Nazi

I got called a Nazi not too long ago. I was riding downtown, doin' my job, and I stopped at a light. As I was waiting at the intersection, one of Lyndon LaRouche's wack-job followers comes over from a stand they had set up on the sidewalk, and asks me, "So, what are you doing to make this world a better place?"

"I'm ridin this here bike," I said right away.
"What good does that do?"
"Makes one less car on the road, friend. Makes us that much less dependant on foreign oil."
"Well that's not enough," he says.
I knew my light was about to change so I decided to let him have it.
"I bet you drive a car less than a mile to the store don't you?"
"Yeah, so...," he stammered.
"So, you support wars for oil then. What's LaRouchie got to say about that, friend?"
His mouth opened and closed but no words came out. Poor guy had nothin' to say, so I finished it for him.
"I bet you'd support the Royal House of Saud for the 'New American Monarchy,' wouldn't you?"
He couldn't take anymore. "You're a nazi," he muttered and walked back to handing out his stupid 'LaRouche for President' flyers.

Go ahead, call me a bike nazi, make my day.

Friends don't let friends vote for Bush

I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him. Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.

Away Too Long

I know...I know, its been far too long since my last post. But I'm here now and I'll catch you up on everything. So, since getting laid-off, I have been thinking about going back to school. The thing is, I've been thinking about going back for 10 years, but the thought of it always filled me with terror because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Well, I decided to go to Seattle Central and get a certificate in computer networking. My thinking is this: get certified in something that leads to working smart instead of hard. Then, that job can take me back to school for something I really want to do. So anyway, there is a program through Unemployment Insurance called the Commissioner Approved Training Plan that allows one to go to school while still recieving one's unemployment benefits, without having to do the weekly job searches. The program doesn't pay for school, it just allows one to go to school and not have to work. Sounds like a great program, huh?...

How Boring

OK, so I decided that I wasn't going to write anything political, that I was just gonna write about personal stuff. And I haven't written a thing in two weeks. How boring is my life? But I've got some stuff coming.....
