Still hating snow.
I have been fighting bad habits lately, not for any aesthetic reasons, but because I would rather not die of a heart attack at 45. Has not been easy, but somehow I've managed to distract myself and avoid that late night snack. Some bad habits were there when I was younger and needed coping mechanisms to keep from going crazy (crazier).
Northern Illinois University was the first college to send me an acceptance letter, way back in 1987. Not more than a week after that, there were reports about racial epithets being scrawled on dorm doors and other problems with racism. My enthusiasm about the school waned, to say the least. I often wish I had changed my mind and gone, as I never got to experience the "going to college away from my family" bit until I was out on my own as a starving student in my twenties.
These tragedies just naturally make me sad, but they also activate my morbid impulses and cause me to dwell on similar events, like the guy in Texas back in 1966 who turned out to have a brain tumor, or the Kent State shootings, which were referenced on Law & Order a few nights ago. What causes human beings to be so unbelievably callous and cruel to each other? Why do so many people look to shooting people then offing themselves as some sort of validation?
More and more I understand why I don't like most people very much.
I am also tired of the fearmongering going on in regards to terrorism. I'm not voting for anyone who uses the words "the terrorists will win," or "leaving Americans defenseless" or "leading our country during a dangerous hour." Go to hell. We're in a war because of a fucking moron, and signing onto it in order to become president just means you're a fucking moron,

America's biggest threat is our lack of a Gun Controle policy.
Not terrorist who would fight among themselves if not for us uniting them.
I think his case was being off some meds. and with the people I work with I'd have to say that most of this stuff happens due to mental disorders.
