Hit the weed and pass out...

As y'all probably know by now I have a huge love/weak spot for rap...especially Juicy J. Like, y'all, there's just something about the bass and clever lines that make my shoulders bounce and my head bob.

So this week in class, a friend of mine played this song (Smoke a Nigga) and seriously...I'm the whitest girl ever, but hey, if Miley can twerk, more power to the white girl, right? I love finding new things to jam to, and this is for sure one of my new favorites. Thanks, Will.

Rant on being a "bitch" in America

Recently in my speech class, we watched a documentary called American Tongues, all about how we as Americans, should respect the cultures and accents of others...which I'm all for, until it becomes communistic and absurd. There were many interviews throughout the film, and it was amazing to see how many people felt sorry for themselves. Watching the truth in stereotypes become so apparent was amazing. I’m a strong believer in people only being as smart as they push themselves to be, and part of intelligence is being able to speak properly in the language of your country. This is America and we speak in English, and honestly, it’s your own fault if you’re disrespected or miss-understood because of a lack of effort on your part. How much effort people put in to feeling sorry for other people blew me away. Honestly, that’s what being politically correct is: adapting yourself to make others feel more comfortable.. I think that if people took even a fraction of the time they spend worrying about other people, and spent it on creating more solid opinions for themselves, the country would be much stronger, because that’s what we need. America was founded on, and by people with strong opinions, and all of us trying to please each other is creating weak people that tolerate anything, because intolerance is treated like terrorism now a days.
When do you think that happened? When did American culture become so dependent on total satisfaction? Why is it so important that everyone feel included? That’s honestly absurd. If everyone was meant to be equal, pearls wouldn’t be expensive and restaurants wouldn’t have star rating system; there wouldn’t be social class separation, and a janitor would be viewed the same way as a CEO. But that’s NOT the case. America is characterized by hard work and strong individuals, and the second we say “it’s okay….you don’t really have to work, we’ll make excuses for you” is the day America breeds it’s weakest generation, and I think that that day has already come.
