This Is A Man's World, Queen! (c/o Regenia Phillips)

Interview Thank You Note: c/o Regenia Phillips of Collin College

Pertaining to the interview (or lack thereof), I would like to pose a rebuttal; not a question, as you may have requested.
It was pointless, I might say, to prompt only two questions regarding my previous experience(s), which were prevalent in the resume before you. I assume, in the 30 minutes I was late, you had ample time to read over my resume; assert your opinions; and, make haste over my prior experiences. I am terribly glad, that I had respect enough for you, to apologize for my tardiness. But, if my being late were a problem, maybe your e-mail response should not have been "no problem." I would have gladly not shown myself, if I had known a blatant show of conceit and ridicule were in-store for me.
It is of no place, for a hiring party--much less, a woman-- to judge the experiences of a [man] individual with callous and apprehensive intent. What could you possibly know about the plights of a man: how he uses his mind, not a heavy heart to determine his intentions. If the power, I serve, encourages me to move forward--by the will which carries me--you can bet your emotional ass, growth is in order.
You have no idea about, nor regard for the path I've taken to achieve the graces, which I have. You cannot image the struggles incurred, the conflict ensued, and sacrifices given to even share the same space, as someone like me. I do not owe you an explanation, for the short-term experiences I've had. What I can give you...and furthermore, what should reflect, in those changes, is the ability of a man to take risk; offer himself where he's inspired; and, most importantly take on challenges, in the face of devastation. Yes, I've had trivial moments; we all shall.
The truth is, that you have the clean version of my documentation of experiences. I have gone to the pits of professional & psychological hell, for some of my jobs and experiences... if only to occupy my time, judicially, as opposed to criminally. I have triumphed over trials of doubt and dismay, during some of my education. But, my changes are my own! My history is my own! My path to becoming a stronger character is my own! My path with God is my own!
It would have been nice to chat with you about the people who helped me discover my greatest work; or, even why I believe the job is a great fit, for me. The basics! But, you are basic. You are pompous. You are negative and condescending, in your feedback. You are a black face in a white-rat race! You are an extremist...and Collin College should know you are a pain, in your colleagues and "applicants" ass. It's true you may have spent time at Yale University, but it was short-lived. Additionally, you have had four jobs, in the past five years. Could you explain those changes; and, are they loses? Yale, UNT, Baylor Health, Collin College...did anyone judge your decisions? Professional, personal, or was it spiritual...maybe, First Lady Regenia ⛪.
It could have been interesting to work and grow my management skills, at your place of business. It could have been interesting to increase the level of diversity, at your place of business. It could have been interesting, just to have the decency & respect of you conducting a proper interview--from one spirit to another.
But, life isn't that way. Life is not easy. And, you cannot predict the many assholes I've met, just like you who have tried to put me, in my place...and, then proceed to "tell me about myself." Obviously, you neglected to observe my value for education; my diverse, but seamless skill-set; and, my ability to strategize and reinvent. Yet, you will be no obstacle for me; I see it as the same shit, different season. Another learning reason. You are the hater, that gives life to my legacy.
PS: I may do my time: 3 to 5, as you suggested in years, for my next employer. That may have been your only good perspective, before insulting by saying to head back to 'my neck of the woods' for someone to hire me "over there"; But, I'll never "come back to see" you; never stop dreaming; never stop achieving greater than I have; and, I will never think lightly of another's--especially today's woman--cability to emancipate himself, and implicate and extricate demands from another. Neither should you.

Edward "the Great"

I met this seemingly brilliant young man last night. He insisted I call him "Daddy." We did some amazing things. I was up and I was down....but all the time he was inside. Telling me who I was, how to use my body, and asking who he was...."Daddy!" Over and over... Honestly, never called anyone Daddy, that much on life. I probably sounded weird, but this man used me like I was his to take. I was so down for him.   It's been a great 11 years since I felt so good. And really; beyond the pleasure, I felt healed. Like he touches a special place, both inside me and within me. He is sensitive but passionate. Affectionate but demanding. Kind and concerned.  I  feel like I have built so many barriers to intimacy, so I as not even actualize it, if it's possible. But with "the Great," there is an instinctive understanding and longing for both of us.  One the second night, after a 12 hour day of connecting and sensuality, where he convinced me "you ain

Remial Syndromes, Quirks, & Chronic Behavior

The toughest thing to understand about life is knowing you have a difficulty, which cannot be controlled or manipulated. Most people are diagnosed with psychological disorders, see therapist and physicians, or have some coping mechanism providing them "a way out," if you will. But for others, that are more intuitive & thoughtfully creative, the problem isn't a medical one. Yes, there's a possibility for a certain anxiety; but, in my experiences navigating this very esoteric life, the nature of 5his particular coping has more to do with finding strategic methods of development & acceptance, allowing one to continue his lifestyle. Personally, my journey has been about, first, trying to process the reality, that, I am psychologically different. Aside from my usual bouts with depression, I believe, I do have an alternative way of thinking and constructing patterns and memories, which accordingly help to keep my life consistent, or alter it. Moreover, it's
