“Their credit was being denied, and in some cases, people were being pried and otherwise pressured. I don’t know which family it was in that group…. they had a young child that required a special ration, and that drug store denied them.

When does art and self-expression become just plain gross? And who defines it? One of the lessons I learned as an undergrad is that people fear what they don’t understand. I learned this from an extremely unlikely source. I interviewed a guy in one of my classes who I thought had the most fascinating form of self-expression I had ever seen. This dude allowed someone to heat an iron and attach it to his skin, so that it will burn to the point where he would have a permanent scar. Our... Read Full Story

On that note, Happy New Blog Year and keep reading! Read Full Story

I was recently in Savannah an was so impressed by how beautiful it was. The city was like a pretty, but smaller Manhattan and everyone had a dog. I mean dogs were everwhere for some reason. The animal shelters in this place must be empty and that’s great. I even went into a store and there was a very rude “store cat,” named Amelia who refused to answer when I called her. I was just thinking how nice it would be to live there when my Jewish professor mentioned that Savannah is 60 percent... Read Full Story

Wow So should you take a class just because the professor is hot? There is this really good looking professor on my campus….what an ass…I mean literally, he has a nice ass. I just have one semester to graduate and he’s teaching a class I certainly don’t need, so I know I won’t take. Thats the problem with being older on campus, the students are too young and the prfessors are off limits…or are they? Read Full Story

He looks just like one of our objects It’s fun meeting new people and having new experiences and I’m surley having one. In my spare time when I’m not thinking of ways to respond to e-mails on match.com, I work at a museum on campus. These days I’m working with the African collection in storage. This might sound new and exciting but color coding index cards is not as creatively stimulating as it sounds. Why am I working at a museum you might ask, well they pay, but overall it has been a...

Toussaint was a mighty man and to make matters worse he was black. That was back in the days when blacks knew their place was in the back. But this rebel he walked through Napoleon who thought it was’nt very nice. So now today my brothers in Haiti still pay the price.

As soon as we took the picture she shouted "Money!" Money! This is what the Chinese woman shouted at us after we took her picture. She was working in the rice paddies and she wanted us to pay her after we took her photograph. No one did, but this was only because she was too far away to get to us before we jumped into our buses and drove away. Her neighbors beat her to it though. Some of them followed us all the way there, others were waiting just for an opportunity to pose for... Read Full Story

Ruling with empathy. Since when is that a negative. The GOP has finally gone mad and shown their true colors by condemning the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.  The woman is a moderate at best and has ruled against using public funds to support abortion yet they rail against her and call her a racist. Of course her experience as a female latina from the Bronx is richer than that of a white man without similar experiences. For saying this, they call her a racist. The... Read Full Story

It comes like a thief in the night. But all along it’s been watching and waiting in silent envy for the right moment to pounce. Control is like a drug, some people need it to survive, but the same people hate to be in its arms. Here we go again, we danced this tango many moons ago, now do you think I will willingly be locked in this embrace. I fought you before and won, and I will again!! Read Full Story
