Cry baby- Letting loose from the polite society behavior. Giving into the natural man and doing things that are pleasing to the mind body and soul.

Beep-Beep- The trickster, Wiley Coyote always trying to catch the road runner. Wiley coyote uses all of these extreme measure to try and catch the road runner but he is never able to catch him. The road runner always out smartes the coyote.

Ladies and Gentlemen- About the hipster and how women fit into the role. How men feel threatend by woman fitting into the mans world. Woman doing the work of a man and doing an equal job or sometimes even better.

I decided on these three posts mainly because I actually took the time to think about them, and I was actually really into the subject I was writing about. I enjoy talking about things that either really fascinate me, enrage me, or I am very passionate about. The hipster and how woman fit into that role was probably one of my absolute favorites.

I just still can’t understand how men can do something that is risky and it considered cool and romantic/ mysterious.  While if a woman had done the very same thing it would have been frowned upon. How unfair! Honestly I don’t know what makes men and woman so different.

 Although I am pretty sure that is the same case for everyone. Everyone’s best work is always represented by something that has feeling behind it.

I feel that after this semester my mind has been has been opened. Although I am not going to lie I am to sick of hearing the words, hip, hipster, and hippie. I think I would be just fine not hearing any of those words for a very long time.

 I didn’t realize that this class was going to be covering such a large variety of things. Race, art, music, time, language, just varieties of things I was not expecting from this class.

I really liked that movie that we watched in class Bamboozled, that movie was really intense. I felt really guilty watching it at some points, but I also really couldn’t help laughing at a lot of the stereotypes.

Although I am glad it did. It felt nice to finally be in one of those classes with that sort of indie vibe. Haha if you can even call it that.

I would have to say my performance for this class this semester overall was pretty average, at some points I shined. Although I think I did get lazy and a little too caught up in my other classes. I kept up fairly well in this class though. I want to be an English Major, I want it so bad.

I felt while taking this class that I had finally come to the point in my schooling where I was actually doing something worthwhile for my major.

As a writer, well I have come to know myself as the very ranty writer. I can write forever and ever about something that just pisses me off, or makes me feel intensely. When I have to write about something that has to have a certain structure or has a topic I don’t particularly enjoy I can barely stand it. My papers tend to be weak and stray far from the topic.

Plus I am a huge procrastinator; I will wait until the last minute when I have to write a paper I don’t like, kind of like the one we are writing now. Hah! Sometimes I will try to find an abstract way to write a paper so as to interest myself in the topic in some form. Occasionally I can get away with it, but not always am I so lucky.

If I were to give myself a grade for this class obviously I would be giving myself an A+, duh! Who wouldn’t give themselves a perfect score?  Although, in perfect honesty, I would probably give myself a B-, or a C+.  I think I worked hard; I attended the classes pretty regularly. I did the homework. I made sure to give my opinion in the class. I was also not the person who talked too much, and I was not the one who said things that didn’t relate to the topic. Thank God!

Ladies and Gentlemen

My other once told me that when it came to the body men were the head, while women are the neck. And the neck can turn the head any which place it pleases. I found this rather interesting.

It’s the classic story of men dominating women. A man can do almost anything, like smoke or drink, flirt with ladies like crazy, but if a woman does it is a totally different, she is criticized for doing something that a man can so easily get away with.

It has always been a man’s world and women only seem to be living in it.  We play the role of wives, mothers, daughters, grandmothers. Although if for some reason we decided to do something out of the nor, something that was not allowed to our title, that titled would be completely stripped from us.

We would never get it back; once a title has been stripped from a woman it is final.

Men have always been the bread winners, the dominant figure. The thought of a woman, who for so long has been put into the role of weak, and naïve. Needing men to help us function and survive. How devastating that must be to suddenly be challenged.

A woman in a “man’s world”; it’s almost exciting to see woman become so powerful, and even one up the men. It’s even more exciting when you see the abstract stay at home father. How crazy! A man doing the “woman’s” work”, cooking, cleaning, and caring for the children. All while the wife is off making money.

The woman is now paying the bills and the mortgage, putting food on the table. It may have started as a man’s world, but it seems to be shifting. Giving woman the opportunity to pretty much say Fuck you. Then bust ass and prove what they are worth!

I wasn't able to find the link for the cartoons...where are they so I can write a post?
