Rally Under No Flag.

Revolution

Ever have those thoughts that you just can’t communicate? Every time you decide on one word, you become frustrated with the next five-hundred and just give up? That’s what this has been for me, for the past several years, ever since I first discovered my capability for complex thought. I don’t want to rehash clichés, but it appears as though I simply have to at this point.

What I’m calling for isn’t the implementation of a totalitarian utopian regime. I’m not asking you to give up your personal liberties for a collective, but I am also not asking you to give up the collective for the sake of personal liberty. I only request one simple thing, something I am certain each and every one of you is capable and willing to give.

Revolution.

I am calling upon each and every one of you to revolt, to rebel. Against what, I cannot say. Against whom, that’s shrouded in mystery. But, by every ounce of humanity in your heart and logic in your brains, revolt. Challenge the world around you; seek to always tear it asunder and build it anew from the ground up. Make your reality the reality that is not yours, and make your current reality nothing but a fleeting memory of a bygone era.

I ask each and every one of you to rally behind me as your non-dictatorial leader, here to guide your individual self-revolutions and unite them in purpose.

I ask each and every one of you to fight for what you believe in, but only when it’s what I believe in, and know to stop when you’ve hit that threshold and rein it in a little bit.

I ask each and every one of you to dedicate just a little bit of that revolution-energy to my own revolution, because if you do that, then I can help you, and we’ll be best friends, and you will be rewarded in my non-totalitarian totally-not-a-false-utopian society.

I want you to fight for and protect your own self interests. I want you to fight for and protect my own self-interests as well, because that just so happens to fall within your own self-interests.

If you do this…

If you rally under Steven Christopher McKnight…

If you fight for human decency and love and equality…

If you are willing to forsake yourself to benefit the collective, and forsake the collective to benefit yourself…

I will take you into the arms of my Glorious Revolution.

All hail.

All praise.

All follow Steven C. McKnight.

May his reign be bloody and without end.

Amen.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
