May your balls always burn

about the confederate flag(and a tiny bit of the swastika):

I agree with many things people have been saying. I see the swastika and think of balance, but if i see the nazi flag i think of.. hitler. The civil war is not something that i feel there's much tension about at all, i used to live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Even there, in the heart of the south, there were almost no people who were such die hard rednecks that they'd put up a confederate flag, or at least i didn't see many. There are actually some neo nazi's in my area, but they're a joke... the only thing they're good for is making fun of in my humble opinion.

For something regarding the confederate flag that happened to me: in one of my classes(french) i was talking to this girl i had just met, and noticed she had a confederate flag belt buckle and just kinda thought oh cool a southern girl, i used to live down in that area. So the prof comes up with this game we gotta play, a version of battle ship where the X and Y axis(instead of being numbers and letters) are different french phrases, so we practice pronouncing them while playing a game. So we gotta draw the ships in, and i make all mine ships that i thought were funny... i had the pope ship, with a cross on it and the pope doin a little polka dance, a pirate ship with a one eyed, peg legged, hook-handed pirate chillin on it, a speed boat with water skiers on the back, a sinking ship with a guy dressed up like a KKK member with a burning cross, and it was being sunk by a ship in the next square that had a buncha guys on it that looked like the kinda south american revolutionarys you see in movies, freedom fighters if you will. I thought it was kinda funny, it being a pun, the freedom fighters sinking the KKK. So i start playin the game with her, and aren't really hiding our papers so she sees my ships and says "oh you're for KKK too? white power man! [censored] those niggers" and my mind just kinda went blank and i looked over at my friend who had heard it and his eyes were wide open and mouths the words "what the [censored]!?" to me... so i say i'll be right back and go over and talk to him and we kinda have the conversation of: what a crazy bitch! are some people really that dumb? what the hell is she thinking!?!?

i never went back over to her and when she came and asked me what i was doing i claimed my great uncle was black, and that after hearing what she said i felt sick. Neither was true, but i wasn't too interested in speaking another word with her after that.

So, i see the confederate flag and i don't tay much apprention to it, but racism pisses me off fast. I'm intolerant of intolerant people in a way.

Next week in that class i was sittin next to the same guy i spoke of earlier, and we had a new set of words to play french battle ship with, and as i was drawing all sortsa ships i said "so... if i draw a nazi ship, and it's being sunk by a jew ship, and someone says 'wow you're a neo nazi too?' you'll help me kick their ass right?" and he laughed.... and she shot me the meanest look i think i've ever seen

i believe all people to be equal, and if you try to tell me differently get ready for one looooong argument.... but i've found that most people who try to tell me differently are too dull witted to carry out a decent argument with any valid points whatsoever. shrug.

please note: i don't intend to offend anyone with anything i've said, i'm just stating my personal and humble opinions/experiences and i apologize if you found them offensive.

Clean for 6 months and counting... ah yeah, that's nice.

Just wanted to share a quick story. Friend (with dreads down to her ass - obvious hippy ) was at a local pub and some pindick army guy started calling her a racist nazi cause she had a "swatstika" on her arm. She was pisssssed off... with good reason - he was really worked up and wouldn't even have let her explain, even if she had tried - which neither off us had the energy to do. Just told one of the bouncers he was giving us a hard time... in our local where they know us by name... silly boy!
Still, he had heart behind his abuse - just an ignorant heart.

to all.

There is a world made of air, one of earth and one of water.
And there is one made of fire, and all of them fight for supremacy. They are fighting now, in my head.

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

Live like there is no tomorrow,
dance like nobody is watching
and hula hoop like wiggling will save the world.
