sometimes you gotta rargh...

ha. ha ha ha. ha ha.

wow do people have egos. sometimes i fear i'm too self absorbed and then i see other people and i realize i'm not. or at least i'm not the worst.

sometimes i can't decide whether i want time to stand still or if i want it to hurry up and pass. some aspects of life are so wonderful ... so amazing ... that i never want them to end. but other times i realize i'm stuck in a hellhole that has a 99% chance of ever improving because mr. harry is a damn cheapass. what to do what to do.

tv is boring. unless something funny is on and that is rare. i like news, too ... but the thing i like the most about it is when i can discuss things with people and people don't like to discuss things with me because that would mean they would have to know what on earth is going on around them.

pretty sure the news could report that the earth would come to a standstill and we would all die in 24 hours ... and as long as it is only on the news ... life would continue as normal for most people i know. no newspaper. no internet news unless it's on the sports site. no television news unless it's on my show and that's usually half attention.

meh. i guess knowledge just isn't the path everyone chooses. they say ignorance is bliss. but it's also annoying. don't you want to know that iraq is/was (?) on the verge of civil war. and if you know that, don't you question why? and if you know that, don't you want to know why that shrine really was that important to the shi'ites? i dunno. i would but that's just me.

and, if you pay attention to the news, you may want to get out and have your opinion somewhat heard through elections. i don't know about you, but if i go on another cruise and the security of the port from which i'm leaving has been outsourced ... i sure as shit want to know. not to say i won't still go on the cruise ... i'm a pasty ass girl ... but i still would like to know. and if i did have a stronger opinion on that issue. i would like to know that my voice is heard slightly. again ... just my self-absorbed bastard ass.

sorry. knowledge is power. and whether you have a negative outlook of the news or not, it will give you that knowledge ... and thus ... the power.

'smy opinion. 'sall.
