Add space for sale. This years AAS/ASU graduation committee has opened up add space in this year’s program at a great deal. What is add space you ask? Here are some benefits for placing an add in this years program.
Have a business? What an inexpensive way to advertise to a possible audience of up to 300 people in the Asian American community. Belong to an Asian American organization and are looking to get the word out about issues and events going on in the community. By being part of an Asian American organization can help to get the word out about increasing your organizations membership and to promote your organization issues and events. Last and most importantly if you know anyone graduating with a major in Asian American Studies or a graduating member of Asian Student Union this is your chance to say thank you or congratulations to the class of 2005.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me any questions. You can email me at jwoodard@sfsu.edu. Attached will be a copy of this years add form. Forms can also be picked up in the Ethnic Studies and Psychology building room 103.

the 3 a's
i want to assimilate
i need to aculturate
i wish to amlagamate
for these reasons alone, is where u can find me
i will find me in you.
why is it you, you ask?
why do i dare do these things?
for it is you i take.
for it is in you, you will see me.
for that is the only way you can even come close to believing what is me
too long have you marginalized, generalized and then critized me.
and now this way, i will make you come to realize who iam and what i may be.
see this way its an adaptaion or contraction out of your womb.
for i have been here many years before you just never could understand.
or you never wanted to understand untill i came to pass as a fashion trend.
so this way as i come to get inside of your head, bed, and we wed.
then you see how deep this fashion trend can be.
see when iam up in your face, in your blood and space.
then you may realize the unjust, prejust, and utter rediculous shit you have pulled.
and when that day comes to pass
to put it simple.....i use these words to boot.
aint life a bitch of ironic shit.
so welcome to my life.

so ask me why iam a writing all this. well i have been working on these pieces for awhile. like i cant really write but hey its just food for thought and i want to get it all out before i forget...again. lol. but yah its just writtings, are there feelings attachted... some what... is it aimed at someone....more like something.... but i give you a warning at the end.... dont read the words.....read the feeling......yah i know iam getting all poetic again....holla-brotha biggwould
