Hello.. it's that time of year when you wish you had more meat..er money... but don't, so you do the next best thing and start sending Hallmark e-Christmas-cards out, waiting for the family to call you "cheap".

Ah well, the life of a perpetual college student..forever poor.

Sheling, if you read this... drop by or send me an e-mail hun.. Aberforth says hello :)

all for now..

Well this semester is driving me bonkers, but only because I procrastinate badly. I'm too distractable. I really need to sleep... for about 3 months... then I'll be ready for work!

Guess not much else is new with me.

Trying not to scream

An interesting poem was brought up in our American Mulit-cultural class today. It is by an African American poet of the 20's.

The Melting Pot

by Dudley Randall

<>

There is a magic melting pot

Where any girl or man

Can step in Czech or Greek or Scot,

Step out American.


<>

Johann and Jan and Jean and Juan,

Giovanni and Ivan

Step in and then step out again

All freshly christened John.

<>

Sam, watching, said, “Why, I was here

Even before they came,”

And stepped in too, but was tossed out

Before he passed the brim.

<>

And every time Sam tried that pot

They threw him out again.

“Keep out. This is our private pot.

We don’t want your black stain.”


<>

At last, thrown out a thousand times,

Sam said, “I don’t give a damn.

Shove your old pot. You can like it or not,

But I’ll be just what I am.”

Sadly I don't think America as a whole has accepted all races, and is becoming less and less trusting in lieu of recent historical events. Though a bit of healthy caution is okay, there are extremes...
