be courteous with those sucking noises, some of us are trying to read
Okay I'll be honest, I'm a little miffed that a post about my cat gets so much attention but still no one really cares about giving blood. You horrible bastards. Like I said before, I'm giving again on August 20, which, just to say, is when the red cross is giving out free tickets to the Pawtucket Red Sox. I know I know, big whoop right? The Paw Sox? Yah whatever, I hope you never know anyone in the hospital. Also, for the fat guys in the audience, Pizza and Ice Cream are served daily free of charge. The collection center in Worcester takes all walk-ins, but you can make an appointment by calling 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (800-448-3543) if you are so inclined. Their hours are as follows:
Monday-Thursday: 1pm-8pm
Saturday: 8am-3pm
(they're open the 20th (friday) from 8am-3pm)
Like I said earlier, I will drive anyone who's interested, and buy everyone lunch. If anyone, ANYONE is interested, please give me a call at 617-817-1987 or 508-393-2343.
In other news, I'm really sick of how brainwashed the American people have become. We're lied to on a daily basis, then later confronted with those lies and we don't even care. DON'T EVEN CARE. It's like, the time and place that we're living in is so ridiculous, so utterly preposterous, that we have completely suspended our disbelief and we're just coasting along, waiting for the next pretty faced politician to wipe our asses and kiss our babies, feeding us the new line about keeping us safe. We're not safe, we never have been, we never will be. Invading countries, bombing and killing innocent people, stifling their thirst for freedom, that is not making us safer. Even if we've killed all the people who hated us before, we've done nothing but make twice as many people hate us, and the worst part is, I don't blame them at all. If my family was killed for no reason by an unapologetic foreign power who didn't even have the dignity to speak the truth to its own people, you can bet your fucking ass I would strap myself with explosives and get myself a passport. Isn't that spirit of rebellion and a lifting of oppression what this country was founded on? The only difference is the time and place, the American Revolution now would not be much different than what the Iraqi people are engaged in. Get our soldiers out of there, bring them back to their families healthy and not in boxes, give mothers and fathers their sons and daughters back, not little wrapped flags. Give the Iraqi people the freedom we promised them, not some shadow puppet government with deep rooted oil rights. And for God's sakes, get that murdering, lying, cheating mental midget out of the fucking office and into a cage where he belongs. If I could, I would try Bush for war crimes.
Americans love being lied to, that's all I can make of this entire situation. We're so used to marketing executives telling us what to buy, use and eat that we segway very neatly into being told what to believe, think and feel. We're all just comatose, immobile on our La-Z-Boys waiting for the next 60 second TV spot and bright smelling jingle to lull us to sleep. We watch the colors and hear the sounds as they please our brains in the most basic, most crude form imaginable. You should be sick by what you see on television, sick by what you read in the news, honestly physically ill by what our elected officials are trying to sell us. Americans are cattle; lazy, uninformed, and completely unwilling to change. This country is ours; we pay for it, we bleed for it, why not control it? Because in four years when Bush and Cheney have turned our nation into a prison and used fear (sounds a bit like terrorism, huh?) to control every aspect of our lives, when we're monitored and observed in the name of Freedom and Safety, when we all have fucking computer chips in our skulls wired to explosives around our necks, when all the republicans are smiling with guns to their heads singing "God Bless America," you're going to wish you had paid more attention to what was happening and less to who won Survivor.
Oh my God, Justin Timberlake is on TV? HOLY SHIT!!! I GOTTA GO!
"those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither freedom nor safety"- Benjamin Franklin, one of the fat, white, rich guys who founded our country. Oh, and he beat his wife too.
