The drama queens have spoken
So the Halloween party went great. Great attendance, great costumes, great dancing, great snacks, great decoration. man, it was fucking good. I am satisfied with that. about 90% of the people wore costumes and that's great. I was Ron Jeremy and I liked it. The best (in my opinion) were the 3 Dominoes, Harry & Lloyd (from Dumb & Dumber) and Mr. Potato Head. What a good halloween party.. shit man. OH and Alan punched a fucking hole through his door.
Onto other things... I think I may be one of the only people who doesn't love I <3 Huckabees. Also, I thought Saw was more funny than anything.
I am going to try and make this my last post on the subject of politics. But I promise nothing.
Sooooo, I know there are a lot of people out there with a lot to say, but here's my take on it.
Firstly, the dramatics and histrionics have to stop. Attention. The world is not over because George Bush is taking office again. We should not just "rip up the constitution" because he was re-elected. There is a certain filmmaker (who will go unnamed) who made a film a few years ago that made so many false points (in my view), but managed to slip in one point that I agreed on. The point being that the media love to cause fear. And, funny enough, this now seems to be what he (the filmmaker) wants to cause. BE AFRAID because BUSH IS IN OFFICE!!!! OOOOOH!!! SCARY GHOSTY WOSTY!!!!
Now don't get me wrong. I don't want Bush in office. I don't want Kerry in office. But do I believe that regardless of who was elected, the USA would still be here. It's not going to be hell and you should still fight for what you believe, but for fuck's sake, be rational. Things may get tough, but as long as you push for things you honestly believe to be for the better of the world, then it will work out.
In addition to that, I think it's fucking hilarious that people are calling their own country 'ignorant' because the person that they wanted to become president didn't get in. That has to be the greatest highlight of contradiction in people that claim to be "open-minded". The fact that they can't accept that intelligent people would learn the issues, examine their own opinions and views on things and then vote against the "open-minded" person's candidate just goes to show how little they are really open to. Isn't it possible for an intelligent, informed person to hold a view that's not completely in line with yours? I am not saying that ignorant people did not vote for Bush. Here is what I am saying... the kind of people who voted for whoever the AM Radio talk show host said to vote for are the same types of people who voted for whoever their favorite band told them to vote for. If someone looked at candidates, views, amendments, etc. and decided (based on their own views and ideas) what to vote for (regardless of party affiliation), then it cannot be called ignorance. It is simply someone's viewpoint.
A few more things.
I voted based on who I thought would make the best president. I also want to state that I have heard about the 'throwing your vote away if you vote for a 3rd party' concept so much and it's entirely too ridiculous. I'm sorry that I didn't vote for someone who I would never want as president. too bad... so sad.
2 amendments that I'm sorry to see got passed. The monorail and minimum wage. fuck man. that's pure shite.
Lastly, I don't understand the concept of working to make the next 4 years extremely hard on the government. I'm sorry, but it sounds like something a whiny brat would do. Instead, use the next 4 years to work to help the government get to what would be more of an ideal situation in your eyes. Try to make the best of it. Improve yourself. Maybe try getting yourself to a position of power where you could help make the world a better place.
anyways, that's all. thanks...
