MARCH 23rd 2008

Happy Bunny Day/Zombie Day!

Yes, I said Zombie Day.  It's day that we are supposed to celebrate this Jesus fella's rise from the dead.

Sooooooooooooo guess who I saw yesterday.  KERMIT, the frog!!

There is this touring Muppet exhibit in the museums across the country.  We have Kermit right now.  I was so excited!  Chris and I had to stand in line with the other fat ass tourists, but it was all worth it to see the frog that formed so many of my childhood memories. 

Chris and I met up with some friends of his from Pennsylvania.  They seemed nice enough, but seriously wanted to see the monuments.  I have never met people that really wanted to see them.  Most say that they do, but end up being happy has a pig in poo with the shopping and bars.  *shrugs* 

Anywho, after walking what felt like miles and miles, Chris and I finally came back to Dupont for a bit of rest and a drink.  Then we hobbled over to Chinatown to watch Horton Hears A Who.  The movie, I think, was a cute show, one that I would usually love.  However, I wasn't able to enjoy it because I was so pissed/upset.

So we get our tix, have dinner and then go up to go in the theater.  The guy says that we cant get in, which I know was bs cause I've gotten in countless times whether the theater was ready or not.  This is why they have a sitting area in front of the concession stand.  Anywho, right after he proclaims no no no, a black couple comes up for the same movie.  Mother fuck if he doesn't come up with a more comfortable answer for them.  Well smack my ass!  So now I'm dealing with racisms?

So my chunky ass hops downstairs to get a manager.  I explain the situation.  Rather than a normal reaction, like oh gosh, I'm sorry.  This lovely gentleman (also black) starts out with, "why do you have to take it there?"

Take it where?!  Asshole, it IS a black/white, racial issue!

So then he comes at me with, "well would you say this to his face?"

You piece of poo!  Of course I would and I did!  If I had an issue saying the truth to a black person, I sure as shit wouldn't come to you, now would I?

At the end I ended up just being let in, to sit waiting for the movie.  THAT IS NOT THE RESOLUTION THAT I WANTED!  I mean it was initially, but not on the argument that I actually went to complain about.  I just wanted to be treated like everyone else, good or bad, black, white, or pink!

FUCK!

And that bring me to this, my official, public statement on the black/white issue -

Listen, I get it, your great great great granddaddy had it rough.  YOU, mother fucker, did NOT! ..... or at least no worse than my white ass did, meaning YOU WERE NOT A FUCKING SLAVE!

Now I give you that all of my judgments on racial issues are based on major cities.  All the people that I interact with are in the cities.  I do get that life is totally different out in middle America.  So my comments are based solely on that.  I have different opinions and views on what middle America deals with.

White, Black, Asian, Indian, brown, pink, purple, whatever - your life sucks as much as mine.  You have the same opportunities that I do in the cities.  You are just as poor as me.  You are no better and no less than me.  So fucking get the god damn hell over it and survive like I do!  NO EXCUSES!

MARCH 2nd 2008

So this artist, David Kawena, drew these fabulous pictures of the Disney Men.  I like!

MARCH 1st 2008

How interesting is this?  So for whatever reason I decide to Google Hans Christian Anderson, perhaps because I'm watching The Brothers Grimm.  Anyways, so I Google Hans; and from there read a brief synopsis of his Little Mermaid story.  How interesting that it's so very different from Disney's happy tale.

Here's the short version of the tale.

The Little Mermaid lives at the sea bottom with her father the sea king; her grandmother; and her five elder sisters, born one year apart. When a mermaid turns 15, she is allowed to swim to the surface to watch the world above, and as the sisters become old enough, one of them visits the surface every year. As each of them returns, the Little Mermaid listens longingly to their descriptions of the surface and of human beings.

When the Little Mermaid's turn comes, she ventures to the surface, sees a ship with a handsome prince, and falls in love with him from a distance. A great storm hits, and the Little Mermaid saves the prince from a near-drowning. She delivers him unconscious to the shore near a temple. Here she waits until a young girl from the temple finds him. The prince never sees the Little Mermaid.

The Little Mermaid asks her grandmother whether humans can live forever if they do not drown. The grandmother explains that humans have a much shorter lifespan than merfolk's 300 years, but that when mermaids die they turn to sea foam and cease to exist, while humans have an eternal soul that lives on in Heaven. The Little Mermaid, longing for the prince and an eternal soul, eventually visits the Sea Witch, who sells her a potion that gives her legs, in exchange for her tongue; the Little Mermaid has the most intoxicating voice in the world. Drinking the potion will make her feel as if a sword is being passed through her, and walking on her feet will feel like walking on knives. And she will only get a soul if the prince loves her and marries her, for then a part of his soul will flow into her. Otherwise, at dawn on the first day after he marries another woman, the Little Mermaid will die brokenhearted and turn to sea foam.

The Little Mermaid drinks the potion and meets the prince, who is attracted to her beauty and grace even though she is mute. Most of all he likes to see her dance, and she dances for him despite her excruciating pain. When the prince's father orders his son to marry the neighboring king's daughter, the prince tells the Little Mermaid he cannot, because he does not love the princess. He goes on to say he can only love the young woman from the temple, but adds that the Little Mermaid is beginning to take the temple girl's place in his heart. It turns out that the princess is the temple girl, who had been sent to the temple to be educated. The prince loves her and the wedding is announced.

The prince and princess marry and the Little Mermaid's heart breaks. She thinks of all that she has given up and of all the pain she has suffered. She despairs, but before dawn her sisters give her a knife that the Sea Witch has given them in exchange for their hair. If the Little Mermaid slays the prince with the knife, she will become a mermaid again and live out her full life.

But the Little Mermaid cannot bring herself to kill the sleeping prince lying with his bride and, as dawn breaks, throws herself into the sea. Her body dissolves into foam, but instead of ceasing to exist, she feels the warmth of the sun; she has turned into a spirit, a daughter of the air. The other daughters of the air tell her she has become like them because she strove with all her heart to gain an eternal soul. She will earn her own soul by doing good deeds, and will eventually rise into the kingdom of God.
