Police

I swear, I have had entirely too many interactions with the Police, whether I am being followed or being written tickets of no fault of my own. I would elaborate, but the way the internet works, a potential employee is probably lurking around the corner waiting for me to incriminate myself.

Now I am really disappointed in the court system in the Sean Bell ruling. I won't go into too much detail considering everyone must know about it by now, but I am sure that everyone knows that it is now officially okay to be gunned down by police officers for no apparent reason, and to rest assured that the officers who committed the act will go home to their families, then one of their acquaintances will (allegedly) make a prank phone call to the grieving family. Oh yeah, and not to mention that it is perfectly OK to rely on African American leaders to "shut the cities down" after an atrocity has been committed rather than to fight the fight before something like this has to happen (are you Sharp on that).

One day, the system will change. I just hope that it is for the better.

'Tis All.

Announcement from the Judgment Seat

OMG, it has been almost two weeks since I last wrote on this blog! I am so not proud of myself, but I did finish one of my three 15 page papers last night. Woot!

This is my announcement:

Cohesiveness is a must in today's society. It would be lovely to understand the things people are trying to communicate (And if you have made it this far, I think that I am doing a good job).

Exhibit A: Drive through speakers are not what's good in the streets. If I have to ask you to repeat my order for me more than three times while cutting the radio off, leaning out of the driver's side window and asking for confirmation from my fellow riders to make sure that I was not losing my hearing, then there is a problem. By the time I get my food, I'm not hungry anymore. I am filled from the frustration of trying to decipher what you have just said. I ordered side salad with Italian dressing, not a Caesar salad with ranch. I have a fish sandwich* with cheese. Not
chili cheese fries. Thank you kindly.

It is more important for me to understand, because if I am over charged, then boo- boo the fool is you. Don't charge me twice for the same thing and say, well most people get more than one. First of all I am not most people, and second of all, don't try to argue me down about what I ordered. I know what I received on that plate... Waffle House, I swear! I don't know why I keep going back to the cesspool.

But, forgetting the tangent. I just want to emphasize that the world will understand many things so much more if we just make ourselves clear:

>I don't love YOU, I love things ABOUT you.

>You turn me on when you do THAT, you don't just turn me on.

>We would like to hire you, but your resume is sh!tty

>I'll call you right back, versus I will call you tomorrow

>That hairstyle would look nice... on someone else

You know. Just be clear.

'Tis All.

*Of course this fish sandwich is "low fat".... right...
