An angry loser (right) came to Syracuse University to make a fool of herself by spreading pathetic hatred and was treated to a happy mutant style stunt by this smiling student, named Chris Pesto (left).
“I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more.
This woman was wearing a ankle-length corduroy skirt, which, as we all know, is a fashion nono. So, in order to make her feel uncomfortable, I stood next to her and held a sign that said Corduroy skirts are a sin! I don’t think I have ever drawn so much attention in my life. SO many people asked to take a picture with me, I got laughs, high fives and there were the few that even cursed off the woman standing behind me.
As I drew interest to what was going on with myself and the woman with the hateful sign, I started to draw a crowd that stood with me in support. Before I knew it I had 100+ people holding signs for gay rights asking people to honk their horns to support. I was interviewed by a news station, and more than 5 student organization papers, and the post standard of syracuse.
I never expected anybody to come stand by me and support and I appreciate it so much that everyone came! It meant so much and it proved to those ignorant people that we aren’t afraid, and we will put up a fight. I’m proud that Syracuse has such a homosexual friendly community.”

Book Review: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
booklover:
distantheartbeats:

“She loved to jump on her bed. She jumped on her bed for so many years that one afternoon, while I watched her jump, the seams burst. Feathers filled the small room. Our laughter kept the feathers in the air. I thought about birds. Could they fly if there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?” ~ Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer
I just completely adored this book. It’s the first of his that I’ve read, and before I even finished it, I walked to the bookstore and bought Everything Is Illuminated. He is a wonderful writer, whose words shows the world through the eyes of a wounded nine-year-old who still looks at the world in a sense of wonder, but who is intelligent and thus Safran Foer touches us by exploiting the child within. As a writer, I’m extremely attached to this story. The more we grow up the more we seem to lose the ability to look at something and see it in a unique way. There are just so many instances where you want to look up and say to the author, Exactly! You got that exactly right.
Oskar’s story is touching, and I especially like how Safran Foer came at the story of 9/11 from a completely different angle. It’s a novel I’ll come back to time and again for inspiration.
Read it.
one of my favorite books. ever.
