trees are dying

i think it's funny that most of the people that are supporting that fight against chopping down the trees by the stadium are white.. not that i'm choosing a side on this issue or anything.. i just find it kinna funny..

haha.. cuz in my head, these are genuinely good natured white people that don't have anything else to fight for.. so they choose the environment..

i mean
i'll fight
for these old ass trees
too

but
veteranos
get their
old ass benefits
first

for the love, but not really

so why do i do paa??..

paa is one of those organizations where it's not so clear cut to why people do it..

ok.. maybe it's a mistake to say that.. there are a couple big reasons why people participate in things like paa..

for example, we have pcn-ers.. people that don't really care about anything in the organization til spring semester.. and in my opinion, this is totally fine.. pcn is a great way to get introduced and involved in this organization.. it's a big reason why i'm in this organization and continues to be a big reason why i'm still doing it... HOWEVER, (and this really is a big however).. these same people must come to realize that paa is really a lot more than just pcn.. and moreover, pcn isn't the most important thing in the world!..

there are also those people that do pcn without actually caring about what pcn is about, only their particular part.. and that's not cool.. you shouldn't be using pcn to show off your dance moves.. you should be dancing to show off pcn.. that shit just gets be mad...

anyways, back to the paa discussion..
there are also people that do paa for the social aspect of it.. this is also how i got into this organization.. truth be told, i just wanted filipinos to hang out with in college, cuz that's what i did in high school and that was a comfort zone for me.. but the shit that gets to me is when this aspect is what runs all interest in this organization, like it becomes the ONLY reason that people do paa.. then other components get run over because it feels like this shit is all people really care about.. and that is why i feel sad and tired when i think of this organization and really many college organizations just like it... it is my opinion that sometimes, filipino college students get trapped into thinking that we're doing some positive shit by joining the pil org, when really, we're just kidding ourselves.. cuz nobody really wants to talk about sad issues that affect our people.. and everybody likes a good paarty..

so excuse for being mad..
i've thought long about this..
i'll tell you laters why i'm doing it..

i resolve

to posting at least twice a week..

well iono about that..
i really try to post things that i think will be interesting to read, besides "today i went to the store and saw somebody from 5th grade!"

but it's funny cuz i'll think in my head of something that i think will be a really good post, and then i write it and after i read it i'm like "man that sucks"... but whatevers.. i'm still fly..

i would like to get something off of my chest though..
regarding this whole thing with everybody pretending to be a basketball player and saying "ballin!".. man.. that shit is wack!... i'm not completely sure so correct me if i'm wrong, but i think it stems from the dave chappelle episode where he makes fun of mtv cribs... well i think that chappelle was actually making fun of celebrities for their outrageous extravagance.. like, pointing his finger and laughing at them.. which is funny, cuz friggin jim jones goes and releases his song, and then uses the chappelle gesture to promote it, when, in my mind, chappelle was actually making fun of rappers EXACTLY LIKE JIM JONES...

anyways..
oh.. i thought i made the discover of the century in my head earlier this week..

are you ready??.. yes??..

well i think that we as people live our whole lives on one simple concept..
and that concept is that we all strive for one thing..
and that thing is that we all try to live and make the least mistakes as possible..

THAT'S IT!..

think about it..
that's what were taught as little children and it carries on til forever..
don't make mistakes in school and you'll succeed...
don't make mistakes on your interview and you can get any job..

i know it's very general.. but it's also specific too.. because it doesn't focus on learning or even performing well or even succeeding.. just not messing up..

okies.. maybe it's extremely general, but you can't expect me to explain the purpose of all humans with just one sentence..

haters

maury christmas

I thought this was pretty funny.

speaking of white guys.. i would like to give out the "white guy of the year award" today.. although mike rowe did come in a close second the white guy of the year goes too...

(drumroll)

MORGAN SPURLOCK!!..

this is the dood that did the documentarty "supersize me" and he also has a show now called "30 days" which i highly recommend to anybody wishes to expand their view of what this country actually is made up of.. this show is probably the craziest thing to hit middle america since.. i'm gonna say the craziest thing ever.. and i'm assuming that middle america actually watches this..

but surrrously, this fool isn't afraid to expose the bare truth about anything.. iono.. there's so much to write about his show.. it's just frickin CRAZY.. the latest episode gave the lowdown on the how prisons are the new cash crop.. how the whole system is just a modernized version of slavery.. i mean.. the business of prisons is exactly that... a business.. there are corporations and unions that are DEPENDING ON THE GROWING NUMBER OF PRISONS, not the growing number of schools or community centers, but depending on the expectation of the incarceration of more and more people.. and there is no federal push to make prisons a means of rehabilitation, NONE, strictly a means of punishment.. the only people pushing for these types of programs are former prisoners.. iono.. there's so much to write about it..

basically, for me.. he shows to me what middle america, and maybe even how some places closer to home actually are on a personal level... like what people are actually thinking when they say that there shouldn't be gay marriages, or that islam is the reason for 9/11, or that illegal immigrants are the problem with this country.. i mean.. it's just crazy..

just do me a tiny favor and watch an episode.. if you don't find it interesting or stimulating at all, that's fine.. but hopefully you'll like it enough to stop on that if you ever catch it again..

white guy of the year

tis the season of giving and receiving

so please don't be ungrateful to those that have done things for you, even if those things were before this season of giving and receiving..


if the shoes fit..
then wear the shoes..
especially if somebody else bought the shoes for you..




ps. prolly my biggest pet peave is ungratefulness, i really don't like watching mtv anymore because shows like my super sweet 16 and shit like that just show spoiled white kids (and sometimes even spoiled kids of color too! boo!) and how spoiled they are and how much rich mommy and daddy love to keep their kids spoiled and it doesn't contribute to move society in any direction other than to hate other people for being so frickin spoiled!! i'm not saying that spoiling your children every now and then is bad.. it's not 100% good, but it's not bad (i'm sure i'll spoil any children that i might have).. all i'm saying is that you don't have to broadcast that shit all over the network and rerun it like 1023941 times cuz all these people do is flaunt their wealth (and their ginormous amount of general ignorance!) to the rest of america..

and yes it's entertaining and whatnot but you really have to think what it's contributing to society.. in my opinion.. it's just degrading our society..

like jurassic 5 said..
either you're a part of the problem, or you're a part of the solution
what's your contribution to life??


that being said.. you should definitely watch dirty jobs with mike rowe.. that shit is entertaining and it gives light to jobs that people have that make civilization possible...


but yes.. don't be ungrateful.. you ingrates!..
