Rhonda Found A Dog
Today Rhonda Found a little chuihaha right before the big snow storm. He was a little rascal to catch. We brought him in the house and he was pissing and shitting on everything. He was able to clear jump over the doggy gate and onto the kitchen table. He’s like 2 pounds.
We’re gonna have to give him away soon but Rhonda doesn’t want to. I know it.
The Damn Bush people
Today this graced the headlines but was burried beneath Mily Sirus or whatever the her name is news:
“Top government officials illegally used a political litmus test when they considered adding a lawyer to the U.S. attorney’s office in Kansas City, a federal report released Monday says.”
Bush is so shameful it is saddening for all America. Monica Goodling, the wonder chic Bush found at a right wing christian law school (chritian law school? yes christian law school) used bias hiring practices to boot democrats and revitalize republicans in the justice department to help bush carry his tyranny of terror from horizon to horizon. Damn them all!
In addition, Ted Stevens, senator that is, got indicted on 7 counts of corruption for accepting money from oil companies. Corruption week must be on the cusp of initiating because everyone seems to be practicing for some big event. like who can win the race to prison.
Obama The Man
He wooed international crowds on a trip breeding universal unity like no other. He is unstoppable. Never in our history have we seen a presidential candidate embraced by the world the way Obama has been. Even the terrorists like him. What a guy!
Did I mention his books are awesome?
Crazy
Today the news had a story about a church in Texas who held a woman against her own will performing an exorcism on her for two days, beating her and other acts, was found innocent in the eyes of the Texas supreme court when the woman sued the church. The court sited it would be in violation of the churches first amendment rights.
This is insane. In the name of religion you can basically do anything. Where do you draw the line?
Societal Faultlines
Society seems to desire short term satisfaction without long term consideration. This instant gratification culture that has been nurtured by the media and corporations is a most dis-empowering state for us all to be in, black, white or otherwise.
Sean Bell Verdict. What The FUCK!!!
What now? Where is the public outrage? People must be too pacified to raise up against the establishment. This makes me very concerned about the future, leaning towards an outcome not in favor of justice and righteousness. Today is a most dark day in the history of morality and virtue.
Dick Gregory Strikes Again
Dick Gregory is a true champion. During his, what must have been 30 minute rant at the Black State of The Union Address he touched on some very profound topics.
I love the statement that he made saying that America has for fathers but no mother. No mother to teach it how to clean itself. America has dirty past and just because you put on a new suit but never cleanse yourself, it does not make it alright. America is the dirty man in the room with a brand new suit on asking everybody else “What’s that smell.”
It’s You America.
America fails to clean itself of its own historical dirt therefore it is impossible to call itself dignified at this time. Only when it addresses the moral injustices of slavery and its policies in regions of the world it has no right to impose its power on will it resemble the beautiful place we all know it can be.
Cornel on Hip Hop
Hip Hop has a progressive side lead by artist such as Common, Kanye, Talib, Lupe Fiasco and others as well as deeply regressive, misogynistic, hateful, materialistic, homophobic, concerned with instant gratification and hedonistic behavior aspect as well. Undeniably this is reflection of the American social landscape as a whole.
Hip Hop as a culture movement is a worldwide phenomenon of great power.
Hip Hop is a reflection of the genius of young black people, beginning in the belly of the American empire but generating new possibilities of hope, yearning for humane treatment at the same time reproducing some of the same systems of domination in their music in which they were resisting in the first place.
Bowling in the gutter
I can’t believe I bowled such a bad game. Wow. It was pretty horrible. Rhonda must think I’m atrocious. What’s actually worst than the horrible game I bowled is the emotional roller coaster I encountered after losing. A feeling of defeat that I have never felt before, that I can only compare to something I felt in 3rd grade when kids made fun of me, overwhelmed to the point of holding back a serious outburst. An outburst of tears, rage and I don’t even know what else.
I realize I have to come to grips somehow and regain emotional control of myself as lately I have not reacted to situations in my typical way. This is gonna take time.
Got Beef?
People aren’t aware that eating beef is not only bad for immediate personal, it is bad for the planets’ health. The amount of resources that are used to create beef, meaning the feed for the cows, the occupation of the farmland and so forth, have heavy negative consequences on the environment. Not to mention, that the biggest threat to our atmosphere is the methane gas produced from cows. They emit more pollution than all the automobiles in the world.
This is a post I made particularly in light of a conversation I had with Rhonda. She is probably the only person who is going to read this and whom I promised not to bug about eating meat, and I won’t, except for this. (Ok. We’ll see.)
