You live, you learn!
My research for the night.
A lethal dose of alcohol is about:
400mg / 100ml blood; a BAC of .4; 7 oz; 17 oz of 80-proof vodka; 10x the effective dose.
A lethal dose of caffeine is about:
10g; ten 10oz espressos; 50 cups of coffee.
A lethal dose of THC is about:
30,000x the effective dose; more than 20lbs of marijuana.
My roommates were bitching about the white man again. Mozart was talking about the "1/8th law" that was "put on the books even after Jim Crow" and is "still on the books." Nygel had never heard of this, but still was talking about how bad the white man is because of it. After awhile, I informed them that it was the 3/5th Compromise; that it was there before Jim Crow; and that it's no more "still on the books" than alcohol prohibition.
My school always talks about being "committed to diversity," which means committed to lowering standards. In comparison to the national population, my school has 60% of the white status quo, and 133% of the black status quo. Hispanics, the largest majority, are represented less than blacks, and the only activity I've seen for them is the "Latin Hip Hop Festival" where hispanics can "come to celebrate [their] roots." What happened to mariachi? My pubic roots are longer than any roots hip-hop claims.
Nikki came to visit today with her mom and Naj. Nikki noted with surprise that there seemed to be no black people around today. Indeed, upon surveying the area, the distribution seemed dramatically changed. Here's the reason: the blacks at my school loiter around all day while the whites are seen in passing, going about their business. The weather today, chilly and windy, forced the blacks to loiter indoors, and both blacks and whites were only seen in passing.
In the mornings, I spend 10 minutes waking up, 10 minutes getting dressed, 10 minutes gathering my shit. Then I leave. (I shower in the evening to wash off the day.) This is about standard for the other white kids I know here, and for Nikki, too. Since I've never had a white roommate, though, I'm also familiar with the black standard: Let the alarm buzz for 5 minutes, hit snooze, let it buzz again 10 minutes later, hit snooze, let it buzz 10 minutes later, turn it off and get up. Turn on the TV to ESPN, and then walk away. Open a number of drawers to look through the contents, and then slam each drawer. Shower for 30 minutes or so. Smear lotion all over for 10 minutes. Comb shaved hair for 5 minutes. After a number of other small things (like selecting $50 hat from a collection of 10, and complementing it with a doo-rag), departure finally arrives. And because I have TWO roommates AND one always has his girlfriend sleep over (I dont mean "usually") with different schedules, there are AT LEAST three hours of the morning, from 7am-10am, that are unsleepable.
