getting on this 'last ten updates' list is so much better than the star method. so gratifying.. plus all of the sudden there are all these easter eggs to find.

we are degrassi'd out. this doesn't feel like a sunday, i don't have the usual sunday butterflies feeling of going back to school the next day. not that school has been a factor as of late but.

my friend k wouldnt notice that someone liked him even if they were humping his leg. this is by no means any invitation for you to hump his leg tho.

we re gna stay up all night now. while the rest of you are passed out drunk from today. ours is just beginning.

put my blues away
ah, relief

i was suffering all day for lack of lip balm. it was a rough time, 5 hours of withdrawal. it will take months for my lips to learn to rehydrate themselves again, for the year(s) of lip balm addiction theyve gone through.

amy mentioned this monday but i heard today

so howard stern has been cancelled in many a swing state by the parent owner of the stations he's on-- clear channel-- because he made some critical comments about the administration and how bush needs to be removed from office. happens that the ceo of clear channel, lowry mays, is friends of bush sr and bush jr. (http://archive.salon.com/news/feature/2004/03/04/stern/index_np.html) (you need a pass or subscription to read)

clear channel owns everything from radio stations (a lot of them) to concert arenas to promotion companies (bringing the very bands that america loves to your hometown) to billboards. and this besides the deregulation/ monopoly stuff..scary.

criminalizing the voices of dissent
last november people showed up in miami for the ftaa gatherings because they believe food should be gmo-free, wage rates should be living wages, health care should not be a money game, and water should not be sold for profit.
they didn't want the race to the bottom that will inevitably come with the ftaa trade agreement.

what they found was thousands of police, (and to me, this is the kicker:) paid for by $8.5 million from the $87 billion Congress approved for spending in Iraq. every single person i know who went to miami came back traumatized by what they saw, a total show of force on the part of the government and the fortune 500 companies supporting the ftaa trade agreement. no one was safe: union folks, senior citizens, students, black bloc kids, journalists. if you were there => you were considered a terrorist.

what is really at stake here? money money money

NOW with Bill Moyers featured what took place in Miami in this segment: Criminalizing Dissent? (http://www.pbs.org/now/thisweek/index_022704.html#)

(the footage of the police shooting at the journalists and media is pretty terrible..)

how ya doin, yo
subtitled: balancing the act between technology and life

nice dream

the other night i had a dream about an ipod. this was right after i was looking at nick's journal before i fell asleep. and then last night ko had a dream about 3 ipods. i don't think his dream was related to nick's post, but it's funny how it reached my subconscious. haha, this is why i need to quit this for a little while..

how much are you like what you say (write)

i am working on a feedback piece, i havent forgotten. what a perfectionist.

i like to ponder how our respective personalities come through in this forum, and how the things we say or don't say say a whole lot about us.

does anyone relate to any of this?

have you ever had a dream somehow entangled with something on this site? i bet paul dreams about the site that one hour of the night that he sleeps ;) i find myself a little bit addicted (ok, maybe it's more like a lot) to this site; are you addicted? do you look more than you write? feel free to make me feel loved and email.
