A Couple Things: Lizards, scallions and desegregation
It's been a busy week folks. But not busy like you'd probably think. I'll definitely get at you early next week to fill you in on some things. Until then, I guess I gotta hit you with another lame post of random tidbits. Sorry...
-- I FOUND THE LIZARD!!! Remember that lizard that had somehow made its way into my crib? The one that I later had a nightmare about, a nightmare where the lizard grew into a Raptor, slammed me to the ground and started stomping on my crotch? Yeah, that one.
Well, while clearing out my second room, the room that shut and sealed for 4 months, I found the dried up lil critter in a cell-case. I guess that was his self-made burial. I starved that sucker to death. He didn't have any eyes, because he probably ripped them out in lamentation and severe hunger.
-- speaking of "severe", that's how Steve Carrell chose to refer to Angela, the office nazi. He called her "severe"! I just think that's the most appropriate description for an individual with no discernable personality, other than being cold and anal. It's the little things people.
-- I'm a current fan of scallions. I've been putting them in everything: omeletes, mashed potatoes, tuna...cereal. The yellow onion is dead to me. What's its use? Either u come scallion, or just stay home. It's actually very simple, reasonable, warranted and necessary.
-- What is the deal with several districts trying to overturn desegregation laws in school zones? I got a lot to say about this, but not quite enough time. It is funny though, talk to some older blacks, especially southerners that grew up before schools were desegregated in late 60s...they say desegregation KILLED the African American community, almost as much as the crack epidemic. They say the decentrilization of kids and the absence of black teacher-role models, etc, they say it did more harm than good. Interesting right? I mean, if "seperate, but equal" was an actual possibility, would it be cool to return to those days for schools, as opposed to bussing them all over the place for diversity sakes? I'm spitballin' here.
-- When the new Omar drops stateside, you MUST go kop. It's called "Sing...If You Want It" and its a revelation.
I've also now listened -- intently -- to the amjority of Bob Dylan's discography. And from Blonde on Blonde to the Basement Tapes to Higway 61 Revisited...sorry, just not a fan. Dude's a lyricist and a heavy, heavy man. I'll give him that, obviously. But that is not some music I'd choose to listen to. Add him to the Johnny Cash list of legends I don't pump with. Just thought you'd like to know.
