What the...
I am super pissed now. I am starting to get sick. I become such a pansy when sick. I can feel it in my ears and throat. My nose is starting to clog. I am so pissed. I thought that I was going to be ok. These last two hours have been crap. I could feel the virus slowly attack my body. My wife was in bed for 2 days. I unfortunatly don't have the luxury of "calling in sick". My co-worker will be gone tomorrow so if I don't show up it will screw everything up here.
My co-worker is under the ideology of you being able to catch colds when you go out in the cold with wet head of hair. Or it just being cold outside will cause a cold. Bullshit! Colds are viruses and you catch them from other sick people, phones, keyboards and anything else that you may come in contact with that was touched by an infected person.
So I am going to get sick here soon and be a big baby about the whole thing. I hate colds more than anything. What is the best way to get rid of a cold? Rest? Feed a cold? Starve a cold? Try to be active? Chicken noodle soup? I am one for resting and feeding a cold. Seems to have worked in the past. I will have to see if this materializes into anything horrible. From the feeling that I'm getting, its going to be pure hell.
I did also wanna give a "shout out" to Smoov my newest (only) blog pal. I had read my huge racist manifesto and saw that my pal made me feel, and possibly look like, a douche. I'm sure that I didn't need her help. I just wanted to say thanks for that one.
I am outta here. I have to finish some work and will be trying to head home. Going to drink lots of orange juice and pop some echinacea. I hope that everyone is better than I right now.

This comment is directed towards Smoov, not the author of this blog.
I hope you realize that I never claimed that individuals of Jewish heritage entail a "race". As a diversity specialist, my clients would hope that I knew the difference between a racial group and an ethnic group. My inclusion of "Jewish" was to identify another population of individuals who have been traditionally marginalized and disenfranchised at some point in recent history. I also included them to illustrate the fact that I was not implicating any particular race (re:White). Individuals of Jewish heritage are largely of caucasoid heritage - this includes both Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews. However, given their history during the past century, namely the Jewish diaspora, I have found, mostly through emperical data (my daily life) that they understand the psychology of racism more intimately than individuals of our society who never had the privilege of being discriminated against. I hope this sheds some light on my decision to include them in my racial dialogue. And please, if you are going to start a dialogue with me, chose a criticism that rises above elementary school yard taunting. At least the author of this blog gave me valid counter arguments. I may not agree with him but I respect him.
