Odd title huh? Well this week in my sociology class, we learned that race is a social creation in the sense that genetically human beings aren't different races, instead we are just different looking. Dont take this idea too seriously, it's just the thought that prejiduce comes from classifying a nationality as different from you and than saying that they are different race.
I just finished watching the move "Gandhi", which was an eye-opener to say the least. It is unbelievable how one ordinary person could change the world by just being himself and standing up for what he believed in wherever he went.
The more I write, the more I show my cards. Shoot! Yes, I watch The Tyra Banks Show. Did I just lose "street cred"?
Confession: I've been less diligent about blogging because I lost hope that I had even the slightest chance of winning the scholarship. And all this time I thought I was above being motivated by money. 
BUT...I'll do my best to get back at it. If I win the scholarship, that would be icing on the cake.
Something goes wrong.
We want to know, whodunnit?
Who is responsible?
Something goes right.
We clamour for credit.
So when will individuals take responsibility for other individuals?
When will communities that really aren't communities, neighborhoods of people who really aren't neighbors, and organizations that are nothing more than organized get a grip and start taking responsibility?
It's going to be at least 40 minutes to get anywhere in metro Atlanta. My parents both have about a 45 minute one-way commute everyday for work. That has become the accepted reality here in the Atlanta area. The vast number of cars is overwhelming!
Somewhere along the way we became thoroughly convinced that our opinions are so important that we should regularly write about them. One of my favorite writers once said that there's a certain arrogance involved in writing. We assume that whatever we write is worth reading. (That was a rough paraphrase that probably didn't do his actual words any justice.).
You can get organic Cheetos now. They've been available for at least a few years. Frito-Lay capitalized on the swelling trend of eating all-natural, organic foods. Of all the fads that come and go, I'd say this one is a good one. I truly believe that eating all-natural, organic food is the way to go. But it's expensive!
