Part deux... because it's cold

As previously mentioned, I hate the winter. Why? Because of the snow that inevitably gets inside my shoes. I really hate that, in part, because I tend to wear weather inappropriate shoes... like my rocketdogs, which are a glorified pair of socks. Whatever, they were $5. Anyways, its Christmas Eve and what do I have to show for it? 14 hours at the nursing home tomorrow... unless I can con some sucker into taking my night shift so I'm not a zombie for work the next morning. It's highly unlikely though. Oh, that reminds me, I have to still wrap Aunt Jill's present... shit. If you're reading this, lemme know if you have any idea when we're getting together for Christmas... because I have no idea but I'm at work all day tomorrow. I've gotten a few presents already, including a bag, some lip balm and a sudoku book from cat, some $$ from the parents & Unka... and some stuff from Auntie M.

On to the real reason why I blogged today. Cat showed me a movie that everyone in the world needs to see. It is important to your life. It's called zeitgeist. It pretty much says that the government and the churches are corrupt. And also, I've officially changed my support from Barack Obama, who seems good, to Ron Paul, who is a Republican (gasp). Yeah I know, I'm the most liberal person most of you know, but he is against the "War on Terror" and wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve. Both good enough things to win my vote. If you didn't know, the Federal Reserve has nothing to do with the Federal Government, it's a privately owned banking system that is behind the national debt and is trying to get the US to have a joint currency with Canada and Mexico (bad). Ever hear of the European Union? That's what they're trying to do here, but instead, call it the North American Union. And our supposed currency? The Amero. How original. Anyways, I say neg to all of this. So get informed and go watch the movie. It's free to watch and all you have to do is go to the website and you can watch it there. And no, its not the most visually pleasing thing out there, but the information is interesting as hell.

Okay, enough of my rant.

Things I hate...

The electoral college. I absolutely hate the electoral college. Why can we not just go by the popular vote? If we could just do that, we'd have an actual president, instead of this little bitch we like to call Bush. Doesn't it make sense that the popular vote should elect the president, it is the people voting, after all. Ack. See what talking about presidents with Kent does? I'm all fired up.

The "ph" letter combination masquerading as the sound "f". While we're on that, I've had enough of the silent k, p, gh & t. What's worse? The "gh" trying to be the "f" sound... as if "ph" isn't bad enough. How do we expect people to learn English when we make these ridiculous rules? Check out the petition. SIGN IT.

Interpretations of the Bible. I'm not an avid reader of the Bible, nor am I remotely religious, but I do know that the Bible is, in its nature, a book of stories. If people want to believe in it, that is a personal choice, but do not impose that on me & mine. And do not use it to condemn or attack. That's just lame.

Bioterrorism.

Global Warming.

The last two are pretty self explanatory. I'm just a dork.

Dear Mr. President

Currently listening to: Dear Mr. President by Pink
Currently reading: Love, Ellen by Betty DeGeneres

I just wanted to plug Pink's song "Dear Mr. President" because I just heard it and I love it. Very anti-Bush, so don't listen if you like him... Actually, do listen if you like him. Here's a video of the song being performed as well. Later.
