Why am I writing here after FOREVER of posting 1 line entries? I'm lazy.
So this year's been crazy. I was elected to student government, founded the computer science society, got dumped for the first time, quit computer games, came out to my family at Thanksgiving, YEA, THAT'S RIGHT, I'M GAYBITCHES (you couldn't tell?), ordered $20K worth of artwork at the Tufts train station, got a job at Goldman Sachs, took graduate classes at more than max credit load, got some girl expelled for cheating in a website design contest, and lost by 2 votes for next year's government.
I've felt a sort of transformation this year. I spent the summer at Tufts and by the end I was ready to do everything I thought was cool but never had the balls to go out and do. There are times when you get annoyed by things and say "That's so stupid, why don't they fix that?" and that's the end of it, you tell no one that you want it changed and so it just stays that way. This year, I learned that its not that hard to influence the world because most people (surprisingly) have a receptive ear. It takes time and effort, but if you tell someone you want something changed, and make sure it gets done, after a few one on one meetings you can say "I did that" and look upon that project with pride.
The problem is sometimes you have too many annoyances and little projects start to take up time. I had to cut off a few, but I've been able to do a lot of things this year because I was willing to get out there and do what I wanted.
Gay. Yes, I have a genetic mutation that associates the psychological and physiological behaviors usually associated with women, now to men. Kind of like Xmen, except, you know...even gayer. I've known since high school about my predicament and I'm sure as time goes on more people in our grade will let you know that they too had to deal with the secret for 4 long long years. In college though, you don't worry about the same homophobia that you did in high school so it doesn't really seem like a big problem now that high school seems so far back in the past.
Plus the world's changing. And being a black gay man isn't the lowest possible rung in society anymore (praise jesus). Now being a poor black gay man, that SUCKS. But I'm gonna be raking in some cash this summer with my new job so hopefully I won't end up that way.
I would kill a man for cold noodles and general tsos from chopstix.
I'm not so sure about Iraq anymore. Since the presidential address in which Bush declared Saddam had the capability to make a nuke I was on board. We won quickly and I was happy. Unfortunately my one mistake was relying upon a man who does not believe in evolution. Things are getting more and more fucked up and there's not much we at home can do about it (unless we enlist  ).
And look at that. After I explained to pro-war people over and over again my reason for supporting the war (An Iraqi democracy would be a shining light in the middle east, and it is the responsibility of the most powerful free country in the world to protect people from dictators) and getting rejected and laughed at for my reasons, at the end of it all when terrorist connections and weapons of mass destruction made no sense anymore, people turned to my reasons as the only doctrine to hold on to. You have to love conservatives, they'll believe and do whatever the Republican party tells them to believe and do.
We'll see how that turns out... |
