CONSPIRACY THEORY #20050119/20   

i just washed my freakin’ hair this morning and then it had to rain, someone had to cook with garlic and then later i went to visit someone else to give them a phonecard that i picked up and they were grilling meat. now i STINK!

 

arun arun arun. arun is coming in JUNE!!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeEEEEEE! eeheheheheheheheheheheeeeeee!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! i’m so excited. see, there’s always a reason why one should love the summer. cuz good things happen in the summer.

 

i now know how to successfully KILL a discussion. heeheehee… oops. sorry, i don’t understand‘postcolonialism’ like most europeans do because i’m north freakin’ american!  no i did NOT see the sexual abuse of the girl as a metaphor for the ‘rape of the colonial lands.’ in fact, i saw it as a possibility to reinforce the westcentric notion of oppressive east and liberal west. my bad! holyfreakin’shit, me and iliana are in some BIG shit in that class. she’s from mexico, i’m from canada. we’re both from former colonies. i think i need to school these people in north american racial politics where ‘black’ does NOT include south asian people and that I EXIST IN RACIAL POLITICS AS MORE THAN AN ‘ASIAN OTHER’!!!!! that being said, i’m having LOTSA trouble getting through these DENSE readings by bhabha, kapur, mitter etc etc. i wonder if there’s a poco for dummies somewhere… how ironic that would be. i’m not an ‘american exceptionalist’ who thinks that history began in north american when the settlers took over the land and i don’t believe that the settlements created were egalitarian, inclusive, tolerant or diverse. i DO believe that the history of north america IS fundamentally different from europe though. some may argue that the power that the us has over the west is colonial, or what north americans are doing to native peoples is colonialism, but i’d like to think that academics can come up with a better word than colonialism because it’s different. so for me, anything is really poco in the strictly temporal sense that it was made/created after the european colonial period. immediately i think of someone like rudyard kipling when i think of colonialism. mayhaps north americans are ignorant of poco cuz there’s not enough known about the harlem renaissance which had many literary and visual links to colonialism. hrm… i tink i see a term paper coming on!!!!! get it done and over with i say!

 

my bank is only safer than my mattress. i can’t use my bank card anywhere else, but the uk even though there’s an hsbfreakin’c in canada. i can’t use it as a debit card. i accrue NO interest whatsoever in my account. i may as well just keep my money under my mattress. fuckers. so i’m switching to natwest because abbey, lloyds and halifax give me the SAME shitty service. hahahaha, and the people at abbey and lloyds were acting like i’d actually WANT to put my money in their hands. EEEEEEEEEEEJITS I SAY!!!!! at least i’d be able to use my natwest card as a DEBIT card and i get minimal interest, but some nonetheless. what fuckers. yessssss, i am laundering money. this is why i want to open a foreign bank account. i’m not really a stoodent, it’s all a ruse. i’m leally illiterate and stoopid and i not getting’ my ejumacation. if ya don’t know my credit history why can’tcha ask visa? it’s not like i’m not giving out other personal info, jeezy peezy you have to see my freakin’ passport. loooooooooooosers!

 

my mailbox is empty save for those stupid letters telling me that someone is watching tv without a license. well it ain’t ME! i want some mail with substance. most of you have my addy… write me something pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?!?!?!?!?! only stephie and arun lurve me cuz i’ve gotten stuff from them, but that’s it…

Bhabha is tough. the trick is not to read him one sentence at a time--if you try to understand every sentence individually you'll give yourself a massive headache.

read it a paragraph at a time and try to digest it in bigger chunks. the context helps a lot.

you should check out Ien Ang. she writes about her own complex racial/identity politics as a Chinese Indonesian who doesn't speak Chinese, lived for a long time in Holland, and now lives in Australia. See if you can find a copy of "On Not Speaking Chinese."

She's AMAZING. And infinitely more readable than the others.
