I was gonna write about the Oregon election stuff, but I'm afraid to now. I'd probably just look stupid. Suffice to say, I'm torn on some ballot measures between my youthful idealism and my allegiance with conservative types that govt. programs, spending, and involvement usually don't add up to helping anything. My basic attitude about how the world works right now is 1) big businesses primarily care about making money, and things like employee wages and health care and the environment don't matter, usually, 2) the government (including both major US parties) cares about making big businesses happy; they are, after all, the ones who fund the parties, 3) people love war; all these different people in different countries with wildly disparate cultures and virtually identical religions (despite their prejudices and protestations to the contrary) just looooovvvve looooovvvve going to war.
You could say I feel cynical.
Nobody said a peep about my ridiculous Ryan Phillipe (or "Phillippe") musings, last blog. Fair enough. They were mostly for weird-humor effect, and I suppose it could bring up scary visuals... but you weren't supposed to picture me being all sexed up. I admit, that's scary. It was Ryan that you were supposed to picture nakey. So that's not so scary, right?
I finally got an iPod. 21st century, here I come.
I think I have a cold. The true Oregon weather is out, but I can't complain. it's not like it rained all summer, or much in October.
I have been musing a Member Name change. I dunno if, in almost 4 years, I've ever used anything other than "Cheech." I might've put "loserCheech" some time when I felt utterly maudlin, but I can't remember. Anyway, I was thinking of calling myself CoachBelichick. This would be a sort of positive thing- me identifying with a winner, a true star, the man whom Jim Rome refers to simply as "Hooded Sweatshirt." At events, you could refer to me as my actual name, or "Coach." I have smoked more pot this year than any in my life, but I still don't consider myself a pot smoker, so I still feel a bit odd about the "Cheech" name, that it might give people the wrong idea. (On the other hand, what is "the right idea"??)(btw, I know Bristow won't like this name already.)
Anyway, I don't feel so bad. That's just what's goin on now. I hope to go to BORAT with bankerboy.

I'm pretty ambivalent about this year's election, too. Nothing's getting me motivated and nothing's making me feel like my vote would even matter this time around. meh.... Call me a bad citizen, I guess.
