Pardon Me, Give Me My Respect, and Keep it all in Fun -or- I Would Never Trade the Way I am for the Way I'm Not


Classes are going well. I haven't missed a single one yet, and I don't think I'll be skipping any any time soon. So far my favorite class seems to be my Professional Selling class. My teacher for that is amazingly awesome, and I love to sell things so it's pretty much perfect. My US History class is also pretty cool. My teacher, Dr. Harmon, is so cool. He teaches History differently then most teach, so it's easier to learn. Also, he's an awesome individual. He has a really cool sense of humor to. Also, he keeps us updated on whats going on with his court case against the college. Come to find out, Dr. Harmon is trying to sign his Partner up on to his health insurance through the college. FLCC however is being a prick and not letting him add him even though they were legally married in Massachusetts a few years ago. It's crazy because FLCC's lawyers are saying now that to be elegeble they need to go and get married again. So Doc is going in a few weekends with his partner to get marred again.

I've been listening to a different style of music then I normally do lately. It started when I went to a poetry out loud thing by this guy named Buddy Wakefield. I love his poetry, it's just so amazing. I bought his book that day to, and he signed it for me. It helped me think clearer when I heard him, when I saw his raw energy, how much he believed in his beliefs and his clarity of mind, it just helped me see things a bit clearer. I guess you could say that some more of the rose has come out of my glasses. He mentioned the name of an artist while he was up there to, called Sage Francis. I looked him up that night and I'll be damned I loved what I heard. Sage Francis' work is a kind of stylized and beautifully crafted rap for the people. I love it all. And then I started searching for more artists like him. I've found Atmosphere, Illogic, Blackaliciouse and Brother Ali. Honestly, even if you don't like rap, give them a listen with an open mind, actually listen to the lyrics, and I think you'll enjoy what you hear.

Not much else is going on, or at least nothing that I want to talk about on a blog. I am working on some art rite now and when It's done I'm going to post them on my art blog http://www.chopsticksandporn.blogspot.com/ as always. So please, give it a look, and as always, have a wonderful day, a wonderful month, and a wonderful life.
