if you write it, will they come?
I'm writing words, you are reading them. Hmm, the direction of this blog...I'm not so sure I have one nor a desire for one. I'm gonna ramble; I'm gonna advise; I'm gonna reflect; I'm gonna bullshit. I study psych; I travel by subway and yellows. I succumb to the small talk of the weather. I people watch. I laugh...EVERYDAY. Likes: smart people!! funny people!! sarcasm, music I can dance to, music I can sing with, music that makes me think, music that lights candles ;) playing in the park afterhours [the only way u won't look like a pedophile jkjk (well not really lol)] natural hair and skin care, natgeo, family guy, the colbert report, reading, history, psychology, shoes, vegan food, people watching =) I party now and again, maybe sip on something ;-) Dislikes: celery sans bleu cheese (ranch will suffice), deadlines, smokers, when my metrocard expires =(, arrogance, ppl playing music in public w/o headphones ugh, capitalism. The lists ofcourse could be way longer. Tumbling along
‘With 15 choices of race on the census form, more than 18 million Latinos have been checking “other,” reflecting the group’s diverse self-image.’
Soo many mixed feelings, I’d like to hear your thoughts. I get depressed when latinos feel the need to separate themselves from their “blackness” in order to embrace their latin cultures. Their “blackness” is critical and crucial to their particular cultural experience, it shouldn’t be ignored.

This video straight PISSED ME OFF. Later I will add in a response convo a friend and I had to it…not really p.c. but candid conversations generally aren’t, you know.
