So you may have all heard there was a drive-by in Kenmore. Ok, I coiuld take that CVS was replaced by a Dollar General, I could handle the huge influx of tanning salons, I could even deal with the large amount of people wearing wife beaters, I would even have gone so far to let W. Hazeltine and Tremaine be given over to ghetto but now it is offical, Kenmore is becoming the ghetto. There was a drive-by on Victoria I mere four blocks from where I live and about 10 houses from where I work. Insanity. And where were the police? How did they not catch them? They have what ten police cars partoling only one small square mile, they were most likely too busy pulling someone over for going 31 mph or yelling at a group of kids sitting on the lawn outside their own house. I guess those kids in Canada a few years ago were right when we told them we were from Kenmore and they were like "that's liek the ghetto isn't it?". But alas, don't worry, Kenmore has a solution. They have created new designer sidewalks on Delaware Avenue. Now that's the answer we've all been looking for.

Wow my cd collection is growing fast thanks to Matt who is computerizing his cd collection and getting rid of the actual cds. As anyone who knows me knows, I love to collect cds, and now my variety has been superly increased. Everything from Joan Jett to Jekyl and Hyde to Sonique and ATC. Hours of listening fun!!! THANKS MATT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DI!!! I HOPE YOU AREN'T TOO SICK FROM LAST NIGHT STILL AND HAVE A GEAT DAY!!

So I had my first official thesis meeting. What a crock this is. I am not interested in writing a 40 page paper just to have my diploma say with honors from Canisius. But alas I must do it. At least I have an offical advisor now, Thanks Dr. Christian! ANd I am going to write something to do with big shopping especially Walmart and its effects on communities and how people interact. Anyone wanna write it for me? lol....ok so if you are looking for me the library is where I will be for the rest of my life....or i will procrastinate and do it all in the last week.

Did anyone know that the Wizard of Oz was written as like a populist argument about the gold standard in the United States.Dorothy was the American people, Oz stood for an ounce of gold, Dorothy's slippers were origianlly sivler and walking on the yellow brick road represented the bimettacllic standard but MGM changed them to red cuz they were more flashy on the screen.
The Good WIthches of the NOrth and South represent New England and the South which were populist strongholds while the Wicked Wtich of the East was the Eastern banking and industries. The scarecrow was western farmers, the tinman was eastern workers who were so dehumanized they didn't even have a heart, the cowardly likon was Wiliam Jenings Bryantand the Emeral City was Washington DC. THe Wizard was President Mckinley.
Insanity...I always just thoguht it was a movie for kids.
