I'm having a panic attack. From the very first show I seemed to know this would happen. Why it happens now, my most difficult time of year, with the days growing shorter, my Solstice shopping not finished with only one day to go, deadbeat family issues, career issues . . well, it's ironic and it fits in well with my signature. But I don't want it, I need it, I worry why it hasn't come, what could be stopping it, what does it mean for the future . . .
one-hundred and fifty three . . .
one-hundred and fifty three . . .
one-hundred and fifty three . . .
one-hundred and fifty three . . .
one-hundred and fifty three . . .
one-hundred and fifty three . . .
one-hundred and fifty three . . .
 Happy Solstice Everyone!

You know, Keifer, I just noticed that in your show avatar, you (I'm assuming the sillouette [god I hate how the French have infiltrated our language] on the left is you) seem to be "dominating" the female in some kind of verbal altercation... Is that on purpose, or a subtle misogynistic sublimation of your feelings toward your partner and/or women in general?

That's only cause I'm 6'2" and she's 5'3" ;-)
And don't get me started about the French language I spent 4 hours in French language training this week dealing with their issue of pronouncing and spelling things differently depending on if it's male or female grrrrrrrrrrrr

Well I volunteered ... if I want to get anywhere in my department being bilingual is a must on your CV ... anytime a position opens up when someone leaves and it was marked as 'English Essential' it gets converted to 'Bilingual Essential' ... you don't have to learn it and your current position is safe but if you want to move up .....

In this country you need Spanish, not French. My mom told me that when I started high school, but being a teenager my mom was ALWAYS wrong, so I opted for francais. Retarded. My mom asked me when I'd use it. Of course, I told her that I might travel to Canada, or even Louisiana. What a fucking retard.
Three years and I don't know a fucking thing. Although once I got drunk while in Jamaica and I started talking to a guy who did not speak English. His younger, hot girlfriend DID speak English, so all the dudes were talking to her, so I tried talking to this old guy in French. Somehow it was working. I was totally pulling words out of my ass! Maybe it seemed more impressive to me cuz I was wasted, but I swear I would not have been able to do it sober.

In my graduating class, there were 4 non-hispanic people. 6 girls in my graduating class had 2 or more kids the day of graduation.
In California, 2 years of foreign language are required for graduation. My high school only offered Spanish. They automatically put all freshman into Spanish 1. I refused to go and stormed into my counselor's office after being given the class assignment. Since Spanish was not required by the law, I petitioned to take Sign Language from the local community college. The school board denied my request, saying the class was American Sign Language, and therefore, not a foreign language. Whatever. So I petitioned to be allowed to take French. They denied that one because I was 13, and California says they didn't have to allow it unless the student is 16 or older. So I threatened to sue on the grounds that since the majority of the students in our school were hispanic and ESL students, Spanish was not a foreign language to them. 4 years of English were already required by California law. The school was effectively forcing me to take Spanish, violating my rights.
They moved me into the drama class.
That school still only offers English and Spanish classes. I ended up not having to take any foreign language because the requirement was changed to language/fine arts. But I took Spanish my Junior and Senior years anyway because it looked good on college apps. Though I didn't go to college... Go figure.... |
