Last night, David and I drug out all of our old yearbooks from high school and grade school. We were both curious to see who the other had crushes on, or hung out with, or just hated with a passion. LOL David also wanted to disprove that he's mostly interested in blonde chicks. I must not have been convinced, because I had a dream right before I woke up this morning that he left to go hang out with some pretty blonde who works at See's. He told me it was refreshing to meet a girl who called him by his real name for a change (Um, I'm the only person not in his family who actually calls him by his "real" name!). I started crying, but it didn't keep him from leaving.. sigh.

Just before we dove into the past, we were surfing channels. You know how there's a city hall channel (?).. well, there were just some odd people on there speaking about whatever they wanted to have happen in Columbus. One man thought that all funding for homosexuals should go to people who really deserve it, like the regular Joe (meaning him) who can't get proper health care. Um, k. Then there was some Black guy who was pissed that Columbus doesn't have any "Black" stores, or "Black" gas stations or "Black" movie theatres. WTF? Apparently this guy likes the idea of segregation? And what exactly is he implying? That there are "white" stores around here? Uh, no.. because that's illegal. He claimed that the reason why it flabbergasted him that these places didn't exist is because Columbus is supposedly one of the best cities in the nation for Black people. So? What does that have to do with anything? Why should that set back the clock and encourage more of that "seperate but equal" bullshit? I'm sure not all Black people think that way.. who knows what this guy's true agenda was. It was just highly irritating to hear him speak.
