A Lone Goddess

Again something told to me once by a former suitor rings in my head. "You are beautiful, rare, and unique like an elusive white rhino. Extremely rare to find in the wild and when you are spotted you are only to be enjoyed in your habitat, not possessed. You deserve only to be free." Every time I come across a good man I tend to hear the same damned things, "you are a good woman, you deserve <insert something they don't think they can give>" or "I will probably hurt you more and you don't deserve that." If I'm such a good woman why can I not get a good man? Why is it the only men who want anything to do with me are the creeps? If I am so damn valuable why does no one see it? As many of my friends notice, I have men throwing themselves at me, but they are not ones of a quality I need or want in my life. The ones who I keep getting are the ones who hear I lost my fiance and go "so want me to come over?" Or who see my friend walk...

The US, the Land of Tolerance...

or so the bi line reads and the media likes to portray. There is a dark seedy issue in the states that people don't like to talk about so other countries don't really know about. If you are not white and Christian you might as well pretend very well. The Jews seem to do well enough for themselves too. But over all this place is rough if you are of mixed heritage or non-white, and even worse if you are not Christian. There has always been racial tension here since our inception, especially among the hybrids. But the good thing about hybrids is sometimes we can camouflage into demographics to make things easier on ourselves until we're discovered This is an entry from my G+ showing what my experience Tuesday was: So it was brought up earlier about why I had to have a knife on me when I go on the bus. What happened while I was in Compton was more than enough of a show. It was not as extreme as the dick against my ass in Hollywood while waiting for class to start, but ...

Finding the Moroccan Dragon

This is a venture that vexed me for nigh a month. I kept trying to dig lore specific to Morocco. I refused to accept that a country did not have some depiction of a dragon especially when they have a word for it. I tried every form of "Moroccan dragon" into Google search and even tattoos and it would come back with nothing but Chinese dragons. Even the Arabic henna designs would have Chinese dragons complete with the Chinese kanji. I'm not an idiot, if I'm looking up Arabic henna designs and want a dragon I'm not going to write a Chinese kanji thinking it's Arabic >.> I digressed there for a second, back on topic. I got to looking at the tattoo art and I noticed that there was heavy Indian influence. I also noticed the textile designs and art seemed to line up more with Persian than Egyptian. Egypt is closer so for a second it did not make sense. I started to remember my Comparative Mythology reading and remembered there were common lineages with Vedic...
