National Holiday, My Ass.

18 01 2010

I feel like I’m really inadvertently disrespecting MLK today.
And it’s like, HIS DAY.
So, today is the worst day to be disrespectin’, even if it’s not my fault.
Because it’s not!
You guys know if I had a choice in the matter, I would not be at work.
Because I know MLK really wants me to be enjoying my freedom.
Which, I mean, I basically always had being a white girl.
BUT STILL!
He wasn’t like prejudice like that. He wanted equality for all and I mean, I feel like I’m being treated totally not equal right now since like half the universe gets today off (meaning all US government agencies and lucky bastards) and I don’t. Seriously that is like the definition of “not equal”. Why aren’t I given the right to stay in bed and smoke blunts and watch Barbershop 2 and all nine of the Fridays today? I don’t get it.

LE SIGH GUYZ.

The point is, while I’m stuck in my horrible office with my brand new Mac and all this free Pelligrino and coffee like, doing shit on the internet, I just wanted to pay my respects to a really great man who really did a lot for this country. He was like the first dude on the ‘Hope & Dreamz’ train you know? Obama took a page from this homie’s book for sure. I mean, I took a page from this guy’s book when I was like “I’m gonna be true to myself just like all the greats that proceeded me” in my ‘artist profile’ in the previous post.

Not saying I’m like comparable to MLK.
NO WAY JOSé!
I’m just saying, he’s an inspiration to everyone.
Everyday.
And that’s why I guess it’s okay I’m working today.
Doesn’t mean I can’t watch Soul Plane tonight.

No, really, all jokes aside.
HE WAS THE JAM YA’ALLZ!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (3 days ago [oopz]) MLK!
Thanks for fighting for the God given freedoms and equality our government is so hypocritical not to recognize is for everyone in this country, even today. :(
