Second Thoughts

Maybe V-Day ain't so bad. Maybe it just reminds me of all the painful times I've gone through in the relationships that haven't worked. Maybe it reminds me of my own insecurity and self-doubt. Maybe it makes me think more acutely about the things I believe aren't good about me that need to be changed if I'm going to love again someday. If I'm with someone they understand I love them and appreciate them all the time, not just one day of the year. I would rather focus on the positives and be happy, then focus on the bad and be miserable. I'm having second thoughts about V-Day. Someone is going to know at least one guy in the universe hopes they have a happy V-Day.

I doubt you read my journal or care to respond to me - but I have to ask. How do you know this stuff about multiple dimensions? What is your profession? What makes you think of these things? I think what you're writing is fascinating, whether fact or fiction. What are you reading when it comes to these things? I'm a very curious person.

Rush Lies!

Time for another Rush Limbaugh scandal!

Most of you guys are the artsy/academia type, so I don't know if you care about golf at all...or any other kind of sporting event for that matter....but this week Rush is playing at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Apparently he says he is a 16 handicap (the "average" golfer is a 24) but my brother just wrote to me saying Rush's swing was HIGHLY unathletic. He borrowed from Full Metal Jacket and said "Rush plays golf like old people fuck." People he has been known to play with say, no way is this guy a 16. Knowing this, how can he honestly say he is a 16? I'm picturing this poor bastard getting eaten and spit out by Pebble Beach. The day he is a 16 is the day you guys see me on the Pro Tour.

F Valentine's Day

Just another lame holiday where men are shamed by the ugly corporate world into emptying their bank accounts on jewelry and other crap. Since I technically have never been spoiled on a V-Day like I have spoiled my girlfriends, I'm going to spoil myself big time this year. I deserve it. I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do, though.

Here's yet another question from Jason which probably won't get a serious response: Anybody ever gone on a first date on Valentine's Day?

Yoga, Meditation, Breathing Exercises

With all of the nonsense out of the way I would like to ask you all if anyone is involved with these activities? Anyone want to talk about it? My interest is piqued.

Your analysis of media consolidation is much better than your analysis of our financial situation in New York State (We're in the bottom 3rd of incomes in NYS so we must be doing great). Although I believe that having media outlets owned by fewer and fewer entities is very dangerous, I don't think that any alternative media outlet available today is any more reliable or unbiased. Think about it - media which gives us the facts...all of the facts...and only the facts. Where is it going to come from? Where? Who among you can shed your partisan skin layer and honestly answer this question? I'm looking for an answer too.

Interesting Quote

"To be a man's own fool is bad enough, but the vain man is everybody's."
- William Penn

Tonight I saw a note on a vehicle parked outside of Kuni's which said "Your van is ugly. Please park it some place else. - Kuni's Staff". I thought it was pretty obnoxious so I attached the quote to said note and posted it on Kuni's door. The quote also applies to others here in this very space.

I don't know which is more appropriate - call people silly names, or do a "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." I wonder which has more value to you - the question of lost liberties in and of itself, or the opportunity to spew venom at someone. I really do wonder that sometimes.

Simply put, get over yourself. Do it today. There isn't much you can teach me when it comes to this stuff. I know damn well how innocents have gotten the shaft. I share in the sentiment that this has to stop. I also know damn well that driving up and down Elmwood taking photos of its restaurants and churches is not going to get you in trouble, so it's ridiculous to think that the boogeyman is going to come after you. Don't be silly. Go and take your photos and do the project. I'm sure it will be a good experience. We can take my car if you want. Someone else still has to bring the contraband.

OMFG! Where's the Freedom? *sniffs glue*

John Ashcroft doesn't care if you drive up and down Elmwood taking photos for your project. I'm visualizing you guys driving down the street, heads ducked down low, mumbling to each other about guys in black suits and sunglasses coming out of nowhere to take you to the clink. I think as long as you're not around, oh, say, a nuclear facility or some kind of military base you'll be fine.

In case that's not enough to relieve you all of your uber-paranoia, I'll offer to go with and wear my grandfather's medals. Hell, we can take my car. I'll yell out the window about how we're snapping photos. Nobody's going to care. If anybody gives us any lip I'll go ahead and flash my voter registration card to assert my authority. Someone else has to bring the contraband.

Sith Lord?

A la (e:Terry) - I'm hiding my freshly cut, military style hair.
