Hi, none of you may know me but my name is Joe. I have started my own charity organization that will be donating to charities that build schools in Africa. I have a Facebook page set up that is connected to my Youtube account. I will include the links at the end. The overall theme of the organization is that through expressing ourselves, specifically martial arts, we become more than human. Through this, I got the idea to start a charity organization. Currently the Youtube page has not been reformated but the more views we get on youtube the faster we can reach a Youtube sponsor, which means money, and all be donated, none of it will be kept for personal gain. I’m also in the process of contacting charities, so far I’ve talked to Building Africa through Facebook. Also, when we reach a point where people notice us we will be maiking shirts and other things along those lines, again with all proceeds going to charity. The name of the group is Rising Sun Studio Productions.

I have yet to figure out how to set up donation features on the sites but if you can spread the word to anyone you know!
Thank you for your time,
Joe Jaracz C.E.O. of Rising Sun Studio Productions™

Chicago marathon. This adorable little girl was cheering on her “dadda.” She was actually past the area that the cheerers were supposed to be, but no one stopped her.

“Very few things in life are permanent. Every moment is temperamental, taken from us or forever altered at a moment’s notice. Going into the new year, I wished to collect the memories one day at a time, to document my everyday endeavours and build upon a lifetime of stories, each photo describing a moment of time in my life. I remembered when I was little and every day seemed so special. I wished to capture those emotions again.
Every person has a story to be told, a unique adventure that no one else will fully experience. I feel as though every individual has lessons to be shared that can benefit and even inspire others in one way or another. At the end of the day, that is all that truly matters.” - LoganSubmitted by: http://logey.tumblr.com/

Stephen, FL
The following day I called the office and asked to speak to the doctor. He took my call. Asking him what had transpired and telling him that we arrived home and Mother had taken to her bed and not another word had been spoken about it, he said. “Well, Stephen, I told your parents that you were the most well-adjusted teenager and homosexual I’ve ever me, and that it was they who needed therapy to address and resolve their own conflicts about it.”
And ever since, wherever, whenever, with whom ever, I’ve been myself. Solid. Confident. Frightened. Unsure. Definite. Strong. Kind. Lover. Fuck Buddy. Son. Brother. Friend. Never thinking it was necessary to be ‘proud’ since I am myself. It is all I’ve ever known and, with luck, all I will continue to be for a long, long time.
I strongly recommend everyone check out my friend Scott’s new book, Gay in America, from which the photo and text above appear. He has taken some beautiful portraits and gathered some very moving stories of faces from all across the US.
