  • Stupid Stupid Stupid.
    Seriously!

    Palestinians! When will you learn?
    How many years have to pass? How many of your people have to die? How many chances do you need to blow before you freaking learn?

    You've wanted your land for 60+ years!! Do you really want it? Or do you just want to spend the next 100 years bitching some more, crying some more, killing some more, and bickering even more amongst yourselves?
    Is that your grand solution to your problems?
    Are you never going to get smart, unite, and make your case? Your biggest example of a success is sitting in YOUR land! Have you never learned NOTHING from them? If you stopped seeing red you might see something else worth reaching for- your freedom! Look at history and look at yourselves and find the best way to fix your problems because what you've been doing is certainly not helping!



    I'm not saying that the odds aren't against you. But there have been people in worse situations (umm Jews?) who have defeated the odds!


    So why can't you?

    This is kind of the vent I've been holding for weeks after hearing about the planned protest here in Memphis. Honestly, if they were so excited about the cause, why can't they plan year round discussion groups in the community where you really address the issues? Reach out to groups who are typically wary of Palestinians and appeal to them maybe? People pay attention to the guy dressed smartly in a  suit and tie that speaks frankly to them at a level they understand that doesn't call them ignorant and stupid for thinking otherwise.
     There are so many other more effective way to get the word across that could be used but won't be because they're not loud enough- not aggressive enough. But people don't understand that passive methods that inspire intelligent dialogue are sometimes your biggest weapons against a group of people that did exactly that.

  • Yay to the World

    The world is a craphole...yay?

    What exactly can you say that can possibly describe the world today?

    Americans are all complaining (including me..'cause duh I'm sharing the pain too) high gas prices, high food prices, shitty real estate, crappy war, dumbf**k president...did I miss something?

    And the rest of the world?

    We got Myanmar with some crazy military that doesn't want to give people food- where's the logic in that? Who're you gonna abuse if you starve all the peasants anyways?

    Then poor China with its 7.9 earthquake and a gazillion people (I exaggerate- I hope you notice) dead or homeless...with rain! -really sucks for them=|

    Then yes, lets go back to the Mid East.  Israel's gonna be celebrating its 60 years' worth history of killing people, exploiting others, and crying about a Holocaust that has nothing to do with 'them' if you get my drift.

    And the Palestinians will be protesting 60 years of suffering and 60 years of their continued inability to organize one f**king organization that doesn't bicker like five year old children and actually gets something done. Who actually thinks their situation is changing 60 years from now?? Anyone?

    And Lebanon? Oh I'm sorry, they're still functioning? Weren't they having a bitchfest two minutes ago about who's more badass- the government or the non-government that probably kicks more ass anyways?

    And how's Iraq doing? Still fighting? 100 years anyone?

    And of course our world food crisis. What else can I say aside from...I'm really sorry I'm eating all the rice you guys probably need more, I pray we make more food so I can give it to you?

    I'm serious though. This is really sad. Feels like the world in general is falling apart.

    Except of course the economy sans the US is doing super duper. Hell we'd be right up there too if our President didn't just spend eight years deteriorating the entire infrastructure of this country by his negligence....

    Sooo....in other news.

    I'm currently killing time because I slept for 14 hours the previous night...

    And now...I'm looking for movies! Unfortunately the appeal of watching movies online is more tempting when you have homework and deadlines. Now it's just..whenever you can sit through one.
    Still, any recs are greatly appreciated....

    And finally I'm really really wanting to burst with news about something...that I can't cause my mom told me not to and for some reason I still listen to her..I'm such a wuss. Oooh well, it makes me really happy and relieved and yay inside but yeah, I'm not supposed to tell and I'm not sure why....

    So I'll tell whenever I can't keep it in and spill my guts.
    :)
    Taa.

  • hah. Sometimes, you've just got to love China and its 'We-take-no-BS' policy.

    China critiques U.S. human rights record

    BEIJING, March 13 (UPI) -- The United States has its own record of human rights abuse, such as improperly obtaining citizens' personal information and rising crime, China said Wednesday.

    The report from the information office of China's State Council came after Tuesday's release of the U.S. State Department's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2007, which criticized China's human rights conditions.

    The Chinese counterattack said the United States reigns over other countries and makes arrogant and malicious attacks on their human rights issues, while mentioning nothing about its own human rights infractions, Xinhua reported.

    Other U.S. abuses mentioned in the Chinese report include restriction of workers' right to unionize, the "cash race" permeating various U.S. elections, abuse of U.S. jail inmates, inadequate healthcare, one of eight U.S. citizens living in poverty, and money and work becoming major causes of stress among people.

    The publishers said their report would "help the people have a better understanding of the real situation in the United States and as a reminder for the United States to reflect upon its own issues."

    Earlier, responding to the U.S. report, China said it opposes any intervention in the internal affairs of other countries using the excuse of human rights concern.

  • Watch Charlie Wilson's War please. Sometimes movies that matter need to be seen for something more than whether to see if Tom Hanks is going to be getting some sort of award for his performance though: :)

    School. This Monday. No more room to fuck up. (My tongue's loose tonight thanks to that movie) Seriously, need some really fat A's or else I forfeit. I mean it. I can't spend my life after a dream if I can't pick it up now and get my head in the game.

    It's now or never. Self made Epiphanies mean shit. Poise. Control. Intelligence. Dreams. Wants. All useless unless you're actually doing something for them. And if not, quit fucking regretting it.
    Also gimmicky lines are meaningless to people who sit around doing nothing. If you pull a nifty quote about aspirations and dreams, it better mean something more than words to you.

    And yes, people need to listen when a friend fucking tells you to be fucking careful with your life because sometimes people do see the shit around you better than you do.  And if you know it already then shut your know-it-all trap and listen anyways because if you don't you're losing a valuable friend. And if you don't know it already, don't fucking act like you do and blow said brilliant friend off because you're shooting yourself in the ass- not foot because who cares if you lose a foot? In the end the boring friends stay put when you've got shit in your life and the ones that wanted you to have some fun- well they go and have some fun while you're left wondering what the hell just happened.
    The good news is not much of what I just typed in that last paragraph applies to me because I care very little for people's lives these days. I can only do so much and I think I do what I can. And if I don't then yea, I let myself be selfish a time or two because let's face it- I'm human.
    One thing I learned in my year of hell-2007- is that I really hate girls. I mean it. There's people- the ones I love and can count on. And then there's girls- shitty excuses for people that you can't depend on for anything but a fake smile. And of course, there's always going to be an exception because I haven't met every single person on Earth and frankly never will.  But girls. We're the fucking know-it-alls of the world and we'd like to think we're the shit but in the end, we're not and we're deluding ourselves if we think differently.
    Men? Who cares? It comes down to the fact that we may never be satisfied with the opposite gender because we're not men. And we never will be either so we can just resign ourselves now and practice on just making sure the men in our life in the present and future that matter can be manipulated to the extent that we need them and then left to their own devices when we don't.

    If I don't stop now, I may never stop. I don't know if a whole lot of that made sense but it's out there and I'm not planning on proofreading it before I post because I'd probably chuck it all out.

    I'm not depressed, or bitter, or upset by any means. I'm quit happy here with my Karsh Kale track (he's awesome btw!) But once you start going, every annoyance from the past year or so of silence sort of flaws out so there you have it.
    In the future I won't use dirty words as much I hope.....

  • OMG!!

    Hah.
     I found old poems from when I was.....16!
    Lots of them....

    Reading through them, I feel like I didn't even write them!

    I'm surprised though..I wasn't too terrible.
    A bit angst-y? Dramatic? Gushing?
    But I was 16.
    Can't expect more out of me at that age...
    I suppose?
