LAST Blog!

Wow so this is my last entry for, Writing 12 Class! I'm graduating!!! I will hopefully still blog if i can remember once i'm in Kamloops. Facebook seems like an easier way to comunicate with friends, there will more than likely be another popular site like facebook, just like Hi5 came and went. Blogging was a good way to get our feelings out about things that bothered us, or just general every day topics, people would comment and either they would be rude or nice, but thats the point i guess of this thing, people get to voice their own opinions on your opinions! I really enjoyed blogging, it was a stress releiver, i was afraid people would judge my thougths and veiws, but then i decided "you know what, WHO CARES what everyone else thinks. Just being yourself made reading other peoples blogs interesting and if someone is going to judge you because of the way you veiw life, the hardships you are going through or the happy experiences you wish to share than they are the ones with the problem not you. This is my final blog...until i start my new life in kamloops then maybe i'll make an update!

This year has been unforgettable!

I love you all

White man, the other side of the story

I just don’t know where to start
I feel sick to my stomach, my emotions churn,
When you say “White Man”; it sets us apart
You tell us stories so we may learn, but

I don’t want to feel this way
I’m a bad person by the colour of my skin
I don’t want to feel this way
I’m a bad person within’

Confused and angered by the tone of the label
White man demeans me, I don’t understand
Why is this process of healing, a process of hurt
Are we not all cut from the same pattern, by the same hand?

I don’t want to feel this way
I’m a bad person by the colour of my skin
I don’t want to feel this way
I’m a bad person within’

Black, white, red, yellow, brown, A world of colours
Yet a tint of pigment is it only, nothing more
Our armour, our shell, beneath which we share
A heartbeat and blood, an identical core

I don’t want to feel this way
I’m a bad person by the colour of my skin
I don’t want to feel this way
I’m a bad person within
I refuse to be ashamed for the sins of my kin

Lets not discriminate and broad on the past
Lets appreciate and focus on the future

It shouldn't end like this...

Mary McArther...your in the hearts of so many, your loss will be felt and wept for and never forgotten. Life isn't fair, and particularly to everyone who knew you...It really makes it hard to beleive theres a god, when he takes away someone so great...RIP Mary...you will be missed
