I guess i'll start with the light hearted stuff first.... :)

Did you know ducks eat grass? At least the ducks at the SSU much on it like there's no tomorrow. I'm all back to nature 'n crap like that... It's all because of my school schedule. I have this long break between classes every tuesday and thursday. It's just enough time to make sitting around boring, but not enough time to go home and rest up. Ahh well... So yeah. Ducks eat grass as well as that slimy algae stuff at the bottom of our man made lake. Ahh I learn more outside the classroom than inside...

I first met Towelie in his second appearance... I think it was when the kids were trying to give a goat back to the middle east. It was hilarious because out of nowhere he comes out and everyone just stares at him. Dead silence and then of course he says, "You wanna get high???" It was so random, I laughed well into the night.

So I'm taking this Chicano Studies class to complete my GE... It's actually a lot more interesting than I would have thought. The thing that probably makes it interesting is that I've learned that my professor is trying to get us to become more aware and protest stuff. He shows us these old movies 'n stuff about people going through the social movements 'n stuff, and looks at us like we should be doing the same thing. On one hand he's right. Our generation hasn't really had anything to protest before. The 80s were a dead time, and the 90s we went though the little ribbon power shit. What's in store for this generation this decade? More of the same stuff, or is something finally going to happen? Should we be protesting the possibility of war? Ahhh... Like I said it's a pretty good class. I'm kind of glad I couldn't take an asian studies class. I mean, I can get most of that stuff from parents or grandparents. Looking at another race and their struggles is interesting.

So here's a racial question for you guys... (Yes even the korean can participate :P) When was the last time you were discriminated against/been the target of racial slurs? hehe, since I work at such a crappy job, I get it all the time, but it doesn't really bother me since most of the people are trailer trash bitches that need to try and show some dominance over SOMETHING. Never a Jap though... Always something like Chink or something as unoriginal. I'm just curious if it's a big thing everywhere else... (Santa Rosa is pretty damn racist against... Well... Everyone....)

As for friends who are heading off to the growing troop build up... It's really sad... I have a friend who got sent off to Korea last month... I've been watching the news 'n stuff hoping nothing will happen over there. When he had a little party before leaving (it was his birthday of all things...) it was damn hard to say good-bye. We say we'll see each other again in a year or two when he finishes his little "tour of duty.." But I wonder how much he's going to change. Would I go to war if they did the draft again? Yeah.. Probably. Not for any of the bullshit reasons our President is spouting, but just so someone else doesn't have to take my place out there.
