I regret to inform…

everybody, but I have to postpone the debut of all of our shirts. Things were going REALLY smoothly, but me and my partner hit a sudden crack in the road. We are so financially tight right now, we have NO extra money to get this ball rolling. Now, don’t take this as a “this is the end of Free Yourself” because I can damn well asure you, it is NOWHERE near the end. This is just a snag in the road and we intend to fix it. Times are hard for EVERYBODY, not just us and once our priorities are totally figured out and we have enough Moolah in our pockets, we’re going to do this. But, in order to keep ourselves on track we need your help spreading the word!!! Advertise to everybody and tell them all about what’s to come in the coming months. I can assure you, Spring 2010 will most likely be our time to shine, so just wait patiently a little longer and all of you will get to experience FREE LIVING.

Why I do NOT approve of gay “marriage”

luckysays:

willmccloud:

I’m not trying to step on any toes, and I will be the first to say: I AM NOT A HOMOPHOBE.  My mom watches Ellen AND Will & Grace.  However, as an educated christian conservative, I feel it is my duty to enlighten the people of the internet on why an EDUCATED PROFESSIONAL does not believe in gay marriage.  Reason one: marriage has historically been between one man and one woman.  Throughout history, in every culture, it has been the same for years.  Up until recently, homosexuality was non-existent.  Homosexuality is a recent phenomenon brought over at about the time of slavery (not saying it is a related, but it makes you think.)  Speaking of that, reason two: gay marriage will spread the AIDS.  The AIDS is a rapidly forming infection that is VERY EASILY transmitted during homo-sex.  The AIDS is deadly, I know I don’t want my future children to be infected, so I stand proud as a non-supporter.  Think of the kids!  The future of America!  Reason 3: gay marriage encourages homo-sex.  The beauty of discouraging gay marriage is that it has been PROVEN (in multiple studies) to prevent homosexuals from having sex.  The logic is:  ”If I can’t get married, I obviously am not gay, therefore I will not have homo-sex.” It is basic psychology, ask any psychologist. Reason four:  Okay, I know the libbers like Ellen like to make fun of this one, but it is fact.  It is a slippery slope, folks (and no, I am not talking about lesdyke sex..lol) If we allow two men and two men to get married, who is to say it can’t be 50 men and a 13-year-old white girl?  Who is to say it won’t be 2 guys, a girl, and a pizza place?  This is a valid argument, because it is valid.  I don’t want to bring God too much into this, because I am giving an educated response from a scientific POV (that is “point of view”), however, the good book said it itself when it proclaimed ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE. I don’t mean to offend anyone here, I just needed to get this off my chest and say my piece.

Okay, so I need to voice my opinion on this because APPROVE of gay marriage.
Reason 1: Whether marriage has always been viewed between a man and a woman, does not mean each gender can marry someone of their same sex. It’s a matter of choice, you can’t help who you fall in love with or if you find one sex more appealing than the other. That’s just the way it is. Homosexuality has always existed, it wasn’t just plucked out of the sky, it just wasn’t noticed as much. Nobody really knew much about it, I guess, so it was let be.
Reason 2: AIDS can be passed in straight relationships, it’s not just homosexuals that spread it. It doesn’t matter if they get married, if one partner has AIDS in the marriage then they can prevent themselves from spreading it to their other half. AIDS is more likely to spread if a person is not married, gay or straight, because they could sleep with a number of people and it could spread that way.
Reason 3: ”If I can’t get married, I obviously am not gay, therefore I will not have homo-sex.” - This is not true. If you can’t get married, that does not mean you’re not gay and even if they can’t get married they can still have as much sex as they want. With their partner or with whoever they want to have sex with. Marriage should be a matter of choice, it shouldn’t be a legal battle because of who you want to get married to. Everyone should be able to get married, whenever, wherever, to whoever they like.
Reason 4: Okay this annoyed me, how is two men, or two women, getting married in any way like 50 men marrying a 13 year old girl. That is pretty much saying it is sick, wrong, pretty much pedophilia. Two men, or two women, getting married is just like a man and a women getting married. It’s not like they’re a completely different species, they are just normal people who fell in love with someone of their own sex and want the opportunity to marry that person. That’s a normal, acceptable thing. Also, so what if it’s ‘Adam and Eve’ who cares? It was just Adam & Eve, they had no choice but to be with each other to create the human race. After that, it was a matter of choice. You could chose who you wanted to be with because you weren’t restricted to one person. I’m not christian, so let me show you this way.
Look at it this way: If ‘Adam and Eve’ was a correct theory, which we cannot prove, then they would be the mother and father of the world. They created children, then their children created children and so on and so forth. This would be INCEST. I may be wrong with this, but isn’t incest a wrong doing in Christianity? So you can’t go ahead and bash gay marriage when you haven’t looked at the theory of life you follow. Okay? Done. Now I’m angry.

Our friend Kelly definitely wins this argument. Whether you are a man loving a man or a women loving a man, whatever it may be, LOVE IS LOVE. Love is NOT different between people. People who are Gay, Bisexual, or Lesbian are NOT a different species, they are NOT aliens. They deserve the same respect and rights as all straight people do. I am such an active member in such things as this because, I myself, am Bisexual and a dedicated Christ Follower. Such ignorance as this is what is poisoning our world and our children. If you want to think of the children, bash down the lead wall that’s trapping your brain, it’s losing oxygen.

I want to let you in on something…

No, it’s not a secret. But, it’s just me getting worried and raising awareness of some certain subjects that I see all around me. I, myself have fallen victim to seeing suicide attempts at it’s worst. These things are inevitable and we can’t stop the attempts, but what we can do is be a friend. Next time you go to make fun of someone, think of what you could be doing to them. I was teased my entire life growing up from my peers to my own family and I may have been able to rise above it all, someone close to you might not be able to. Help a person out and remember that being a friend is the best gift you can ever give to someone. Another issue I’d like to point out in eating disorders and body issues. Everybody has flaws and everybody embraces them in their own way. And you might not even know it, but your closest friend could be suffering from a life threatening eating disorder. Let me be the first to tell you, YOU cannot stop them. You won’t be able to, it’s a mental thing, but what you can do if help them find some treatment. Your friend may hate you, they may never want to speak to you again for giving them away, but all in all, you should just have their well being in mind. Lend a hand to someone, being a good person. Any little thing can change a person’s life.

Enough of the preaching, big things hopefully coming soon!

Thanks for reading that little thingy, I just wanted to get that off my chest.

goodnight!

Sorry about the inactivity!

Hey everybody, thank you all for being so patient about all of these things going on! I am really sorry that I haven’t had the time to keep you guys updated on all things  Free Yourself. The truth is, there aren’t many things to be updated on. ): Everything is just a money issue, so we’re just waiting for these hard times to get just a little bit easier. But so far, our set release date is pretty much set in stone, and if more problems are to arrive, we’ll let you guys know ASAP! But nothing to be worried about, although there isn’t much going on right now. We’re just awaiting the day that we have the okay to go ahead and do everything we’ve been planning and get some stuff printed up for you guys! (:

That’s all for now, thank you so much for being so patient! ILY!

Summer.

Alright guys, so there isn’t much going on in the world of Free Yourself, we’re just kicking back and enjoying summer before I start school again and before we REALLY get cracking down on work.

The show up at The Loft @ The Chance Complex on July 22nd was one of the best shows I have personally ever attended with amazing music and an amazing crowd and I can only hope that any of those amazing bands are to wear the clothes we strive to produce. I spent the night chilling with I See Stars, Broadway, Emarosa, and Our Last Night, they’re all such sweet dudes.

Also in music, I want every single one of you to check out The Word Alive’s new EP, Empire, out now in stores and on iTunes. They’re some fantastic dudes and their music is absolutely INSANE!

That’s all for now kiddies. <3

-D.

Keep a look out!

Tomorrow night at The Loft @ The Chance Complex in Poughkeepsie, New York. I am going to be there tomorrow seeing some of my favorite bands: I See Stars, Emarosa, Our Last Night, and a lot of others. If you’re a fan of FYA or you read this and are going to be there, if you see me, yell at me or something. I’ll most likely be front row around the stage somewhere, so come hang out! It’s going to be an awesome time, so you should go and support the amazing bands playing there. If you want to say hi and have NO idea what I look like, just go to my personal myspace page and look at a picture.

Peace!

Procrastinate, it’s beneficial!

Yeah, You might think we work long and hard all the freaking time to make sure we have this deadline in the bag. We actually don’t, at all. I’m constantly out partying and having a great time and enjoying life instead of sitting in a room on a computer all day, that’s not healthy!

There isn’t much left for us to do in the planning stage other than set up our webstore and buy/print the designs. But that doesn’t come for a long while, so for now we’re just kicking back and waiting for those money issues to be solved.

See you soon!

My goodness!

It has been a long while since we’ve been able to update anything! Our two main computers both were out of commission for some time. Not to mention that I took a week long vacation late June into early July. It’s been around 2 - 3 weeks and you guys might’ve thought something happened, but everything is still on schedule and we should be keeping it this way!

We just wanted to inform you of the circumstances that were ahead of us and want to let you know that there will be big things and big updates coming very soon.

Bye for now!

Ideas, Ideas.

So after the tragedies that have happened yesterday, I had the idea to do a line of “memorial” shirts. Two lone shirts, memorializing the icons Farrah Fawcett and King of Pop, Michael Jackson. They might not be out for a long while, but I think this would be a good idea! These two deserve memorial…they’ll get them enough but I want to memorialize them as two figures that have been in my lifetime as well as many other peoples.

If you like this idea, go to our myspace and drop us a comment telling us what you think of this. Thanks <3
