Lacking Penmanship...

I was going to write in my hand written journal this morning, but when I started walking down the stairs I tripped and fell (not the first time). I'm fine other than the baby toe on my right foot and my right thumb. The toe I can handle, the thumb feels like a manatee fell out of a blimp and landed square on my hand. I've never seen my thumb bend so far backwards and I hope I never do again. Do not worry, dear readers, I am resilient enough. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be able to use it again. Mental note: don't try to lift glass of water with right hand until its use has returned.

Yesterday I got in some trouble. I will spare the details, but suffice to say that spray painting boobs on the bathroom door of a frat house that has been sold to the bridge company is not welcomed by many (although - I was not the one who did the penises - and my limerick was surprisingly clever). This has added fuel to a greek fire that began burning when one of my sisters (on whom I unfortunately must bestow this label) physically assaulted a frat boy at this very same house. The catch? She lives with the Chapter Advisor, so when the motion to ban her from the new house came to the table, it sparked a lot of controversy. Now the fraternity alumni are ready to ban all of my sorority from the new frat house, and I was partial cause of that. It doesn't seem to matter that I have had very little to do with the sorority for the past couple of years. I washed my hands of most of them and can/will only stomach a select few. The fact that is that I am a Phi Sigma Sigma alumnae, like it or not, and people refuse to see beyond that.

Which leads me to my rant about closed minded people and their ignorant kin. In a modern world where globalization is a social reality, urbanism is hotter than ever, and the newest anthropological trend is to "go native", it surprises me that there are still a LOT of people who can't think outside the box. I'm not talking about nymphomaniacs here folks - I am referring to those who cannot place people and situations into some kind of social context. Is it really that difficult to step outside a situation and see the different points of view? (See Heidegger on Dasein)

It angers me that people can really be that ignorant. In my opinion, they are the chlorine in the gene pool of humanity. Unfortunately, there seems to be more chlorine than water, and my eyes are turning red... beyond the communist sense of the word. Perhaps they are actually a red herring, intending to lead us away from 'Capital T' Truth, wisdom and enlightenment. Fish can do that, you know. Especially the red ones. They distract us with pretty colours then they go in for the final blow. Like the piranha of communism. No matter what the situation is, these people make me ill. So I believe their red feesh is seeck. Maybe I just need to numb the mental agony with Malibu rum.
