Morgan was asking "Don't all politicans lie?"
Well...it's true, money rules everything in the USA nowadays...and it's true the guys who signed the Constitution had slaves...and all politicians have to play a popularity contest, and toe party lines (if they're in the big parties, who win all the elections).
You could take these things, get really jaded, and say why vote?

I've been avoiding posting about politics for a few reasons: 1) as I said last journal, and on smatt's journals, I feel underinformed. I didn't want anyone to feel they were getting "MTV news" from me (i.e. dumb-ass news), 2) politics aren't fun, 3) politics especially aren't fun in the climate of violence/fear that exists today, 4) AHappyPocket is Republican and I consider myself mostly...

I would not mind converting to Islam simply because it means I have an excuse to cover my hair. Ha. Kidding.
Islam isn't a bad religion, though. I think, based on the Qu'ran, I like it better than Christianity and Judaism. It's a beautifully written text, and true Islam has some nice tenets. I just don't like how some people interpret it. And I don't like how some Muslims use the Qu'ran to oppress women. That's not cool.
You don't have to buy me bookshelves. I want to earn cash and buy those bookshelves myself. The work-study program at school needs to pay more cash.
I would say that I wouldn't mind having Mario Cuomo for president, but I'm 100% pro-Cherry. Cherry for prez! Woo!

The brand of syrup was Equate's nighttime. It's a wal-mart brand, I believe. Just the same as nyquil. I'm not allowed to have tylenol though so it's prolly just got that affect on me? Who knows. I had too much. And yes, it was a California Wildlife commercial. Us Californians, always on some kind of substance.

Yeah, more recent films do tend to look glossy. I don't like that if it's overdone. I really hate the color in 70s films, it looks faded to me. I dunno, is that when they switched from technicolor to whatever replaced it?

Interesting drive to work this morning. I got to hear that Michelle Branch/Santana song twice. Dunno if you (i.e. whoever's reading this) thinks that's "wussy", but I think it's the best Santana song since "Oye Como Va". I'm surprised it wasn't up for a Grammy. It just DEMOLISHES Norah Jones, Eminem, or whoever.
Secondly, I got to hear "If You Leave me Now" by Chicago....

I like cheesy Canadian rock bands from the late 70's... but at least I don't like Chicago!
Only joking. At least it wasn't Journey, who's video game scared me for life.

I totally agree with your views on the Clash/Sex Pistols thing...you and Souljacker are definitely the most like-minded fellows to myself on this site...we should start our own board, and be all exclusive and not let anyone else join...hahaha..actually that's a terrible idea...but still; congrats on the great taste!

I've never wanted to go into management at work... but an offer has come up, and two people (including the current manager, who's leaving) are telling me I really should go for it.
Man. I'm not management material! I hate telling people what to do...then again, I sometimes have to in my current job...and it's better that I become manager than some DOUCHE who DOESN'T...

So let me get this straight; the Village People roadies need a manager? 
Man; just don't get stuck being the manager who does everything himself, because he can't tell the other employees to do anything. You'll end up with an ulcer in three weeks' time. Don't kill youself over some dumb job! Well, good luck at any rate.
The Shmirnoff Triple Black is really good! It's like regular Shirnoff, but not as sweet or as citrusy...muy tasty.

Here I was, thinking I was gonna have nothing to say on a bored, rainy day...and then I saw Bowling for Columbine. I've liked some of Moore's work in the past, and I know the movie was officially endorsed by SG...yet something about my perception of it, Moore's self-righteousness in an interview here or there, annoyed me.

I just find Micheal Moore to be the headrest of those who want to be informed but cannot be bothered to take the time to read about the subject matter at hand.
Anyhow, 4:35 EST, what is known as Klaatu in the United States, was their debut album and the part where the morse code supposedly proclaims that Klaatu is the Beatles is on the track "Sub Rosa Subway".
I just cannot listen to Klaatu enough, to be honest. Sometimes I forget just how, well, good their music makes me feel. Especially John Woloschuk's tracks.
To my surprise Bullseye Records Canada is rereleasing Klaatu's albums, remastered of course.
I am going to buy those and track down the LPs. If you are even remotely interested in their sound, I'd suggest staying with their first three albums: 4:35 EST, Hope, and Sir Army Suit.
While Magenta Lane is alright, Endangered Species really sucks.

Have you tried Lorrie Moore? I think you'll really like her. Any of her books are worth reading. If you have any suggestions, please let them fly.
What now?....hmm, I didn't read anything really interesting at work today.
Listening to the Smiths' Louder Than Bombs again. How did I NOT like this album as a teen? I mean, I liked The Queen is Dead a LOT, and totally passed on LTB.
The place is filling with the aroma of chicken/cheese taquitos. 8 o clock and I'm just making dinner...bad SG addiction keeping...

First off, someone I have BOUGHT ART FROM, both a framed print and compilation books, was written up in this week's Washington City Paper. Rosemary Feit Covey. She does woodcut prints that are, at the risk of sounding very 1983, awesome. Check her out at www.rosemaryfeitcovey.com

Klaatu is kind of like Sgt. Pepper Beatles, from what people tell me, but I've listened to that stuff and didn't like it.
However, I love Klaatu.
I just make mixes when I'm feeling blue, because it is something borrowed, but together it is something new.
