Sick and miserable, but god damn its a beautiful day.

Went to the protests in DC, knowing that it would be futile, knowing that Bush would make his final push for war today.
Here and there communists were trying to divert the protests to their way of thinking, inserting the chant "Same enemy, Same fight; Workers of the world unite" into the usual "hey hey...

On a good note, I just discovered that the state of NJ doesnt require you to be qualified in any way whatsoever to perform a wedding. All you have to do is sign the marriage...

ah, I remember playing that game w/ my car, turned out to be the thermostat and that the hose that connects the radiator with the overflow tank had fallen out. I discovered it while driving in San Francisco with my friends, fortunately one of them fixed it with duct tape and a Bic pen.

Sitting in the Waiting room I read the Times. Bush is reserving the right to launch a preemptive strike on North Korea to prevent them from getting Nukes.
He still has faith in a diplomatic solution. Although, since there isnt any actual diplomacy going on, thats going to be rather difficult.
So, Im thinking its going to be war on two...

Moving to Jersey City. My aunt gave me an old bed that she was throwing out, including the pink sheets with sheep all over them.

Whenever I move out of a place I always have the urge to set it on fire on my way out. I wish i could get to the point in my life where I could pack up everything that i...

I had the same feeling when I moved out of my parents house to go to college here in SC (both times!). But yeah, parents aren't usually cool with that, especially when you wanna burn all the fingerpaintings from kindergarten and all the other stuff with "sentimental value".

BTW, who's that in the pic?
eris:
i've used acupunture for other stuff, i don't see why i wouldn't use it for my damn carpals.

but when i left for hawaii i did pretty much just what you want to do... sold my stuff, and packed a suitcase. it was liberating. i think every so often a cleansing needs to happen...

So, Im on unemployment.

Its a lot better than being plain unemployed.

I fought it for a while, even as all my friends started going on the dole. I wasnt into it for the money, and I was afraid getting paid not to work would ruin the quality of my slack. I wasnt going to sell out.

But ever since I went on the dole,...

Went to see hunter s thompson, but there were 300+ people lined up to get their books signed, and he was late.

At first I was just worried about what to say to the man. "Im your biggest fan," or "Youre the motherfucker" just dont seem like they'd make much of an impression on him.

Ive always suspected that a 5 minute conversation with him...

you'd prolly of gotten more props if you'd taken 18 shots of whiskey knocked him over the head with a golf club on his way out, kidnapped him and taken him to your secret arsenal bunker high in the hills...

but going drinking was probably a fitting tribute nonetheless.

I quit.

I give up.

Ive spent the past two years a television junkie, binging for days on 24/7 news channels, desperately trying to make some sense out of what anybody was saying. Today I saw something that proved to me that Im just not up for the task.
Im going to put away my philosophy, anthropology and poli sci books, and go dig into...
