white pride
Perhaps my last entry was too violent towards Facebook, and the ideas behind that particular site. I am starting to see more aboot how it works, the ins and outs so to speak, and I guess it isn't as bad as I once thought. I'm still against it, but I may warm up to it eventually.
Anyways, I've had some issues on the MSN lately, my screen name being "white pride". Of course it's not meant in an offensive way, but people seem to get pissy at every little thing. Five people now have started bitching at me, before blocking me and probably wishing death upon me. These people seem to think that I'm taking after Nazi ideals, or that I suddenly idolize Adolf Hitler, and so on. Like what the fuck? Do people associate being proud of one's heritage and race with being racist or something?
White pride is intended to convey the fact that I'm proud of who I am, and the history behind where I come from. I am very much white, and while I don't necessarily think whites are better or people of other colors are worse, I do tend to lean partially towards who I am. It's not meant as a jab at other races, quite the opposite in fact. I would hope that someone of a different race would be proud of who they are, too. I'd rather see "brown pride" or "black pride" or "miscellaneous pride", because it just means that you're glad to be who you are. That's really important, to accept yourself for who you are.
I don't think white people are automatically better than others just because I'm white myself. If you still think that's the case, then fuck off, I don't need to hear it. If you can accept that I like who I am and where I come from, but that I also respect the fact that everyone comes from a different background, then good for you. Everyone deserves respect for themselves if they agree with who they are, where they come from, and so on.
Now, with the once again unpleasantness behind me, I can get to the various good times lately. If by good I mean stabbings and foot trauma. Last week we did up a drunken night, and at one point little Ryan Schaap ended up stabbing me in the hand twice, during some shenanigans. My hand looked something like this:

He got me once in the finger, and once in my middle knuckle, although that oen was more of a little poke. Still, it hurt like a bitch, and when the video footage is ready, I'll show you the idea we had of cauterizing the wound. That wasn't a particularly good idea, but oh well.
The next week... this past Sunday I guess... I ended up wailing my foot pretty hard into the corner of one of my walls, giving myself what X-rays called 'traumatic tendonitis.' Here's me holding my injured foot right after, featuring Dude Beer:

This also leads into the supposed 'breakfast nook' that Schaap somehow created in my place. This is a wide angle view of it:

And behind where the camera is in that first shot:

There's actually a lot more room around here now that the blue couch has been moved to its current location. It's entirely possible I will keep it this way. But realistically, I have other plans on how I wish to re-arrange things around here. Hopefully I'll get some drunken help.
Finally, we have the mystery picture of the week:

A shiny dollar to the person who comes up with the best explanation of what they think is happening in this shot. Be creative!
