Let’s t take 2 minutes and 48 seconds to remember Michael Jackson beyond Conrad Murray’s verdict and way beyond all the typical MJ jokes and negativity cause at the end of the day, he was the greatest of all time.
In light of it being Halloween in five days- this Smile Wedesday is dedicated to the spookiest day of the year! Check out this amazing video and spend the next five minutes saying ‘how long did it take them to do that’?
I am not much of a gamer (I feel out of place even saying that word) but I do like to laugh. So take a look at the newest Fifa 12 video game…with few kinks still needing to be worked out.
So there are a few reasons why I am posting this particular video today. The first is that if you know me (or my mother) you will know that I am very proud of my Welsh heritage. My name Sioned has given me a lifetime of mispronunciation, explanations and headaches but I would never change it because it represents one half of who I am.
The second reason is that the Rugby World Cup is going on right now and I am borderline obsessed with the tournament. I have grown up watching my siblings play rugby and all my relatives from Wales are die-hard fans, so you could say that I have been a little influenced. I love the no commercials during games, the confusing rules, the fans and the amazing camaraderie amongst opposing players.

My third reason is that Neonology is about undoing all the oppression that exists in our communities. A big part of that oppression exists within the language we use. In our presentations we talk a lot about the term ‘that’s so gay’ and what it really means. We try to connect the fact that people are using an important part of someone’s identity to describe something bad. It doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t ever feel good. If you are having a hard time with this, try taking something that you love about yourself and imagine if everyone used that to describe something that sucked. ALL THE TIME. Imagine you heard that everyday by people you love and respect. It would be terrible right?! No one deserves to feel so unworthy.
And fourth and most importantly (because you are all wondering how the first three points relate to one another), is Gareth Thomas:

Gareth Thomas is Welsh, Gareth Thomas plays professional rugby (and is one of the most celebrated rugby players in the world), and Gareth Thomas is gay. In fact, Gareth is the only openly gay professional athlete still actively playing in professional leagues. This video gives a brief glimpse into his life before and after he came out to the world.
I have always been proud of my Welsh heritage but learning about Gareth Thomas a few years ago, has made my heart sing with pride! He breaks stereotypes about what being gay means, he recognizes the role that the sports world has in regards to stopping homophobia, and he is living his truth, which at the end of the day is what we are all trying to do.
Thank you Gareth for being a living example of Neonology!!
I know it is back to school week for most people, so I may lose a few fans by posting this amazing video showcasing life on the road but it is too beautiful to pass up! And really, you can MOVE anywhere, it doesn’t necessarily have to be around the globe.
Disclaimer: we do not promote violence at neonology but I think we can all agree that pro-wrestling is about as fake as it gets. This video is presented in recognition of that.
You know when you finish your last exam, you walk out the school doors, the sun is shining and all of a sudden you have the biggest urge to dance?! Well here are some moves from years gone by to give you some inspiration!
