Honestly I don’t care what America does I just wish it would stop calling itself “The Land of The Free.”
Honestly if it would just stop trying to pass as the leader of the free world I wouldn’t really care about it’s laws.

On singing nigga.
I’m concerned about saying the n-word in rap songs. I like to rap along with Weezy and Jay-Z, but as a white girl, I feel like I shouldn’t be saying the n-word even when it’s just part of a song. Censoring myself or saying something else instead just feels stupid. I know it would be better to ask a person of color (I assume you’re white? Correct me if I’m wrong) but I’m too embarrassed. What should I do?
Sing the fucking song, you hypersensitive twit.
I love this woman.
An excerpt from “A Short History of Everything” by Bill Bryson
“Not only have you been lucky enough to be attached since time immemorial to a favored evolutionary line, but you have also been extremely-make that miraculously-fortunate in your personal ancestry. Consider the fact that for 3.8 billion years, a period of time older than the Earth’s mountains and rivers and oceans, every one of your forebears on both sides have been attractive enough to find a mate, healthy enough to reproduce, and sufficiently blessed by fate and circumstances to live long enough to do so. Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life’s quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result-eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly-in you.”
I am already enamored of this book! I abandoned “Fifty Shades of Grey” for it, and boy am I glad. “Grey” was disappointing and disillusioning. I abhor stories where the protagonist is a weak woman. This is a nice departure from my usual non-fiction predilection of criminal psychology. Highly recommended read.
