Lately, I've felt like I have a lot of knowledge to share with people. I always want to talk about something. Yet, why is it when I sit down to blog, I can't really figure out what to say? I'm not quite sure why that is. That wasn't some sort of rhetorical question. Somewhere along the lines something happened in my brain, shutting off all creativity and sass I held for writing. Should I blame my AP Language and Composition class? I guess I could, but I don't know if I want to. I would rather force myself to sit down and write than find a reason why I can't sit down and write.
Do you ever have a teacher that says some good shit but then other times you're like "This bitch is high on bullshit,"? That's my sociology teacher. It's a college course, she teaches at a community college down the way. She'll stand there (more like she'll lean against a desk in a way that looks really uncomfortable because i feel the corner of the table is poking her butt) and will talk about case studies or people she works with, or a lot of straight to the point sociology/communication stuff and I totally agree with her. Then there are other times when she says things and I have to keep my mouth shut, then after class find this girl and we bitch about how mad she made us. One time when we were talking about the Industrial Revolution she brought up how people in other countries are getting more jobs for making things (i.e. clothes, toys, cars, etc) and how it's not right that our American jobs are being taken by other country people because they think Americans are "too expensive." She was just ranting about how we were being played so dirty. I just wanted to be like, "It's not that we're too expensive, it's that they're abusing those people in those countries! Those people working in factories are not making then money they need to live. We shouldn't be upset about how they're taking our jobs. We should be upset they're being taken advantage of." Of course I kept my mouth shut. And again kept my mouth shut when she talked about how it wasn't Walmart's fault that they had lead in their toys because they weren't the ones making it, China was. Oh my lawd I almost walked out that day! Don't you think it's a company's responsibility to know WHO'S making their products, HOW they're making them, and WHAT they're making them with? I sho do! But, hey, what the fuck do I know? (I'm not a Chitown nigga with a nice flow but that sure would've been convenient if I was.) The other day, she mentioned how we've had a cure for cancer for about 40 years now, but the medical companies don't want to release it. Medical companies do some FUCK UP SHIT. But, I don't exactly believe we've had a cure for cancer that long. Sometimes, when people get mad at her, I believe they might just not really be understand completely what she's saying. She frequently talks shit about Obamacare, and people will role their eyes. It's true, though. Obamacare isn't going that well... at all. She never said why she thought it was going poorly! She's not talking shit about Obama, and she's not praising any Republican "enemy" of his, but for some reason people get offended by what she's saying. They're assuming she doesn't like Obama because she's talking shit about Obamacare when she really never said anything of the sort. People jump to conclusions quickly. It's just strange how one day I can really dig what she's saying, and feel completely absorbed in the lecture, then other days I just space out because I know if I listen I'm just going to get more and more frustrated. Life be like that sometimes.
