Yeah..yeah...
First of all, my roomate got a journal: breedacubana I think you can all tell that her name is Bree, and she's Cuban. Yay for Bree! :)
Anyway, so...now I update. Nothing too much has really been happening, or so it seems. I'm ready for classes to be over like nobody's damn business, and I just want to relax. It seems like everytime I settle down to do something (like reading, for instance. PS: I'm reading another Zora Neale Hurston novel, Jonah's Gourd Vine. It's a little too damn interesting for its own good. I love the way she writes. Mmm.), someone calls me and invites me somewhere. Sure, I could say no, but..memories are to be had, laughs are to be heard, love is to be made. Ya know?
There's been this big stink going on at my university for the past month or so. There's this fraternity here called Pi Kappa Alpha or something, aka the Pikes. Every year they have a party with a theme. This year it was something concerning black people. Some "ghetto-fabulous" type shit. Anyway, two white boys thought it would be funny to dress up in blackface. Not only did they paint their faces black, but they wore FUBU clothing, and claimed they were "rappers." Not only is FUBU now wack, but not all rappers are black. To top it off, they wore ropes around their necks.
*sighs* Yeah.
So, anyway, the Black Student Alliance (BSA) is all up in arms over this incident. I am too. Shit like that should not be tolerated, and I totally believe that those motherfuckers (the Pikes) should be sent packing, meaning kicked off campus. It's not like they turned those boys away when they showed up at the party, you know? And you know what's so funny to me? The Pikes claim that they aren't a racist organization, and that they embrace diversity. I love how they have a handful of non-white people. They said they are leading in diversity.........Right. They have one black guy, and are pledging another. Puh-fucking-lease. Diversity my ass. And what makes matters worse, to me, is that the University is doing NOTHING about it. They're merely saying, "We have to postpone any hearings until such and such date..." That's bullshit. It needs to be taken care of, and as Phife Dog from ATCQ said, "Now now, but right now."
Other than that....Uh, nothing is going on. Kazue (the Asian female DJ) invited Quentin and I to dinner at her place tomorrow. I don't know who else will be there, but it should be lots of fun. I hope. *chuckles* I hope she cooks traditional food. I'm not really sure where her family is from exactly, but she looks Chinese. *shrugs* Maybe I'll go to MJQ tonight, that'd be great. I'm ready to dance my ass off. Well, not off off, but you know...I want to "just make it clap."
I'll never say that again. Never. Ever. Ever. *shudders* I am NOT Sean Paul, thank God.
