Snaps for the person who invented three-day weekends! After a week of school, and therefore sleep deprivation, I am more than ready for 72 hours of "me time." Although the reason I have a three-day weekend is for Columbus Day, which I don't think we should celebrate whatsoever. Why should we celebrate the infiltration of a nation, the bringing of disease, warfare, and slavery to new land, and the spreading of disease and imperialism, let alone do it all at once? Jeez....
Can you smell it? The scent of elections....it's in the air...okay, I'll stop being weird now =D. Anyway, my point is, Election 2004 is just around the corner. I am in charge of orchestrating part of my school-wide mock election. Today I registered people to vote in the cafeteria. Half of the kids registered with the Green Party. Most of them were just being jerk-offs doing it for a laugh (haha! Go Nader! Trees! and all that jazz), but a few, including myself, registered Green because they actually support the Green Party. I noticed that the most intelligent kids (Dom, Colin, etc. etc.) were pro-Nader. Interesting...I wouldn't be surprised if Ralph Nader is elected by our school due to the idiots who will vote for him as a joke (they probably all think Nader is running as a Green Party candidate too....stupid kids!).
Speaking of the election, tonight is the second presidential debate. I'm ready to watch Kerry kick Bush's ass again. I hope Bush cries this time (he almost did twice during the first debate...). I may not love Kerry (even though he is more progessive and posesses much more common sense, which is becoming uncommon in our world, than Bush, he's still a Yale-secret-society-free trade-multi-millionaire-white guy.), but he's obviously incredibly better than the mainstream alternative, Mr. Dubya from 'Mer 'Ca. I think my stats on one political match up test were Bush-9% Kerry-60% Kucinich-100%. Of course, that was a mainstream party only selector--my beliefs more closely match David Cobb or Ralph Nader, but hey.
Obviously, George Bush is a problem, but he is not the problem. And John Kerry is a solution, but not the solution. (Not by a long long long long long long long run!) At least I know that John Kerry won't mutilate the English lagnuage publicly, require a teleprompter whenever he speaks, talk about Freedom™ and Compassion®, make a joke of the American people in front of the world, pretend to help the environment while gutting clean air standards, try to write discrimination into the Constitution, etc.
On a less serious note, I get to watch meh neighbors animal conpanions this weekend! wo0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0t!!!! I may sound pathetic, I know, but this is the only animal contact I get; my whole family is deathly allergic to cats, and we're not "pet people." So, I'm really excited. They have a cat! hehe...I know, I know. This is sad, indeed. But c'mon, black cats are awesome! She always jumps onto my lap and does other cat-like things. The other cat is scared of me though.....I don't know why....I mean, I'm a vegan. I won't eat it :P. They also have a dog, an Australian Shepard, who is the nicest dog you'll ever meet. She's quite the friendly one :)
So yep, George Bush being smited, three day weekend, and cats. Can it get any better?
