Somebody explain something to me: why are some disappearances big news and not others? I mean, don't people go missing all the freaking time? But it's only a select few that make big headlines. Usually white girls.

I haven't had a Coke or any other kind of sodamapop in a week. This is a major accomplishment, for I have been regional champ of the World's Coke-Drinkingest Motherfucker competition seven years running. There's a guy from Walla Walla who always takes me down in nationals, but he's cheating. I think he had some kind of operation in order to be able to take in more Coke. Anyway, yeah, I've been drinking a fair amount of coffee and even iced tea, which is quite out of character for me. I am a bit bummed about the whole thing, though--I thought I would have lost a couple of hundred pounds at least by now. By all rights I should be wasting away to nothing, but it ain't happening. Or hell, maybe it is--I don't own a scale, so how would I know? I might be losing bucketfuls of ass and not even know it.

Not that I've ever been anything but svelte, of course.

I actually wrote a lengthy paper on this topic last semester. I should did it out and share some of the interesting factoids with you...

It was pretty obvious stuff, I think...society and the media's impressions about blacks vs. whites, crime, etc...

white women are where white babies come from. we gotta replenish the nation.
(i wish i were kidding, but this is actually taken pretty straight from various extreme-white-supremacist-ultranationalist platforms on the role of women. i guess it's a pretty big leap to assume that our media is run by neofascists. at least i hope it's a big leap. uh... yeah.
