man, i just watched a killer documentary on M.L. King, Jr. i love a good documentary. and i am always completely amazed how fucking racist our country was- i mean i know we still have a lot of racism in the us, and in the south too- but how fucking retarded are seperate water fountains & bathrooms? never mind white ppl thinking that blacks aren't humand and shouldn't vote or have rights... i cannot fathom how life must have been then... it honestly makes me want to puke that people are that mean to each other. i saw so much footage of cops and other whities beating the shit out of blacks (african americans)... really disturbing. esp when the kids were being beaten and hosed. yikes. 
i remember my mom telling me about when she moved to georgia from staten island, ny in 1969. she said the racism that existed was horrible- she remembers seeing seperate bathrooms/water fountains. she remembers when my dad (my own fucking father) made her quit her job as a dental hygenist after like the first day because the practice saw african americans... of course, nowadays she kicks herself for not standing up to him more and standing up for what she believed in... but i guess it can be hard to reckon with a drunk violent redneck. but sheesh. people can really suck.
(in my dad's defense, he later changed his ways and had a better attitude before he died, but still)
speaking of racists- there was this guy at the strip club the other night... he's one of the girls boyfriends- saw him there months and months ago and he gave me some money to go tip his friends- he is super fucking nice... but he's got all these SS tattoos and swastikas and shit tattooed on him. so being the optimist i am, i think, "ok maybe in his past he made some poor tattoo choices and now is thinking of getting them covered". WRONG. he's wearing an eagle necklace. what is the eagle carrying? a swastika. fucking scary if you ask me.
but like i said, he's super nice, and even to the black chicks that work there... so what's his fucking deal? i don't get it. at all. i guess he's all white power. icky. i don't get it!!!!!! someone explain it to me.
coincidentally i have a tattoo on my forearm of a swastika with a knife going through it that says "the only good facist is a dead one". (i call it my angry youth tattoo- got it when i was 18)
i hope he saw it
i just do not understand.
ok, i have ranted way too long about shit you all probably care nothing about. but i had to vent after watching that documentary. damn, i love a good documentary
on a side note: we had an injured screech owl come into work today. he's soooooo freaking cute (and little!!) i got to scratch his little head... and he coughed up a pellet. do you know what an owl pellet is?
it is the hair and bones of whatever it ate that it cannot digest. so they spit them up. it looks like a giant bunny turd.
and i got to keep it
it will live in a jar next to the other little jars of odd stuff. yay!

and about that racism thing, when I was 16, me and my friend Jake (known as symarip on this site) founded a S.H.A.R.P. chapter in Bakersfield, CA. It lasted a couple yrs and then fell apart due to flakey people, turn coats, and lame scene politics. We were in the newspaper, on the news, and had full blown wars with nazi's. I even got shot at in front of my house and Jake was thrown out of the back of a truck doing like 65 mph. Broke his neck, arms and legs, but he was ok after a while, still a skin, and still down to fight. It sounds bad, but we did more than our share of ass kicking too!
To this day I jump at the opportunity to fuck shit up on a nazi. Luckily, I just don't see that many around anymore.
AAAHHHHHH, to be a teenager again.......................
as the saying goes:
if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem!
