What A Time To Be Alive...

A Trump supporter rally is going to happen at the same time as a Juggalo rally.

I can't believe I forgot to date my calendar for tomorrow. September 16th is a very special day! It's a good thing that I remembered the event planned to take place in Washington, it's not every day I get to see a clash between Juggalos and Trump supporters. That is right, Juggalos and Trump supporters are going to be protesting in Washington this Saturday! Grab some popcorn and a soda, because it's about to go down. I know this is all so sudden-you're probably just as shocked as you are discombobulated, but bear with me for a second. I'll give you a quick run down on the situation at hand.

Let me give you a quick explanation of the motifs behind both parties. I'll start with the Trump supporters; here by known as "the Trumps". Apparently the Trumps are holding a "mother of all rallies" in support of "traditional" American culture. They want to show the fake mainstream media, leftists, and ultimately the world that America stands united with Trump; ready to protect their culture and boarders from globalist invaders. On the opposite side of ring, we have the Juggalos. In case you don't know, Juggalos are what the fans of musical hip hop group Insane Clown Posse call themselves. Unfortunately, their public image is less than stellar. To most people they are known as rambunctious, annoying fans who enjoy covering everything within their vicinity with Faygo, and have bad taste in music. The internet is no friend either as they've largely become a meme. In fact, their brand is so tarnished, the FBI has labeled them a "hybrid gang," which is exactly why they are protesting this Saturday. Unlike the former's motive, this is no laughing matter. They can lose their jobs and even the custody of their children.

It is interesting to note that the music group does not support racism (one of their songs actually attacks the confederate flag as a cultural symbol), so it will be interesting to see these two protest-rallies take place. Some people believe there will be a clash, while some believe otherwise. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling until tomorrow becomes today.

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.

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!
