today, in all actuality….

wasn’t too bad.

Now, tonight, I can get the 5 page paper for mythology written and ready. Tomorrow drop off my absentee ballot at the courthouse and be done with that.

Yep.

And just so people know that, like jon and alex, I am well aware of my character flaws, here’re the things that are wrong with me:
I’m an egotistical, angry, ranting, (RABID), at times self centered, at most times irritating, ignoble lump of fatness. and I’ve got a beard. and I like to hunt. and I like video games. A LOT. and I’ve got absolutely no social skills. and I like Beer and alcohol. hmmm…oh yeah, and I’m judgemental.

that about sums it up. I’m no masochist, so unless you really find that I’ve forgotten something of utmost importance, I really don’t need comments. Also, that just goes to show how arrogant I am…I don’t NEED more comments. bwahahahaha!

About the State

yes, Jon, we do need the State.

Without the State, there would be no technology like the internet, no one protecting our freedom of speech as we have this debate, no one protecting the minorities from the might is right doctrine that rules without a social order, no one insuring that this technology continues running while we toss back and forth pithy comments and drivel.

Here again I find the fault that annoys me the most: you are willing to throw the ENTIRE CONCEPT of a State control, because of the abuses that have been done. You don’t take into account the privileges that living in a state allow. Is fixing something that is broken that hard? I kind of see anarchism is the consumerist politcal idea…”whoa, something doesn’t work anymroe. Let’s throw it out!”

The same for your argument against christianity, you are MORE than willing to trash the whole concept because of abuses by a few.

Without the state, there is barbarism. People like those in the GNN videos would be even more free to terrorize and murder their neighbours than they already are.

The concept of anarchism is indeed at the most interesting, but as humans have lived under some social structure for all of recorded history and probably before that, it is something that has no precedence in actual practice. Like Santa Claus, anarchism promises much, but in reality is nothing more than a child’s dream.

A good deed.

Usually when working at the hospital, my abilities are hampered for doing good deeds. I’m basically a deficient secretary who pushes papers all the time.

Occasionally, though, someone needs their car jumped, and if I’m working I’ll jump it. I know what it’s like having a car battery drained, and having received many many jumps in high school, it’s my way of paying back for all of those.

This morning however, a guy needed a ride back to Super 8. I normally draw the line at giving people rides, for a multitude of reasons, my car is my sacred place, my mess away from mess. That’s actually the large part of it, my car is usually a mess and I’m embarrassed by the thought of someone else seeing it.

This morning, though, the car wasn’t as messy as usual, so I volunteered to give this guy a ride, so he wouldn’t have to pay a taxi or a bus(whenever they start running). I originally told him no, as I couldn’t remember what state the car was in. But on the way out to the car, I was hit by the chance to do something nice, and this was it. I could do this, with little or no trouble. I thought about Lindsay’s Making Days blog, and decided that maybe I could try something too.

Not only did I give him a ride back to the hotel, but I stopped and ran into a gas station for a lighter and a 2 liter of pepsi for him(his foot was injured).

So that’s my good deed of the day. As such, I’ll have 20 minutes LESS sleep today than usually on thursdays. If I’m grumpy in class today, you know who to blame: Lindsay.

Whoa! Now this is interesting….

proof in the bhagavad gita that Krishna is an English Major:
Chapter 10, #33:
Among letters I am A, among grammatical compounds, I am the dvandva.

dvandva (dvän´dva), n. a compound word neither element of which is subordinate to the other, as in bittersweet.

now, c’mon, which god in their right minds would refer to themselves as a grammar tool?

I AM THOR…GOD OF THUNDER, AND…UM…CONJUNCTIVE VERBS!!!

I AM PAN…GOD OF THE PASTURES AND WOODLANDS…AND ADJECTIVAL PHRASES!

I AM LUG OF THE SILVER HAND….GOD OF ONOMATOPOEIA!

hahaha….grammatical compounds…these hindu gods, always good for a laugh!
