I canNOT write a personal essay.

I am TIRED of this city.

Today in class, a student dismissed Cesaire's Discourse on Colonialism because it was "too angry." What nonsense!! There is much to rage about in this world and it was so very refreshing to read a text that is not intellectualacademicbullshitbabble. Why aren't we more angry?! !?!

Conversely, the Valentine's Day edition of This American Life is something that everybody should hear.
