I don't like

Co-op parties. You know, I'm not a big fan of large parties with lots of people I don't know either. Actually they are one and the same. I also don't like the disturbing trend of talking babies in commercials. Babies dont talk, its part of their charm. Quizno's, huggies, I'm looking in your direction. Baby girls don't say or think "you go girl" and baby boys don't have sex drives or like Italian supermodels. Bottom line, too many people in one place is not only a fire hazard, but make for an uncomfortable situation in my book, I like my space. Other bottom line: Babies don't talk, especially not with adult voices exclaiming worn out cliche's to others.

It was nice to not feel obligated to have to go tonight. Especially b/c I have been walkign aorund on a still very weak leg a ton today, and I have a sinus headache since it won't just freaking rain already.

I don't like how they are calling victims of this hurricane "Them". We're all human, and it is, I like to think, human nature to assist those in need, whether they are rich or poor or both, black white or anywhere in between, gay straight bi or transgendered, handicapped or able bodied, educated or illiterate. While this hurricane has finally brought much needed attention to the ecinomic conditions that plague so many African Americans in the south, but to label and group "poor southern blacks" as "them" is a major step backwards in our society.

HELL YEAH YOU GO SISTA! It fits in with the whole notion of "otherness" that people have used to seperate groups of people from the mainstream. It's backwards and american and shows that there are many conscious factors involved with inequalities in our fantastic american society.
