Ok, although I'm pretty good (for the most part) when it comes to what the democrats describe as "tolerant", referring to different cultures. I'm a firm believer of having a solid work ethic as well at least appearing as professional as possible within a professional work environment. Ok, so my point here is, what the hell is the story on EBONICS!? Honestly, how can an entire breed of individuals butcher the English language to the extent where it takes a poorly educated white kid to translate it? I realize southern students are born into the deeper states with an educational disadvantage, but at least make an attempt to straighten out your adverbs and pronounce every letter in a word to demonstrate you have at least a general understanding of proper communication. What pisses me off, is that more then half of my company speaks with this drawl, and it forces the minorities to constantly say "What?" "WHAT!?" until it eventually turns into "Wha? Wha?". Then it hit me, laziness is a portion of mis-pronounced words. Pretty soon instead of saying "What?" as I attempt to translate, or "Wha?" it will eventually end up just being a shoulder shrug and a cheap gold chain around my neck. Ok, I'm done ranting, and I'm not racist, I'm discriminatory against the whole concept of ebonics.

Still maintaining a pretty good workout regiment, however I've been so busy getting my stuff together to move to New Hampshire that I have had to cut my daily workouts measurably shorter.
