I need a stress reliever tonight.I am going to conquer the baja challenge at taco bell. I am excited. You chug an xl baja blast all it once. I am so stoked. It's going to be epic. I'm going to puke. But I'll get some taco bell. That's always worth it. I love taco bell. Oh yeah. I'm so stoked. woot woot. I am really stressing out to come home. I don't think American Airlines allows you to take instruments on planes. I can't check my guitars. That's scary. I found out that the 3rd bag costs A LOT. I don't even have my third bag with me yet. this is BAD. oh boy.

I wrote a paper today, I'm tired and don't have the capacity to write much. I hope you enjoy it.


Yo’ Oppressors, I’m Really Happy For You and All [NOT] and I’mma Let You Finish…But Other People Have Rights Too!

The foremost goal that came from the struggles of blacks and women for equal rights was an overall transformation of the American societal structure; it was not equal participation within the existing society. Both the blacks and the women wanted transformation. The transformation, that the two communities wanted, consisted of changing the societal structure whereas as equal participation did not consist of changing the societal structure but rather just a differentiating of the roles played by the blacks and women during the civil rights era. The black panthers—defenders of the black community—wanted nationalism that came from revolution. The black community wanted reparations in the form of land from the white community and for the white community to take responsibility for years of segregation and degradation. Women wanted transformation so that women could be more individualistic and ultimately attain self-fulfillment.
The black community wanted a revolution. The ideology of the black panthers was that revolution went hand in hand with the ideology of nationalism. We see this belief in Malcolm X’s speech when he states, “If you love revolution, you love black nationalism.” Part of the platform for the black panthers states that, “we want the power to determine the destiny of our Black Community.” The black panthers no longer were looking for equal representation or equality of jobs and things of that sort but rather the black panthers wanted complete power over the black community; they were looking for self-sufficiency and self-government. They wanted the protection of the United States Constitution but wanted trials and things of that sort done by a jury of their peer group or members of their black community (Document 6).
The black community had the ideology—that came and grew from the black panthers—that they deserved reparations in the form of land, and also what needed to happen was that the oppressors—the white community—must to take responsibility for what they had done. President Johnson said it best when he said, “White America must accept responsibility.” This was a view not seen prior to the civil rights movement and prior to the black panthers. Malcolm X said, “Revolution is based on land. Land is the basis for all independence. Land is the basis of for freedom, justice, and equality.” For the black community to demand land is to demand power. Land is power. Giving the Negroes the land—that they deserved— was promoting a transformation rather than just equality.
Women craved transformation. The Redstockings Manifesto stated the beliefs of the women at the time of the feminist movement, “Women are an oppressed class. Our oppression is total, affecting every facet of our lives…Our humanity is denied” The women of the civil rights era wanted mans reign of oppression to come to an end. They fought oppression valiantly on many fronts. The main front was the attack on the cornerstone of the Amerikkan society. They wanted to break apart the family. The feminist movement of the civil rights era wanted to pursue individualism and believed that self-fulfillment was possible through individuality (Mashner). Women were no longer looking for equality, they were now concerned with looking for a complete transformation that idolized individualism not family ties.
The primary goal that came from the troubles of blacks and women for equal rights was the transformation of the American societal structure not equal participation within the existing structure. This goal—in the case of the blacks—came from: the black panthers ideology that revolution led to nationalism and also the belief that reparations in the form of land, a.k.a. power, were due and that the white community needed to take responsibility. The goal—in the case of women—came from the belief that their humanity was denied (Mashner).

Quote of the day:

A man's silence is wonderful to listen to.
Thomas Hardy

I wrote a new song. It's title s oh freaking s. tell me how you like it. or dislike it. I'm okay with brutal honesty. I'm starting to write A LOT of songs. I have like 6 in the making right now and about another 8 done. Woot Woot! time to start TCO!

here it is

This makes no sense to me. Why is it that I always come up short? Why is it that you only see my failure and never see my success? I’m trying so hard to make you happy and I’m trying so hard to surpass your expectations but it’s never enough.

This is an s oh freaking s. I’m sick of stupidity. I need someone to save my soul! I’m falling in too deep, falling into your game, somebody please, save my soul!

I go aboce and beyone. Tryin so hard to help you. I’m doing everything for you with nothing in return. The lack of balance I feel is screwing me up. Can you see it? Can you feel it? I don’t think you can. In fact, I know you can’t. You’re too self absorbed to care for anyone but yourself.

This is an s oh freaking s. I’m sick of stupidity. I need someone to save my soul! I’m falling in too deep, falling into your game, somebody please, save my soul!

I’ve tried too much. I have given too much and ultimately I have failed miserable way too many times with you. I’m giving up on you. This time it’s for real. You’ve left me with no other choice. You gave me this ultimatum and I’ve gotta do what I’ve gotta do. I’ve got nothing left from you but an empty wallet and a broken heart.

This is an s oh freaking s. I’m sick of stupidity. I need someone to save my soul! I’m falling in too deep, falling into your game, somebody please, save my soul!

This goodbye is my final goodbye, this goodbye is the permanent goodbye. This time I mean it, this time I believe it. I’d say it was good while it lasted but I don’t believe in lying. This is it, this is real, I am done. Goodbye.

[I am thinking about doing another chorus at the end and then adding a few more verses. I still need a bridge. But I don’t know. How do you like it as of now?]

I love you all, goodbye.

second blog of the day

5 more things i'm thankful for:
1. multiple blogs in one day
2. taco bells on saturday nights
3. getting to sleep after taco bell
4. dr. pepper after taco bell
5. writing this blog about taco bell

Today was an amazing night. It was most definitely a pick me up. I went to taco bell with friends this morning. It was absolutely fantastic. I love taco bell. I was able to enjoy two burritos and a chalupa. I LOVE chalupas. They taste so good. I am really grateful for delicious food. I enjoy the fact that taco bell has a fourth meal whereas other places do not stay open that late. I was excited for McDonald’s either tonight or last night but I was unfortunately informed that they stay open to a measly 11pm. It was quite silly of them. I disagree with their lack of proper hours. Dr. Pepper is a really fantastic drink that I enjoy. I do not drink soda, or pop, or soda-pop, or whatever you choose to call it, very often because I believe it is bad for you. I do not like it. Tonight I bought some Dr. Pepper from the vending machine. It satisfied me. It put a smile on my face. I am rather tired at the moment. My eyes are shutting. But that’s okay I’ll write a little bit more. I love drinking fantastic liquids. I like water. I like lamp. Brick Tamland is a funny character. I love writing more than one blogs in one day. I love the fact that I am going to be coming home in 9 days. That makes me so excited! I am finally under double digits. Woot woot. I can’t wait to see and hang out with everyone. Okay, I think that I have written enough for the day. Sleepy time for James!

I love you all, goodbye.
