Roseanne

I've been working on my Phnom Penh post for a few days now, but I can't seem to get the words out to complete it. So if anyone is still interested in reading that, I have no idea when it'll get posted.

 I've been watching a lot of Roseanne lately on Youtube and no matter how many times I've seen a certain  episode, it is still funny to me. Too bad a lot of episodes on yt were deleted for copyrigt violations. I would like to own the entire set on dvd if it ever went on sale for like $10 a season. The show is so amaing because it's so real. To make a bad situation funny is always the best way to cope and that's how her family was able to cope with all their misfortunes. I don't really know why I'm talking about a show that ended over 10 years ago. Maybe it's because of Darlene's poem that she wrote in one episode. That poem is about me in so many ways when I was growing up.

To whom it concerns, Darlene's work will be late,

it fell on her pancakes and stuck to her plate...
To whom it concerns, my ma made me write this,
and I'm just her kid, so how could I fight this...
To whom it concerns, I lost my assignment,
maybe I'll get lucky, solitary confinement...
To whom it concerns, Darlene's great with the ball,
but guys don't watch tomboys when they're cruising the hall...
To whom it concerns, I just turned thirteen,
too short to be quarterback, too plain to be queen...
To whom it concerns, I'm not made of steel,
when I get blindsided my pain is quite real...
I don't mean to squawk, but it really burns...
I just thought I'd mention it, to whom it concerns...
