A Different Eulogy

Last week I was watching one of my favorite show called A Different World. For those of you who have never seen the show it is about a group of African American students that go to a HBC (historically black college) and it shows all the things they have to deal with all based on the fact that its different from home. Hence the name A Different World. During this esp. Whoopi Goldbuerg and Tisha Cambell-Martin were guest stars. Whoopi was playing some type of professor and she gave her class an assignment that they had to write their own eulogy and would have to present it to the class. The concept she had behind the assingment was that I am a voice in this world and I should be heard. Well in Tisha's eulogy she told the class she had died of AIDS. When she exposed her secret the class was in shock and started acting different (btw I do believe that even with the knowlege that we have aquired about AIDS people would cant werid or should I say ignorant around a person with AIDS). But that wasnt the thing that caught my attention about this esp. it was the fact that Whoopi had them write their own eulogy. I belive I would have a hard time writing my own eulogy because I would have to keep in mind that the things in it would have to be realistic. For example my dream the be the first African American female President will probably not come true. As much as I would love for this to happen I dont believe the world is 1 ready to open up their minds to new ideas and 2 the world is not willing to look past the color of peopls skin or their gender. Another thing that I would love have happen but most likely wont would be to be the person that comes up with a cure for both ADIS and breast cancer. This dream wont becoming true because math and science are not my two strongst subject. I do believe that writing my own eulogy would be a good way to set goals and be more comfortable with death. Once I had an outline of what I wanted my eulogy to say I asked a few friends what they thoguth their eulogy would say. Now some came up with very good things for it to say but they were some what outside the box. And others couldnt even think of were to start. But no matter what they all said I really dont know what I want it to say but all I know is I want it to be full of exciting and good things. I must say I agree. I want my eulogy to full of exciting and good things. This is not a sign that I am dying or that I am about to die its simply me wondering what if. If you think you are up for the challeneg try to write your own eulogy. You dont have to share it with anyone or even let people know you wrote it. But see if you can actually write one without making it outrageous. Its a very interesting adventure if I do say so myself.

F**k Barbie and Ken

Sometimes I feel like I'm sittin' in the back row of Barbie and Ken 101. A class we are all in, but never seem to learn from. Some general ed requirement for students of American culture. A genral eduacation that convinces even the brightest of young women that sex is survival of the thinnest. And I'm sick of this education that doesn't serve our best interests. M y teacher has no face. She is every Revelon model women have ever chased. Her lectures come through magazines in beauty shops & add campaigns. Sh** just turn on your tv this just in, a skewed perspective for todays youth. Y'al ladies aint thin enough, fellas aint trim enough, wanna be sexy? Y'al don't go to the gym enough, cut to commercial. Common just come tune into our maintenance team, convince you're ugly then tell you how to fix it with Maybeline. Perpetually started by these dolls marketed in the late 50's named Barbie and Ken. Hence the class I'm in. Are you following? This sh** doesnt end. They keep moldin' Barbie to fit new trends. Next maybe they'll have club hoppin' Barbie with thongs as accessories. Video hoe Barbie abusive boyfriend sold separately. Underaged Barbie, R.Kellys included. Or 9/11 victim Barbie and Ken is proud to get recruited. Problem is all these teachings are womans decay. And I'm startin' to worry cuz my girl is up front and she's getting an A. This is where I start getting pissed off ok. When the f**k did it become all about tuckin' in the gutt I gotta get the bigger breast shit I wanna fit a little better in a dress, so let me get a little skinny gotta fit into an itty bitty size slimmer so I livin up the chest. Please teacher teacher I wanna give my oral presentation cuz I have a problem with the class, and matter of fact, I have, a fat a** grudge with the whole sadministration. You're the reason my girl won't eat in front of me in restaurants. The reason that she thinks she's overweight in over ten spots. Less gut, less pudge, less lunch, less real, more looks more love more Barbieappeal. F**k Barbie and Ken my future daughter will never play with them. You're the reason bleedin' 15 year old girls arms are slit. You made 12 year olds think skinny was a compliment. And now it's too late. I can't write my way through this bathroom door. So I raise my hand in class cuz I can't stand it any more. Teacher teacher your lectures all backwards. You got mothers and daughters forgetting what matters. Cuz above t*ts, a**, lips, legs, and ugs. The most attractive women are the ones who don't give a f**k. So screw all your teachings, your lessons and plans. You skewed sick distant relative of the man.Your plan for brainwashin' my baby I reject I'm walkin' out of this class, and I will proudly take, my F.

I didnt write this poem. Its by this teenage kid name Rafael Casal. He is such a talented young man. This poem is a big issue and yet he manages to put some funny lines in there. I must say this is one of my fav poems.

A Celerbration for Her

I am very late on telling how the celebration went but I think it will be ok. It was very difficult to stand before her grave and tell her all the wonderful things going on in my life. I wanted her to be there for them. I wanted to her to be able to laugh with me. It was almost like there was no point in having thoes things happen without her. I have never cried so hard for a friend in my life. I have lost a lot of friends for different reasons. Things from we grew up and had nothing in common any more to the boy in our 3rd grade class gave one of us a Valentine and didnt give the other one. But never have a lost a friend like this. And I shouldnt sayI lost her cause really I didnt she is very much in my heart. I should say I have never gone without seeing a friend because of something like this. And out of all the friends that have come and gone I have never missed any of them like I miss her. Sure I have always wanted to know what they are doing or how life is going for them. But never have I wanted more than any thing to give up everything I own for them to be back in my life. I can honestly say that I would do anything to have her back here. Even if I was told I could never talk to her again. Just the thought that she is not laying in a gave and she is walking around beig happy is fine. It would hurt me to my soul but it would be worth her happiness. So the celebration was hard but we made it through. And I will believe each year that passes will get harder. Only because she wont be at all of the wonderful events. But as I said before on the day she was laid to rest and I placed that white rose inside her grave I will see her again. And it will be the most wonderful day any human could have ever experience because I will not only be with a friend but I will be with my other half.
