I have succeeded in making my room smell like tea with chai-like overtones. My life is complete. And I think I'm going to make tea.Wednesday, January 01, 2003
Wow! I got to interact with the outside world today!! Last night I actually had company(besides a thrilling episode of "Family Ties") and this afternoon my mother actually asked if someone wanted to come over! wooo. Maybe my prison is wearing off a little. Wait. I shouldn't say that. I probably just ruined it for myself. darnit. Oh well. The guy at the 7-11 speaks Tagalog. and at Albertsons today is a Holiday so they don't sell Money orders.Next step ing freedom: Go on a nice long walk. I haven't been out since... yeah. a long time.
I want to beat the sh!t out of Danny Gamez.
I'm getting very annoyed.
Because of him and his lackeys I had to get up before 11 this morning to clean my yard.
For this, he must die.

Why are people so stupid?? Reverse discrimination isn't reverse, it's just discrimination! What a bunch of morons.Discrimination: Treatment or consideration based on class or category rather than individual merit; partiality or prejudice
Now what would be the reverse of that? It's not equality either. Equality is the absence of discrimination. That's not all-around good either. To me, "reverse discrimination" (using that connotation of discrimination) would be random choice not based on anything in particular. The problem is getting people to discriminate on the things that matter, like ability, instead of the superficial things that have no bearing.
Unfortunately there are people who seem to want a society without discrimination, an Equal Society. Sounds utopian, ne? Yeah well Communism is utopian too. In fact this "equal society" is communism. Now communism is a lovely way to operate in a perfect world. -- but wait a moment, see the little uneven wave of your fingernail as you type? remember how it rained on you newly-washed car? Did you hear about those killings of the American Missionaries this morning? This isn't a damn perfect world! -- If there was no discrimination then you could end up with any random person as your doctor since of course schooling and age and ability wouldn’t matter.
The only way Communism works is if everyone sets aside everything they are and all the dreams they had and anything they ever wanted to be and just worked for the good of the whole society. Which of you could ever do that? Even Marx knew that this went against human nature.
I’m not sure where this was going to go. I was just on a political kick right now. Well, an opinionated kick at least. I spent a lot of last night looking at Feminist and anti-feminist sites. And this morning whoever was Sean Hannity's filler host was talking about “reverse” discrimination. Now I’m just kinda thinking all over the place and I have a lot more I want to say but it keeps getting jumbled and I can’t talk about everything at once. And that sort of always turns me towards communism for some reason. I guess because I hate how misrepresented it is and it’s a really easy thing to talk about because it's so obvious. But as funky as this post was I’d still like to say this just because I do:
Lisa is blanched and rosey, Cassandra is a beige tone, and I am yellow-pink with greenish undertones. Who the hell is white?

It's funny how everyone knows when I'm under house arrest. And it's terribly funny that I get in loads of trouble (for my family) when I'm doing badly and when I topple the car I drive the next day. Go figure.Wel it was nice seeing faces again. probably my last for another week besides my own families. Call me ok? I can still take calls. Iono why they don't really care but whatever I can get, ne?
