Re: I'm in Dallas ISD and boy, do I know where you're coming: "Last year I transferred to Dallas and couldn't believe what I
saw the kids doing and the way the whole school behaved! Don't
get me wrong, I've done inner city for a long time and I had
NEVER seen a school this bad! Discipline was not something I
had ever had problems with, but this place was way beyond
anything I had ever seen. Every day for the first 3 months of
school I cried all the way to work (a 1 hour drive for me) and
I cried all the way back home. Most days, I cried the minute I
dropped the kids off at specials and lunch. It was horrible!
All I kept thinking was 'Oh God! What have I done???!!!'"

The Vocabula Review - September 2003 - Singular They: The Pronoun That Came in from the Cold - jjoan ttaber altieri: "Beyond the world of linguistics, it isn't generally known that singular they was once accepted usage in English writing and speech. There is no evidence that speakers of Middle English and early Modern English used gender-inclusive he as we know it today (Hook 333). In fact, Bodine claims, 'English has always had ... linguistic devices for referring to sex-indefinite referents, notably the use of singular 'they' (their, them)' (168). Examples of such usage can be found on Henry Churchyard's Linguist Page, a website that applauds singular they's long tradition in English literature. "
Anon e-Guy's Diary - (anon e-motion): "He believes in god. When we originally started 'dating' he told me he was an atheist. Unfortunately during the last year or two he has inched closer and closer to being religious. He has admitted that he wants to go to church sometimes, and I am very, very uncomfortable with this. I have always told myself that I would not get involved with someone religious, it is just too fundamental a disagreement to live with."
queenofhalves: faith and film: "One of the things we always pressed at the first session for this agnostic & atheist group I was part of was that one could be agnostic and atheist. They are not mutually exclusive but describe two slightly separate spheres of belief.

Agnosticism deals with one's epistemological stance - what we can know about God. Atheism (and theism) deal with one's metaphysical stance - whether or not they believe a God actually exists.

So someone can be an agnostic atheist or even an agnostic theist. There is even a further differentiation of atheism into weak and strong but I'll leave that for later."

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | World-renowned scholar Edward Said dies: "Edward Said, the world-renowned scholar, writer and critic has died aged 67, it was announced today.
Said died at a New York hospital, his editor Shelly Wanger said. He had suffered from leukaemia since the early 1990s.
He was born in 1935 in Jerusalem - then part of British-ruled Palestine - and raised in Egypt before moving to the United States as a student. He was for many years the leading US advocate for the Palestinian cause.
His writings have been translated into 26 languages and his most influential book, Orientalism (1978), was credited with forcing Westerners to re-examine their perceptions of the Islamic world. "
Resistentialism: "The Oxford English Dictionary defines resistentialism as a ''mock philosophy which maintains that inanimate objects are hostile to humans'' and calls it a ''humorous blend'' of the Latin res, thing(s), and French résister, to resist, with existentialism. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, Fifth Edition (2002), perhaps in resistential defiance of its title, expands that definition to ''a mock philosophy maintaining that inanimate objects are hostile to humans or seek to thwart human endeavours.''
Resistentialism was coined by the British humorist Paul Jennings in a brilliant send-up of Jean-Paul Sartre and the philosophy of existentialism published in The Spectator in April 1948. Although Jennings coined the word in jest, I must object to Oxford's dubbing resistentialism a ''mock philosophy.'' There is nothing mock or sham about it, as anyone who has ever had to call a plumber on a Sunday morning to unclog a refractory toilet will attest.
'''Les choses sont contre nous.' 'Things are against us,''' Jennings writes in his later essay, ''Report on Resistentialism,'' which appears in ''Oddly Enough'' (1950) and ''The Jenguin Pennings'' (1963). ''This is the nearest English translation I can find for the basic concept of Resistentialism, the grim but enthralling philosophy now identified with bespectacled, betrousered, two-eyed Pierre-Marie Ventre. . . . In the Resistentialist cosmology that is now the intellectual rage of Paris Ventre offers us a grand vision of the Universe as One Thing -- the Ultimate Thing (Dernière Chose). And it is against us.'' "

ABCNEWS.com : Justice Department Targets Porn Industry: "Rob Zicari and his fiancée, Janet Romano, arrived at a Pittsburgh courthouse this morning to face the first major federal prosecution for obscenity in more than a decade. Earlier this month, they were indicted and today they were arraigned on 10 counts relating to the production and distribution by mail of obscene materials. They each face 50 years in prison and a fine of up to $2.5 million.

'We're facing more time than the guy that they just arrested that was trying to sell the surface-to-air missile,' said Zicari."

It posts its own blogs and provides a weekly list of links called 'Best of Blogs.'"

Ruben Israel, 42, a construction worker from Los Angeles, said he had come to New York to protest the school's expansion.

'This is a historical moment, and this school is a blemish on our society,' Mr. Israel said. 'It's my duty as a Christian to share Jesus' take on all this.'

Raevyn's Journal

so the conversation went like this

my mother: do you ever wonder if you have bipolar or something? becaue you have a *biological sister* that does. actually, do you ever think about your biological mother. i mean you must. ever wonder who she is? or if its someone you know?

me: of course. sometimes. havent in a while. its usually a passing phase

mother: because it is you know, ... someone that you know. and she knows exactly who you are.


WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?????????
My whole life, i've been in front of the woman that gave birth to me and i never knew it??? So confused. Feeling so betrayed. Somewhat lied to. and VERY angry. I wouldnt let her tell me who it is. Now i know i really dont think I'll ever want to know who this person is. For all i know, its a relative. My night just got worse then i could ever have imagined.
read me, judge me
