"What The Hell Were You Crying For?"
1. I haven't quite processed the Sean Bell verdict. Still, I'm struck by this article in the Times, and this paragraph:
2. Did you know that Israeli settlements pipe untreated sewage into Palestinian refugee camps? I didn't either.
3. Thinking a lot about the food shortage, about the film King Corn, about the Cheese On Bread song Cornfields, Cornfields, and about my slow re-ascent into psuedo-veganism.
4. Angry that Obama is talking about Reverend Wright again. Please, stop it. Please, just shut up. Please, why can't everyone just shut up?
5. I found a mix CD that Max Steele made me in 2006. It's really good. I am really thankful for this music. Special thanks to: The Spinanes, Navy, Helium, Sonic Youth, Anna Oxygen & Broadcast.
6. I found a mix CD that Casey made me in 2006. It's really good. I am really thankful for this music. Special thanks to: Mew, The Evens, Tegan & Sara, Toots & the Maytals, Fugazi & M.I.A.
7. I found a mix CD that Chris Maher made me in 2006. It's really good. I am really thankful for this music. Special thanks to: The Chromatics, The Slits, Dear Nora, Bratmobile, Best Friends Forever & Yoko Ono.
8. Ardi thinks I should be a litigation attorney and he's probably right.
9. Still sort of convinced that love and beauty will always be bourgeois indulgences until widespread institutional suffering is conquered. Still unsure what to do with this hunch.
10. Also convinced that art makes things better.
11. Impatient with art's pace of improvement.
12. Wondering what I would do if I took a year off from my life, and dedicated all of my time to making more concrete, actual change. Wondering what that would look like. What that would be.
13. Half of my life has been after my Bar Mitzvah.
Love

“Some in the media seemed disappointed, they wanted us to play into the hoodlum, thug stereotypes,” Mr. Sharpton said. “We can be angry without being mad.” And while many onlookers shouted their support, others admitted restlessness and a yearning for something more. [italics mine]
