What is the most interesting class you have ever taken?
Submitted by Melissa.
The most interesting class I've ever taken is actually was my 6th grade class. It was more about the instructor than anything (as is expected at that level). This was the first time in an educational setting in which the instructor told stories outside of the the lesson's setting. It was the stories of Vietnam training and the jokes with the adjacent instructor that made the monotony of each day, at minimum, tolerable, and at best quite interesting.

To Whom still has life,
I mustn't know what you will do to me if I shall not and cannot be with my children. It is painstakingly rude and crude to be laughed at, time and time again. You will not rape me in the press and chide to my friends in private that I am not a fit person. It is with a emotionless heart and an even more concrete mind that I write this to you so that I may be free and rid of this burdensome weight upon my shoulders. It is not even without regret that I shall end my life 2 years hence. You think you are funny and lude with descriptions of what the crime scene may look like.
** The candle la-bra will be beside my head and the curtains drawn as the light shown in upon my lifeless corpse. Glass broken on the floor around my feet will denote struggle, but in the end my killer shall go free. This is what I believe will happen when you come upon me.**
"Was it murder?", some will ask. Who knows because you will not even leave your home long enough even to answer simple questions. What is it about you that cries out heresy? Nothing I suppose will suffice, will it?
I don't know what to do now or, rather, if I should do anything at all. I am dead you see and will never contemplate such thoughts again. You are a whore and a trollop and need to hurt in the same manner that you are hurting me from not beyond the confines of your home. You are a whore! a whore! I will not allow you to sully my good name for your own amusement. You will be dead soon just like me and you will know the true pain when it becomes eternal.
What is life like now? It is existent-less and boorish.

I just believe in the one who can love the light at the end of the tunnel. Can you believe how much money he made? after he dropped his drawers? One can never underestimate the monetary value of shedding one's clothes. It's cool though right, because if you could make as much money as he does, you'd do it too! Don't lie! You would surely do it and not even think twice. Sex is the underpinning of society. So much of our actions are dealing with sexuality directly or indirectly somehow... some way. There is nothing wrong with sex in any fashion so long as it's consensual. A country with a puritanical foundation is always so quick to cover up what "they" deem as smut or "indecent".
Sex is natural and why should a so-called civilized society do things behind closed doors as if it's bad. Let them lick, suck, fondle and fuck their way to bliss.

People don't know what to think when they see me. Am I a terrorist? Will he rape me? Is he going to wear those shoes with those pants? Maybe they think all three at once. I can't much concern myself with what others think. I am my own person and do as I please. Sitting here rolling a joint and making sure that it is rolled to perfection is my mission. Do I smell of 5 day stale clothing, perhaps, but I have been on such a bender I can't really be sure. The relaxing intoxication of that first puff is always tip top. The way the end glows red with it's cherry and the goddess wrapped in smoke eases my muscles and my stress. Things become so much clearer than one would first think. Pot is different then those 'other' drugs. Not that those other drugs don't have their positive points... Some good weed and some good friends can always be sure to lead one to solving the worlds problems or pontificating on the great thinkers of the past and present. The communal aspect of some good smoke can also leave us exposed to that notion people are too quick to stamp out... love.
People are now staring at me, who the fuck to do they think they are staring at? I could be the next President and wish not to be judged on appearance. People do that so much it makes me sick to my stomach, thankfully the pot has that anti-naseau effect. Do I have a home you ask? Yeah I say, Terminal B6 is where I lay my head right now. I love life you see and all the intricacies it holds. Why not man! It's all part of the journey.
Well my old lady is here and it's time to experience more things upon that great road some of us call life. Take a tab of this and relax buddy, let it breathe over you. Take things moment by moment.
