Kristine's blog

put all my blogs in a book, so that I can have a hard copy of my journal for myself?

Any ideas?

OK...

I am writing a paper about the book:

The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother

James McBride

I am writing this paper from the perspective of his search for his identity as a bi-cultural man.  The perspectives that I want to bring in are race and ethnic identity theory, symbolic interactionism and psychosocial development.

For all the people who have read this novel, and I am far into it myself, is there anything you think I should include in the paper that would best capture this book, and its meaning?  I am not looking for you to do this paper for me, but just to talk about what your thoughts were about the content.

Thanks.

OK,

So I need three volunteers from the following groups, to answer some interview questions about the social construction of age.

I need:    
Three teenagers:
Three people in their mid twenties :  Kelly, Caroline
Three people in their forties: Shell,
Three people over 65:

I need you to answer these questions:

1. What is comfortable about your age?
2. What are the pressures associated with your age?
3. Are there things you cannot/can do because of your age?
4. How does age affect the decisions you make?
5. What is good about being your age?
6. What is not good?
7. Anything else you want to share about your age?

Please help me complete this assignment.  Thanks.

My son's preschool is having 100 days of school day.

2 beautiful teacups and saucers, 1 from her grandmother's collection (holy shit)
2 packages of tea, green, chamomile, and another :-)
2 cool cards
1 picture of Miss Shell

Yesterday, I Cried : Celebrating the Lessons of Living and Loving

This is stolen right from Natalie 's blog.  I just could not respond to the post, I had to make a formal declaration on my own blog that Tom Cruise has officially lost his F(Bleep)ing mind. 

Holy shit this guy is completely whacked.  I made it through the whole video, almost, and could not figure out what the hell the guy was going off about. 

Seriously the grandiosity makes me feel that clinically this guy has some sort of mental illness.  Bipolar maybe. WOW!  Here is the link from Natalie's blog.  Tom's blabber  And an extra bonus!
