Sleep? Who needs it!

Someday I'll learn. Someday this will all come back to me, and I'll be old before I'm 30. By then I'll be ready for the nursing home and a colostomy bag.

I've been staying out all night and into the morning lately, even though I know I have to get up early for school or work. My dad has tried in vain to talk some sense into me, but I never listen. I don't get home until after 2 AM and then I get up <6 hours later for my job in a university computer lab (where I'm typing this update). Pretty soon I'm gonna be hallucinating dead babies and shit. Actually, I already do that anyway.

I'm so fucking bored here at work. I just stare at the walls until it's time to go home. I always wanted a job where I didn't have to do anything, so I'm not gonna bitch too much. I guess I'll never have another job like this again, especially since I'm gonna be an accountant. There's no question that they'll give me plenty of work. :(

Oh yeah, that's another thing. Here I am, a college senior, and I still don't have an internship, nor have I even interviewed for one yet. My dad's friend really worked to try to get me a lead as an intern in the IRS, and what did I do? That's right, I fucking sat on my ass and never followed through on it. I'm such a fucking baby. One of these days maybe I'll grow the hell up and act like an adult for once. That IRS internship would have been really nice too, because it was a guaranteed full-time job once I graduated. There might still be time, to call them back, but I just don't know.

I'm taking my girlfriend down to San Antonio sometime in July, so I guess I have that to look forward to. Otherwise, I'm just working and going to school this summer.

We're going to downtown Dallas tonight, over to the West End, a shopping/entertainment district. A lot of shootings happen there, so I guess we'll need to be damn fucking careful where we walk around.

That's enough for today I think. I'm gonna go back to staring at the clock now.

Moof!

Moof! The sound a dog/cow hybrid makes!.

I've been in Seattle for the past 10 days, visiting my mother. I'm going back to Texas on the 29th and will be starting summer school two days after that. Not much of a summer this year.

Been talking a lot to my girlfriend, and can't wait to see her again when I get back into town. I think there might be something there, between us.

Granddad's in the hospital again, with leukemia. I guess it's just wait and see at this point. We don'tknow if he can recover from this or not. :(

Well I guess that's all for right now. Take care.

Guns and girls

This is going to make me sound like a stupid teenager, but that's what Livejournal is all about. I've been talking to this girl in one of my ECON classes, and we've been getting along together pretty well, always chatting it up. I asked her to lunch the other day, and she turned me down. She had stayed up all night studying for the postal entrance exam, and so she wasn't feeling good. So I guess I picked a bad day to ask her out, or maybe she just wasn't interested.

I'm gonna try talking with her some more on Monday, and if she's as flirty as ever, I'll take that as an encouragement. If she clams up, then I'll know I screwed up asking her out, and she was never interested in me at all, past being friends.

I really enjoy talking with her, and she's pretty cute. I guess I shouldn't get discouraged at this point. We'll see how it goes.

Also, I went to the gun range on Friday to test out the .45 pistol my dad bought me for my birthday. It took me about 10 minutes to get used to it, and after that I was doing pretty well. I'm still kind of nervous around loud noises, so I flinch when I fire the gun, and that kind of throws my aim off. It's something that I'll only get past with practice. I'm just gonna have to force myself to take the gun out and get used to shooting it.

I learned how to disassemble it, clean it, and then put it back together again as well. It's a nice gun, so I'm gonna have to try to take care of it as best I can.

someone's posting earwax!!!

Dude, I think it's me!!!

Time for a new strategy!

Ok, here's why Kerry lost the election:

He was trying to intelligently communicate with ignorant people. He talked over their heads and they simply could not follow his arguments. In his speeches, he would logically and rationally examine every side of an issue. He might say something like

"On Issue _______, I take side "A" if condition "X" occurs. But when condition "B" occurs, it's more logical to take the side of position "B",

Now, this is an intelligent way to look at an issue, because it weighs both sides of an issue, instead of having a simple, black and white view of it. But people just couldn't understand this, and the right-wing pundits jumped on him for it, calling him a "flip-flopper".

In contrast, Bush took a much more firm and solid outlook on issues. Unlike Mr. Kerry, he just simply picked a side and stuck with it, to the bitter end. And that's far more appealing to the electorate, because they know where you stand. It's more comfortable for them.

So, what do the Democrats need to do in the next election? Dumb themselves down, essentially. Make yourself easy to understand. And while you're at it, reach out to religous folks. Religion is deeply engrained in the lives of many Americans. When you denigrate or insult them for it, they're gonna feel threatened and turn out in large numbers to make sure you don't get elected. They're threatened by what they perceive as a changing and morally declining America. They see America as a Christian nation, founded and perpetuated by the Christian faith, and serving the Lord, and setting an example for the rest of the world.

The Democrats need to exploit this if they're gonna ever win another presidential election. I'll elaborate more in a future update, but I have to go for now.
