OK so I just set this thing up. Yea gods look at that picture. I look all weird. I'll have to fix that.
I've never had a journal before. I wonder if anyone'll read this. Although, I suppose that sort've defeats the purpose of a journal, no? Perhaps I'm overthinking this too much.
I talked to my mom today. She said that everyone back in NY is expecting a terrorist attack of some sort tomorrow since it's the last day of the Islamic pilgramage. It occurred to me the other day that if something truly catastrophic was to happen to NYC that my entire family, as well as my oldest friends would all die. And then I'd be all alone.
Fuck man. How'd the world get so fucked up?
I was watching "Independence Day" during the Superbowl, cuz lord knows there's no reason I'd watch the Superbowl, and I saw the movie from a whole new perspective.
At the end of the movie, all the people of the world unite as one to battle the aliens. Arabs work with Jews. Americans work with Russians. All over the world, people who've hated eachother for thousands of years are suddenly working together. And then it dawned on me why. All of their governments had been destroyed. Finally, with the leaders of the world out of the way, the common man was able to put their petty differences aside and come together. I suppose this newfound view of the movie has something to do with the fact that my President scares the shit out of me. I look into his eyes and I see absolutely nothing there. No personality. He's like a void. He reminds me of the Smiler from "Transmetropolitan." God that was a great comic book.
People should read comic books more often.
Ok I'm gonna go eat and then maybe figure out how to make my picture look slightly less heinous.
