Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if I bought How I Met Your Mother on DVD?
I am so ashamed.
Blessings and Curses
The good news is that Battlestar Galactica is returning on April 4th. The bad news is that we the viewers will probably only get half a season in '08 and will probably have to wait until '09 to finish it. Having finally bought Season 3 of BG the sting of this rumor (which has not been confirmed) is somewhat less painful, but painful nonetheless. Then something kind of hits me. I am anticipating Season 4 of BG more than the presidential election. I am an American and I have yet to decide on a candidate. It could be because I won't move until I know for a fact that Bush is leaving the office and there won't be some last minute "emergency" that would "force" the president to remain. If you think I'm being paranoid, watch American Idol. I really believe that shows main purpose is to measure the attention span of an entire nation. Without any evidence whatsoever, I wonder if they are compiling information separating people into certain categories. Pop is made up of people who read tabloids and watches reality TV. Apathy will be those who don't care but can't shut up about it (NYC). Finally, the most dangerous. Literates are the people who read and make up their own minds. Once this "emergency" happens, swift action will be taken against the Literates to "protect" the Pop while the Apathy won't even notice.
I don't know what will upset me more. That I have such a paranoid view of my own government or that I could be right. And then they find me. Crap. When is the next episode of American Idol?
The Truth...........
.............................. is that we need to judge our leaders not by what they say but what we hear. Listen and learn, listen and learn.

The Return 2: The Returner
Huh, I wonder if anybody actually cleans here?
Finding the Mojo
The one thing I can't seem to fathom is why I have all the symptoms of ADD but I am denied all those wonderful drugs.
Kidding.
Although there are times I wonder if it's possible to make a pill that makes up for a lack of sleep. Or creativity. Or social grace. If Big Pharma can create a pill that would make me an even more unstoppable sex machine that I already am, can this really be outside the realm of possibility? And even more importantly, will my medical plan cover the cost? Damn well better with the money I put in. Funny thing about money, we always looks for ways to acquire as much as we can, but when we do get that cash it never seems to stick around. Bills, bills, bills, always in the mail, like clockwork. Human compassion is hit and miss but that cell phone bill shows up on the 5th of every month. I'd be lying if I didn't say I am a little perturbed. The blessing of the Internet is the wealth of information available. The curse, because nothing comes without a downside, is parsing the real knowledge from the crap opinions pushing a particular world view (like me). Okay, I did lie. I'm not perturbed. I am downright disturbed. Something is wrong with us and I can't figure out what. Have you ever looked in a mirror and hesitate at who's looking back at you? When did that happen? High school? College? Earlier or later, that is the question. Good people exist, that I have no doubt, but they seem to be in the dangerous position. When they reach down to pull us up, it just seems that more often than not, those they help try to pull them down.
Why?
If I knew that answer, I probably wouldn't have done it.
The Truth................
.................................. is that responsibility is not something you can pawn off. The only way to run from it is to sacrifice those around you. At that point, you deserve what you get.
