Namean?

I've been pretty busy lately with substitute teaching and recently picked up a job at Barnes & Nobles, and since neither job consists of me sitting in front of a computer all day doing nothing, I haven't really had the opportunity or drive to really update this blog. There's something about getting paid to blog at an office job that pushed me to update this as often as possible, but since I ain't cheatin the system and gettin fetti while I post, the amount of energy that I set aside to post up on here has decreased. Aight, thats enough of that self indulgent ranting, so on to some important ish...

Filipino Vets vs. Arnold:

Filipino veterans in Los Angeles launched on October 3 their campaign to overcome California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's veto of Assembly Bill 15 (AB 15) that would "encourage" California high school teachers to include in their social studies lessons the sacrifices of the Filipino People and veterans in WWII .

Rallies are planned for October 20 in San Diego, L.A., San Francisco and Sacramento to convince Schwarzenegger to issue a proclamation in support of A.B. 15 and to recognize the contributions of the Filipino People.

In August, their bipartisan bill overwhelmingly passed in the State Senate 31 to 1 and in the Assembly 61 to 13.

I'll have some updates on times and places when I get more info.
