I'd really rather not hate Orson Scott Card, but damn he is becoming quite contemptible in his calls for revolution based on opposition to gay marriage.

The Dark Knight was absolutely amazing. It is such a fucking shame Heath Ledger is dead. He did an amazing job.

Things are better, but a trip to Disney World will do that. It wasn't good for me keeping up with my school work, but I'll live and it was completely worth it.
Magic Kingdom is ok, but as Epcot is my favorite park by far. Call me a nerd. I loved The Land, a ride where they talk about the research into farming they are doing there (ie Tomato Tree that lived for 16 months and bore 32,000 tomatoes or the 9lb lemon!) and research they are funding around the world (salt water farming in desert environments near the coast in the middle east!). I also like eating around the world there.
Got to go with my wife and our girlfriend, so it was an amazingly good time.

*sigh* I hate it when things fall apart.

Summer semester is kicking my ass a little bit. I'm finally in my upper level classes and I'm really having to adjust to a new way of writing. Writing social work papers and article reviews are quite different than history papers, it turns out. Ah well, it isn't too hard, it is just a lot of work, a lot of transition, in a very short amount of time. The good news? July 3rd-August 20something, I am completely free.

Sometimes the ugliness of the world seems to infect me especially when I get down into it to try and help people. Lately I haven't been much of a nice person except to a certain few. At least this semester is over and I pulled a 4.0 out of it.

It is funny, but i think that through volunteering and helping people out, I have become much more...aggressive and violent about people. Specifically people who mistreat others. I support the death penalty for rapists and for child molesters. Sometimes I get SO fucking angry and frustrated, it is hard to hold it in...but the kids I work with make it worthwhile. To see them regaining some sense of normalcy...it means a lot.

I hope I can keep doing this as it is what I want to do with my life, but really it is driving me a little bit nuts.

So evidently McCain's solution to the housing crisis is to meet with the fuckheads who caused it in the first place and see what they want to do about it. He won't play election year politics, he'll just keep things the way they are. His plan is not a plan, it is listening to other people tell him what to do.

Also, I'd really like a president who can speak properly and naturally. At least McCain doesn't need things spelled out phonetically...he just needs a large flat screen monitor and two teleprompters to make it seem more...human.

So evidently all that video was really old and I was only just exposed to it somehow. Early Saturday mornings are not the time to go posting, I suppose.

Last night was a hell of a lot of fun, got a few people together and made dinner, just hung out and talked. Haven't done something simple like that in quite awhile.
