it begins now...

i am writing this while i wait for my english 103 class to start. i have about 50 minutes....so i'll do my best to rant about certain things....

1. taking english 103 again...

that's right. my asshole teacher from spring failed me and now i have take the course over. hopefully this time will be different and i won't lose my mind like last semester. i am ONLY taking this course, nothing else. i didn't want to overwhelm myself like i did before. i've never had to take a course again and i'm feeling a wee bit nervous about it. i know this will pass once i am in it. being on the LACC campus is sort of the same, but it seems more crowded than before. obviously with CA budget cuts, LACC has definitely seen better days. it's still "under construction" and it's as dusty as ever.

2. national equality march in DC

upper middle class gays and lesbians got together and marched for equal rights. they want obama to fix everything and don't give a FUCK. most of these folks woke up when prop 8 in CA didn't pass. which is very unfortunate within itself. :-( if i hear one more straight person say "why did prop 8 pass in los angeles county?" i am going to lose IT!!

same sex couples should have the same rights as hetero folks, that's a obvious given! but i think once same sex marriage happens in CA, most of the major LGBT organizations will stop fighting the good LGBT fight. that fight contains of health care, LGBT youth, racism, classism, etc. i think CA showed it's true ignorant colors when prop 8 passed. because that's when NUMEROUS gays/lesbians blamed black/latinos for it passing. living in so cal during this time was sort of nuts. i saw my own co workers blame obama for not doing anything more for prop 8, along with blaming black folks. UGH!!!!!! anyway...folks that went to NEM in DC felt togetherness and blamed obama for everything. it would have been nice if all those folks would have wrote to their CONGRESSPERSON about repealing DADT...but lady gaga was singing Imagine...so i guess not...


i'll rant more later tho. i gotta get something in my stomach before class. i hope books aren't crazy expensive. keep on fighting the good fight. ;-)
