i'm mad, and here's why.

1. I go to college. The other day in my African Americans & Mass Media Class, I was talking to this chick behind me. We've been havng random on-going conversation for some weeks now about various things. She's a brown girl herself. Senior. English major. Always complains about the lack of intelligent discourse in our class. I say "yeah Sonia Sanchez used to teach such and such class here."
her: "blink blink...who?"
me: *mad*

Can we win at a surface level? Can we win with all they teach us. Do we need more?
All the wrong things.

2. Sony, please stop. When Apple came out with black ipods, no one said anything. Hell, they have black MacBooks now, so you're late. But this is how we're playing now?

Verdict: *mad*

-Transition-
This week's inspiration in Patrice Rushen. Prelusion is some of the prettiest piano-ing i've ever heard. Of course most people only know her for singing..."you reminnnnnnnd meee yeah yeahhh". Little did I know she was a musical genius.

Yes, brown girl secret powers.
