oy, Doctors and Homework

2009-11-11T16:10:00.001-05:00

In the spirit of constantly updating my blog, I’m going to talk about random nonsense till I get shit tired and less frustrated, or common sense finds me and I go start home work. The way I see it, if I do this now while I’m in the doctor’s office, I don’t have to do it later when I could be doing something more important like yha know homework. [I actually should be doing homework, but I have been up most of the night working on illustration which was an epic fail, but I DIGRESS T_T]

My doctor, oy. I dread going to the doctor now, not because she is the doctor, bur because her office is always filled with 5 and unders. Smh. I constantly day I need a grown up doctor, but last visit [last week] was the true realization. Some little ankle bitter [yes I said it] Ran up to China and just stared smacking the shit out of her. WTF. Respect me fine piece of craftsmanship I call my lovely lappy. *Love you China*

Now I am forced to waste my entire morning waiting to see my doctor for a follow up. My Strep is getting better, but the white stuffs are still on the back of my throat, gross I know, but that life…DEALWITHIT.
I wanted to blog about controversy, but then I got lazy, so I;m going to save that for one of my On-The-Go blogs, IE:Stuff I do straight from my kick [Sidekick for those that do speak the lingo XD] Yha I’m such a geek, I know. Anyway, the only reason this one is getting done on my lappy is because I have some free time [ignores homework waving at me] and I thought that I stay true to my promise to update more.

I’m going to make an attempt to connect all my outlets into one, because it’s kinda hard to have to tweet, Facebook, NerdScarf, and the millions of other shits I’m one. I think I’m going to use this as a central point and then use the others as secondary.

Ok. I’m shit bored now, I’m going to do ……..Homework now.

SOOOO TIRED!

2009-11-10T17:57:00.001-05:00

I'm so effin tired! Which is making it very hard for me to get my shit
together. I'm so drained that I fell asleep on the train. Smh. I need
sleep, but I have mad work to do and I need to be out of my house by 8
tomorrow morning. I have a follow-up, I have to actually show up to
work, and figure out a time to take my midterm for World Civ.
I have to pee really badly right now and I'm so stuck in traffic. I
can't wait to get home, change, go pee, go get food, stop in at
work.....more abt that work later. But for now...
I'm to distracted to actually finish this properly. Eh. Ttyl

UpperDater!

You know you love me riight!?

Okay, sorry I have posted all summer. I've been, well, busy.

Smh, I know. No excuse, but I'm going to try more now that is the middle of the school year and I just remembered that this blog existed. I'm going to try and upkeep it more, just so that I have a blog. I don't wanna be some loser on the interweb that just uses it for stupid forum games and porn.....which is what I do use it for but yha....atleast I'm not a 40 year old man!!

Quick update on my life, I'm currently sitting in EDS jerking my responsibilities as a student. I'm tired as fuck and really need a Red Bull, but I can have one because I have strep throat. But on the plus side of the whole strep throat situation, I get a doctors note for the 2 days of classes I cut. hehehe. I love being sneaky. On the down side, I can't kiss Tati, and my bestie keeps calling me streppy. That and everyone I know runes the other way once they find out. BLACK FOLKS!! lmao.

Ok. I have to go. School is calling [as my mother would say] and I'm tired as a mother fucka. Love!

I’m in a bad mood. =[

Most of the time, I wake up chipper. But the past few days I have not. I want to chalk it up to withdrawal, cause I miss Tati so much, but I can't I am however going to chalk it up to the fact that my 23 year old cousin feels the need to blast, not even play BLAST, hip-hop at 10 in the morning. I DON'T WAKE UP TILL 11-12! Wtf!? Does she really need to be that dame inconsiderate!? I'm a lil pissed off because I stayed up last night making a cube out of Balsa Wood. Eh. I'm having an artistic moment. Not to mention that yesterday I did a shitload of walking on Mass Ave.

My nightmare, because I have a lot of those, this night was about the MTA. I was running through the tunnels so that I can hop on a train, don't ask me why, and someone saw me and told a cop. Some of my friends were on that train, but they wouldn't talk to me because the cops where after me and there didn't want to get in trouble. So I get off ate West 4^th and try and run for the F train, but the cops still catch me, and then we get into this long conversation about what I can to so that I don't have to get a ticket. That just bothered the shit out of me, because I don't like cops, so I just kinda woke myself up.

I thought writing all of this would make me feel a little bit better, but it doesn't. eh. I have some much other stuff I could be doing right now it's not even funny. I'm about to get on all of that to, the day is almost over. I have the rest of the world has a better day than I'm having right now. Ttyl!

This almost didn’t get written….

2009-06-12T12:20:00.003-04:00

Okay, so I'm going to try and keep this as brief as possible, because for some reason I don't want to write this. Yha. So the other day Pam, Kath and I went to the Pratt Library and borrowed some books. OOOOOOOAAAHAHHA! I know Very interesting. It was a good trip I guess. I raided the race/Feminists/ and Sexuality sections [It shocked the hell out of me that I could even find these types of books in Pratt's Library] and they raided the comic/Graphic Novel's section. We truly have very different tastes, but I digress.

I figure since I'm not going to have that much to do over the summer; I might as well read, you know, for the fun of it. Because this is what I do, because I like to read [a lot] and no one can tell me different. :-P Lol. Below is a list of the first batch of books I took out. Some I've already finished reading, and when I'm done I'll recommend the good one. Give a brief summery, like back in my elementary school days, and let you know what it was about.

The crossed out ones are the ones that I've already finished reading. I'm currently trying to get through Race Matters by Cornel West. It's been good so far. It's very thought provoking, but I'll get to that [and the other books] in another blog.

I know! I've been slacking. I've been making to-do list, but shit is not getting done! Don't worry that will all change. I'm going to try and work on the other blog that I promised you about the rally a week ago. I'm also going to post the pictures from Queens Pride. So yha I have a lot to do. I also have a shoot to do on Sunday, and I'm leaving to Boston Next week. As you can see, my life is taking off right now! Lol.

Something art related. The LGBT Center is having an art exhibit throughout the building until September 4^th [that gives you plenty of time to get off your lazy buts and go see it ^_^] It's called "An exhibition celebrating the 20^th anniversary of the center show", and yes that all did manage to fit on a postcard. I walked through it, some of the pieces where excellent, some were good, and some where blah. Overall there are some nice installations. My favorite is the one in the all genders bathroom on the 2^nd floor. It's by fierce pussy, and they plastered words all over the walls in the bathroom. I thought it was pretty sick. Go and check it out for yourself.

Well, it was nice talking to you! Have a Blessed day ;-)

Queens Pride: Mission Accomplished

2009-06-07T16:54:00.002-04:00

Okay, so today was my first time walking in Queens Pride. I have to admit. I had fun! The crowd was dead compared to NYC Pride, but it was still fun.

I marched with FIERCE! an LGBQT membership organization that's I've been apart of for over a year. We had a good turn-out [compared to last years NYC Pride lol]. We even managed to outreach to a few folks, who later joined us and did cartwheels lol wft?

I think the best part of the parade was the "float" infront of us. I'm using the term float loosely, only cause they where really in a yellow Jeep Wrangler. Lol. The girls in that car where too much fun. Lol. That all I can really say.

The festival afterwards was good. Crowded, but there where some nice vender. It seems like everyone in the gay pride business buys all there stuff from the someplace, there was nothing original that made me wanna part with my mom's money. I did however buy a rainbow bandana [cause everyone know I effing <3 bandanas], food [of course], and I donated a buck to get a pin [because I <3 pins] I'm not sure where the rest of my money went, but I think most of it went to food.

Its funny cause as I was writing this I found another pin I bought in my bag. Oh wow, I'm such a compulsive shopper. Oh, but to balance it out it did get 1 free pin, and a free bracelet that say "Gay & Black is Beautiful". I won't be taking the bracelet off any time soon.

I'm beat. I got no sleep last night [Thanks Tati], but today was deff worth it. I'm going home [looking like a giant rainbow flag] to sleep and edit picture.

PS: I have one more blog to post after this, that should be before this. Its about the SOS Rally on Sat.

Continental Racism

2009-05-27T22:56:00.000-04:00

I was on Facebook [fcbk] when I saw this. [The New Continental: NO BLACKS ALLOWED] A long story short, black folks are systematically being kicked out of Continental because of their "vibe". I say systematic because I feel this is not an isolated incident. For something like this to happen in the present day, it has to be practice.

I don't even know how to respond after hearing this. First off, Continental is a shithole. I've never been inside it (under 21 eff USA) but the general "vibe" of that place is dark, dank, and shitty. I wouldn't get a beer there let alone a shot.

I'm use to the type of racism/sexism/homophobia that people have to point out to me, because sometimes, I am completely oblivious to its occurrence. This, this is just blatant racism that is going on. A black man and his other black male friend were kick out of a bar because they were black Forget the dress code BS, we can all see that that was just a front to try and cover up the racist practices.

What should be done about this? Besides the usual boycotting and Help me Howard. There has to be something bigger that can be done, because if not this will happen again, and next time it might not been so peaceful. I know personally if I was in a situation like that I wouldn’t have been very cooperative. I have a right to get drink is a dark, dank, and shitty shithole just like everybody else [if I was 21 that is], and no Uncle Tom or modern-day Jim Crow is going to stop me.
