Little Black Book

Oh it is hilarious… the ammo is out…. Bush just misspoke in a rally, stating that, “we will not have an all-volunteer army.” After a few moments the CROWD corrected his mistake… and I can’t find the news story on CNN I had to see it on the Daily Show… sad… real sad…

Interesting but I don’t think the democrats are going to run with it…

it is hilarious though… for one thing he says it incorrectly… for another he is making a point of wanting to clarify what he said during the debate… for the final reason he has to be told by the audience he made a mistake.. Just hilarious…

I’m sitting in the writing center at UL at L looking around and pondering over the last few days. I’ve noticed something lately. Existential crises are rampant in the popular sphere.

Think about it, haven’t you noticed a general trend of advertising toward the existentially aware? My concern is that it is not taking the dilemma seriously, and using it as flippant remarks. In a sitcom earlier i noticed an offhand sarcastic comment, “Sounds like you got yourselves a regular existential dilemma there… I’ll leave you to it..” it was in reference to a really trite problem. That is where the comedy comes in… the fact that the problem was so trite compared to real problems… sarcasm abound…..

But anyways… one joke an existential epidemic does not make…

I looked at my bank account yesterday and found mysteriously an extra amount of funds inside of it…. I’m confused… not sure what happened…. I’m giving it some time before i act on it though… I’ve been known to misappropriate funds and dig myself into a bigger hole… and it isn’t necessary right now…

There is an added bonus to working every weekend at Berwick…. i haven’t had to come up with money for groceries yet…. hah… interesting…

I’ve been arguing a lot with Mary lately… it seems like every time we talk on the phone we get into an argument of some kind… she brought it to my attention earlier… i don’t know who’s fault it is or if it is anyone’s fault at all.. maybe the stress of the long distance relationship…. maybe I’m doing what I tend to do which is evaluate a set solely by the experience of one of it’s members that tends to mimic the others in the set… the point being that I might be prejudiced because I just had another argument… I jokingly remarked that it wasn’t false advertisement… I enjoy arguing… but I also find it tiresome… I think it is just tonight come to think of it… last night’s conversation was similar but it also was good at some point… the point before that the conversation was really nice… so who knows…

I’m tainting the evidence with knowledge obtained recently…

Oh well she had a headache and she went to bed early… no doubt caused by yours’ truly…

I’m not tired…………….

I’m sitting here pondering over statements made in the past and I am attempting to try and get some things together…. I talked to Mom today… it was a really good conversation…. I said a couple things that were bothering me and she just listened… it felt good… Real good in fact…

I’ve figured some things out…. first I need to get this Nietzsche paper done… second I need to get out of this apartment… third… I need to study for GRE… fourth I need to take the GRE… Fifth I need to setup a regiment where I get out of this house and do things for fun… Sixth I need to let go of some of the things I’m worrying about and realize that this is my life and I can either sit back and watch it perform the tasks necessary or I can yet again take up the reigns and have fun… it has been so long since I’ve had fun by myself..

I think that is why I don’t feel good…. I’ve been more concerned about what “will” happen then concerned about what is actually happening… interesting dilemma…

there is this hillarious shirt that i think Mary would like… in fact i think any DnD nerds would enjoy this shirt… hell i’m not even a DnD nerd and i think it is funny….

it says:
Jesus Saves
(and in small print)
the rest of you take damage…

funny.. get it? Jesus has a high dex so he doesn’t get hurt… oh its hillarious….

i just woke up from having crashed.. i was wiped out..now i’m groggy…. oggy.. foggy… sloggy.. bleh

— well, now, is there not some foundation for suspecting that all philosophers, insofar as they were dogmatists, have not known how to handle women? That the gruesome earnestness, the left handed obtrusiveness, with which they have usually approached truth have been unskilled and unseemly methods for prejudicing a woman in their favor?

I love jon stewart… there is this snippet that was released on the internet of a cnn show called crossfire where jon stuart gives this very funny litany of what is wrong with their show. during the show there are choice words used by the individuals involved and even at one point, when it was pointed out that his show doesn’t do much better in referencing the problems with spinning and politics, he says, “if you want to compare your show to a comedy show then by all means go ahead but it isn’t my responsibility to ask the “hard questions” as it is your responsibility… later he said, ” the show that leads into my show are puppets doing crank phone calls… come on…” and even when he was told, “you should be in a journalism school”… stuart responded, “you apparently need to go to one”

the gist of the whole debacle was that jon stuart was angry that cnn was producing lies and rhetoric instead of the truth… and he says, “it hurts america…. stop hurting america” which was hillarious in and of itself.

i laughed… i cried… i can’t believe how good of a political motivator jon stuart is… its fucking hillarious…. comedy central has more of my respect then cnn right now…

I’m astounded by this… i’ll see if i can make copies for the relevant parties involved… i don’t think anyone should miss this… its hillarious…

Mary wanted to watch SNL tonight simultaneously. I called later then expected because i had to load some stuff on a boat and she was in her ‘writing’ phase. It means our date is off.

I guess theoretically it wasn’t a date.
I guess theoretically i wasn’t stood up.
I guess theoretically i’m free to do stuff i want to do…

false.. i can’t sleep… i tried.. but i can’t… ideas keep popping into my mind. horrible ideas…

I did not mention that one of my mentors has cracked. This isn’t completely new. I enjoyed talking to him most because he was a physicist concerned with existential problems. He was unique from the begining because he was also taking a very liberal arts approach to the existential dillemma. In the end his search to answer the question took a dark turn.

I hate the fact that looking back at my past few interactions with him were interactions full of judgement and a lack of concern. I was selfishly motivated. Concerned primarily with my own search and neglecting his all-too obvious calls for assistance. What could i have done?

Now i find i have a distinct desire to get in touch with him to find out his story. So fucking typical, i know. I tend to only get interested in radicals when they actually destroy their lives to make their point heard. I tune my ears and try and listen. So what is his story?
