okay, that last one is a bit of an understatement
MLK day is really great and all that, but i wonder at the sincerity of the holiday. i mean, really. the wayside was packed last nite, when on sundays its normally fucking dead- you dont think that its because classes were cancelled today, do you? and as soon as mr. bush supports anything for minorities other than certian doom i seriously begin to wonder.
do people actually believe bush when he talks about shit like that?
to be honest, all the day means for me is that the bank and FIA were closed, which was a huge pain in the ass.
im not slighting MLK- im just saying the obvious. unless people are willing to look at economic discrimination and its relation to racial discrimination and actually plan to do something, having a nice holiday for a nice man doesnt really do anything. sorry.
still sick. no more cigarettes, ever.
writing poetry for my class is harder than i remember; im resisting the urge to churn out 5 lines of crap and show up for peer review ready and willing to abuse his "everyone gets an A" policy.
russ and i are really starting to plan the california adventure. its weird, but i never really thought id wind up doing this, and now its like 5 weeks away.
we're going to visit the grand canyon and the national stripper museum.
for academic purposes, of course.
we still dont have any real plans or preperations or a map or know how we're gonna get there or how long we'll be out there or anything, really. but i think if we just go and not worry about the periphials things will work out.
in other news, i got drunk and saw a great band with jen at rubbles. now i hate rubbles, and i hate cover charges for bars, so if im at the rubbles and im paying a cover im going to be sure to have a damn good time, and if youre next to me on the dance floor and my "having a good time" involves multiple invasions of your personal space, too damn bad! i wouldnt be pushing you if you were dancing, jackass!
all im saying is that its a "dance floor", not a "stand there in a boring fashion and just stare at the stage floor". there's plenty of room for that at the edges of the floor or in the rest of the bar.
in all fairness, though, i can be a little obnoxious when ive had a few drinks and happy music is playing.
