[music |Idiot Son Of An Asshole - George W. Bush]

How many Republicans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Answer : Ten

1. One to deny that the lightbulb needs to be changed.

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the lightbulb needs to be changed.

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the lightbulb.

4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the lightbulb they
are for darkness.

5. One to give a billion dollar no bid contract to Halliburton for a new lightbulb.

6. One to arrange a photographer of Bush dressed as a janitor standing on a step ladder
under a huge banner:' Lightbulb change Accomplished !"

7. One administration insider to resign and write about documenting in detail how
Bush was literally in the dark.

8. One to viciously smear number 7.

9 One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong
lightbulb changing policy all along.

10. And finally one to confuse the American people about the difference between screwing
a lightbulb and screwing the country

Today is my birthday. I'm 22. It's also Ashton Kutcher's birthday. I'm really not sure what to make of that.

Our lovely government [Feb. 1st, 2006|08:20 am]
[mood | crushed]

Cindy Sheehan was arrested yesterday at the State Of The Union address(from which she was invited to by a congresswoman) for wearing a shirt with an anti-war slogan. Let me repeat myself. An American Citizen, was ARRESTED, for words. Ladies and Gentleman, that's the ball game. We now live in a police state. Welcome to China. I never thought this would happen, but I give up. I've lost hope. The fascists have taken over. My 1st response is to flee to Canada, but they just hijacked that country as well. We have some darrrrk times ahead of us, folks. Best just enjoy the ride.

I am very proud of my 15 year old sister right now. I was looking at her myspace profile and i saw that she listed herself as an agnostic. I argue with my sister a lot so I don't really get to talk about deep things with her much. I'm just very glad that my sister is smart enough to question authority. My little sister is a liberal agnostic....just like her big brother! :)

i never update this thing anymore. I just wanted to say HA HA!!! Nobody likes Bush anymore! The country is finally waking up and seeing everything I've known for the past 5 years! I only wish this would have happened about a year earlier.

One thing that really boggles my mind is how ANYBODY can look at Bush and not say "Gee, he's a bad president". Is it because I don't have the religon blinders on me? Is that how I can see the truth?

George W. Bush is, without any doubt in my mind, the worst president we ever have. How can so many people fall for his lies??

Jailbait [Jan. 13th, 2005|10:32 pm]
[mood | okay]

it really really stinks that now that I have the courage to ask out girls, I have to ask myself "i wonder how old she is...will I go to jail if I pursue her?" You know, when I was 17(it was a very bad year), this wouldn't have been a problem. Now I'm damn near 21(3 weeks!) so every pretty girl I see i have to be very careful.

[music |Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends]

I've been inspired. I've been inspired by, not surprisingly, professional wrestling. I was just watching a new DVD i bought about the rise and downfall of a wrestling promotion known as Extreme Championship Wrestling. The former owner of the now defunct promotion, a guy by the name of Paul Heyman, was the one who inspired me. He said "You can not succeed in life if you are afraid of failure." I just kind of sat there in awed silence for about 2 minutes. I though t "Goddamn, he's right!" That is why I have had so many disappointments in my life. That is why I've never had a real girlfriend. That is why I got kicked out of the Air Force. Hell, that's why I gave up learning the guitar. I'm so afraid of failing that I always do. My confidence in myself is so low that I subconciously make myself fail. When i was in the Air Force, I kept thinking that I would get kicked out. I kept worrying about getting kicked out. It was easier for me to imagine a scenario of me getting a discharge than of me having a successful career in the Air Force. Same with college. Both attempts at going to B.C.C. have crashed and burned. Both times, i started to slip up in a class and I started thinking that I was wasting my time. So I just stopped going to class. With girls, it's kind of different. At least with the Air Force and college I tried. With girls I do nothing. I meet a girl that I'm attracted to and I do nothing. Every fucking time, it's the same story. I become attracted to them and I secretly pine for them for months. All the while, the way I act around them makes it damn obvious how I feel and it just makes me look like a chicken-shit.(which I am most of the time with girls) The one time I got the nerve to ask a girl out, she said yes! And then before we even went on oiur 1st date she stopped returing my calls! Whenever I get a girl remotely interested in me, I get so excitred I come on wayyyyyyy too strong. Whn I got set up with that girl last August, the date was fantastic! We were holding hands, and I got a kiss goodnight. Then i go visit her at her place of work unannounced, talk to her for a while and I used the phrase "since we've been going out". I didn't really notice it then conciously but she made a face. Then a couple days later she dumps me by text message. I know I can overcome this extremely low self-esteem cause I got promoted at Publix all on my own. I was a bagger and they made me a stock clerk. Now that's no big deal, I mean I got a 50 cent raise and basically the same hours to do an easier job. But it wouldn't have happened unless I spoke up and asked to be promoted. I went to both stock managers and pestered them. A month to month and a half later I got the promotion. Next school year I plan to go to the Connecticut School Of Broadcasting. It has always been my dream to be a DJ on the radio. I love music. Since I can't play good music myself, I like to play good music by other people for people's enjoyment. What i need to do is have the same determination to become a disc jockey that I did to become a stockboy. Here's hoping.
