PROVIOLENCE

So, in one of Crhis Rock’s stand up routines he addresses the issue of violence against women. Yep. Very prosocial of him right? I espeically love this description, “see when she realizes that you’re not going to hit her she just goes off, no holds barred!” Hrmm… so you best be hitting your woman when she expects to be hit then right, just to keep her reined in. Of course not. See he qualified that statement by saying he would never ever ever hit a woman before starting the routine. See that makes it okay to joke about. See, i can throw around as many racial slurs as I want as long as I say I’m not racists before I do it.

I’m not really upset by Chris Rock’s routine. Well I am. I’m just more upset about Dave’s reaction to it. Even more upset when I asked him to stop watching it, he flicked away only long enough to explain to me that Chris Rock said he’d never hit a woman before flicking back. I guess I just don’t have a sense of humor.

I just don’t think that violence against women, or anyone for that matter, is ever funny. It’s just not. Thelre’s no way to make it funny. Joking about it because it’s a taboo subject is just bad taste. It’s not funny.

On the other front two things to say. First of all, I went to Old Navy. I spet 76 dollars and bought FOUR sweaters of angora (no you don’t kill the rabbit to get the fur), two pairs of pants, two button down shirts, one tee shirt and a scarf. HOLY CRAP BATMAN, right?! It was awesome, and I may go against tomorrow, because I just am so pleased with that sale. DAMN. Also, I now have the perfect interview outfit(s). I just NEED a new pair of shoes. Okay I really don’t NEED them, but a nice pair of balck shoes would complete my outfit nicely.

Second, Crystal emailed me woot. Having an email account is the EASIEST and best way for me to keep in touch with people, so I’m really excited that she has an email address. Not so excited that I need to send her the down payment for my dress, but that’s okay. Because I got my fat refund check TODAY.

Sadly though, I need to plan forf deposit in next year’s apartment and proabbly the purchase of some sort of vehicle in order to get too and from my job. You see I shall be living in Johnson Vermont in all likelihood next year. The better jobs for my field are in Burlington, looks like a long ass commute for me. It’ s okay though. I like todrive.

do you ever think that maybe you’ve already lost. cause I think I may have.
