Yeah... It's funny some of the things in this post... I use to live in Richmond... And now where I live now: Olympia Wa... the white Rasta thing is overly popular...

i find it fascinating how white people can take up something that explicitly states--repeatedly--that it's a "black man's religion." like, take a hint, honky? that's why i call it "cultural imperialism." and i say this as a Person of Pallor. i LOVE roots reggae. but Rastafarianism is not intended for me. if someone invites me to a grounation, i'll go, but i'm not going to intrude. one of the most offensive things i ever heard was when Patti Smith, in an interview at the time of Radio Ethiopia, said about Rastafarianism "it belongs to us now, too." well, no. no, it doesn't.

Real Rastas crack me up.
"I just need time for me weed break man."
"You know that it's a federal offense to have it on a boat."
"Yah man, I be quick."

feminist Rasta...that may actually be more self-contradictory than "Indian Cavalry scout" or "Jewish Nazi." though not more self-contradictory than "gay Jewish Nazi."

That's the look right before he realizes that he wrote a musical about Spiderman and the soul is crushed.

Some people ...
Make plans for Sunday on the day before, then cancel last minute.
Re-schedule for next week, completely forget about it.
Re-schedule again, forget what time it was.

Because I don't think this belongs in any other thread: one of my teachers said something very true and wise today- when you are young everything except school is important.. but as you get older you slowly realize that the important thing when you were young was school. Hmmm.. seems true to me... we shall see.
