WE CAN PLANT A HOUSE, WE CAN BUILD A TREE

or a cake.

Today I am sore and tired. My father came over yesterday and built a wall for Lindsay's room and we tried to help him out as much as possible. Before she was pretty much sleeping in the kitchen with a chinese curtain diving things. It made it hard for me to get a late night snack or come in late at night w/out waking her up. My dad is a super hero and the wall looks amazing. It's removeable and goes up to the ceiling and in a couple of days we're all getting Divo (digital tivo) set up, so we'll never leave the house. Oh joy.

Things I learned this weekend:

- Always check ID and make sure they're of age.
- Brian is an amazing DJ.
- All the latino boys who live on the LES dress like Kevin Federline. All of them. GIGANTIC WHITE T-SHIRTS.

Divo is the best. Divo makes a great boyfriend. Which is good, because you'll never be going out ever again. Get lots of Sparks and be prepared...

All ugly hipsters are allowed to make sweeping racial generalizations - as long as they keep it ironic. All of them. Sweeping racial generalizations.

there's a difference between racism and logical conclusions based on observations. How's this for ya?

"In the years since 1992, approximately 90% of every male of African-American descent under the age of 30 that I have seen in NJ has been wearing a large white t-shirt."

Hey McDouche! Quit reading this blog. And yes, all the latino boys in my neighborhood dress like that and I am not the only person who will point that out. Obviously you're so insecure... a closeted racist perhaps.

As a Latino from her "neighborhood" who rarely wears white t-shirts, I'd have to say she's dead wrong. The rest of my family can vouche. Shockingly, a lot of my friends break that preconceived mold too! Some of them do rock that thuggish look, sure. Then again, so does every other street-fashioned dude around here. Sorry to throw a wrench in your precious gearbox, but that's the truth. By the way, where'd this talk of "racism" and "racist" labeling come from? That dude up there made a point - Sarah did make a general statement about Latinos around her way - but he didn't call her racist! Actually, the comment made me chuckle a little. God damn people. Ease up and stop freaking out. Palante, siempre palante.

preconcieved notion: All latinos, without meeting each one, wears giant white t-shirt.

Prejudice based on race: See above.

Looks like racism to me, as defined by dictionary.com.

Hardly a case for the international courts, but really, its the insensativity of others beliefs and feelings that's the real issue with the original poster's arguments. I beleive also that his/her mimicry of sarah's statement that also shows that this is to be taken in a humorous light as well. How....ironic.

I'm black, and I can say without question that black guys in Jersey City have been dressing like Kevin since the advent of Dre. And, from what I've seen, Latinos on the LES, (Av C &D) have been dressing like that for some time now. I think sarah's point was that "hip" white kids like Federlane "borrow" minority flavor. Nothing racist about that, just the facts.

OK, but seriously, what's the point of those fucking t-shirts? They go down to your fucking knees and look like a dress. I think some t-shirt making company had an excess of white shirt dresses and decided to market them as t's for the Kevin Federlines of the world. Tomorrow morning i'm taking photos.
