at war

2004-10-27T10:13:00.000-07:00

I'm at war with myself for not knowing what to do
undecided I am
but not about the election

Undecided voters should be shot
if you are undecided at this point in the election
then you are undecided because you like the attention
that it brings with people paying attention to you
to convince you one way or the other

or you are uninformed and won't admit it to people
because you are embarrassed
and embarrassed you should be

Funniest thing I've heard all week
Bush supporters are nervous
Kerry supporters think the
botanist
has already won.

International Red Cross

Did you know that two nurses
from the International Red Cross
left for Iraq today...

to help people who are wounded
or mentally incapacitated

Did you know that two nurses
who work for free
a non profit organization
left for Iraq today...

Did you know that two nurses
who obviously have no idea
about the organization
they are working for
for free
in Iraq

Don't you know to research
a company before you join
a non profit organization

would you pay your executives
billions of dollars
to work for charity

Sounds like something to be proud of.

Did you know when you donate blood
this little red cross makes
a whole lot of green?

Plea....se

Sorry
this took me 2 hours to write
I just wanted it to be perfect
and while I know that it isn't
it's the best I could do
I was actually up at 7:45 this morning
I just couldn't sleep anymore
I justkeep waking up thinking.
However, I did sleep more last night than the previousone.
I've finished most of my work,
hopefully I can get back to reading some harry potter,
however, it seems to keep my mind from thinking
and wandering when I am doing stuff in the office.
I took the medicine this morning around 8:30
I tried to eat something with it
I feel okay right now, but I should know in an hour
or so if it is going to make me sick.
Why don't you read Harry Potter.

when you called me babe on the phone last night it sounded so wonderful
Something about this has made me realize how much I care about and appreciate you,
so in some very odd way,
it has been good for me to realize how important
and what an important part of my life you are
I'm not really sure what to even say or where to start about last night
it seems that we find ourselves in a similar predicament once every few months,
which I suppose is normal for a relationship,
whatever kind it may or may not be.
Ups and downs can be healthy sometimes.
However, since I came back from the4th of July weekend,
which was amazing....
you have become less confident about everything,
not just me...but the minute we are tangibly together,
I feel like we couldn't be closer.
So, I think it is mature of you to take some independant time
and figure yourself out
but you can't expect that it will happen over night
and you can't expect that cutting your best friend out
from helping youwill make it easier.

**** is really the only person I have spoken to
in depth about any of this b/cI feel like she really understands
because ***** went through this exact same thing
he has very much the same background you do

I promise to stick by whatever decisions you make
but I also promise to be realistic with you and tell you if I think it is a mistake.
I want you to make decisions and be confident in them.
However, I guess maybe Iwish you had started more small scale
instead making such a huge decision so quickly.
I want to help you stick by it, but I don't even know how b/c it feels so wrong,
but I promise to do whatever I can

I just hope you don't ask me to do something that sets us up for failure,
because people do make mistakes
and it takes a better person to recognize his or her mistakes
however quickly or long term it takes

but maybe this isn't one
I just don't have an answer.

I don't think you ever really let your feelings out
and as heartbreaking and painful as it was last night,
I was glad you cried and poured your heart out,
Ithink it was necessary.

I don't know two people that could giggle as they fell.
I am not sure I've ever had such an intense emotional moment
and connection with someone.
I hope you felt it too

or at least that you tried to let yourself feel it.

I wish you had the faith in yourself that I have in you.
I don't know what it is, but something causes me to have faith in you
that I haven't had in anyone else.
You have a way of making me question us and
I have told you before that it breaks my heart
and last night it broke my heart in a different way
I couldn't stand seeing you in so much pain
but part of it made me think that the pain isn't because of me,
but I don't know

please don't take the easy way out
some things are worth working through
like learning how to open up and letting people in
even if just as a really amazing friend.

My confusion arises out of the entire atmosphere yesterday.
From holding my hand so tightly and crying
when I would say something that I feel like you knewwas honest and true,
to your call 2 minutes after you left..to our kiss.

You'venever kissed me like that before
it was quite possibly the most meaningful kiss we've ever had
and I certainly hope it wasn't the last.

Time will definitely help you figure out a lot of things
follow your heart wherever it leads you
but my wish is for you to listen to it,
openly
just listen and you will be fine,
I promise
and I'll always be there to pick you up if you fall.
You shouldn't be unsure of yourself
you are the most incredible person
(besides my family)
in my life .
Love Always

Funny chain email

2004-10-13T13:21:00.000-07:00

I added the stuff in caps.
When you are sad -
I will help get you drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard
who made you sad.
When you are blue -
I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile -
I will know you finally got laid....BY ME!
When you are scared -
I will rag on you about it every chance I get
When you are worried -
I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to
quit whining.
When you are confused -
I will use little words....AND HUG YOU LOTS AND LOTS!!
When you are sick -
Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever
you have.
When you fall -
I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass...AND THEN PICK YOU UP.
This is my oath ... I pledge it till the end.
Why? You may ask. Because you are my friend.
Remember:
A good friend will help you move.
A really good friend will help you move a body.
Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.

Frustration

I cannot seem to do anything right
how cliche
It's not
It's true
I'm pissed and chances are it is at

you.

Enamored in anger
discontent
It is exhausting
Impressing always
Always Unimpressed.

Presidential Debate

2004-10-13T10:17:00.000-07:00

September 30th

I spoke with dozens of people
at the Riviera Country Club,
one thought to be of the most upper class
in ambiance, stlye and fulfillment.

It was not.

The people smiled callously
Walked nervously
Envisioned success
Others turned to a particular beverage
that I shall leave unnamed.

Those were the ones.

I appreciated those people
they were delightful.
They were real.

At 8 p.m. sharp
an older woman approached me
She spoke with delicacy and triumph
was I supposed to know who she was?
She gave me two tickets and said
"These are the best two I've got,
make sure you use them."

And I did. I sat in the 4th row.
Odd thing was that no one sat in front of me,
They wanted to leave room for the men in black.

With the anticipation in the room,
the intensity rose and rose.
Jim Lehrer broke the silence
with a cackle, for he knew as well as I

This was the moment.

This was the moment I learned about politics.
Two grown men
over age 35
educated at the most
highly respected
academic institutions
have mastered the art of the use of
synonyms.

So, uh...Mr. President...you have fifteen seconds
Name me every synonym for "mixed"
Quickly, Senator Kerry, fifteen seconds,
Name me every synonym for "lie".

Let's play Taboo you fine sirs,
Please Mr. President, tell us why you
would be a better president than Senator Kerry
and the five words you cannot use are
1. wrong
2. war
3. absent
4. mixed
5. nucular, the word is nuclear.

Please Senator Kerry, tell us why you
would be a better president than President Bush
and the five words you cannot use are
1. lie
2. tax
3. Korea
4. proliferation
5. Iraq

And let's grow up here,
NO synonyms.
For those that need help understanding,
No is synonymous with none, nothing,
zero, zilch, nada, caput
capiche?

elisabeth dressed in all white.
she wore a red cross, a cross, her front.

her job was simple.
she delivered mail, she delivered males.

and gave envelopes to women, enveloped in men.
generic machine printed letters, signed by a general, she printed a name.

a height – 5’10
a weight-175
a hair color- red
fill in the blanks, the blank was filled.
she shot a gun, gave a shot.

Mother asked how he died? If he dyed his hair?
His hair was now oozing red and shiny.

"It is important for students to get involved in the election process as soon as they are eligible because freedom (the right to vote) is one of the principals on which our country was founded.
It is an individual's right and duty to gain the political knowledge necessary to make an informed

vote!"

I’m famous, I am.
I’m on the website.
I pledged my allegiance

as a volunteer…
So, the uneducated could say our country was founded on a principal

A Noun.
A person, place or thing.

Quote me correctly.
It is an informed decision.

Something a certain someone didn’t think about before making one.

The head of my university, the principal, a great decision to have an event here and shut down an entire institution in order to positively impact our political experience.

An experience that 50 out of 13,500 can attend if their essay is good enough.
An essay, written in English, by an English major, when processed from script to type
By a trusted advisor…I reread and become “stupider.”

It’s here because
Oh yes, political reasons.

And then

2004-10-12T23:52:00.000-07:00

And then…

There was one,
Unopposed
And we called it a democracy.

An uncontested election
with General Washington
the only candidate for President.And still, we called it a democracy.
