I'll have to read it again, I kind of just skimmed this time.
Dude, I am so mad. I had this hilarious dream involving you and Erin last night and I woke up laughing, but I didn't have anywhere to write it down and fell back asleep. Then I had an even crazier one after and forgot it :(
hahaha well i called to see if other people have called in about this, so i wasn't crazy. at any rate, it was around 840ish-9? it didn't look like either a plane or a helicopter at all. i wanna know!!!!
well here i am! austin isn't exactly right down the road from houston...but thanks for thinking of me! My other space got jacked by hackers..so i recreated this one but dont use it NEARLY as much. whatchu been up to? hows the writing goin?
Heeey! How's it goin? I'm doin' pretty well, just adjusting to gettin' back into the swing of school. I'm taking a film class that's interesting, though and we started all the way from the first film ever made. I love stuff like that. I'm also taking a painting class which is really fun because the professor is the sweetest old man who just lets you create and be yourself.
I'll be done in May, at least for a little while before I apply to grad schools. How are things on your end??
hey! sorry for the extremely delayed response, i've been totally swamped with life in general...anyway yeah, not gonna lie, it took me a while to sit down and watch BB, but it wound up being an awesome film! i'll definitely get that dvd back to you asap and we'll discuss it then so i don't leave you a novel of a comment lol. thanks for letting me hang onto it for so long, i'm really glad i gave it a chance.
what have you been up to lately? we should all get together soon for a movie or something...i still want to talk to gaby and find out more about everything she was telling me. i forgot what she told me to listen to on itunes, i don't think i wrote it down which was a dumb move on my part.
3 out of my 5 classes this semester are psych so i'm really overloading myself with reading but the weekends are usually good so lets set something up!
So you've never voted before? Every time I vote I see somebody's car or something with some sort of ridiculous anti-abortion bumper sticker, or an SUV with a "9/11 We Will Never Forget" thing, and the only thing I feel is pride - I just cancelled out that motherfucker's vote. In many ways, nothing will make voting feel more insignificant than voting.
Because at the end of the day, it comes down to a simple action of pulling a lever. It has no greater effect on the world, and in our case, the state. Nobody knows who you voted for, and it doesn't reflect on your character. But, as a tax-paying citizen of a country founded on the ideal (yes, ideal) of a citizen-elected government, the importance of the act is committing the act in the first place.
I'm glad to hear you like Obama; he wasn't who I cast my primary vote for, but I like him, and I think that when he gets in, he's going to enact some real change. He won't reform the system, mostly because the current occupants of the White House seem to have done whatever they could to destroy it, but he could point the country in the right direction, because as history has proven, change is an evolutionary process; it doesn't happen with one man, one party, one election; rather, one informs another informs another, and on the wheel turns.
Of course, we have a Vice Presidential candidate who doesn't believe in evolution; she thinks man walked with dinosaurs. If that doesn't get you to pull a lever, I don't know what will.
i agree, people can be much better than they are... its just hard to break bad habits... like it hard for me not to want to control everything, but im doing it on aday by day basis (not that thats the type of betterment you mean- at least i dont think so). i hoping that will be the first steps to getting me to where i need to be to do a real mental overhaul that is LONG overdue... yep
The last part of my previous comment was this: you're a heckler, and the truth of being a heckler is that sooner than later people are going to tell you to shut the fuck up.
Ideals are fantastic, but if you define the choices you make in your life based on an ideal, you will not have a very fulfilling life. And it doesn't seem to be an ethos that extends to other parts of your life, right? You take a chance on a movie, a band, a meal - yet when it comes to the one thing you should be doing, one of the founding principles of this country, you take your ball and go home.
The bottom line is, there is a very strong possibility that in four years, your girlfriend won't be allowed to make choices about her body, when your brothers are ready to enter the workplace the jobs will have moved over seas, and some corporation will be storing your Social Security in the Caymans. One candidate out there has publically admitted to such. Now my candidate, Senator Barack Obama, stands for exactly the opposite.
It's time for a societal wake-up call here. Because anybody aware of what's truly at stake here would put aside petty issues and vote. Because you strive for an ideal, you work towards making it happen - you don't wait for it to come to you.
You know, I should just live as let live, let you go on with your live, etc. etc. But I can't.
Not voting is not voting. It is not a vote. I am not Jewish; therefore, I cannot tell people I am Jewish.
Yes, politicians lie and are corrupt. They make false promises to get what they want. As do teachers, bosses, parents, girlfriends, friends, and homeless people (maybe they weren't in Vietnam after all). I'm sorry that you feel disillusioned, but I'm also happy for you that it's taken you this long to get there. Most people tend to wake up to this fact in middle school, and have stopped complaining about it by their mid-20s.
If you did realize this earlier and are still going at it, then maybe your problem is with life.
But the bottom line here is, this country - and yes, by extension, this world - is at a serious crossroads. A group of politicians, acting as arms of industry in the corporation, is looking to eliminate the middle class, which in turn will facilitate their move to UAE in 10 years. We've had eight years of man who literally feels he's doing God's work fighting extremists and in the process has all but destroyed this country. And now we are at a crossroads, where we can dig ourselves deeper in the hole, or go with somebody who - considering his record, history, and printed policies - is ready to turn things around. To literally move against the infrastructures that have almost broken the back of this country. Not to mention that this year, almost every political ethos has its own candidate, and the Libertarians have a possibly to make a big dent in the election season.
The bottom line is, you're more than entitled to your opinion, no matter how misguided or mistaken it may be (not even counting all of the false assumptions in your initial thesis). You don't want to play the game, and that's fine. You've relegated yourself to the position of heckler: your choice, but one of the ma
I supposed that's where we differ, because I truly don't believe the wolf in sheep's clothing is on the opposing side as the wolf. MY point is, you can't complain if you haven't made an educated choice. Have you done the research on both parties? Have you watched them speak? Do you understand what's going on? You can quote George Carlin all you want, it doesn't make your choice any better. You may not have to choose the lesser of two evils. Regardless, my point is, Angel, that if you don't vote at all, that single vote could truly put HORRIBLE people in power, people that could potentially destroy this economy, environment and security of our people. You may not like the other choice, but you have no right to complain when you had nothing to do with helping keep someone else out of office. I've never voted before. This will indeed be my first time because the state that this country is in now, we're swan diving into a depression, and you're fortunate enough to possibly not feel the effects of it at the moment, but when things get worse, where will you be?
You know, (don't ask me how I ended up with a Christian but) Tony is a Christian, and when I quoted that 75 year old moron to him last night, he said something along the lines of "then why did you ignore the people God sent to save you?" It's like that story about the guy in the flood who tells the people who come to help him that he doesn't need help because God will save him, and then when he dies and asks God why he didn't save him, God's all like "Dude, I sent you two fucking boats and a helicopter, wtf else do you want from me??"
"Now, speaking of blowjobs..." Awesome... although at some times I think you do have to take things too seriously...but not right now, which is why I created these while I was waiting for the video to load:
