrics aren’t necessarily synonymous. But it is a wonderful song, and everyone must keep their chins up if they want to get through anything. It’s a shame that intolerance costs kids their life.
Reposting this to remind everyone WHY we are going purple →

because these kids have names and they have stories. they’re real people with families and hopes and dreams that were stamped out by hate. may the reason for the color not be forgotten.
Tyler Clementi
He was a 19 year old student at Rutgers University.
After his college roommate tweeted “roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into Molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”, he lived-streamed Tyler having sexual relations with his boyfriend.
Tyler threw himself off a bridge after finding out.Raymond Chase
He was a 19 year old student at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island.
He hung himself in his dorm room.“Raymond Chase was a person who liked Harry Potter and Rugrats and was a member of the popular facebook group “I cant spell “bananas” without singing hollaback girl.” (source)
Seth Walsh
Seth Walsh was a thirteen year old middle school student.
He was bullied to the point that he could not bear to live.“He spent a lot of his life frightened.” It was in person, through the internet, through phonecalls. His peers were relentless. He was perpetually picked on for his mannerisms and his style of dressing, even before he came out as gay.
His mother found him hanging from a tree in their backyard. He spent over a week lingering on life support before he died.Asher Brown
He was a 13-year-old eighth grader at Hamilton Middle School outside Houston His family says that he was “bullied to death”.
”Asher was tormented for being small. For his religious beliefs. For the way he dressed. And for being gay. His bullies acted out mock gay sex acts in phys ed class.”His parents repeatedly contacted school officials on his bullying. Nothing was ever done.
He shot himself in the head.Billy Lucas
He was a 15-year-old freshman at Greensburg High School in Indiana.
“Everyone made fun of him.” Like Asher, his school administration knew but did nothing.
A friend says the bullies would call Billy “gay and tell him to go kill himself.” Homophobic hate messages have been left on his facebook memorial page.
and there are moreThe death toll for this school year is already at 7.
Seven kids who have lost their lives because of hateful peers.It’s horrible that it’s taken tragedies like this to finally wake this nation up.
SHIT LIKE THIS MAKES ME CRY.
A thirteen year old child shot himself in the head, and some of you don’t understand why something needs to be done? I am the most heartless, emotionless bitch on this planet, and this just made me cry. You would have to be a sociopath not to be affected by this.
