black trenchcoats and cat shoes

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

Ok kids, lets talk about a little subject that has been presented to me recently. Its called freedom of speach.

The first Amendment protects all of us Americans from the government or any other person from muteing our views on society, the world, heck, even our own government. Our entire nation was built on the foundations of free speach. The British said "God save the queen" the settlers said "whats in it for us?".

Today, freedom of speach is still being questioned. Artists (such as myself) have been critisiced on the content of their art as being pornographic or lude and distastefull. Radio talk show host, Howard Stern has had the FCC after his blood since the first day he went off and spoke his mind on radio. Eminem, Meatloaf, Marylin Manson, and various other music artists have been criticised because of lude or vulgar language in their lyrics (some have been even called the devil). Texas chainsaw massacar, Harry Potter, Ulysses, Elvis, Hitchcock, and South Park have all been attacked by cencorship laws and angry parents who vote for the politicians who help pass them.

In the end these so called "lude" and "obsene" blemishes on the fragile skin of America in fact are what make our nation so diverse and unique. Not to mention the most vulgar and satanic of these "blemishes" are what bring/braught in the money and the fans. Thus revealing one of the many human traits of curiosity passed down to us by our neanderthol ancestors.

In conclusion one should never shun something away because it contains opposing views. To truly understand something you should go twards it with an open mind, viewing all aspects and reasoning for its purpose. If you still do not like its message you can turn away, change the channel, press the mute button, and go on with life.

I was just reading a blog written by a person who used to live in Iraq in the 50's.
He is extremely angry at the U.S.'s approach to invadeing Iraq. I honestly agree with him. It's like we went in and just kinda played king of the hill. I remeber reading the flyers that they threw from planes onto Iraq. Not only were the messages crude, like they were talking to children, but reminded e of the nazi propoganda used in Hitlers camapin. If they want to take over or invade something at least think of the people in the country.

I think the major problem is that the government has spent so much time bribeing people with money, that it's forgotten how to truly win the hearts and the respect of the people.

I beleive it is time we reform our ways.

I am officially convinced my job hates me.

Its not the people in it, its just the job itself. Why do I think this? I will tell you god damnit. Today a few minutes b4 the head secretary left she gave me a tape and asked to type everything that the people said exactly as they said it (basically a dictation report). I'm all down with that, I put the head phones on and type away. The first few lines were ok untill the witness began to talk. Now, I cn deal with people muttering (most of my family does), but when your a muttering Jamaican with a stutter thats a whole different fucking ball game. I sat there for an hour, prevented myself from eating the tape recorder, got three pages done, and gave up (besides, it was 30 mins past my the end of my shift).

Found out Dan broke up w/ Pati. Kinda happy for him, she was way too controling. Maybe thats the reason he dumped her *shrugs*.

My dad messed up my cooper union portfolio review days (why am I not surprised). He reschedualed it to some time this week (better not be friday of next week...just want to get the damn thing over with).

Next week is ye ole annula Boces Art student feild trip to the Metropoliton musum of art (WOOOO!). Who will get peirced this year? Who will get drunk off their ass and wander around the village screaming slurs at the homeless rastas? Who will loose their virginity....and by loose their virginity, I mean loose their virgin pale skin to a tatoo *evil laugh*. This year's trip should be a barrel of monekys...seeing the art department is equivalent to that *eats a bannana*.

Time to get ready for tommorow. What do I have for tommorow you wonder......

NOTHING!!HAHA! *dances away*

It's a beautiful day!^^
Things have become a lot quieter and calm. Working on all my college stuff has become a little better and a lot more twards my own pace. I think I'm skrewed in regular school though. I missed a lot of major projects because I kind of dug myself a hole of isolation with the whole relationship and college thing. Now that I'm out of that, I am kicking myself, but I have to clean up my own mess.

I found out what my christmas present is going to be....a parrolet!!! My mom knows how much I love them so she's getting me a baby to raise. Reasons why she's getting me one is that she saw them for $100 each (which is cheap) at a canary and exotic bird show. Unfortunetly all of them were sold so shes waiting for the next clutch to hatch (which will be around December). I got every thing ready for the little guy (or girl). Just cant think of a name.....maybe ace if its a guy *shrugs*

Been talkin with Dan lately. He said Oneonta is know for their teaching degrees (so did the brocure). They also have a good cg department. I'm thinking I might go there and get my teaching degree and then come back to Long Island and work on my arts managment degree at Pratt (good if you want to open up a small buisness). He's comeing back for thanksgiving (woot!) so the group will be united once again ^^.

Kaiju big battle is in two weeks...WOOT!xD (www.kaiju.com)
I'm all psyched and I'm buying tickets online hopefully soon. Dusto is supposed to be fighting napalean.....so very intriguing....
