Today I Learned: About Castor Oil

Terry McCall — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 08:34:41 +0000

Today I Learned about Castor Oil, a home remedy that my Dad & his family used a lot as a child. I took as gospel that Castor Oil was quite effective in curing illness, comparable to our modern day panacea of Aspirin. At least, Until this day.

I was listening to an old cassette where I interviewed my father for a Oral History report.
In the stories of his childhood, he’d tell me of the relative wealth his family enjoyed.
After all, he had “food on the table, and medicine for when we were sick”.

I didn’t think twice about one of the aforementioned medicines that would heal the childhood Eugene, helping him along the way to becoming the strong, proud black man that is my father. As an 8th grader still not too familiar with the socioeconomic conditions my father grew up in [[Let Alone My Own]], “Casser Oil” was something that Just Worked.

If it was the first I’d ever saw the beans, I’d try to eat em too. =x

While the beans sure are purdy, when their oil is ingested, what you’d pretty much had taken was a intestine cramping _laxative_. Definitely nothing dangerous—it’s recognized by the FDA—but also definitely not a cure-all. Honh. But—what struck me as most……odd, is the fact that Mussolini used Castor Oil as a intimidating torture device in Facist Italy.

Oh father. =D

2 Down, 1 To Go: SOPA & PIPA’s Big European Uncle

Terry McCall — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:12:12 +0000

This is such bullshit. SOPA, PIPA and ACTA. Why the fuck can’t we put down corporations that think they can fucking control us? Motherfuckers ain’t happy that they make millions of dollars they have to control us and our governments. Somewhere along the line this shit has to stop. We HAVE to put an end to this.

Ennio Morricone — The Trio (Main Title)

I wonder what Blondie, if he were to come to San Francisco in 2011, would say looking at us millennials. Who among us are lost, and who are but merely free from direction?

I cry for the world.
Happiness? Sadness?
Relief? Grief?
I do not know
But these tears I shed
for _us_.

Björk got this house as a present from Iceland for being so dope. I bet they want it back now.
