THE JURASSIC 5 BUS BENCH OMGsugarcoatedsourSeptember 2 2003, 16:12:43 UTC
we would often reiterate, in our earlier stages of acquaintance, how different we were in relation to our interests; i think, however, that we are incredibly similar in our conceptualization of thought & emotion. you told me that some of this would be cheesy, but really - i think it's genuine & inspiring.
having spent the better part of my adolescence in white, privileged suburbia, i have not been exposed to a lot of the violence you must see in los angeles urban life [your story was painful to my stomach]. i have also been given a sour outlook on hip-hop culture - 98 lbs. white boys, monochromatic in sweatsuit attire [suffering 109 degree arizona weather, no less], giving me the evil eye from their $50,000 escalades & interrupting my reading at the city bus stop by obnoxiously blaring 50 cent at murderous decibal levels. a lot of these kids are so spoiled & uncultured; i think that you've given me a more positive perspective. i think music in any form, whether it is desirable to my tastes or not, is beautiful in the way that it touches people and inspires them.
i agree with your statements on p.c. learning environments - i think that the term itself has been stretched beyond its longevity. respect is key, but when you have to omit gender-specific pronouns to avoid upsetting a particularly sensitive individual, you need to draw the fucking line. i think with the question of prejudice, a lot of people mistake this kind of judgment for blatant racism; you really recognize a lot of natural human behavior and admit to it effortlessly. i think that you are incredibly talented and intellectual in both your strengths and your flaws.
going off on a tangent, isn't it so awesome how lyrics, devoid of music, can suddenly be a product of any genre? amazing lyricists are not defined by the brand of music they create. in this context, tupac's lyrics are just as beautiful and poetic to me as a bob dylan song. i think that everyone here has a really refreshing & unique view of life. you told me earlier that perhaps this wasn't the place for you, but i really think it is. there is a lot i have [and would be willing to] learn/ed from you, and i think that others could too.
you are really diverse & sophisticated even in your 'ghetto-ness'. mr. smith goes to washington is a sentimental film for me, too, and e.e. cummings is my favorite poet [we are not so different, you see]. the photo you'd taken gives me some veiled sense of inspiration. on a side note - you look really fucking familiar. i just can't think of who you remind me of, and that, my friend, is annoying.
