There isnt much i can say about MLK day. For most of the day i forgot why i had school of. This holiday is meant for the black people to be proud, and for the white people to twittle their thumbs and hope no ones brings up what other white people were doing in the the 60s. I didnt watch Tv that day so i didnt get to see the I have a dream speech i have seem over and over.
MLK day is for the postage stamp MLK but also for the postage stamp black people at the time. Everyone loves hearring about the giant march on washington, but there are facts that are forgotten. In the original plan, the protest was going to be a mob of angry black man and women storming washington and demanding their rights. it was suppouse to put fear into the government. unforetunetly plans were changed. the protest became funded, and these people who gave money also gave "advice" too. the angery storm of washington quickly became, the peaceful march on washington. After the march not one congressman interviewed had changed their stance on civil rights, why would they. All they saw was a bunch of black people saying that they didnt like how they were treated, which wasnt a big secret.
MLK day is a day of taking people of the past, and putting them on a pedistal.

how to be a perfect boyfriend: its nice to know that every girl is so simple that by watching a video afew minutes long i have a perfect understanding of how to make them happy. These tips seem to be basic and logical. If your too stupid to know you have to listen to what they say, then you deserve to be doomed to masterbation and hookers for the rest of your life.
Facebook: While these are true i think there is a bigger problem to look at. If you have hours of time to waste on facebook, the problem isnt that your not ignoring enough requests, its that you have nothing better to do. the best way to avoid facebook is too make plans. you wont spend that long on facebook if you know you have to meet a friend for a movie at 2. facebook is what we do as we wait for something better to happen.

obama
surprise surprise the man that was on everyones t-shirt won. And he gave his speech like he was suppouse to. And it sounded like every other speech. I really dont listen to much to these kinds of speechs. All they talk about is how the new president wants to change the country. its rare that the president actually lives up to the standards he sets for him self. unforetunetly the standards are already high for obama.
Like always he talked about peace. he talked about helping all the smaller countries of the world as if we are gonna stop exploitting them some day. He talked about the working class. while im glad they got special attention i dont see any strong plans for them. it seems that a meaningful life is one where people help the smaller people.
I have no reflection on his speech because there is nothing to relfect on. of course it sounds like he will really make a change, thats the point of the speech. all that shows is that he hired some good speech writters. I believe strongly that actions speak louder then words, and i look foward to reflecting on his actions.

kindergardeners
dear kindergardeners.
hurry up and finish your cookies because if you can understand what im about to say it can change your life. In afew years you will begin to be fed propoganda that tells you that you are powerless. let me give you some examples. when your whole class wants to go to the playground but your teacher says no because its math time. your teacher will try to control the whole class just because she is a teacher and you are a student. You dont have to take this. there is nothing stopping you from leaving. start thinking of those orders of what to do more like suggestions. If you gain these morals you will grow up to stand up for what you think is right instead of falling in line.
I bet you have heard if you have nothing nice to say dont say anything at all, ignore that. if someone is being mean, tell him or her. feel free to say shut up stupid. this idea of always being nice will only lead to you not being able to tell people who are doing something wronge (like the government) to cut that shit out. You need to learn how to get people to stop doing what ever you dont want them doing.
Your parents/teachers are not always right. I bet you are often told you are wrong and the only reason they give is that you are younger and you dont know better. Dont listen to that. that will only lead to you thinking that who ever is in power is always right. you need to learn how to question things and how to keep talking even when you are told to shut up.
Dont snitch. learn how to take matters into your own hands. you are probably told that when some one does something wrong to tell a teacher, fuck that. when some one is bothering you deal with it your self. learn how to independent. when you grow up there wont always be someone to tell, you will get picked on by people in power. if you learn to be independent you can deal with these people, if you learn to tell the teacher and the day comes where the teacher figure is picking on you, you wont know what to do because there is no one you can snitch to.
the teachers dont always do whats best for you. Did you ever notice that nap time went alittle longer then you wanted, or play time in the playground was alittle shorter on cold days. some times people in power sacrafice things in your life to make them happy. this happens more and more when there is a large number of you, like a school or country, and the person in power doesnt know you as well and doesnt mind taking things away from you. learn how to tell this is happening in hopes that you may find a way to stop it.

how are you. Im doing well. I am currently taking a class on the meaning of life and i realized that you gtreatly shaped my life. Back in middle school you were my middle school director. you were also a closed mind puppet who was to busy trying to please the teacher and parents that you forgot about the kids. Time after time my friends and i would come to you with logical and 100% statements about how the teachers were horrible at their job. Not one time did you listen to us. it is because of you that i first realized that people in power only look out for other people in power. your lucky i was small, if some one tried to pull the shit you did today, there would be issues. If i ever have to see you again, i hope its through a scope.
fuck you

april fools day
April fools day is a day of mischeif. It goes against the "sane" way of living. In normal day life we are told to not piss of anyone. we cant say or do anything that would offend a group of people, april fools day flips this. a strong message of april fools day is laugh at other peoples expence. It tells us that we should do what ever makes people laugh.
It is also a small version of anarcy. during this day we do what we want with no thought of consquence. This is what is meaningful; to do what we want, when we want. It's the ultimite form of freedom.

winter break
The majority of what i did over break i will not write about so i can still plead the 5th. Besides that i spent alot of the time skatting and chillen with friends. christmas day was spent in new jersey with family. New years was spent with friends in williamsburg. and all it was a chill break.
Looking back i think of two things. first is the saying "we are the people our parents warned us about" Some of things i did my parents warned me against when i was younge. this of course means they didnt give me the idea that it was meaningful, i guess that means i learned it from society. thats nice of them to teach me such great things.
the second thing i thought of was how practiced the gift thing is. everyone has to get some one something. the only time where i ever see my aunt is on x-mas when she gives me a $50 gift card to barnes and nobel. i personaly would be fine is she didnt give me anything, especially since i didnt give her anything. someone tells us that aunts give presents to neifes that they never see.
