a strange thing

twittering for self promotion?

i wont lie. im guilty of using the internet to explore my pain. if the only reason that somebody will read it. call me an attention whore. its fine.

so is it shocking that reality star tila tequila is tweeting about the death of her fiancee casey johnson?

not really. but what does this new age of technology mean? last night, DOC showed me a photo of her that captured her in a candid moment, a telling sign of her affection for somebody else.

i dont think its bad to tell people how you feel. but some suffer in silence, alone, and heavy. i dont know about the twittering thing though.

the life of the bourgouis.... part 3

just to remind everybody that i dont actually just write about JCH, that i do read the news, i wanted to post this.

the other morning, i took the bus to work. it was saturday, on the 37, i climbed into a seat near the front. a black man was talking, sermonizing almost, to the 4 white women sitting around him, and another black man sat next to him. the man was fit, probably in his early 50s, with pressed Dickies, a clean denim shirt, and a stocking cap. he was clean shaven, slightly handsome. the ladies were in complete awe of him.

he was talking about revolution, about change, about how this place needs "firestarters." people willing to stand up & change things. he had started doing homeless outreach. he himself was homeless. he had just been released from prison, was looking for a job. he ruminated on how difficult it could be to get somebody to hire you because of your past.

i thought of the homeless folks i see sleeping on the steps of churches, on benches, when i ride to work sometimes. its not even 530, these men, cover themselves up as best they can.

eventually, a woman told him the name of a shelter. he jokingly asked if he could stay with her. she didnt say anything. he laughed & said it was okay.

finally, as i got off the bus, i thought of king, the old boxer who used to live in lord's gym when i used to go. i wondered what happened to him.

i wonder what kind of world i live in, when people live underground, in tunnels, like the morlocks in the time machine.

underneath the tunnels of vegas

im sick tonight. i was annoyed @ the fact that i have $10 to my name until thursday. my nose is stopped up. but ive got a really good apartment, a gym membership, & the freedom to do whatever i want. i dont have to beg anybody to give me a chance. i dont live under a tunnel.

im grateful.

you hit me once i hit you back

from an article in the economist:

white america is in decline, writes gary younge, a left wing british journalist. he adds, never having consider the unearned privilege of being white & american, all they can see are things being taken away from them. never having considered solidarity with blacks & latinos they see them not as potential allies but as perpetual enemies.

**************************************
a kiss with a fist is better than love.

since i cant sleep, i decided to watch my new DVD again, jennifer's body. and of course, read the economist. i also reread my astrological sign, both aquarius & pisces. then my matches. i noticed that it read that scorpio & pisces, if they break up, never get over it. thats really great. lots to look forward to.

the devils water aint so sweet

ive been thinking about this comment from cliff may. its not that far of a cry from past things ive said. it seems it can be effective to use humor in the worst situations, or to make fun of peoples politics, behaviors, in the worst way possible, so we can bring attention to their ideas & their executions.

A Bipartisan Proposal - Cliff May - The Corner on National Review Online

i bring this up last night to relate an anecdote. last night, @ creekside, i met a friend of a friend, with maribel & her friend. he asked her what she did. "administrative assistant." he immediately retorted: "oh secretary."

i can see the humor & truth in his comment. but i can also see why she got mad. it was the extreme absurdness of the situation. the DJ, the beat box kids, the hipsters, the girls, me in my increasing crankiness, two people talking, & pointing out the obvious in a manner not so politically correct.

kind of like cliff may. except he takes it to another extreme. what if he had said this about immigrants being kept in detention centers? i can assure you, humor intended or not, i would have been furious.

on another note, i had set my ringtone for bianca to my new favorite song, young folk, & its a really great song. i love the whistling.
