Morning Brew: May 8th, 2008

My Facebook profile is so skinny that I wouldn't mind either. It's not really a profile, only has my name. But, my current employer googled me and found my blog. When I went for the interview they already knew I was a knitter, that I liked cooking and that I had posed for one of Rannie's (they saw the pics and all and no, they were not x-rated or anything). I don't write absolutely anything about work, though, so it didn't made much difference.

And, of course, the point of my comment is: don't have anything embarassing/too revealing either on Facebook or on your blog, and you'll be fine. Who cares if someone googles you or sees your profile. hah.

About Afrocentric Schools.
Stupid idea, no reason whatsoever are they thinking about future but moving backwards, nothing but racist, if you would see me right now, im jumping around in temper tantrums and im actually fed up! Hopefully by 2010, the idea will be gone and forgotten. I know in Sweden the government didnt agree to having a Swedish centric school when idea was proposed, just...
God i dont even know what people think like sometimes.

That dump truck protest seems to be something I actually agree with. I respect that they organized it, given notice of times and routes, and picked a time of day that will gain attention yet keeps their impact at a minimum. I hope it works out for them. And of course, assuming their points are true, they seem pretty valid.

As for the segregation schools, why don't the parents involved stop spending their time trying to go backwards and spend that time with their kids. Kids don't just drop out of school because their bored. I'm sure most kids are bored in school. Kids drop out because of social situations and surroundings and upbringing.
