Rant Alert!

I'm crossing the street (not in the crosswalk to be fair) minding my own business and this dude comes whipping around the corner heading right for me. I had the temerity to give him the slow down motion...

Hell yeah! Looks like the plan is to go w/in the next year, but it may not be New Orleans 
. Our Plan B is in research stage.
Man, I've been reading up on Bush's proposed budget, which should be named Fuck The Poor and Middle Class, and I am so pissed off! How much can this asshole just shit on Americans, and still get support from people?!? Tonight I'll be emailing my reps about it. I don't understand how anyone can support this budget. It's so obviously skewed.

Truth no longer matters in the context of politics and, sadly, in the context of cable news,"

This is from bin Laden in the audio today. There is no defect in the solution other than preventing the flow of hundreds of billions to the influential people and war merchants in America. I mean, he sounds like an over-the-top Michael Moore here,...

The best antidote to a hard week is a long weekend and I am going to take advantage of it. NO work to day at all no matter what. I'm going to workout, take a nice hot shower and make Beouf Bourguignon while I listen to some reggae, Tonight, it's football and a fire. Ah, saturday...

Yes! I know all about Stina! My ex-husband discovered her and, I swear, she was all he listened to for 1994 and most of '95. Lovely stuff. I am always amazed how many people have never heard of her.

The Bread Is Famously Good, but It Killed McDonald's
Ian Fisher
NY Times 1/12/06
First, an inconvenient truth: This is not a new story. But somehow the tale of how the city with the best bread in Italy forced its McDonald's out of business never really got told, and is spilling out now.
All the elements of a McDonald's morality play remain relevant today: perceived...

After reading this, I will be, for a little while at least, the happiest woman on Earth.
Oh, and I understand what you are are saying about the falseness of these so-called Christians. I agree with every single point you raised. They are the same people who'd show up on Bourbon St. carrying a cross, reviling all the "sinners"--an action completely designed to make them feel superior, to puff themselves up for bragging about what a difference they're making. BULLSHIT. If they really wanted to do something of any value they would help out the people in need in their own backyards.

ENGAGE.
I'm feeling "beat down" by life and thought I'd share this:
The World Is Too Much with Us
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;

Oh hello there my 'dark' friend. I hope you feel happier soon. Wanna let me know why you feel beat down at the moment?
Since I suck at picking my favorites (music, art, books, etc.), I thought I would post some things I've been listening to or reading recently.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

when many of us turn our attention inward and think
about how we can improve the way we live our lives.

introspection, we would do well to ask ourselves a

New Years resolutions:

4. Perform a genuine act of kindness
5. Listen
6. Spend less time on the Internet
7. Make art
8. Spend more time on the Internet
9. Forget about; the past...

aaand, good luck with your sauce, dude. after all this food talk, you know you have to tell me what everyone thought of the dinner later.

friends are important though. i'll reply to your email when i get back home. hope you've had a good day today.i need to try and get some sleep now.
