| On Racism. |
[02 Jul 2008|10:03am] |
I'm an alright guy. I pay my dues. I Love my family. I put my pants on by stepping into them while they're on the floor (where i took them off) and pull them up. So technically, two legs at a time. All I'm saying is you and I aren't so different.
I probably have a smaller wang. (I'm looking at you Ericka.)
So why blame me for your problems? The racism you accuse me of is no different than the racism you spout. A woman died recently, and nobody helped her. This is a huge issue right? You would think people would go "Wow, something needs to change." Or even "These are my tax dollars at work?" My heart goes out to those who lost someone. I know the pain can be unbearable. You would think that at the very least, people would be sympathetic. And you would be wrong.
While its almost become a parody of itself, youtube comments shed some light on how people process this information. It turns out, it wasn't poor conditions at the institution. It wasn't under payed workers who lack the motivation to do their job. It wasn't sad. It wasn't a tragic example of how caught up people get in their own lives. It was white people. It was because she was black.
It takes a certain kind of person to post their opinions on the internet. (I don't exclude myself) You have to feel that your opinion is important. That it needs to be heard. That maybe your words will have some relevance to someone. Even the people who comment things like "photoshopped" or anything with "lulz" think that even though its been said before, when they do it its golden. You have to take yourself pretty seriously. Non-Chalant people don't comment on things.
So there are people out there that really think this is the work of "The white man's agenda?" I'm in shock. If I had known "let old women die" was nestled somewhere in between "Touch yourself" and "pick lint from belly-button" I would have probably changed my agenda around a bit. Its amazing how you can know more about me than myself. Isn't that the essence of bigotry? You think you're better than me based on the prejudiced notion that I'm a racist. The best part? Everyone in the video was black. The workers, the nurses, the patients, the guard. Everyone.
Man, those white people are resorting to mind control. I hate those guys.

I think the biggest curse of being a human being is the ability, nay, out and out necessity to think about everything. Sentience is pretty simple (Biology aside)and I think that sometimes self awareness is just a little too much for me.
I see a tasty creature. Now, instead of indulging myself I look at what kind of creature it is. Does it have free will? Shouldn't eat it. Is it scared? Shouldn't eat it. Is it cute? Shouldn't eat it. Is it suffering? Shouldn't eat it. Is it fatty? Shouldn't eat it. Is it going to be an animal that is neither cute nor suffering, bad for me or scared? You especially shouldn't eat it then. The list goes on. This isn't a tirade about vegans either.
I see an opportunity to do something from which I derive some minuscule amount of joy. Does someone else want to do it first? Don't do it. Is it harmful to myself? Don't do it. Will it exclude someone else? Don't do it. Were there some words exchanged that suggest someone else might be uncomfortable about it? Its wrong.
My point is: Do you think Lions are happy? The answer: Who gives a shit.

| A musical interpretation |
[22 Jun 2008|12:58pm] |
I told myself today, that the only reason a two chord exists, is to lead to the five. The supertonic to the Dominant. You have to have the minor, before the major. That minor supertonic has no other function. I've told myself that its all just been a two chord. We'll hit the Major sounding dominant any day now. Then we can go back to the one chord. The Major. The Root. The Key. Where everything started.
But what if I'm fooling myself? What if it wasn't a one chord at all? What if it was . . . a Six chord? Has it all been a sham? Has it all been a minor chord, parading around like its a major chord? Fooling us into hearing what we think is Major. An inversion? A substitution? What if . . . this is all been to set us up for the two again? Thats what six chords do! Shit. The five after that would only be under false pretenses! Accidentals! You would have to change the third of the Five, so that it would only . . . sound . . . Major . . . What if this entire time . . . we've been in relative minor? What if . . .
we're just going to end up unresolved?
