I should have Blogged about the rest of my FTE experience sooner. So I'll do my best to break it up and write as much as i can about:
Holocaust Center
International Spy Museum
Shitty 4th of july fireworks
Trust Walk
Power Walk
Check-in Groups
MY birthday wishes/goals
Final night at FTE (no sleep)
The people who really moved me this past week.
Goodbye's (my mad arse speech ;p)
Some more of folkers on gals/passion/preferences/wants/needs
I think thats pretty much the core of it ... i can't possibly write about it all 2day/2night... but ill try b4 i lose the essence of it.
I must say that I'm really enjoying work lately, its becoming more about makign things easier around the barn lately , with the finishing of the fence, rather than redundant cutting of grass (which always grows back) hence the repetition is painfully ironic. (or whatever YA)!
But le tme just finish for now by saying, Mad thanks to andy for da mod robes .. expectations are 0 and that woulda surpassed a high expextation bar .. so mad nice ;p
Oh and something thats been bugging me. More than i thought it would, Talked with gway alot about my fte experience. and well... just listen...
Jeff Cullen, the Leadership coordinator at my FTE trip is like a mad hardcore anti-sexism/anti-violence etc. anyways we do this gender role thing at FTE where guys and girls have a great chance to get to know more about the misconceptions that the opposite sex has on what we think about each other and what we want outa relationships etc. I listened to every word the kids had to say about this stuff, cuz i still can't figure the ladies out ,, but ya .. ill digress...
Jeff Cullen had so much relevant and alarming stuff to say during this 2+ hour session. Alot of it hit me kidna hard yet again cuz i still do alot of things that many would find offensive or abusive. Anyways... I was telling gway that games like Grand theft Auto' and the like continue to reinforce shitty things that are happening in our society today... i was annoyed when gway said, ohh thats a little extreme... he's too 'whatever''. I kinda agreed with you at the itme gar but deep down i didn't push to explain why it means alot to me. Ok so last yr back at the Cottage experience ... derek was plaing GTA and is tearing up the town doign dumb stuff and im usually ok with killing random bystanders n stuff, but then he starts beating up old ladies and punching guys till they bleed dead on the ground.. all jokes most, but inside i really hate this kinda stuff in games. I mean we are late teens loving this shit and i know preteen's are doing the same damn thing all around the country... .. Ok so apparently in GTA even worse .. there are cut-sceens where the guy is like raping some whore and then beats here down afterward .. graphic cut ssceens that to me are just friggen disgusting. So all im saying here is, that stuff does bug me, and i am standing up to that. I really can't see how today this shit keeps becoming available to younger and younger ppl and is accepted more and more... its like we are regressing... its that or im finnally seeing the world in the real and was sheltered too much as a child ...
So long story short, I don't think what Jeff Cullen stands for is too extreme.. if anything its not enough.. and if he was able to educate 40 young minds this past week to learn more about themselves and the economic culture around us then i say i want a life like that.
So ya, im all about open minds and the freedom of expression and yadabingbang.. i accept religions and different cultures and how they go about living life and i challenge people to ask"WHY?" to just about anything that comes thier way and to try new things and not just do thinks cuz ppl say so... free will plz!
But there are some things that i joke about and i shouldn't. So i will try not to.
ok so thats all i gotta say about that for now. And gway thanks for making me really think about all this even more. ( i do get alot of time to think on a farm) ;p
And ya .... hopefully i will blog with a little more thought for now on. Cuz it feels good to just let it all out, but it feels even better when you know people chuckle and smile while reading, and u cant do that if its ALL slang and disjoint, just like the crazy mind of folkers.
Die raymond ? HA! im still alive !
Oh and btw .. if u got the wrong date for my b-day .. jokez thanks for even remembering it was in july, dats all that matters really anyways ..
but just for all u who actually think its important . check this ..
my grandmother still thinks my bday is the 10th .. my sorta aunt' called on the 9th saying happy birthday one day early. when really she was a day late.
And I truly believe that the friends i have now and the friends i want to keep for as long as my life allows.
So thanks yall .. time to pee;p
