The waste remains, The waste remains and kills

Senior Year is kind of an absurd life stage.

Right now I have a poem by Andrea Gibson as my only locker decoration. Isn't that obnoxious? The title of this blog post is not from Andrea Gibson. Anyway, I think pictures of Biggie and Karen O. are coming, but it's still all quite unnecessary.

To me, lockers represent oppression. People should let their possessions roam free! Even into the pockets of other people... As a communist, I believe that my goods belong to all who need them as a beautiful gesture of synchronisity and togetherness.

As an Anarchist, I believe the fact that I may very well bust a cap at anyone who takes MY stuff is a highly legitimate deterrent.

No but really....plz don't jack my shit.

Also, I knew swearing off high school dances was the best thing I've ever done. DJ'ing those things is nightmarish. I think the career of DJ D-rippz may well be drawing to a close.

I am a roller coaster. I am a bear cub. I feel like this is all leading to some kind of interpretive dance.

The wikipedia article on 'self actualization' says this:

"People that have reached self-actualization are characterized by certain behaviors. Common traits amongst people that have reached self-actualization are as follows:
They embrace reality and facts rather than denying truth.
They are spontaneous.
They are interested in solving problems.
They are accepting of themselves and also others and lack prejudice. "

I feel the last three I live out to the best of my ability, which is arguably not very well. But it's not like I'm some kind of Raina Martens or something. (On a side note, I feel Raina Martens deserves several apologies....)

Wait...shouldn't it be "People *who* have reached self-actualization"? Whatever. As evidenced by the last sentence I can't even punctuate. Or spell. Or capitalize. Gahhh I miss Dr. Laughlin.

Anyway, are YOU, my imaginary reader, self actualized?

EDIT (11/2/09): RAINA MARTENS IS NOT PREJUDICED OR RACIST OR ANYTHING THAT WAS JUST ME TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS BUT FAILING AND CAUSING PEOPLE ANXIETY AND YEAH...DEAR RAINA SORRY I AM SOCIALLY INEPT.....eeeeek....i don't want a disciplinary hearing!!!

Milk

Milk has always held a lot of significance for me. I was allergic to dairy until I was 8, so I imagined milk tasted like melted ice cream. Then I drank some and it didn't, and I went into a spiraling depression. Kind of. Harvey Milk was also an important civil rights leader. But he wasn't interesting. I learned this from the biopic about him, also titled... "Milk". But the trial surrounding his death was interesting. That wasn't in the movie though.

This is what is wrong with the slave culture perpetuated by the American Movie Trafficing Industry!!!! I AM SELF RIGHTEOUS!!!! SEE? SEE?

Anyway, my friend Alexx doesn't drink milk. She told me the non organic kind comes from a bunch of different cows and if one of them was sick I could be in trouble.

Then I drank some milk. To you know, be belligerent.

Anyway... To me, milk represents oppression. Cows should only really be milked after giving full verbal consent. If you're a dairy farmer and would like to know how to do this while still being sexy, I'm holding a workshop this saturday at the IMC.
