We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say.

well, that's not entirely true... we finally got the long-awaited fax last evening. at long last we will soon be closing on the house and all this will be settled. Jesus Christ Superstar! it about frickin time.


as for the rest of the world as i see it: nothing. nothing important to say at all.

the waiting is the hardest part...

as many of you know, jen and i are attempting to close the deal on our new house. only thing is, one of the companies that should have sent a confirmation letter of receipt has yet to do so. this situation has now gone from annoying to aggrevating much like the new caddy can go from 0m to 60 in under 5 seconds. however, the retard sending us the letter continues to be a complete d-bag. accordingly, it was supposed to get faxed between 12 and 2 this afternoon. it needs to get to the underwriter before the end of the business day or we have to wait even longer. it is now 4:20 and still no notice. it's times like these i'm glad i don't own a gun. anyhoo, baby's up, so i gotta run.

PS: i'd love to find where this ass works and and have a nice little conversation about professionalism, and not bullshitting your customers for weeks on end.

Do Not Resucitate

Jen sent this one to me, and i figured those chosen few from work who have this address will thoroughly enjoy it...

Date: _____________

I, _________________________ (fill in the blank), being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.
Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of peckerwood ethically challenged politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for a cold beer, it should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my spouse, children and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.

Under no circumstances shall the hypocritical members of the Legislature (State or Federal) enact a special law to keep me on life-support machinery. It is my wish that these boneheads mind their own damn business, and pay attention instead to the health, education and future of the millions of Americans who aren't in a permanent coma.

Under no circumstances shall any politicians butt into this case. I don't care how many fundamentalist votes they're trying to scrounge for their run for the presidency, it is my wish that they play politics with someone else's life and leave me alone to die in peace. I couldn't care less if a hundred religious zealots send e-mails to legislators in which they pretend to care about me. I don't know these people, and I certainly haven't authorized them to preach and crusade on my behalf.They should mind their own business, too.
If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a political cause, I hereby promise to come back from the grave and make his or her existence a living hell.

Live and Let Die....

with the terri shaivo case no longer causing a major scandal, wait... now they're arguing the burial arrangements. apparently, the husband wants to cremate her and the parents want her buried in a catholic ceremony. let me go back to what i said when this whole ordeal went public. there is no reason why this issue had to go to the federal court. in fact, when it comes to determining what happens to a given patient, who has no power of attorney, no living will, and no DNR order, by law it is a State, not federal matter. if her doctor would have simply advised for a DNR or at least to give someone POA, none of this would have happened. only the religious right could have made such a fuss. and, being that our country is run by the religious right, they get free reign over the legislature. thus, writing a law for one person. give me a break. i did enjoy the protests though. if you didn't happen to catch any of it; the outside of the hospice center had been crowded with bible-beating religious fanatics for days. the best part i thought, was watching people getting beat down and arrested for trying to get jugs of water into the hospice center. little did they know it really wouldn't have helped... dumbasses. one of the detained was a 10 year old girl, who i'm assuming was put up to it by her republican parents. ha!

and on to the pope. i'll just say how interesting i find the media coverage to be. not so much the coverage itself, but moreso the differences from channel to channel. CNN seems somewhat more realistic about the whole thing, while the beloved Fox News Network makes the usual false claims and assumptions.

God Damn, it's issues like this that really make me realize my disgust with our system of government and their right wing religious ideals. i never knew it was unpatriotic to have a little common sense.
