...the switch is off
TV had me jaded this morning... I only turned it on to catch US Open updates - Not to get into another internal debate over racial issues.
I'm come to accept that I'm slightly racist. Not the "hold your black first high" either. My comments and anxieties are based on my observations of divisions in race, class and culture...social stratification. My experiences as a child, youth, young adult, whatever... maybe my view and experiences come off as racist, trust me, they're far from it. I'm only bringing humor to current situations (what I see and what I've experienced).
...and it's not as if race isnt an underlying factor in America.
And if you know me, if you really know me, you know I'm the opposite of racist. Knowing me goes far beyond reading whatever banter I present for your entertainment. Hear me out - I'm trying to make it easier to see what my eyes see, what my heart feels and what my brain thinks.
...and I'll keep it honest, always!
Knowing me is loving and hating me for me. It's not as if I'm collecting my thoughts for any sort of gain other than a better understanding and respect for myself. It's not like I have anything to hide either. Fuck it man, being honest is honest. Love it or hate it. This is how I am, this is what I do - I keep it honest and I keeps it real. Try me...
Forget the moments when "keeping it real goes wrong."
...and I'm all for action - I'll make a decision. Wrong or right. Theory and action.
What do you expect me to say or do? Dont think I'm going to sit back with my 200+ channels from Comcast and make my commentary on what we could do to make _our_ lives better? I'm pulling up my spurs and acting out my thoughts, my ideas, whatever I feel and believe will make _our_ lives better. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. If I'm right I'll probably rub it in your face. Seriously though, I'm not going through life with observations, one motion away from changing the channel. I'm not going to observe how life could be, I'm going to participate in how life should be!
...and I'll fucking banter until the bitter end ;-)
Alas, I'm in a great mood! I'm livid! It's FryDay and I'm about to leave work for the comfort of a bar stool at John Harvards.
I had a few plans for the weekend but I've tossed them aside. Why? Friends are important to me and I'm not going to dance the night away, alone.. feel meh? I'm not a procrastinator either; plans sometimes do not work out - or I lose interest in them. This is what I do, I make plans - if they play out proper then good, if not, I'll do something else - it's better than _thinking_ about what to do. So, procrastination might be me taking my good ole time! Either way I get things done (and I enjoy them). Goals?
And with that said, I'm going to enjoy a weekend with my boys and my girls. I'm going to get drunk, smoke a few spliffs, play video games, spin records, laugh my ass off, do laundry, cut my grass and trim my hedges, re-ip my home network, work on my house, get lumber for my art project, hack my home network, learn the proper trolley routes and enjoy being alive. Will you join me?

'Stefari,
This is a de-lurking commital post. First time at the blog, but I figured the more comments, the more that'll go to the relief effort.
For the comment, be careful doing an art project while 'spliffed.' The last thing someone needs to be doing is using a rotory saw and turning to the door thinking that the stove might be on.
