Topical = Atypical

If you have been reading this crap for the last couple of months I'm sure you've picked up on a couple of themes.

1. I have problems with women.
2. I watch a lot of TV shows that no one else does.
3. When I read a book, see a film or hear some new tunes, I pass along the information as if my opinion matters.

It has occurred to me recently that I don't even really pay attention to the news of the world all that much. Like this shit with New Orleans or gas prices. I'm more concerned with not having access to my 700 mp3s that I lost, than I am about the devastation of entire large US city. And perhaps that is selfish of me?

I read an open letter to George Bush from Michael Moore today and I kind of remembered when I was a citizen of this country who gave a shit about it's future. I guess my heartbreak over Bush getting re-elected lead me to just tune out all the junk that is going on around me. I'm still shell shocked from the election, to the point that I barely think about anything outside of entertainment and heartache. I do know that part of me feels like this is the kind of crap I knew we would have to contend with by re-electing that fool. I defy anyone who is a supporter of President Jackass to come to his defense over our governmental reaction to this catastrophe in the South. You can't. The arrogance that our elected officials have is the bed we made and must lie in. I guess I've decided that I'm sleeping on the couch.

Oh well, what am I going to do? I could send some money to the Red Cross, but I'm more apt to put some in an envelope and send it to my cousin Sam who just moved to New Orleans right before I came here to Georgia. At least I would know where it's going that way. But instead I'll probably hold onto my money for when gas prices top out at $10 a gallon. Wait, I thought we pretty much took over a country in the Middle East that has tons of oil? Did I miss something? You all laughed when I bought an Echo. Now who's laughing?
