Quote of the Day #8

“…to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.  To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you.  To those who seek peace and security – we support you.  And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope. “

- President-Elect Barack Obama

Sure has a pretty mouth, doesn’t he? Let’s see how long it takes for him to fall in line with the neverending imperialistic actions of presidents past.

California, What Have You Done?

With over 90% of the precints reporting, the California Secretary of State reports that Prop. 8… the measure to ban marraige for same-sex couples… appears to have been passed.

Congratulations California! You just shattered the dreams of over 109,000 gay couples (New York Times estimate as of Oct. 2008). With the divorce rate higher than 50%, it makes me sick that the majority of you would have the audacity to even think you had the right to decide who should be allowed to marry or not.

My Affliction.

Recently I’ve found it hard to ignore the maddening qualities of my enraptured mind. At first I wondered if I was struggling with a form of attention deficit but then quickly ruled that out once I was honest with myself about how I really am and where my insecurities truly lay.

Whether I’m attempting to study, focus on a lecture, listen to music, or even while working out, my mind is constantly and consistently focused on one thing: analyzing in depth any social interactions I’ve had, will have, or might have in the recent past, present, or future. What did she mean when she said this, how did he take it when I said that, what does so-and-so think about what I said then, what will I say if they ask me…

Sigh. This goes on everyday, every night, and is endless. It’s fucking exhausting. Five minutes ago I was attempting to get some much needed study time in when my mind kept wandering off what I was reading to analyzing interactions with some girl I sit next to in class and went out with a couple times. The only thing that broke my thoughts was a text message from, speak of the devil, her.

And so here I find myself… typing, writing, needing to express and vent out the frustration I feel with myself. The need to admit, via my good friend Mr. Internet here, that I not only care what others think…. I’m obsessed with it. Not just what they think about me, but just what they think about anything. Analyzing, analyzing, analyzing. Always trying to find some hidden meaning in the words or actions of others, always trying to read between the lines… whether imaginary or not.

Fuck Me.

A Better Class Of Criminal.

So, recently, two white supremacists were charged with planning to assasinate presidential nominee Barack Obama and while this in itself isn’t really a surprising development, the manner in which they were planning to do it was.

From TimesOnline.co.uk:

The pair planned to drive as fast as they could at the Democratic nominee while wearing white tuxedos and top hats, blasting shotguns at him from the windows, court documents showed.

Shit yes!

It’s about goddamn time someone got creative. If you’re going to do something fucking loony, you might as well do it right. At least, that’s my opinion. Top hats and tuxedos, I can dig it.

Personally, I would’ve wanted a monocle along with a white mustache. Do not pass Go, Do not collect 200 dollars.
