How to cover tattoos for work

compassion, olive oil, wiccan ritual and protest

compassion: Today i was at Lake Eola and I noticed a man sitting on the grass talking to himself. Then another man walked by and started harassing him. Calling him crazy, disgusting, a disgrace. Telling him he needs to change his shirt and get a life. I was disgusted, so i spoke up. Told the bastard “Hey, leave him alone! Thats not nice!” Unfortunately he started yelling at me too so i just walked away. This man was sitting peacefully on the ground not bothering anyone, and he did not deserve to be berated and beilttled like that. No one does. 

A while back while I was at Earth Fest, someone gave me a card(which I now use a bookmark) The card described how to be compassionate. It said focus on a complete stranger and say to yourself “Just like me, this person in seeking happiness in their life. Just like me, this person has known sadness or depression. Just like me, this person is trying to avoid suffering in their life.” I try to follow these principles.

oil cleansing method, 2 months: I am so happy with the results from washing my face with olive oil! I have been doing it for 2 months and my skin has gotten so clear. I used to have a ton of acne and breakouts, but mom said my skin looks like it did when i was a young child. I know it seems really weird to wash your face with oilve oil, but it really works.It removes the dirty oil from your skin and replaces it with clean oil, therefore cleansing your skin. You should try it.

wiccan ritual: There is a pagan meetup group i have recently joined. Each month, they have a ritual held in the leaders backyard, it was pretty cool. We lined up and one by one entered the circle. A girl sprayed some incense on me and asked, “How do you enter the circle?” and i was told im supposed to respond by saying “With perfect light and perfect love” Then we entered the circle and said some chants to each element invoking Aphrodite. They told us about her story. Which to me is just a greek myth but okay, i’ll go along with it. (I’m still an atheist) A girl walked around and sprinkled water on us. Then they passed around a jar of oil. We wiped the oil on our forehead and wrists while saying “This potion will protect me from all harm.” We meditated for about 15 minutes which i liked. We poured water into a bucket, which was supposedly cleansing the water or something. A girl walked around with a wet flower and tapped in our our forehead. Because we were celebrating the may full flower moon. There was also purple flower petals lain around the fire pit which was pretty. Some people walked around the circle giving us wine and cake and saying “May you never thirst. May you never hunger.” Then we said the chants to the elements saying goodbye to the gods and the ritual was over. We had potluck dinner which was great and vegetarian friendly. I pigged out :)

protest: I went to a protest called March Against Monsanto. Which is basically about how harmful genetically modified foods are. How bady they are affecting our health. And if they insist on making foods genetically modified, then they should at least label it GMO so we know what we are eating. And can decide if we want to put that in our body. The way things are now, alot of people dont even know what GMO or monsanto is and are unknowingly eating it, which is causing serious health issues such as diabtes and cancer. So one thing we can do is go organic, which is very expensive. Or you can check the labels. Some chemicals i remember are agent orange and apertaime. I know about aspertaime because my mom said that contributed to her Graves disease. It is found in sugar free gum i believe. Probably all artificial sweeteners. So folks do yourself a favor and stay away from artifical sweeteners!

update on my life

okay well i got my real estate license. then i quit my telemarketing job of 2 years to work at subway. got fired from subway after 4 days and now im just plain old unemployed. if i dont find a job soon im gonna have to go back into telemarking and stay there for alittle while until i can save up enough money to start real estate. real estate has a large start up cost bcuz it is an investment. dammit, im so close to my goal but so far away. at least i have skills and am not on the street begging for money. but i do know what it feels like to be at rock bottom and thats why i have a lot of sympathy for homeless people i always try to help out when i have some loose dollars on me. maybe one day i will make a difference.
