In Class: homegirl

I wish I could tell you my favorite part of homegirl. There were so many good parts to it. Hmmm... to think of one specific moment that really stuck out to me is very hard. Ok, so maybe I didn't read it because I didn't realize that an assignment was due today. That's ok though. I'll do it tonight as many students are. So I think I'll just talk about my day today. I'm very tired. I went to bed at 11:30 but didn't go to sleep until 2:00. What's up with that. Had I known of it, it would have been good time to complete my assignment.

In Class: Pictures

I think that this image shows amazing simplicity. I feel quite at peace when seeing this picture. This picture comes from a time of racial oppression, but that isn't the meaning of the picture. It's seemingly a snapshot out of an ordinary day with two friends. Times are SIMPLE. They have a job that makes enough money for what they need, and that's good enough for them.

This photo tells the story of the common African-American life in the 50s. It was a side of America that people don't usually see. It was a time when music legends, such as Muddy Waters and B.B. King, started to rise out of the pulp. All African-Americans were together in the world. By heart, they were all connected. A true society of friends.

The color of this image gave me the feeling of age. Age in a vintage sort of sense.this photo is not black and white out of choice, it's black and white because of time period.

My eyes are first drawn to the smiles on the men's faces. Come on baby, let the good times roll. Come on baby, let me soothe your soul. Come on baby let the good times roll; roll all night long.

I think it's trying to make me feel the way I just explained in the earlier paragraphs.

Authority number one has to do with my step-father, who taught me how to seal grot. Shortly after that, he asked me to seal all of the grout in our new house. Authority number three has to do with Master Kurban. He taught me defense against the blade. Authority number four has to do with my old theatre director Michael newberry, who taught me this technique. Ok, I'm sick of talking about these things now.
The person I really want to interview is my father. I want to interview him over the civil rights movement. In 1960 he would have been 20, so he was the age to be right in the thick of things. The movement in Texas is something very rarely talked about and something my father never talks about. My father has always been a good storyteller, so I believe that this ought to be good. The only thing he's ever said remotely close to the subject is, "Son, I grew up in a time where you either had to be a fast runner or a good fighter." Sounds promising.

In Class: Man in the ______

Essay 2. Oh glorious essay 2. I feel a little less confident about this essay then I did about the first. I find it hard to incorporate direct quotes from the sources while still holding true to the style of the essay. I like my essay, or at least what I have written. I have yet to read completely through it.
That's about all I have to say about that... yup. I'm having a very tiresome week already and it's only tuesday. I'm mainly just tired. I wonder if a nap class is offered. How to Nap: 101. That'd be rich. It should be the one class that takes care of all of our core requirements. Thus, we wouldn't have to take any core classes. We could spend all of college focusing on our majors.
