GAH!!!

I just want to be a minimalist

But I have invested too much into dvds, and I can only do my laundry once per week

I am having posting troubles

Ya know, these political "discussions" are becoming more and more boring. Particularly when people come into them with the stance of "I know everything, and anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot."

And the issues being put up are pure crap. New Yorker cover? Obama's former pastor? A houseing deal gone bad?

How much simpler can I put it? I DON'T CARE! These are not issues. You know what are issues?

*Fixing the economy
*Ending the idiocy in Iraq
*Ending genocide in Darfur
*Stopping a food crisis
*Clearing out lobbyist crap
*Finding and supporting non-oil technology
*Making healthcare affordable for everybody. I'd like to see a doctor sometime. I've gone once in the last 10 years, and the Peace Corps picked up the tab for that.
*Fixing education so we don't become the stupidest country in history
*Making equal rights equal for everyone
*Making gay marriage (or whatever name you want) legal

There. Those are issues. Concentrating on the other shit is like a bunch of Jr. High School girls creating a crisis over who has the biggest boobs.

Heard from another agent today. This one asked for 50 pages and a biography.

I don't think I've done enough to warrent a biography.

Kinda sad. It looks like I'm one of a dying breed. Sort of. I'm probably more moderate than I think I am. I just try to be a radical liberal to be cool

I am so fucking sick of this. I write a story today (actually write a fucking story) about how some religious folks are coming around to a logical, progressive way of thinking, and nobody even looks at it.

Some troll writes how his new boner-maker is some asshat in Texas who shoots people in the back, and I get in trouble for flagging him for being an asshole.

Nice. Very nice. And I bet I have 20 people who skip over the part where I apologize to the moderators and jump down my fucking throat.

I think it is time to normalize the responces to certain sorts of posts on the SG boards. Youtube can provide us with many wonderful, and short, responces to show general disdain.

For anyone supporting Ron Paul in a serious manner:



For anyone who does a copy/paste job instead of posting an actual article:



For trolls:



For strawman arguments:



For thread hijackers:



For anyone bringing a dead thread back to the top:


Please use as you see fit

I could have gone to a jazz concert tonight. It is just across the street from my apartment, and free, but then I saw who was walking in the door of the place.

Group 1: WASPy muthafuckas. They want to be New England style WASPs, but don't really know how, so they just go to the closest thing we have to a trendy restaurant (which is also where I go for coffee) and hold these really loud, long, boring conversations, punctuated with frequent cell phone calls. They are known to wait until their call is over before leaving, even if their to-go stuff has been sitting on their table for 5 minutes. I saw a herd of these heading in, so that was my first warning.

Group 2: Dressed up hicks. It's sad when some people think that dressing up consists of putting on their "good" Husker shirt (tucked under a massive beer belly) and slicking down their hair before putting on their "goin to church" cap.

Group 3: Young couples with babies . . . seriously, you really brought your 6 month old to a live jazz concert?

So I stayed in.

I stay in too much. Someone come take me out

I just cut about 20 people from my friends list. They were people I hadn't heard from, or who have left the site. If I cut anyone by accident who I shouldn't have, feel free to refriend me.

I've been advised I need to take a weekend's vacation sometime this summer. I've never just gone somewhere on my own. I'm not sure where I would go or what I would do. This would be much easier if I had a lady to go with. Hotel rooms are more fun as a pair than alone.
