People's stupidity amazes me and I desperately wish I had normal dreams
This week even after being given a grueling work load in my biology class, there has only been two things that I have concentrated on harder than the others. I'm not like my family, or at least my relatives through my mom and dad. My mother and father were both born in a time of such great transitions. My father was born in the early 1950s and my mother was born in the late 1950s. They were both born where blacks were just getting their equality treatment. My parents are not racists, but there family is. This is one of the reasons I believe we live two states away from them. Spending time with my cousins is hard when I'm so open-minded. My cousins are very racist and just plain biased. This week alone has drilled into me of how open-minded I can be. I believe love choses the person, and whatever goes on in a person's bedroom is no one's business unless it is hurting someone else. Or you know they make a video and post it online, then it's EVERYONE'S business. My point, however, is that if you're gay, straight, by, transgender, or into group it is none of my damn business, no one's business. I have always judged by the content of the character not the color, race, religion, or ethnicity. Earlier this week I overheard two people discussing a person who had robbed an elderly couple and beats his own children. One of the person's said "well at least he wasn't gay, because gays are causing this country to go into ruin." Umm, What the hell? First I would just like to say that many great historians held secrets of being gay, and were fine leaders. Many great Roman emperors were gay. I think whoever you take to your bed is your business. How does being gay have to do with robbing someone? I also heard racism every where I went. Two people in front of me at the store went on and on about a black women. They incensed me when the used the hate word even. No one on this earth is of "pure blood". Somewhere down the line everyone has something in them that they hate. So I ask this question, How stupid can some people be? Do they have so much hatred in them that they are blind to character? This stupidity is also showing up in other ways, like rudeness and impoliteness. People are scared that the world is evil, it itsn't the world, it's the people. I have just one thing about this, OPEN YOUR EYES, AND LOOK AT WHO YOU JUDGE. Thank God though that I have a lot more people who are open minded. While I'm on the topic of overhearing people in the student lounge this week I overheard people discussing how their dreams are located in their short term memories and then I heard them discuss their dreams. The majority consisted of forgetting homework, missing work, or the loss of a loved one. I am sad and strangely distrubed to report that I do not have normal dreams. My dreams consist of valoso raptors chasing me into the sanctuary of my church to where there is a T-Rex. I still won't watch jurassic park no more, in fear I will once again have this dream. Then there was the one where I was trapped in the apartment building from the movie "Quarentine" and the rabid, man-eating zombies are going to eat me, unless I can solve the math problem. And the problem is on a regular chalk-board! I haven't seen one of those in ages. Well except in T.V. Then there is the weirdest one, where my desk turns into a magical portal and I fall onto a deck of books. I have to make it across the shark-infested waters to the other side and go to the amusement park. This is a recurring dream, and I have yet to finished it. Everytime the shark lunges at me I wake up. I once had a teacher tell me I need to see a dream therapist, still haven't gone. Unfortauntly, I want normal dreams. It might help me focus more in other things, if I weren't constantly plagued by the thought that I have abnormal dreams.
