Uh-oh. I've spent my day watching movies, instead of unpacking as I should be doing. The reason I say, uh-oh, is that oftentimes, moving watching for me becomes introspection time. Being that the movies I've watched today are High Fidelity and Moulin Rouge, that's just even more likely.

So, instead of going on and on about my insights, I'll just ask a question that I...

Love makes us do silly things. I hope you find the peace that you are looking for. On another note I thought you might appreciate this.

Dear Red States...

We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and
we're taking the other Blue States with us.

In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We
believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially
to the people of the new country of New California.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.
We get stem cell research and the best beaches.

We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood.
We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.
We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You
get Alabama.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states
pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the
Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a
bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and
anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at
once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have
kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no
purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their
children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and
hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our
resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent
of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple
and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of
America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners)
90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most
of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and
condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale,
Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88
percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care
costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the
tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern
Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh,
Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was
actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred
unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say
that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved
in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you are people
with higher morals then we lefties.

By the way, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt
weed they grow in Mexico.

Peace out,
Blue States

The move is complete. I've boxes and shit everywhere, but it's done. So, I went to a movie instead of unpacking, because that's the way I roll. I am also entirely too white to use phrases like "that's the way I roll". I need a haircut. This is the worst written entry of my entire life and I don't much care. I'm tired. Physically, emotionally,...

Ok, so I'm feeling very unloved at the moment, so don't mind the rampant insecurity and self-pity of the following few moments.

The 4 people that I consider to be my friends at my job, my future roommate included, are currently out having a beer. I do not know this because they, in a friendly way, said "Hey, Tanner, come have a beer with us."...

Thanks man!

That really sucks about your work friends. But on the other hand, it could actually be innocent; people do that all the time where they tell themselves they aren't going to fuck off, but wind up fucking off anyway.

Well I still love you - and I think they are assholes. Haha. You could always get a new roomie....

This has been both the craziest, worst week ever and, in ways, a damn good week. As I have stated before, I'm going back to school in less than a month. Whoohoo. However, on Monday, I was informed that I would not be able to get any money for school until the nice people of the financial aid office made me jump through a bunch...

I'm sitting here hating my job, hating the fact that my boss is forcing me to work overtime, and pretty much hating everything in my life for the majority of the day. So I come home and I find that my cat seems to have hurt her foot. She will barely put any weight on it, but she seems to be putting more on it...

My previous journal may seem random but it comes on the heels of about a 30 minute rant by me to friends about how much lying was going to be done in the speech last night. I have nothing else to say, but I thought I'd explain that a little better so that I don't seem quite as completely insane as it made me sound.
devil_bitch:
The lying is always expected. Even with the Democrats but with Dubya it's a given. I like to watch and see how many stupid things he can say in a 40 minute address. It's sad and entertaining all at the same time.

Speaking of sadness how do you feel about Jeb running for President? I realize that I just set myself up. But I still want to know. tongue
devil_bitch:
You really think McCain is going to run again?

Eh...well I would take McCain over Jeb. I know that the Democrats don't stand a chance. I want John Edwards to run again but if Hilary runs she is getting my vote. She would never get elected but it would be a great step for women in politics. Better than Condi.

I think that everybody who knows me probably sees an odd, lonely guy who watches way too many movies and is entirely too passionate about politics, which I can't figure out if it's a bad thing or not.

I think you will always be a mystery to me....

I have odd fears. Now, I'm not saying that I'm batshit crazy paranoid, but you might after I explain them. Don't get me wrong. I know that everybody suffers from phobias, but certain phobias of mine are quite possibly insane. Just to show that I'm not lying I'll give you a quick list of my major fears, starting with the common ones.

I'm scared of...

I actually have tons to say but nothing that I can't coherently put down in words. But I'm at least going to try for a moment, so bear with me.

I love my life. Seriously, I don't think I could have a better life. Sure I'm about 20 pounds heavier than I want to be, but I'm working on that. My cholesterol is about 40...

I saw Batman Begins today. Wow, I loved it. It's dark and gritty and very grounded in the comic. I'm a huge comic book nerd. I have no shame about it. I've seen damn near every comic book movie released in my lifetime. I saw the shitty ass Captain America movie, I saw both Punishers. I mean, I've suffered. One brief note before I talk...

Nice. All I'm hearing are good things about this movie. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. It's a rare comic-book movie that doesn't piss off all the comic book fans.
