Andy’s Woody is an Organizer

Andy’s Woody is an Organizer

I am not too sure how long this plane ride is going to be. I am scheduled to land in South Africa sometime Thursday evening. From my limited research and understanding, evening is morning in Los Angeles.

I’m a little frustrated/annoyed that South African Airlines does not have wireless/internet access. But I can’t be too picky, I suppose. I’ve watched a total of three movies: Toys Story 3, Coach Carter, and Dream Girls.

I thought I was going to freak the hell out because there was a couple with a small baby next to us. I was afraid the baby was going to be screaming and crying throughout the entire trip, but to my blessed surprise, I feel like I have been more annoying than the baby.

There is also a group of students from St. Mark Schools from Texas. From my stalking and eavesdropping skills, they are going on a Choir Tour throughout South Africa. Can someone talk about privilege? ‘Cuz I can, but I came here to learn….not necessarily argue with every person I know.

Which reminds me, as I was watching Toy Story 3….I realized something. Woody is a community organizer! He organized his friends in order to escape the evil wrath of the purple strawberry-smelling bear. Maybe we can learn something from Disney’s Pixar.

Something I also noted in Coach Carter is the demonization of the black woman. The movie was portraying the womyn as the reason why the men were not allowed to succeed. The character Ashanti was playing was preventing her boyfriend from going to college because she was determined on keeping the baby. The principal, with her deficit thinking, was also preventing the basketball players from attending higher education.

Finally, I don’t know what I was thinking while watching Dream Girls. My head was hurting, and I was just watching it to kill as much time as possible. Anyone want to inspire me and tell me something more enlighting about the movie. I want to read about it on Wikipedia but theres no access to the internet.
